Tests

Multiple alternatives exist to install QEMU, to register the interpreter and/or to use OCI containers. The table below summarizes all the combinations that are tested on CI services in this project:

Tip

n is about executing a binary on the host, not inside a container.

where:

• $file is the qemu-*-static binary corresponding to the target architecture. In these tests: file=qemu-aarch64-static.
• -r|--clear: clean any registered qemu-* interpreter.
• -s|--static: add --suffix -static to the args for qemu-binfmt-conf.sh.
• -p|--persistent: if yes, the interpreter is loaded when binfmt is configured and remains in memory. All future uses are cloned from the open file.
• vol: whether the QEMU binary must be bind between the host and the container where target binaries are located. None of the methods with vol=y can be used for docker build.
