Love tests, thanks! There are already shell tests that compile C code
but they do it by having the C code within the shell test, for
example:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/tests/shell/pipe_test.sh?h=perf/core#n14
Having it this way I thinks means the tests can run properly when
installed, as we don't install non-sh files:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/Makefile.perf?h=perf/core#n1016
Thanks,
Ian
