#!/usr/bin/env python
# This script is used to bisect skip and count arguments for --debug-counter.
# It is similar to bisect, except it understands how to increase skip and decrease count
#
# Typical usage:
#
# bisect-skip-count bisect-command.sh "%(skip)d" "%(count)d" 2>&1 | tee bisect.out
#
# bisect-command.sh is something like this:
# #! /bin/bash
#
# skip=$1
# count=$2
#
# opt -debug-counter=my-counter-skip=${skip},my-counter-count=${count}
# ... Test output of opt and exit zero for pass, non-zero for fail
#
# Examine bisect.out to look for "Last good skip" and "Last good
# count" to find the values of the counter that produce a passing
# result. Incrementing the last good count by one or decrementing the
# last good skip by one should produce a failure.
