class FileDecoratorBase(object):
    """
    Base class for decorators that manipulate files for test cases.

    The decorator expects to be provided with at least one file path
    on construction. When called, it replaces the setUp() and
    tearDown() functions of the type it is called on with custom ones.

    The new setUp() function performs the following steps:
    - create a file list in the decorated class with the name stored in
      FILE_LIST_NAME (defaults to _files)
    - iterate over all files, performing:
        - expand the file's path via expand_variables (member function
          of the decorated class)
        - call self.setUp_file_action(expanded file name)
        - append the result to the file list in the decorated class
    - call the old setUp()

    The function self.setUp_file_action is provided by this class and
    is intended to be overridden by child classes to provide some
    functionality, like file copies.


    The new tearDown() function performs the following steps:
    - call the old tearDown() function
    - iterate over all files in the file list:
         - call self.tearDown_file_action(filename)

    The function self.tearDown_file_action can be overridden by child
    classes. The default version provided by this class simply deletes
    all files that are passed to it.


    Example
    -------

    We'll inherit from FileDecoratorBase and override the member
    functions setUp_file_action and tearDown_file_action:

    >>> class TestDecorator(FileDecoratorBase):
    ...     def setUp_file_action(self, f):
    ...         print("setUp_file_action with", f)
    ...         return f.capitalize()
    ...
    ...     def tearDown_file_action(self, f):
    ...         print("tearDown_file_action with", f)

    Then, we use that decorator to wrap a class mocking
    system_tests.Case:

    >>> @TestDecorator("one", "two", "three")
    ... class MockCase(object):
    ...     def setUp(self):
    ...         print("calling MockCase.setUp()")
    ...
    ...     def tearDown(self):
    ...         print("calling MockCase.tearDown()")
    ...
    ...     def expand_variables(self, var):
    ...         return var + "_file"

    >>> M = MockCase()

    setUp has been replaced by a the new version, but the old one is
    still called. The new setUp iterates over all parameters passed to
    the constructor of the decorator, passes them to expand_variables
    and then to setUp_file_action:
    >>> M.setUp()
    setUp_file_action with one_file
    setUp_file_action with two_file
    setUp_file_action with three_file
    calling MockCase.setUp()

    The tearDown() function works accordingly:
    >>> M.tearDown()
    calling MockCase.tearDown()
    tearDown_file_action with One_file
    tearDown_file_action with Two_file
    tearDown_file_action with Three_file

    Please note the capitalized "file" names (this is due to
    setUp_file_action returning f.capitalized()) and that the old
    tearDown is called after the new one runs.

    Drop-in replacement for the default Case.compare_stderr() function that

    Parameters:
    - i, command, expected_stderr: ignored
    - got_stderr: checked for signs of ASAN und UBSAN error messages

    This function ignores the expected output to stderr! It is intended for
    test cases where standard error is filled with useless debugging
    messages/warnings that are not really relevant for the test and not worth
    storing in the test suite. This function can be used to still be able to
    catch ASAN & UBSAN error messages.

    Example usage
    -------------

    Override the default compare_stderr function in your subclass of Case with
    this function:
    >>> class TestNoAsan(Case):
    ...     compare_stderr = check_no_ASAN_UBSAN_errors

    >>> T = TestNoAsan()

    The new compare_stderr will only complain if there are strings inside the
    obtained stderr which could be an error reported by ASAN/UBSAN:
    >>> T.compare_stderr(0, "", "runtime error: load of value 190", "some output")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
     ..
    AssertionError: 'runtime error' unexpectedly found in 'runtime error: load of value 190'

    >>> T.compare_stderr(0, "", "SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow", "")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
     ..
    AssertionError: 'AddressSanitizer' unexpectedly found in 'SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow'

    It will not complain in all other cases, especially when expected_stderr
    and got_stderr do not match:
    >>> T.compare_stderr(0, "", "some output", "other output")

    This function also supports binary output:
    >>> ASAN_ERROR = bytes("SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow", encoding='ascii')
    >>> T.compare_stderr(0, "", ASAN_ERROR, "other output")
