| Overview
 | |
| ========
 | |
| 
 | |
| This document is the reference manual for the compiler-rt modifications to the
 | |
| testing infrastructure. Documentation for the infrastructure itself can be found at
 | |
| :ref:`llvm_testing_guide`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| LLVM testing infrastructure organization
 | |
| ========================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| The compiler-rt testing infrastructure contains regression tests which are run
 | |
| as part of the usual ``make check-all`` and are expected to always pass -- they
 | |
| should be run before every commit.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Quick start
 | |
| ===========
 | |
| 
 | |
| The regressions tests are in the "compiler-rt" module and are normally checked
 | |
| out in the directory ``llvm/projects/compiler-rt/test``. Use ``make check-all``
 | |
| to run the regression tests after building compiler-rt.
 | |
| 
 | |
| REQUIRES, XFAIL, etc.
 | |
| ---------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Sometimes it is necessary to restrict a test to a specific target or mark it as
 | |
| an "expected fail" or XFAIL. This is normally achieved using ``REQUIRES:`` or
 | |
| ``XFAIL:`` with a substring of LLVM's default target triple. Unfortunately, the
 | |
| behaviour of this is somewhat quirky in compiler-rt. There are two main
 | |
| pitfalls to avoid.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The first pitfall is that these directives perform a substring match on the
 | |
| triple and as such ``XFAIL: mips`` affects more triples than expected. For
 | |
| example, ``mips-linux-gnu``, ``mipsel-linux-gnu``, ``mips64-linux-gnu``, and
 | |
| ``mips64el-linux-gnu`` will all match a ``XFAIL: mips`` directive. Including a
 | |
| trailing ``-`` such as in ``XFAIL: mips-`` can help to mitigate this quirk but
 | |
| even that has issues as described below.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The second pitfall is that the default target triple is often inappropriate for
 | |
| compiler-rt tests since compiler-rt tests may be compiled for multiple targets.
 | |
| For example, a typical build on an ``x86_64-linux-gnu`` host will often run the
 | |
| tests for both x86_64 and i386. In this situation ``XFAIL: x86_64`` will mark
 | |
| both the x86_64 and i386 tests as an expected failure while ``XFAIL: i386``
 | |
| will have no effect at all.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To remedy both pitfalls, compiler-rt tests provide a feature string which can
 | |
| be used to specify a single target. This string is of the form
 | |
| ``target-is-${arch}`` where ``${arch}}`` is one of the values from the
 | |
| following lines of the CMake output::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   -- Compiler-RT supported architectures: x86_64;i386
 | |
|   -- Builtin supported architectures: i386;x86_64
 | |
| 
 | |
| So for example ``XFAIL: target-is-x86_64`` will mark a test as expected to fail
 | |
| on x86_64 without also affecting the i386 test and ``XFAIL: target-is-i386``
 | |
| will mark a test as expected to fail on i386 even if the default target triple
 | |
| is ``x86_64-linux-gnu``. Directives that use these ``target-is-${arch}`` string
 | |
| require exact matches so ``XFAIL: target-is-mips``,
 | |
| ``XFAIL: target-is-mipsel``, ``XFAIL: target-is-mips64``, and
 | |
| ``XFAIL: target-is-mips64el`` all refer to different MIPS targets.
