2004-10-08 00:55:43 +00:00
|
|
|
<dd>For now, LLVM does not have a Fortran front-end, but using F2C, we can run
|
|
|
|
|
Fortran benchmarks. F2C support must be enabled via <tt>configure</tt> if not
|
|
|
|
|
installed in a standard place. F2C requires three items: the <tt>f2c</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
executable, <tt>f2c.h</tt> to compile the generated code, and <tt>libf2c.a</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
to link generated code. By default, given an F2C directory <tt>$DIR</tt>, the
|
|
|
|
|
configure script will search <tt>$DIR/bin</tt> for <tt>f2c</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>$DIR/include</tt> for <tt>f2c.h</tt>, and <tt>$DIR/lib</tt> for
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>libf2c.a</tt>. The default <tt>$DIR</tt> values are: <tt>/usr</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>/usr/local</tt>, <tt>/sw</tt>, and <tt>/opt</tt>. If you installed F2C in a
|
|
|
|
|
different location, you must tell <tt>configure</tt>:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>./configure --with-f2c=$DIR</tt><br>
|
|
|
|
|
This will specify a new <tt>$DIR</tt> for the above-described search
|
|
|
|
|
process. This will only work if the binary, header, and library are in their
|
|
|
|
|
respective subdirectories of <tt>$DIR</tt>.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>./configure --with-f2c-bin=/binary/path --with-f2c-inc=/include/path
|
|
|
|
|
--with-f2c-lib=/lib/path</tt><br>
|
|
|
|
|
This allows you to specify the F2C components separately. Note: if you choose
|
|
|
|
|
this route, you MUST specify all three components, and you need to only specify
|
|
|
|
|
<em>directories</em> where the files are located; do NOT include the
|
|
|
|
|
filenames themselves on the <tt>configure</tt> line.</li>

<p>The LLVM test suite contains two major categories of tests: code

|
|
fragments and whole programs. Code fragments are in the <tt>llvm</tt> module
|
|
|
|
|
under the <tt>llvm/test</tt> directory. The whole programs

test suite is in the <tt>llvm-test</tt> module under the main directory.</p>

<p>Code fragments are small pieces of code that test a specific feature of LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
or trigger a specific bug in LLVM. They are usually written in LLVM assembly
|
|
|
|
|
language, but can be written in other languages if the test targets a particular
|
|
|
|
|
language front end. These tests are driven by the DejaGNU testing framework,
|
|
|
|
|
which is hidden behind a few simple makefiles.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>These code fragments are not complete programs. The code generated from them is
|
|
|
|
|
never executed to determine correct behavior.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

<p>These code fragment tests are located in the <tt>llvm/test</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
directory.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Typically when a bug is found in LLVM, a regression test containing
|
|
|
|
|
just enough code to reproduce the problem should be written and placed
|
|
|
|
|
somewhere underneath this directory. In most cases, this will be a small
|
|
|
|
|
piece of LLVM assembly language code, often distilled from an actual
|
|
|
|
|
application or benchmark.</p>

<p>The <tt>llvm-test</tt> suite contains whole programs, which are pieces of
|
|
|
|
|
code which can be compiled and linked into a stand-alone program that can be
|
|
|
|
|
executed. These programs are generally written in high level languages such as
|
|
|
|
|
C or C++, but sometimes they are written straight in LLVM assembly.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>These programs are compiled and then executed using several different
|
|
|
|
|
methods (native compiler, LLVM C backend, LLVM JIT, LLVM native code generation,
|
|
|
|
|
etc). The output of these programs is compared to ensure that LLVM is compiling
|
|
|
|
|
the program correctly.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to compiling and executing programs, whole program tests serve as
|
|
|
|
|
a way of benchmarking LLVM performance, both in terms of the efficiency of the
|
|
|
|
|
programs generated as well as the speed with which LLVM compiles, optimizes, and
|
|
|
|
|
generates code.</p>

<p>The tests are located in two separate Subversion modules. The code fragment
|
|
|
|
|
DejaGNU tests are in the main "llvm" module under the directory
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>llvm/test</tt> (so you get these tests for free with the main llvm tree).
|
|
|
|
|
The more comprehensive <tt>llvm-test</tt> suite that includes whole
|
2007-07-09 08:04:31 +00:00
|
|
|
programs in C and C++ is in the <tt>test-suite</tt> module. This module should
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
be checked out to the <tt>llvm/projects</tt> directory as llvm-test (don't use
|
|
|
|
|
another name, for then the test suite will be run every time you run
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>make</tt> in the main <tt>llvm</tt> directory).
|
|
|
|
|
When you <tt>configure</tt> the <tt>llvm</tt> module,
|
2007-07-09 08:04:31 +00:00
|
|
|
the <tt>llvm-test</tt> directory will be automatically configured.
|
|

|

Alternatively, you can configure the <tt>test-suite</tt> module manually.</p>

<div class="doc_text">

|
|
|
<p>The DejaGNU structure is very simple, but does require some information to
|
|
|
|
|
be set. This information is gathered via <tt>configure</tt> and is written
|
|
|
|
|
to a file, <tt>site.exp</tt> in <tt>llvm/test</tt>. The <tt>llvm/test</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
Makefile does this work for you.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In order for DejaGNU to work, each directory of tests must have a
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>dg.exp</tt> file. DejaGNU looks for this file to determine how to run the
|
|
|
|
|
tests. This file is just a Tcl script and it can do anything you want, but
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
we've standardized it for the LLVM regression tests. If you're adding a
|
|
|
|
|
directory of tests, just copy <tt>dg.exp</tt> from another directory to get
|
|
|
|
|
running. The standard <tt>dg.exp</tt> simply loads a Tcl
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
library (<tt>test/lib/llvm.exp</tt>) and calls the <tt>llvm_runtests</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
function defined in that library with a list of file names to run. The names
|
|
|
|
|
are obtained by using Tcl's glob command. Any directory that contains only
|
|
|
|
|
directories does not need the <tt>dg.exp</tt> file.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <tt>llvm-runtests</tt> function lookas at each file that is passed to
|
|
|
|
|
it and gathers any lines together that match "RUN:". This are the "RUN" lines
|
|
|
|
|
that specify how the test is to be run. So, each test script must contain
|
|
|
|
|
RUN lines if it is to do anything. If there are no RUN lines, the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>llvm-runtests</tt> function will issue an error and the test will
|
|
|
|
|
fail.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>RUN lines are specified in the comments of the test program using the
|
|
|
|
|
keyword <tt>RUN</tt> followed by a colon, and lastly the command (pipeline)
|
|
|
|
|
to execute. Together, these lines form the "script" that
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>llvm-runtests</tt> executes to run the test case. The syntax of the
|
|
|
|
|
RUN lines is similar to a shell's syntax for pipelines including I/O
|
|
|
|
|
redirection and variable substitution. However, even though these lines
|
|
|
|
|
may <i>look</i> like a shell script, they are not. RUN lines are interpreted
|
|
|
|
|
directly by the Tcl <tt>exec</tt> command. They are never executed by a
|
|
|
|
|
shell. Consequently the syntax differs from normal shell script syntax in a
|
|
|
|
|
few ways. You can specify as many RUN lines as needed.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Each RUN line is executed on its own, distinct from other lines unless
|
|
|
|
|
its last character is <tt>\</tt>. This continuation character causes the RUN
|
|
|
|
|
line to be concatenated with the next one. In this way you can build up long
|
|
|
|
|
pipelines of commands without making huge line lengths. The lines ending in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>\</tt> are concatenated until a RUN line that doesn't end in <tt>\</tt> is
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
found. This concatenated set of RUN lines then constitutes one execution.
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Tcl will substitute variables and arrange for the pipeline to be executed. If
|
|
|
|
|
any process in the pipeline fails, the entire line (and test case) fails too.

|
<p> Below is an example of legal RUN lines in a <tt>.ll</tt> file:</p>
|
2007-09-22 09:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
; RUN: llvm-as < %s | llvm-dis > %t1
|
|
|
|
|
; RUN: llvm-dis < %s.bc-13 > %t2
|
|
|
|
|
; RUN: diff %t1 %t2
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
2007-04-15 08:01:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-04-14 23:27:06 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>As with a Unix shell, the RUN: lines permit pipelines and I/O redirection
|
|
|
|
|
to be used. However, the usage is slightly different than for Bash. To check
|
|
|
|
|
what's legal, see the documentation for the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/exec.htm#M2">Tcl exec</a>
|
|
|
|
|
command and the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/Tcl26.html">tutorial</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
The major differences are:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>You can't do <tt>2>&1</tt>. That will cause Tcl to write to a
|
|
|
|
|
file named <tt>&1</tt>. Usually this is done to get stderr to go through
|
|
|
|
|
a pipe. You can do that in tcl with <tt>|&</tt> so replace this idiom:
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>... 2>&1 | grep</tt> with <tt>... |& grep</tt></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>You can only redirect to a file, not to another descriptor and not from
|
|
|
|
|
a here document.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>tcl supports redirecting to open files with the @ syntax but you
|
|
|
|
|
shouldn't use that here.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-04-15 08:01:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>There are some quoting rules that you must pay attention to when writing
|
|
|
|
|
your RUN lines. In general nothing needs to be quoted. Tcl won't strip off any
|
|
|
|
|
' or " so they will get passed to the invoked program. For example:</p>
|
2007-09-22 09:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
... | grep 'find this string'
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-04-15 08:01:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>This will fail because the ' characters are passed to grep. This would
|
|
|
|
|
instruction grep to look for <tt>'find</tt> in the files <tt>this</tt> and
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>string'</tt>. To avoid this use curly braces to tell Tcl that it should
|
|
|
|
|
treat everything enclosed as one value. So our example would become:</p>
|
2007-09-22 09:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
... | grep {find this string}
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-04-15 08:01:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Additionally, the characters <tt>[</tt> and <tt>]</tt> are treated
|
|
|
|
|
specially by Tcl. They tell Tcl to interpret the content as a command to
|
|
|
|
|
execute. Since these characters are often used in regular expressions this can
|
|
|
|
|
have disastrous results and cause the entire test run in a directory to fail.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, a common idiom is to look for some basicblock number:</p>
|
2007-09-22 09:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
... | grep bb[2-8]
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-04-15 08:01:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>This, however, will cause Tcl to fail because its going to try to execute
|
|
|
|
|
a program named "2-8". Instead, what you want is this:</p>
|
2007-09-22 09:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
... | grep {bb\[2-8\]}
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-04-15 08:01:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Finally, if you need to pass the <tt>\</tt> character down to a program,
|
|
|
|
|
then it must be doubled. This is another Tcl special character. So, suppose
|
|
|
|
|
you had:
|
2007-09-22 09:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|

|

<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
... | grep 'i32\*'

</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-04-15 08:01:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>This will fail to match what you want (a pointer to i32). First, the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>'</tt> do not get stripped off. Second, the <tt>\</tt> gets stripped off
|
|
|
|
|
by Tcl so what grep sees is: <tt>'i32*'</tt>. That's not likely to match
|
|
|
|
|
anything. To resolve this you must use <tt>\\</tt> and the <tt>{}</tt>, like
|
|
|
|
|
this:</p>

"set" the variable as a global in the site.exp file. Second, in the

|

to the list of "global" declarations at the beginning of the proc. That's it,

the variable can then be used in test scripts.</p>

<p>To make RUN line writing easier, there are several shell scripts located
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
in the <tt>llvm/test/Scripts</tt> directory. This directory is in the PATH
|
|
|
|
|
when running tests, so you can just call these scripts using their name. For
|
|
|
|
|
example:</p>
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>ignore</b></dt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>This script runs its arguments and then always returns 0. This is useful
|
|
|
|
|
in cases where the test needs to cause a tool to generate an error (e.g. to
|
|
|
|
|
check the error output). However, any program in a pipeline that returns a
|
|
|
|
|
non-zero result will cause the test to fail. This script overcomes that
|
|
|
|
|
issue and nicely documents that the test case is purposefully ignoring the
|
|
|
|
|
result code of the tool</dd>
|
2007-09-22 09:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
<dt><b>not</b></dt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>This script runs its arguments and then inverts the result code from
|
|
|
|
|
it. Zero result codes become 1. Non-zero result codes become 0. This is
|
|
|
|
|
useful to invert the result of a grep. For example "not grep X" means
|
|
|
|
|
succeed only if you don't find X in the input.</dd>
|
|
|
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Sometimes it is necessary to mark a test case as "expected fail" or XFAIL.
|
|
|
|
|
You can easily mark a test as XFAIL just by including <tt>XFAIL: </tt> on a
|
|
|
|
|
line near the top of the file. This signals that the test case should succeed
|
|
|
|
|
if the test fails. Such test cases are counted separately by DejaGnu. To
|
|
|
|
|
specify an expected fail, use the XFAIL keyword in the comments of the test
|
|
|
|
|
program followed by a colon and one or more regular expressions (separated by
|
|
|
|
|
a comma). The regular expressions allow you to XFAIL the test conditionally
|
|
|
|
|
by host platform. The regular expressions following the : are matched against
|
|
|
|
|
the target triplet or llvmgcc version number for the host machine. If there is
|
|
|
|
|
a match, the test is expected to fail. If not, the test is expected to
|
|
|
|
|
succeed. To XFAIL everywhere just specify <tt>XFAIL: *</tt>. When matching
|
|
|
|
|
the llvm-gcc version, you can specify the major (e.g. 3) or full version
|
|
|
|
|
(i.e. 3.4) number. Here is an example of an <tt>XFAIL</tt> line:</p>
|
2007-09-22 09:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|

<pre>
|
|

|
; XFAIL: darwin,sun,llvmgcc4

|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To make the output more useful, the <tt>llvm_runtest</tt> function wil
|
|
|
|
|
scan the lines of the test case for ones that contain a pattern that matches
|
|
|
|
|
PR[0-9]+. This is the syntax for specifying a PR (Problem Report) number that
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
is related to the test case. The number after "PR" specifies the LLVM bugzilla
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
number. When a PR number is specified, it will be used in the pass/fail
|
|
|
|
|
reporting. This is useful to quickly get some context when a test fails.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, any line that contains "END." will cause the special
|
|
|
|
|
interpretation of lines to terminate. This is generally done right after the
|
|
|
|
|
last RUN: line. This has two side effects: (a) it prevents special
|
|
|
|
|
interpretation of lines that are part of the test program, not the
|
|
|
|
|
instructions to the test case, and (b) it speeds things up for really big test
|
|
|
|
|
cases by avoiding interpretation of the remainder of the file.</p>

<p>The <tt>test-suite</tt> module contains a number of programs that can be compiled
|
|
|
|
|
with LLVM and executed. These programs are compiled using the native compiler
|
|
|
|
|
and various LLVM backends. The output from the program compiled with the
|
|
|
|
|
native compiler is assumed correct; the results from the other programs are
|
|
|
|
|
compared to the native program output and pass if they match.</p>

|
|
<p>When executing tests, it is usually a good idea to start out with a subset of
|
|
|
|
|
the available tests or programs. This makes test run times smaller at first and
|
|
|
|
|
later on this is useful to investigate individual test failures. To run some
|
|
|
|
|
test only on a subset of programs, simply change directory to the programs you
|
|
|
|
|
want tested and run <tt>gmake</tt> there. Alternatively, you can run a different
|
|
|
|
|
test using the <tt>TEST</tt> variable to change what tests or run on the
|
|
|
|
|
selected programs (see below for more info).</p>

|
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>In addition for testing correctness, the <tt>llvm-test</tt> directory also
|
|
|
|
|
performs timing tests of various LLVM optimizations. It also records
|
|
|
|
|
compilation times for the compilers and the JIT. This information can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to compare the effectiveness of LLVM's optimizations and code
|
|
|
|
|
generation.</p>

<p><tt>llvm-test</tt> tests are divided into three types of tests: MultiSource,

|

SingleSource, and External.</p>

|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>llvm-test/SingleSource</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The SingleSource directory contains test programs that are only a single
|
|
|
|
|
source file in size. These are usually small benchmark programs or small
|
|
|
|
|
programs that calculate a particular value. Several such programs are grouped
|
|
|
|
|
together in each directory.</p></li>

|
|
|
<li><tt>llvm-test/MultiSource</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The MultiSource directory contains subdirectories which contain entire
|
|
|
|
|
programs with multiple source files. Large benchmarks and whole applications
|
|
|
|
|
go here.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>llvm-test/External</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The External directory contains Makefiles for building code that is external
|
|
|
|
|
to (i.e., not distributed with) LLVM. The most prominent members of this
|
|
|
|
|
directory are the SPEC 95 and SPEC 2000 benchmark suites. The <tt>External</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
directory does not contain these actual tests,but only the Makefiles that know
|
|
|
|
|
how to properly compile these programs from somewhere else. The presence and
|
|
|
|
|
location of these external programs is configured by the llvm-test
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>configure</tt> script.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Each tree is then subdivided into several categories, including applications,
|
|
|
|
|
benchmarks, regression tests, code that is strange grammatically, etc. These
|
|
|
|
|
organizations should be relatively self explanatory.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Some tests are known to fail. Some are bugs that we have not fixed yet;
|
|
|
|
|
others are features that we haven't added yet (or may never add). In DejaGNU,
|
|
|
|
|
the result for such tests will be XFAIL (eXpected FAILure). In this way, you
|
|
|
|
|
can tell the difference between an expected and unexpected failure.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The tests in <tt>llvm-test</tt> have no such feature at this time. If the
|
|
|
|
|
test passes, only warnings and other miscellaneous output will be generated. If
|
|
|
|
|
a test fails, a large <program> FAILED message will be displayed. This
|
|
|
|
|
will help you separate benign warnings from actual test failures.</p>

<p>In addition to the regular "whole program" tests, the <tt>llvm-test</tt>
|

If the variable TEST is defined on the gmake command line, the test system will

designed for internal LLVM research and will not work outside of the LLVM

own TEST Makefile for any optimization or analysis passes that you develop with

<p>There are a number of ways to run the tests and generate output. The most
|
|
|
|
|
simple one is simply running <tt>gmake</tt> with no arguments. This will
|
|
|
|
|
compile and run all programs in the tree using a number of different methods
|
|
|
|
|
and compare results. Any failures are reported in the output, but are likely
|
|
|
|
|
drowned in the other output. Passes are not reported explicitely.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Somewhat better is running <tt>gmake TEST=sometest test</tt>, which runs
|
|
|
|
|
the specified test and usually adds per-program summaries to the output
|
|
|
|
|
(depending on which sometest you use). For example, the <tt>nightly</tt> test
|
|
|
|
|
explicitely outputs TEST-PASS or TEST-FAIL for every test after each program.
|
|
|
|
|
Though these lines are still drowned in the output, it's easy to grep the
|
|
|
|
|
output logs in the Output directories.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Even better are the <tt>report</tt> and <tt>report.format</tt> targets
|
|
|
|
|
(where <tt>format</tt> is one of <tt>html</tt>, <tt>csv</tt>, <tt>text</tt> or
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>graphs</tt>). The exact contents of the report are dependent on which
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>TEST</tt> you are running, but the text results are always shown at the
|
|
|
|
|
end of the run and the results are always stored in the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>report.<type>.format</tt> file (when running with
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>TEST=<type></tt>).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The <tt>report</tt> also generate a file called
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>report.<type>.raw.out</tt> containing the output of the entire test
|
|
|
|
|
run.

|
|
|
<p>Assuming you can run llvm-test, (e.g. "<tt>gmake TEST=nightly report</tt>"
|
|
|
|
|
should work), it is really easy to run optimizations or code generator
|
|
|
|
|
components against every program in the tree, collecting statistics or running
|
|
|
|
|
custom checks for correctness. At base, this is how the nightly tester works,
|
|
|
|
|
it's just one example of a general framework.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Lets say that you have an LLVM optimization pass, and you want to see how
|
|
|
|
|
many times it triggers. First thing you should do is add an LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="ProgrammersManual.html#Statistic">statistic</a> to your pass, which
|
|
|
|
|
will tally counts of things you care about.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Following this, you can set up a test and a report that collects these and
|
|
|
|
|
formats them for easy viewing. This consists of two files, an
|
|
|
|
|
"<tt>llvm-test/TEST.XXX.Makefile</tt>" fragment (where XXX is the name of your
|
|
|
|
|
test) and an "<tt>llvm-test/TEST.XXX.report</tt>" file that indicates how to
|
|
|
|
|
format the output into a table. There are many example reports of various
|
|
|
|
|
levels of sophistication included with llvm-test, and the framework is very
|
|
|
|
|
general.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are interested in testing an optimization pass, check out the
|
|
|
|
|
"libcalls" test as an example. It can be run like this:<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|

|

% cd llvm/projects/llvm-test/MultiSource/Benchmarks # or some other level
|
|
|
|
|
% make TEST=libcalls report

|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This will do a bunch of stuff, then eventually print a table like this:</p>

<p>This basically is grepping the -stats output and displaying it in a table.
|
|
|
|
|
You can also use the "TEST=libcalls report.html" target to get the table in HTML
|
|
|
|
|
form, similarly for report.csv and report.tex.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The source for this is in llvm-test/TEST.libcalls.*. The format is pretty
|
|
|
|
|
simple: the Makefile indicates how to run the test (in this case,
|
|
|
|
|
"<tt>opt -simplify-libcalls -stats</tt>"), and the report contains one line for
|
|
|
|
|
each column of the output. The first value is the header for the column and the
|
|
|
|
|
second is the regex to grep the output of the command for. There are lots of
|
|
|
|
|
example reports that can do fancy stuff.</p>

<p>It is also possible to specify the the location your nightly test results
|
|
|
|
|
are submitted. You can do this by passing the command line option
|
|
|
|
|
"-submit-server [server_address]" and "-submit-script [script_on_server]" to
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>utils/NewNightlyTest.pl</tt>. For example, to submit to the llvm.org
|
|
|
|
|
nightly test results page, you would invoke the nightly test script with
|
|
|
|
|
"-submit-server llvm.org -submit-script /nightlytest/NightlyTestAccept.cgi".
|
|
|
|
|
If these options are not specified, the nightly test script sends the results
|
|
|
|
|
to the llvm.org nightly test results page.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Take a look at the <tt>NewNightlyTest.pl</tt> file to see what all of the
|
|
|
|
|
flags and strings do. If you start running the nightly tests, please let us
|
|
|
|
|
know. Thanks!</p>
