|
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 tests are located in two separate CVS modules. The basic feature and
|
|
|
|
|
regression tests are in the main "llvm" module under the directory
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>llvm/test</tt>. A more comprehensive test suite that includes whole
|
|
|
|
|
programs in C and C++ is in the <tt>llvm-test</tt> module. This module should
|
|
|
|
|
be checked out to the <tt>llvm/projects</tt> directory. When you
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>configure</tt> the <tt>llvm</tt> module, the <tt>llvm-test</tt> module
|
2004-12-10 15:51:16 +00:00
|
|
|
will be automatically configured. Alternatively, you can configure the <tt>llvm-test</tt> module manually.</p>

2004-12-06 02:11:52 +00:00

<p>To run all of the simple tests in LLVM using DejaGNU, use the master Makefile in the

2004-09-05 20:07:26 +00:00

<tt>llvm/test</tt> directory:</p>

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

2004-09-05 20:07:26 +00:00
|
|
|
fragments and whole programs. Code fragments are in the <tt>llvm</tt> module
|
2005-05-13 20:25:49 +00:00

under the <tt>llvm/test</tt> directory. The whole programs

<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.</p>

<p>Whole Programs 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>

|
|
|
|
2004-03-01 18:21:04 +00:00
|
|
|
<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>Each type of test in the LLVM test suite has its own directory. The major

subtrees of the test suite directory tree are as follows:</p>

<ul>

<li><tt>llvm/test/Features</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This directory contains sample codes that test various features of the
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM language. These pieces of sample code are run through various
|
|
|
|
|
assembler, disassembler, and optimizer passes.</p>

|
|

<li><tt>llvm/test/Regression</tt>
|
|
|

|
<p>This directory contains regression tests for LLVM. 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> CVS module contains 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
|
2004-10-08 00:41:27 +00:00
|
|
|
compared to the native program output and pass if they match.</p>
|
2004-09-05 20:07:26 +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></li>

|
<p>The LLVM test suite is partially driven by DejaGNU and partially
|
|
|
|
|
driven by GNU Make. Specifically, the Features and Regression tests
|
2004-12-10 15:51:16 +00:00
|
|
|
are all driven by DejaGNU. The <tt>llvm-test</tt>
|
2004-12-06 02:11:52 +00:00
|
|
|
module is currently driven by a set of Makefiles.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The DejaGNU structure is very simple, but does require some
|
2004-12-10 15:51:16 +00:00
|
|
|
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>
|
2004-12-06 02:11:52 +00:00
|
|
|
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. This file is a program written in tcl that calls
|
|
|
|
|
the <tt>llvm-runtests</tt> procedure on each test file. The
|
|
|
|
|
llvm-runtests procedure is defined in
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>llvm/test/lib/llvm-dg.exp</tt>. Any directory that contains only
|
|
|
|
|
directories does not need the <tt>dg.exp</tt> file.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In order for a test to be run, it must contain information within
|
|
|
|
|
the test file on how to run the test. These are called <tt>RUN</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
lines. Run lines are specified in the comments of the test program
|
|
|
|
|
using the keyword <tt>RUN</tt> followed by a colon, and lastly the
|
|
|
|
|
commands to execute. These commands will be executed in a bash script,
|
|
|
|
|
so any bash syntax is acceptable. You can specify as many RUN lines as
|
|
|
|
|
necessary. Each RUN line translates to one line in the resulting bash
|
|
|
|
|
script. Below is an example of legal RUN lines in a <tt>.ll</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
file:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
; RUN: llvm-as < %s | llvm-dis > %t1
|
|
|
|
|
; RUN: llvm-dis < %s.bc-13 > %t2
|
|
|
|
|
; RUN: diff %t1 %t2
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are a couple patterns within a <tt>RUN</tt> line that the
|
|
|
|
|
llvm-runtest procedure looks for and replaces with the appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
syntax:</p>

<p>There are also several scripts in the llvm/test/Scripts directory

that you might find useful when writing <tt>RUN</tt> lines.</p>
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<p>Lastly, you can easily mark a test that is expected to fail on a
|
|
|
|
|
specific platform by using the <tt>XFAIL</tt> keyword. Xfail lines are
|
|
|
|
|
specified in the comments of the test program using <tt>XFAIL</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
followed by a colon, and one or more regular expressions (separated by
|
|
|
|
|
a comma) that will match against the target triplet for the
|
|
|
|
|
machine. You can use * to match all targets. Here is an example of an
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>XFAIL</tt> line:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>

<p>As mentioned previously, the <tt>llvm-test</tt> module provides three types
|
|
|
|
|
of tests: MultiSource, SingleSource, and External. 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>In addition to the regular "whole program" tests, the <tt>llvm-test</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
module also provides a mechanism for compiling the programs in different ways.
|
|
|
|
|
If the variable TEST is defined on the gmake command line, the test system will
|
|
|
|
|
include a Makefile named <tt>TEST.<value of TEST variable>.Makefile</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
This Makefile can modify build rules to yield different results.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, the LLVM nightly tester uses <tt>TEST.nightly.Makefile</tt> to
|
|
|
|
|
create the nightly test reports. To run the nightly tests, run <tt>gmake
|
|
|
|
|
TEST=nightly</tt>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are several TEST Makefiles available in the tree. Some of them are
|
|
|
|
|
designed for internal LLVM research and will not work outside of the LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
research group. They may still be valuable, however, as a guide to writing your
|
|
|
|
|
own TEST Makefile for any optimization or analysis passes that you develop with
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM.</p>
|
2004-12-08 16:52:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note, when configuring the <tt>llvm-test</tt> module, you might want to
|
|
|
|
|
specify the following configuration options:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt><i>--enable-spec2000</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt><i>--enable-spec2000=<<tt>directory</tt>></i>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
Enable the use of SPEC2000 when testing LLVM. This is disabled by default
|
|
|
|
|
(unless <tt>configure</tt> finds SPEC2000 installed). By specifying
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>directory</tt>, you can tell configure where to find the SPEC2000
|
|
|
|
|
benchmarks. If <tt>directory</tt> is left unspecified, <tt>configure</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
uses the default value
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>/home/vadve/shared/benchmarks/speccpu2000/benchspec</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt><i>--enable-spec95</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt><i>--enable-spec95=<<tt>directory</tt>></i>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
Enable the use of SPEC95 when testing LLVM. It is similar to the
|
|
|
|
|
<i>--enable-spec2000</i> option.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt><i>--enable-povray</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt><i>--enable-povray=<<tt>directory</tt>></i>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
Enable the use of Povray as an external test. Versions of Povray written
|
|
|
|
|
in C should work. This option is similar to the <i>--enable-spec2000</i>
|
|
|
|
|
option.

<ol>
|

This will get the test suite into <tt>llvm/projects/llvm-test</tt></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>configure the test suite. You can do this one of two ways:
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Use the regular llvm configure:<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>cd $LLVM_OBJ_ROOT ; $LLVM_SRC_ROOT/configure</tt><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
This will ensure that the <tt>projects/llvm-test</tt> directory is also
|
|
|
|
|
properly configured.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Use the <tt>configure</tt> script found in the <tt>llvm-test</tt> source

<p>Note that the second and third steps only need to be done once. After you

have the suite checked out and configured, you don't need to do it again (unless
|
|
|

the test code or configure script changes).</p>

|
|
|
<p>To make a specialized test (use one of the

|
|
|
|
<tt>llvm-test/TEST.<type>.Makefile</tt>s), just run:<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>gmake TEST=<type> test</tt><br/>For example, you could run the
|
2004-03-01 18:21:04 +00:00
|
|
|
nightly tester tests using the following commands:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
2004-09-05 20:07:26 +00:00
|
|
|
% cd llvm/projects/llvm-test
|
2004-03-01 18:21:04 +00:00
|
|
|
% gmake TEST=nightly test
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Regardless of which test you're running, the results are printed on standard
|
|
|
|
|
output and standard error. You can redirect these results to a file if you
|
|
|
|
|
choose.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Some tests are known to fail. Some are bugs that we have not fixed yet;
|
2004-12-08 17:35:31 +00:00
|
|
|
others are features that we haven't added yet (or may never add). In DejaGNU,
|
2004-03-01 18:21:04 +00:00
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-05-13 19:48:07 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>The tests in <tt>llvm-test</tt> have no such feature at this time. If the
|
2004-10-08 00:41:27 +00:00
|
|
|
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>
