<p>The LLVM testing infrastructure contains two major categories of tests:
|
|
|
|
|
regression tests and whole programs. The regression tests are contained inside
|
|
|
|
|
the LLVM repository itself under <tt>llvm/test</tt> and are expected to always
|
|
|
|
|
pass -- they should be run before every commit. The whole programs tests are
|
|
|
|
|
referred to as the "LLVM test suite" and are in the <tt>test-suite</tt> module
|
|
|
|
|
in subversion.

<p>The regression tests 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 (and the appropriate <tt>--with-llvmgcc</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
options were used at <tt>configure</tt> time of the <tt>llvm</tt> module). These
|
|
|
|
|
tests are driven by the 'lit' testing tool, which is part of LLVM.</p>

|

|
2009-06-26 05:44:53 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>These code fragments are not complete programs. The code generated
|
|
|
|
|
from them is never executed to determine correct behavior.</p>
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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 test suite contains whole programs, which are pieces of
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
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>

2008-06-24 12:58:31 +00:00

<p>The tests are located in two separate Subversion modules. The regressions

tests are in the main "llvm" module under the directory

The more comprehensive test suite that includes whole

be checked out to the <tt>llvm/projects</tt> directory (don't use another name
|
2010-11-03 08:16:50 +00:00

than the default "test-suite", for then the test suite will be run every time
|
2008-06-24 12:58:31 +00:00
|
|

you run <tt>make</tt> in the main <tt>llvm</tt> directory).

2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00

the <tt>test-suite</tt> directory will be automatically configured.

|
|
<p>The regression test 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>lit.site.cfg</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
in <tt>llvm/test</tt>. The <tt>llvm/test</tt> Makefile does this work for
|
|
|
|
|
you.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In order for the regression tests to work, each directory of tests must
|
|
|
|
|
have a <tt>dg.exp</tt> file. Lit 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 we've standardized it for the LLVM regression tests. If you're adding a
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
directory of tests, just copy <tt>dg.exp</tt> from another directory to get
|
2010-08-02 01:20:23 +00:00
|
|
|
running. The standard <tt>dg.exp</tt> simply loads a Tcl 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
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-03 17:30:25 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>lit performs substitution on each RUN line to replace LLVM tool
|
|
|
|
|
names with the full paths to the executable built for each tool (in
|
|
|
|
|
$(LLVM_OBJ_ROOT)/$(BuildMode)/bin). This ensures that lit does not
|
|
|
|
|
invoke any stray LLVM tools in the user's path during testing.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
<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>

|
|
|
|
2007-04-14 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
|
|
|

<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
|
2010-08-02 01:20:23 +00:00
|
|
|
quote characters 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'

</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
|
|
|
|

<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>

<p>A powerful feature of the RUN: lines is that it allows any arbitrary commands
|
|
|
|
|
to be executed as part of the test harness. While standard (portable) unix
|
|
|
|
|
tools like 'grep' work fine on run lines, as you see above, there are a lot
|
2009-08-15 16:51:06 +00:00
|
|
|
of caveats due to interaction with Tcl syntax, and we want to make sure the
|
2009-08-15 15:40:48 +00:00
|
|
|
run lines are portable to a wide range of systems. Another major problem is
|
|
|
|
|
that grep is not very good at checking to verify that the output of a tools
|
|
|
|
|
contains a series of different output in a specific order. The FileCheck
|
|
|
|
|
tool was designed to help with these problems.</p>

2009-08-15 16:51:06 +00:00

|
|
<p>FileCheck (whose basic command line arguments are described in <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://llvm.org/cmds/FileCheck.html">the FileCheck man page</a> is
|
|
|
|
|
designed to read a file to check from standard input, and the set of things
|
|
|
|
|
to verify from a file specified as a command line argument. A simple example
|
|
|
|
|
of using FileCheck from a RUN line looks like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
; RUN: llvm-as < %s | llc -march=x86-64 | <b>FileCheck %s</b>
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This syntax says to pipe the current file ("%s") into llvm-as, pipe that into
|
|
|
|
|
llc, then pipe the output of llc into FileCheck. This means that FileCheck will
|
|
|
|
|
be verifying its standard input (the llc output) against the filename argument
|
|
|
|
|
specified (the original .ll file specified by "%s"). To see how this works,
|
|
|
|
|
lets look at the rest of the .ll file (after the RUN line):</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
define void @sub1(i32* %p, i32 %v) {
|
|
|
|
|
entry:
|
|
|
|
|
; <b>CHECK: sub1:</b>
|
|
|
|
|
; <b>CHECK: subl</b>
|
|
|
|
|
%0 = tail call i32 @llvm.atomic.load.sub.i32.p0i32(i32* %p, i32 %v)
|
|
|
|
|
ret void
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
define void @inc4(i64* %p) {
|
|
|
|
|
entry:
|
|
|
|
|
; <b>CHECK: inc4:</b>
|
|
|
|
|
; <b>CHECK: incq</b>
|
|
|
|
|
%0 = tail call i64 @llvm.atomic.load.add.i64.p0i64(i64* %p, i64 1)
|
|
|
|
|
ret void
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Here you can see some "CHECK:" lines specified in comments. Now you can see
|
|
|
|
|
how the file is piped into llvm-as, then llc, and the machine code output is
|
|
|
|
|
what we are verifying. FileCheck checks the machine code output to verify that
|
|
|
|
|
it matches what the "CHECK:" lines specify.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The syntax of the CHECK: lines is very simple: they are fixed strings that
|
|
|
|
|
must occur in order. FileCheck defaults to ignoring horizontal whitespace
|
|
|
|
|
differences (e.g. a space is allowed to match a tab) but otherwise, the contents
|
|
|
|
|
of the CHECK: line is required to match some thing in the test file exactly.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>One nice thing about FileCheck (compared to grep) is that it allows merging
|
|
|
|
|
test cases together into logical groups. For example, because the test above
|
|
|
|
|
is checking for the "sub1:" and "inc4:" labels, it will not match unless there
|
|
|
|
|
is a "subl" in between those labels. If it existed somewhere else in the file,
|
|
|
|
|
that would not count: "grep subl" matches if subl exists anywhere in the
|
|
|
|
|
file.</p>

<p>The CHECK: and CHECK-NOT: directives both take a pattern to match. For most
|
|
|
|
|
uses of FileCheck, fixed string matching is perfectly sufficient. For some
|
|
|
|
|
things, a more flexible form of matching is desired. To support this, FileCheck
|
|
|
|
|
allows you to specify regular expressions in matching strings, surrounded by
|
|
|
|
|
double braces: <b>{{yourregex}}</b>. Because we want to use fixed string
|
|
|
|
|
matching for a majority of what we do, FileCheck has been designed to support
|
|
|
|
|
mixing and matching fixed string matching with regular expressions. This allows
|
|
|
|
|
you to write things like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
; CHECK: movhpd <b>{{[0-9]+}}</b>(%esp), <b>{{%xmm[0-7]}}</b>
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In this case, any offset from the ESP register will be allowed, and any xmm
|
|
|
|
|
register will be allowed.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Because regular expressions are enclosed with double braces, they are
|
|
|
|
|
visually distinct, and you don't need to use escape characters within the double
|
|
|
|
|
braces like you would in C. In the rare case that you want to match double
|
|
|
|
|
braces explicitly from the input, you can use something ugly like
|
|
|
|
|
<b>{{[{][{]}}</b> as your pattern.</p>

<p>It is often useful to match a pattern and then verify that it occurs again
|
|
|
|
|
later in the file. For codegen tests, this can be useful to allow any register,
|
|
|
|
|
but verify that that register is used consistently later. To do this, FileCheck
|
|
|
|
|
allows named variables to be defined and substituted into patterns. Here is a
|
|
|
|
|
simple example:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
; CHECK: test5:
|
2009-09-27 08:01:44 +00:00
|
|
|
; CHECK: notw <b>[[REGISTER:%[a-z]+]]</b>
|
|
|
|
|
; CHECK: andw {{.*}}<b>[[REGISTER]]</b>
|
2009-09-27 07:56:52 +00:00
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-09-27 08:01:44 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>The first check line matches a regex (<tt>%[a-z]+</tt>) and captures it into
|
|
|
|
|
the variables "REGISTER". The second line verifies that whatever is in REGISTER
|
|
|
|
|
occurs later in the file after an "andw". FileCheck variable references are
|
|
|
|
|
always contained in <tt>[[ ]]</tt> pairs, are named, and their names can be
|
|
|
|
|
formed with the regex "<tt>[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*</tt>". If a colon follows the
|
|
|
|
|
name, then it is a definition of the variable, if not, it is a use.</p>
|
2009-09-27 07:56:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>FileCheck variables can be defined multiple times, and uses always get the
|
|
|
|
|
latest value. Note that variables are all read at the start of a "CHECK" line
|
|
|
|
|
and are all defined at the end. This means that if you have something like
|
|
|
|
|
"<tt>CHECK: [[XYZ:.*]]x[[XYZ]]</tt>" that the check line will read the previous
|
|
|
|
|
value of the XYZ variable and define a new one after the match is performed. If
|
|
|
|
|
you need to do something like this you can probably take advantage of the fact
|
|
|
|
|
that FileCheck is not actually line-oriented when it matches, this allows you to
|
|
|
|
|
define two separate CHECK lines that match on the same line.

"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>

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>

|
|
|
<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>

<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>

<p>Sometimes it is necessary to mark a test case as "expected fail" or XFAIL.
|
2010-02-23 07:56:28 +00:00
|
|
|
You can easily mark a test as XFAIL just by including <tt>XFAIL: </tt> on a
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
line near the top of the file. This signals that the test case should succeed
|
2010-08-02 01:20:23 +00:00
|
|
|
if the test fails. Such test cases are counted separately by the testing tool. To
|
2007-04-14 21:46:15 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2010-02-23 07:56:28 +00:00
|
|
|
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 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>. Here is an example of an <tt>XFAIL</tt> line:</p>

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>

2010-09-23 20:26:44 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>In addition for testing correctness, the <tt>test-suite</tt> directory also
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
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>test-suite</tt> tests are divided into three types of tests: MultiSource,
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
SingleSource, and External.</p>
|
2004-12-08 16:52:51 +00:00

|

<li><tt>test-suite/SingleSource</tt>
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
<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>test-suite/External</tt>
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
<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>
|
2009-05-21 20:23:59 +00:00
|
|
|
directory does not contain these actual tests, but only the Makefiles that know
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
how to properly compile these programs from somewhere else. The presence and
|
2010-09-23 20:26:44 +00:00
|
|
|
location of these external programs is configured by the test-suite
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
<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;
|
2010-08-02 01:20:23 +00:00
|
|
|
others are features that we haven't added yet (or may never add). In the
|
|
|
|
|
regression tests, 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>
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-06-24 12:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>The tests in the test suite have no such feature at this time. If the
|
2008-05-23 11:45:18 +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>

<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

|
<p>Assuming you can run the test suite, (e.g. "<tt>gmake TEST=nightly report</tt>"
|
2006-05-23 01:40:20 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2010-09-23 20:26:44 +00:00
|
|
|
formats them for easy viewing. This consists of two files, a
|
2008-06-24 12:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
"<tt>test-suite/TEST.XXX.Makefile</tt>" fragment (where XXX is the name of your
|
2010-09-23 20:26:44 +00:00
|
|
|
test) and a "<tt>test-suite/TEST.XXX.report</tt>" file that indicates how to
|
2006-05-23 01:40:20 +00:00
|
|
|
format the output into a table. There are many example reports of various
|
2008-06-24 12:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
levels of sophistication included with the test suite, and the framework is very
|
2006-05-23 01:40:20 +00:00
|
|
|
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>
|
2008-06-24 12:58:31 +00:00
|
|
|
% cd llvm/projects/test-suite/MultiSource/Benchmarks # or some other level
|
2006-05-23 01:40:20 +00:00
|
|
|
% make TEST=libcalls report
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This will do a bunch of stuff, then eventually print a table like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_code">
|

<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 test-suite/TEST.libcalls.*. The format is pretty
|
2006-05-23 01:40:20 +00:00
|
|
|
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>
