+ 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
+ we've standardized it for the LLVM regression tests. It 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
+ 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
+ found. This concatenated set or RUN lines then constitutes one execution.
+ 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>
+
+ <p> Below is an example of legal RUN lines in a <tt>.ll</tt> file:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
-; RUN: llvm-as < %s | llvm-dis > %t1
-; RUN: llvm-dis < %s.bc-13 > %t2

+; 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>
-
-<dl style="margin-left: 25px">
-<dt>%p</dt>
-<dd>The path to the source directory. This is for locating
-any supporting files that are not generated by the test, but used by
-the test.</dd>
-<dt>%s</dt>
-<dd>The test file.</dd>
-
-<dt>%t</dt>
-<dd>Temporary filename: testscript.test_filename.tmp, where
-test_filename is the name of the test file. All temporary files are
-placed in the Output directory within the directory the test is
-located.</dd>
-

-<dd>Path to a script that performs grep -C. Use this since not all
-platforms support grep -C.</dd>
-
-<dt>%llvmgcc</dt> <dd>Full path to the llvm-gcc executable.</dd>
-<dt>%llvmgxx</dt> <dd>Full path to the llvm-g++ executable.</dd>
-</dl>
+</div>
+
+ <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>
+
+ <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>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+... | grep 'find this string'
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <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>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+... | grep {find this string}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <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>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+... | grep bb[2-8]
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <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>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+... | grep {bb\[2-8\]}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <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:
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+<pre>
+... | grep 'i32\*'
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <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>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 or with a specific version of llvmgcc 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 or llvmgcc version for the
-machine. You can use * to match all targets. You can specify the major or full
- version (i.e. 3.4) for llvmgcc. Here is an example of an
-<tt>XFAIL</tt> line:</p>
+<div class="doc_code">

+ <dl>
+ <dt><b>ignore</b></dt>

+ </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>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
<pre>

+
+ <p>To make the output more useful, the <tt>llvm_runtest</tt> function wil

+ PR[0-9]+. This is the syntax for specifying a PR (Problem Report) number that
+ is related to the test case. The numer after "PR" specifies the LLVM bugzilla
+ 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
