[LLVMdev] [REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK] Inline asm multiple alternative constraints
Dale, Thanks for reviewing this. I have some newbie questions regarding the test-suite for you or anyone: I'm trying to run the test-suite as described in the "LLVM Testing Infrastructure Guide" on a Ubuntu x86 64 bit system. Initially I ran into problems with missing tools like yacc, which I fixed as I went along until the make at the test-suite level completed. However, I get a number of failed tests: john at john-ubuntu:~/llvm/projects/test-suite$ grep FAILED\! jttestlog.txt ******************** TEST (jit) 'tls' FAILED! ******************** ******************** TEST (llc) 'initp1' FAILED!

[LLVMdev] [REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK] Inline asm multiple alternative constraints
CBE is fairly broken everywhere AFAIK, don't worry about it. Most of the JIT failures are in tests that exercise exception handling. Not sure if that is supposed to work in your environment, it works in some JITs and not others. The LLC failures are cause for concern.

[LLVMdev] [REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK] Inline asm multiple alternative constraints
Dale, I took a closer look at the first llc failure, initp1. Looking at the initp1.llc file in gdb, it appears that the statically constructed objects without the init_priority attribute are being constructed before those with it, though the test seems to expect the opposite. The initp1.llc.s file seems to have the .ctors table in the right order, but the _init code is reading the table in reverse order. Since I guess the init code is coming from the local startup module, this must be a peculiarity of Linux x86, right? Is it different on other platforms? Anyway, it was a good exercise for to see how the tests are run, and and to dust off my gdb and Linux brain cells. Is there a prefered platform to run the test-suite on, where they all pass? Or is there a test output file I can compare against? Thanks. -John On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 11:10 AM, Dale Johannesen <dalej at apple.com> wrote:> CBE is fairly broken everywhere AFAIK, don't worry about it. > Most of the JIT failures are in tests that exercise exception handling. > Not sure if that is supposed to work in your environment, it works in some > JITs and not others. > The LLC failures are cause for concern. > > On Aug 30, 2010, at 10:59 AMPDT, John Thompson wrote: > > Dale, > > Thanks for reviewing this. > > I have some newbie questions regarding the test-suite for you or anyone: > > I'm trying to run the test-suite as described in the "LLVM Testing > Infrastructure Guide" on a Ubuntu x86 64 bit system.
