[LLVMdev] LNT: failing to parse compiler info: what am I doing wrong?

Hi, I'm trying to use LNT to run the test-suite. I followed the
instructions on <http://lnt.llvm.org/quickstart.html>. When I run it I
get this error:

I took a look at the code and basically it's doing some nasty ad-hoc
regex parsing to try to figure out the compiler version and when the
regex doesn't match, the re library returns None, which it later dies
on. I'm no stranger to Python and would be happy to hack around this,
but I find it strange that a vanilla Clang is causing this to barf,
since presumably clang is the most heavily used; and there's even code
in there for pulling out versions from GCC and ICC!

Am I doing something wrong? It certainly feels like I'm doing
something wrong. If not I'll hack around it and send in a patch.

I'd be glad to provide clang output (e.g. -v) if it would help to
understand the problem; just let me know what you want, since I'm not
sure exactly what would be most helpful.

Another thing: aren't those calls to `error()` in compilers.py
supposed to abort the processing immediately? I mean, it does a None
check, calls `error()` and prints an error message, and then barfs
executing code that assumes that the match object is not None. The
C/C++ equivalent would be:

if (p == NULL)
  error("p is NULL"); // Just prints, doesn't longjmp or throw an
exception or anything.
do_something(p->foo);

And it doesn't match probably because of one of two things (& I forget
which of the two, if either, have been addressed/workaround):

1) using cmake instead of configure/make
2) using git instead of svn

One or both of these create versions that lnt doesn't understand
(because they don't include the SVN revision number in the clang
version info) - if I recall correctly.

Yes, LNT could probably be improved not to completely fall over on
this, and/or the different build systems/vcs could be improved to play
more nicely by providing better version info.

Yup, that sounds like the problem. I'm using CMake AND git :)

I'll see if I can patch it up. For reference, can you give me an
example of the output that it is expecting (e.g clang -v)? I can kind
of make it out from the regexes that it is matching, but it would be
nice to see a "-v" output that works. It looks like it also is reading
'-###' output, but it's kind of spewy and I don't think
that's the
problem.

This is what clang -v gives for me:

clang version 3.2
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix

It looks like it wants the version line to be something like the form

clang version (r123456) 3.2

or something like that.
