[llvm-dev] Separate test harness for LLVM test-suite

Dear community,

LLVM test-suite includes both default applications (benchmarks, tests) and test
harness (CMake modules, lit-support, some scripts, etc.). Test suite provides
extension interface to add "external" tests suite and folders. This
worked well, we enhanced basic harness and integrated large set of internal
benchmarks and applications.

However, we have users interested in LLVM test harness to build, profile, test
applications and experiment with tools/compilers without using applications from
full LLVM test-suite (~2,5 Gb).

Are there reasons why separation of test-suite into 1) basic test-harness and 2)
applications is undesirable or impossible?

We will be glad to hear opinions of community.

Best regards,
Elena Lepilkina,
