asm and port the mmx vector shuffle test to it.
Not thrilled with how it handles the stack manipulation logic, but I'm
much less bothered by that than I am by updating the test manually. =]
If anyone wants to teach the test checks management script about stack
adjustment patterns, that'd be cool too.

This is done in a bit of a strange way to use a multiline RE instead of
looping over the lines. Suggestions welcome here for a more pythonic way
of doing this as long as its reasonably fast.

with 'stress' to indicate that the specific output isn't interesting and
relax them to only check the last instruction (a ret).
I've updated the one test case that really uses this to name the one
'stress_test' which was actually producing output we can directly check.
With this, the script doesn't introduce noise when run over the v16 test
file.

This script is currently specific to x86 and limited to use with very
small regression or feature tests using 'llc' and 'FileCheck' in
a reasonably canonical way. It is in no way general purpose or robust at
this point. However, it works quite well for simple examples. Here is
the intended workflow:
- Make a change that requires updating N test files and M functions'
assertions within those files.
- Stash the change.
- Update those N test files' RUN-lines to look "canonical"[1].
- Refresh the FileCheck lines for either the entire file or select
functions by running this script.
- The script will parse the RUN lines and run the 'llc' binary you
give it according to each line, collecting the asm.
- It will then annotate each function with the appropriate FileCheck
comments to check every instruction from the start of the first
basic block to the last return.
- There will be numerous cases where the script either fails to remove
the old lines, or inserts checks which need to be manually editted,
but the manual edits tend to be deletions or replacements of
registers with FileCheck variables which are fast manual edits.
- A common pattern is to have the script insert complete checking of
every instruction, and then edit it down to only check the relevant
ones.
- Be careful to do all of these cleanups though! The script is
designed to make transferring and formatting the asm output of llc
into a test case fast, it is *not* designed to be authoratitive
about what constitutes a good test!
- Commit the nice fresh baseline of checks.
- Unstash your change and rebuild llc.
- Re-run script to regenerate the FileCheck annotations
- Remember to re-cleanup these annotations!!!
- Check the diff to make sure this is sane, checking the things you
expected it to, and check that the newly updated tests actually pass.
- Profit!
Also, I'm *terrible* at writing Python, and frankly I didn't spend a lot
of time making this script beautiful or well engineered. But it's useful
to me and may be useful to others so I thought I'd send it out.
