|

<para>
|
||
|
Within a directory that includes test files, there may be
|
||
|
additional subdirectories, or files. Originally, test cases
|
||
|
were appended to one file that represented a particular section
|
||
|
of the chapter under test, and was named accordingly. For
|
||
|
instance, to test items related to <code> 21.3.6.1 -
|
||
|
basic_string::find [lib.string::find]</code> in the standard,
|
||
|
the following was used:
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
21_strings/find.cc
|
||
|
</programlisting>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
However, that practice soon became a liability as the test cases
|
||
|
became huge and unwieldy, and testing new or extended
|
||
|
functionality (like wide characters or named locales) became
|
||
|
frustrating, leading to aggressive pruning of test cases on some
|
||
|
platforms that covered up implementation errors. Now, the test
|
||
|
suite has a policy of one file, one test case, which solves the
|
||
|
above issues and gives finer grained results and more manageable
|
||
|
error debugging. As an example, the test case quoted above
|
||
|
becomes:
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<programlisting>
|

21_strings/basic_string/find/char/1.cc

</programlisting>

All new tests should be written with the policy of one test

case, one file in mind.

There are several options for running tests, including testing
|
||
|
the regression tests, testing a subset of the regression tests,
|
||
|
testing the performance tests, testing just compilation, testing
|
||
|
installed tools, etc. In addition, there is a special rule for
|
||
|
checking the exported symbols of the shared library.

To run a subset of the library tests, you will need to generate
|
||
|
the <emphasis>testsuite_files</emphasis> file by running
|
||
|
<command>make testsuite_files</command> in the
|
||
|
<emphasis>libbuilddir/testsuite</emphasis> directory, described
|
||
|
below. Edit the file to remove the tests you don't want and
|
||
|
then run the testsuite as normal.

There are two ways to run on a simulator: set up DEJAGNU to point to a
|
||
|
specially crafted site.exp, or pass down --target_board flags.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<para>
|

Example flags to pass down for various embedded builds are as follows:
|

</para>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
--target=powerpc-eabism (libgloss/sim)

make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=powerpc-sim"
|
||
|
|

--target=calmrisc32 (libgloss/sid)
|
||
|
make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=calmrisc32-sid"
|
||
|
|

--target=xscale-elf (newlib/sim)
|

</programlisting>

<para>
|

Also, here is an example of how to run the libstdc++ testsuite
|
||
|
for a multilibed build directory with different ABI settings:
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board \"unix{-mabi=32,,-mabi=64}\"'
|
||
|
</programlisting>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
You can run the tests with a compiler and library that have
|
||
|
already been installed. Make sure that the compiler (e.g.,
|
||
|
<code>g++</code>) is in your <code>PATH</code>. If you are
|
||
|
using shared libraries, then you must also ensure that the
|
||
|
directory containing the shared version of libstdc++ is in your
|
||
|
<code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>, or equivalent. If your GCC source
|
||
|
tree is at <code>/path/to/gcc</code>, then you can run the tests
|
||
|
as follows:
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
runtest --tool libstdc++ --srcdir=/path/to/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite
|
||
|
</programlisting>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
The testsuite will create a number of files in the directory in
|
||
|
which you run this command,. Some of those files might use the
|
||
|
same name as files created by other testsuites (like the ones
|
||
|
for GCC and G++), so you should not try to run all the
|
||
|
testsuites in parallel from the same directory.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
In addition, there are some testing options that are mostly of
|
||
|
interest to library maintainers and system integrators. As such,
|
||
|
these tests may not work on all cpu and host combinations, and
|
||
|
may need to be executed in the
|
||
|
<emphasis>libbuilddir/testsuite</emphasis> directory. These
|
||
|
options include, but are not necessarily limited to, the
|
||
|
following:

collects information for performance analysis and can be used to

used. This is not run by default, and the implementation is in

To run the libstdc++ test suite under the <link linkend="manual.ext.debug_mode">debug mode</link>, edit
|
||
|
<filename>libstdc++-v3/scripts/testsuite_flags</filename> to add the
|
||
|
compile-time flag <constant>-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG</constant> to the
|
||
|
result printed by the <literal>--build-cxx</literal>
|
||
|
option. Additionally, add the
|
||
|
<constant>-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC</constant> flag to turn on
|
||
|
pedantic checking. The libstdc++ test suite should produce
|
||
|
precisely the same results under debug mode that it does under
|
||
|
release mode: any deviation indicates an error in either the

library or the test suite.

A bunch of utility functions and classes have already been
|
||
|
abstracted out into the testsuite utility library, <code>
|
||
|
libtestc++</code>. To use this functionality, just include the
|
||

appropriate header file: the library or specific object files will
|
||
|
automatically be linked in as part of the testsuite run.

For a test that needs to take advantage of the dejagnu test
|
||
|
harness, what follows below is a list of special keyword that
|
||
|
harness uses. Basically, a test case contains dg-keywords (see
|
||
|
dg.exp) indicating what to do and what kinds of behavior are to be
|
||
|
expected. New test cases should be written with the new style
|
||
|
DejaGnu framework in mind.

</para>

To ease transition, here is the list of dg-keyword documentation

# "{ target selector }" is a list of expressions that determine whether the
|
||
|
# test succeeds or fails for a particular target, or in some cases whether the
|
||
|
# option applies for a particular target. If the case of `dg-do' it specifies
|
||
|
# whether the test case is even attempted on the specified target.
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# The target selector is always optional. The format is one of:
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# { xfail *-*-* ... } - the test is expected to fail for the given targets
|
||
|
# { target *-*-* ... } - the option only applies to the given targets
|

|
#
|
||
|
# At least one target must be specified, use *-*-* for "all targets".
|
||
|
# At present it is not possible to specify both `xfail' and `target'.
|
||
|
# "native" may be used in place of "*-*-*".

Example 1: Testing compilation only
|
||
|
// { dg-do compile }
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example 2: Testing for expected warnings on line 36, which all targets fail
|
||
|
// { dg-warning "string literals" "" { xfail *-*-* } 36 }
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example 3: Testing for expected warnings on line 36
|
||
|
// { dg-warning "string literals" "" { target *-*-* } 36 }
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example 4: Testing for compilation errors on line 41
|
||
|
// { dg-do compile }
|
||
|
// { dg-error "no match for" "" { target *-*-* } 41 }
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example 5: Testing with special command line settings, or without the
|
||
|
use of pre-compiled headers, in particular the stdc++.h.gch file. Any
|
||
|
options here will override the DEFAULT_CXXFLAGS and PCH_CXXFLAGS set
|
||
|
up in the normal.exp file.

|
// { dg-options "-O0" { target *-*-* } }

functionality that is intended to make writing test cases easier,

Testing is composed of running a particular test sequence,
|
||
|
and looking at what happens to the surrounding code when
|
||
|
exceptions are thrown. Each test is composed of measuring
|
||
|
initial state, executing a particular sequence of code under
|
||
|
some instrumented conditions, measuring a final state, and
|
||
|
then examining the differences between the two states.

Test sequences are composed of constructed code sequences
|

that exercise a particular function or member function, and
|

either confirm no exceptions were generated, or confirm the

consistency/coherency of the test subject in the event of a

|
thrown exception.

<para> To compute the code paths that throw, test instruments

|
through a given test sequence and conditionally throwing in
|
||
|
all instrumented places. Then, when the test sequence
|

completes without an exception being thrown, assume all

potential error paths have been exercised in a sequential

manner.

Coverage is currently limited to testing container

requirements for exception safety,

although <classname>__gnu_cxx::throw_type</classname> meets

the additional type requirements for testing numeric data

structures and instantiating algorithms.

then to parallel algorithms. Also io and locales.

Basic consistency on exception propagation tests. For
|
||
|
each container, an object of that container is constructed,
|
||
|
a specific member function is exercised in
|
||
|
a <literal>try</literal> block, and then any thrown
|
||
|
exceptions lead to error checking in the appropriate
|
||
|
<literal>catch</literal> block. The container's use of
|
||
|
resources is compared to the container's use prior to the
|
||
|
test block. Resource monitoring is limited to allocations
|
||
|
made through the container's <type>allocator_type</type>,
|
||
|
which should be sufficient for container data
|
||
|
structures. Included in these tests are member functions
|
||
|
are <type>iterator</type> and <type>const_iterator</type>
|
||
|
operations, <function>pop_front</function>, <function>pop_back</function>, <function>push_front</function>, <function>push_back</function>, <function>insert</function>, <function>erase</function>, <function>swap</function>, <function>clear</function>,
|
||
|
and <function>rehash</function>. The container in question is
|
||
|
instantiated with two instrumented template arguments,
|
||
|
with <classname>__gnu_cxx::throw_allocator_limit</classname>
|
||
|
as the allocator type, and
|
||
|
with <classname>__gnu_cxx::throw_type_limit</classname> as
|
||
|
the value type. This allows the test to loop through
|
||
|
conditional throw points.

Container rollback on exception propagation tests. For

each container, an object of that container is constructed,

a specific member function that requires rollback to a previous

known good state is exercised in

a <literal>try</literal> block, and then any thrown

the container's last known good state using such parameters
