<a name="index-Installing-GCC_003a-Testing"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-Testsuite"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before you install GCC, we encourage you to run the testsuites and to
|
|
compare your results with results from a similar configuration that have
|
|
been submitted to the
|
|
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/">gcc-testresults mailing list</a>.
|
|
Some of these archived results are linked from the build status lists
|
|
at <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html">https://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html</a>, although not everyone who
|
|
reports a successful build runs the testsuites and submits the results.
|
|
This step is optional and may require you to download additional software,
|
|
but it can give you confidence in your new GCC installation or point out
|
|
problems before you install and start using your new GCC.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>First, you must have <a href="download.html">downloaded the testsuites</a>.
|
|
These are part of the full distribution, but if you downloaded the
|
|
“core” compiler plus any front ends, you must download the testsuites
|
|
separately.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Second, you must have the testing tools installed. This includes
|
|
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/">DejaGnu</a>, Tcl, and Expect;
|
|
the DejaGnu site has links to these.
|
|
Some optional tests also require Python3 and pytest module.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If the directories where <code>runtest</code> and <code>expect</code> were
|
|
installed are not in the <code>PATH</code>, you may need to set the following
|
|
environment variables appropriately, as in the following example (which
|
|
assumes that DejaGnu has been installed under <samp>/usr/local</samp>):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">TCL_LIBRARY = /usr/local/share/tcl8.0
|
|
DEJAGNULIBS = /usr/local/share/dejagnu
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>(On systems such as Cygwin, these paths are required to be actual
|
|
paths, not mounts or links; presumably this is due to some lack of
|
|
portability in the DejaGnu code.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time):
|
|
</p><div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">cd <var>objdir</var>; make -k check
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This will test various components of GCC, such as compiler
|
|
front ends and runtime libraries. While running the testsuite, DejaGnu
|
|
might emit some harmless messages resembling
|
|
‘<samp>WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.</samp>’ or
|
|
‘<samp>WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file</samp>’ that can be ignored.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you are testing a cross-compiler, you may want to run the testsuite
|
|
on a simulator as described at <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html">https://gcc.gnu.org/simtest-howto.html</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="How-can-you-run-the-testsuite-on-selected-tests_003f"></a>
|
|
<h3 class="section">How can you run the testsuite on selected tests?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets
|
|
‘<samp>make check-gcc</samp>’ and language specific ‘<samp>make check-c</samp>’,
|
|
‘<samp>make check-c++</samp>’, ‘<samp>make check-d</samp>’ ‘<samp>make check-fortran</samp>’,
|
|
‘<samp>make check-ada</samp>’, ‘<samp>make check-objc</samp>’, ‘<samp>make check-obj-c++</samp>’,
|
|
‘<samp>make check-lto</samp>’
|
|
in the <samp>gcc</samp> subdirectory of the object directory. You can also
|
|
just run ‘<samp>make check</samp>’ in a subdirectory of the object directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A more selective way to just run all <code>gcc</code> execute tests in the
|
|
testsuite is to use
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp <var>other-options</var>"
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Likewise, in order to run only the <code>g++</code> “old-deja” tests in
|
|
the testsuite with filenames matching ‘<samp>9805*</samp>’, you would use
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* <var>other-options</var>"
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The file-matching expression following <var>filename</var><code>.exp=</code> is treated
|
|
as a series of whitespace-delimited glob expressions so that multiple patterns
|
|
may be passed, although any whitespace must either be escaped or surrounded by
|
|
single quotes if multiple expressions are desired. For example,
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805*\ virtual2.c <var>other-options</var>"
|
|
make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="'old-deja.exp=9805* virtual2.c' <var>other-options</var>"
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <samp>*.exp</samp> files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC
|
|
source, the most important ones being <samp>compile.exp</samp>,
|
|
<samp>execute.exp</samp>, <samp>dg.exp</samp> and <samp>old-deja.exp</samp>.
|
|
To get a list of the possible <samp>*.exp</samp> files, pipe the
|
|
output of ‘<samp>make check</samp>’ into a file and look at the
|
|
‘<samp>Running … .exp</samp>’ lines.
|
|
</p>

<a name="Passing-options-and-running-multiple-testsuites"></a>
|
|
<h3 class="section">Passing options and running multiple testsuites</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can pass multiple options to the testsuite using the
|
|
‘<samp>--target_board</samp>’ option of DejaGNU, either passed as part of
|
|
‘<samp>RUNTESTFLAGS</samp>’, or directly to <code>runtest</code> if you prefer to
|
|
work outside the makefiles. For example,
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix/-O3/-fmerge-constants"
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>will run the standard <code>g++</code> testsuites (“unix” is the target name
|
|
for a standard native testsuite situation), passing
|
|
‘<samp>-O3 -fmerge-constants</samp>’ to the compiler on every test, i.e.,
|
|
slashes separate options.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can run the testsuites multiple times using combinations of options
|
|
with a syntax similar to the brace expansion of popular shells:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">…"--target_board=arm-sim\{-mhard-float,-msoft-float\}\{-O1,-O2,-O3,\}"
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>(Note the empty option caused by the trailing comma in the final group.)
|
|
The following will run each testsuite eight times using the ‘<samp>arm-sim</samp>’
|
|
target, as if you had specified all possible combinations yourself:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">--target_board='arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O1 \
|
|
arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O2 \
|
|
arm-sim/-mhard-float/-O3 \
|
|
arm-sim/-mhard-float \
|
|
arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O1 \
|
|
arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O2 \
|
|
arm-sim/-msoft-float/-O3 \
|
|
arm-sim/-msoft-float'
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>They can be combined as many times as you wish, in arbitrary ways. This
|
|
list:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">…"--target_board=unix/-Wextra\{-O3,-fno-strength\}\{-fomit-frame,\}"
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>will generate four combinations, all involving ‘<samp>-Wextra</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The disadvantage to this method is that the testsuites are run in serial,
|
|
which is a waste on multiprocessor systems. For users with GNU Make and
|
|
a shell which performs brace expansion, you can run the testsuites in
|
|
parallel by having the shell perform the combinations and <code>make</code>
|
|
do the parallel runs. Instead of using ‘<samp>--target_board</samp>’, use a
|
|
special makefile target:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">make -j<var>N</var> check-<var>testsuite</var>//<var>test-target</var>/<var>option1</var>/<var>option2</var>/…
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example,
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">make -j3 check-gcc//sh-hms-sim/{-m1,-m2,-m3,-m3e,-m4}/{,-nofpu}
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>will run three concurrent “make-gcc” testsuites, eventually testing all
|
|
ten combinations as described above. Note that this is currently only
|
|
supported in the <samp>gcc</samp> subdirectory. (To see how this works, try
|
|
typing <code>echo</code> before the example given here.)
|
|

<a name="How-to-interpret-test-results"></a>
|
|
<h3 class="section">How to interpret test results</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The result of running the testsuite are various <samp>*.sum</samp> and <samp>*.log</samp>
|
|
files in the testsuite subdirectories. The <samp>*.log</samp> files contain a
|
|
detailed log of the compiler invocations and the corresponding
|
|
results, the <samp>*.sum</samp> files summarize the results. These summaries
|
|
contain status codes for all tests:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> PASS: the test passed as expected
|
|
</li><li> XPASS: the test unexpectedly passed
|
|
</li><li> FAIL: the test unexpectedly failed
|
|
</li><li> XFAIL: the test failed as expected
|
|
</li><li> UNSUPPORTED: the test is not supported on this platform
|
|
</li><li> ERROR: the testsuite detected an error
|
|
</li><li> WARNING: the testsuite detected a possible problem
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is normal for some tests to report unexpected failures. At the
|
|
current time the testing harness does not allow fine grained control
|
|
over whether or not a test is expected to fail. This problem should
|
|
be fixed in future releases.
|
|
</p>

|
<a name="Submitting-test-results"></a>
|
|
<h3 class="section">Submitting test results</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the
|
|
<samp>contrib/test_summary</samp> shell script. Start it in the <var>objdir</var> with
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"><var>srcdir</var>/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \
|
|
-m gcc-testresults@gcc.gnu.org |sh
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>This script uses the <code>Mail</code> program to send the results, so
|
|
make sure it is in your <code>PATH</code>. The file <samp>your_commentary.txt</samp> is
|
|
prepended to the testsuite summary and should contain any special
|
|
remarks you have on your results or your build environment. Please
|
|
do not edit the testsuite result block or the subject line, as these
|
|
messages may be automatically processed.
