GHC Testsuite Readme ==================== For the full testsuite documentation, please see [here][1]. ## Quick Guide Commands to run testsuite: * Full testsuite: `make` * Using more threads: `make THREADS=12` * Reduced (fast) testsuite: `make fast` * Run a specific test: `make TEST=tc054` * Test a specific 'way': `make WAY=optllvm` * Keeping the run directory after test run: `make CLEANUP=0`. You will find a directory `{test_name}.run` in the test's source directory. * Test a specifc stage of GHC: `make stage=1` * Skip performance tests: `make SKIP_PERF_TESTS=YES` * Set verbosity: `make VERBOSE=n` where n=0: No per-test output, n=1: Only failures, n=2: Progress output, n=3: Include commands called (default), n=4: Include perf test results unconditionally, n=5: Echo commands in subsidiary make invocations * Pass in extra GHC options: `make EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-fvectorize` You can also change directory to a specific test folder to run that individual test or group of tests. For example: ``` .sh $ cd tests/array $ make ``` ## Testsuite Ways The testsuite can be run in a variety of 'ways'. This concept refers to different ways that GHC can compile the code. For example, using the native code generator (`-fasm`) is one way, while using the LLVM code generator (`-fllvm`) is another way. The various ways that GHC supports are defined in `config/ghc` ## Adding Tests Please see the more extensive documentation [here][1]. [1]: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/RunningTests
