|
|
|
*lit* is a portable tool for executing LLVM and Clang style test suites,
|
|
summarizing their results, and providing indication of failures. *lit* is
|
|
designed to be a lightweight testing tool with as simple a user interface as
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Portable!
|
|
* Flexible test discovery.

Documentation
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The official *lit* documentation is in the man page, available online at the LLVM
|
|
Command Guide: http://llvm.org/cmds/lit.html.
|
|

|
Source
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
The *lit* source is available as part of LLVM, in the LLVM source repository:
|
|
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/main/llvm/utils/lit
|

|
Contributing to lit
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Please browse the issues labeled *tools:llvm-lit* in LLVM's issue tracker for
|
|
ideas on what to work on:
|
|
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/labels/tools%3Allvm-lit
|
|
|
|
Before submitting patches, run the test suite to ensure nothing has regressed::
|
|
|
|
# From within your LLVM source directory.
|
|
utils/lit/lit.py \
|
|
--path /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin \
|
|
utils/lit/tests
|
|
|
|
Note that lit's tests depend on ``not`` and ``FileCheck``, LLVM utilities.
|
|
You will need to have built LLVM tools in order to run lit's test suite
|
|
successfully.
|
|
|
|
You'll also want to confirm that lit continues to work when testing LLVM.
|
|
Follow the instructions in http://llvm.org/docs/TestingGuide.html to run the
|
|
regression test suite:
|
|
|
|
make check-llvm
|
|
|
|
And be sure to run the llvm-lit wrapper script as well:
|
|
|
|
/path/to/your/llvm/build/bin/llvm-lit utils/lit/tests
|
|
|
|
Finally, make sure lit works when installed via setuptools:
|
|
|
|
python utils/lit/setup.py install
|
|
lit --path /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin utils/lit/tests
|
