<br class="">
</span>I've included a few other devs (CCed) to get further opinions.<br class="">
<br class="">
I like the idea of being able to diagnose the issues covered by the<br class="">
test suite, but I don't think including the test suite by itself is<br class="">
particularly useful without that goal in mind. Also, one question I<br class="">
would have has to do with the licensing of the tests themselves and<br class="">
whether we would need to do anything special there.<br class="">

<br class="">
</span>Getting the discussion going about the desired goal (as you are doing)<br class="">
is the right first step.<br class="">

<br class="">
</span>Agreed, any test cases that are failing would have to fail gracefully.<br class="">
I assume that by failure, you mean "should diagnose in some way, but<br class="">
currently does not". I would probably split the tests into two types:<br class="">
one set of tests that properly diagnose the issue (can be checked with<br class="">
FileCheck or -verify, depending on the kind of tests we're talking<br class="">
about), and one set of tests where we do not diagnose, but want to see<br class="">
them someday (which can be tested with expect-no-diagnostics, for<br class="">
example). This way, we can ensure test cases continue to diagnose when<br class="">
we want them to, and we can be alerted when new diagnostics start to<br class="">
catch previously uncaught tests. This is assuming that it makes sense<br class="">
to include all of the tests at once, which may not make sense in<br class="">
practice.<br class="">

<br class="">
</span>Oh look, you asked the same question I asked. ;-) If the tests are in<br class="">
the public domain and clearly state as such, I think we can go ahead<br class="">
and include them. If the other tests are not clearly licensed, we<br class="">
should try to get NIST to clarify the license of them before<br class="">
inclusion. Depending on the license, we may be able to include them<br class="">
under their original license. If we cannot clarify the license, I<br class="">
would guess that we simply should not include those tests as part of<br class="">
our test suite. Note: I could be totally wrong, IANAL. :-)<br class="">

</span>Adding the tests by themselves is not necessarily interesting to the<br class="">
project unless they exercise the compiler in ways it's not currently<br class="">
being exercised. So just having tests for the sake of having the tests<br class="">
is not too useful (IMO). However, if the goal is to have the tests<br class="">
because you would like to make efforts to have the compiler diagnose<br class="">
their cases properly, that's far more interesting and a good reason to<br class="">
bring in the tests.<br class="">
<br class="">
One possible approach if you are interested in having the compiler<br class="">
diagnose the cases is to bring the tests in one at a time. Start with<br class="">
the initial batch of "these are diagnosed properly", then move on to<br class="">
"this test is diagnosed properly because of this patch." Eventually<br class="">
we'll get to the stage where all of the tests are diagnosed properly.<br class="">

<br class="">
Another good place for some of these checkers may be clang-tidy, or<br class="">
the compiler frontend itself. It's likely to depend on case-by-case<br class="">
code patterns.<br class="">
