<br>
When you are saying integrated assembler do you mean llc --filetype=obj? If so, we currently have that for an option when running the test-suite.<br>
<br>
When you say that to test the llvm-mc assembler for your target you don't substitute the gcc assembler invocation for llvm-mc which would expect the resultant executable run to pass. Instead you have to do another pass running llvm-mc on the preserved .s files<br>
<br>
Did I get this right?<br>
<br>
If so, I am way too lazy and greedy. I want to run the suite and with an option, substitute the llvm standalone assembler for the gcc one (not for the control compile of course).<br>

<div>Yes, absolutely. There's two pieces of this that are handy. First, checking the normal integrated-assembler code path. That doesn't check the actual assembler, but rather the binary encoder and object file emitter. To test that, I did runs with a locally
modified clang that enabled the integrated assembler by default for my target (ARM/Darwin at the time). The second piece is checking the assembler itself. For that, I ran the full test suite and kept the .s files around. Then I ran each .s file through plain
'as' and llvm-mc and did a binary comparison of the results. Anything that showed up, I analyzed to see if it was innocuous or an error.</div>

My assumption is that this would be a good way to test the llvm assembler.<br>
