I will probably not be able to upstream these changes (as they are only interesting to me), and that’s the source of some inconvenience. I’d be happy to be mistaken here, but that how I understand the current infrastructure, and that where my question came from.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Michael</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 7, 2016, at 10:13 AM, Eric Christopher <<a href="mailto:echristo@gmail.com" class="">echristo@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hi Michael,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You'll want to look into the externals part of the test suite :) It's how things like SPEC etc are run.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-eric</div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="">On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 4:08 PM Michael Zolotukhin via llvm-dev <<a href="mailto:llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org" class="">llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br class="gmail_msg">

Hi Renato and others,<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
Is it possible/how hard will it be to make the testsuite kind of extendable? Like, I copy a folder with some tests that comply to some rules (e.g. have CMakeLists.txt, lit.local.cfg, etc.) and run them via the standard infrastructure without changing anything in test-suite files?<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
The motivation of this question is the following: we (and probably many other companies too) have internal tests that we can’t share, but still want to track. Currently, the process of adding them to the existing test-suite is not clear to me (or at least not very well documented), and while I can figure it out, it would be cool if we can streamline this process.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
Ideally, I’d like to see this process like this:<br class="gmail_msg">
1) Add following files to your benchmark suite:<br class="gmail_msg">
1.a) CMakeLists.txt having this and that target doing this and that.<br class="gmail_msg">
1.b) lit.local.cfg script having this and that.<br class="gmail_msg">
…<br class="gmail_msg">
2) Make sure the test report results in the following format/provide a wrapper script to convert results to the specified form. /* TODO: Results format is specified here */<br class="gmail_msg">
3) Run your tests using the standard LNT command, like "lnt runtest … --only-test=External/MyTestSuite/TestA”<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
If that’s already implemented, then I’ll be glad to help with documentation, and if not, I can try implementing it. What do you think?<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
Thanks,<br class="gmail_msg">
