front end to your debugger that imitates that) in order to run them. I think they would need to stay in a separate project because of those requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It's used, but not a huge repository of things, as you can see. I think I've run it once or twice, but a long time ago. It was introduced for/by Apple/LLDB stuff, so it's not something I've paid much attention to.<br>
<br>
It's probably not suitable as part of llvm tests directly. Those tests are designed to be shorter/narrower/more focussed than full integration tests (we don't execute any compiled programs under test there, for example).<br>
<br>
Porting to lit seems probably fine/good.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'd like improve this to support CodeView and PDB, such that it would only run on Windows and only if a suitable debugger was found (probably WinDbg). WinDbg supports a JavaScript-based scripting model, similar to how LLDB supports a Python
based model, so my thoughts were to have a lit-based runner that scans for .js files that contain a test script alongside some source, then build the program, run it in WinDbg with some script that does various things, and exits the debugger, moving on to
the next test.<o:p></o:p></p>
