Maybe this already exists and I just don't know about it, but I find it tedious to repeat the same regex throughout a test and across multiple tests. Case in point something like [[REG0:%[a-z0-9]+]], [[REG1:%[a-z0-9]+]], etc. when matching larger patterns.
So I've wished that FileCheck regex had something predefined for situations like that, like a normal regex has \w, or had a config file somewhere to allow defining new ones.<br>

I'm looking for some feedback on pain points people have with FileCheck in terms of missing features to help people interested in working on FileCheck to prioritize the work accordingly. I am personally interested in improving FileCheck on 2 issues whenever
time permits it:<br>

<ul>
<li>being able to test for consecutive lines in arbitrary order, i.e. something akin to CHECK-DAG blocks where all lines matched are consecutive</li><li>DAG regions to be able to look for sequences of code that can be interleaved, which would be useful to check for register dependencies accross several operands, e.g. allowing all valid interleaving of instructions in the following sequence:<br>
<br>
load rA, [rT]<br>
load rB, [rX]<br>
load rC, [rY]<br>
load rD, [rZ]<br>
mul rF, rA, rB<br>
mul rG, rC, rD<br>
add rH, rF, rG</li></ul>

<blockquote style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I would therefore like to be able to define two sequences each composed of 2 loads in any order (thus using the solution for the first issue) followed by a mul that can be interleaved between each other which are followed by an add.</div>

Do people have any other wishlist item? I propose to compile a list of all suggestions and do a poll to get an idea of what features seems to be the most wanted. This can then be used by whoever is interested in contributed to FileCheck to maximize the impact
of their contribution, myself included.</div>
