<br>
If a test has output of the following form:<br>
<br>
START<br>
VALUE X1<br>
VALUE X2<br>
[...]<br>
VALUE X_N<br>
END<br>
<br>
where the order of X_1..X_N is not deterministic, is it possible to<br>
write FileCheck checks that verify that the "VALUE" lines occur in any<br>
order, with only one occurrence per line, and no other "VALUE" lines in<br>
between?<br>
<br>
One idea that was suggested to me was to write checks of the following<br>
form:<br>
<br>
CHECK: START<br>
CHECK-NOT: VALUE<br>
CHECK-DAG: VALUE X1<br>
CHECK-DAG: VALUE X2<br>
[...]<br>
CHECK-DAG: VALUE X_N<br>
CHECK-NOT: VALUE<br>
CHECK: END<br>
<br>
However, that for example matches on:<br>
<br>
START<br>
VALUE X1<br>
VALUE X1<br>
VALUE Foo<br>
VALUE X3<br>
VALUE X1<br>
VALUE X2<br>
END<br>
<br>
I have looked through the FileCheck documentation, but haven't found<br>
anything that describes a similar case.<br>
<br>
Are these sorts of checks achievable with FileCheck?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
David<br>
