[cfe-dev] Test specific to Windows host?

[Robinson, Paul]

The target is irrelevant.  Clang running on Windows was hanging if the output-file path name was too long; I have a patch to make it return an error instead.
But another host OS won't get an error for that case.  So, the test behavior will vary by host OS.  (Running Clang on Linux with a Windows target triple will not fail the same way because Linux has different path-length limits.)  I'd rather constrain it to run only on a Windows host.
Or, hm, I suppose I could write the test to expect success and XFAIL: windows, but that seems like a perversion of the intent of XFAIL.

-target?

Otherwise can you explain more of what you're trying to do?

the test won't behave the same way on Linux or whatever.
AFAICT the ways of expressing constraints are mostly target
based.  Is there a way to express "run only on Windows host"?
Thanks,
