[flang-dev] Enabling flang/f18 tests on Windows by porting shell scripts to Python

[Michael Kruse via flang-dev]

Yes, using python would be great. Python is required anyway and even
on non-Windows systems bash cannot be assumed to be just present (e.g.
MacOS does not install it anymore by default and only installs a very
old version of Bash due to GPLv3 issues).

By comparison, Clang has a `-verify` option in the binary which would
be a possibility for Flang as well without needing to regex the
output.

The Windows buildbot (https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/172) set up by Michael Kruse currently builds flang but does not run the tests due to this reason. Porting these shell scripts to Python was suggested as a possible solution. We have an intern who is interested in taking up this task. I expect no change in functionality and the Python script will be a straightforward replacement of the shell script.
