[lldb-dev] Test status (Linux) and run expectation question

[Randy Smith]

Two questions:
* What is the expectation as to which tests will be run before submission
of patches?
* What is the current status for the Linux tests?  Is anyone already
looking at bringing the test coverage to parity with Darwin?

I'm seeing a lot of "UNSUPPORTED" tests when I run on Linux and that makes
me wonder how much test coverage I'm actually getting if I run those tests
before submitting patches (though of the 616 UNSUPPORTED tests on Linux,
all but 186 seem to involve dsym, which is probably ok to be unsupported on
Linux).  So I'm wondering about what the expectations are for test runs
before patch submission, and how easily I can meet those expectations if my
primary work environment is Linux.

The context is that I'm trying to learn enough about lldb to make real
contributions, and I'm doing that by first trying to use it and make it
work well as my primary debugger in my usual work environment (Linux
targeting chromium).

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment ...
