+ test/Regression/Archive
+ =======================
+ 
+ This directory contains various tests of llvm-ar and llvm-ranlib to ensure 
+ compatibility reading other ar(1) formats. It also provides a basic
+ functionality test for these tools.
+ 
+ There are four archives stored in CVS with these tests: 
+ 
+ GNU.a    - constructed on Linux with GNU ar
+ MacOSX.a - constructed on Mac OS X with its native BSD4.4 ar
+ SVR4.a   - constructed on Solaris with /usr/ccs/bin/ar
+ xpg4.a   - constructed on Solaris with /usr/xpg4/bin/ar
+ 
+ Each type of test is run on each of these archive files.  These archives each 
+ contain four members:
+ 
+ oddlen - a member with an odd lengthed name and content
+ evenlen - a member with an even lengthed name and content
+ IsNAN.o - a Linux native binary
+ very_long_bytecode_file_name.bc - LLVM bytecode file with really long name
+ 
+ These files test different aspects of the archiver that should cause failures
+ in llvm-ar if regressions are introduced.
