Contributing to lit
=====================
Please read the TODO file in this directory for ideas on what to work on.
Before submitting patches, run the test suite to ensure nothing has regressed:
# From within your LLVM source directory.
utils/lit/lit.py \
--path /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin \
utils/lit/tests
Note that lit's tests depend on 'not' and 'FileCheck', LLVM utilities.
You will need to have built LLVM tools in order to run lit's test suite
successfully.
