Fangrui Song bcea3a7a28 Add test utility 'split-file'
See https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-July/143373.html
"[llvm-dev] Multiple documents in one test file" for some discussions.

This patch has explored several alternatives. The current semantics are similar to
what @dblaikie proposed.
`split-file filename output` splits the input file into multiple parts separated by
regex `^(.|//)--- filename` and write each part to the file `output/filename`
(`filename` can include path separators).

Use case A (organizing input of different formats (e.g. linker
script+assembly) in one file).

```
# RUN: split-file %s %t
# RUN: llvm-mc %t/asm -o %t.o
# RUN: ld.lld -T %t/lds %t.o -o %t
This is sometimes better than the %S/Inputs/ approach because the user
can see the auxiliary files immediately and don't have to open another file.

# asm
...
# lds
...
```

Use case B (for utilities which don't have built-in input splitting
feature):

```
// RUN: split-file %s %t
// RUN: llc < %t/1.ll | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CASE1
// RUN: llc < %t/2.ll | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CASE2
Combing tests prudently can improve readability.
For example, when testing parsing errors if the recovery mechanism isn't possible,
grouping the tests in one file can more readily see test coverage/strategy.

//--- 1.ll
...
//--- 2.ll
...
```

Since this is a new utility, there is no git history concerns for
UpperCase variable names. I use lowerCase variable names like mlir/lld.

Fangrui Song d054c7ee2e Add test utility 'extract'
See https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-July/143373.html
"[llvm-dev] Multiple documents in one test file" for some discussions.

`extract part filename` splits the input file into multiple parts separated by
regex `^(.|//)--- ` and extract the specified part to stdout or the
output file (if specified).

Use case A (organizing input of different formats (e.g. linker
script+assembly) in one file).

```
// RUN: extract lds %s -o %t.lds
// RUN: extract asm %s -o %t.s
// RUN: llvm-mc %t.s -o %t.o
// RUN: ld.lld -T %t.lds %t.o -o %t
This is sometimes better than the %S/Inputs/ approach because the user
can see the auxiliary files immediately and don't have to open another file.
```

Use case B (for utilities which don't have built-in input splitting
feature):

```
// RUN: extract case1 %s | llc | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CASE1
// RUN: extract case2 %s | llc | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CASE2
Combing tests prudently can improve readability.
This is sometimes better than having multiple test files.
```

UpperCase variable names. I use lowerCase variable names like mlir/lld.

Joel E. Denny f471eb8e99 [FileCheck] Make FILECHECK_OPTS useful for its test suite
Without this patch, `FILECHECK_OPTS` isn't propagated to FileCheck's
test suite so that `FILECHECK_OPTS` doesn't inadvertently affect test
results by affecting the output of FileCheck calls under test.  As a
result, `FILECHECK_OPTS` is useless for debugging FileCheck's test
suite.

In `llvm/test/FileCheck/lit.local.cfg`, this patch provides a new
subsitution, `%ProtectFileCheckOutput`, to address this problem for
both `FILECHECK_OPTS` and the deprecated
`FILECHECK_DUMP_INPUT_ON_FAILURE`.  The rest of the patch uses
`%ProtectFileCheckOutput` throughout the test suite

Fixes PR40284.

Summary:
This updates all places in documentation that refer to "Mac OS X", "OS X", etc.
to instead use the modern name "macOS" when no specific version number is
mentioned.

If a specific version is mentioned, this attempts to use the OS name at the time
of that version:

* Mac OS X for 10.0 - 10.7
* OS X for 10.8 - 10.11
* macOS for 10.12 - present

to instead point to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.

This is *not* a trivial substitution, because additionally, all the
checkout instructions had to be migrated to instruct users on how to
use the monorepo layout, setting LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS instead of
checking out various projects into various subdirectories.

I've attempted to not change any scripts here, only documentation. The
scripts will have to be addressed separately.

Additionally, I've deleted one document which appeared to be outdated

Matthias Braun 4f340e975e Revamp test-suite documentation
- Remove duplication: Both TestingGuide and TestSuiteMakefileGuide
  would give a similar overview over the test-suite.
- Present cmake/lit as the default/normal way of running the test-suite:
- Move information about the cmake/lit testsuite into the new
  TestSuiteGuide.rst file. Mark the remaining information in
  TestSuiteMakefilesGuide.rst as deprecated.
- General simplification and shorting of language.
- Remove paragraphs about tests known to fail as everything should pass
  nowadays.
- Remove paragraph about zlib requirement; it's not required anymore
  since we copied a zlib source snapshot into the test-suite.
- Remove paragraph about comparison with "native compiler". Correctness is
  always checked against reference outputs nowadays.
- Change cmake/lit quickstart section to recommend `pip` for installing
  lit and use `CMAKE_C_COMPILER` and a cache file in the example as that
  is what most people will end up doing anyway. Also a section about
  compare.py to quickstart.
- Document `Bitcode` and `MicroBenchmarks` directories.
- Add section with commonly used cmake configuration options.
- Add section about showing and comparing result files via compare.py.
- Add section about using external benchmark suites.
- Add section about using custom benchmark suites.
- Add section about profile guided optimization.
- Add section about cross-compilation and running on external devices.

Greg Parker ed0a95cbec [lit] Allow boolean expressions in REQUIRES and XFAIL and UNSUPPORTED
A `lit` condition line is now a comma-separated list of boolean expressions. 
Comma-separated expressions act as if each expression were on its own 
condition line:
For REQUIRES, if every expression is true then the test will run. 
For UNSUPPORTED, if every expression is false then the test will run. 
For XFAIL, if every expression is false then the test is expected to succeed. 
As a special case "XFAIL: *" expects the test to fail.

Examples:
# Test is expected fail on 64-bit Apple simulators and pass everywhere else
XFAIL: x86_64 && apple && !macosx
# Test is unsupported on Windows and on non-Ubuntu Linux 
# and supported everywhere else
UNSUPPORTED: linux && !ubuntu, system-windows

Syntax: 
* '&&', '||', '!', '(', ')'. 'true' is true. 'false' is false.
* Each test feature is a true identifier. 
* Substrings of the target triple are true identifiers for UNSUPPORTED 
 and XFAIL, but not for REQUIRES. (This matches the current behavior.)
* All other identifiers are false.
* Identifiers are [-+=._a-zA-Z0-9]+

Requiring python 2.6 will make supporting 3.X easier as we can use the 3.X

just 2.6, we may as well just require 2.7.
