It supports testing interoperability of +two compilers that follow the same ABI, or of multiple sets of +compiler options that should not affect binary compatibility. It is +intended to be used for testsuites that complement ABI testsuites. +</p> +<p>A test supported by this framework has three parts, each in a +separate source file: a main program and two pieces that interact +with each other to split up the functionality being tested. +</p> +<dl compact="compact"> +<dt><samp><var>testname</var>_main.<var>suffix</var></samp></dt> +<dd><p>Contains the main program, which calls a function in file +<samp><var>testname</var>_x.<var>suffix</var></samp>. +</p> +</dd> +<dt><samp><var>testname</var>_x.<var>suffix</var></samp></dt> +<dd><p>Contains at least one call to a function in +<samp><var>testname</var>_y.<var>suffix</var></samp>. +</p> +</dd> +<dt><samp><var>testname</var>_y.<var>suffix</var></samp></dt> +<dd><p>Shares data with, or gets arguments from, +<samp><var>testname</var>_x.<var>suffix</var></samp>. +</p></dd> +</dl> + +<p>Within each test, the main program and one functional piece are +compiled by the GCC under test. The other piece can be compiled by +an alternate compiler. If no alternate compiler is specified, +then all three source files are all compiled by the GCC under test. +You can specify pairs of sets of compiler options. The first element +of such a pair specifies options used with the GCC under test, and the +second element of the pair specifies options used with the alternate +compiler. Each test is compiled with each pair of options. +</p> +<p><samp>compat.exp</samp> defines default pairs of compiler options. +These can be overridden by defining the environment variable +<code>COMPAT_OPTIONS</code> as: +</p> +<div class="smallexample"> +<pre class="smallexample">COMPAT_OPTIONS="[list [list {<var>tst1</var>} {<var>alt1</var>}] + …[list {<var>tstn</var>} {<var>altn</var>}]]" +</pre></div> + +<p>where <var>tsti</var> and <var>alti</var> are lists of options, with <var>tsti</var> +used by the compiler under test and <var>alti</var> used by the alternate +compiler. For example, with +<code>[list [list {-g -O0} {-O3}] [list {-fpic} {-fPIC -O2}]]</code>, +the test is first built with <samp>-g -O0</samp> by the compiler under +test and with <samp>-O3</samp> by the alternate compiler. The test is +built a second time using <samp>-fpic</samp> by the compiler under test +and <samp>-fPIC -O2</samp> by the alternate compiler. +</p> +<p>An alternate compiler is specified by defining an environment +variable to be the full pathname of an installed compiler; for C +define <code>ALT_CC_UNDER_TEST</code>, and for C++ define +<code>ALT_CXX_UNDER_TEST</code>. These will be written to the +<samp>site.exp</samp> file used by DejaGnu. The default is to build each +test with the compiler under test using the first of each pair of +compiler options from <code>COMPAT_OPTIONS</code>. When +<code>ALT_CC_UNDER_TEST</code> or +<code>ALT_CXX_UNDER_TEST</code> is <code>same</code>, each test is built using +the compiler under test but with combinations of the options from +<code>COMPAT_OPTIONS</code>. +</p> +<p>To run only the C++ compatibility suite using the compiler under test +and another version of GCC using specific compiler options, do the +following from <samp><var>objdir</var>/gcc</samp>: +</p> +<div class="smallexample"> +<pre class="smallexample">rm site.exp +make -k \ + ALT_CXX_UNDER_TEST=${alt_prefix}/bin/g++ \ + COMPAT_OPTIONS="<var>lists as shown above</var>" \ + check-c++ \ + RUNTESTFLAGS="compat.exp" +</pre></div> + +<p>A test that fails when the source files are compiled with different +compilers, but passes when the files are compiled with the same +compiler, demonstrates incompatibility of the generated code or +runtime support.
