+<h4 class="subsection">7.2.1 Syntax and Descriptions of test directives</h4>
+
+<p>Test directives appear within comments in a test source file and begin
+with <code>dg-</code>. Some of these are defined within DejaGnu and others
+are local to the GCC testsuite.
+</p>
+<p>The order in which test directives appear in a test can be important:
+directives local to GCC sometimes override information used by the
+DejaGnu directives, which know nothing about the GCC directives, so the
+DejaGnu directives must precede GCC directives.
+</p>
+<p>Several test directives include selectors (see <a href="Selectors.html#Selectors">Selectors</a>)
+which are usually preceded by the keyword <code>target</code> or <code>xfail</code>.
+</p>
+<a name="Specify-how-to-build-the-test"></a>
+<h4 class="subsubsection">7.2.1.1 Specify how to build the test</h4>
+
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>{ dg-do <var>do-what-keyword</var> [{ target/xfail <var>selector</var> }] }</code></dt>
+<dd><p><var>do-what-keyword</var> specifies how the test is compiled and whether
+it is executed. It is one of:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>preprocess</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Compile with <samp>-E</samp> to run only the preprocessor.
+</p></dd>
+<dt><code>compile</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Compile with <samp>-S</samp> to produce an assembly code file.
+</p></dd>
+<dt><code>assemble</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Compile with <samp>-c</samp> to produce a relocatable object file.
+</p></dd>
+<dt><code>link</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Compile, assemble, and link to produce an executable file.
+</p></dd>
+<dt><code>run</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Produce and run an executable file, which is expected to return
+an exit code of 0.
+</p></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>The default is <code>compile</code>. That can be overridden for a set of
+tests by redefining <code>dg-do-what-default</code> within the <code>.exp</code>
+file for those tests.
+</p>
+<p>If the directive includes the optional &lsquo;<samp>{ target <var>selector</var> }</samp>&rsquo;
+then the test is skipped unless the target system matches the
+<var>selector</var>.
+</p>
+<p>If <var>do-what-keyword</var> is <code>run</code> and the directive includes
+the optional &lsquo;<samp>{ xfail <var>selector</var> }</samp>&rsquo; and the selector is met
+then the test is expected to fail. The <code>xfail</code> clause is ignored
+for other values of <var>do-what-keyword</var>; those tests can use
+directive <code>dg-xfail-if</code>.
+</p></dd>

+the test
+

+<dd><p>Arguments <var>include-opts</var> and <var>exclude-opts</var> are lists in which
+each element is a string of zero or more GCC options.
+Skip the test if all of the following conditions are met:
+</p><ul>
+<li> the test system is included in <var>selector</var>
+
+</li><li> for at least one of the option strings in <var>include-opts</var>,
+every option from that string is in the set of options with which

+not specified
+
+</li><li> for each of the option strings in <var>exclude-opts</var>, at least one
+option from that string is not in the set of options with which the test
+would be compiled; use &lsquo;<samp>&quot;&quot;</samp>&rsquo; for an empty <var>exclude-opts</var> list;
+that is the default if <var>exclude-opts</var> is not specified
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>For example, to skip a test if option <code>-Os</code> is present:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">/* { dg-skip-if &quot;&quot; { *-*-* } { &quot;-Os&quot; } { &quot;&quot; } } */
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>To skip a test if both options <code>-O2</code> and <code>-g</code> are present:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">/* { dg-skip-if &quot;&quot; { *-*-* } { &quot;-O2 -g&quot; } { &quot;&quot; } } */
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>To skip a test if either <code>-O2</code> or <code>-O3</code> is present:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">/* { dg-skip-if &quot;&quot; { *-*-* } { &quot;-O2&quot; &quot;-O3&quot; } { &quot;&quot; } } */

+<pre class="smallexample">/* { dg-skip-if &quot;&quot; { *-*-* } { &quot;*&quot; } { &quot;-Os&quot; } } */
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>To skip a test if either <code>-O2</code> or <code>-O3</code> is used with <code>-g</code>
+but not if <code>-fpic</code> is also present:
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">/* { dg-skip-if &quot;&quot; { *-*-* } { &quot;-O2 -g&quot; &quot;-O3 -g&quot; } { &quot;-fpic&quot; } } */

+<dt><code>{ dg-require-effective-target <var>keyword</var> [{ target <var>selector</var> }] }</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Skip the test if the test target, including current multilib flags,
+is not covered by the effective-target keyword.
+If the directive includes the optional &lsquo;<samp>{ <var>selector</var> }</samp>&rsquo;
+then the effective-target test is only performed if the target system
+matches the <var>selector</var>.
+This directive must appear after any <code>dg-do</code> directive in the test
+and before any <code>dg-additional-sources</code> directive.

+specific procedure does not examine the argument.
