To display the free variables for a single breakpoint, GHCi pulls out the
information from the fields `modBreaks_breakInfo` and `modBreaks_vars`
of the `ModBreaks` data structure. For a specific breakpoint this gives 2
lists of types 'Id` (`Var`) and `OccName`. They are used to create the Id's
for the free variables and must be kept in sync:
If we remove an element from the Names list, then we also must remove the
corresponding element from the OccNames list.

GHC Testsuite Readme

For the full testsuite documentation, please see here.

Quick Guide

Commands to run testsuite:

  • Full testsuite: make
  • Using more threads: make THREADS=12
  • Reduced (fast) testsuite: make fast
  • Run a specific test: make TEST=tc054
  • Test a specific 'way': make WAY=optllvm
  • Keeping the run directory after test run: make CLEANUP=0. You will find a directory {test_name}.run in the test's source directory.
  • Test a specifc stage of GHC: make stage=1
  • Skip performance tests: make SKIP_PERF_TESTS=YES
  • Set verbosity: make VERBOSE=n where n=0: No per-test output, n=1: Only failures, n=2: Progress output, n=3: Include commands called (default), n=4: Include perf test results unconditionally, n=5: Echo commands in subsidiary make invocations
  • Pass in extra GHC options: make EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-fvectorize

You can also change directory to a specific test folder to run that individual test or group of tests. For example:

$ cd tests/array
$ make

Testsuite Ways

The testsuite can be run in a variety of 'ways'. This concept refers to different ways that GHC can compile the code. For example, using the native code generator (-fasm) is one way, while using the LLVM code generator (-fllvm) is another way.

The various ways that GHC supports are defined in config/ghc
