- Rename requires_th to req_th for consistency with other req functions
  (e.g. req_interp, req_profiling etc.)

- req_th (previously requires_th) now checks for interpreter (via
  req_interp). With this running TH tests are skipped when running the
  test suite with stage=1.

- Test tweaks:
    - T9360a, T9360b: Use req_interp
    - recomp009, T13938, RAE_T32a: Use req_th

- Fix check-makefiles linter: it now looks for Makefiles instead of .T
  files (which are actually Python files)

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
