GHC Testsuite Readme

For the full testsuite documentation, please see here.

Quick Guide

Commands to run testsuite:

  • Full testsuite: hadrian/build test
  • Using more threads: hadrian/build test -j12
  • Reduced (fast) testsuite: hadrian/build test --test-speed=fast
  • Run a specific test: hadrian/build test --only="tc055 tc054"
  • Test a specific 'way': hadrian/build test --test-way=optllvm
  • Skip performance tests: hadrian/build test --skip-perf
  • Set verbosity: hadrian/build test --test-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

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
