So the test runner displays the name of the test, then waits for it to finish,
then displays the result. It worked this way before things were parallelized
and it's just much friendlier this way.
Ideally we would just spawn every test and collect the results but I'm not
entirely comfortable doing that yet for reasons that I'm too tired to remember
right now. Urgh.
In theory. There's still something leaking but I hope it's no longer due to
the test runner doing unsafe things.
This is a pretty nasty patch, working around limitations in the type and task
systems, and it makes the std::test API a little uglier.
This replaces the make-based test runner with a set of Rust-based test
runners. I believe that all existing functionality has been
preserved. The primary objective is to dogfood the Rust test
framework.
A few main things happen here:
1) The run-pass/lib-* tests are all moved into src/test/stdtest. This
is a standalone test crate intended for all standard library tests. It
compiles to build/test/stdtest.stageN.
2) rustc now compiles into yet another build artifact, this one a test
runner that runs any tests contained directly in the rustc crate. This
allows much more fine-grained unit testing of the compiler. It
compiles to build/test/rustctest.stageN.
3) There is a new custom test runner crate at src/test/compiletest
that reproduces all the functionality for running the compile-fail,
run-fail, run-pass and bench tests while integrating with Rust's test
framework. It compiles to build/test/compiletest.stageN.
4) The build rules have been completely changed to use the new test
runners, while also being less redundant, following the example of the
recent stageN.mk rewrite.
It adds two new features to the cfail/rfail/rpass/bench tests:
1) Tests can specify multiple 'error-pattern' directives which must be
satisfied in order.
2) Tests can specify a 'compile-flags' directive which will make the
test runner provide additional command line arguments to rustc.
There are some downsides, the primary being that Rust has to be
functioning pretty well just to run _any_ tests, which I imagine will
be the source of some frustration when the entire test suite
breaks. Will also cause some headaches during porting.
Not having individual make rules, each rpass, etc test no longer
remembers between runs whether it completed successfully. As a result,
it's not possible to incrementally fix multiple tests by just running
'make check', fixing a test, and repeating without re-running all the
tests contained in the test runner. Instead you can filter just the
tests you want to run by using the TESTNAME environment variable.
This also dispenses with the ability to run stage0 tests, but they
tended to be broken more often than not anyway.
This is just until unwinding works. Adds a flag to the runtime to turn
the memory leak checks on task destruction into warnings instead of fatal
errors. I am so sorry.
Issue #428
Each test is run in its own task so that the failure can be trapped and the
test runner can continue. The easiest way to get the test functions into tasks
currently is by treating them as unsafe pointers.
