Copy 1-element arrays as scalars, not vectors For `[T; 1]` it's silly to copy as `<1 x T>` when we can just copy as `T`. Inspired by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/101210#issuecomment-1732470941, which pointed out that `Option<[u8; 1]>` was codegenning worse than `Option<u8>`. (I'm not sure *why* LLVM doesn't optimize out `<1 x u8>`, but might as well just not emit it in the first place in this codepath.) --- I think I bit off too much in #116479; let me try just the scalar case first. r? `@ghost`
The files here use the LLVM FileCheck framework, documented at https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/FileCheck.html.
One extension worth noting is the use of revisions as custom prefixes for FileCheck. If your codegen test has different behavior based on the chosen target or different compiler flags that you want to exercise, you can use a revisions annotation, like so:
// revisions: aaa bbb
// [bbb] compile-flags: --flags-for-bbb
After specifying those variations, you can write different expected, or
explicitly unexpected output by using <prefix>-SAME:
and <prefix>-NOT:
,
like so:
// CHECK: expected code
// aaa-SAME: emitted-only-for-aaa
// aaa-NOT: emitted-only-for-bbb
// bbb-NOT: emitted-only-for-aaa
// bbb-SAME: emitted-only-for-bbb
