Hello all, we are trying to convert some of the lldb tests to lit (for these specific tests we are using the googletest format). One of our requirements is that we are able to run these tests remotely, so that we are able to verify that we can debug e.g. android arm binaries even though our development environment runs x86 linux).
As far as I am aware, right now there is no support for that in lit: running check-lldb-unit target in a cross-compile situation will attempt to run the run the test binaries as if they were native and fail horribly. Based on a not-too-detailed examination of the lit codebase, it does not seem that it would be too difficult to add this capability: During test discovery phase, we could copy the required files to the remote host. Then, when we run the test, we could just prefix the run command similarly to how it is done for running the tests under valgrind. It would be up to the user to provide a suitable command for copying and running files on the remote host (using rsync, ssh, telnet or any other transport he chooses). What do you think? Would something like that be a welcome addition to the llvm testing infrastructure? Has anyone tried to do something like that and hit major road blocks I did not anticipate? Or, if you have any suggestions on how to run tests in cross-compile setting differently, I'd love to hear about them. regards, pavel _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
