The libstdc++ testsuite includes testing for standard conformance,
regressions, ABI, and performance.
</p><div class="section" title="Organization"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="test.organization"/>Organization</h3></div></div></div><div class="section" title="Directory Layout"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="test.organization.layout"/>Directory Layout</h4></div></div></div><p>
  The directory <span class="emphasis"><em>libsrcdir/testsuite</em></span> contains the
  individual test cases organized in sub-directories corresponding to
  chapters of the C++ standard (detailed below), the dejagnu test
  harness support files, and sources to various testsuite utilities
  that are packaged in a separate testing library.
</p><p>
  All test cases for functionality required by the runtime components
  of the C++ standard (ISO 14882) are files within the following
  directories.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
17_intro
18_support
19_diagnostics
20_util
21_strings
22_locale
23_containers
25_algorithms
26_numerics
27_io
28_regex
29_atomics
30_threads
   </pre><p>
      In addition, the following directories include test files:
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
tr1               Tests for components as described by the Technical Report on Standard Library Extensions (TR1).
backward          Tests for backwards compatibility and deprecated features.
demangle          Tests for __cxa_demangle, the IA 64 C++ ABI demangler
ext               Tests for extensions.
performance       Tests for performance analysis, and performance regressions.
   </pre><p>
      Some directories don't have test files, but instead contain
      auxiliary information:
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
config            Files for the dejagnu test harness.
lib               Files for the dejagnu test harness.
libstdc++*        Files for the dejagnu test harness.
data              Sample text files for testing input and output.
util              Files for libtestc++, utilities and testing routines.
   </pre><p>
      Within a directory that includes test files, there may be
      additional subdirectories, or files.  Originally, test cases
      were appended to one file that represented a particular section
      of the chapter under test, and was named accordingly. For
      instance, to test items related to <code class="code"> 21.3.6.1 -
      basic_string::find [lib.string::find]</code> in the standard,
      the following was used:
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
21_strings/find.cc
   </pre><p>
      However, that practice soon became a liability as the test cases
      became huge and unwieldy, and testing new or extended
      functionality (like wide characters or named locales) became
      frustrating, leading to aggressive pruning of test cases on some
      platforms that covered up implementation errors. Now, the test
      suite has a policy of one file, one test case, which solves the
      above issues and gives finer grained results and more manageable
      error debugging. As an example, the test case quoted above
      becomes:
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
21_strings/basic_string/find/char/1.cc
21_strings/basic_string/find/char/2.cc
21_strings/basic_string/find/char/3.cc
21_strings/basic_string/find/wchar_t/1.cc
21_strings/basic_string/find/wchar_t/2.cc
21_strings/basic_string/find/wchar_t/3.cc
   </pre><p>
      All new tests should be written with the policy of one test
      case, one file in mind.
   </p></div><div class="section" title="Naming Conventions"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="test.organization.naming"/>Naming Conventions</h4></div></div></div><p>
      In addition, there are some special names and suffixes that are
      used within the testsuite to designate particular kinds of
      tests.
   </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>
   <span class="emphasis"><em>_xin.cc</em></span>
  </p><p>
      This test case expects some kind of interactive input in order
      to finish or pass. At the moment, the interactive tests are not
      run by default. Instead, they are run by hand, like:
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
g++ 27_io/objects/char/3_xin.cc
cat 27_io/objects/char/3_xin.in | a.out
     </pre></li><li class="listitem"><p>
     <span class="emphasis"><em>.in</em></span>
   </p><p>
      This file contains the expected input for the corresponding <span class="emphasis"><em>
      _xin.cc</em></span> test case.
   </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
   <span class="emphasis"><em>_neg.cc</em></span>
  </p><p>
      This test case is expected to fail: it's a negative test. At the
      moment, these are almost always compile time errors.
   </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
   <span class="emphasis"><em>char</em></span>
  </p><p>
      This can either be a directory name or part of a longer file
      name, and indicates that this file, or the files within this
      directory are testing the <code class="code">char</code> instantiation of a
      template.
   </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
   <span class="emphasis"><em>wchar_t</em></span>
  </p><p>
      This can either be a directory name or part of a longer file
      name, and indicates that this file, or the files within this
      directory are testing the <code class="code">wchar_t</code> instantiation of
      a template. Some hosts do not support <code class="code">wchar_t</code>
      functionality, so for these targets, all of these tests will not
      be run.
   </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
   <span class="emphasis"><em>thread</em></span>
  </p><p>
      This can either be a directory name or part of a longer file
      name, and indicates that this file, or the files within this
      directory are testing situations where multiple threads are
      being used.
   </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
   <span class="emphasis"><em>performance</em></span>
  </p><p>
      This can either be an enclosing directory name or part of a
      specific file name. This indicates a test that is used to
      analyze runtime performance, for performance regression testing,
      or for other optimization related analysis. At the moment, these
      test cases are not run by default.
   </p></li></ul></div></div></div><div class="section" title="Running the Testsuite"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="test.run"/>Running the Testsuite</h3></div></div></div><div class="section" title="Basic"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="test.run.basic"/>Basic</h4></div></div></div><p>
      You can check the status of the build without installing it
      using the dejagnu harness, much like the rest of the gcc
      tools.</p><pre class="programlisting"> make check</pre><p>in the <span class="emphasis"><em>libbuilddir</em></span> directory.</p><p>or</p><pre class="programlisting"> make check-target-libstdc++-v3</pre><p>in the <span class="emphasis"><em>gccbuilddir</em></span> directory.
     </p><p>
       These commands are functionally equivalent and will create a
       'testsuite' directory underneath
       <span class="emphasis"><em>libbuilddir</em></span> containing the results of the
       tests. Two results files will be generated: <span class="emphasis"><em>
       libstdc++.sum</em></span>, which is a PASS/FAIL summary for each
       test, and <span class="emphasis"><em>libstdc++.log</em></span> which is a log of
       the exact command line passed to the compiler, the compiler
       output, and the executable output (if any).
     </p><p>
       Archives of test results for various versions and platforms are
       available on the GCC website in the <a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/buildstat.html">build
       status</a> section of each individual release, and are also
       archived on a daily basis on the <a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/current">gcc-testresults</a>
       mailing list. Please check either of these places for a similar
       combination of source version, operating system, and host CPU.
     </p></div><div class="section" title="Variations"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="test.run.variations"/>Variations</h4></div></div></div><p>
      There are several options for running tests, including testing
      the regression tests, testing a subset of the regression tests,
      testing the performance tests, testing just compilation, testing
      installed tools, etc. In addition, there is a special rule for
      checking the exported symbols of the shared library.
    </p><p>
      To debug the dejagnu test harness during runs, try invoking with a
      specific argument to the variable RUNTESTFLAGS, as below.
    </p><pre class="programlisting">
make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS="-v"
</pre><p>
      or
    </p><pre class="programlisting">
make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS="-v -v"
</pre><p>
      To run a subset of the library tests, you will need to generate
      the <span class="emphasis"><em>testsuite_files</em></span> file by running
      <span class="command"><strong>make testsuite_files</strong></span> in the
      <span class="emphasis"><em>libbuilddir/testsuite</em></span> directory, described
      below.  Edit the file to remove the tests you don't want and
      then run the testsuite as normal.
    </p><p>
      There are two ways to run on a simulator: set up DEJAGNU to point to a
      specially crafted site.exp, or pass down --target_board flags.
    </p><p>
    Example flags to pass down for various embedded builds are as follows:
    </p><pre class="programlisting">
      --target=powerpc-eabism (libgloss/sim)
make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=powerpc-sim"
 
--target=calmrisc32 (libgloss/sid)
make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=calmrisc32-sid"
 
--target=xscale-elf (newlib/sim)
make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=arm-sim"
</pre><p>
      Also, here is an example of how to run the libstdc++ testsuite
      for a multilibed build directory with different ABI settings:
    </p><pre class="programlisting">
make check-target-libstdc++-v3 RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board \"unix{-mabi=32,,-mabi=64}\"'
</pre><p>
      You can run the tests with a compiler and library that have
      already been installed.  Make sure that the compiler (e.g.,
      <code class="code">g++</code>) is in your <code class="code">PATH</code>.  If you are
      using shared libraries, then you must also ensure that the
      directory containing the shared version of libstdc++ is in your
      <code class="code">LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>, or equivalent.  If your GCC source
      tree is at <code class="code">/path/to/gcc</code>, then you can run the tests
      as follows:
    </p><pre class="programlisting">
runtest --tool libstdc++ --srcdir=/path/to/gcc/libstdc++-v3/testsuite
</pre><p>
      The testsuite will create a number of files in the directory in
      which you run this command,.  Some of those files might use the
      same name as files created by other testsuites (like the ones
      for GCC and G++), so you should not try to run all the
      testsuites in parallel from the same directory.
    </p><p>
      In addition, there are some testing options that are mostly of
      interest to library maintainers and system integrators. As such,
      these tests may not work on all cpu and host combinations, and
      may need to be executed in the
      <span class="emphasis"><em>libbuilddir/testsuite</em></span> directory.  These
      options include, but are not necessarily limited to, the
      following:
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
   make testsuite_files
   </pre><p>
    Five files are generated that determine what test files
    are run. These files are:
  </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>
         <span class="emphasis"><em>testsuite_files</em></span>
       </p><p>
         This is a list of all the test cases that will be run. Each
         test case is on a separate line, given with an absolute path
         from the <span class="emphasis"><em>libsrcdir/testsuite</em></span> directory.
       </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
         <span class="emphasis"><em>testsuite_files_interactive</em></span>
       </p><p>
         This is a list of all the interactive test cases, using the
         same format as the file list above. These tests are not run
         by default.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
         <span class="emphasis"><em>testsuite_files_performance</em></span>
       </p><p>
         This is a list of all the performance test cases, using the
         same format as the file list above. These tests are not run
         by default.
     </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
         <span class="emphasis"><em>testsuite_thread</em></span>
       </p><p>
         This file indicates that the host system can run tests which
         involved multiple threads.
       </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
         <span class="emphasis"><em>testsuite_wchar_t</em></span>
       </p><p>
         This file indicates that the host system can run the wchar_t
         tests, and corresponds to the macro definition <code class="code">
         _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T</code> in the file c++config.h.
       </p></li></ul></div><pre class="programlisting">
   make check-abi
   </pre><p>
     The library ABI can be tested. This involves testing the shared
     library against an ABI-defining previous version of symbol
     exports.
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
   make check-compile
  </pre><p>
     This rule compiles, but does not link or execute, the
     <span class="emphasis"><em>testsuite_files</em></span> test cases and displays the
     output on stdout.
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
   make check-performance
   </pre><p>
     This rule runs through the
     <span class="emphasis"><em>testsuite_files_performance</em></span> test cases and
     collects information for performance analysis and can be used to
     spot performance regressions. Various timing information is
     collected, as well as number of hard page faults, and memory
     used. This is not run by default, and the implementation is in
     flux.
   </p><p>
      We are interested in any strange failures of the testsuite;
      please email the main libstdc++ mailing list if you see
      something odd or have questions.
   </p></div><div class="section" title="Permutations"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="test.run.permutations"/>Permutations</h4></div></div></div><p>
      To run the libstdc++ test suite under the <a class="link" href="debug_mode.html" title="Chapter 17. Debug Mode">debug mode</a>, edit
      <code class="filename">libstdc++-v3/scripts/testsuite_flags</code> to add the
      compile-time flag <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG</code> to the
      result printed by the <code class="literal">--build-cxx</code>
      option. Additionally, add the
      <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC</code> flag to turn on
      pedantic checking. The libstdc++ test suite should produce
      precisely the same results under debug mode that it does under
      release mode: any deviation indicates an error in either the
      library or the test suite.
    </p><p>
      The <a class="link" href="parallel_mode.html" title="Chapter 18. Parallel Mode">parallel
      mode</a> can be tested in much the same manner, substituting
      <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_PARALLEL</code> for
      <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG</code> in the previous paragraph.
    </p><p>
      Or, just run the testsuites with <code class="constant">CXXFLAGS</code>
      set to <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG</code> or
      <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_PARALLEL</code>.
    </p></div></div><div class="section" title="Writing a new test case"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="test.new_tests"/>Writing a new test case</h3></div></div></div><p>
    The first step in making a new test case is to choose the correct
    directory and file name, given the organization as previously
    described.
   </p><p>
    All files are copyright the FSF, and GPL'd: this is very
    important.  The first copyright year should correspond to the date
    the file was checked in to SVN.
   </p><p>
     As per the dejagnu instructions, always return 0 from main to
     indicate success.
   </p><p>
   A bunch of utility functions and classes have already been
   abstracted out into the testsuite utility library, <code class="code">
   libtestc++</code>. To use this functionality, just include the
   appropriate header file: the library or specific object files will
   automatically be linked in as part of the testsuite run.
   </p><p>
   For a test that needs to take advantage of the dejagnu test
   harness, what follows below is a list of special keyword that
   harness uses. Basically, a test case contains dg-keywords (see
   dg.exp) indicating what to do and what kinds of behavior are to be
   expected.  New test cases should be written with the new style
   DejaGnu framework in mind.
   </p><p>
    To ease transition, here is the list of dg-keyword documentation
    lifted from dg.exp.
   </p><pre class="programlisting">
# The currently supported options are:
#
# dg-prms-id N
#       set prms_id to N
#
# dg-options "options ..." [{ target selector }]
#       specify special options to pass to the tool (eg: compiler)
#
# dg-do do-what-keyword [{ target/xfail selector }]
#       `do-what-keyword' is tool specific and is passed unchanged to
#       ${tool}-dg-test.  An example is gcc where `keyword' can be any of:
#       preprocess|compile|assemble|link|run
#       and will do one of: produce a .i, produce a .s, produce a .o,
#       produce an a.out, or produce an a.out and run it (the default is
#       compile).
#
# dg-error regexp comment [{ target/xfail selector } [{.|0|linenum}]]
#       indicate an error message &lt;regexp&gt; is expected on this line
#       (the test fails if it doesn't occur)
#       Linenum=0 for general tool messages (eg: -V arg missing).
#       "." means the current line.
#
# dg-warning regexp comment [{ target/xfail selector } [{.|0|linenum}]]
#       indicate a warning message &lt;regexp&gt; is expected on this line
#       (the test fails if it doesn't occur)
#
# dg-bogus regexp comment [{ target/xfail selector } [{.|0|linenum}]]
#       indicate a bogus error message &lt;regexp&gt; use to occur here
#       (the test fails if it does occur)
#
# dg-build regexp comment [{ target/xfail selector }]
#       indicate the build use to fail for some reason
#       (errors covered here include bad assembler generated, tool crashes,
#       and link failures)
#       (the test fails if it does occur)
#
# dg-excess-errors comment [{ target/xfail selector }]
#       indicate excess errors are expected (any line)
#       (this should only be used sparingly and temporarily)
#
# dg-output regexp [{ target selector }]
#       indicate the expected output of the program is &lt;regexp&gt;
#       (there may be multiple occurrences of this, they are concatenated)
#
# dg-final { tcl code }
#       add some tcl code to be run at the end
#       (there may be multiple occurrences of this, they are concatenated)
#       (unbalanced braces must be \-escaped)
#
# "{ target selector }" is a list of expressions that determine whether the
# test succeeds or fails for a particular target, or in some cases whether the
# option applies for a particular target.  If the case of `dg-do' it specifies
# whether the test case is even attempted on the specified target.
#
# The target selector is always optional.  The format is one of:
#
# { xfail *-*-* ... } - the test is expected to fail for the given targets
# { target *-*-* ... } - the option only applies to the given targets
#
# At least one target must be specified, use *-*-* for "all targets".
# At present it is not possible to specify both `xfail' and `target'.
# "native" may be used in place of "*-*-*".
 
Example 1: Testing compilation only
// { dg-do compile }
 
Example 2: Testing for expected warnings on line 36, which all targets fail
// { dg-warning "string literals" "" { xfail *-*-* } 36 }
 
Example 3: Testing for expected warnings on line 36
// { dg-warning "string literals" "" { target *-*-* } 36 }
 
Example 4: Testing for compilation errors on line 41
// { dg-do compile }
// { dg-error "no match for" "" { target *-*-* } 41 }
 
Example 5: Testing with special command line settings, or without the
use of pre-compiled headers, in particular the stdc++.h.gch file. Any
options here will override the DEFAULT_CXXFLAGS and PCH_CXXFLAGS set
up in the normal.exp file.
// { dg-options "-O0" { target *-*-* } }

</p><p>The first key point when working with dejagnu is the idea of a "tool".
Files, directories, and functions are all implicitly used when they are
named after the tool in use.  Here, the tool will always be "libstdc++".
</p><p>The <code class="code">lib</code> subdir contains support routines.  The
<code class="code">lib/libstdc++.exp</code> file ("support library") is loaded
automagically, and must explicitly load the others.  For example, files can
be copied from the core compiler's support directory into <code class="code">lib</code>.
</p><p>Some routines in <code class="code">lib/libstdc++.exp</code> are callbacks, some are
our own.  Callbacks must be prefixed with the name of the tool.  To easily
distinguish the others, by convention our own routines are named "v3-*".
</p><p>The next key point when working with dejagnu is "test files".  Any
directory whose name starts with the tool name will be searched for test files.
(We have only one.)  In those directories, any <code class="code">.exp</code> file is
considered a test file, and will be run in turn.  Our main test file is called
<code class="code">normal.exp</code>; it runs all the tests in testsuite_files using the
callbacks loaded from the support library.
</p><p>The <code class="code">config</code> directory is searched for any particular "target
board" information unique to this library.  This is currently unused and sets
only default variables.

   The testsuite directory also contains some files that implement
   functionality that is intended to make writing test cases easier,
   or to avoid duplication, or to provide error checking in a way that
   is consistent across platforms and test harnesses. A stand-alone
   executable, called <span class="emphasis"><em>abi_check</em></span>, and a static
   library called <span class="emphasis"><em>libtestc++</em></span> are
   constructed. Both of these items are not installed, and only used
   during testing.
  </p><p>
  These files include the following functionality:

         Testing is composed of running a particular test sequence,
         and looking at what happens to the surrounding code when
         exceptions are thrown. Each test is composed of measuring
         initial state, executing a particular sequence of code under
         some instrumented conditions, measuring a final state, and
         then examining the differences between the two states.
       </p><p>
         Test sequences are composed of constructed code sequences
         that exercise a particular function or member function, and
         either confirm no exceptions were generated, or confirm the
         consistency/coherency of the test subject in the event of a
         thrown exception.
       </p><p>
         Random code paths can be constructed using the basic test
         sequences and instrumentation as above, only combined in a
         random or pseudo-random way.
       </p><p> To compute the code paths that throw, test instruments
         are used that throw on allocation events
         (<code class="classname">__gnu_cxx::throw_allocator_random</code>
         and <code class="classname">__gnu_cxx::throw_allocator_limit</code>)
         and copy, assignment, comparison, increment, swap, and
         various operators
         (<code class="classname">__gnu_cxx::throw_type_random</code>
         and <code class="classname">__gnu_cxx::throw_type_limit</code>). Looping
         through a given test sequence and conditionally throwing in
         all instrumented places.  Then, when the test sequence
         completes without an exception being thrown, assume all
         potential error paths have been exercised in a sequential
         manner.
