gcc/testsuite/README

   1 This is a collection of tests for GCC. For further information about
   2 the C testsuite, see README.gcc.
   3
   4 The driver that runs this testsuite is called DejaGnu and you will
   5 need a current DejaGnu snapshot, which is available from
   6 https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure, for example.
   7
   8 These tests are included "as is". If any of them fails, do not report
   9 a bug.  Bug reports for DejaGnu can go to bug-dejagnu@gnu.org.
  10 Discussion and comments about this testsuite should be sent to
  11 gcc@gcc.gnu.org; additions and changes should be sent to
  12 gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org.
  13
  14 The entire testsuite is invoked by `make check` at the top level of
  15 the GCC tree. `make check-g++` runs the C++ testsuite only.

  43 Finally, some random last minute notes by Mike Stump <mrs@cygnus.com>, on
  44 how to run tests (in the GCC 2.7 era):
  45
  46         runtest --tool g++ --srcdir ./testsuite
  47
  48 where
  49
  50         runtest Is the name used to invoke DejaGnu.   If DejaGnu is not
  51                 installed this will be the relative path name for runtest.
  52
  53         --tool  This tells DejaGnu which tool you are testing. It is
  54                 mainly used to find the testsuite directories for a
  55                 particular tool when several testsuites are in the
  56                 same directory. (like the gcc and g++ testsuites)
  57
  58         --srcdir This points to the top level of the directory
  59                 containing the sources of the testsuite. This is
  60                 ./testsuite if you are in the directory that has the
  61                 testsuite directory.
