   1 Notes on how the HPPA testsuite is organized:
   2
   3 basic.parse -- this directory contains the basic instruction parsing
   4 tests and a simple .stab parsing test.  This would be where you'd
   5 add code to make sure new instructions are parsed correctly, new
   6 completers (such as cache hits) are parsed correctly, etc.
   7
   8 It's also a reasonable place to make sure parsing of the various
   9 assembler directives is handled correctly.  If you're going to add
  10 such code, try to be reasonably complete.  Add test code for each
  11 basic directive and test all (or a noteworthy) subset of arguments.
  12
  13 It should only be necessary to have an assembler to run these tests;
  14 calling objdump_start or something similar should not be done from
  15 this directory.
  16
  17
  18 more.parse -- this is where you should put additional parsing tests, such
  19 as tests to check mode selector parsing, string parsing, expression parsing,
  20 etc.  It's also a reasonable place to put parsing tests which are not complete
  21 enough (whatever that means) for basic.parse.
  22
  23 It should only be necessary to have an assembler to run these tests;
  24 calling objdump_start or something similar should not be done from
  25 this directory.
  26
  27
  28 reloc -- this is where you tests which examine relocations produced
  29 by GAS belong.  To run these tests you must have a functioning objdump.
  30
  31
  32 unsorted -- this is where everything else goes.  As groups of related tests
  33 end up in this directory, they should be broken out into a new class of
  34 tests.
