* At this time, SCFI machinery is only supported for x86_64.
-* When adding more tests, please keep CFI annotations updated in the .s files.
- Ideally the test should be run with and without --scfi (as is done currently
- for the core SCFI tests); Such workflow ensures sanity checking of the CFI
- annotations.
+* When adding more core SCFI tests (scfi-* tests), please keep CFI
+ annotations updated in the .s files. Ideally the test should be run with and

* Note that GAS issues a warning:
- "Warning: --scfi=all ignores some user-specified CFI directive"
- when it encounters CFI directives in the input assembly and --scfi (=all) is
- active. To bypass the noise from this warning, while keeping the testcases
- useful/understandable, most tests are run twice. E.g.,
+ "Warning: SCFI ignores most user-specified CFI directives"
+ when it encounters CFI directives in the input assembly and SCFI is enabled.
+ To bypass the noise from this warning, while keeping the testcases
+ useful/understandable, most of the SCFI core tests are run twice. E.g.,
- run_dump_test "scfi-cfi-add-1" // ignores warnings
- - run_list_test "scfi-cfi-add-1" "--scfi --warn" // tests warnings
+ - run_list_test "scfi-cfi-add-1" "--scfi=experimental --warn" // tests warnings
+
+* Tests named ginsn-* generally aim to ensure graceful ginsn creation process for
+ various instructions.
