1.1 What is DejaGnu?
====================
DejaGnu is a framework for testing other programs, providing a single
front-end for all tests. You can think of it as a library of Tcl
procedures to help with writing a test harness. A _test harness_ is the
infrastructure that is created to test a specific program or tool. Each
program can have multiple testsuites, all supported by a single test
harness. DejaGnu is written in Expect, which in turn uses Tcl, the Tool
command language. There is more information on Tcl at the Tcl/Tk web
site (http://www.tcl.tk) and the Expect web site
(http://expect.nist.gov).
Julia Menapace first coined the term _DejaGnu_ to describe an earlier
testing framework she wrote at Cygnus Support for testing GDB. When we
replaced it with the Expect-based framework, it was like DejaGnu all
over again. More importantly, it was also named after my daughter, Deja
Snow Savoye, who was a toddler during DejaGnu's beginnings.
DejaGnu offers several advantages for testing:
* The flexibility and consistency of the DejaGnu framework make it
easy to write tests for any program, with either batch-oriented, or
interactive programs.
* DejaGnu provides a layer of abstraction which allows you to write
tests that are portable to any host or target where a program must
be tested. For instance, a test for 'GDB' can run from any
supported host system on any supported target system. DejaGnu runs
tests on many single board computers, whose operating software
ranges from a simple boot monitor to a real-time OS.
* All tests have the same output format. This makes it easy to
integrate testing into other software development processes.
DejaGnu's output is designed to be parsed by other filtering script
and it is also human readable.
* Using Tcl and Expect, it's easy to create wrappers for existing
testsuites. By incorporating existing tests under DejaGnu, it's
easier to have a single set of report analyse programs..
Running tests requires two things: the testing framework and the
testsuites themselves. Tests are usually written in Expect using Tcl,
but you can also use a Tcl script to run a testsuite that is not based
on Expect. Expect script filenames conventionally use '.exp' as a
suffix. For example, the main implementation of the DejaGnu test driver
is in the file 'runtest.exp'.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Release Notes, Next: Design goals, Prev: What is DejaGnu?, Up: Introduction
1.2 New in this release
=======================
The following major, user-visible changes have been introduced since
version 1.5.3.
1. Support for target communication via SSH has been added.
2. A large number of very old config and baseboard files have been
removed. If you need to resurrect these, you can get them from
version 1.5.3. If you can show that a board is still in use, it
can be put back in the distribution.
3. The '--status' command line option is now the default. This means
that any error in the testsuite Tcl scripts will cause runtest to
abort with exit status code 2. The '--status' option has been
removed from the documentation, but will continue to be accepted
for backward compatibility.
4. 'runtest' now exits with exit code 0 if the testsuite "passed", 1
if something unexpected happened (eg, FAIL, XPASS or UNRESOLVED),
and 2 if an exception is raised by the Tcl interpreter.
5. 'runtest' now exits with the standard exit codes of programs that
are terminated by the SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGQUIT signals.
6. The user-visible utility procedures 'absolute', 'psource' and
'slay' have been removed. If a testsuite uses any of these
procedures, a copy of the procedure should be made and placed in
the lib directory of the testsuite.
7. Support was added for testing the D compiler.
8. '~/.dejagnurc' is now loaded last, not first. This allows the user
to have the ability to override anything in their environment (even
the 'site.exp' file specified by '$DEJAGNU').
9. The user-visible utility procedure 'unsetenv' is *deprecated* and
will be removed in the next release. If a testsuite uses this
procedure, a copy should be made and placed in the lib directory of
the testsuite.

1.3 Design goals
================
DejaGnu grew out of the internal needs of Cygnus Solutions (formerly
Cygnus Support). Cygnus maintained and enhanced a variety of free
programs in many different environments and needed a testing tool that:
* was useful to developers while fixing bugs;
* automated running many tests during a software release process;
* was portable among a variety of host computers;
* supported a cross-development environment;
* permitted testing of interactive programs like 'GDB'; and
* permitted testing of batch-oriented programs like 'GCC'.
Some of the requirements proved challenging. For example,
interactive programs do not lend themselves very well to automated
testing. But all the requirements are important. For instance, it is
imperative to make sure that 'GDB' works as well when cross-debugging as
it does in a native configuration.
Probably the greatest challenge was testing in a cross-development
environment. Most cross-development environments are customized by each
developer. Even when buying packaged boards from vendors there are many
differences. The communication interfaces vary from a serial line to
Ethernet. DejaGnu was designed with a modular communication setup, so
that each kind of communication can be added as required and supported
thereafter. Once a communication procedure is written, any test can use
it. Currently DejaGnu can use 'ssh', 'rsh', 'rlogin', 'telnet', 'tip',
and 'kermit' for remote communications.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: A POSIX Conforming Test Framework, Next: Installation, Prev: Design goals, Up: Introduction
1.4 A POSIX compliant test framework
====================================
DejaGnu conforms to the POSIX 1003.3 standard for test frameworks. Rob
Savoye was a member of that committee.
POSIX standard 1003.3 defines what a testing framework needs to
provide to create a POSIX compliant testsuite. This standard is
primarily oriented to checking POSIX conformance, but its requirements
also support testing of features not related to POSIX conformance.
POSIX 1003.3 does not specify a particular testing framework, but at
this time there is only one other POSIX conforming test framework. TET
was created by Unisoft for a consortium comprised of X/Open, Unix
International and the Open Software Foundation.
The POSIX documentation refers to "assertions". An assertion is a
description of behavior. For example, if a standard says "The sun shall
shine", a corresponding assertion might be "The sun is shining." A test
based on this assertion would pass or fail depending on whether it is
day or night. It is important to note that the standard being tested is
never 1003.3; the standard being tested is some other standard, for
which the assertions were written.
As there is no testsuite to verify that testing frameworks are POSIX
1003.3 compliant, this is done by repeatedly reading the standard and
experimenting. One of the main things POSIX 1003.3 does specify is the
set of allowed output messages and their definitions. Four messages are
supported for a required feature of POSIX conforming systems and a fifth
for a conditional feature. DejaGnu supports all five output messages.
In this sense a testsuite that uses exactly these messages can be
considered POSIX compliant. These definitions specify the output of a
test case:
PASS
A test has succeeded. That is, it demonstrated that the assertion
is true.
FAIL
A test has not succeeded - the assertion is false. The _FAIL_
message is based on this test case only. Other messages are used
to indicate a failure of the framework. As with _PASS_, POSIX
tests must return _FAIL_ rather than _XFAIL_ even if a failure was
expected.
XFAIL
POSIX 1003.3 does not incorporate the notion of expected failures,
so _PASS_, instead of _XPASS_, must also be returned for test cases
which were expected to fail and did not. This means that _PASS_ is
in some sense more ambiguous than if _XPASS_ is also used.
UNRESOLVED
A test produced indeterminate results. Usually, this means the
test executed in an unexpected fashion. This outcome requires a
human to go over results to determine if the test should have
passed or failed. This message is also used for any test that
requires human intervention because it is beyond the abilities of
the testing framework. Any unresolved test should resolved to
_PASS_ or _FAIL_ before a test run can be considered finished.
Note that for POSIX, each assertion must produce a test result
code. If the test isn't actually run, it must produce _UNRESOLVED_
rather than just leaving that test out of the output. This means
that you have to be careful when writing tests to not carelessly
use Tcl commands like _return_--if you alter the flow of control of
the Tcl code you must insure that every test still produces some
result code.
Here are some of the ways a test may wind up _UNRESOLVED_:
* Execution of a test is interrupted.
* A test does not produce a clear result. This is usually because
there was an _ERROR_ from DejaGnu while processing the test, or
because there were three or more _WARNING_ messages. Any _WARNING_
or _ERROR_ messages can invalidate the output of the test. This
usually requires a human to examine the output to determine what
really happened - and to improve the test case.
* A test depends on a previous test, which has failed.
* The test was set up incorrectly.
UNTESTED
A test was not run. This is a placeholder used when there is no
real test case yet.
UNSUPPORTED
There is no support for the tested case. This may mean that a
conditional feature of an operating system, or of a compiler, is
not implemented. DejaGnu also uses this message when a testing
environment (often a "bare board" target) lacks basic support for
compiling or running the test case. For example, a test for the
system subroutine _gethostname_ would never work on a target board
running only a boot monitor.
DejaGnu uses the same output procedures to produce these messages for
all testsuites and these procedures are already known to conform to
POSIX 1003.3. For a DejaGnu testsuite to conform to POSIX 1003.3, you
must avoid the _setup_xfail_ procedure as described in the _PASS_
section above and you must be careful to return _UNRESOLVED_ where
appropriate, as described in the _UNRESOLVED_ section above.

1.5 Installation
================
Refer to the 'INSTALL' in the source distribution for detailed
installation instructions. Note that there is no compilation step as
with many other GNU packages, as DejaGnu consists of interpreted code
only.
Save for its own small testsuite, the DejaGnu distribution does not
include any testsuites. Testsuites for the various GNU development
tools are included with those packages. After configuring the top-level
DejaGnu directory, unpack and configure the test directories for the
tools you want to test; then, in each test directory, run _make check_
to build auxiliary programs required by some of the tests, and run the
test suites.

2 Running tests
***************
There are two ways to execute a testsuite. The most common way is when
there is existing support in the 'Makefile' of the tool being tested.
This usually consists of a _check_ target. The other way is to execute
the 'runtest' program directly. To run 'runtest' directly from the
command line requires either all of the correct command line options, or
a *note Local config file:: must be set up correctly.
* Menu:
* Running 'make check': Make Check.
* Running runtest: Runtest.
* Output files: Output Files.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Make Check, Next: Runtest, Up: Running tests
2.1 Running 'make check'
========================
To run tests from an existing collection, first use 'configure' as usual
to set up the build directory. Then type 'make check'. If the _check_
target exists, it usually saves you some trouble. For instance, it can
set up any auxiliary programs or other files needed by the tests. The
most common file the _check_ target depends on is the 'site.exp' file.
The 'site.exp' contains various variables that DejaGnu uses to determine
the configuration of the program being tested.
Once you have run _make check_ to build any auxiliary files, you can
invoke the test driver 'runtest' directly to repeat the tests. You will
also have to execute 'runtest' directly for test collections with no
_check_ target in the 'Makefile'.
GNU Automake has built-in support for DejaGnu. To add DejaGnu
support to your generated 'Makefile.in', just add the keyword 'dejagnu'
to the AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS variable in 'Makefile.am'. This will ensure
that the generated 'Makefile.in' has a 'check' target that invokes
DejaGnu correctly.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Runtest, Next: Output Files, Prev: Make Check, Up: Running tests
2.2 Running runtest
===================
'runtest' is the test driver for DejaGnu. You can specify two kinds of
things on the 'runtest' command line: command line options, and Tcl
variables that are passed to the test scripts. The options are listed
alphabetically below.
'runtest' returns one of the following exit codes:
0
if all tests passed including expected failures and unsupported
tests.
1
if any test failed, passed unexpectedly, or was unresolved.
2
if Expect encountered any error in the test scripts.

* Invoking runtest::
* Common Options: Common Operations.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Output States, Next: Invoking runtest, Up: Runtest
2.2.1 Output States
-------------------
'runtest' flags the outcome of each test as one of these cases. See
*note A POSIX Conforming Test Framework:: for a discussion of how POSIX
specifies the meanings of these cases.
PASS
The most desirable outcome: the test was expected to succeed and
did succeed.
XPASS
A pleasant kind of failure: a test was expected to fail, but
succeeded. This may indicate progress; inspect the test case to
determine whether you should amend it to stop expecting failure.
FAIL
A test failed, although it was expected to succeed. This may
indicate regress; inspect the test case and the failing software to
locate the bug.
XFAIL
A test failed, but it was expected to fail. This result indicates
no change in a known bug. If a test fails because the operating
system where the test runs lacks some facility required by the
test, the outcome is _UNSUPPORTED_ instead.
UNRESOLVED
Output from a test requires manual inspection; the testsuite could
not automatically determine the outcome. For example, your tests
can report this outcome is when a test does not complete as
expected.
UNTESTED
A test case is not yet complete, and in particular cannot yet
produce a _PASS_ or _FAIL_. You can also use this outcome in dummy
"tests" that note explicitly the absence of a real test case for a
particular property.
UNSUPPORTED
A test depends on a conditionally available feature that does not
exist (in the configured testing environment). For example, you
can use this outcome to report on a test case that does not work on
a particular target because its operating system support does not
include a required subroutine.
'runtest' may also display the following messages:
ERROR
Indicates a major problem (detected by the test case itself) in
running the test. This is usually an unrecoverable error, such as
a missing file or loss of communication to the target. (POSIX
testsuites should not emit this message; use _UNSUPPORTED_,
_UNTESTED_, or _UNRESOLVED_ instead, as appropriate.)
WARNING
Indicates a possible problem in running the test. Usually warnings
correspond to recoverable errors, or display an important message
about the following tests.
NOTE
An informational message about the test case.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Invoking runtest, Next: Common Operations, Prev: Output States, Up: Runtest
2.2.2 Invoking runtest
----------------------
This is the full set of command line options that 'runtest' recognizes.
Option names may be abbreviated to the shortest unique string.
'-a', '--all'
Display all test output. By default, _runtest_ shows only the
output of tests that produce unexpected results; that is, tests
with status _FAIL_ (unexpected failure), _XPASS_ (unexpected
success), or _ERROR_ (a severe error in the test case itself).
Specify '--all' to see output for tests with status _PASS_
(success, as expected) _XFAIL_ (failure, as expected), or _WARNING_
(minor error in the test case itself).
'--build [triplet]'
_triplet_ is a system triplet of the form _cpu-vendor-os_. This is
the type of machine DejaGnu and the tools to be tested are built
on. For a normal cross environment this is the same as the host,
but for a Canadian cross, they are different.
'-D0', '-D1'
Start the internal Tcl debugger. The Tcl debugger supports
breakpoints, single stepping, and other common debugging
activities. See the document Debugger for Tcl Applications
(http://expect.sourceforge.net/doc/tcl-debug.ps) by Don Libes. If
you specify _-D1_, the _expect_ shell stops at a breakpoint as soon
as DejaGnu invokes it. If you specify _-D0_, DejaGnu starts as
usual, but you can enter the debugger by sending an interrupt (e.g.
by typing <Control><c>).
'--debug'
Turns on the Expect internal debugging output. Debugging output is
displayed as part of the _runtest_ output, and logged to a file
called 'dbg.log'. The extra debugging output does _not_ appear on
standard output, unless the verbose level is greater than 2 (for
instance, to see debug output immediately, specify '--debug -v
-v'). The debugging output shows all attempts at matching the test
output of the tool with the scripted patterns describing expected
output. The output generated with '--strace' also goes into
'dbg.log'.
'--help'
Prints out a short summary of the _runtest_ options, then exits
(even if you specify other options).
'--host [triplet]'
_triplet_ is a system triplet of the form _cpu-vendor-os_. Use
this option to override the default string recorded by your
configuration's choice of host. This choice does not change how
anything is actually configured unless -build is also specified; it
affects _only_ DejaGnu procedures that compare the host string with
particular values. The procedures _ishost_, _istarget_,
_isnative_, and _setup_xfail_ are affected by '--host'. In this
usage, _host_ refers to the machine that the tests are to be run
on, which may not be the same as the _build_ machine. If '--build'
is also specified, then '--host' refers to the machine that the
tests will be run on, not the machine DejaGnu is run on.
'--host_board [name]'
The host board to use.
'--ignore [name(s)] '
The name(s) of specific tests to ignore.
'--log_dialog'
Emit Expect output to stdout. The Expect output is usually only
written to the '.log' file. By enabling this option, they are also
printed to standard output.
'--mail [address(es)]'
Send test results to one or more email addresses.
'--objdir [path]'
Use _path_ as the top directory containing any auxiliary compiled
test code. The default is '.'. Use this option to locate
pre-compiled test code. You can normally prepare any auxiliary
files needed with _make_.
'--outdir [path]'
Write log files in directory 'path'. The default is '.', the
directory where you start _runtest_. This option affects only the
summary ('.sum') and the detailed log files ('.log'). The DejaGnu
debug log 'dbg.log' always appears (when requested) in the local
directory.
'--reboot [name]'
Reboot the target board when 'runtest' starts. When running tests
on a separate target board, it is safer to reboot the target to be
certain of its state. However, when developing test scripts,
rebooting can take a lot of time.
'--srcdir [path]'
Use 'path' as the top directory for test scripts to run. _runtest_
looks in this directory for any subdirectory whose name begins with
the toolname (specified with '--tool'). For instance, with '--tool
gdb', _runtest_ uses tests in subdirectories 'gdb.*' (with the
usual shell-like filename expansion). If you do not use
'--srcdir', _runtest_ looks for test directories under the current
working directory.
'--strace [n]'
Turn on internal tracing for _expect_, to n levels deep. By
adjusting the level, you can control the extent to which your
output expands multi-level Tcl statements. This allows you to
ignore some levels of _case_ or _if_ statements. Each procedure
call or control structure counts as one "level". The output is
recorded in the same file, 'dbg.log', used for output from
'--debug'.
'--target [triplet]'
Use this option to override the default setting (native testing).
_triplet_ is a system triplet of the form _cpu-vendor-os_. This
option changes the configuration 'runtest' uses for the default
tool names, and other setup information.
'--target_board [name(s)]'
The list of target boards to run tests on.
'--tool [name(s)]'
Specifies which testsuite to run, and what initialization module to
use. '--tool' is used _only_ for these two purposes. It is _not_
used to name the executable program to test. Executable tool names
(and paths) are recorded in 'site.exp' and you can override them by
specifying Tcl variables on the command line.
For example, including '--tool' gcc on the command line runs tests
from all test subdirectories whose names match 'gcc.*', and uses
one of the initialization modules named 'config/*-gcc.exp'. To
specify the name of the compiler (perhaps as an alternative path to
what _runtest_ would use by default), use _GCC=path-to-gcc_ on the
_runtest_ command line.
'--tool_exec [name]'
The path to the tool executable to test.
'--tool_opts [options]'
A list of additional options to pass to the tool.
'-v', '--verbose'
Turns on more output. Repeating this option increases the amount
of output displayed. Level one (_-v_) is simply test output.
Level two (_-v -v_) shows messages on options, configuration, and
process control. Verbose messages appear in the detailed ('*.log')
log file, but not in the summary ('*.sum') log file.
'-V', '--version'
Prints out the version numbers of DejaGnu, Expect, and Tcl.
'-x', '--xml=FILE'
Generate XML output. FILE is optional; if given it is the name of
the output file. If not given, the output file is named after the
tool.
'testfile'.exp[=arg(s)]
Specify the names of testsuites to run. By default, _runtest_ runs
all tests for the tool, but you can restrict it to particular
testsuites by giving the names of the _.exp expect_ scripts that
control them. _testsuite_.exp cannot include directory names, only
plain filenames.
'arg(s)' specifies a subset of tests in a suite to run. For
compiler or assembler tests, which often use a single _.exp_ script
covering many different source files, this option allows you to
further restrict the tests by listing particular source files to
compile. Some tools even support wildcards here. The wildcards
supported depend upon the tool, but typically _?_, _*_, and
_[chars]_ are recognized.
'tclvar'=value
You can define Tcl variables for use by your test scripts in the
same style used with _make_ for environment variables. For
example, _runtest GDB=gdb.old_ defines a variable called 'GDB';
when your scripts refer to '$GDB' in this run, they use the value
_gdb.old_.
The default Tcl variables used for most tools are defined in the
main DejaGnu _Makefile_; their values are captured in the
'site.exp' file.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Common Operations, Prev: Invoking runtest, Up: Runtest
2.2.3 Common Options
--------------------
Typically, you don't need to use any command line options. The '--tool'
option is only required when there is more than one testsuite in the
same directory. The default options are in the local 'site.exp' file,
created by 'make site.exp'.
For example, if the directory 'gdb/testsuite' contains a collection
of DejaGnu tests for GDB, you can run them like this:
$ cd gdb/testsuite
$ runtest --tool gdb
The test output follows, then ends with:
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 508
# of expected failures 103
/usr/latest/bin/gdb version 4.14.4 -nx
You can use the option '--srcdir' to point to some other directory
containing a collection of tests:
$ runtest --srcdir /devo/gdb/testsuite
By default, 'runtest' prints only the names of the tests it runs,
output from any tests that have unexpected results, and a summary
showing how many tests passed and how many failed. To display output
from all tests (whether or not they behave as expected), use the '-a'
(all) option. For more verbose output about processes being run,
communication, and so on, use '-v' (verbose). To see even more output,
use multiple '-v' options. See *note Invoking runtest:: for a more
detailed explanation of each 'runtest' option.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Output Files, Prev: Runtest, Up: Running tests
2.3 Output files
================
DejaGnu always writes two kinds of output files. Summary output is
written to the '.sum' file, and detailed output is written to the '.log'
file. The tool name determines the prefix for these files. For
example, after running with '--tool gdb', the output files will be
called 'gdb.sum' and 'gdb.log'. For troubleshooting, a debug log file
that logs the operation of Expect is available. Each of these will be
described in turn.
* Menu:
* Summary log file::
* Detailed log file::
* Debug log file::

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Summary log file, Next: Detailed log file, Up: Output Files
2.3.1 Summary log file
----------------------
DejaGnu always produces a summary ('.sum') output file. This summary
lists the names of all test files run. For each test file, one line of
output from each 'pass' command (showing status _PASS_ or _XPASS_) or
'fail' command (status _FAIL_ or _XFAIL_), trailing summary statistics
that count passing and failing tests (expected and unexpected), the full
pathname of the tool tested, and the version number of the tool. All
possible outcomes, and all errors, are always reflected in the summary
output file, regardless of whether or not you specify '--all'.
If any of your tests use the procedures 'unresolved', 'unsupported',
or 'untested', the summary output also tabulates the corresponding
outcomes.
For example, after running 'runtest --tool binutils' a summary log
file will be written to 'binutils.sum'. Normally, DejaGnu writes this
file in your current working directory. Use the '--outdir' option to
select a different output directory.

2.3.2 Detailed log file
-----------------------
DejaGnu also saves a detailed log file ('.log'), showing any output
generated by test cases as well as the summary output. For example,
after running 'runtest --tool binutils', a detailed log file will be
written to 'binutils.log'. Normally, DejaGnu writes this file in your
current working directory. Use the '--outdir' option to select a

2.3.3 Debug log file
--------------------
The 'runtest' option '--debug' creates a file showing the output from
Expect in debugging mode. The 'dbg.log' file is created in the current
directory. The log file shows the string sent to the tool being tested
by each 'send' command and the pattern it compares with the tool output
by each 'expect' command.
The log messages begin with a message of the form:
expect: does {tool output} (spawn_id n)
match pattern {expected pattern}?
For every unsuccessful match, Expect issues a _no_ after this
message. If other patterns are specified for the same Expect command,
they are reflected also, but without the first part of the message
(_expect... match pattern_).
When Expect finds a match, the log for the successful match ends with
_yes_, followed by a record of the Expect variables set to describe a
successful match.
*Example debug log file for a GDB test*
send: sent {break gdbme.c:34\n} to spawn id 6
expect: does {} (spawn_id 6) match pattern {Breakpoint.*at.* file
gdbme.c, line 34.*\(gdb\) $}? no
{.*\(gdb\) $}? no
expect: does {} (spawn_id 0) match pattern {return} ? no
{\(y or n\) }? no
{buffer_full}? no
{virtual}? no
{memory}? no
{exhausted}? no
{Undefined}? no
{command}? no
break gdbme.c:34
Breakpoint 8 at 0x23d8: file gdbme.c, line 34.
(gdb) expect: does {break gdbme.c:34\r\nBreakpoint 8 at 0x23d8:
file gdbme.c, line 34.\r\n(gdb) } (spawn_id 6) match pattern
{Breakpoint.*at.* file gdbme.c, line 34.*\(gdb\) $}? yes
expect: set expect_out(0,start) {18}
expect: set expect_out(0,end) {71}
expect: set expect_out(0,string) {Breakpoint 8 at 0x23d8: file
gdbme.c, line 34.\r\n(gdb) }
epect: set expect_out(spawn_id) {6}
expect: set expect_out(buffer) {break gdbme.c:34\r\nBreakpoint 8
at 0x23d8: file gdbme.c, line 34.\r\n(gdb) }
PASS: 70 0 breakpoint line number in file
This example exhibits three properties of Expect and DejaGnu that
might be surprising at first glance:
* Empty output for the first attempted match. The first set of
attempted matches shown ran against the output _{}_ -- that is, no
output. Expect begins attempting to match the patterns supplied
immediately; often, the first pass is against incomplete output (or
completely before all output, as in this case).
* Interspersed tool output. The beginning of the log entry for the
second attempted match may be hard to spot: this is because the
prompt _{(gdb) }_ appears on the same line, just before the
_expect:_ that marks the beginning of the log entry.
* Fail-safe patterns. Many of the patterns tested are fail-safe
patterns provided by GDB testing utilities, to reduce possible
indeterminacy. It is useful to anticipate potential variations
caused by extreme system conditions (GDB might issue the message
_virtual memory exhausted_ in rare circumstances), or by changes in
the tested program (_Undefined command_ is the likeliest outcome if
the name of a tested command changes).
The pattern _{return}_ is a particularly interesting fail-safe to
notice; it checks for an unexpected <RET> prompt. This may happen,
for example, if the tested tool can filter output through a pager.
These fail-safe patterns (like the debugging log itself) are
primarily useful while developing test scripts. Use the 'error'
procedure to make the actions for fail-safe patterns produce
messages starting with _ERROR_ on standard output, and in the
detailed log file.

3 Customizing DejaGnu
*********************
The site configuration file, 'site.exp', captures
configuration-dependent values and propagates them to the DejaGnu test
environment using Tcl variables. This ties the DejaGnu test scripts
into the 'configure' and 'make' programs. If this file is setup
correctly, it is possible to execute a testsuite merely by typing
'runtest'.
DejaGnu supports two 'site.exp' files. The multiple instances of
'site.exp' are loaded in a fixed order. The first file loaded is the
local file 'site.exp', and then the optional global 'site.exp' file as
pointed to by the 'DEJAGNU' environment variable.
There is an optional global 'site.exp', containing configuration
values that apply to DejaGnu site-wide. 'runtest' loads these values
first. The global 'site.exp' contains the default values for all
targets and hosts supported by DejaGnu. This global file is identified
by setting the environment variable 'DEJAGNU' to the name of the file.
Any directory containing a configured testsuite also has a local
'site.exp', capturing configuration values specific to the tool being
tested. Since 'runtest' loads these values last, the individual test
configuration can either rely on and use, or override, any of the global
values from the global 'site.exp' file.
You can usually generate or update the testsuite's local 'site.exp'
by typing 'make site.exp' in the testsuite directory, after the test
suite is configured.
You can also have a file in your home directory called '.dejagnurc'.
This gets loaded after the other config files. Usually this is used for
personal stuff, like setting the 'all_flag' so all the output gets
printed, or your own verbosity levels. This file is usually restricted
to setting command line options.
You can further override the default values in a user-editable
section of any 'site.exp', or by setting variables on the 'runtest'
command line.

3.1 Global config file
======================
The global configuration file is where all the target specific
configuration variables for a site are set. For example, a centralized
testing lab where multiple developers have to share an embedded
development board. There are settings for both remote hosts and remote
targets. Below is an example of a global configuration file for a
Canadian cross environment. A Canadian cross is a toolchain that is
built on, runs on, and targets three different system triplets (for
example, building a Solaris-hosted MIPS R4000 toolchain on a GNU/Linux
system). All configuration values in the example below are
site-specific.
*Example global configuration file*
# Make sure we look in the right place for the board description files.
lappend boards_dir "/nfs/cygint/s1/cygnus/dejagnu/boards"
verbose "Global config file: target_triplet is $target_triplet" 2
global target_list
case "$target_triplet" in {
{ "native" } {
set target_list "unix"
}
{ "sparc64-*elf" } {
set target_list "sparc64-sim"
}
{ "mips-*elf" } {
set target_list "mips-sim wilma barney"
}
{ "mips-lsi-elf" } {
set target_list "mips-lsi-sim{,soft-float,el}"
}
}
In this case, we have support for several cross compilers, that all
run on this host. To run DejaGnu tests on tools hosted on operating
systems that do not run Expect, DejaGnu can be run on the build machine
and connect to the remote host to run all the tests. As you can see,
all one does is set the variable 'target_list' to the list of targets
and options to test.
In this example, simple cases like _sparc64-elf_ only require setting
the name of the single board configuration file. The _mips-elf_ target
is more complicated and sets the list to three target boards.
_mips-sim_ is a symbolic name for a simulator "board" and _wilma_ and
_barney_ are symbolic names for physical boards. Symbolic names are
covered in the *note Adding a new board:: section. The more complicated
example is the entry for _mips-lsi-elf_. This one runs the tests with
multiple iterations using all possible combinations of the
'--soft-float' and the '--el' (little endian) options. The braced
string includes an initial comma so that the set of combinations
includes no options at all. Needless to say, this last target example
is mostly specific to compiler testing.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Local config file, Next: Board config file, Prev: Global config file, Up: Customizing DejaGnu
3.2 Local config file
=====================
It is usually more convenient to keep these _manual overrides_ in the
'site.exp' local to each test directory, rather than in the global
'site.exp' in the installed DejaGnu library. This file is mostly for
supplying tool specific info that is required by the testsuite.
All local 'site.exp' files have two sections, separated by comments.
The first section is generated by 'make'. It is essentially a
collection of Tcl variable definitions based on 'Makefile' environment
variables. Since they are generated by 'make', they contain the values
as specified by 'configure'. In particular, this section contains the
'Makefile' variables for host and target configuration data. Do not
edit this first section; if you do, your changes will be overwritten the
next time you run 'make'. The first section starts with:
## these variables are automatically generated by make ##
# Do not edit here. If you wish to override these values
# add them to the last section
In the second section, you can override any default values for all
the variables. The second section can also contain your preferred
defaults for all the command line options to 'runtest'. This allows you
to easily customize 'runtest' for your preferences in each configured
testsuite tree, so that you need not type options repeatedly on the
command line. The second section may also be empty if you do not wish
to override any defaults.
*The first section ends with this line*
## All variables above are generated by configure. Do Not Edit ##
You can make any changes under this line. If you wish to redefine a
variable in the top section, then just put a duplicate value in this
second section. Usually the values defined in this config file are
related to the configuration of the test run. This is the ideal place
to set the variables 'host_triplet', 'build_triplet', 'target_triplet'.
All other variables are tool dependent, i.e., for testing a compiler,
the value for 'CC' might be set to a freshly built binary, as opposed to
one in the user's path.
Here's an example local site.exp file, as used for GCC/G++ testing.
*Local Config File*
## these variables are automatically generated by make ##
# Do not edit here. If you wish to override these values
# add them to the last section
set rootme "/build/devo-builds/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc"
set host_triplet i686-pc-linux-gnu
set build_triplet i686-pc-linux-gnu
set target_triplet i686-pc-linux-gnu
set target_alias i686-pc-linux-gnu
set CFLAGS ""
set CXXFLAGS "-isystem /build/devo-builds/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/../libio -isystem $srcdir/../libg++/src -isystem $srcdir/../libio -isystem $srcdir/../libstdc++ -isystem $srcdir/../libstdc++/stl -L/build/devo-builds/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/../libg++ -L/build/devo-builds/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/../libstdc++"
append LDFLAGS " -L/build/devo-builds/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/../ld"
set tmpdir /build/devo-builds/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/testsuite
set srcdir "${srcdir}/testsuite"
## All variables above are generated by configure. Do Not Edit ##
This file defines the required fields for a local config file, namely
the three system triplets, and the srcdir. It also defines several
other Tcl variables that are used exclusively by the GCC testsuite. For
most test cases, the CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS are supplied by DejaGnu itself
for cross testing, but to test a compiler, GCC needs to manipulate these
itself.
The local 'site.exp' may also set Tcl variables such as
'test_timeout' which can control the amount of time (in seconds) to wait
for a remote test to complete. If not specified, 'test_timeout'
defaults to 300 seconds.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Board config file, Next: Remote host testing, Prev: Local config file, Up: Customizing DejaGnu
3.3 Board configuration file
============================
The board configuration file is where board-specific configuration
details are stored. A board configuration file contains all the
higher-level configuration settings. There is a rough inheritance
scheme, where it is possible to derive a new board description file from
an existing one. There are also collections of custom procedures for
common environments. For more information on adding a new board config
file, go to the *note Adding a new board:: section.
An example board configuration file for a GNU simulator is as
follows. 'set_board_info' is a procedure that sets the field name to
the specified value. The procedures mentioned in brackets are _helper
procedures_. These are used to find parts of a toolchain required to
build an executable image that may reside in various locations. This is
mostly of use when the startup code, the standard C libraries, or the
toolchain itself is part of your build tree.
*Example file*
# This is a list of toolchains that are supported on this board.
set_board_info target_install {sparc64-elf}
# Load the generic configuration for this board. This will define any
# routines needed by the tool to communicate with the board.
load_generic_config "sim"
# We need this for find_gcc and *_include_flags/*_link_flags.
load_base_board_description "basic-sim"
# Use long64 by default.
process_multilib_options "long64"
setup_sim sparc64
# We only support newlib on this target. We assume that all multilib
# options have been specified before we get here.
set_board_info compiler "[find_gcc]"
set_board_info cflags "[libgloss_include_flags] [newlib_include_flags]"
set_board_info ldflags "[libgloss_link_flags] [newlib_link_flags]"
# No linker script.
set_board_info ldscript ""
# Used by a few gcc.c-torture testcases to delimit how large the
# stack can be.
set_board_info gcc,stack_size 16384
# The simulator doesn't return exit status and we need to indicate this
# the standard GCC wrapper will work with this target.
set_board_info needs_status_wrapper 1
# We can't pass arguments to programs.
set_board_info noargs 1
There are five helper procedures used in this example:
* 'find_gcc' looks for a copy of the GNU compiler in your build tree,
or it uses the one in your path. This will also return the proper
transformed name for a cross compiler if you whole build tree is
configured for one.
* 'libgloss_include_flags' returns the flags to compile using *note
libgloss: Libgloss, the GNU board support package (BSP).
* 'libgloss_link_flags' returns the flags to link an executable using
*note libgloss: Libgloss.
* 'newlib_include_flags' returns the flags to compile using newlib
(https://sourceware.org/newlib), a re-entrant standard C library
for embedded systems comprising of non-GPL'd code
* 'newlib_link_flags' returns the flags to link an executable with
newlib (https://sourceware.org/newlib).

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Remote host testing, Next: Config file values, Prev: Board config file, Up: Customizing DejaGnu
3.4 Remote host testing
=======================
DejaGnu also supports running the tests on a remote host. To set this
up, the remote host needs an FTP server, and a telnet server. Currently
foreign operating systems used as remote hosts are VxWorks, VRTX,
DOS/Windows 3.1, MacOS and Windows.
The recommended source for a Windows-based FTP server is to get IIS
(either IIS 1 or Personal Web Server) from http://www.microsoft.com
(http://www.microsoft.com). When you install it, make sure you install
the FTP server - it's not selected by default. Go into the IIS manager
and change the FTP server so that it does not allow anonymous FTP. Set
the home directory to the root directory (i.e. c:\) of a suitable
drive. Allow writing via FTP.
It will create an account like IUSR_FOOBAR where foobar is the name
of your machine. Go into the user editor and give that account a
password that you don't mind hanging around in the clear (i.e. not the
same as your admin or personal passwords). Also, add it to all the
various permission groups.
You'll also need a telnet server. For Windows, go to the Ataman
(http://ataman.com) web site, pick up the Ataman Remote Logon Services
for Windows, and install it. You can get started on the eval period
anyway. Add IUSR_FOOBAR to the list of allowed users, set the HOME
directory to be the same as the FTP default directory. Change the Mode
prompt to simple.
Ok, now you need to pick a directory name to do all the testing in.
For the sake of this example, we'll call it piggy (i.e. c:\piggy).
Create this directory.
You'll need a unix machine. Create a directory for the scripts
you'll need. For this example, we'll use /usr/local/swamp/testing.
You'll need to have a source tree somewhere, say /usr/src/devo. Now,
copy some files from releng's area in SV to your machine:
*Remote host setup*
cd /usr/local/swamp/testing
mkdir boards
scp darkstar.welcomehome.org:/dejagnu/cst/bin/MkTestDir .
scp darkstar.welcomehome.org:/dejagnu/site.exp .
scp darkstar.welcomehome.org:/dejagnu/boards/useless98r2.exp boards/foobar.exp
export DEJAGNU=/usr/local/swamp/testing/site.exp
You must edit the boards/foobar.exp file to reflect your machine;
change the hostname (foobar.com), username (iusr_foobar), password, and
ftp_directory (c:/piggy) to match what you selected.
Edit the global ' site.exp' to reflect your boards directory:
*Add The Board Directory*
lappend boards_dir "/usr/local/swamp/testing/boards"
Now run MkTestDir, which is in the contrib directory. The first
parameter is the toolchain prefix, the second is the location of your
devo tree. If you are testing a cross compiler (ex: you have
sh-hms-gcc.exe in your PATH on the PC), do something like this:
*Setup Cross Remote Testing*
./MkTestDir sh-hms /usr/dejagnu/src/devo
If you are testing a native PC compiler (ex: you have gcc.exe in your
PATH on the PC), do this:
*Setup Native Remote Testing*
./MkTestDir '' /usr/dejagnu/src/devo
To test the setup, 'ftp' to your PC using the username (iusr_foobar)
and password you selected. CD to the test directory. Upload a file to
the PC. Now telnet to your PC using the same username and password. CD
to the test directory. Make sure the file is there. Type "set" and/or
"gcc -v" (or sh-hms-gcc -v) and make sure the default PATH contains the
installation you want to test.
*Run Test Remotely*
cd /usr/local/swamp/testing
make -k -w check RUNTESTFLAGS="--host_board foobar --target_board foobar -v -v" > check.out 2>&1
To run a specific test, use a command like this (for this example,
you'd run this from the gcc directory that MkTestDir created):
*Run a Test Remotely*
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--host_board sloth --target_board sloth -v compile.exp=921202-1.c"
Note: if you are testing a cross-compiler, put in the correct target
board. You'll also have to download more .exp files and modify them for
your local configuration. The -v's are optional.

3.5 Config file values
======================
DejaGnu uses a Tcl associative array to hold all the info for each
machine. In the case of a Canadian cross, this means host information
as well as target information. The named array is called 'target_info',
and it has two indices. The following fields are part of the array.
* Menu:
* Command line option variables::
* User configuration file::

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Command line option variables, Next: User configuration file, Up: Config file values
3.5.1 Command line option variables
-----------------------------------
In the user editable second section of the *note User configuration
file:: you can not only override the configuration variables captured in
the first section, but also specify default values for all on the
'runtest' command line options. Save for '--debug', '--help', and
'--version', each command line option has an associated Tcl variable.
Use the Tcl 'set' command to specify a new default value (as for the
configuration variables). The following table describes the
correspondence between command line options and variables you can set in
'site.exp'. *note Invoking runtest::, for explanations of the
command-line options.
*Option* *Tcl *Description*

-a, -all all_flag display all test results if set

File: dejagnu.info, Node: User configuration file, Prev: Command line option variables, Up: Config file values
3.5.2 Per-user configuration file (.dejagnurc)
----------------------------------------------
The per-user configuration file is named '.dejagnurc' in the user's home
directory. It is used to customize the behaviour of 'runtest' for each
user - typically the user's preference for log verbosity, and for
storing any experimental Tcl procedures. An example '~/.dejagnurc' file
looks like:
*Example .dejagnurc*
set all_flag 1
set RLOGIN /usr/ucb/rlogin
set RSH /usr/local/sbin/ssh
Here 'all_flag' is set so that I see all the test cases that PASS
along with the ones that FAIL. I also set 'RLOGIN' to the BSD
(non-Kerberos) version. I also set 'RSH' to the SSH secure shell, as
rsh is mostly used to test Unix machines within a local network.

4.1 Adding a new testsuite
==========================
The testsuite for a new tool should always be located in that tools
source directory. DejaGnu require the directory be named 'testsuite'.
Under this directory, the test cases go in a subdirectory whose name
begins with the tool name. For example, for a tool named _gdb_, each
subdirectory containing testsuites must start with 'gdb.'.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Adding a new tool, Next: Adding a new target, Prev: Adding a new testsuite, Up: Extending DejaGnu
4.2 Adding a new tool
=====================
In general, the best way to learn how to write code, or even prose, is
to read something similar. This principle applies to test cases and to
testsuites. Unfortunately, well-established testsuites have a way of
developing their own conventions: as test writers become more
experienced with DejaGnu and with Tcl, they accumulate more utilities,
and take advantage of more and more features of Expect and Tcl in
general. Inspecting such established testsuites may make the prospect
of creating an entirely new testsuite appear overwhelming.
Nevertheless, it is straightforward to start a new testsuite.
To help orient you further in this task, here is an outline of the
steps to begin building a testsuite for a program example.
Create or select a directory to contain your new collection of tests.
Change into that directory (shown here as 'testsuite'):
Create a 'configure.in' file in this directory, to control
configuration-dependent choices for your tests. So far as DejaGnu is
concerned, the important thing is to set a value for the variable
'target_abbrev'; this value is the link to the init file you will write
soon. (For simplicity, we assume the environment is Unix, and use
_unix_ as the value.)
What else is needed in 'configure.in' depends on the requirements of
your tool, your intended test environments, and which configure system
you use. This example is a minimal 'configure.ac' for use with GNU
Autoconf.
4.2.1 Sample Makefile.in Fragment
---------------------------------
Create 'Makefile.in' (if using Autoconf), or 'Makefile.am' (if using
Automake), the source file used by configure to build your 'Makefile'.
If you are using GNU Automake.just add the keyword _dejagnu_ to the
_AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS_ variable in your 'Makefile.am' file. This will add
all the 'Makefile' support needed to run DejaGnu, and support the *note
make check: Make Check. target.
You also need to include two targets important to DejaGnu: _check_,
to run the tests, and _site.exp_, to set up the Tcl copies of
configuration-dependent values. This is called the *note Local config
file:: The _check_ target must invoke the 'runtest' program to run the
tests.
The _site.exp_ target should usually set up (among other things) the
_$tool_ variable for the name of your program. If the local 'site.exp'
file is setup correctly, it is possible to execute the tests by merely
typing 'runtest' on the command line.
# Look for a local version of DejaGnu, otherwise use one in the path
RUNTEST = `if test -f $(top_srcdir)/../dejagnu/runtest; then \
echo $(top_srcdir) ../dejagnu/runtest; \
else \
echo runtest; \
fi`
# Flags to pass to runtest
RUNTESTFLAGS =
# Execute the tests
check: site.exp all
$(RUNTEST) $(RUNTESTFLAGS) --tool ${example} --srcdir $(srcdir)
# Make the local config file
site.exp: ./config.status Makefile

4.2.2 Simple tool init file for batch programs
----------------------------------------------
Create a directory (under 'testsuite') called 'config'. Make a tool
init file in this directory. Its name must start with the
'target_abbrev' value, or be named 'default.exp' so call it
'config/unix.exp' for our Unix based example. This is the file that
contains the target-dependent procedures. Fortunately, on a native Unix
system, most of them do not have to do very much in order for 'runtest'
to run. If the program being tested is not interactive, you can get
away with this minimal 'unix.exp' to begin with:
proc myprog_exit {} {}
proc myprog_version {} {}
If the program being tested is interactive, however, you might as
well define a _start_ routine and invoke it by using a tool init file
like this:
4.2.3 Simple tool init file for interactive programs
----------------------------------------------------
proc myprog_exit {} {}
proc myprog_version {} {}
proc myprog_start {} {
global ${examplename}
spawn ${examplename}
expect {
-re "" {}
}
}
# Start the program running we want to test
myprog_start
Create a directory whose name begins with your tool's name, to
contain tests. For example, if your tool's name is _example_, then the
directories all need to start with 'example.'. Create a sample test
file ending in '.exp'. You can use 'first-try.exp'. To begin with,
just write one line of Tcl code to issue a message:
send_user "Testing: one, two...\n"
4.2.4 Testing A New Tool Config
-------------------------------
Back in the 'testsuite' (top level) directory, run 'configure'.
Typically you do this while in the build directory. You are now ready
to type 'make check' or 'runtest'. You should see something like this:
Test Run By bje on Sat Nov 14 15:08:54 AEDT 2015
=== example tests ===
Running ./example.0/first-try.exp ...
Testing: one, two...
=== example Summary ===
There is no output in the summary, because so far the example does
not call any of the procedures that report a test outcome.
Write some real tests. For an interactive tool, you should probably
write a real exit routine in fairly short order. In any case, you
should also write a real version routine soon.

4.3 Adding a new target
=======================
DejaGnu has some additional requirements for target support, beyond the
general-purpose provisions of a 'configure' script. DejaGnu must
actively communicate with the target, rather than simply generating or
managing code for the target architecture. Therefore, each tool
requires an initialization module for each target. For new targets, you
must supply a few Tcl procedures to adapt DejaGnu to the target.
Usually the best way to write a new initialization module is to edit
an existing initialization module; some trial and error will be
required. If necessary, you can use the '--debug' option to see what is
really going on.
When you code an initialization module, be generous in printing
information using the 'verbose' procedure. In cross-development
environments, most of the work is in getting the communications right.
Code for communicating via TCP/IP networks or serial lines is available
in a DejaGnu library files such as 'lib/telnet.exp'.
If you suspect a communication problem, try running the connection
interactively from Expect. (There are three ways of running Expect as
an interactive interpreter. You can run Expect with no arguments, and
control it completely interactively; or you can use 'expect -i' together
with other command-line options and arguments; or you can run the
command 'interpreter' from any Expect procedure. Use 'return' to get
back to the calling procedure (if any), or 'return -tcl' to make the
calling procedure itself return to its caller; use 'exit' or end-of-file
to leave Expect altogether.) Run the program whose name is recorded in
'$connectmode', with the arguments in '$targetname', to establish a
connection. You should at least be able to get a prompt from any target
that is physically connected.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Adding a new board, Next: Board file values, Prev: Adding a new target, Up: Extending DejaGnu
4.4 Adding a new board
======================
Adding a new board consists of creating a new board configuration file.
Examples are in 'dejagnu/baseboards'. Usually to make a new board file,
it's easiest to copy an existing one. It is also possible to have your
file be based on a _baseboard_ file with only one or two changes needed.
Typically, this can be as simple as just changing the linker script.
Once the new baseboard file is done, add it to the 'boards_DATA' list in
the 'dejagnu/baseboards/Makefile.am', and regenerate the Makefile.in
using automake. Then just rebuild and install DejaGnu. You can test it
by:
There is a crude inheritance scheme going on with board files, so you
can include one board file into another, The two main procedures used to
do this are 'load_generic_config' and 'load_base_board_description'.
The generic config file contains other procedures used for a certain
class of target. The board description file is where the board specific
settings go. Commonly there are similar target environments with just
different processors.
*Testing a New Board Configuration File*
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=newboardfile".
Here's an example of a board config file. There are several _helper
procedures_ used in this example. A helper procedure is one that look
for a tool of files in commonly installed locations. These are mostly
used when testing in the build tree, because the executables to be
tested are in the same tree as the new dejagnu files. The helper
procedures are the ones in square braces _[]_, which is the Tcl
execution characters.
*Example Board Configuration File*
# Load the generic configuration for this board. This will define a basic
# set of routines needed by the tool to communicate with the board.
load_generic_config "sim"
# basic-sim.exp is a basic description for the standard Cygnus simulator.
load_base_board_description "basic-sim"
# The compiler used to build for this board. This has *nothing* to do
# with what compiler is tested if we're testing gcc.
set_board_info compiler "[find_gcc]"
# We only support newlib on this target.
# However, we include libgloss so we can find the linker scripts.
set_board_info cflags "[newlib_include_flags] [libgloss_include_flags]"
set_board_info ldflags "[newlib_link_flags]"
# No linker script for this board.
set_board_info ldscript "-Tsim.ld"
# The simulator doesn't return exit statuses and we need to indicate this.
set_board_info needs_status_wrapper 1
# Can't pass arguments to this target.
set_board_info noargs 1
# No signals.
set_board_info gdb,nosignals 1
# And it can't call functions.

4.5 Board configuration file values
===================================
The following fields are in the 'board_info' array. These are set by
the 'set_board_info' procedure (or 'add_board_info' procedure for
appending to lists). Both procedures take a field name and a value for
the field (or is added to the field), respectively. Some common board
info fields are shown below.
*Field* *Example *Description*

cflags "-mca" Compilation flags for the compiler.
ldflags "[libgloss_link_flags]Linking flags for the compiler.
[newlib_link_flags]"
ldscript "-Wl,-Tidt.ld" The linker script to use when cross

shell_prompt "cygmon>" The command prompt of the remote shell.
hex_startaddr "0xa0020000" The Starting address as a string.
start_addr 0xa0008000 The starting address as a value.
startaddr "a0020000"
exit_statuses_bad1 Whether there is an accurate exit status.

These fields are used by the GCC and GDB tests, and are mostly only
useful to somewhat trying to debug a new board file for one of these
tools. Many of these are used only by a few testcases, and their
purpose is esoteric. These are listed with sample values as a guide to

4.6 Writing a test case
=======================
The easiest way to prepare a new test case is to base it on an existing
one for a similar situation. There are two major categories of tests:
batch-oriented and interactive. Batch-oriented tests are usually easier
to write.
The GCC tests are a good example of batch-oriented tests. All GCC
tests consist primarily of a call to a single common procedure, since
all the tests either have no output, or only have a few warning messages
when successfully compiled. Any non-warning output constitutes a test
failure. All the C code needed is kept in the test directory. The test
driver, written in Tcl, need only get a listing of all the C files in
the directory, and compile them all using a generic procedure. This
procedure and a few others supporting for these tests are kept in the
library module 'lib/c-torture.exp' of the GCC testsuite. Most tests of
this kind use very few Expect features, and are coded almost purely in
Tcl.
Writing the complete suite of C tests, then, consisted of these
steps:
* Copying all the C code into the test directory. These tests were
based on the C-torture test created by Torbjorn Granlund (on behalf
of the Free Software Foundation) for GCC development.
* Writing (and debugging) the generic Tcl procedures for compilation.
* Writing the simple test driver: its main task is to search the
directory (using the Tcl procedure _glob_ for filename expansion
with wildcards) and call a Tcl procedure with each filename. It
also checks for a few errors from the testing procedure.
Testing interactive programs is intrinsically more complex. Tests
for most interactive programs require some trial and error before they
are complete.
However, some interactive programs can be tested in a simple fashion
reminiscent of batch tests. For example, prior to the creation of
DejaGnu, the GDB distribution already included a wide-ranging testing
procedure. This procedure was very robust, and had already undergone
much more debugging and error checking than many recent DejaGnu test
cases. Accordingly, the best approach was simply to encapsulate the
existing GDB tests, for reporting purposes. Thereafter, new GDB tests
built up a family of Tcl procedures specialized for GDB testing.
4.6.1 Hints on writing a test case
----------------------------------
It is safest to write patterns that match all the output generated by
the tested program; this is called closure. If a pattern does not match
the entire output, any output that remains will be examined by the next
'expect' command. In this situation, the precise boundary that
determines which 'expect' command sees what is very sensitive to timing
between the Expect task and the task running the tested tool. As a
result, the test may sometimes appear to work, but is likely to have
unpredictable results. (This problem is particularly likely for
interactive tools, but can also affect batch tools--especially for tests
that take a long time to finish.) The best way to ensure closure is to
use the '-re' option for the 'expect' command to write the pattern as a
full regular expressions; then you can match the end of output using a
_$_. It is also a good idea to write patterns that match all available
output by using _.*\_ after the text of interest; this will also match
any intervening blank lines. Sometimes an alternative is to match end
of line using _\r_ or _\n_, but this is usually too dependent on
terminal settings.
Always escape punctuation, such as _(_ or _"_, in your patterns; for
example, write _\(_. If you forget to escape punctuation, you will
usually see an error message like:
extra characters after close-quote
If you have trouble understanding why a pattern does not match the
program output, try using the '--debug' option to 'runtest', and examine
the debug log carefully.
Be careful not to neglect output generated by setup rather than by
the interesting parts of a test case. For example, while testing GDB, I
issue a send _set height 0\n_ command. The purpose is simply to make
sure GDB never calls a paging program. The _set height_ command in GDB
does not generate any output; but running any command makes GDB issue a
new _(gdb) _ prompt. If there were no 'expect' command to match this
prompt, the output _(gdb) _ begins the text seen by the next 'expect'
command--which might make that pattern fail to match.
To preserve basic sanity, I also recommended that no test ever pass
if there was any kind of problem in the test case. To take an extreme
case, tests that pass even when the tool will not spawn are misleading.
Ideally, a test in this sort of situation should not fail either.
Instead, print an error message by calling one of the DejaGnu procedures
'error' or 'warning'.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Debugging a test case, Next: Adding a test case to a testsuite, Prev: Writing a test case, Up: Extending DejaGnu
4.7 Debugging a test case
=========================
These are the kinds of debugging information available from DejaGnu:
* Output controlled by test scripts themselves, explicitly allowed
for by the test author. This kind of debugging output appears in
the detailed output recorded in the DejaGnu log file. To do the
same for new tests, use the 'verbose' procedure (which in turn uses
the Tcl variable 'verbose') to control how much output to generate.
This will make it easier for other people running the test to debug
it if necessary. If 'verbose' is zero, there should be no output
other than the output from the framework (eg. FAIL). Then, to
whatever extent is appropriate for the particular test, allow
successively higher values of 'verbose' to generate more
information. Be kind to other programmers who use your tests -
provide plenty of debugging information.
* Output from the internal debugging functions of Tcl and Expect.
There is a command line options for each; both forms of debugging
output are recorded in the file 'dbg.log' in the current directory.
Use '--debug' for information from Expect. It logs how Expect
attempts to match the tool output with the patterns specified.
This can be very helpful while developing test scripts, since it
shows precisely the characters received. Iterating between the
latest attempt at a new test script and the corresponding 'dbg.log'
can allow you to create the final patterns by "cut and paste".
This is sometimes the best way to write a test case.
* Use '--strace' to see more detail from Tcl. This logs how Tcl
procedure definitions are expanded as they execute. The trace
level argument controls the depth of definitions expanded.
* If the value of 'verbose' is 3 or greater ('runtest -v -v -v'),
DejaGnu activates the Expect command 'log_user'. This command
prints all Expect actions to standard output, to the '.log' file
and, if '--debug' is given, to 'dbg.log'.

4.8 Adding a test case to a testsuite
=====================================
There are two slightly different ways to add a test case. One is to add
the test case to an existing directory. The other is to create a new
directory to hold your test. The existing test directories represent
several styles of testing, all of which are slightly different. Examine
the testsuite subdirectories for the tool of interest to see which
approach is most suitable.
Adding a GCC test may be very simple: just add the source file to any
test directory beginning with 'gcc.' and it will be tested on the next
test run.
Adding a test by creating a new directory involves:
1. Create the new directory. All subdirectory names begin with the
name of the tool to test; e.g. G++ tests might be in a directory
called 'g++.other'. There can be multiple testsuite subdirectories
with the same tool name prefix.
2. Add the new test case to the directory, as above.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: Test case variables, Prev: Adding a test case to a testsuite, Up: Extending DejaGnu
4.9 Test case special variables
===============================
There are special variables that contain other information from DejaGnu.
Your test cases can inspect these variables, as well as the variables
saved in 'site.exp'. These variables should never be changed.
'$prms_id'
The bug tracking system (eg. PRMS/GNATS) number identifying a
corresponding bug report (_0_ if you do not specify it).
'$bug_id'
An optional bug ID, perhaps a bug identification number from
another organization (_0_ if you do not specify it).
'$subdir'
The subdirectory for the current test case.
'$exec_output'
This is the output from a '${tool}_load' command. This only
applies to tools like GCC and GAS which produce an object file that
must in turn be executed to complete a test.
'$comp_output'
This is the output from a '${tool}_start' command. This is
conventionally used for batch-oriented programs, like GCC and GAS,
that may produce interesting output (warnings, errors) without
further interaction.
'$expect_out(buffer)'
The output from the last command. This is an internal variable set
by Expect. More information can be found in the Expect manual.

5.1 What is unit testing?
=========================
Most regression testing as done by DejaGnu is system testing: the
complete application is tested all at once. Unit testing is for testing
single files, or small libraries. In this case, each file is linked
with a test case in C or C++, and each function or class and method is
tested in turn, with the test case having to check private data or
global variables to see if the function or method worked.
This works particularly well for testing APIs and at level where it
is easier to debug them, than by needing to trace through the entire
application. Also if there is a specification for the API to be tested,
the testcase can also function as a compliance test.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: The dejagnu_h header file, Next: C unit testing API, Prev: What is unit testing?, Up: Unit testing
5.2 The dejagnu.h header file
=============================
DejaGnu uses a single header file, 'dejagnu.h' to assist in unit
testing. As this file also produces its one test state output, it can
be run stand-alone, which is very useful for testing on embedded
systems. This header file has a C and C++ API for the test states, with
simple totals, and standardized output. Because the output has been
standardized, DejaGnu can be made to work with this test case, without
writing almost any Tcl. The library module, dejagnu.exp, will look for
the output messages, and then merge them into DejaGnu's.

Once you use 'setup_xfail', the 'fail' and 'pass' procedures produce
the messages _XFAIL_ and _XPASS_ respectively, allowing you to
distinguish expected failures (and unexpected success!) from other test
outcomes.
*Warning*
Warning you must clear the expected failure after using setup_xfail
in a test case. Any call to 'pass 'or 'fail' clears the expected
failure implicitly; if the test has some other outcome, e.g. an
error, you can call 'clear_xfail' to clear the expected failure
explicitly. Otherwise, the expected-failure declaration applies to
whatever test runs next, leading to surprising results.
setup_xfail{config bugid}
'config'
The config triplet to trigger whether this is an unexpected or
expect failure.
'bugid'
The optional bugid, used to tie this test case to a bug tracking
system.

........................................
Sets the value of 'warning_threshold'. A value of _0_ disables it:
calls to 'warning' will not turn a _PASS_ or _FAIL_ into an
_UNRESOLVED_.
set_warning_threshold{threshold}
'threshold'
This is the value of the new warning threshold.

6.1.1.17 get_warning_threshold Procedure
........................................
Returns the current value of '{warning_threshold'. The default value is
3. This value controls how many 'warning' procedures can be called
before becoming _UNRESOLVED_.
get_warning_threshold

File: dejagnu.info, Node: warning procedure, Next: perror procedure, Prev: get_warning_threshold procedure, Up: Core Internal Procedures
6.1.1.18 warning Procedure
..........................
Declares detection of a minor error in the test case itself. 'warning'
writes in the log files a message beginning with _WARNING_, appending
the argument 'string'. Use 'warning' rather than 'perror' for cases
(such as communication failure to be followed by a retry) where the test
case can recover from the error. If the optional 'number' is supplied,
then this is used to set the internal count of warnings to that value.
As a side effect, 'warning_threshold' or more calls to warning in a
single test case also changes the effect of the next 'pass' or 'fail'
command: the test outcome becomes _UNRESOLVED_ since an automatic _PASS_
or _FAIL_ may not be trustworthy after many warnings. If the optional
numeric value is _0_, then there are no further side effects to calling
this function, and the following test outcome doesn't become
_UNRESOLVED_. This can be used for errors with no known side effects.
warning { messsage number }
'message'
The warning message.
'number'
The optional number to set the error counter. This is only used to
fake out the counter when using the 'xfail' procedure to control
when it flips the output over to _UNRESOLVED_ state.

6.1.1.19 perror Procedure
.........................
Declares a severe error in the testing framework itself. 'perror'
writes in the log files a message beginning with _ERROR_, appending the
argument 'string'.
As a side effect, perror also changes the effect of the next 'pass'
or 'fail' command: the test outcome becomes _UNRESOLVED_, since an
automatic _PASS_ or _FAIL_ cannot be trusted after a severe error in the
test framework. If the optional numeric value is _0_, then there are no
further side effects to calling this function, and the following test
outcome doesn't become _UNRESOLVED_. This can be used for errors with no
known side effects.
perror { message number }
'message'
The message to be logged.
'number'
The optional number to set the error counter. This is only used to
fake out the counter when using the 'xfail' procedure to control
when it flips the output over to _UNRESOLVED_ state.

6.1.1.20 note Procedure
.......................
Appends an informational message to the log file. 'note' writes in the
log files a message beginning with _NOTE_, appending the argument
'string'. Use 'note' sparingly. The 'verbose' should be used for most
such messages, but in cases where a message is needed in the log file
regardless of the verbosity level use 'note'.
note { string }
'string'
The string to use for this note.

6.1.1.21 untested Procedure
...........................
Declares a test was not run. 'untested' writes in the log file a
message beginning with _UNTESTED_, appending the argument _string_. For
example, you might use this in a dummy test whose only role is to record
that a test does not yet exist for some feature.
untested { message }
'message'
The message to use.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: unresolved procedure, Next: unsupported procedure, Prev: untested procedure, Up: Core Internal Procedures
6.1.1.22 unresolved Procedure
.............................
Declares a test to have an unresolved outcome. 'unresolved' writes in

argument _string_. This usually means the test did not execute as
expected, and a human being must go over results to determine if it
passed or failed (and to improve the test case).
unresolved { message }
'string'
The message to use.

unsupported { message }
'message'
The message to use.

6.1.1.24 transform Procedure
............................
Generates a string for the name of a tool as it was configured and
installed, given its native name (as the argument 'toolname'). This
makes the assumption that all tools are installed using the same naming
conventions: For example, for a cross compiler supporting the
_m68k-vxworks_ configuration, the result of transform 'gcc' is
'm68k-vxworks-gcc'.
transform{toolname}
'toolname'
The name of the cross-development program to transform.

File: dejagnu.info, Node: check_conditional_xfail procedure, Next: clear_xfail procedure, Prev: transform procedure, Up: Core Internal Procedures
6.1.1.25 check_conditional_xfail Procedure
..........................................
This procedure adds a conditional xfail, based on compiler options used
to create a test case executable. If an include options is found in the
compiler flags, and it's the right architecture, it'll trigger an
_XFAIL_. Otherwise it'll produce an ordinary _FAIL_. You can also
specify flags to exclude. This makes a result be a _FAIL_, even if the
included options are found. To set the conditional, set the variable
'compiler_conditional_xfail_data' to the fields
"[message string] [targets list] [includes list] [excludes list]"
(descriptions below). This is the checked at pass/fail decision
time, so there is no need to call the procedure yourself, unless you
wish to know if it gets triggered. After a pass/fail, the variable is
reset, so it doesn't effect other tests. It returns _1_ if the
conditional is true, or _0_ if the conditional is false.
check_conditional_xfail{message targets includes excludes}
'message'
This is the message to print with the normal test result.
'targets'
This is a string with the list targets to activate this conditional
on.
'includes'
This is a list of sets of options to search for in the compiler
options to activate this conditional. If the list of sets of
options is empty or if any set of the options matches, then this
conditional is true. (It may be useful to specify an empty list of
include sets if the conditional is always true unless one of the
exclude sets matches.)
'excludes'
This is a list of sets of options to search for in the compiler
options to activate this conditional. If any set of the options
matches, (regardless of whether any of the include sets match) then
this conditional is de-activated.
*Specifying the conditional xfail data*
set compiler_conditional_xfail_data { \
"I sure wish I knew why this was hosed" \
"sparc*-sun*-* *-pc-*-*" \
{"-Wall -v" "-O3"} \
{"-O1" "-Map"} \
}
What this does is it matches only for these two targets if "-Wall -v"
or "-O3" is set, but neither "-O1" or "-Map" is set. For a set to
match, the options specified are searched for independently of each
other, so a "-Wall -v" matches either "-Wall -v" or "-v -Wall". A space
separates the options in the string. Glob-style regular expressions are
also permitted.

6.1.1.26 clear_xfail Procedure
..............................
Cancel an expected failure (previously declared with 'setup_xfail') for
a particular set of configurations. The 'config' argument is a list of
configuration target names. It is only necessary to call 'clear_xfail'
if a test case ends without calling either 'pass' or 'fail', after
calling 'setup_xfail'.
clear_xfail{config}
'config'
The system triplets to clear.

Test cases can use this function to issue helpful messages depending on
the number of '-v'/'--verbose' options passed to runtest on the command
line. It prints string if the value of the variable 'verbose' is higher
than or equal to the optional loglevel. The default log level is 1.
Use the optional '-log' argument to cause string to always be added to
the log file, even if it won't be printed. Use the optional '-x'
argument to log the test results into a parsable XML file. Use the
optional '-n' argument to print string without a trailing newline. Use
the optional '--' argument if string begins with "-".

...........................
Loads a DejaGnu library file by searching the default fixed paths built
into DejaGnu. If DejaGnu has been installed, it looks in a path
starting with the installed library directory. If you are running
DejaGnu directly from a source directory, without first running 'make
install', this path defaults to the current directory. In either case,
it then looks in the current directory for a directory called 'lib'. If
there are duplicate definitions, the last one loaded takes precedence
over the earlier ones.
load_lib{filespec}
'filespec'
The name of the DejaGnu library file to load.
The global variable 'libdirs', handled as a list, is appended to the
default fixed paths built into DejaGnu.
*Additional search directories for load_lib*

6.1.2 Procedures For Remote Communication
-----------------------------------------
'lib/remote.exp' defines procedures for establishing and managing
communications. Each of these procedures tries to establish the
connection up to three times before returning. Warnings (if retries
will continue) or errors (if the attempt is abandoned) report on
communication failures. The result for any of these procedures is
either _-1_, when the connection cannot be established, or the spawn ID
returned by the Expect command 'spawn'.
It use the value of the 'connect' field in the 'target_info' array
(was 'connectmode' as the type of connection to make. Current supported
connection types are ssh, tip, kermit, telnet, rsh, and rlogin. If the
'--reboot' option was used on the runtest command line, then the target
is rebooted before the connection is made.

6.1.3.2 rsh Procedure
.....................
rsh{hostname}
'hostname'
This refers to the IP address or name (for example, an entry in
'/etc/hosts') for this target. The procedure names reflect the
Unix utility used to establish a connection. The optional 'port'
is used to specify the IP port number. The value of the 'netport'
field in the 'target_info' array is used. (was '$netport') This
value has two parts, the hostname and the port number, separated by
a _:_. If host or target is used in the 'hostname' field, than the
config array is used for all information.

.....................
tip{port}
'port'
Connect using the Unix utility 'tip'. 'Port'must be a name from
the tip configuration file '/etc/remote'. Often, this is called
'hardwire', or something like 'ttya'. This file holds all the
configuration data for the serial port. The value of the 'serial'
field in the 'target_info' array is used. (was '$serialport') If
'host' or 'target' is used in the 'port' field, than the config
array is used for all information. the config array is used for
all information.

'bps' is the line speed to use (in its per second) for the
connection. The value of the 'serial' field in the 'target_info'
array is used. (was '$serialport') If 'host' or 'target' is used
in the 'port' field, than the config array is used for all
information. the config array is used for all information.

This invokes the compiler as set by CC to compile the file 'file'. The
default options for many cross compilation targets are _guessed_ by
DejaGnu, and these options can be added to by passing in more parameters
as arguments to 'compile'. Optionally, this will also use the value of
the _cflags_ field in the target config array. If the host is not the
same as the build machines, then then compiler is run on the remote host
using 'execute_anywhere'.

This executes the _cmdline_ on the proper host. This should be used as
a replacement for the Tcl command 'exec' as this version utilizes the
target config info to execute this command on the build machine or a
remote host. All config information for the remote host must be setup
to have this command work. If this is a Canadian cross (where we test a
cross compiler that runs on a different host then where DejaGnu is
running) then a connection is made to the remote host and the command is
executed there. It returns either REMOTERROR (for an error) or the
output produced when the command was executed. This is used for running
the tool to be tested, not a test case.

6.1.6 Platform Dependent Procedures
-----------------------------------
Each combination of target and tool requires some target-dependent
procedures. The names of these procedures have a common form: the tool
name, followed by an underscore ___, and finally a suffix describing the
procedure's purpose. For example, a procedure to extract the version
from GDB is called 'gdb_version'.
'runtest' itself calls only two of these procedures, '${tool}_exit'
and '${tool}_version'; these procedures use no arguments.
The other two procedures, '${tool}_start' and '${tool}_load', are
only called by the test suites themselves (or by testsuite-specific
initialization code); they may take arguments or not, depending on the
conventions used within each testsuite.
The usual convention for return codes from any of these procedures
(although it is not required by 'runtest') is to return _0_ if the
procedure succeeded, _1_ if it failed, and _-1_ if there was a
communication error.
* Menu:
* ${tool}_start Procedure: ${tool}_start procedure

* ${tool}_exit Procedure: ${tool}_exit procedure
* ${tool}_version Procedure: ${tool}_version procedure

File: dejagnu.info, Node: ${tool}_start procedure, Next: ${tool}_load procedure, Up: platform dependent procedures
6.1.6.1 ${tool}_start Procedure
...............................
Starts a particular tool. For an interactive tool, '${tool}_start'
starts and initializes the tool, leaving the tool up and running for the
test cases; an example is 'gdb_start', the start function for GDB. For a
batch-oriented tool, '${tool}_start' is optional; the recommended
convention is to let '${tool}_start' run the tool, leaving the output in
a variable called 'comp_output'. Test scripts can then analyze
'$comp_output' to determine the test results. An example of this second
kind of start function is 'gcc_start', the start function for GCC.
DejaGnu itself does not call '${tool}_start'. The initialization
module '${tool}_init.exp' must call '${tool}_start' for interactive
tools; for batch-oriented tools, each individual test script calls
'${tool}_start' (or makes other arrangements to run the tool).
${tool}_start

File: dejagnu.info, Node: ${tool}_load procedure, Next: ${tool}_exit procedure, Prev: ${tool}_start procedure, Up: platform dependent procedures
6.1.6.2 ${tool}_load Procedure
..............................
Loads something into a tool. For an interactive tool, this conditions
the tool for a particular test case; for example, 'gdb_load' loads a new
executable file into the debugger. For batch-oriented tools,
'${tool}_load' may do nothing--though, for example, the GCC support uses
'gcc_load' to load and run a binary on the target environment.
Conventionally, '${tool}_load' leaves the output of any program it runs
in a variable called '$exec_output'. Writing '${tool}_load' can be the
most complex part of extending DejaGnu to a new tool or a new target, if
it requires much communication coding or file downloading. Test scripts
call '${tool}_load'.
${tool}_load

File: dejagnu.info, Node: ${tool}_exit procedure, Next: ${tool}_version procedure, Prev: ${tool}_load procedure, Up: platform dependent procedures
6.1.6.3 ${tool}_exit Procedure
..............................
Cleans up (if necessary) before DejaGnu exits. For interactive tools,
this usually ends the interactive session. You can also use
'${tool}_exit' to remove any temporary files left over from the tests.
'runtest' calls '${tool}_exit'.
${tool}_exit

File: dejagnu.info, Node: ${tool}_version procedure, Prev: ${tool}_exit procedure, Up: platform dependent procedures
6.1.6.4 ${tool}_version Procedure
.................................
Prints the version label and number for '${tool}'. This is called by
the DejaGnu procedure that prints the final summary report. The output
should consist of the full path name used for the tested tool, and its
version number.

6.1.7.4 grep Procedure
......................
Search the file called 'filename' (a fully specified path) for lines
that contain a match for regular expression _regexp_. The result is a
list of all the lines that match. If no lines match, the result is an
empty string. Specify _regexp_ using the standard regular expression
style used by the Unix utility program grep.
Use the optional third argument _line_ to start lines in the result
with the line number in 'filename'. (This argument is simply an option
flag; type it just as shown '--line'.)
grep{filename regexp -line}
'filename'
The file to search.
'regexp'
The Unix style regular expression (as used by the 'grep' Unix
utility) to search for.
'--line'
Prefix the line number to each line where the regexp matches.

6.1.7.6 runtest_file_p Procedure
................................
Search _runtest_s for _testcase_ and return _1_ if found, _0_ if not.
_runtests_ is a list of two elements. The first is a copy of what was
on the right side of the _=_ if
foo.exp="..."
was specified, or an empty string if no such argument is present.
The second is the pathname of the current testcase under consideration.
This is used by tools like compilers where each testcase is a file.
runtest_file_p{runtests testcase}
