Subject: [PATCH] perf test-hack: Split out feature tests to cache them and to
build them in parallel
So, the discussion died down a bit, so just to demonstrate how feature
tests should be done IMO, here's a quick hack to perf that adds a new
'make feature-check' test-target and factors out 4 standalone feature
tests:
$ make feature-check
...
Testing features:
dwarf support: disabled
ELF support: enabled
glibc support: enabled
Bionic support: disabled
Repeat invocations only rebuild the testcases that failed. If no testcase
fails then nothing is rebuilt and the features check runs very fast.
Even in the worst-case when most testcases are rebuilt there's a big
improvement in runtime due to building the testcases in parallel.
NOTE: the new testcases are not fed back into perf's
NO_DWARF/NO_LIBELF/etc. flag hierarchy yet, the patch only demonstrates
that this method is a viable and fast method that solves most of our
current problems in this area.
Other advantages over the current config/feature-tests.mak method:
- The individual testcases can be built/tested in the feature-checks/
directory as well, individually
- The testcases are simple, plain, standalone C files, unlike
config/feature-tests.mak which suffers from escaping complications.
'make clean' in feature-checks/ gets rid of all testcase binaries.
Thanks,
Ingo
