NAME

filecheck - Attempt to reimplement LLVM's FileCheck using Python.

SYNOPSIS


filecheck <check-file> [<options>]

DESCRIPTION

Filecheck is a Python implementation for LLVM LIT integration tests integration tests. The package is useful to people who are not familiar with the LLVM infrastructure and Python-based projects that would prefer to not have to build anything from LLVM's source code in their CI process.

OPTIONS

- Require all positive matches to cover an entire input line. Allows leading and trailing whitespace if --strict-whitespace is not also passed.
- Do not treat all horizontal whitespace as equivalent
- Allows changing a default match keyword CHECK to an arbitrary keyword
- Adds implicit CHECK-NOT check that works on every input line
- Display available options

EXAMPLES

The following check file without--strict-whitespace.check:


CHECK: String1 String2 String3
will pass on any of the following inputs:


printf "String1 String2 String3" | filecheck without--strict-whitespace.check
printf "String1 String2 String3" | filecheck without--strict-whitespace.check
printf " String1String2String3 " | filecheck without--strict-whitespace.check
Adding --strict-whitespace disables this behavior.

The following check file without--match-full-lines.check:


CHECK: tring1
CHECK: ring2
CHECK: String3
will pass on the following input:


printf "String10tring20tring3" | filecheck without--match-full-lines.check
The --match-full-lines disables this behavior.
