+<dd>For now, LLVM does not have a Fortran front-end, but using F2C, we can run
+Fortran benchmarks. F2C support must be enabled via <tt>configure</tt> if not
+installed in a standard place. F2C requires three items: the <tt>f2c</tt>
+executable, <tt>f2c.h</tt> to compile the generated code, and <tt>libf2c.a</tt>
+to link generated code. By default, given an F2C directory <tt>$DIR</tt>, the
+configure script will search <tt>$DIR/bin</tt> for <tt>f2c</tt>,
+<tt>$DIR/include</tt> for <tt>f2c.h</tt>, and <tt>$DIR/lib</tt> for
+<tt>libf2c.a</tt>. The default <tt>$DIR</tt> values are: <tt>/usr</tt>,
+<tt>/usr/local</tt>, <tt>/sw</tt>, and <tt>/opt</tt>. If you installed F2C in a
+different location, you must tell <tt>configure</tt>:
+
+<ul>
+<li><tt>./configure --with-f2c=$DIR</tt><br>
+This will specify a new <tt>$DIR</tt> for the above-described search
+process. This will only work if the binary, header, and library are in their
+respective subdirectories of <tt>$DIR</tt>.</li>
+
+<li><tt>./configure --with-f2c-bin=/binary/path --with-f2c-inc=/include/path
+--with-f2c-lib=/lib/path</tt><br>
+This allows you to specify the F2C components separately. Note: if you choose
+this route, you MUST specify all three components, and you need to only specify
+<em>directories</em> where the files are located; do NOT include the
+filenames themselves on the <tt>configure</tt> line.</li>

+<p>The LLVM test suite is partially driven by DejaGNU and partially
+driven by GNU Make. Specifically, the Features and Regression tests
+are all driven by DejaGNU. The <tt>llvm-test</tt>
+module is currently driven by a set of Makefiles.</p>
+
+<p>The DejaGNU structure is very simple, but does require some
+information to be set. This information is gathered via <tt>configure</tt> and
+is written to a file, <tt>site.exp</tt> in <tt>llvm/test</tt>. The
+<tt>llvm/test</tt>
+Makefile does this work for you.</p>
+
+<p>In order for DejaGNU to work, each directory of tests must have a
+<tt>dg.exp</tt> file. This file is a program written in tcl that calls
+the <tt>llvm-runtests</tt> procedure on each test file. The
+llvm-runtests procedure is defined in
+<tt>llvm/test/lib/llvm-dg.exp</tt>. Any directory that contains only
+directories does not need the <tt>dg.exp</tt> file.</p>
+
+<p>In order for a test to be run, it must contain information within
+the test file on how to run the test. These are called <tt>RUN</tt>
+lines. Run lines are specified in the comments of the test program
+using the keyword <tt>RUN</tt> followed by a colon, and lastly the
+commands to execute. These commands will be executed in a bash script,
+so any bash syntax is acceptable. You can specify as many RUN lines as
+necessary. Each RUN line translates to one line in the resulting bash
+script. Below is an example of legal RUN lines in a <tt>.ll</tt>
+file:</p>
+<pre>
+; RUN: llvm-as < %s | llvm-dis > %t1
+; RUN: llvm-dis < %s.bc-13 > %t2
+; RUN: diff %t1 %t2
+</pre>
+<p>There are a couple patterns within a <tt>RUN</tt> line that the
+llvm-runtest procedure looks for and replaces with the appropriate
+syntax:</p>
+
+<dl style="margin-left: 25px">
+<dt>%p</dt>
+<dd>The path to the source directory. This is for locating
+any supporting files that are not generated by the test, but used by
+the test.</dd>
+<dt>%s</dt>
+<dd>The test file.</dd>
+
+<dt>%t</dt>
+<dd>Temporary filename: testscript.test_filename.tmp, where
+test_filename is the name of the test file. All temporary files are
+placed in the Output directory within the directory the test is
+located.</dd>
+
+<dt>%prcontext</dt>
+<dd>Path to a script that performs grep -C. Use this since not all
+platforms support grep -C.</dd>
+
+<dt>%llvmgcc</dt> <dd>Full path to the llvm-gcc executable.</dd>
+<dt>%llvmgxx</dt> <dd>Full path to the llvm-g++ executable.</dd>
+</dl>
-<p>The LLVM test suite is partially driven by QMTest and partially driven by GNU
-Make. Specifically, the Features and Regression tests are all driven by QMTest.
-The <tt>llvm-test</tt> module is currently driven by a set of Makefiles.</p>
-
-<p>The QMTest system needs to have several pieces of information available;
-these pieces of configuration information are known collectively as the
-"context" in QMTest parlance. Since the context for LLVM is relatively large,
-the master Makefile in llvm/test sets it for you.</p>
-
-<p>The LLVM database class makes the subdirectories of llvm/test a QMTest test
-database. For each directory that contains tests driven by QMTest, it knows
-what type of test the source file is and how to run it.</p>
-
-<p>Hence, the QMTest namespace is essentially what you see in the Feature and
-Regression directories, but there is some magic that the database class performs
-(as described below).</p>
-
-<p>The QMTest namespace is currently composed of the following tests and test
-suites:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Feature
-
-<p>These are the feature tests found in the Feature directory.
-They are broken up into the following categories:</p>
+<p>There are also several scripts in the llvm/test/Scripts directory
+that you might find useful when writing <tt>RUN</tt> lines.</p>
-<ul>
- <li>ad
- <p>Assembler/Disassembler tests. These tests verify that a piece of LLVM
- assembly language can be assembled into bytecode and then disassembled
- into the original assembly language code. It does this several times to
- ensure that assembled output can be disassembled and disassembler output
- can be assembled. It also verifies that the give assembly language file
- can be assembled correctly.</p></li>
-
- <li>opt
- <p>Optimizer tests. These tests verify that two of the optimizer passes
- completely optimize a program (i.e. after a single pass, they cannot
- optimize a program any further).</p></li>
-
- <li>mc
- <p> Machine code tests. These tests verify that the LLVM assembly
- language file can be translated into native assembly code.</p></li>
-
- <li>cc
- <p>C code tests. These tests verify that the specified LLVM assembly
- code can be converted into C source code using the C backend.</p></li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>The LLVM database class looks at every file in the Feature directory and
-creates a fake test hierarchy containing
-<tt>Feature.<testtype>.<testname></tt>. So, if you add an LLVM
-assembly language file to the Feature directory, it actually creates 5 new
-tests: assembler/disassembler, assembler, optimizer, machine code, and C code.
-</p></li>
-
-<li>Regression
- <p>These are the regression tests. There is one suite for each
- subdirectory of the Regression directory. If you add a new subdirectory
- there, you will need to modify, at least, the <tt>RegressionMap</tt>
- variable in <tt>QMTest/llvmdb.py</tt> so that QMTest knows how to run the
- tests in the new subdirectory.</p>
-</li>
+<p>Lastly, you can easily mark a test that is expected to fail on a
+specific platform by using the <tt>XFAIL</tt> keyword. Xfail lines are
+specified in the comments of the test program using <tt>XFAIL</tt>,
+followed by a colon, and one or more regular expressions (separated by
+a comma) that will match against the target triplet for the
+machine. You can use * to match all targets. Here is an example of an
+<tt>XFAIL</tt> line:</p>
+<pre>
+; XFAIL: darwin,sun

own TEST Makefile for any optimization or analysis passes that you develop with

+ <dd>

+ <tt>directory</tt>, you can tell configure where to find the SPEC2000
+ benchmarks. If <tt>directory</tt> is left unspecified, <tt>configure</tt>
+ uses the default value
+ <tt>/home/vadve/shared/benchmarks/speccpu2000/benchspec</tt>.

+ Enable the use of SPEC95 when testing LLVM. It is similar to the
