Definitely. It's very important to us that this backend should become an accepted "don't break it" target as quickly as possible, which means we need it to be well-tested with a quick turnaround at every commit. We're still looking into options. Since models run at about 100 MIPS on a good day, the usual native build probably won't be viable until real hardware comes. But we do plan to setup "virtual" bots quickly. I personally favour: build an AArch64-native Clang on x86; dispatch an llvm-regression run and a clang-regression run to models (each takes ~5 hours). Alternatives might involve the llvm testsuite (> 1 day, probably not useful). Or SPEC runs (similar times, but even more difficult for others to investigate when it breaks; possible licensing issues anyway). Any suggestions or comments from you or anyone else would be extremely welcome in this area. We're very willing to do what the community thinks is best to get testing underway. Cheers. Tim. _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
