# run_dump_test FILE (optional:) EXTRA_OPTIONS
# Copied from gas testsuite, tweaked and further extended.
#
# Assemble a .s file, then run some utility on it and check the output.
#
# There should be an assembly language file named FILE.s in the test
# suite directory, and a pattern file called FILE.d.  `run_dump_test'
# will assemble FILE.s, run some tool like `objdump', `objcopy', or
# `nm' on the .o file to produce textual output, and then analyze that
# with regexps.  The FILE.d file specifies what program to run, and
# what to expect in its output.
#
# The FILE.d file begins with zero or more option lines, which specify
# flags to pass to the assembler, the program to run to dump the
# assembler's output, and the options it wants.  The option lines have
# the syntax:
#
#         # OPTION: VALUE
#
# OPTION is the name of some option, like "name" or "objdump", and
# VALUE is OPTION's value.  The valid options are described below.
# Whitespace is ignored everywhere, except within VALUE.  The option
# list ends with the first line that doesn't match the above syntax
# (hmm, not great for error detection).
#
# The optional EXTRA_OPTIONS argument to `run_dump_test' is a list of
# two-element lists.  The first element of each is an option name, and
# the second additional arguments to be added on to the end of the
# option list as given in FILE.d.  (If omitted, no additional options
# are added.)
#
# The interesting options are:
#
#   name: TEST-NAME
#       The name of this test, passed to DejaGNU's `pass' and `fail'
#       commands.  If omitted, this defaults to FILE, the root of the
#       .s and .d files' names.
#
#   as: FLAGS
#       When assembling, pass FLAGS to the assembler.
#       If assembling several files, you can pass different assembler
#       options in the "source" directives.  See below.
#
#   ld: FLAGS
#       Link assembled files using FLAGS, in the order of the "source"
#       directives, when using multiple files.
#
#   ld_after_inputfiles: FLAGS
#       Similar to "ld", but put after all input files.
#
#   objcopy_linked_file: FLAGS
#       Run objcopy on the linked file with the specified flags.
#       This lets you transform the linked file using objcopy, before the
#       result is analyzed by an analyzer program specified below (which
#       may in turn *also* be objcopy).
#
#   PROG: PROGRAM-NAME
#       The name of the program to run to analyze the .o file produced
#       by the assembler or the linker output.  This can be omitted;
#       run_dump_test will guess which program to run by seeing which of
#       the flags options below is present.
#
#   objdump: FLAGS
#   nm: FLAGS
#   objcopy: FLAGS
#       Use the specified program to analyze the assembler or linker
#       output file, and pass it FLAGS, in addition to the output name.
#       Note that they are run with LC_ALL=C in the environment to give
#       consistent sorting of symbols.
#
#   source: SOURCE [FLAGS]
#       Assemble the file SOURCE.s using the flags in the "as" directive
#       and the (optional) FLAGS.  If omitted, the source defaults to
#       FILE.s.
#       This is useful if several .d files want to share a .s file.
#       More than one "source" directive can be given, which is useful
#       when testing linking.
#
#   dump: DUMP
#       Match against DUMP.d.  If omitted, this defaults to FILE.d.  This
#       is useful if several .d files differ by options only.  Options are
#       always read from FILE.d.
#
#   xfail: TARGET
#       The test is expected to fail on TARGET.  This may occur more than
#       once.
#
#   target: TARGET
#       Only run the test for TARGET.  This may occur more than once; the
#       target being tested must match at least one.  You may provide target
#       name "cfi" for any target supporting the CFI statements.
#
#   notarget: TARGET
#       Do not run the test for TARGET.  This may occur more than once;
#       the target being tested must not match any of them.
#
#   error: REGEX
#       An error with message matching REGEX must be emitted for the test
#       to pass.  The PROG, objdump, nm and objcopy options have no
#       meaning and need not supplied if this is present.  Multiple "error"
#       directives append to the expected linker error message.
#
#   warning: REGEX
#       Expect a linker warning matching REGEX.  It is an error to issue
#       both "error" and "warning".  Multiple "warning" directives
#       append to the expected linker warning message.
#
# Each option may occur at most once unless otherwise mentioned.
#
# After the option lines come regexp lines.  `run_dump_test' calls
# `regexp_diff' to compare the output of the dumping tool against the
# regexps in FILE.d.  `regexp_diff' is defined in binutils-common.exp;
# see further comments there.
