This is the script that is run +to actually test the compiler. + +'objs-gcc.sh' takes a combined tree and builds (but does not test) the +tools required for 'btest-gcc.sh'. It is run periodically to update +the tools. This script is followed by running 'btest-gcc.sh' using +the newly-build tools to check that they will not cause regressions. + +'site.exp' is what $DEJAGNU points to when the regression tester runs +these scripts. + +'GCC_Regression_Tester.wdgt' is a Dashboard widget that displays the +current state of the tester using Javascript. You can use it without +needing Dashboard by pointing your web browser at +'GCC_Regression_Tester.wdgt/widget.html', if your browser supports +and permits it. + +Note that any changes made here need to be approved by the regression +tester's maintainer (see MAINTAINERS). The changes will be used on +the tester's next run, so `experimental' changes are very strongly +discouraged :-). |
