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

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