             Bug #: 55780
           Summary: effective targets arm_arch_v*_multilib are not strict
                    enough
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: testsuite
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: janis@gcc.gnu.org
                CC: rearnsha@arm.com
            Target: arm

The arm_arch_v*_multilib effective targets check that a minimal C program will
execute when compiled for a particular ARM processor, but the test used is an
empty program and the tests that use those checks have more complicated code. 
All of the effective target checks pass using the gdb arm simulator or QEMU,
but some of the ftest-*.c tests then get illegal instructions or hang.

Checks for the ability to run programs on particular hardware should include
code that will only run on that hardware, as is done for effective target whose
keywords end in "_hw_available".

The intention of arm_arch_v*_multilib is to check which multilibs available in
the toolchain rather than hardware capabilities. These effective target checks
fail at link time, but there is no check_link procedure in gcc/testsuite/lib so
check_runtime is used instead.

For example, using compiler with armv7a (cortex-a15) libraries only,
arm_arch_v6m_multilib effective target check fails and the test is UNSUPPORTED
in my setting on qemu:

$ cat arm_arch_v6m_multilib8582.c 
int
main (void)
{
  return 0;
}

$ /work/dec-builds/base/install/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc
arm_arch_v6m_multilib8582.c -fno-diagnostics-show-caret   -march=armv6-m
-mthumb -DSTACK_SIZE=16384 -lm   -o arm_arch_v6m_multilib8582.exe

Here's the configuration for the FSF mainline compiler I'm using:

Target: arm-none-eabi
Configured with:
/scratch/janisjo/build6/fsf-arm-eabi/src/gcc-mainline/configure
--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-none-eabi
--enable-threads --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libstdcxx-pch
--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-shared
--enable-lto --with-newlib --disable-nls --prefix=/opt/codesourcery
--with-headers=yes --with-sysroot=/opt/codesourcery/arm-none-eabi
--with-build-sysroot=/scratch/janisjo/build6/fsf-arm-eabi/install/arm-none-eabi
--disable-libgomp --disable-libitm 
Thread model: single
gcc version 4.8.0 20130103 (experimental) (GCC)

For this compiler, none of the links fail for the arm_arch_v*_multilib checks.
Some of those checks fail at runtime, causing ftest-*.c tests to be
UNSUPPORTED.  In more cases, the simulator passes when running the
arm_arch_v*_multilib check and then fails when running the test, causing it to
FAIL instead of being UNSUPPORTED.

It should be easy enough to add a check_link procedure, similar to
check_compile or check_runtime, but from I've seen that would pass with all of
these checks for my configuration.  I suspect that a more robust link check
would need target-specific code requiring calls to target-specific runtime
libraries.

A separate issue is that these checks are being used to determine whether or
not to skip "dg-do run" tests, and that those tests can be rewritten to check
the tested functionality at compile-time instead of run time; see
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-12/msg01339.html>.

Janis, 

Is this now "fixed" by changing all the tests to compile time only tests ?

The gcc.target/arm/ftest-*.c tests now work without hangs, but the effective
target checks are still in the testsuite available to be used by other tests
where they will show the same problems.  These effective target checks could be
useful, but not in their current state.
