Testsuite custom environment (second try at posting)

[Stephen Biggs]

(My first message didn't get received. Sorry if any duplicates.)

I am trying to run 'make check-gcc' and wish to define my own set of
TORTURE_OPTIONS (specifically to do only "-O0").  I have tried different
things and nothing seems to work.  E.g.:
$ export TORTURE_OPTIONS="{ { -O0 } }" ; make check-gcc
$ make TORTURE_OPTIONS="{ { -O0 } }" check-gcc

The environment variable set is ignored and the full list of options is
applied. What am I doing wrong?  Is this a problem with how I specify it
to the shell?  This forces me to edit gcc/testsuite/lib/c-torture.exp
and put my own options in instead of what is there for TORTURE_OPTIONS.

Also, how do I specify
set_board_info gcc,no_label_values 1;
on the command line?  At the moment, I have a changed
gcc/testsuite/config/default.exp where I add this line to the end, and
this is not right.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Stephen

I don't know if you've worked this out in the six weeks since you
posted your message :-)  Anyway, it looks like no one answered ..

The problem is that c-torture.exp does not access TORTURE_OPTIONS from
the environment, but from the Tcl global variable space.  The easiest
way to alter this it to use something like this in your site-local
`site.exp' file:

   global TORTURE_OPTIONS
   set TORTURE_OPTIONS [list {-O0}]

The right way is to define a new board that is derived from (say)
`unix.exp' but modifies the board settings you are interested in.  You
can then specify that target board with --target_board in your
RUNTESTFLAGS.
