Lit as it exists today has three hacks that allow users to run tests earlier: 1) An entire test suite can set the `is_early` boolean. 2) A very recently introduced "early_tests" feature. 3) The `--incremental` flag forces failing tests to run first. All of these approaches have problems. 1) The `is_early` feature was until very recently undocumented. Nevertheless it still lacks testing and is a imprecise way of optimizing test starting times. 2) The `early_tests` feature requires manual updates and doesn't scale. 3) `--incremental` is undocumented, untested, and it requires modifying the *source* file system by "touching" the file. This "touch" based approach is arguably a hack because it confuses editors (because it looks like the test was modified behind the back of the editor) and "touching" the test source file doesn't work if the test suite is read only from the perspective of `lit` (via advanced filesystem/build tricks). This patch attempts to simplify and address all of the above problems. This patch formalizes, documents, tests, and defaults lit to recording the execution time of tests and then reordering all tests during the next execution. By reordering the tests, high core count machines run faster, sometimes significantly so. This patch also always runs failing tests first, which is a positive user experience win for those that didn't know about the hidden `--incremental` flag. Finally, if users want, they can _optionally_ commit the test timing data (or a subset thereof) back to the repository to accelerate bots and first-time runs of the test suite.

LLVM Documentation ================== LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <https://llvm.org/docs/> and updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below. If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do: cd <build-dir> cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir> make -j3 docs-llvm-html $BROWSER <build-dir>/docs//html/index.html The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is `docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `https://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`. If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read `SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText markup syntax. Manpage Output =============== Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`. cd <build-dir> cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir> make -j3 docs-llvm-man man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1 The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is `docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`. These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also viewable online (as noted above) at e.g. `https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`. Checking links ============== The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by running: cd docs/ make -f Makefile.sphinx linkcheck Doxygen page Output ============== Install doxygen <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>. cd <build-dir> cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir> make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs make doxygen-clang # for clang docs It will generate html in <build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs <build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
