Jon Ross-Perkins 2ecab78297 Support multi-file lex printing and testing. (#3214)
Lex now prints its yaml as:
```
- filename: name
  tokens: [ ... ]
```

New support in file_test allows the `filename` marker at the top to
define the default file number for later lines, meaning multi-file
output from lexing is now associated with the appropriate file. Similar
support will probably also apply to lowering, semir, and other places
that print a filename once for the full dump.

This hammers a bit at how line number replacements work in file_test,
allowing stacking them so that lex errors and stdout can both be
line-associated properly. I've tried to make the autoupdate more
frequently work in one pass, now also taking into account the file index
when doing line replacements.

There are still some issues with EndOfFile that it may be good to
discuss: because CHECK lines are appended to the end of the file now,
and the EndOfFile token points at the last line including comments, new
lex tests now take two runs to autoupdate (because without CHECK lines,
the EndOfFile points at a content line, which content is then inserted
after). Note that removing CHECK lines from the test is not a solution:
autoupdate also started inserting blank lines, which breaks this for a
similar reason. One solution here might be to not have EndOfFile
associate with a line or column, which has been a bit of an issue
regardless.

Also fixes a small issue with toolchain's autoupdate script.

file_test

BUILD

A typical BUILD target will look like:

load("rules.bzl", "file_test")

file_test(
    name = "my_file_test",
    srcs = ["my_file_test.cpp"],
    tests = glob(["testdata/**"]),
    deps = [
        ":my_lib",
        "//testing/file_test:file_test_base",
        "@com_google_googletest//:gtest",
        "@llvm-project//llvm:Support",
    ],
)

Implementation

A typical implementation will look like:

#include "my_library.h"

#include "llvm/ADT/StringExtras.h"
#include "testing/file_test/file_test_base.h"

namespace Carbon::Testing {
namespace {

class MyFileTest : public FileTestBase {
 public:
  using FileTestBase::FileTestBase;

  // Called as part of individual test executions.
  auto Run(const llvm::SmallVector<llvm::StringRef>& test_args,
           const llvm::SmallVector<TestFile>& test_files,
           llvm::raw_pwrite_stream& stdout, llvm::raw_pwrite_stream& stderr)
      -> ErrorOr<bool> override {
    MyFunctionality(test_args, stdout, stderr);
  }

  // Provides arguments which are used in tests that don't provide ARGS.
  auto GetDefaultArgs() -> llvm::SmallVector<std::string> override {
    return {"default_args", "%s"};
  }
};

}  // namespace

// Registers for the framework to construct the tests.
CARBON_FILE_TEST_FACTORY(MyFileTest);

}  // namespace Carbon::Testing

Comment markers

Settings in files are provided in comments, similar to FileCheck syntax. bazel run :file_test -- --autoupdate automatically constructs compatible CHECK:STDOUT: and CHECK:STDERR: lines.

Supported comment markers are:

  • // AUTOUDPATE
    // NOAUTOUPDATE
    

    Controls whether the checks in the file will be autoupdated if --autoupdate is passed. Exactly one of these two markers must be present. If the file uses splits, AUTOUPDATE must currently be before any splits.

    When autoupdating, CHECKs will be inserted starting below AUTOUPDATE. When a CHECK has line information, autoupdate will try to insert the CHECK immediately next to the line it's associated with, with stderr CHECKs preceding the line and stdout CHECKs following the line. When that happens, any subsequent CHECK lines without line information, or that refer to lines appearing earlier, will immediately follow. As an exception, if no STDOUT check line refers to any line in the test, all STDOUT check lines are placed at the end of the file instead of immediately after AUTOUPDATE.

  • // ARGS: <arguments>

    Provides a space-separated list of arguments, which will be passed to RunWithFiles as test_args. These are intended for use by the command as arguments.

    Supported replacements within arguments are:

    • %s

      Replaced with the list of files. Currently only allowed as a standalone argument, not a substring.

    • %t

      Replaced with ${TEST_TMPDIR}/temp_file.

    ARGS can be specified at most once. If not provided, the FileTestBase child is responsible for providing default arguments.

  • // SET-CHECK-SUBSET

    By default, all lines of output must have a CHECK match. Adding this as a option sets it so that non-matching lines are ignored. All provided CHECK:STDOUT: and CHECK:STDERR: lines must still have a match in output.

    SET-CHECK-SUBSET can be specified at most once.

  • // --- <filename>

    By default, all file content is provided to the test as a single file in test_files. Using this marker allows the file to be split into multiple files which will all be passed to test_files.

    Files are not created on disk; it's expected the child will create an InMemoryFilesystem if needed.

  • // CHECK:STDOUT: <output line>
    // CHECK:STDERR: <output line>
    

    These provide a match for output from the command. See SET-CHECK-SUBSET for how to change from full to subset matching of output.

    Output line matchers may contain [[@LINE+offset] and {{regex}} syntaxes, similar to FileCheck.
