#!/usr/bin/env python # # The way you use this is you create a script that takes in as its first # argument a count. The script passes into LLVM the count via a command # line flag that disables a pass after LLVM has run after the pass has # run for count number of times. Then the script invokes a test of some # sort and indicates whether LLVM successfully compiled the test via the # scripts exit status. Then you invoke bisect as follows: # # bisect --start=<start_num> --end=<end_num> ./script.sh "%(count)s" # # And bisect will continually call ./script.sh with various counts using # the exit status to determine success and failure. # from __future__ import print_function import os import sys import argparse import subprocess parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument('--start', type=int, default=0) parser.add_argument('--end', type=int, default=(1 << 32)) parser.add_argument('command', nargs='+') args = parser.parse_args() start = args.start end = args.end print("Bisect Starting!") print("Start: %d" % start) print("End: %d" % end) last = None while start != end and start != end-1: count = start + (end - start)//2 print("Visiting Count: %d with (Start, End) = (%d,%d)" % (count, start, end)) cmd = [x % {'count':count} for x in args.command] print(cmd) result = subprocess.call(cmd) if result == 0: print(" PASSES!
