This patch implements input annotations for diagnostics enabled by -v,
which report good matches for directives. These annotations mark
match ranges using ^~~.
For example:
$ FileCheck -dump-input=help The following description was requested by -dump-input=help to explain the input annotations printed by -dump-input=always and -dump-input=fail: - L: labels line number L of the input file - T:L labels the only match result for a pattern of type T from line L of the check file - T:L'N labels the Nth match result for a pattern of type T from line L of the check file - ^~~ marks good match (reported if -v) - !~~ marks bad match, such as: - CHECK-NEXT on same line as previous match (error) - CHECK-NOT found (error) - X~~ marks search range when no match is found, such as: - CHECK-NEXT not found (error) - ? marks fuzzy match when no match is found - colors success, error, fuzzy match, unmatched input If you are not seeing color above or in input dumps, try: -color $ FileCheck -v -dump-input=always check3 < input3 |& sed -n '/^<<<</,$p' <<<<<< 1: abc foobar def check:1 ^~~ not:2 !~~~~~ error: no match expected check:3 ^~~ >>>>>> $ cat check3 CHECK: abc CHECK-NOT: foobar CHECK: def $ cat input3 abc foobar def
-vv enables these annotations for FileCheck's implicit EOF patterns as
well. For an example where EOF patterns become relevant, see patch 7
in this series.
If colors are enabled, ^~~ is green to suggest success.
-v plus color enables highlighting of input text that has no final
match for any expected pattern. The highlight uses a cyan background
to suggest a cold section. This highlighting can make it easier to
spot text that was intended to be matched but that failed to be
matched in a long series of good matches.
CHECK-COUNT-<num> good matches are another case where there can be
multiple match results for the same directive.
For the case...
