| >There are two slightly different ways to add a test |
| case. One is to add the test case to an existing directory. The |
| other is to create a new directory to hold your test. The |
| existing test directories represent several styles of testing, |
| all of which are slightly different; examine the directories for |
| the tool of interest to see which (if any) is most suitable.</P |
| ><P |
| >Adding a GCC test can be very simple: just add the C code |
| to any directory beginning with <TT |
| CLASS="FILENAME" |
| >gcc</TT |
| >. and it |
| runs on the next <TABLE |

| >To add a test to GDB, first add any source code you will |
| need to the test directory. Then you can either create a new |
| expect file, or add your test to an existing one (any |
| file with a <I |
| CLASS="EMPHASIS" |
| >.exp</I |
| > suffix). Creating a new |
| .exp file is probably a better idea if the test is significantly |
| different from existing tests. Adding it as a separate file also |
| makes upgrading easier. If the C code has to be already compiled |
| before the test will run, then you'll have to add it to the |
| <TT |
| CLASS="FILENAME" |
| >Makefile.in</TT |
| > file for that test directory, |
| then run <B |
| CLASS="COMMAND" |
| >configure</B |
| > and |
| <B |
| CLASS="COMMAND" |
| >make</B |
| >.</P |
| ><P |
| >Adding a test by creating a new directory is very |
| similar:</P |

| >Create the new directory. All subdirectory names |
| begin with the name of the tool to test; e.g. G++ tests might be |
| in a directory called <TT |
| CLASS="FILENAME" |
| >g++.other</TT |
| >. There can |
| be multiple test directories that start with the same tool name |
| (such as <I |
| CLASS="EMPHASIS" |
| >g++</I |
| >).</P |

| CLASS="SYMBOL" |
| >configdirs</SPAN |
| > definition in the |
| <TT |
| CLASS="FILENAME" |
| >configure.in</TT |
| > file for the testsuite |
| directory. This way when <B |
