Hello,
I wonder if I can write a test that runs only on Linux. I was thinking of adding “REQUIRES” to the test, but couldn’t find a feature name for Linux (if one exists). Thanks!
Best,

$ grep -r REQUIRES ../llvm/test/ | grep linux
The feature name you want is: "x86_64-linux"
Jon
Thanks Jon. Actually I tried “x86_64-linux”, but it makes the test “Unsupported” from my linux machine, and it was because my test is under clang, not llvm. It seems that clang doesn’t support “x86_64-linux” yet. Thanks again!

Oh, ok. Follow-up question: why is your clang test $host platform dependent (instead of $target dependent)?
Jon
It is $target dependent. I’m curious what makes you think it is $host dependent.

It is $target dependent. I’m curious what makes you think it is $host dependent.
Because you're asking about REQUIRES, which refers to features of the $host. If you just want to write a target dependent test, use -target / -triple.
Jon
Maybe I was totally confused. When I see /test/lit.cfg (https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/test/lit.cfg), some available_features are based on config.target_triple (e.g. https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/test/lit.cfg#L420), so I though REQUIRES is not necessarily about $host.

Because you're asking about REQUIRES, which refers to features of the

Subject: Re: [llvm-dev] [llvm-lit] Is it possible to write a test for
Linux only?Maybe I was totally confused. When I see /test/lit.cfg
(https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/test/lit.cfg), some
available_features are based on config.target_triple (e.g.
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/test/lit.cfg#L420), so I
though REQUIRES is not necessarily about $host.
REQUIRES is something of a grab bag. Some of its features are based on
host, I think some are based on other configuration things, and you can
also put elements of the target triple in there.
You could specify a target triple in your test, but that generally means
restricting it to both a particular architecture and a particular OS
(for example, x86_64-unknown-linux). If you want a test that runs on
any architecture but only for linux, I would expect `REQUIRES: linux` to
work, as it would look for `linux` as a target triple component.
There are some differences between the feature sets supported in the
LLVM suite versus the Clang suite, and without a bit more research
(which unfortunately I cannot do at the moment, I am away this weekend)
I can't be sure whether my suggestion actually works. 
But you could
try some experiments in this direction and see if you can get it to work.
Good luck,
