Hi,
I use llvm-lit in my own project. Works fine so far.
However, executing the tests, I get output directories which are empty.
Whats the role of them? I could not find any hint in the docu.
I was expecting that e.g. for RUN: X, the output of X would be located
there.
I can use RUN: X > log, then I get a log file right besides the test
file, and not in oputput.
Where can I find more docu about the output directories?
Thx
Alex

The normal pattern (within llvm) to use lit tests is that they shouldn't write into the current directory. Instead use %t to get a base for a temporary pathname (which resides within the output directory). Here you could do e.g. "RUN X > %t.log".

I'm not aware of any docs specifically about the output directory in itself, but https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lit.html#pre-defined-substitutions describes the substitutions you can use to refer to source/temp paths.

Ok,
now it's clear, thanks!
