Codegen Tests

This directory contains the test assets used by the automated codegen test runner.

Each test is structured as a source [name].s PPC assembly file and the generated outputs. The outputs are made using the custom build of binutils setup when xenia-build setup is called and are checked in to make it easier to run the tests on Windows.

Tests are run using the xenia-test app or via xenia-build test.

Execution

The test binary is placed into memory at 0x82010000 and all other memory is zeroed.

All registers are reset to zero. In order to provide useful inputs tests can specify # REGISTER_IN values.

The code is jumped into at the starting address and executed until the last instruction in the input file is reached.

After all instructions complete any # REGISTER_OUT values are checked and if they do not match the test is failed.

Annotations

Annotations can appear at any line in a file. If a number is required it can be in either hex or decimal form, or IEEE if floating-point.

REGISTER_IN

# REGISTER_IN [register name] [register value]

Sets the value of a register prior to executing the instructions.

Examples:

# REGISTER_IN r4 0x1234
# REGISTER_IN r4 5678

REGISTER_OUT

# REGISTER_OUT [register name] [register value]

Defines the expected register value when the instructions have executed. If after all instructions have completed the register value does not match the value given here the test will fail.

Examples:

# REGISTER_OUT r3 123
