lldbtest.py

"""
LLDB module which provides the abstract base class of lldb test case.

The concrete subclass can override lldbtest.TesBase in order to inherit the
common behavior for unitest.TestCase.setUp/tearDown implemented in this file.

The subclass should override the attribute mydir in order for the python runtime
to locate the individual test cases when running as part of a large test suite
or when running each test case as a separate python invocation.

./dotest.py provides a test driver which sets up the environment to run the
entire of part of the test suite .  Example:

# Exercises the test suite in the types directory....
/Volumes/data/lldb/svn/ToT/test $ ./dotest.py -A x86_64 types
...

Session logs for test failures/errors/unexpected successes will go into directory '2012-05-16-13_35_42'
Command invoked: python ./dotest.py -A x86_64 types
compilers=['clang']

Configuration: arch=x86_64 compiler=clang
