Expensive selftests: torture testing for fix-it boundary conditions (PR c/82050)
This patch adds selftest coverage for the fix for PR c/82050.
The selftest iterates over various "interesting" column and line-width
values to try to shake out bugs in the fix-it printing routines, a kind
of "torture" selftest.
Unfortunately this selftest is noticably slower than the other selftests;
adding it to diagnostic-show-locus.c led to:
-fself-test: 40218 pass(es) in 0.172000 seconds
slowing down to:
-fself-test: 97315 pass(es) in 6.109000 seconds
for an unoptimized build (e.g. when hacking with --disable-bootstrap).
Given that this affects the compile-edit-test cycle of the "gcc"
subdirectory, this felt like an unacceptable amount of overhead to add.
I attempted to optimize the test by reducing the amount of coverage, but
the test seems useful, and there seems to be a valid role for "torture"
selftests.
Hence this patch adds a:
gcc.dg/plugin/expensive_selftests_plugin.c
with the responsibility for running "expensive" selftests, and adds the
expensive test there. The patch moves a small amount of code from
selftest::run_tests into a helper class so that the plugin can print
a useful summary line (to reassure us that the tests are actually being
run).
With that, the compile-edit-test cycle of the "gcc" subdir is unaffected;
the plugin takes:
expensive_selftests_plugin: 26641 pass(es) in 3.127000 seconds
which seems reasonable within the much longer time taken by "make check"
(I optimized some of the overhead away, hence the reduction from 6 seconds
above down to 3 seconds).
