=head1 NAME

OptreeCheck - check optrees as rendered by B::Concise

=head1 SYNOPSIS

OptreeCheck supports regression testing of perl's parser, optimizer,
bytecode generator, via a single function: checkOptree(%args).  It
invokes B::Concise upon sample code, and checks that it 'agrees' with
reference renderings.

  checkOptree (
    name   => "test-name',	# optional, (synth from others)

    # 2 kinds of code-under-test: must provide 1
    code   => sub {my $a},	# coderef, or source (wrapped and evald)
    prog   => 'sort @a',	# run in subprocess, aka -MO=Concise

    bcopts => '-exec',		# $opt or \@opts, passed to BC::compile
    # errs   => '.*',		# match against any emitted errs, -w warnings
    # skip => 1,		# skips test
    # todo => 'excuse',		# anticipated failures
    # fail => 1			# force fail (by redirecting result)
    # debug => 1,		# turns on regex debug for match test !!
    # retry => 1		# retry with debug on test failure

    expect => <<'EOT_EOT', expect_nt => <<'EONT_EONT' );
 # 1  <;> nextstate(main 45 optree.t:23) v
 # 2  <0> padsv[$a:45,46] M/LVINTRO
 # 3  <1> leavesub[1 ref] K/REFC,1

=head1 checkOptree(%in) Overview

optreeCheck() calls getRendering(), which runs code or prog through
B::Concise, and captures its rendering.

It then calls mkCheckRex() to produce a regex which will match the
expected rendering, and fail when it doesn't match.

Finally, it compares the 2; like($rendering,/$regex/,$testname).


=head1 checkOptree(%Args) API

Accepts %Args, with following requirements and actions:

Either code or prog must be present.  prog is some source code, and is
passed through via test.pl:runperl, to B::Concise like this: (bcopts
are fixed up for cmdline)

    './perl -w -MO=Concise,$bcopts_massaged -e $src'

code is a subref, or $src, like above.  If it's not a subref, it's
treated like source-code, is wrapped as a subroutine, and is passed to
B::Concise::compile().

    $subref = eval "sub{$src}";
    B::Concise::compile($subref).

expect and expect_nt are the reference optree renderings.  Theyre
required, except when the code/prog compilation fails.

I suppose I should also explain these more, but they seem obvious.

    # prog   => 'sort @a',	# run in subprocess, aka -MO=Concise
    # noanchors => 1,		# no /^$/.  needed for 1-liners like above

    # skip => 1,		# skips test
    # todo => 'excuse',		# anticipated failures
    # fail => 1			# fails (by redirecting result)
    # debug => 1,		# turns on regex debug for match test !!
    # retry => 1		# retry with debug on test failure

=head1 Test Philosophy

2 platforms --> 2 reftexts: You want an accurate test, independent of
which platform you're on.  So, two refdata properties, 'expect' and
'expect_nt', carry renderings taken from threaded and non-threaded
builds.  This has several benefits:

 1. native reference data allows closer matching by regex.
 2. samples can be eyeballed to grok t-nt differences.
 3. data can help to validate mkCheckRex() operation.
 4. can develop regexes which accomodate t-nt differences.
 5. can test with both native and cross+converted regexes.

Cross-testing (expect_nt on threaded, expect on non-threaded) exposes
differences in B::Concise output, so mkCheckRex has code to do some
cross-test manipulations.  This area needs more work.

=head1 Test Modes

One consequence of a single-function API is difficulty controlling
test-mode.  Ive chosen for now to use a package hash, %gOpts, to store
test-state.  These properties alter checkOptree() function, either
short-circuiting to selftest, or running a loop that runs the testcase
2^N times, varying conditions each time.  (current N is 2 only).

So Test-mode is controlled with cmdline args, also called options below.
Run with 'help' to see the test-state, and how to change it.

=head2  selftest

This argument invokes runSelftest(), which tests a regex against the
reference renderings that they're made from.  Failure of a regex match
its 'mold' is a strong indicator that mkCheckRex is buggy.

That said, selftest mode currently runs a cross-test too, they're not
completely orthogonal yet.  See below.

=head2 testmode=cross

Cross-testing is purposely creating a T-NT mismatch, looking at the
fallout, and tweaking the regex to deal with it.  Thus tests lead to
'provably' complete understanding of the differences.

The tweaking appears contrary to the 2-refs philosophy, but the tweaks
will be made in conversion-specific code, which (will) handles T->NT
and NT->T separately.  The tweaking is incomplete.

A reasonable 1st step is to add tags to indicate when TonNT or NTonT
is known to fail.  This needs an option to force failure, so the
test.pl reporting mechanics show results to aid the user.

=head2 testmode=native

This is normal mode.  Other valid values are: native, cross, both.

=head2 checkOptree Notes

Accepts test code, renders its optree using B::Concise, and matches that
rendering against a regex built from one of 2 reference-renderings %in data.

The regex is built by mkCheckRex(\%in), which scrubs %in data to
remove match-irrelevancies, such as (args) and [args].  For example,
it strips leading '# ', making it easy to cut-paste new tests into
your test-file, run it, and cut-paste actual results into place.  You
then retest and reedit until all 'errors' are gone.  (now make sure you
haven't 'enshrined' a bug).

name: The test name.  May be augmented by a label, which is built from
important params, and which helps keep names in sync with whats being
tested.'

=head1 mkCheckRex

mkCheckRex receives the full testcase object, and constructs a regex.
1st, it selects a reftxt from either the expect or expect_nt items.

Once selected, the reftext is massaged & converted into a Regex that
accepts 'good' concise renderings, with appropriate input variations,
but is otherwise as strict as possible.  For example, it should *not*
match when opcode flags change, or when optimizations convert an op to
an ex-op.

selection is driven by platform mostly, but also by test-mode, which
rather complicates the code.  this is worsened by the potential need
to make platform specific conversions on the reftext.

=head2 match criteria

Opcode arguments (text within braces) are disregarded for matching
purposes.  This loses some info in 'add[t5]', but greatly simplifys
matching 'nextstate(main 22 (eval 10):1)'.  Besides, we are testing
for regressions, not for complete accuracy.

The regex is anchored by default, but can be suppressed with
'noanchors', allowing 1-liner tests to succeed if opcode is found.

=head1 TEST DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT

This optree regression testing framework needs tests in order to find
bugs.  To that end, OptreeCheck has support for developing new tests,
according to the following model:

 1. write a set of sample code into a single file, one per
    paragraph.  f_map and f_sort in ext/B/t/ are examples.

 2. run OptreeCheck as a program on the file

   ./perl -Ilib ext/B/t/OptreeCheck.pm -w ext/B/t/f_map
   ./perl -Ilib ext/B/t/OptreeCheck.pm -w ext/B/t/f_sort

   gentest reads the sample code, runs each to generate a reference
   rendering, folds this rendering into an optreeCheck() statement,
   and prints it to stdout.

 3. run the output file as above, redirect to files, then rerun on
    same build (for sanity check), and on thread-opposite build.  With
    editor in 1 window, and cmd in other, it's fairly easy to cut-paste
    the gots into the expects, easier than running step 2 on both
    builds then trying to sdiff them together.

=head1 TODO

There's a considerable amount of cruft in the whole arg-handling setup.
I'll replace / strip it before 5.10

Treat %in as a test object, interwork better with Test::*

Refactor mkCheckRex() and selfTest() to isolate the selftest,
crosstest, etc selection mechanics.

improve retry, retrydbg, esp. it's control of eval "use re debug".
This seems to work part of the time, but isn't stable enough.

=head1 CAVEATS

This code is purely for testing core. While checkOptree feels flexible
enough to be stable, the whole selftest framework is subject to change
w/o notice.
