From a2c21d47a8cd6a1a633491fb58b9d3b1c45c965d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Reinhardt Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:03:42 -0800 Subject: tests: suppress output on switcheroo tests The output from the switcheroo tests is voluminous and (because it includes timestamps) highly sensitive to minor changes, leading to extremely large updates to the reference outputs. This patch addresses this problem by suppressing output from the tests. An internal parameter can be set to enable the output. Wiring that up to a command-line flag (perhaps even the rudimantary -v/-q options in m5/main.py) is left for future work. --- tests/configs/switcheroo.py | 15 +++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'tests') diff --git a/tests/configs/switcheroo.py b/tests/configs/switcheroo.py index 4b2dd9a69..05d3af2da 100644 --- a/tests/configs/switcheroo.py +++ b/tests/configs/switcheroo.py @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ class Sequential: def first(self): return self.cpus[self.first_cpu] -def run_test(root, switcher=None, freq=1000): +def run_test(root, switcher=None, freq=1000, verbose=False): """Test runner for CPU switcheroo tests.
