make test WAY=xxx broken
It seems like running
make test WAY=someWay
is broken. Looking at the runtest.py
, it seems that we parse the arguments to the test driver before reading the configuration file (e.g. config/ghc
), and thus the --way
flags arguments are not available.
E.g. the way options get populated, once the --config-file
argument is processed. But the argument parser seems to be eager and as such the handling of the --config-file
happens *after* all of the arguments have been parsed. Therefore the set of available --way
s are always the empty set.
I don't know if python2 was lazy here. But with python3
using --way
seems impossible.
