[swift-lldb-dev] swift-lldb release branches

[Jim Ingham]

It is run with the —test flag.  But you can also run it by hand (that’s primarily what I do):

$cd <LLDB_SOURCE_DIR>/test
$ ./dotest.py

Or if you just want to run the swift part of the test suite, do:

$ ./dotest.py testcases/lang/swift

So you have to build your binaries using the toolchain you built as part of building lldb.  If you are doing this all by hand to play around, you can just point at the compiler you've built (the lldb test suite does this automatically for all the tests it runs internally.)
