glibc Validator (glibc_validator.sh) - glibc Validator (glibc_validator.sh) - 5.3 English - 57404

The glibc validator validates AOCL-LibMem implementations against glibc’s official test suite. The glibc_validator.sh script automates downloading, patching, compiling, and running glibc test files with LD_PRELOAD to test LibMem implementations.

Prerequisites:

• GCC compiler

• curl (for downloading test files)

• AOCL-LibMem built and installed (shared library available under <build_dir>/lib/)

Running All Tests:

After building and installing AOCL-LibMem, run the script from the build directory:

$ cd <build_dir>
$ ./tools/validator/glibc/glibc_validator.sh

The script will:

• Download test files for all supported functions from the official glibc repository

• Apply minimal patches to make tests compile standalone

• Compile all tests into <build_dir>/test/glibc-functionality-tests/bin/

• Run each test with LD_PRELOAD

• Display a summary of passed/failed tests

Running Individual Tests:

After running the validator script once, individual tests can be run manually:

# Run a specific test with AOCL-LibMem
$ LD_PRELOAD=<build_dir>/lib/libaocl-libmem.so <build_dir>/test/glibc-functionality-tests/bin/test-strlen

# Run a specific test without AOCL-LibMem (system glibc)
$ <build_dir>/test/glibc-functionality-tests/bin/test-strlen

Supported Functions:

• Memory: memcpy, mempcpy, memmove, memset, memcmp, memchr

• String: strcpy, strncpy, strcmp, strncmp, strlen, strcat, strncat, strstr, strchr, strnlen, strspn
