Bug ID: 103324
Summary: RFE: Add a `make quickcheck` or `make smoketest`
Makefile target to allow only running a portion of the
testsuite
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: testsuite
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: egallager at gcc dot gnu.org
CC: mikestump at comcast dot net, ro at CeBiTec dot

Target Milestone: ---
The GCC testsuite is very big, and running it can take a long time. It would be
nice if there were alternate `check` or `test` targets that could be used to
run just a random sampling of the testsuite, or just a subset of the testsuite
that is known to run quickly, for cases when I am feeling impatient and only
need to verify that basic functionality works, without checking for every
possible regression. I have seen other people mentioning that patches "seem to
work ok after smoketesting" so it would be nice if their method of smoketesting
were actually available for the rest of us to use.
