DBDigest tool.

Configuration

There are 2 kinds of configuration data for DBDigest.

• global configuration
• Test run data

Global configuration

This includes database configuration and run mode. the database configuration can be specified in 3 different ways:

• in the global /etc/dbdigest.ini
• the dbigest.cfg run file (deprecated)
• the command-line. (deprecated)

The global file is read first, if it exists. The dbdigest.cfg file is read next, and the command-line options are list:

The recommended way is to put it in the global config file, which has the following format (the values are examples):

[Database]
Name=testsuite
Host=localhost
username=user
password=secret
port=5432

In the 'dbdigest.cfg' file, the format is backwards-compatible:

databasename=NAME
host=HOST
password=PWD
username=USER

On the command-line the options are:

  -d --databasename=NAME            database name
  -h --host=HOST                    database hostname
  -p --password=PWD                 database user password
  -P --port=NNN                     database connection port
  -u --username=USER                database user name

Other than the database connection, the following global options can be given:

• -r --relsrcdir=DIR the relative source dir for getting test files.
• -S --testsrcdir=DIR the absolute test source dir
• -T --tasklist=FILE file with configuration file names to import.
• -j --taskcount=N Maximum number of threads to use when importing.
• -V --verbose be more verbose (writes lots of debug info)
• -f --config=FILENAME in case a single digest file is imported, the name of the config file. If not set, dbdigest.cfg is used.

If the -T --tasklist option is given, then -f/--config is ignored: no default file will be read. Only the files in the threadlist file will be treated.

Example of a thread list file (mytests.lst):

2025-05-01-i386/gcc-dbdigest.cfg
2025-05-01-arm/llvm-dbdigest.cfg

The logfile and longlogfile will be treated as relative to the dbdigest.cfg files if they are relative filenames. If they are absolute filenames, they're used as-is.

Test Run data

Run data describes one test run: basically, one dbdigest.cfg. For a single test run, the dbdigest.cfg file is read and the command-line options are examined to compose all data for a test run.

• -l --logfile=FILE set log file to analyse
• -L --longlogfile=FILE set long log filename (logs of run tests)
• -o --os=OS set OS for testrun
• -c --cpu=CPU set CPU
• -a --category=CAT set category
• -v --version=VER set compiler version
• -t --date=DATE date in YYYMMDD(hhmmnn) format (only the date part is retained)
• -s --submitter=NAME submitter name
• -m --machine=NAME set machine name on which testsuite was run
• -C --compile-flags=FLAGS set used compilation flags
• --comment=FLAGS backwards compatible way to set compilation flags (deprecated)
• -D --description=DESC set config description (helpful comment)
• --compilerdate=DATE set compiler date
• --compilerfullversion=VERSION set full compiler version
• --svncompilerrevision=REV set revision of used compiler
• --svntestsrevision=REV set revision of testsuite files
• --svnrtlrevision=REV set revision of RTL
• --svnpackagesrevision=REV set revison of packages

The preferred way to specify the options is in a dbdigest.cfg file. The name of this file is settable using the -f or --config command-line option.

The dbdigest.cfg accepts all long versions of the command-line options, and you can specify comments using the usual # sign.

Examples

Import data from a single testrun, with testrun data in mytest.cfg:

dbdigest -f mytest.lst

The database connection data will be read from the global configuration.

Import data from a list of testruns in mytests.lst (4 threads):

dbdigest -T mytests.lst

Import data from a list of testruns in mytests.lst (8 threads):

dbdigest -T mytests.lst -j 8

DBAdd tool.

To add new CPUs or OSes to the database, use the dbadd tool. It will use the global dbdigest.ini file to connect to the database, and will add the new record in the appropriate table. The tool accepts 3 command-line options:

• -t --type=TYPE where TYPE is one of os, cpu, category or version
• -v --value=value the value to add
• -d --date=YYYYMMDD only used when adding a version: the release date of the version (if not specified, today is used).

Test definitions are added automatically during import.
