Just recently I figured out how to successfully run dotest.py on a 64-bit linux. I ran it from the command line as follows:

$ my-lldb-source-directory/test >
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my-build-directory/lib/
PYTHONPATH=/my-build-directory/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
python dotest.py --executable=/my-build-directorybin/lldb -v --compiler=gcc -q .

The above incarnation took some time to figure out!

I guess what I'm saying is if dotest.py is changed in such a way that it needs to be run using another tool, and/or if the -arch setting must be passed in, then this should be documented *within* dotest.py itself.

Well I guess it would be helpful to know how you run the tests. Do you run dotest.py from the command line? Or do you have a tool that drives the script? Because if it's the latter, then the tool can just pass in whatever architectures it wants. I have a patch to the CMake build right now that makes the CMake build always pass in the target architectures. So that will remove the need for this logic for anyone running tests via CMake. But I'm not sure what you do on Mac.

I guess what I'm saying is that complicated logic is fine if it's useful. I just don't know if it's useful (maybe it is, but I don't know what the workflow is like on Mac). If you guys are already running all the tests via a tool that passes in --arch on the command line, or if you're willing to change whatever tool you do use (the Xcode project?) to pass in --arch, then the logic here probably isn't that useful.

    If the logic is broken, please fix, but don't remove or simplify

    darwin) supports both x86_64 and i386 binaries, that the tests run
    for both so we cover all bases and know if something fails for 32
    or 64 bit. Sounds like on Windows you only want to run x86_64 for
    64 bit machines or i386 for 32 bit machine right?

    Just make sure Darwin runs both with what ever fix you make.

    kind of magical and hand-wavy.  There's no indication of why it
    makes sense that Darwin+x64 system would default to running both
    x64 and x86 tests, or why linux gcc x64 would run only x64 tests
    but not x86 tests, even though linux clang x64 would run both sets
    of tests.

     Is there any reason we can't just keep it as simple as "If it's
    on the command line, use it, otherwise default to running only the
    tests corresponding to the system platform?"
