[Qemu-devel] [ARM] Contributing tests for Neon

[Christophe Lyon]

Hi all,

I have developed some tests for ARM-Neon in the form of C sources files calling 
ARM Neon intrinsics, and comparing the results of the resulting program with a 
known reference (eg execution on actual CPU) shows if the execution engine is 
follows the spec.

These tests currently represent 750KB of sources (150 files, 12000 lines), and 
I would like to contribute them to the qemu testing infrastructure.

I have a few questions on how to proceed:
- we wish to release the files under the MIT license, is it OK to deliver them 
as-is in the 'tests' qemu subdir?
- given the size of the whole stuff, I don't think it's suitable that I send it 
on the list for review, what should I do?
- at the time of writing, GCC/ARM fails to compile those tests correctly, and I 
rely on ARM's compiler to generate my reference executable and output. Is it 
acceptable that the Makefile references armcc?

Thanks,

Christophe.
