<h3 class="section">7.3 Ada Language Testsuites</h3>
<p>The Ada testsuite includes executable tests from the ACATS
testsuite, publicly available at
<a href="http://www.ada-auth.org/acats.html">http://www.ada-auth.org/acats.html</a>.
<p>These tests are integrated in the GCC testsuite in the
<samp><span class="file">ada/acats</span></samp> directory, and
enabled automatically when running <code>make check</code>, assuming
the Ada language has been enabled when configuring GCC.
<p>You can also run the Ada testsuite independently, using
<code>make check-ada</code>, or run a subset of the tests by specifying which
chapter to run, e.g.:
<pre class="smallexample"> $ make check-ada CHAPTERS="c3 c9"
</pre>
<p>The tests are organized by directory, each directory corresponding to
a chapter of the Ada Reference Manual. So for example, <samp><span class="file">c9</span></samp> corresponds
to chapter 9, which deals with tasking features of the language.
<p>There is also an extra chapter called <samp><span class="file">gcc</span></samp> containing a template for
creating new executable tests, although this is deprecated in favor of
the <samp><span class="file">gnat.dg</span></samp> testsuite.
<p>The tests are run using two <samp><span class="command">sh</span></samp> scripts: <samp><span class="file">run_acats</span></samp> and
<samp><span class="file">run_all.sh</span></samp>. To run the tests using a simulator or a cross
target, see the small
customization section at the top of <samp><span class="file">run_all.sh</span></samp>.
<p>These tests are run using the build tree: they can be run without doing
a <code>make install</code>.
