Day 27 of 30 · First contribution

Test the effect beyond the reproducer

Time
About 150 minutes: 20 reading, 100 lab, 20 testing, 10 notes.
Prerequisites
Day 26: Implement the smallest correct change

Toolchain: current-main build

Use build/bin/clang++ and build/bin/llvm-lit from your llvm-main checkout, not whichever clang++ is first on PATH. Reproduce upstream behavior on current main and record the commit SHA. Setup guide

Learn

  • Relevant suites, baseline comparison and practical validation.

Read Reading

Reading budgets cover selected sections, not whole chapters. Link to the book; this site does not reproduce it.

Build Build or investigate

  1. Run the individual test, neighboring directory and check-clang when feasible.
  2. Run affected unit tests when applicable.
  3. Compare failures against an unchanged baseline; record unsupported tests separately.
  4. Format only the changed code and inspect git diff --check.

Done when

Exact test commands and results, known limitations, and a clean focused diff.

Recall question

Which behavior could your regression test miss that the broader suite might catch?

Completion checks

Progress tracking needs JavaScript. The lesson above is complete without it.
