Member Enumeration Documentation

CodeBlock

enum class P4::Test::TestCode::CodeBlock

strong

CodeBlock flag for passing into match() and extract_code(). P4Code is always available, xxxAsm code is only availble post Pass::FullBackend.

Hdr

enum class P4::Test::TestCode::Hdr

strong

The header file to prefix the 'code' with. N.B. 98% of the test time can be taken up processing boiler-plate for Front-end tests. But Mid-end & Back-end test also run faster by minimising unnecessary code. e.g. preferably use 'Hdr::None', or 'Hdr::TofinoMin', rather than 'Hdr::Tofino1arch'.

1. Get your tests running with 'Hdr::Tofino1arch' & 'tofino_shell()'.
2. Prune the dead code before you finish.

Pass

enum class P4::Test::TestCode::Pass

strong

Runs a preconstructed pass over the pipe or program.

Enumerator
FullFrontend	Remove the pipe and run over the program.
FullMidend	Remove the pipe and run over the program.
ConverterToBackend	Run over the program and create the pipe.
ThreadLocalInstances	Run over the pipe.
FullBackend	Run over the pipe, creates asm CodeBlocks.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TestCode()

P4::Test::TestCode::TestCode	(	Hdr	header,
		std::string	code,
		const std::initializer_list< std::string > &	insertion = {},
		const std::string &	blockMarker = "",
		const std::initializer_list< std::string > &	options = {} )

See test_bf_gtest_helpers.cpp for example usage of 'TestCode'. State the 'header' needed and the 'code' (with optional N% insertion points). The N% entires are repalced by the 'insertion' elements e.g. TestCode(Hdr::None, // No header required. R" control TestIngress<H, M>(inout H hdr, inout M meta); package TestPackage<H, M>(TestIngress<H, M> ig); %0% // Definitions. control ti(inout Hd headers, inout Md meta){ %1% // Apply block. } TestPackage(ti()) main;)", // Our program. {"struct Hd{}; struct Md{};", "apply{}"}, // replaces %0% & %1%. "control ti" + any_to_brace(), // The start of the block. {"-S"}); // Commandline options.

Parameters

header	Required header.
code	Program, with insertions points.
insertion	Default: none.
blockMarker	Default: all code.
options	Default: P4_16, tofino, tna (or tofinoX, tXna when using TofinoXarch header file)

Member Function Documentation

extract_code() [1/2]

std::string P4::Test::TestCode::extract_code	(	CodeBlock	blk_type,
		size_t	pos = 0 ) const

Extract the code block specified by CodeBlock stripping of the initial pos characters e.g. Match::Result.pos.

extract_code() [2/2]

std::string P4::Test::TestCode::extract_code ( size_t pos = 0 ) const

inline

Extract the P4 code block specified by blockMarker. stripping of the initial pos characters e.g. Match::Result.pos.

get_field_container()

std::string P4::Test::TestCode::get_field_container	(	const std::string &	field,
		const std::string &	str,
		int	idx = 0 ) const

Get the container for given field

Parameters

field	The field to search for
str	The string in which to search for the field (most likely returned by extract_code(CodeBlock::PhvAsm)
idx	The index of the (stage X, container) pair to return the conntainer for. This is not the stage number.

min_control_shell()

std::string P4::Test::TestCode::min_control_shell ( )

static

'min_control_shell' is a minimal program, requiring insertions for: %0% Defines for 'struct headers_t' and 'struct local_metadata_t'. %1% A control ingress_control block e.g. 'empty_appy()'. The 'min_control_shell_marker identifies the block within the 'min_control_shell' string.

TestControlBlock()

static TestCode P4::Test::TestCode::TestControlBlock ( const std::string & defines, const std::string & block, Hdr header = Hdr::None )

inlinestatic

See test_bf_gtest_helpers.cpp for example usage of 'TestControlBlock'. TestControlBlock() is a handy wrapper for testing minimal control block P4 programs. N.B. 98% of the test time can be taken up processing boiler-plate. If this wrapper is not quite right, create your own minimal code block!

Parameters

defines	Must contain a definition of 'struct Headers'.
block	The code inserted into 'control testingress(inout Headers headers){%1%}'.
header	Required header.

tofino_shell()

std::string P4::Test::TestCode::tofino_shell ( )

static

'tofino_shell' is a tofino program, requiring insertions for: %0% Defines for 'struct headers_t' and 'struct local_metadata_t'. %1% A parser ingress_parser block e.g. 'empty_state()'. %2% A control ingress_control block e.g. 'empty_appy()'. %3% A control ingress_deparser block e.g. 'empty_appy()'. The 'tofino_shell_*_marker's identify those blocks within the 'tofino_shell' string.
