Does hadrian support the equivalent of: make STAGE=1 TEST="A B C" ?

[alpmestan]

i.e running some tests against the stage1 compiler (<build root>/stage0/bin/ghc). Simon PJ expressed interest in having hadrian support this, and I'm not sure the current validate/test rules support it. Does it? If not, I'll add this issue to my TODO :-)

@alpmestan Yes, sure, we will need to support existing flags for testsuite. I think this is the existing issue

#187

If it's incomplete, please add a comment there.

There are quite a few other make variables though https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/testsuite/mk/test.mk#L10 are a few.

With #621 We can close this now @snowleopard ?

[snowleopard]

@chitrak7 Let me give this a try. I'll close the issue if everything works as expected.

[snowleopard]

@alpmestan By the way, what do you think -- does #621 provide enough functionality?

[alpmestan]

Yes, AFAICT. #621 gives us --test-compiler, which when set to stage1 and in conjuction with --only gives us what the title of this issue is about. Closing this issue, please reopen if there's a problem.

@alpmestan Awesome, thanks!

And also thanks to @chitrak7, of course!
