# Script to simplify using rundiff on trace outputs from two
# invocations of m5.  Takes a common m5 command line with embedded
# alternatives and executes the two alternative commands in separate
# subdirectories with output piped to rundiff.
#
# ******Note that you need to enable some trace flags in the args in order
# to do anything useful!******
#
# Script arguments are handled uniformly as follows:
# - If the argument does not contain a '|' character, it is appended
#   to both command lines.
# - If the argument has a '|' character in it, the text on either side
#   of the '|' is appended to the respective command lines.  Note that
#   you'll have to quote the arg or escape the '|' with a backslash
#   so that the shell doesn't think you're doing a pipe.
# - Arguments with '#' characters are split at those characters,
#   processed for alternatives ('|'s) as independent terms, then
#   pasted back into a single argument (without the '#'s).  (Sort of
#   inspired by the C preprocessor '##' token pasting operator.)
#
# In other words, the arguments should look like the command line you
# want to run, with "|" used to list the alternatives for the parts
# that you want to differ between the two runs.
#
# For example:
#
# % tracediff m5.opt --opt1 '--opt2|--opt3' --opt4
# would compare these two runs:
# m5.opt --opt1 --opt2 --opt4
# m5.opt --opt1 --opt3 --opt4
#
# % tracediff 'path1|path2#/m5.opt' --opt1 --opt2
# would compare these two runs:
# path1/m5.opt --opt1 --opt2
# path2/m5.opt --opt1 --opt2
#
# If you want to add arguments to one run only, just put a '|' in with
# text only on one side ('--onlyOn1|').  You can do this with multiple
# arguments together too ('|-a -b -c' adds three args to the second
# run only).
#
# The '-n' argument to tracediff allows you to preview the two
# generated command lines without running them.
