stress/build-llvm-forever.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This script prepares and builds LLVM+Clang in a cycle
# There are two purposes:
# 1. Make sure the board can cope with sequential builds
#    for as long as you wish (at least 2 days non-stop)
# 2. Make sure the builds take reasonably the same time
#
# That's why the script has the following features:
#
# * "set +e" to not fail even if the build fails, as a
#   subsequent commit can fix that, or even if the build
#   fails, we're still stressing the hardware, not the build
# * `date` before each step, so that you can compare
#   multiple runs without having to find the `time` output
# * Use -jCPUS, since we're not trying to get it faster, but
#   reliable, and that tells us more than -jCPUS+2, etc.
# * Time builds and tests separately, since tests tend to be
#   more stable
# * Don't use CCACHE, since that will defeat the purpose
