+*****************************
+Working on the code generator
+*****************************
+
+The regression suite
+====================
+
+Before any change is accepted for the code generator it is always run against several regression suites to ensure that
+it doesn't introduce any problems, and that the change has the desired effect.  There are several different regression suites:
+
+* testing/regress/ecl  - The run time regression suite.
+* ecl/regress          - a compiler regression suite.  This contains tests that cannot run and error tests.
+* LN private suite     - This contains a large selection (>10Gb) of archived queries.  The contain proprietary code so unfortunately cannot be released as open source.
+
+The ecl/regress directory contains a script 'regress.sh' that is used for running the regression tests.  It should be
+executed in the directory containing the ecl files.  The script generates the c++ code (and workunits) for each of the source
+files to a target directory, and then executes a comparison program to compare the new results with a previous "golden"
+reference set.
+
+Before making any changes to the compiler, a reference set should be created by running the regression script and copying the
+generated files to the reference directory.
+
+Here is a sample command line
+
+``~/dev/hpcc/ecl/regress/regress.sh -t /regress/hpcc -e /home/<user>/buildr/Release/bin/eclcc -I /home/<user>/dev/hpcc/ecl/regress/modules -I /home/<user>/dev/hpcc/plugins/javaembed -I /home/<user>/dev/hpcc/plugins/v8embed -c /regress/hpcc.master -d bcompare``
+
+(A version of this command resides in a shell script in each of my regression suite directories, with the -t and -c options adapted for each suite.)
+
+For a full list of options execute the script with no parameters, or take a look at the script itself. A couple of useful options are:
+
+* The script can be run on a single file by using the -q option.
+
+* The (-e) option selects the path of the eclcc.  This is particularly useful when running from the build
+  directory (see below), or using multiple build directories to compare behaviour between different versions.
+
+We strongly recommend using a comparison program which allows rules to be defined to ignore certain differences (e.g., beyond compare).
+
+Running directly from the build directory
+=========================================
+
+It is much quicker to run eclcc directly from the build directory, rather than deploying a system and running eclcc
+from there.  To do this you need to configure some options that eclcc requires, e.g. where the include files are found.  The
+options can be set by either setting environment variables or by specifiying options in an eclcc.ini
+file.   The following are the names of the different options:
+
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+| Environment flag      | Ini file option   |
++=======================+===================+
+| CL_PATH               | compilerPath      |
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+| ECLCC_LIBRARY_PATH    | libraryPath       |
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+| ECLCC_INCLUDE_PATH    | includePath       |
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+| ECLCC_PLUGIN_PATH     | plugins           |
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+| HPCC_FILEHOOKS_PATH   | filehooks         |
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+| ECLCC_TPL_PATH        | templatePath      |
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+| ECLCC_ECLLIBRARY_PATH | eclLibrariesPath  |
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+| ECLCC_ECLBUNDLE_PATH  | eclBundlesPath    |
++-----------------------+-------------------+
+
+The eclcc.ini can either be a file in the local directory, or specified on the eclcc command line with -specs.
+Including the settings in a local eclcc.ini file also it easy to debug eclcc directly from the build directory
+within the eclipse environment.
+
+Hints and tips
+==============
+
+* Logging
+
+  There is an option for eclcc to output a logging file, and another to specify the level of detail in that logging
+  file.  If the detail level is above 500 then the expresssion tree for the query is output to the logging file after
+  each of the code transformations.  The tracing is very useful for tracking down at which stage inconsistencies are
+  introduced in the expression graph, and also for learning how each transformation affects the query.
+
+  The output format defaults to ECL - which is regenerated from the expression tree.  (This ECL cannot generally be
+  compiled without editing - partly because it contains extra annoations.)   Use either of the following:
+
+  ``eclcc myfile.ecl --logfile myfile.log --logdetail 999``
+
+  ``regress.sh -q myfile.ecl -l myfile.log``
+
+* -ftraceIR
+
+  There is a debug option (-ftraceIR) that generates an intermediate representation of the expression graph rather than
+  regenerating ECL.  The output tends to be less compact and harder to read quickly, but has the advantage of being
+  better structured, and contains more details of the internal representation.  ecl/hql/hqlir.cpp contains
+  more details of the format.
+
+* Adding extra logging into the source code
+
+  If you want to add tracing of expressions at any point in the code generation then adding either of the following
+  calls will include the expression details in the log file:
+
+  ``dbglogExpr(expr); // regenerate the ecl for an expression.  See other functions in ecl/hql/hqlthql.hpp``
+
+  ``EclIR::dbglogIR(expr);  // regenerate the IR for an expression.  See other functions in ecl/hql/hqlir.hpp``
+
+* Logging while debugging
+
+  If you are debugging inside gdb it is often useful to be able to dump out details of an expression.  Calling
+  EclIR:dump_ir(expr); will generate the IR to stdout.
+
+  ``p EclIR::dump_ir(expr)``
+
+  The function can also be used with multiple parameters.  Each expression will be dumped out, but common child nodes
+  will only be generated once.  This can be very useful when trying to determine the difference between two expressions.
+  The quickest way is to call ``EclIR::dump_ir(expr1, expr2)``.  The first difference between the expressions will
+  be the expression that follows the first "return".
+
+* Expression sequence ids.
+
+  Sometimes it can be hard to determine where a particular IHqlExpression node was created.  If that is the case, then
+  defining ``DEBUG_TRACK_INSTANCEID`` (in ecl/hql/hqlexpr.ipp) will add a unique sequence number to each IHqlExpression
+  that is created.  There is also a function checkSeqId() at the start of ecl/hql/hqlexpr.cpp which is called whenever
+  an expression is created, linked, released etc..  Setting a breakpoint in that function can allow you to trace back
+  exactly when and why a particular node was created.
