While an error will usually eventually be generated, the check +flagged as causing the error may not actually bear any relationship to the +actual source of the problem. + +In order to produce better error messages in these cases, the "``CHECK-LABEL:``" +directive can be used. It is treated identically to a normal ``CHECK`` +directive except that FileCheck makes an additional assumption that a line +matched by the directive cannot also be matched by any other check present in +``match-filename``; this is intended to be used for lines containing labels or +other unique identifiers.
