- tap/awk: "Bail out!" recognized also after leading whitespace
- Newer versions of TAP::Harness (e.g., 3.23 on Perl 5.14.1)
- recognize a "Bail out!" directive also when it is prepended by

- versions, (e.g., for version 3.17 on Perl 5.12.4), and for our
- TAP driver implemented in awk.
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Handle the "Bail out!" directive also when

- tests: fix spurious failure of cond29.test
- * tests/cond29.test: Limit the amount of virtual memory available
- to the automake process to ~ 150 MB, rather than only ~ 20 MB, to
- account for higher (but still acceptable) memory usages on some
- systems (in this case, a Fedora 16 distro on ppc64). To be
- sure not to reduce coverage, increase the number of potential
- combinations of automake conditionals from 2**22 = 4194304 to
- 2**24 = 16777216.
- We have actually verified that the new version of the test case
- catches the Automake 1.7 it is intended to check against, using
- the Automake 1.7.9 tarball downloaded from:
- <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.7.9.tar.gz>

- docs: "aclocal --install -I /abs/dir" actually copies files
- This change is for automake bug#8407.
- In the past, there had been some debate and confusion about
- whether "aclocal --install" should copy third-party .m4 files
- in the first directory passed to the `-I' option even when
- such directory was given as an absolute path, or whether it
- was better to do so only for directories specified with a
- relative path.
- The rationale for this latter behaviour was that, before the
- existence of the `ACLOCAL_PATH' variable, the only way (a poor
- way, I might add) for a common user to extend the search path
- of a system-wide installation of aclocal was to export something
- like ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /my/extra/macros" in the environment.
- Today, the correct way to proceed is undoubtedly through the
- use of ACLOCAL_PATH, so we can settle the question once and for
- all, and start verifying the correct behaviour of `-I' with a
- new test.
- * tests/aclocal-install-absdir.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
- * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options): Be more explicit about
- this part of `--install' semantics.

- docs: fix node names for automake and aclocal invocations
- With the older node names, an "info automake" command issued
- from the command line would have opened the node about the
- invocation of the automake program, rather than the Top node
- of the automake documentation. To invoke the Top node, one
- had to issue the command "info Automake" instead (note the
- different capitalization). This was suboptimal, and certainly
- confusing.
- With this change, "info automake" will open the Top node of the
- automake documentation; to access the nodes about the invocation
- of the automake and aclocal program, one has now to issue "info
- automake-invocation" and "info aclocal-invocation" respectively.
- This change fixes automake bug#8071.
- See also commits `v2.61a-22-ge9215d1' and `v2.61a-72-g8c07b48' in
- the autoconf git repository, which tackled a similar issue.
- * doc/automake.texi (@direntry): Rename nodes `aclocal' and
- `automake' to `aclocal-invocation' and `automake-invocation'
- respectively.
- * NEWS: Update.

- tests: tweak tests on silent-rules for makes without nested vars
- * tests/silent-nested-vars.test: Define $MAKE to `./mymake' in
- the environment, so that it will be automatically picked up by
- configure. Related tweaks and simplifications.
- Remove the checks verifying that silent rules are respected also
- when the 'subdir-objects' option is set, the checks testing the
- old syntax for user-defined silent rules, and the tests using
- the default $MAKE programs: they are redundant w.r.t. other test
- cases. Related simplifications.
- Remove the temporary files used in a sanity check as soon as they
- are not needed anymore.
- Do not capture also the standard error of configure: we only want
- to grep its standard output.
- Consistently use `stdout' for the name of files where to save the
- standard output captured from make and configure, for consistency
- with other tests.
- Make grepping of configure output and of the generated Makefile
- stricter.
- Improve and tweak the `mymake' script a little.
- * tests/silent6.test: Make grepping of make stdout slightly
- stricter. After having configured with silent rules disabled,
- try to force the use silent rules with `make V=1'.
- 2011-12-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
- silent-rules: fallback for makes without nested vars
- This fixes two problems reported for Automake (Bug#9928, Bug#10237)
- and is in response to a bug report for building coreutils on HP
- NonStop OS (Bug#10234). The problem is that HP NonStop 'make'
- treats a line like "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))" as one that
- expands a macro with the funny name am__v_CC_$(V instead of the
- desired name am__v_CC_1 or am__v_CC_0, and since the funny macro
- is not defined the line is equivalent to "AM_V_CC = )"; this
- inserts a stray ")" when $(AM_V_CC) is used, which eventually
- causes 'make' to fail.
- The basic idea is that instead of generating Makefile.in lines like
- "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_$(V))", we generate
- "AM_V_CC = $(am__v_CC_@AM_V@)". We then AC_SUBST $(V) for @AM_V@
- in the usual case where `make' supports nested variables,
- and substitute 1 (or 0) otherwise. Similarly for usages like
- $(am__v_CC_$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)).
- With this change, make implementations that doesn't grasp nested
- variable expansions will still be able to run Makefiles generated
- using the silent-rules option. They won't allow the user to
- override the make verbosity at runtime through redefinition of
- $(V) (as in "make V=0"); but this is still an improvement over not
- being able to work at all.
- * NEWS: Document this.
- * automake.in (define_verbose_var): When defining the variables,
- use @AM_V@ rather than $(V), and use @AM_DEFAULT_V@ rather than
- $(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY).
- * doc/automake.texi (Automake silent-rules Option): Explain new system.
- * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): Check whether `make' supports
- nested variables, and substitute AM_V and AM_DEFAULT_V accordingly.
- * tests/silent-nested-vars.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

- contents merged into ...
- * .gitignore: ... this top-level file. Since we are at it, improve
- it by anchoring files where it makes sense.

- tests: one more fixlet for gettext macros requirement
- * tests/gettext-macros.test (configure.in): Add calls to
- AC_INIT and AC_PROG_CC, to avoid a spurious failure in the
- later aclocal invocation.
- Luckily, this wart wasn't causing any spurious SKIP or FAIL,
- but only the redundant addition to the `-Wno-syntax' option
- to some aclocal invocations in the gettext tests.

- tests: fix handling of gettext macros requirement
- The code introduced in the earlier change `v1.11-581-gb7d67d5'
- and aimed at automatically fetching all the .m4 files provided by
- gettext has proven inadequate, since it hasn't managed to truly
- and always get *all* the required .m4 files. For example, it has
- failed to fetch the file `intldir.m4' (present in gettext 0.18.1,
- and where the macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR' is defined),
- which in turn has caused spurious SKIPs of at least the test
- `gettext3.test'.
- The reason for this debacle is that autopoint looks at the version
- specified in AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION to decide which version of the
- gettext infrastructure to bring in; since we were unconditionally
- specifying the older 0.10.35 version, the newer `.m4' files weren't
- brought in.
- * tests/gettext-macros.test: In AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION, instead
- of unconditionally specifying the older 0.10.35 version, specify
- the version of the available `gettextize' or `autopoint' program,
- dynamically extracted with the help of ...
- (extract_program_version):... this new function, and saved ...
- ($autopoint_version): ... in this new variable.

- tests: remove FIXME comments from tricks to pacify syntax checks
- Originally, I myself had insisted on adding those "FIXME" comments
- near every unusual construct or use of "creative quoting" whose
- only purpose was to avoid false positive from out syntax checks.
- I did that with the expectation that we could have easily and soon
- added a whitelisting capability to our maintainer-specific syntax
- checks. This hasn't been the case unfortunately, and now those
- "FIXME" in the comments are just distracting noise, making it more
- difficult to grep the test cases for stuff that could really use a
- fix or an improvement. So just get rid of them.

- regex: deprecate the obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX
- This is a backport of commit v1.11-433-g37b0aee.
- Today, practically nobody uses the GNU rx library, which, according
- to its own website <http://www.gnu.org/software/rx/rx.html>, has

- tests: better handling of gettext and libtool requirements
- This change fixes automake bug#9807.
- Before this change, the automake testsuite only looked for the
- `.m4' files containing libtool and gettext macros definitions in
- the directory `${prefix}/share/aclocal' (and in the directories
- specified by the `dirlist' file in there, if any), where ${prefix}
- was the configure-time automake installation prefix (defaulting
- to `/usr/local').
- This approach had various shortcomings and disadvantages. Let's
- briefly describe the three major ones.
- First, on most GNU/Linux systems, a libtool or gettext installed
- from distro-provided packages (e.g., by dpkg on Debian/Ubuntu, or
- by rmp on RedHat/Fedora) would have `/usr', not `/usr/local', as
- its ${prefix}; so, trying to run the automake testsuite with a
- simple "./configure && make && make check" would have failed to
- execute the libtool and gettext tests on most GNU/Linux distros.
- It's true that it was quite easy to work around this issue, by
- creating a proper `/usr/local/share/aclocal/dirlist' file with
- an entry pointing to `/usr/share/aclocal' (a workaround in fact
- used by most automake developers); but the typical user wasn't
- aware of the necessity of this trick, so the libtool and gettext
- tests was usually skipped on testsuite runs "in the wild", thus
- needlessly reducing coverage.
- Second, the older testsuite behaviour made more difficult for
- the developers to run the testsuite with non-default libtool or
- gettext. For example, assume the developer is working on a system
- that has a default libtool version 1.5 installed in the /usr/local
- hierarchy; to improve coverage, the developer installs also a more
- modern libtool version, say 2.4, in its home directory, let's say
- in ~/libtool-2.4; he then tries to run the automake testsuite with
- this more modern libtool by doing an (apparently) simple:
- $ PATH=$HOME/libtool-2.4:$PATH make check
- But the automake testsuite would still look for libtool macros in
- /usr/local/share/aclocal, not in ~/libtool-2.4/share/aclocal, so
- the wrong version of the macros would be picked up, and the tests
- would either fail spuriously or (which would be worse) pass without
- truly covering the libtool version the developers was thinking to
- be testing with.
- Worse again, the automake testsuite would *unconditionally* look
- for libtool macros in /usr/local/share/aclocal, so even something
- like:
- $ export ACLOCAL_PATH=$HOME/libtool-2.4/share/aclocal
- $ PATH=$HOME/libtool-2.4:$PATH make check
- wouldn't work.
- Third and last, during a "make distcheck", automake is configured
- with a ${prefix} pointing to a proper subdirectory of the build
- directory (usually `pwd`/_inst), which gets created on-the-fly;
- in this case, with the old approach, the automake testsuite never
- found the libtool and gettext macro files, ans so the libtool and
- gettext tests was *always* skipped in a "make distcheck".
- * tests/libtool-macros.test: New helper test, looking (with the
- help of the `libtoolize' script) for libtool macro files required
- by most libtool tests, and making them easily accessible.
- * tests/gettext-macros.test: New helper test, looking (with the
- help of the `libtoolize' script) for libtool macro files required
- by most libtool tests, and making them easily accessible.
- * tests/defs.in: Update to make it rely on the results and setups
- of `libtool-macros.test' and `gettext-macros.test'.
- * tests/Makefile.am: Declare dependency of all the logs of libtool
- tests from `libtool-macros.log', and all the logs of gettext tests
- from `gettext-macros.log'.
- (TESTS): Add the new tests.
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- fix: typos and grammaros in comments of the new test
- * tests/get-sysconf.test: Fix few typos, grammaros and botched
- wording. Reported by Eric Blake.
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: report useful system information in 'test-suite.log'
- It has already happened various times that a user has run the
- automake testsuite, experienced a failure, read the messages
- telling him "See tests/test-suite.log" and "Please report to
- bug-automake@gnu.org", and done exactly that -- sending us only
- the contents of `tests/test-suite.log', which are usually not
- enough to start debugging the reported failure. So we have to
- ask him for more details, and usually also for the `config.log'
- file generated by configure. It's time to fix this recurring
- feedback inefficiency. We do so by creating a dummy test case
- that takes care of copying the contents of `config.log', plus
- other useful system information, in the final `test-suite.log'.
- * tests/get-sysconf.test: New test, gathering system information
- and then always terminating with a SKIP, so that its output gets
- copied in `test-suite.log'.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
- 2011-12-07 Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> (tiny change)
- python: remove relics for Python 1.5 support
- * m4/python.m4: The comments in here claim to support only

- and practically defunct.
- * NEWS: Update.

- Python 3.0, drop support for pre-2.0."

- configure: remove extraneous 'eval's from AM_RUN_LOG invocations

- simply use "AM_RUN_LOG([$PERL --version])"
- 2011-12-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- configure: report TeX version in config.log
- * configure.ac: If possible, report the version of the selected
- TeX program; this should render the logs more informative.
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- maint: snapshots from `maint' are still development snapshots
- The maintenance-oriented development line in the `maint' branch,
- while being usually pretty stable and 99% backward-compatible,
- is not always right off production-quality; but until now, the
- Automake package version declared in configure.ac hid this fact,
- since it appeared to be the version of a stable release (e.g.,
- 11.1). Fix this.
- * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump version to "1.11.0a".
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- configure: print proper message for test releases
- * configure.ac: If the current release is detected to be a test
- release or a development snapshot, print a proper warning for
- the user.
- * README-alpha: Delete, it's obsolete now (and in fact this file
- hasn't been touched in eleven years, since release 1.4b or so).
- * HACKING (Release procedure): Don't say to update README-alpha.
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- devel: help in comparing Makefile.in from different commits
- Now that the generated Makefile.in, configure and aclocal.m4 files
- are no longer committed in Automake's git repository, a simple
- "git diff" or "git log" no longer shows if and how a change in
- Automake results in changes to the Makefile.in files and/or
- configure script of its own build system. Still, the ability to
- peek so easily at such differences has proved itself quite useful
- in the past, often revealing inconsistencies and blunders, and
- sometimes even bugs; so it would be a pity to lose that altogether.
- With this change, we add a new maintainer recipe that re-introduces
- much of that capability, by generating and comparing on the fly the
- Makefile.in, configure and aclocal.m4 derived from two arbitrary
- commits of the Automake repository.
- * Makefile.am (autodiffs, compare-autodiffs): New phony targets.
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- repo: don't commit generated files in the git repository anymore
- It has been quite some time since autoconf and libtool have stopped
- committing the generated autotools files in their git repositories,
- with no significant ill effects we're aware of. It's true that the
- autoconf bootstrap process has now the minor annoyance that a
- pre-installed autoconf is required to complete it; but luckily
- automake will not have a similar annoyance, since our bootstrap
- script take care, through some hoops, to use the very automake and
- aclocal versions from the current git checkout to generate the
- required aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files. In fact, this has been
- a necessity also in the past, because automake has been known to
- use in its own build system new development features that hadn't
- been present in any previously released automake distribution.
- * .gitignore: Ignore configure, aclocal.m4, and all the
- Makefile.in files.
- * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): New macro call, to require the
- latest autoconf (2.68 for the moment).
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- missing: don't try to re-run tar with a munged command line
- * lib/missing: If the default `tar' program fails with the given
- arguments, and GNU tar is not available, don't try to re-run the
- default `tar' with a munged command line (e.g., ditching possibly
- unportable options), as that could be subtly alter the intended
- semantics (and maybe even create a somewhat corrupted tarball).
- Also, it's worth noting that the main purpose of the `missing'
- script is to allow a non-developer to build the package in the
- face of slightly-skewed timestamps, not to provide wrappers for
- all the maintainer tools -- so we don't have to try too hard
- when `missing' is just called to wrap `tar'.
- * tests/missing-tar.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- missing: inform the user if GNU tar is called
- * lib/missing: If the code trying to run GNU tar is reached, it
- means that the previous attempt to run the default tar program
- has failed, very likely producing some error message. At this
- point, just running GNU tar without further comments might be
- confusing.
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- missing: if GNU tar exists but fails when called, give up
- * lib/missing: If the code trying to run GNU tar is reached,
- don't continue if the invoked GNU tar program fails, as there
- is little point in doing so (and can even be confusing and
- counter-productive).
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- missing: miscellaneous fixlets
- * lib/missing: Some shells, such as Solaris or FreeBSD /bin/sh,
- warn about missing programs before performing redirections.
- Therefore, where we have to silently check whether a program
- exists, perform redirections on a subshell.
- Remove redundant uses of double-quotes in variable definitions.
- Delete an extra blank line.
- 2011-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- maint: remove executable bit from automake.in
- * automake.in: This file is not meant to be executed, only to

- 2011-12-20 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
- tests: fix spurious failure on systems lacking unistd.h
- This is for automake bug#10324.
- * tests/silent-lex-generic.test (foo.l): Add a dummy #define of

- Correctly append $(EXEEXT) to the path of built binaries.
- 2011-12-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: hack to support autoconf-wrapper programs
- * tests/defs-static.in ($AUTOCONF): Add a dummy `-B' option to the
- autoconf invocation, so that, when the Debian autoconf wrapper is
- involved, it will correctly dispatch an autoconf >= 2.50 instead of
- defaulting to autoconf 2.13.
- ($AUTOHEADER, $AUTORECONF): Likewise, but for autoheader and
- autoreconf respectively.

- 2011-12-27 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- yacc/lex tests: avoid too much failures with FreeBSD make
- In various Yacc/Lex tests, we used to run "make distcheck" commands
- whose value was mostly dubious, and, even when it was there, was
- very, very little. The presence of these extra distchecks had two
- disadvantages: it slowed down our already-too-slow testsuite even
- more, and, much worse, caused a lot of extra failures with FreeBSD,
- all due to automake bug#7884, which is already exposed by the test
- case `yacc-dist-nobuild.test'.
- We can improve this situation by simply removing "make distcheck"
- calls from a few testcases, or making them conditional to the use
- of GNU make.

- dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9, honor envvar settings
- Before the present change, automake-generated `dist-xz' rule used
- a hard-coded `xz -9'. That was a problem because on this front,
- xz differs from gzip and bzip2. While the latter two don't incur
- any run-time decompression penalty for using a higher compression
- level, specifying -9 with xz imposes a potentially fatal virtual
- memory requirement on any client that wants to decompress your
- tar.xz file.
- People have complained that a tarball compressed with -9 cannot
- be uncompressed in a low-memory environment (wrt-based embedded).
- Hence, instead of defaulting to -9, which is useful only for very
- large tarballs, it defaults to -e (equivalent to -6e). This
- limits the default memory requirements imposed on decompressors,
- yet still gives very good compression ratios.
- * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that made
- it impossible to override. Actually don't default to -9, either,
- since that induced inordinately large virtual memory usage when
- merely decompressing. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar, defaulting
- to -e if not defined. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
- (dist-bzip2): Similarly, do not hard-code -9, but do continue to
- use -9 by default. Honor the BZIP2 envvar.
- * NEWS: Update.

- tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function
- The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
- the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
- which is required to link most lex-generated programs). On the
- contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
- fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
- proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
- possibly fail later, at make time.
- This behaviour is intended; the Autoconf manual reads:
- ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
- both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it
- produces is portable. In order to ensure portability, however,
- you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use
- it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply
- include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.''
- This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of
- the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
- providing `yywrap' (this happens for example on Fedora-based
- systems). The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back
- implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers.
- See also partially-overlapping commit `v1.11-871-geb147a1' (from
- the 'testsuite-work' branch), which was motivated by similar
- spurious failures experienced when cross-compiling.
- From a report by Jim Meyering:

- info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir'
- With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info
- rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by setting the
- environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no".
- This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite
- improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the
- `install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack
- which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian
- install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06).
- This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992.
- * lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of
- `install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update

- tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function
- The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
- the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
- which is required to link most lex-generated programs). On the
- contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
- fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
- proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
- possibly fail later, at make time.
- This behaviour is intended; the Autoconf manual reads:
- ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
- both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it
- produces is portable. In order to ensure portability, however,
- you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use
- it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply
- include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.''
- This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of
- the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
- providing `yywrap' (this happens for example on Fedora-based
- systems). The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back
- implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers.
- See also partially-overlapping commit `v1.11-871-geb147a1' (from
- the 'testsuite-work' branch), which was motivated by similar
- spurious failures experienced when cross-compiling.

- dist: separate auxiliary file instantiation from DIST_COMMON update
- This change simplifies the automake internals dealing with the
- checking, copying and distributing of required auxiliary files.
- With this change, a required auxiliary file is *unconditionally*
- added to the contents of the DIST_COMMON variable in the generated
- Makefile.in, before checking whether it exists, or trying to copy
- it (if `--add-missing' is in use). This shouldn't be a problem,
- since if the checking or copying of the file fails, automake will
- bail out, the Makefile.in won't be created, and thus its content
- will not matter. OK, this is not completely true when threaded
- automake is in use, but then, such a situation was also possible
- before this patch, so no regression here, which is enough for us.
- This change is the first of a series of steps aimed at fixing
- the regression introduced in threaded automake usage by commit
- `v1.11-1219-g326ecba'.
- * automake.in (require_file_internal): Add the required file to
- DIST_COMMON unconditionally.
- * tests/missing-auxfile-stops-makefiles-creation.test: New test.

- dist: simplify automake code accordingly to the previous changes
- After the previous change `v1.11-1219-g326ecba', every Makefile.am
- requiring a file in the "config auxdir" will cause it to be listed
- in the DIST_COMMON variable of the corresponding generated
- Makefile.in, not only of the top-level Makefile.in. Thus we don't
- need to worry anymore about trying to distribute files in the
- config auxdir from the top-level Makefile or the Makefile in
- config auxdir (if any). This allows us to carry out some useful
- simplifications in the automake script.
- This will however cause some changes in the generated Makefile;
- for example, if the `PROGRAMS' primary is used only in a subdir
- Makefile.am, the `depcomp' script will be distributed only by
- `subdir/Makefile', not by the top-level Makefile. This change
- can be seen as an internal detail though, and definitely warranted
- by the nice simplifications the current commit provides.
- * automake.in ($automake_will_process_aux_dir): Variable removed.
- (scan_autoconf_files): Adjust and simplify.
- (handle_makefiles_threaded): Likewise.
- (get_number_of_threads): Likewise.
- (require_file_internal): Likewise.
- (maybe_push_required_file): Its return value is not used anymore,
- so return nothing. Add special handling for distributed files from
- `$config_libobj_dir'. Also, catch "this can't happen" situations,
- and abort accordingly. Fix function description to better fit its
- new role.
- * tests/libobj19.test: Extend to also check situations where the
- Makefile.am using $(LIBOBJS) is not the top-level one.

- dist: auxiliary files can be distributed from subdir Makefiles
- With this change, we make it possible for a subdir Makefile.am
- to distribute files in the config auxdir; while this means that
- some files might be copied multiple times, it simplify some logic
- in the automake script, and fix at least one important bug. In
- fact, before this change, the auxiliary script `test-driver' was
- not being distributed as expected when TESTS was defined only in
- a subdir Makefile (which is a pretty common setup indeed). Now
- this does not happen anymore: so the present change fixes automake
- bug#9546.
- Another welcome collateral effect is that `dist-auxfile-2.test'
- now passes.
- OTOH, the present changes *breaks threaded automake*. The reason
- is that automake needs to serialize file installations spawned
- by `--add-missing' (this isn't for cosmetic reasons, but is
- really needed to avoid possible race conditions and botched output
- files). Currently the code that installs required files is
- intertwined with the code that declares the DIST_COMMON variables;
- so, upon de-serialization, the definition of DIST_COMMON might get
- emitted in the wrong Makefile.in.
- Some follow-up refactoring in automake will soon take care of
- remedying this situation. For the moment, we just declare some
- "parallel-am" tests as xfailing.
- * automake.in (maybe_push_required_file): Add ad-hoc handling for
- the case where the directory part of the required file is different
- from the subdir where the current Makefile.am resides, but is equal
- to the "config-aux directory" ($config_auxdir). This is needed to
- allow a construct in a non-top-level Makefile.am to require a file
- in the config-aux directory.
- * tests/test-driver-is-distributed.test: Extend and adjust. This
- test now passes.
- * tests/java-compile-run-nested.test: Call automake with the `-a'
- option to ensure that the `test-driver' auxiliary script gets
- correctly installed. This test now passes.

- parallel-tests: warn on conditional TEST_EXTENSIONS definition
- Before this change, automake would have still bailed out, but
- with a confusing error message (about an invalid redefinition
- of TEST_EXTENSIONS).
- * automake.in (handle_tests): Warn explicitly if TEST_EXTENSIONS
- has conditional contents.

- * NEWS: Update.
- 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS
- Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks
- performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to
- allow for @substitited@ stuff. This however ends up allowing
- quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real
- practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow
- @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear
- error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected
- behaviors in the generated Makefile.in.
- * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular
- expression ...
- (is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine. Don't allow
- generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for
- `@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances).
- * tests/test-extensions.test: Adjust and extend. This test does
- not cause any internal error in automake anymore now.
- 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix spurious failure in 'insthook.test'
- * tests/insthook.test (Makefile.am): Add a proper `uninstall-hook'
- target to remove the symlink created by the `install-exec-hook'
- target; this prevents "make distcheck" from failing spuriously.
- Since we are at it, delete an extra blank line, and add a trailing
- `:' command.
- 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- `--add-missing', to ensure the required script `test-driver'
- gets installed. Note that the test still fails due to an
- internal error in automake, though.
- 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: avoid few useless uses of the `-e' make option

- parallel-tests: automake error our on invalid TEST_EXTENSIONS
- This change fixes automake bug#9400.
- * automake.in (handle_tests): Bail out if a suffix specified in
- TEST_EXTENSIONS would produce an invalid `xxx_LOG_COMPILER'
- variable or an invalid suffix rule. Before this change, automake
- would have issued a confusing error messages (about invalid or
- non-POSIX variables being defined), and in some situations would
- have even produced a broken `Makefile.in' file.

- tap/awk: account for unusual korn shell signal handling behaviour
- This change has been motivated by a testsuite failure on Debian
- with the AT&T Korn Shell version 93u-1.
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Temporarily ignore some common signals when
- waiting for the test command to complete, to avoid premature exit
- in Korn shells that propagate to themselves signals that have
- killed a child process.
- See also related commit `v1.11-1342-g6321ad3'.
- 2011-09-28 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: handle exit statuses > 256 (seen on few korn shells)
- Some Korn shells, when a child process die due to signal number
- n, can leave in $? an exit status of 256+n instead of the more
- standard 128+n. Apparently, both behaviours are allowed by
- POSIX, so be prepared to handle them both.
- This change has been motivated by a testsuite failure on Debian
- with the AT&T Korn Shell version 93u-1.
- * lib/tap-driver.sh (get_test_exit_message): Handle the described
- Korn Shell behaviour too.
- ($scriptversion): Update.
- 2011-09-28 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: remove redundant workaround for Solaris /bin/sh
- After previous commit `v1.11-1424-g27a399a', some workarounds for
- Solaris 10 /bin/sh are no more required, and in fact they have
- started causing XPASS results on Solaris.
- * tests/tap-signal.tap: Remove unneeded workarounds for Solaris 10
- /bin/sh. Some related minor code reorganizations.

- tests: fix spurious failures in tests on TAP + signals
- * tests/tap-signal.tap: Write the dummy test scripts as perl

- in the handling of signals. In fact, even with bash, the older
- script were unable to properly deliver a SIGQUIT to themselves
- consistently.

- tests: fix spurious failure in test on ACLOCAL_PATH precedences

- tests: more granularity in variables for tools overriding
- Among the other things, this change makes it possible to use, at
- the same time, an autoconf version in the automake testsuite and
- another one in the automake build system; even more importantly, it

- execution of the automake's test suite.

- aclocal: more granularity in acdir overriding
- Before this change, using the `--acdir' option caused aclocal to
- redefine both the directory of automake-provided m4 macros and the
- directory of third-party system-wide m4 macros. With this change,
- we deprecate the `--acdir' aclocal option, and introduce two new
- options `--automake-acdir' and `--system-acdir', to allow for more
- granularity.
- * aclocal.in (@automake_includes, @system_includes,
- @user_includes): Fix and extend comments.
- (usage): Update.
- (handle_acdir_option): New function.
- (parse_arguments): Recognize new options `--system-acdir' and
- `automake-acdir', and handle `--acdir' using the new function
- above. Simplify logic by assuming that the directory of
- third-party system-wide m4 files always exists.
- * tests/aclocal.in: Update to use the new options, instead of
- the deprecated. `--acdir'.
- * m4/dirlist: Move ...
- * m4/acdir/dirlist: ... here.

- (system_acdir): New, directory.
- (dist_system_ac_DATA): New, defined to an empty value; this will
- ensure that the $(system_acdir) directory will be created by
- "make install".
- * tests/aclocal.test: Remove check about the `--print-ac-dir'
- option of aclocal, it has been moved into ...
- * tests/aclocal-print-acdir.test: ... this new test, and quite
- extended.
- * tests/aclocal-acdir.test: New test.

- testsuite: revamp generation of autogenerated tests
- With this change, we make generated tests be real scripts again
- -- albeit only thin layers around the tests they wrap. It turned
- out that the apparently clever tricks we played by having lots
- of custom (and auto-generated) `..._LOG_COMPILER' variables and
- by having the tests in $(wrap_TESTS) not being real on-file-system
- scripts caused more pain and confusion than expected, for only
- marginal gains. Also, that previous setup didn't interact very
- well with "make check RECHECK_LOGS=", since the log files for
- the "wrappee" tests were always considered out-of-date (which in
- hindsight is natural, since these log files depended on wrappee
- tests that didn't exist -- and weren't created). And finally, it
- wasn't possible to easily and naturally run the wrappee tests
- from the command line -- definitely harmful for debugging and
- sanity checking.
- * tests/gen-wrap-tests: Deleted, its role subsumed into ...
- * tests/gen-tests-deps: ... this script, with the help of
- (unindent, atomic_write, build_matcher, write_wrapper_script,
- %test_generators): ... these new functions and variables.
- Other few minor fixlets and improvements.
- * tests/wrap-tests.sh: Delete, not needed anymore.
- * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/wrap-tests.am): Don't generate
- nor include anymore.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Update.
- (wrap_TESTS): Renamed to ...
- (generated_TESTS): ... this.
- ($(generated_TESTS)): Must have the same dependencies of
- `$(srcdir)/tests-deps.am'.
- Other minor related reordering and adjustments.
- * bootstrap: Do not generate `wrap-tests.am' anymore.
- * tests/.gitignore (wrap-tests.am): Don't ignore anymore.
- (*-w.test, *-w.tap): Ignore.
- * tests/README: Update paragraph on automatically-generated

- automake: fix regression due to de-ansification support removal
- The last change `v1.11-947-g136b489' removed code that automake
- was using to decide whether binary objects were built by the

- * bootstrap, tests/.gitignore, tests/README: Update.
- 2011-08-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: list of tests placed in a separate Makefile fragment
- This change allows us to easily use make instead of by-hand (and
- more fragile) grepping to extract the list of hand-written tests
- from our Makefiles.
- * bootstrap (BOOTSTRAP_MAKE): New variable.
- Use it to run make in order to extract the list of hand-written
- tests from ...
- * tests/list-of-tests.mk: ... this new file, where they are
- listed in ...
- (handwritten_TESTS, tap_with_common_setup_TESTS, tap_other_TESTS):
- ... these variables, extracted respectively from ...
- * tests/Makefile.am (handwritten_tests, tap_other_tests,

- removed.
- (EXTRA_DIST, expected_list_of_tests): Update w.r.t. the variable

- 2011-08-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: prefer AM_... variables to user-reserved ones in Makefile
- * tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS): Renamed ...
- (AM_TAP_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS): ... to this.
- 2011-08-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: some minor fixlets w.r.t. TAP-based tests
- The variable that is used by our test scripts to decide whether
- they are "plain" or TAP-based is `using_tap'; however, some
- peripheral sanity checks and sanitization code in our testsuite
- were erroneously using the `use_tap' variable instead. Fix that.
- * tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Nullify `using_tap',
- not `use_tap'.
- * tests/defs-static.in: Check that `using_tap', not `use_tap',
- is not exported.
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update.
- 2011-08-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: avoid re-running a test with the 'parallel-tests' option
- * tests/backcompat5.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to
- prevent the generation of a sibling test script that uses the
- 'parallel-tests' driver. That would be useless anyway, since
- we manually override the contents of configure.in, thus clobbering
- the `parallel-tests' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
- Fix a typo in comments since we are at it.
- 2011-08-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: defaults to awk+shell driver in tests on TAP support

- testsuite: different test scripts cannot share the same basename
- If two test scripts have the same basename, they will end up
- sharing the same log file, leading to all sort of undefined and
- undesired behaviours. Add a Makefile check verifying that this
- is not the case.
- * tests/test-logs-repeated.test: New test, verifying previously
- unspecified semantics (in the definition of $(TEST_LOGS) from
- $(TESTS)) that we use in our new check.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- (check-no-repeated-test-name): New .PHONY check.
- (check-local): Depend on it.
- 2011-08-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix spurious failure for awk implementation of TAP driver
- * tests/tap-realtime.test: The awk+shell implementation of the TAP
- driver must "read ahead" of one line in order to catch the exit
- status of the test script it runs. So, in the TAP-producer script
- here, be sure to echo one "dummy" line after each TAP result line
- in order not to cause false positives.
- 2011-08-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: allow escaping of TAP directives
- * lib/tap-driver.sh (setup_result_obj): Handle escaping of TAP
- directives in a way tat is (mostly) compatible by what is done
- by the TAP::Parser module.
- With this change, the tests `tap-escape-directive.test' and
- `tap-escape-directive-2.test' now also pass with the shell/awk
- implementation of the TAP driver.
- 2011-08-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: more about escaping of TAP directives
- * tests/tap-escape-directive.test: Make grepping of testsuite
- progress output slightly stricter.
- * tests/tap-escape-directive-2.test: New test (failing with the
- awk implementation of the TAP driver).
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: improve syncing between awk+shell and perl implementations
- * lib/tap-driver.pl (stringify_test_result): Renamed ...
- (stringify_result_obj): ... to this. Break up a clause in the
- long "if/elsif/.../else" construct to avoid unaesthetic line
- breaks and to be more synced with the sibling function in
- `tap-driver.sh'. Rename the `$result', `$PASS' and `$FAIL'
- variables to respectively `$result_obj', `$COOKED_PASS' and
- `$COOKED_FAIL', for clarity and better syncing.
- (handle_tap_test): Renamed ...
- (handle_tap_result): ... to this, and change the name of the
- `$test' local variable to `$result_obj'.
- (extract_comment): Reimplement using the simpler `index' and
- `substr' builtins, rather than with more advanced uses of
- regular expressions.
- (%test_results, @test_results): Renamed respectively ...
- (%test_results_seen, @test_results_list): ... to these, and
- related adjustments throughout the `TEST_RESULTS' block.
- (main, get_global_test_result): Refactor and do some cosmetic
- changes to make these functions clearer and better synced with
- sibling code in `tap-driver.sh'.
- Other minor cosmetic and typo fixes.
- * lib/tap-driver.sh (extract_tap_comment): Remove outdated
- "FIXME" comments.
- (get_global_test_result): Small reordering to make it better
- synced with its sibling function in `tap-driver.pl'.
- (stringify_result_obj): Consistently use `result_obj' as the
- parameter name.
- Other minor cosmetic and typo fixes.
- 2011-08-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/perl: don't redirect perl warnings/errors to log files
- With this change, the test `tap-driver-stderr.test' also passes
- with the perl implementation of the TAP driver.
- * lib/tap-driver.pl (start): Save the original stderr into the
- `OLDERR' file handle, and call ...
- (trap_perl_warnings_and_errors): ... this new function, trapping
- the `__WARN__' and `__DIE__' "pseudo-signals" to ensure that the
- warning and error messages goes to that original stderr stream.
- Since we are at it, be sure to prepend all possible "die" message
- with the name of the script as given by the `$ME' variable.
- 2011-08-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/perl: add copyright notice, version string, and emacs stuff
- * lib/tap-driver.pl: Add proper copyright notice and bug reporting
- address. Remove obsolete heading comments. Add trailing comments
- for emacs w.r.t. code-formatting rules and automatic updating of
- the date-based script version saved into the `$VERSION' variable.
- ($VERSION): Define to the current UTC date.
- 2011-08-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: don't redirect awk stderr to log files
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Handle the file descriptors redirections
- more smartly, to avoid sending error messages from awk (about
- e.g. syntax or I/O errors) to the log files instead that to the
- console.
- * tests/tap-driver-stderr.test: New test, verifying the improved
- driver behaviour. Notice that this test still fails when using
- the perl implementation of the TAP driver.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_other_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: remove obsolete "FIXME" comment
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Remove obsolete "FIXME" comment about our
- driver losing the exit status of the tested program; this issue
- has been solved in precedent commit `v1.11-1052-gd630a0d'. Fix
- an unrelated typo in comments since we are at it.
- 2011-08-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: avoid spurious failure on Solaris
- * tests/tap-signal.test (signal_caught): Fix a regression from
- commit `v1.11-1052-gd630a0d' that was causing this test to fail
- spuriously on Solaris (due to an already worked-around Solaris
- /bin/sh bug, see commit `v1.11-981-g0ef3ef5').
- 2011-08-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: use the new awk+shell TAP driver in our own testsuite
- * tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_DRIVER): Redefine to use the new
- awk+shell tap driver, which should be complete enough for use in
- a "controlled" production environment.
- 2011-08-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: handle non-zero exit status from the test command
- * lib/tap-driver.sh (get_test_exit_message): New function in the
- awk script, used to extract the exit status of the test program,
- or at least a good guess of it.
- (write_test_results): Use it, reporting an ERROR result if it
- detects that the test program exited with a non-zero status.
- * tests/tap-signal.test: Account for the differences in the
- error messages generated by the awk and perl TAP drivers. Fix
- an unrelated typo in comments since we are at it.
- 2011-08-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: prepare to fetch the exit status of the test command
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Rewrite some logic in the main parsing loop,
- to make it possible to read the exit status of the test command
- from the last line of the input stream.
- 2011-08-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: refactor for future changes
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Rewrite the awk script so that the parsing
- of the input stream is implemented as a hand-rolled loop in the
- BEGIN block, using the `getline' builtin.
- 2011-08-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: avoid spurious failure if rst2html program is missing
- * tests/tap-html.test ($required): Require `rst2html'.
- 2011-08-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: support Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/awk
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Use `\t', not `\\t', to represent tabulation
- character in regexps, even when inside double-quoted strings; that
- seems to be more portable to Solaris 10 XPG4 awk.
- 2011-08-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: support Solaris /usr/bin/nawk
- * lib/tap-driver.sh (close_or_die): Remove, the use of the `close'
- builtin in there was confusing /usr/bin/nawk from Solaris 10 into
- a syntax error.
- (write_test_results): Simply use `close' on the `*.trs' file, that
- should be enough.
- 2011-08-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: correctly extract message from SKIP plans
- * lib/tap-driver.sh (/^1\.\.0+[ \t]*#/): Add a forgotten `?' to
- the regex used to extract the skip message from a "1..0" TAP plan.
- * tests/planskip.test: Check for the just-fixed bug.
- * tests/tap-planskip-unplanned-corner.test: Don't be too strict
- w.r.t. the formatting of the "skip whole test" message, to avoid
- failing due to bugs irrelevant for this test (like the one just
- fixed).
- 2011-08-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap/awk: support colorized output
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Pass definition of colors to the BEGIN block
- of the awk script, using ...
- ($init_colors): ... this new variable, which supersedes ...
- ($red, $grn, $lgn, $blu, $mgn, $std): ... these variables, which
- have been consequently removed.
- ($color_tests): We don't have to pass this anymore to the awk
- script, so do not convert it to a numeric boolean.
- (decorate_result): Implement for real.
- With this change, the test 'tap-color.test' now passes.
- 2011-08-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: real (but still incomplete) awk implementation of TAP driver
- * lib/tap-driver.sh: Add an incomplete, but mostly working,
- implementation of a TAP parser and driver in awk. It doesn't yet
- support colorized output, fetching of exit status from test
- programs, nor a way to escape TAP directives in TAP result lines,
- but passes all the tests of TAP support in the automake testsuite,
- apart from the following ones:
- - tap-color.test
- - tap-escape-directive.test
- - tap-exit.test
- - tap-missing-plan-and-bad-exit.test
- - tap-passthrough-exit.test
- - tap-planskip-badexit.test
- - tap-planskip-unplanned-corner.test
- - tap-signal.test
- Tested on Debian GNU/Linux with GNU awk 3.1.7 and 3.0.2, "original
- awk" 2010-05-23-1, and mawk 1.3.3-15 (with which also the test
- `tap-realtime.test' fails, in addition to those listed above).
- 2011-08-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: fix spurious failure due to Solaris 'wc' incompatibility
- * tests/tap-number-wordboundary.test ($planned): Strip any extra
- whitespace from the output of `wc', to cater to Solaris 10.
- 2011-08-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: keyword "SKIP" in TAP plan is case-insensitive
- * tests/tap-planskip-case-insensitive.test: New test.
- * tests/tap-planskip.test: Remove now-duplicated checks.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: ambiguous use of TAP "TODO"/"SKIP" directives
- * tests/tap-ambiguous-directive.test: New test.

- 2011-08-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: non-directive comments in TAP results are preserved
- * tests/tap-result-comment.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: TAP result number followed by non-whitespace word boundary
- * tests/tap-number-wordboundary.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: a TAP result numbered "0" is always out-of-order
- * tests/tap-test-number-0.test: New, checks that a test result
- numbered as 0 is to be considered out-of-order; this is
- consistent with the behaviour of the `prove' utility.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- cosmetics: fix botched indentation in perl TAP driver
- * lib/tap-driver.pl (main, Getopt::Long::GetOptions): Fix
- improper or botched indentation.
- 2011-08-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: some more tests on corner cases of TAP support
- * tests/tap-no-spurious.test: Extend checks verifying that a line
- matching, say, the regex "^ok[a-zA-Z0-9_]" is *not* considered a
- TAP result.
- * tests/tap-no-spurious-numbers.test: New test, checking that our
- TAP driver doesn't spuriously recognize as TAP result numbers what
- is not (even if it seems pretty close).
- * tests/tap-negative-numbers.test: New test, checking that our
- TAP driver doesn't spuriously recognize negative TAP result
- numbers, but correctly interprets them as test descriptions
- instead.
- * tests/tap-plan-leading-zero.test, tap-numbers-leading-zero.test:
- New tests, checking how our driver fares in recognizing numbers
- with leading zeroes in TAP results or TAP plans.
- * tests/tap-planskip-malformed.test: New test, checking that a
- malformed TAP plan is not recognized as a valid plan.
- * tests/tap-plan-whitespace.test: New test, checking that a TAP
- plan line with trailing whitespace is recognized and handled
- correctly.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: various fixlets and tweakings
- * tests/seenc.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter.
- Add a trailing `:' command.
- * tests/symlink.test: Likewise. Also, define `$am_create_testdir'
- to "empty" to avoid bringing in unused auxiliary files (only to
- have to remove them right away), and use proper m4 quoting in
- `configure.in'.
- * tests/vpath.test: Make grepping of generated `Makefile.in'
- slightly stricter. Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
- * tests/suffix6c.test: Unset OBJEXT to avoid interferences from
- the environment.
- * tests/suffix12.test: Do not whitespace-indent `##' comments
- when they are embedded in a makefile rule: having them indented
- is not part of the Automake API, and might cause failures with
- e.g., Tru64 make.
- * tests/syntax.test: Simplify the `Makefile.am' to ensure that
- automake doesn't fail for the wrong reasons. Make grepping of
- automake stderr slightly stricter.
- * tests/test-harness-vpath-rewrite.test: Remove useless variable
- definition from `Makefile.am'.
- * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest.test: Fix typo in comments.
- * tests/self-check-me.tap: Fix minor typo in test description.
- * tests/vars3.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter
- and safer.
- * tests/version6.test: Add sanity check, verifying that the
- version number extracted from `automake --version' output seems
- legit.
- * tests/auxdir2.test: Renamed ...
- * tests/auxdir-compauted.tap: ... to this, and converted to the
- use of TAP.
- * tests/auxdir4.test: Renamed ...
- * tests/auxdir-unportable.tap: ... to this, and converted to the
- use of TAP.
- * tests/auxdir3.test: Renamed ...

- (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove `auxdir2.test'.
- 2011-08-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: fix some redundant autotools calls in tests on TAP
- * tests/tap-deps.test: Do not call autotools and configure; there
- is no need to, since this script sources `tap-setup.sh'.
- * tests/tap-empty-diagnostic.test: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-escape-directive.test: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-fancy2.test: Likewise.

- parallel-tests: no more spurious successes for FreeBSD make
- Work around a bug of FreeBSD make bug that was causing the
- automake-generated "check" target to complete with success
- even if some tests failed; this happened only when FreeBSD
- make was run in concurrent mode (as in, e.g., "make -j2
- check"). The bug is not present in NetBSD make.
- This change fixes automake bug#9245:
- <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9245>
- See also FreeBSD PR bin/159730:
- <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=159730>
- * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Use a
- more "safe" (and apparently redundant) idiom to exit with error,
- so that the non-zero exit status is picked up also by FreeBSD
- make when it's running in concurrent mode.
- * NEWS: Update.
- * tests/check-concurrency-bug9245.test: New test.

- tap: improve granularity for tests on problematic TAP messages
- * tests/tap-message-0.test: Break up into ...
- * tests/tap-msg0-result.test, tests/tap-msg0-directive.test,
- tests/tap-msg0-planskip.test, tests/tap-msg0-misc.test,
- tests/tap-msg0-bailout.test: ... these new tests, and extend
- a little.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: correctly handle string "0" in TAP messages
- * lib/tap-driver.pl (is_null_string): New function, can be used
- to determine whether a given string variable is empty or undefined.
- Useful to avoid pitfalls like:
- if ($message) { print "$message\n"; }
- which wouldn't print anything if $message is the literal "0".
- (handle_tap_test, handle_tap_plan, handle_tap_bailout): Use it,
- to avoid missing messages composed only by a literal "0" in TAP
- result descriptions and in skip, todo and bailout explanations.
- * tests/tap-message-0.test: Enhance.
- * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove it, it passes now.
- 2011-08-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: a minor simplification in the perl TAP driver
- * lib/tap-driver.pl: The `--disable-hard-errors' option is a
- no-op, so just ignore it and its argument.
- 2011-08-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- parallel-tests: fix help screen for test driver scripts
- * lib/tap-driver.pl ($USAGE): The `--trs-file' option is mandatory
- too.
- * lib/tap-driver.sh (print_usage): Likewise.
- * lib/test-driver (print_usage): Likewise.
- ($scriptversion): Update.
- 2011-08-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: add a dummy TAP driver script implemented in shell + awk
- The user can also now decide which implementation of the TAP driver
- to use in the testsuite by defining the `$am_tap_implementation'
- variable to either "perl" or "shell". Future enhancements will
- allow the testsuite to automatically run the test scripts on TAP
- support with both the TAP driver implementations, to improve
- coverage.
- * tests/defs (fetch_tap_driver): Honor the `$am_tap_implementation'
- variable to decide which implementation of the TAP driver to fetch.
- ($am_tap_implementation): Default to "perl".
- * tests/tap-common-setup.test: Do not fetch the TAP driver, the
- code in tap-setup.sh does that already (and respecting runtime
- overriding of `$am_tap_implementation').
- * lib/tap-driver: Renamed ...
- * lib/tap-driver.pl: ... to this, and ...
- ($ME): ... adjusted this.
- * doc/automake.texi: Adjust to the renaming.

- it, rewrite it to make it easier to add new entries in the future.
- 2011-08-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: refactor tests on TAP support in view of future changes
- * tests/defs (fetch_tap_driver): New subroutine; it fetches the
- automake-provided TAP driver from the `lib/' directory into the
- current directory, and edits its shebang line so that it will be
- run with the perl interpreter determined at configure time.
- * tests/tap-setup.sh: Use it.
- * tests/tap-common-setup.test: There's no need to AC_SUBST `PERL'
- anymore, nor to use it in the Makefile to run the TAP driver.
- Also, use the `fetch_tap_driver' function instead of copying the
- `tap-driver' auxiliary script directly.

- testsuite: fix an unportable use of sed
- * tests/tap-todo-skip-whitespace.test: Alternation with "\|" in
- sed regular expressions is not portable to (at least) FreeBSD
- sed; do not use it.
- 2011-08-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: avoid spurious failure if rst2html program is missing
- * tests/test-driver-custom-no-html.test: Account for the
- possibility of a lacking `rst2html' program in our final
- grepping of make output.
- 2011-08-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: improve diagnosing and reporting of plan mismatches
- Problem exposed by a failure in the test 'tap-plan-errors.test'.
- * lib/tap-driver (NO_PLAN, EARLY_PLAN, LATE_PLAN): New constants.
- (Throughout the file): Use more complex semantics for `$plan_seen',
- which now also remember whether the plan that has been seen is an
- "early" or "late" plan; in turn, this makes ...
- ($tap_stopped): ... this variable redundant; remove it.
- (handle_tap_plan): Adjust to avoid producing spurious or confusing
- error messages about extra or mismatched "late" TAP plans.
- * tests/tap-plan-corned.test: Adjust and extend.

- 2011-08-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: log all TAP stream, even after a "Bail out!"
- * lib/tap-driver ($bailed_out): New global boolean variable,
- telling whether a "Bail out!" directive has been seen or not.
- (handle_tap_bailout): This function does not anymore stop the
- reading from TAP stream; instead, it sets `$bailed_out' to a
- true value, so that only the subsequent parsing of the input
- TAP stream is stopped.
- (finish): Remove, no more needed, its contents inlined into ...
- (main): ... this function, with related adjustments in the code
- flow.
- (get_test_exit_message): Do not "flush" the input TAP stream
- to fetch the exit status of test script, it is not anymore
- required. Add a sanity check.
- * tests/tap-bailout-and-logging.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: improve some comments in the TAP driver
- * lib/tap-driver (handle_tap_plan): Improve comments describing
- possible errors in a "plan with SKIP" directive.
- 2011-08-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: non-zero exit status after "Bail out!" should not be reported
- This new behaviour is more consistent with that of the `prove'
- utility. Also, experience with the use of TAP in the Automake's
- own test suite has shown that reporting non-zero exit status from
- a script after it has issued a "Bail out!" directive is mostly
- redundant, more introducing noise rather than conveying useful
- information.
- * lib/tap-driver (finish): Inline the part of it that was getting
- the script exit status ...
- (main): ... in here.
- * tests/tap-bailout-badexit.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: a "plan with SKIP" after test results is an error
- This new behaviour is both more natural and more consistent with
- that of the `prove' utility.
- * lib/tap-driver (handle_tap_plan): Do not stop TAP parsing when
- a "plan with SKIP" line (e.g., "1..0 # SKIP") is encountered, and
- do not print a "SKIP" line if some TAP result has already been
- seen.
- * tests/tap-skip-whole.test: Adapt.
- * tests/tap-skip-whole-lastline.test: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-global-result.test: Adapt and extend.
- * tests/tap-skip-plan-errors.test: Likewise, and fix an obsolete
- small part of a comment.
- * tests/tap-skip-whole-bailout.test: New test.
- * tests/tap-skip-whole-unplanned.test: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-skip-whole-continue.test: Likewise.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test harness: avoid possible fork bomb
- This fixes a regression w.r.t. the master branch, exposed by
- test 'parallel-tests-fork-bomb.test'.
- * lib/am/check.am (am--redo-logs): Detect possible infinite
- recursion due to a test log in $(TEST_LOGS) being the same
- as $(TEST_SUITE_LOG).
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: enhance test against infinite recursion in test harness
- * tests/parallel-tests-fork-bomb.test: Enhance and extend a
- little now, for soon-to-be-implemented more explicit and safer
- semantics.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- coverage: possible infinite recursion in the test harness
- Motivated by a regression in the 'test-protocols' branch.
- * tests/parallel-tests-fork-bomb.test: New test, checking that
- if $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) is in $(TEST_LOGS), we obtain a diagnosed
- error rather than a make hang or a fork bomb.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: yet more environment cleanup
- * tests/defs: Also unset the TEST_SUITE_LOG variable.
- 2011-08-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- self tests: some minor refactoring
- * tests/self-check-exit.tap: Disable the `errexit' shell flag;
- this allow to remove some boilerplate idioms and to make some
- code slightly less cumbersome.
- * tests/self-check-me.tap: Likewise.
- 2011-08-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- maintcheck: look for TAP-based tests without TAP plan
- * Makefile.am (sc_tests_tap_plan): New maintainer check.
- (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
- * tests/suffix10.tap: Declare a TAP plan.
- * tests/add-missing.tap: Likewise.
- 2011-08-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: avoid confusing SKIP messages for errored tests
- * tests/defs [$use_tap] (exit trap): Don't print the test plan
- in case the client script exited with a non-zero status. This
- avoids the display of redundant "SKIP" messages for tests with
- lazy plans that error out before any test is run.
- 2011-08-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: keep more debugging info around in 'add-missing.tap'
- * tests/add-missing.tap: Use a different directory for each test,
- so that in case of failure more information is kept around.
- Since we are at it, remove redundant TAP diagnostic, and define
- `$am_create_testdir' to "empty" to avoid bringing in unused
- auxiliary files.
- 2011-08-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: more granular count of test results in our TAP library
- * tests/tap-functions.sh ($tap_bad_count_): Removed, superseded
- by ...
- ($tap_fail_count_, $tap_xpass_count_): ... these new variables,
- which keep more granular counts.
- ($tap_pass_count_: New variable.
- * tests/defs (exit trap): Adjust and simplify accordingly.
- 2011-08-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: fixlets and improvements in two long TAP-based tests
- * tests/depmod.tap: Clean up the subdirectories used by tests that
- passed, to avoid ending up with a too big test directory. This is
- especially important since, on each and every system, at least some
- tests in this script are expected to be skipped (which ones exactly
- depends on the system), thus causing the test directory not to be
- removed when the script terminates.
- * tests/instspc.tap: Likewise (with the difference that tests here
- are not expected to be skipped, but to xfail). Give more explicit
- error message in case of setup failure. Skip the proper number of
- tests when required, to avoid spurious errors due to mismatched
- plan. Also, really avoid to run the unsupported test cases when
- the need to skip them is detected.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test harness: recursive make invocations must use $(AM_MAKEFLAGS)
- * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Pass $(AM_MAKEFLAGS)
- to $(MAKE) when issuing a recursive make call.
- Problem detected by the `sc_tests_make_without_am_makeflags'
- maintainer check.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix spurious failure in 'suffix-chain.tap'
- * tests/suffix-chain.test: Use more uncommon suffixes that
- don't trigger built-in recipes with FreeBSD make.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: improvements to our shell TAP library and APIs
- These improvements impact only the Automake's own testsuite.
- * tests/tap-functions.sh (plan_): Allow new special arguments
- "unknown" a.k.a. "later" and "lazy" a.k.a. "now". Perform
- sanity check the given arguments. Adjust incorrect comments.
- (lazy_plan_): Removed, superseded by the new version of `plan_'.
- (not): New function, run a command and inverts its exit status.
- (ok_, not_ok_, skip_): These are just shorthands for common
- `result_' usages.
- (xfail_, xpass_, reset_test_count_): Removed, they are not used,
- nor does a legitimate use for them seem in sight.
- (not): New function, to run a command inverting its exit status.
- (command_not_ok_): Removed, superseded by `command_ok_' + `not'.
- (command_ok_): Extended to accept TAP directives.
- * tests/defs (trap): Don't use `late_plan_' anymore, use
- `plan_ "now"' instead.
- * tests/ac-output-old.tap: Update to take advantage of the new
- APIs.
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/suffix-chain.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/suffix10.tap: Likewise.

- * tests/suffix3.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/suffix8.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/self-check-exit.tap: Likewise, plus a small improvement
- in the name of a variable.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: convert some `suffix*' tests to TAP
- This will allow us to explicitly declare some expected failures
- involving Solaris make as such, instead of partly papering over
- them with skips and partly letting them fail too loudly.
- * tests/suffix-chain.test: Rename ...
- * tests/suffix-chain.tap: ... to this, and convert to the use of
- TAP. Also, fix some bugs since we are at it, and ...
- ($required): ... require `cc'.
- * tests/suffix3.test: Rename ...
- * tests/suffix3.tap: ... to this, and convert to the use of TAP.
- Also, since we are at it, throw in some formatting fixes.
- * tests/suffix8.test: Rename ...
- * tests/suffix8.tap: ... to this, and convert to the use of TAP.
- Also, since we are at it, throw in some formatting fixes.
- * tests/suffix10.test: Rename ...
- * tests/suffix10.tap: ... to this, and convert to the use of TAP.
- * tests/suffix11.test: Rename ...
- * tests/suffix11.tap: ... to this, and convert to the use of TAP.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: don't let a known Solaris make bug poison too many tests
- See automake bug#7670 and bug#7824.
- * tests/defs (make_can_chain_suffix_rules): New function, tell
- whether the make implementation in use can chain suffix rules
- automatically or not.
- * tests/suffix3.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
- are unportable to make implementations that are not smart enough
- to chain suffix rules automatically.
- * tests/suffix8.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
- * tests/suffix10.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
- * tests/suffix11.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
- * tests/suffix-chain.test: New test, exposes the limitation that
- we have papered over in the tests above.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- gitignore: more use of anchors
- * .gitignore: Anchor files that are intended to be ignored only
- if found in the same directory of the `.gitignore' file, not also
- in its subdirectories.
- * doc/.gitignore, doc/amhello/.gitignore, lib/Automake/.gitignore,
- lib/Automake/tests/.gitignore, tests/.gitignore: Likewise. Also,
- where needed, add new entries that were once implied by the
- non-anchored entries in the upper-level `.gitignore' files.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- self tests: avoid spurious output on console, and related fixlets
- * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Set `$stderr_fileno_' to `2'
- in the self tests, to avoid spurious diagnostic on console.
- * tests/self-check-exit.tap: Only unset `am_explicit_skips' and
- `$stderr_fileno_' in the self tests, not at the global level, it
- is more correct.
- ($init): New variable, to reduce code duplication.
- Some refactoring and adjustments to the name of the tests.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: few more sanity checks
- * tests/defs: Catch some more (very unlikely) set-up or internal
- errors, and diagnose them explicitly. This is intended mostly
- to be a theoretic-only improvement.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: really make them "set -e" clean
- Motivated by a spurious failure of test `instsh3-w.shtst' on
- Solaris 10.
- * tests/defs: Make really "set -e" clean, to avoid spurious
- failures in case this file is sourced by a test script that has
- already set the `errexit' flag. To be sure we don't regress,
- move the `set -e' call much earlier, and make the comment telling
- about the expected "set -e" cleanliness more loud and outstanding.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- self tests: register an expected failures with Solaris /bin/sh
- Solaris 10 /bin/sh erroneously exit with success right away when
- the following three conditions are met at the same time:
- 1. the `errexit' flag is active,
- 2. an exit trap is installed, and
- 3. a non-existing command is issued.
- * tests/self-exit.tap: When that bug is detected, issue an XFAIL
- rather than a FAIL. Since we are at it, improve by avoiding
- creation of stray temporary files when testing for non-executable
- commands.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- gitignore: update and improve for the testsuite files
- * tests/.gitignore: Don't ignore temporary partial log files,
- autogenerated tests and makefile fragments that are not used
- anymore. Anchor all the remaining patterns.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- self tests: some new uses of TAP, few extensions
- * tests/self-check-me.test: Renamed ...
- * tests/self-check-me.tap: .. to this, and converted to use TAP.
- * tests/self-check-exit.test: Renamed ...
- * tests/self-check-exit.tap: .. to this, and converted to use TAP.
- Set `$stderr_fileno_' to `2', to avoid spurious messages on the
- console. Add a new test, and relax another one.
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Renamed ...
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.tap: .. to this, and converted to
- the use TAP.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: test directory creation more configurable
- After this change, the individual tests will be able to tell
- `./defs' whether or not to create a temporary test directory
- for them, and if yes, whether or not to pre-populate it.
- * tests/defs: Only create the temporary test directory if the
- variable `$am_create_testdir' is not set to "no". In this
- case, only pre-populate it if that variable is not set to
- `$empty'.
- * tests/defs-static.in: Check that `$am_create_testdir' is not
- exported in the environment.
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update.
- * tests/self-check-dir.test: Extend, and make deeper and more
- robust.
- * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
- Update.
- * tests/autodist.test: Set `$am_create_testdir' instead of
- removing by hand files created by ./defs.
- * tests/tap-doc2.test: Likewise.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: more uses of the `seq_' function
- * tests/parallel-tests-exit-statuses.test: Use the `seq_' function
- from `tests/defs', instead of duplicating its semantics.
- * tests/testsuite-summary-count.test: Likewise.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: drop redundant environment sanitization
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Don't remove `planned'
- from the environment.
- * tests/defs-static.in: Don't complain if `planned' is set in
- the environment.
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: fix bug in plain version of `skip_all_'
- * tests/plain-functions.sh (skip_all_): Call `skip_', not `skip'.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: small cleanups and tweakings
- * tests/defs: Where possible, prefer `framework_failure_' or
- `fatal_' to `Exit 99'. Try to catch more possible hard errors
- and setup failures. Do not hide expected error messages. Avoid
- a couple of forks when copying files from `$(top_srcdir)/lib'.
- ($signal): Remove, no more needed.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: improve interface for giving early TAP plan
- Since commit `v1.11-976-g4740f56', an early TAP plan can also be
- specified after input lines have already been seen, as long as
- no one of them is a TAP result line. We can now take advantage
- of this in our own testsuite, allowing the TAP-based scripts to
- specify their earlier plan after having included `./defs'. In
- particular, this offers the benefit of allowing those scripts to
- issue a "skip all" plan (e.g., "1..0 # SKIP reason ...") after
- the inclusion of `./defs', which wasn't possible with the older
- interface (introduced in commit `v1.11-1114-g0286308').
- * tests/defs: Don't try to call `plan_' if `$planned' is defined,
- the calling scripts can do that directly now.
- * tests/ac-output-old.tap: Use `plan_' directly instead of
- setting `$planned' before including `./defs'.
- * tests/automake-cmdline.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/depmod.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/instspc.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/add-missing.tap: Don't set `$planned'.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: fix bug in TAP version of `skip_all_'
- * tests/tap-functions (skip_all_): Set `$have_tap_plan_' to "yes"
- when called, so that the exit trap won't write another TAP plan.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: fix skip directives to work also with TAP-based tests
- * test/defs: Use `skip_all_', not `skip_', to issue a skip of the
- whole calling test script.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: more environment cleanup
- * tests/defs: Also unset variables AM_COLOR_TESTS and

- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test harness: more minor VPATH-rewrite issues
- * tests/am/check.am (am__set_TESTS_bases, $(TEST_SUITE_LOGS),
- am--redo-logs, recheck, recheck-html): Cosmetic fixlets to
- minimize the risk of unwanted VPATH rewrites.
- (check-TESTS): Likewise, and normalize trailing whitespace
- since we are at it.
- Bugs exposed by test cases `check6-p.test' and `check7-p.test'.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test harness: "make -n check" works correctly with Solaris make
- To avoid some recipes being executed with "make -n", we used the
- trick of issuing recursive make calls not directly with $(MAKE),
- but with a simple indirection instead:
- ...
- am__stealth_MAKE = $(MAKE)
- ...
- target:
- ... $(am__stealth_MAKE) ...
- ...
- This hack worked with GNU make, but, unfortunately, not with
- Solaris make. The present change removes the hack, and uses more
- proper idioms to avoid unwanted recipe executions with "make -n".
- Bug exposed by test case `parallel-tests-dry-run.test'.
- * lib/am/check.am (am__stealth_MAKE): Remove, no more used.
- (.log.trs): Break recipe in multiple shell invocations.
- ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Likewise, and move some corner-case parts of
- the recipe to ...
- (am--redo-logs): ... this new internal helper .PHONY target.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix spurious failure with Solaris make
- * tests/distcheck-configure-flags-am.test: Avoid using `+=' too
- liberally with AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, since the line breaks
- so introduced, in conjunction with single quotes, might confuse
- Solaris make.
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test harness: fixlet in workaround for VPATH rewrite issue
- Fixes a minor in previous commit `v1.11-983-gfda3de5'.
- * lib/am/check.am (am__set_TESTS_bases): Add forgotten end-of-line
- anchor to sed expression. In comments, add reference to ...
- * tests/test-trs-basic.test: ... this test, which has been adapted
- and tightened (and tweaked).
- 2011-08-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test harness: work around a VPATH rewrite issue
- * lib/am/check.am (am__TEST_BASES): Removed, it's role taken
- over by ...
- (am__set_TESTS_bases): ... these new variable.
- ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Use it, to avoid VPATH rewrite issues.
- * automake.in (handle_tests): Update the code for the cleanup
- of the `.trs' file to use `$(TEST_LOGS)' instead of
- `$(am__TEST_BASES)'.
- * tests/test-harness-vpath-rewrite.test: New test, better
- exposing the problem fixed by this change
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
- * tests/test-trs-basic.test: Update and extend.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- parallel-tests: work around Solaris XPG4 make segfault
- Issue exposed by test `posixsubst-tests-p.test', and similar to
- the problem solved by commit `v1.11-159-ge7aa360'.
- * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Trim trailing
- whitespace from $list, to avoid triggering a nasty bug (potential
- segfault) on Solaris XPG4 make and Heirloom make.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: fix weird spurious failure with Solaris /bin/sh
- Solaris /bin/sh, when killed with a SIGTERM or SIGINT signal, can
- apparently end up exiting with exit status 208, instead of leaving
- the correct wide exit status to the parent. See:
- <http://dbaspot.com/shell/396118-bourne-shell-exit-code-term.html>
- Work around this incompatibility.
- * tap-signal.test: Look for the above Solaris bug.
- (signal_caught): Adapt to handle it.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: fix another spurious failure on Solaris make
- * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-recheck.test: Filter make
- output before grepping it, for make implementations that, like
- Solaris' one, print the whole of the failed recipe on failure.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: fix two spurious failures on Solaris make
- * tests/tests-environment-and-log-compiler.test: Do not fail if
- "make -n check" fails, as that is issued only for debugging, its
- semantics being tested in other test scripts.
- * tests/test-driver-strip-vpath.test: Likewise.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap driver: refactor and remove dead code
- * lib/tap-driver (get_tap_line): Removed, ...
- (all callers): ... updated to use $parser->next directly instead.
- (peek_tap_line, unget_tap_line, @tap_lines): Remove, they're not
- used anymore.
- (TAP_PEEKING): Block deleted, all its subroutines and variables
- having been removed.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: fix spurious failure in a test on TAP support
- * tests/tap-passthrough-exit.test: When the `--ignore-exit' flag
- of the TAP driver is used, don't look for a message reporting the
- non-zero exit statuses of tests in the log files; such message is
- not expected to be there anymore. Related simplifications.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: plan location is more liberal w.r.t. non-TAP lines
- With this change, only lines that are TAP results will matter
- w.r.t. the position of the TAP plan in the input; for example,
- this input:
- this is a non-TAP line
- # and this a TAP diagnostic line
- 1..1
- ok 1
- was considered to be an error, diagnosed with a message "test
- plan in middle of output"; as effect of the current change, such
- input is now valid. This is more consistent with the behaviour
- of the `prove' utility.
- * lib/tap-driver ($lineno): Removed, no more needed.
- ($tap_stopped): New global variable.
- (stringify_test_result): Return "ERROR" if a TAP result is found
- when `$tap_stopped' is set to true.
- (handle_tap_test): Diagnose TAP results that comes after a late
- plan. Add a couple of blank lines, for clarity.
- (handle_tap_plan): Set `$tap_stopped' to true after a late plan
- is encountered. Do not complain anymore for extra non-TAP lines
- preceding or following the plan. Adjust comments.
- (main): Don't increment $lineno anymore.
- * tests/tap-plan.test: Extend a bit, and remove stale comment.
- * tests/tap-color.test: Adjust.
- * tests/tap-passthrough.test: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-plan-corner.test: Adjust and extend.
- * tests/tap-plan-errors.test: Likewise.

- * tests/tap-plan-corner2.test: Delete, it's obsolete now.
- * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove it.
- (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Likewise, and add
- `tap-plan-corner.test'.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: remove now-passing test from XFAIL_TESTS
- * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove `tap-signal.test',
- which is passing since previous commit `v1.11-974-gc7fa872'.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: get name of TAP-using tests correctly
- This change fixes the names of the temporary directories used
- by the TAP-based tests (e.g., test `foo.tap' now uses `foo.dir'
- rather than `foo.tap.dir'); more importantly, this make the
- variable `$destdir' defined in `tests/defs' usable also in the
- TAP tests.
- ($me): Also strip the any `.tap' suffix from the name of the
- test.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: TAP tests properly decide when to remove tempdirs
- Before this change, the TAP tests in the Automake testsuite were
- removing the temporary test directory even when they failed or
- were skipped, thus making debugging more difficult.
- * tests/tap-functions.sh (incr_tap_count): Removed, superseded
- by ...
- (incr_): ... this function, which can increment the value of any
- variable passed to it.
- (result_): Updated to use `incr_' instead of the now-removed
- `incr_tap_count_'. Keep count of failures, xfailures, xpasses,
- and skips, using ...
- ($tap_skip_count_, $tap_bad_count, _$tap_xfail_count_): ...
- these new variables.
- * tests/defs (trap): Try to use their values to decide whether
- the temporary directory being used by the test script should be
- removed or not. Other code reorganizations. And move the code
- for the removal of the temporary directory out to ...
- (rm_rf_): ... this new subroutine.
- (Main code): Use that instead of duplicating the code.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: improve and refactor our custom TAP shell library
- This change is mostly done in preparation for the next one.
- * tests/tap-functions.sh (result_with_directive_): Merge into ...
- (result_): ... this function, which has been greatly extended and
- improved in various ways.
- (ok_, not_ok_, skip_, xfail_, xpass_): Adjust.
- Adjust comments. Remove an extra empty line.
- * tests/instspc.tap: Use the new improved interface of `result_'.
- * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: Likewise.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: update "user interface" description in tests/README
- * tests/README (Subsection "Interpretation"): Mention the "ERROR"
- outcome.
- (Subsection "Getting details from failures"): Don't tell that the
- test scripts can be run directly, this is not 100% true; anymore;
- instead ...
- (Subsection "About the tests"): ... use this new subsection to
- explain how to run the tests (either simple or TAP-based) by hand.
- (Subsection "Supported shells"): Extend to refer to TAP tests too.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: TAP tests can have early plan now
- * tests/defs: When using TAP, allow the user to specify the number
- of tests through the `$planned' variable.
- (trap): Do not print the auto-generated plan if an explicit one
- has already been printed.
- * tests/defs-static.in: Complain and bail out if the `$planned'
- variable is exported in the environment. Reformat the code to
- facilitate future additions.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Neutralize `$planned'.
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update.
- * tests/ac-output-old.tap: Give an explicit TAP plan, by defining
- `$planned' just before including `./defs'.
- * tests/depmode.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/automake-cmdline.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: Likewise.
- * tests/instspc.tap: Likewise, and related adjustments.
- * tests/add-missing.tap: Make it explicit that we have no a-priori
- plan, and tell why.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: run autogenerated tests with $(LOG_COMPILER) too
- This change enhances consistency in the testsuite.
- * tests/Makefile.am: Some cosmetic reordering, to keep the
- definition of FOO_LOG_COMPILER near to the place where `.foo'
- is added to $(TEST_EXTENSIONS).
- (PTEST_LOG_COMPILER): Run `$(srcdir)/parallel-tests.sh' with
- `$(LOG_COMPILER)', not with `$(SHELL)'.
- (SHTST_LOG_COMPILER): Likewise.
- 2011-08-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: run TAP and "plain" tests with the same $(LOG_COMPILER)
- With this change, it will be easier to override, at make time, the
- shell used to run the tests.
- * tests/Makefile.am (LOG_COMPILER): Define to `$(SHELL)'.
- (TEST_LOG_COMPILER): Re-define to `$(LOG_COMPILER)'.
- (TAP_LOG_COMPILER): Likewise.
- 2011-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: run TAP-based tests explicitly with $(SHELL)
- * tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_COMPILER): Define to `$(SHELL)'.
- 2011-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap driver: handle signals received by the tests being run
- * lib/tap-driver (get_test_exit_message): Also deal with signals,
- by using the `wait' method of the TAP::Parser object instead of
- the `exit' method. This required the use of the standard perl
- module `POSIX'.
- * doc/automake.texi (Use TAP with the Automake test harness):
- Document that `--ignore-exit' has effect also on terminating
- signals. Add a "synchronizing" comment that references the tests
- 'tap-exit.test' and 'tap-signal.test'.
- * tests/tap-signal.test: Extend and adjust.
- 2011-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- tap driver: a preparatory refactoring (1)
- * lib/tap-driver (finish): Do not flush the TAP stream nor
- fetch the exit status of the TAP producer if running with
- the `--ignore-exit' option. Obviously, don't try to write
- such exit status in the test log anymore.
- 2011-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- cosmetics: typofix in the name of a function in the TAP driver
- * lib/tap-driver (testuite_error): Renamed ...
- (testsuite_error): ... to this, and minor related reformatting.
- 2011-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: scripts with a SKIP plan but with exit status != 0 must error
- This change has been motivated by Automake's own testsuite. Some
- TAP tests there were erroring out (due to unexpected, unhandled
- failures) before having encountered TAP result, so that the
- simple-minded shell library implementing TAP generation ended up
- printing a "1..0" trailing test plan; this caused the script to be
- reported as a SKIP rather than an ERROR -- a nasty false negative.
- * lib/tap-driver: Add prototypes for each subroutine, to free up
- the order in which they can be defined and called.
- (main): Move the code checking for a bad exit status of the TAP
- producer ...
- (finish): ... here, and flush the TAP stream to ensure that the
- parser always obtains the producer's exit status.
- * tests/tap-skip-whole-badexit.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Add it.
- 2011-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: fix whitespace munging of diagnostic messages
- * lib/tap-driver (extract_tap_comment): Pass the `g' flag to the
- substitution operator, to strip also trailing whitespaces. Fixes
- a failure in test `tap-whitespace-normalization.test'.
- 2011-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: refactor and cleanup 'instspc.tap'
- * tests/instspc.tap (is_in_list): New helper subroutine.
- (expected_to_fail): Re-implement using it.
- (define_problematic_string): Likewise. Also, rename the special
- arguments `build-fail' and 'install-fail' to respectively
- `builddir-fail' and `destdir-fail', and other related changes.
- (Test data definition): Adapt.
- ($instspc_xfail_builds_list): Renamed ...
- ($builddir_xfails): ... to this.
- ($instspc_xfail_installs_list): Renamed ...
- ($destdir_xfails): ... to this.
- ($instspc_names_list): Renamed ...

- Add some explicative and "FIXME" comments.
- 2011-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: use TAP for `depmod*' tests, related simplifications
- * tests/depmod-tests.sh: Delete this complex and multifarious
- script, moving all it checks it used to perform into ...
- * tests/depmod.tap: ... this TAP-based test script. And extend
- it quite a bit, since the new form of the test was papering over
- some pre-existing failures (this was due to the fact that the
- values used for the VPATH were shorter in the new test script).
- * tests/depmod-data.test: Deleted.
- * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/depmod-tests.am): Don't include
- nor generate it anymore.

- testsuite: do fd redirections with $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT)
- * tests/Makefile.am: The redirections of file descriptors needed
- by our test scripts is now done using the $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT)
- variable (the new blessed way since commit `v1.11-906-gb9e9d54'),
- not using an hack involving $(AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT). This has
- the further benefit of allowing the use of $(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT)
- again on part of the users.
- * tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove redirection of
- file descriptors.
- (AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT): Redirect file descriptor 9 to original
- stderr.
- Comments adjusted.
- * tests/plain-functions.sh ($stderr_fileno_): Update comment.
- 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: use custom TAP diagnostic in our own tests
- This change allow us to easily and transparently avoid spurious
- TAP diagnostic in our own testsuite, with the help of the new
- `--diagnostic-string' option of our TAP test driver.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS): Also pass option
- `--diagnostic-string' with value `#%#' (necessarily obtained
- through some shell indirections).
- * tests/tap-functions.sh (diag_): Assume that the string denoting
- TAP diagnostic is stored in the `$diag_string_' variable. Update
- comments.
- ($diag_string_): Initialize to "#".
- * tests/defs ($diag_string_): Re-define to "#%#".
- (show_): Remove, it's obsolete now.
- * add-missing.tap: Don't use `show_' anymore to avoid spurious

- and drivers): Document that limitation. Normalize an unrelated
- "TODO" item.
- 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tap: new option to change the string designating TAP diagnostic
- Here we introduce a new option `--diagnostic-string' in our TAP
- test driver, that allows the user to specify which string should
- denote the beginning of a TAP diagnostic line. This change is
- not gratuitous, nor result if over-engineering: it is motivated
- by real issues that have emerged during the use of TAP in the
- Automake's own testsuite (see the commit `v1.11-1082-g9b967c2'
- "testsuite: yet more use of TAP, and related extensions").
- * doc/automake.texi (Use TAP with Automake test harness): Document
- the new option.

- 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- check: small cleanups and refactorings in test harness and drivers
- * lib/tap-driver (yn): New subroutine, converts a boolean value to

- * lib/test-driver (trap): Also remove the `.trs' file on signals,
- for extra safety.
- (fatal): Remove this function, it's never used.
- ($logfile, $trsfile): Renamed ...
- ($log_file, $trs_file): ... to these, for clarity, and in order to
- be more consistent with the `tap-driver' script.
- Improve a couple of comments.

- make macro `$(TEST_LOGS_TMP)', nor add it to the list of files to
- be removed upon "make mostlyclean".
- * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): New shell function `f_ok',
- tells whether a path refers to an existing, regular, readable file.
- Use it throughout.
- (recheck): Be safer w.r.t. make implementation that run recipes
- with `errexit' shell flag active.
- 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: use AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT where appropriate
- * parallel-tests-interrupt.test: Use AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT, not

- test harness: be aware of more metadata, simplify test drivers
- * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): When producing the
- global test log, take into account the new metadata field
- `:global-test-result:, to write nicely formatted RST section
- titles, instead of leaving this chore to the individual test
- drivers.
- (am_rst_section): Re-introduce this variable, as removed in
- commit `v1.11-870-ga27c9c4'.
- * lib/test-driver, lib/tap-driver: Write the global test result
- as metadata in the `.trs' file, not as (part of) a formatted RST
- subsection title in the `.log' file. Related simplifications;
- in particular, get rid of temporary files usage.

- testsuite: fix another spurious failure
- * tests/parallel-tests-ext-driver.test: Name out custom/dummy
- log compilers as `foo-compiler' rather `foo-driver'; not only
- this is less confusing, it also avoids errors due to the dummy
- log compiler `test-driver' overriding the `test-driver' helper
- script installed by Automake.

- testsuite: yet more use of TAP, and related extensions
- * tests/defs (show_): New function, display the contents of one or
- more files on stdout, with bells & whistles (both for cosmetic and
- practical reasons, the latter aimed at avoiding spurious TAP

- (AUTOMAKE_run): Extend and adapt to make it compatible with TAP
- based tests. Since we are at it, make its implementation more

- tests: relax a test on amhello examples to cater to Solaris tar
- * tests/amhello-binpkg.test: When the tar implementation in use
- is not GNU tar, relax the tests on tar output, to avoid spurious
- failures. For example, "tar cvf ..." with GNU tar can output
- lines like "./usr/bin/hello" on the standard output, while with
- Solaris tar it can output lines like "a ./usr/bin/hello 8K" on
- standard output, and with Heirloom tar it can output lines like
- "a ./usr/bin/hello 15 tape blocks" on standard error.

- test defs: function 'is_newest' now works also with directories
- * tests/defs (is_newest): Call `find' with the `-prune' option,

- 2011-08-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: scaffolding to allow use of TAP in our own tests
- Now that Automake has initial support for the TAP test protocol,
- we can start "eating our own dog food" and rewrite some tests to
- use TAP; this should allow for better granularity, especially in
- the control of skips and expected failures. With this change, we
- set up the initial scaffolding required by the planned TAP tests,
- and convert few older tests to use TAP, mostly in order to verify
- that there are no obvious errors. The tests in our testsuite that
- use the TAP protocol will be marked by the new `.tap' extension.
- * tests/plain-functions.sh: New file containing definition of
- helper shell functions used by the "protocol-less" tests of the
- Automake testsuite.
- * tests/tap-functions.sh: New file containing definition of
- helper shell functions used by the TAP-producing tests of the
- Automake testsuite.
- * tests/defs: Remove definitions of some functions that are
- now defined in `plain-functions.sh'. Instead, source one of
- `plain-functions.sh' or `tap-functions.sh', depending on whether
- `$use_tap' is set to "no" or "yes".
- (exit trap): Call `late_plan_' if `$use_tap' is true. Also,
- unset shell traces before issuing the latest commands, to avoid
- confusing the tap driver with spurious output.
- * tests/defs-static.in ($use_tap): New variable, by default set
- to "yes" if the calling test script has a `.tap' suffix, and to
- "no" otherwise. The individual scripts can override it though.
- In code sanity-checking the environment, verify that `$use_tap'
- is not exported.
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update, and small related
- reformatting.
- * tests/self-check-tap.test: New very minimal self test.
- * tests/acoutbs.test, tests/acoutbs2.test, tests/acoutnoq.test,
- tests/acoutpt.test, tests/acoutpt2.test, tests/acoutqnl.test:
- Removed, merged into ...
- * tests/ac-output-old.tap: ... this new test, that uses TAP.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_DRIVER): Define to invoke our own
- `tap-driver' script.
- (TAP_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS): Define to `--merge', so that the stdout
- and stderr of the test scripts remains synced.
- (TEST_EXTENSIONS): Define, to add the `.tap' suffix; also list
- the `.test' suffix explicitly.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the new files `plain-functions.sh' and
- `tap-functions.sh'.
- ($(TEST_LOGS)): Depends on them.
- (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Ensure that `use_tap' is not exported in
- the environment of the tests.

- testsuite: optimize tests on TAP for speed and against duplication
- The creation and configuration of common files and data used by

- dedicated auxiliary test, from which those tests will depend upon.
- This reduces code duplication in tests and, more importantly,
- offers a noticeable speedup in the involved tests (30-40%).
- * tests/tap-common-setup.test: New test, setting up the common
- files and data used by various tests on TAP support.
- * tests/tap-setup.sh: New file, to be sourced by tests wanting to

- 2011-08-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test harness: use new `.trs' files to hold test metadata
- With this change, the test harness will keep test metadata in
- dedicated `.trs' files, instead of having them embedded into the
- `.log' files. This allows for easier forward-compatibility and
- extension of test metadata, and for more flexibility in the
- format of the `.log' files. Note that this change makes the
- `:end-metadata:' field obsolete.
- * doc/automake.texi (Parallel Test Harness, Log files generation
- and test results recording): Document the new APIs and behaviour;
- some related minor rewordings and fixlets.
- * NEWS: Update.
- * automake.in (handle_tests): When bringing in the content of
- `check2.am', substitute %BASE% with the basename of the `.log'
- file being created by a rule. Add the generated `.trs' files
- to the list of files to be cleaned by "make mostlyclean".
- * lib/am/check.am (am__test_driver_flags): Rename ...
- (am__common_driver_flags): ... to this, and remove the flags
- `--test-name' and `--log-file' from it: they are now define in
- the proper rules in `check2.am'.
- (am__TEST_BASES): New internal variable, holding the names of
- the tests, with any registered extension removed.
- (am__stealth_MAKE): New internal variable, can be used instead of
- $(MAKE) in recipes requiring a recursive call to make, but which
- are not intended to be executed by "make -n".
- (.log.trs): New suffix rule, to recover from deletion of `.trs'
- files.
- ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Almost completely rewritten to follow the
- new API of "test logs in `.log' files, test metadata in `.trs'
- files". It goes to some length to work correctly in face of
- unreadable or missing `.log' and `.trs' files, and to error out
- with proper error messages when this is not possible.
- [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Also remove relevant "stale"
- `.trs' files (in addition to `.log files) before remaking the
- $(TEST_SUITE_LOG).
- (recheck, recheck-html): Look for the `:recheck:' field in the
- `.trs' files, not in the `.log' files.
- * lib/am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.log, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Adjust
- the call to the test driver, in particularly passing the new
- option `--trs-file'.
- [%am__EXEEXT%] (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): Likewise.
- * lib/tap-driver ($USAGE): Adjust the help screen.
- (Getopt::Long::GetOptions): Handle the `--trs-file' option,
- through the use of ...
- ($trs_file): ... this new global variable.
- (finish): Write metadata for the test run to `$trs_file' rather
- then to `$log_file', through the use of ...
- (write_test_results): ... this new function.
- * lib/test-driver (print_usage): Update the help screen.
- (Option parsing): Handle the `--trs-file' option, through the
- use of ...
- ($resfile): ... this new global variable.
- (Main code): Write metadata for the test run to `$trsfile' rather
- than to `$logfile'.
- Minor related adjustments to comments.
- * tests/.gitignore: Ignore `*.trs' files.
- * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: Moved ...
- * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable.test: ... to this, and extended

- test harness: allow more metadata in log files
- This change reworks and improves the parallel test harness to use
- more specialized reStructuredText fields in the log files (instead
- of relying on specially-placed of "magic lines" and more indirect
- semantical formatting); the new fields are the following:
- - ":recheck:": tell whether the associated test will have to be
- re-run by "make recheck";
- - ":copy-in-global-log:": tell whether the content of the log
- file should be copied in the "global log" `test-suite.log';
- - ":end-metadata:", which inhibits the scanning of the rest of
- the log file (for what concerns test metadata).
- Also, the special `:test-result:' value "END" has been removed,
- superseded by the new `:end-metadata:' field.
- * doc/automake.texi (Log files generation and test results
- recording): Document the new API and semantics. Remove or fix
- some obsolete comments.
- * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):

- testsuite: fix a spurious failure with non-bash shells
- * tests/tap-fancy2.test: Remove an unportable use of backslashes
- with the `echo' builtin, which was causing some shells (among them
- bash and Debian /bin/ksh) to print a `\\' string, while other
- shells (among them zsh, dash, and Solaris /bin/sh and /bin/ksh)
- were unexpectedly printing a single `\' character. Since we are
- at it, add a sanity check to ensure that this issue does not
- resurface.

- testsuite: fix spurious failures with Solaris /bin/sh
- * tests/tap-more.test: Use `echo > file', not `: > file', to
- create empty files in the "for" loops; this is required since,
- as documented in the autoconf manual, Solaris 10 /bin/sh
- "optimizes" away the `:' command after the first iteration,
- even if it is redirected.
- * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck2.test: Likewise.
- * tests/tap-numeric-description.test: Partial rewrite to avoid

- simple tests: support developer-defined fd redirections
- Motivated by coreutils bug#8846, and related discussions:

- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2011-06/msg00002.html>
- In those threads it has been shown how problematic it can be to do
- portable file descriptor redirections in the testsuite when using
- the Automake testsuite harness. This change should remedy to that
- situation.
- * lib/am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log,

- parallel-tests: make parsing of test results safer
- The new code for parsing the testsuite-generated `.log' files,
- as introduced in commit `v1.11-872-gc96b881', considers each
- `:test-result:' field anywhere in a `.log' file as a declaration
- of a test result, and accounts for it as such in the testsuite
- summary. Unfortunately this could easily cause spurious test
- failures being reported in the testsuite summary. This happened
- in practice with the Automake's own testsuite; for example:
- $ make check TESTS='check12-p.test'; echo exit: $?
- ...
- PASS: check12-p.test
- =====================================
- 4 of 5 tests failed
- See tests/test-suite.log
- Please report to bug-automake@gnu.org
- =====================================
- make[2]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1
- make: *** [check-am] Error 2
- exit: 2
- This change introduces a new special `:test-result:' "END", that,
- when seen, prevents the rest of the log file from being parsed.

- On Solaris 10, linking of lex-generated programs was failing in a
- couple of lex tests with errors like this:
- g++ -g -O2 -o joe joe.o -ll
- Undefined symbol first referenced in file
- yywrap() joe.o
- ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to joe
- collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
- This change fixes it, also fixing at once potential problems for
- systems that don't have a "lex library" (this happens for example
- when cross-compiling from GNU/Linux to MinGW).
- * tests/lex-depend-cxx.test (joe.ll, moe.l++): Define a dummy
- `yywrap()' function.
- * tests/lex-clean-cxx.test (mainfoo.cc, mainbar.cpp, mainbaz.c++,
- mainqux.cxx): Likewise.
- 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- docs: avoid a footnote, some related rewordings and improvements
- * doc/automake.texi (Dist): Reword the part about automatically
- distributed files to avoid a footnote. Since we are at it, extend
- a bit, and add an example and a reference to a relevant test case.
- 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- docs: minor cosmetic fixes
- * doc/automake.texi: Break few overly long lines, throughout the
- file.
- ("Simple Tests"): Move @vindex for XFAIL_TESTS to the correct
- position, i.e., before and not after the paragraph where it is
- introduced.
- ("Options" @item ansi2knr): Use @pxref instead of @xref. This
- fixes a texinfo warning.
- ("Other things Automake recognizes" @item AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Use
- @pxref instead of @ref.
- 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- help: improve text about automatically-distributed files
- This change fixes automake bug#7819.
- * automake.in (usage): Distinguish between files that are always
- automatically distributed when found, and those which are only
- "under certain conditions".
- * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Update accordingly.
- * tests/autodist-subdir.test: Update.
- * tests/autodist-no-duplicate.test: Likewise.
- * tests/autodist.test: Likewise.
- (configure.in): Remove useless call to AM_MAINTAINER_MODE.
- 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- refactor: split 'usage' subroutine in automake
- This change is related to automake bug#7819.
- * automake.in (print_autodist_files): New subroutine,
- extracted from ...
- (usage): ... this, which now uses it.
- * tests/autodist-no-duplicate.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix bug in 'autodist.test'
- * tests/autodist.test: Avoid spurious failure due to no
- `defs-static' file being found in the parent directory.
- 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- parallel-tests: allow each test to have multiple results
- With this change, we improve the code creating the `test-suite.log'
- global log and the console testsuite summary to make it able to
- grasp multiple results per test script. This is required in order
- to introduce the planned support for test protocols, like TAP and
- SubUnit, which can indeed run multiple tests per test script, each
- with its individual result.
- The implementation makes use of a custom reStructuredText field
- `:test-result:'.
- Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is
- be left for follow-up changes.
- * lib/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): When processing .log files,
- recognize a report of a test's result only if it is declared with
- the custom `:test-result:' reStructuredText field placed at the
- beginning of a line. Extend and add explanatory comments.
- (recheck, recheck-html): Add explanatory comments.
- * lib/test-driver: Write an appropriate reStructuredText field
- `:test-result:' in the generated log file. Use a reStructuredText
- transition to better separate the test outcome report from the
- test script's registered output. Improve comments.
- * tests/test-driver-custom-xfail-tests.test: Adjust.
- * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Adjust.
- * tests/parallel-tests-empty-testlogs.test: New test.
- * tests/parallel-tests-recheck-override.test: Likewise.
- * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Extend and keep more in-sync with ...
- * tests/test-driver-custom-html.test: ... this new related test.

- * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck.test: Likewise.
- * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck2.test: Likewise.
- * tests/trivial-test-driver: New file, used by the last four tests
- above.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `trivial-test-driver'.

- (test-driver-custom-html.log): Likewise.
- 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- parallel-tests: allow custom driver scripts
- Allow suffix-based definition of custom "driver script" for the
- test scripts. These driver scripts will be responsible of
- launching the tests (or their corresponding $(LOG_COMPILER), if
- they have an associated one), interpreting and displaying the
- test results, and writing the `.log' files.
- This new API should allow easy and flexible use of different
- test protocols in the future; in particular, we plan to use it
- to implement TAP and SubUnit harnesses.
- Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is
- be left for follow-up changes.
- * automake.in (handle_tests): Define default for $(LOG_DRIVER),
- and, for any registered test extension `<ext>', define defaults
- for $(<ext>_LOG_DRIVER). Substitute %DRIVER% using these new
- variables, instead of the old internal $(am__test_driver). When
- processing check2.am, also substitute %DRIVER_FLAGS%.
- Require auxiliary script `test-driver' only if no driver has been
- explicitly defined for the test script kinds.
- * am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log,
- ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Pass the %DRIVER_FLAGS% to the %DRIVER% call.
- * tests/parallel-tests-no-extra-driver.test: New test.
- * tests/test-driver-custom.test: Likewise.
- * tests/test-driver-custom-xfail-tests.test: Likewise.
- * tests/test-driver-fail.test: Likewise.
- * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
- * NEWS: Update.
- 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- parallel-tests: add auxiliary script 'test-driver', refactor
- This refactoring should cause no API of functionality change,
- and is meant only to simplify the future implementation of TAP
- and SubUnit testsuite drivers. More precisely, our roadmap is
- to move most of the "testsuite driving" features out of the
- Automake-generated Makefiles, and into external scripts with
- well-defined interfaces. This will allow the user to define
- its own personalized testsuite drivers, and will also offer us
- a framework upon which to implement our new TAP and SubUnit
- drivers, all in a very unobtrusive way and retaining an high
- degree of code reuse and backward-compatibility.
- * lib/test-driver: New auxiliary script.
- * lib/Makefile.am (dist_SCRIPT_DATA): Add it.
- * automake.in (handle_tests): Require the new auxiliary script
- `test-driver', and define a new internal makefile variable
- `$(am__test_driver)', used to call it. Perform new substitution
- on `DRIVER' when processing the `check2.am' file.
- * lib/check.am (am__tty_colors): Define new shell variable
- `$am__color_tests'.
- (am__rst_section): Removed, its role taken over by the new
- `test-driver' script.
- (am__test_driver_flags): New variable, contains the command
- line options passed to `test-driver'.
- (am__check_pre): Do not deal with temporary files and exit
- traps anymore, as the `test-driver' script takes care of that
- now. Define shell variable `$am__enable_hard_errors', used by
- `$(am__test_driver_flags)'. Reorder so that we don't need to
- save and restore the value of the `TERM' environment variable
- anymore.
- Other related adjustments.
- (am__check_post): Remove, as its role has been completely taken
- over by the `test-driver' script.
- * am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log,
- ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Call the test script through the Automake
- substituted `%DRIVER%', and honor the command-line options
- in `$(am__test_driver_flags)'. Do not call the obsoleted
- `$(am__check_post)' anymore.
- * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Mention the new
- `test-driver' script.
- (Optional): Mention `test-driver' in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
- Since we are at it, break the list of auxiliary scripts by
- placing one per line, to simplify potential future additions
- of new scripts.

- 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: interactions between TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and LOG_COMPILER
- * tests/tests-environment-and-log-compiler.test: New test,
- checking that we can use variables and functions set by
- TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT in LOG_COMPILER
- and LOG_FLAGS (for tests both with and without registered
- extensions).
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: make 'subst-no-trailing-empty-line.test' more robust
- * tests/subst-no-trailing-empty-line.test: Strengthen existing
- checks, to try more scenarios and be slightly stricter in some
- grepping checks.
- 2011-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix an incomplete comment
- * tests/subst-no-trailing-empty-line.test: Fix an incomplete
- comment, and move it to a more proper place. Minor cosmetic
- fixes to other comments.
- 2011-06-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- maintcheck: avoid few more spurious failures
- * tests/depmod-data.test: Use creative quoting to avoid
- spuriously triggering the `sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer
- check. Commit `v1.11-900-g3453b8e' attempted to fix it, but
- succeeded only partially.
- * tests/cond33.test: Fix header comments, not to reference
- obsolescent make variable `$(mkdir_p)'.
- * tests/cond4.test: Rewrite "$MAKE exp=..." as "exp=.. $MAKE -e",
- to please `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline'
- * tests/cond19.test: Likewise.
- * tests/cond32.test: Likewise.
- * tests/add-missing.test: Use "AUTOMAKE_fails" instead of
- "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", to please `sc_tests_automake_fails'.
- 2011-06-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- maintcheck: avoid few spurious failures
- * Makefile.am (sc_tests_plain_aclocal, sc_tests_plain_perl,
- sc_tests_plain_autoconf, sc_tests_plain_automake,
- sc_tests_plain_autoupate): Be stricter in matching an erroneous
- literal command, i.e., `aclocal', `automake', `perl', etc.
- 2011-06-20 Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com> (tiny change)
- check: don't use multi-line coloring for the report
- "less -R" can't handle multi-line coloring as it is done for the
- check reports of the serial and parallel testsuite, because of
- performance reasons. Thus, color each line of the check report
- by its own.
- * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Accept colors for lines, and
- color each line by its own.
- [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Let am__text_box handle
- the line coloring.
- [!%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(check-TESTS): Color each report line by
- its own.
- * THANKS: Update.
- 2011-06-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- docs: AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is for corner cases
- * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Explain that the
- developers should take care of making their code buildable without
- requiring any special configure options, so that in general
- AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS shouldn't be used. Give an example
- of where its use is legitimate.
- Suggestions from Ralf Wildenhues and Eric Blake.
- 2011-06-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- ansi2knr: deprecate, it will go away in the next major release

- docs: primary/prefix combination "pkglib_PROGRAMS" is now invalid
- * doc/automake.texi (Program Sources): pkglib_PROGRAMS is not a
- valid combination anymore, so don't document it. Inconsistency
- introduced in commit `v1.11-373-g9ca6326'.
- 2011-06-19 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
- docs: replace obsolete @vindex entry with a useful one
- * doc/automake.texi (Program Sources): Do not index obsolete
- pkglib_PROGRAMS here. Do index pkglibexec_PROGRAMS.
- 2011-06-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: more checks on portable fd redirection in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
- * tests/tests-environment-fd-redirect.test: Extend by also using
- a perl script among the tests. Run the test shell script with
- the `errexit' flag active. Export `VERBOSE' to yes when running
- "make check", to give more debugging information in case of
- failures. Look for a Korn Shell also in `/usr/bin', not on only
- in `/bin'.
- 2011-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: optimize tests on primary/prefix mismatch for speed
- * tests/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.test: Partial rewrite, in
- order to use just a single automake invocation rather than one
- invocation for each invalid primary/prefix couple. This improves
- the test script execution time by an order of magnitude.
- Since we are at it, throw in some other improvements to avoid
- unrelated automake warnings and failures that could potentially
- cause false positives w.r.t. the automake exit status.
- 2011-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- news: update w.r.t. introduction of AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
- * NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Update.
- 2011-06-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- maintcheck: DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS can be defined on make cmdline
- * Makefile.am (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): It's now
- acceptable that the test scripts override DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
- on the make command line. Update comments accordingly. Since we
- are at it, make the relevant grepping rules slightly tighter.
- 2011-06-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- distcheck: add support for AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
- * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Suggest to use
- AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, not DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, to
- define (in the top-level Makefile.am) extra flags to be passed
- to configure at "make distcheck" time; DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
- should be reserved for the user. Add proper `@vindex' directive.
- Document that AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is not honoured in a
- subpackage Makefile.am, but the flags in it are passed down to
- the configure script of the subpackage.
- * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Also pass the flags in
- $(AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to the configure invocation.
- Update comments.
- * tests/defs.in.test (AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS,
- DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS): Unset in case they are exported in
- the environment, they might improperly influence our testsuite.
- * tests/distcheck-configure-flags.test: New test.

- (Silent Make): ... into this new chapter, expanded, improved,
- and subdivided into ...
- (Make verbosity, Tricks For Silencing Make,
- Automake silent-rules Option): ... these new sections.
- (@menu, @detailmenu): Update.
- * tests/silent-configsite.test: New test, checking that the
- user can control default mode of silent-rules from config.site,
- as is documented in the manual.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
- 2011-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Warnings about primary/prefix mismatch fixed and extended.
- * automake.in (%standard_prefix): Add `doc' and `locale'.
- Rename `pkgdatadir' to `pkgdata'. Similarly for`pkglibdir',
- `pkgincludedir' and `pkglibexecdir'.
- (handle_programs): List `pkglibexec', not `pkglib', among the
- prefixes valid for the `PROGRAMS' primary.
- (handle_data): List also `doc' among the prefixes valid for

- tests: make test 'self-check-reexec.test' more portable
- * tests/self-check-reexec.test: Rewrite not to require a Korn
- Shell able to grok variable expansions such as `${.sh.version}';
- Solaris 10 /bin/ksh fails on this for example. Instead, just
- require bash and a shell that is not bash.
- 2011-06-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
- test defs: fix ksh-related portability bug in warning messages
- Running "make check" normally prints a diagnostic to the outermost
- stderr (usually a tty) to explain why a test is skipped, thus
- giving better and faster feedback to the user. It used to do
- so by redirecting file descriptor 9 to stderr (via "exec 9>&2")
- before invoking the test scripts, which then would write any skip
- explanation to file descriptor 9 via the `skip_' function defined
- in `tests/defs'.
- However, various Korn Shells (at least Solaris 10's /bin/ksh and
- Debian GNU/Linux's /bin/ksh) and the HP-UX's /bin/sh close open
- file descriptors > 2 upon an `exec' system call; thus the effects
- of "exec 9>&2" are cancelled upon fork-and-exec, so we would get
- a "Bad file number" diagnostic and no skip explanation with those
- shells.
- The present change remedies this situation.
- * tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Redirect more portably,
- via a trailing "9>&2", rather than the prior "exec 9>&2; ...". Add
- explanatory comments.
- * tests/defs (stderr_fileno_): Update the advice in comments.
- Based on commit v8.12-82-g6b68745 "tests: accommodate HP-UX and
- ksh-derived shells" in GNU coreutils.

- tests: remove 'test_prefer_config_shell' from the environment
- Since commit `v1.11-910-g7df1a9b', the once user-overridable
- variable `$test_prefer_config_shell' has become an internal
- detail, and the test scripts now complain and bail out if it is
- set in the environment.
- * tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset the variable
- `test_prefer_config_shell' if it is set in the environment.
- 2011-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: autogenerate list of wrapped tests for `lib/' shell scripts
- * tests/gen-config-shell-tests: New script, generates distributed
- makefile snippet `tests/config-shell-tests.am' to list all tests
- that use the `get_shell_script' function, with names mangled to
- use suffix `-w.shtst', in ...
- * tests/Makefile.am (config_shell_tests): ... this macro, whose
- definition has been consequently removed from Makefile.am.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the new script.
- ($(srcdir)/config-shell-tests.am): Generate using the new script.
- (include): Include the `config-shell-tests.am' fragment.
- * bootstrap: Invoke `tests/gen-config-shell-tests' to generate
- `tests/config-shell-tests.am'.
- * tests/.gitignore: Ignore `config-shell-tests.am'.
- * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Fixlet in heading comments.
- 2011-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: test mdate-sh with /bin/sh too
- * tests/mdate5.test: Fetch the `mdate-sh' script using the
- `get_shell_script' function, and run it directly instead of
- using `$SHELL'.
- * tests/mdate6.test: Likewise. Since we are at it, make checks
- on the `mdate-sh' output stricter, remove now unneeded calls to
- aclocal and automake and creation/extension of `configure.in',
- `Makefile.am' and `textutils.tex' files, and add a trailing `:'
- command.
- * tests/Makefile.am (config_shell_tests): Add `mdate5-w.shtst'
- and `mdate6-w.shtst'.
- 2011-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: extend tests on `--add-missing' and `--copy' a bit
- * tests/add-missing.test: Fix typo in heading comments. Try with
- another testcase that install many (but not all) the auxiliary
- scripts at once, and uses non-standard (but valid and documented)
- setups (e.g., defining YACC in Makefile.am instead of calling
- AC_PROG_YACC from configure.in).
- * tests/copy.test: Reference `add-missing.test' in heading
- comments. Try few more test scenarios.
- 2011-06-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: few fixlets and improvements
- * tests/cond31.test ($required): Remove `cc', it's not really
- needed.
- * tests/confh.test: Call autoheader too. The lack of this call
- wasn't causing spurious failures because the automatic remake
- rules were somehow invoking it on our behalf (at make time).
- * tests/fn99subdir.test: Use $subdirname throughout, instead of
- ${subdirname}, for consistency with the rest of the testsuite.
- Avoid an unnecessary subshell, which could also cause spurious
- passes, being guarded by a trailing `|| Exit 1', which neutralize
- the `errexit' flag. Remove an unnecessary `|| Exit 1' guard.
- * tests/insh2.test: Rewrite to avoid hackish Makefile.in munging,
- and to also run configure and make.

- tests: don't hard-code test name in txinfo21.test
- * tests/txinfo21.test: Use `$me' instead of hard-coding the

- testsuite: use 'fatal_' and 'framework_failure_' for hard errors
- * tests/defs (require_xsi): Use `fatal_', not `framework_failure',
- to report an invalid usage.

- (fatal_): Define this (which is a simplified version of the one
- in `tests/defs') for early uses (i.e., before `tests/defs'
- gets sourced).
- * tests/depmode-tests.sh: Likewise. Also, simplify the
- 'get_depmodes' function and calls to it accordingly.

- 2011-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- test defs: new function 'fatal_', for hard errors
- Before this patch, the only way offered by tests/defs to
- properly signal a hard error was the `framework_failure_'
- function. But the error message issued by that function,
- as its name would suggest, refers to a set-up failure in the
- testsuite, while hard errors can obviously also be due to
- other reasons. The best way to fix this inconsistency is to
- introduce a new function with a more general error message.
- Inspired by a recent similar change to Gnulib's tests/init.sh.
- * tests/defs (fatal_): New function.
- * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
- Suggest the use of `fatal_', not of `framework_failure_', for
- generic hard errors. The latter should be reserved for "real"
- set-up failures.

- py-compile: normalize error and help messages
- * lib/py-compile: Now error messages do not begin with a capital

- error messages with the name of the script, not with its path.
- When an invalid usage is recognized, always display the customary
- message "Try `py-compile --help' ..." on a line of its own.
- ($me): New variable, containing the name of the

- (usage_error): New function, used to display error messages about

- tests: `lib/' shell scripts transparently tested also with $SHELL
- With the previous commit, the user could prefer the use of $SHELL
- over /bin/sh in some tests checking the Automake-provided shell
- scripts by manually exporting `test_prefer_config_shell' to "yes"
- in the environment. With this commit, we ensure that such tests
- *always* and *transparently* run using both $SHELL and /bin/sh
- to execute the checked scripts. The `test_prefer_config_shell'
- variable becomes an internal detail, and is no more meant to be
- manually defined or overridden.
- * tests/defs-static.in: Check that `test_prefer_config_shell' is
- not exported in the environment. Error out if this is the case.
- * tests/config-shell-tests.sh: New file, driver script to run
- checks on the shell scripts in `lib/' using the $SHELL determined
- at configure time instead of the default system shell /bin/sh.
- * Makefile.am (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Add `.shtst'.
- (SHTST_LOG_COMPILER): Define, it calls `config-shell-tests.sh'.
- (config_shell_tests): Define to a list of tests that wraps other
- `*.test' tests using `config-shell-tests.sh'.
- ($(config_shell_tests)): Dummy dependency declaration required
- in order to have make actually produce expected log files from
- the `.shtst.log' suffix rule.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `config-shell-tests.sh'.
- (TESTS): Add `$(config_shell_tests)'.
- * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update, by checking that
- `test_prefer_config_shell' isn't exported in the environment.
- 2011-06-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: can use also $SHELL to check shell scripts from `lib/'
- * tests/ar-lib.test: If the variable `$test_prefer_config_shell'
- is set to "yes", run the script under test with configure-time
- determined $SHELL, rather than with /bin/sh.
- The `$test_prefer_config_shell' variable defaults to empty, but
- can be overridden at runtime by the user, thus allowing more
- coverage.

- expect the test will use $SHELL and not /bin/sh to run the
- script being tested.
- 2011-06-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests defs: better requirements for XSI shells
- This change avoids potential spurious failures with tests using
- the requirement 'xsi-shell' to mean that they want */bin/sh* (not
- $SHELL) to be XSI-conforming. This idiom used to work before
- commit `v1.11-874-g1321be7' (as back then the test scripts were
- unconditionally run with /bin/sh), but has become inconsistent
- now that the test scripts re-execute themselves with configure
- determined $SHELL.
- The described spurious failures have already occurred in practice,
- for examples on Solaris systems which also had GNU Bash installed.
- From a suggestion by Peter Rosin. See discussion at:
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-06/msg00016.html>
- * tests/defs (xsi-shell): Now check that $SHELL, rather than the
- shell currently running the test script, is an XSI shell.
- (xsi-bin-sh): New requirement, checking that /bin/sh (which can
- differ from $SHELL) is an XSI shell.
- (xsi-lib-shell): New requirement, checking that the shell that
- should be used to test the Automake-provided scripts from `lib/'
- is an XSI shell. For the moment, this is just an alias for
- `xsi-bin-sh'.
- (require_xsi): New subroutine, used to factor out code common to
- the requirements above.
- ($xsi_shell_code): New variable, contains shell code supposed to
- work only with XSI shells. Used by the new subroutine above.
- * tests/ar-lib.test ($required): Require 'xsi-lib-shell' instead
- of 'xsi-shell', since the script we test here is run with /bin/sh,
- not with $SHELL.

- 2011-06-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix typo-related error in auxdir2.test
- * tests/auxdir2.test (configure.in): Close m4 quoting in the
- argument to AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR. Without this, aclocal fails with
- "ERROR: end of file in string". This problem hasn't been exposed
- by the testsuite before because this test is in XFAIL_TESTS, so
- its failure went unnoticed, even if it was due to a wrong cause.
- Bug introduced in commit v1.11-249-g49ac3de.
- 2011-06-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- self tests: fix another spurious failure
- Our ad-hoc usage of `tests/defs' in the testsuite's self tests
- stopped working properly when we made the test scripts re-execute
- themselves with the configure-time $SHELL. Fix this.
- Fixes a regression introduced by commit 'v1.11-874-g1321be7'.
- * tests/self-check-exit.test: Export `AM_TESTS_REEXEC' to "no"
- before running the self tests. This fixes a spurious failure
- present only when the test was run by hand.
- 2011-06-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- silent-rules tests: fix spurious failures with Sun Studio C++
- * tests/silentcxx.test: The C++ compiler from Sun Studio is named
- `CC'. Account for this in our grepping checks on the make output.
- Since we are at it, throw in a couple of improvements to comments
- and formatting.
- * tests/silent-many-generic.test: The C++ compiler from Sun Studio
- is named `CC', and this can cause spurious failures in our grepping
- of the make output. Work around this by using a wrapper script
- around the C++ compiler (generated on the fly), since filtering the
- make output proved to be too fragile.
- 2011-06-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix spurious failure in backcompat2.test on NetBSD
- * tests/backcompat2.test: Add trailing `:' in the body of a `for'
- loop, in case the last command there might have an exit status
- different 0. This work around `set -e' issues in some BSD shells,
- e.g., NetBSD /bin/ksh.
- 2011-06-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix spurious failure in autohdr3.test

- remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories
- Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to

- tests: prefer ulimit over timeout in test on a memory-hogging bug
- * tests/cond29.test: Use 'ulimit' instead of 'timeout' to ensure
- that automake does not uses up too much resources. This is really
- and improvement because the bug tested by this script wasn't just
- a "it hangs" or "it runs too slow" bug, but rather a memory-hogging
- bug (due to combinatorial explosion when many Automake conditionals
- had to be handled) which could easily crash the whole system, which
- is unacceptable. The requirement of a proper and working 'ulimit'
- builtin might cause the test to be skipped on more systems, but
- that shouldn't be a problem since the bug isn't about a portability
- issue, but is rather an automake internal implementation problem.
- I've verified that the test as updated by this patch still passes
- with automake 1.8.5, automake 1.10.2, and obviously the development
- version of automake, and that it fails with automake 1.7.9.
- 2011-06-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: avoid generating `*-p.test' tests, use a wrapper script
- The generated `*-p.test' tests had already become just thin layers
- around the corresponding test scripts. This change makes the final
- step, converting to the use of a generic wrapper script and thus
- avoiding the extra test generation (similarly to what is done for
- the `*.instspc' and `*.depmod' tests).
- * tests/parallel-tests.sh: New file, driver script to run checks
- the on the `parallel-tests' semantics by wrapping tests that use
- the generic "Simple Tests" driver.
- * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Update, mostly to reflect the new
- `.ptest' extensions used for tests in $(parallel_tests).
- * Makefile.am (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Add `.ptest'.
- (PTEST_LOG_COMPILER): Define, it calls `parallel-tests.sh'.
- ($(parallel_tests)): Do not really generate `*-p.test' tests
- anymore; this is now just a dummy dependency declaration required
- in order to have make actually produce expected log files from
- the `.ptest.log' suffix rule.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `parallel-tests.sh'.
- (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Don't remove the `$(parallel_tests)', it
- is not necessary anymore.
- (generated_tests): Variable definition removed.
- (TESTS): Update, by listing `$(parallel_tests)' directly instead
- of `$(generated_tests)'
- (expected_list_of_tests): Remove `$(generated_tests)'.
- (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): No need to explicitly depend on
- `$(expected_list_of_tests)' anymore.

- automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE
- Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition
- of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an
- autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are
- honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they
- were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal'
- scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does
- not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also
- caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious
- failures.
- Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread:
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html>
- * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'.
- * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'.
- * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and

- build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too
- Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER
- at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite.
- But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE.
- This change fixes that inconsistency.
- * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New
- AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments.
- * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now.
- ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'.

- Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
- * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When
- some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not
- necessary in order to override it. DESTDIR is such a variable: we
- ensure that we do not ever initialize it. And as such, it is quite
- portable to use:
- $ make DESTDIR=/foo/bar install
- and in fact, quite widely used.
- So our example about when `make -e' is required, which references

- tests: tweak and improve tests on Automake conditionals
- The "avoid the requirement of a working compiler" we refer about
- below is obtained by disabling automatic dependency tracking and
- defining `CC' (and `EXEEXT', `OBJEXT', `CXX', etc., if needed) to
- dummy values, either directly in the `Makefile.am', or by AC_SUBST
- in `configure.in'.
- The "cosmetic changes" we refer about below consists in, e.g.,
- adding a trailing `:' command to a script, using proper m4 quoting
- in `configure.in' files, adding commands that offer more debugging
- output, explicitly declaring phony targets as such in Makefiles,
- making use of idioms more consistent with those employed in other
- tests, following the GNU formatting standards more closely, etc.

- lex tests: avoid spurious failures when LEXLIB isn't found
- The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
- the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
- which is required to link most lex-generated programs). On the
- contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
- fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
- proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
- possibly fail later, at make time.
- This behaviour might be (partly) intended; the Autoconf manual
- reads:
- ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
- both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source
- it produces is portable. In order to ensure portability,
- however, you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if
- you don't use it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like
- feature), simply include a `%noyywrap' statement in the
- scanner's source.''
- This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of the
- Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
- providing `yywrap' (this happens for example in Linux->MinGW cross
- compilations). But at this point is clear that a proper workaround
- is to simply provide a fall-back implementation of `yywrap' in our
- lexers.

- testsuite: allow user to ask for stricter skip semantics
- Given how the Automake testsuite is currently structured, if a
- command in a test script fails with status `77', the global test
- outcome is considered a SKIP, because the value of `77' for `$?'
- is passed to the exit trap. Indeed, this happens in practice, as
- an autoconf-generated configure script can exit with status `77'
- if it fails to find, e.g., a required compiler.
- While this behaviour is quite useful for avoiding spurious test
- failures in the wild, it can also sometimes prevent the Automake
- developers to easily see and declare the requirements of their
- tests.
- This change introduces a new variable `am_explicit_skips', meant to
- be user-overridable, and which, when set to a "true" value (i.e.,
- `yes' or `1'), require a direct call to `Exit 77' in order to make
- the test outcome be considered a SKIP.
- * tests/defs.in ($am__test_skipped): New variable, initialized
- to `no'.
- (Exit): Set `$am__test_skipped' to `yes' if passed an exit status
- of 77.
- (trap '...' 0): When `$am_explicit_skips' is set to a "true" value,
- reset an exit status of `77' to `78' if $am__test_skipped is not
- set to `yes'.
- * tests/self-check-exit.test: Adjust: unset `am_explicit_skips'.
- * tests/self-check-explicit-skips.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-05-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: user can force skipping of compiler-requiring tests
- * tests/defs (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): Skip the test if
- the relevant compiler is disabled by having the corresponding
- variable (CC, CXX, FC and F77, respectively) set to "false".
- (yacc): For consistency, skip the test when the YACC variable
- is set to "false", not when it's set to "no". Since we are at
- it, fix the skip message to be shorter and more consistent.

- lex: "make clean" removes .c files from non-distributed .l
- Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
- files derived from non-distributed Lex sources, it still caused
- them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
- simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
- This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
- those generated .c files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES by
- hand.
- This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' files
- generated by non-distributed Lex sources cleaned by "make clean".
- A similar problem for Yacc support had been fixed with the commit
- v1.11-263-ged2c8bc.
- * tests/automake.in (lang_lex_target_hook): Make C source files
- derived from non-distributed Lex files cleaned by "make clean",
- not only by "make maintainer-clean".

- more in sync with 'lex-pr204.test'.
- * tests/yacc-nodist.test: Updated to keep it more in sync with
- 'lex-nodist.test'.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- * NEWS: Update.
- 2011-05-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- new tests.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-05-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- lex tests: remove erroneous check about ylwrap distribution
- * tests/lex5.test: Do not check that the ylwrap script is *not*
- distributed when there is only one lexer, as ylwrap is in fact
- expected to distributed unconditionally (at least starting from
- commit `Release-1-9-323-gc5881cc' of 19-08-2006). Note that this
- bogus check wasn't triggering any failure because it was done at
- the wrong time (i.e. from the VPATH build directory), so that it
- could never fail anyway.
- Instead, check that ylwrap is distributed even when there is only
- one lexer.
- Since we are at it, add a couple of `ls -l' calls, to get better
- debugging info.
- 2011-05-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- yacc tests: "make clean" removes C++ files from non-distributed .y

- 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: add a couple of inter-tests reference
- * tests/yacc-nodist.test, tests/pr204.test: These tests are

- lex tests: require just `lex' instead of `flex'

- `lex' and `yacc' requirements now.
- 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
- Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
- as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
- to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
- having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
- integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
- * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
- still dummy.
- (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
- (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
- implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
- in the future.
- 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: 'silent-many-gcc.test' improved and made more robust
- * tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Also force "fast" gcc depmode
- for C++ compilations. Add sanity checks verifying that the

- typo in comments.
- 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: drop useless requirements of 'g++'
- * tests/lflags2.test ($required): Remove 'g++', as any working

- * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
- * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
- * tests/silentcxx.test: Likewise. Also, do not force depmodes
- that could cause non-GNU C++ compilers to fail.
- * tests/silentcxx-gcc.test: New test, like `silentcxx.test',
- but forcing "fast" gcc depmode (and thus requiring the GNU C++
- compiler).
- * tests/specflg10.test: Add proper "fixme" comment telling that
- we should make this test work with a generic C++ compiler.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests defs: one more environment sanitization (corner case)
- * tests/defs (am__using_gmake): Initialize. The `using_gmake'
- subroutine was using this variable for caching, but wasn't
- initializing it, which could cause problems in the (admittedly
- very unlikely) case in which it was pre-existent in the
- environment.
- 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS)
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts man[678].test,

- (clean-local): Depend on it.
- * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Include `CheckListOfTests.am'.

- test defs: increase coverage w.r.t. GNU make
- * tests/defs (GNUmake): Instead of just skipping the tests
- requiring GNU make if $MAKE is not GNU make, try to look for

- 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: improve few inter-tests references
- * tests/acloca22.test: Improve and extend the heading comments.

- add trailing `:' command, and few blank lines for readability.
- * tests/remake-renamed-m4-macro-and-file.test: In the heading

- 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix spurious failure in 'color2.test'
- * tests/color2.test: If $MAKE contains command-line arguments (as

- Fix this with proper uses of the TCL `eval' builtin.
- 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: extend tests on dependency tracking with VPATH
- * tests/depmod-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a threefold role:
- 1. it is called to generate a Makefile.am snippet, containing the
- definition of proper lists of tests;
- 2. it is called to set up a directory containing some common data
- files and autotools-generated files used by the aforementioned
- tests (this is done for speed reasons only); and
- 3. it is called to properly run those tests, one at a time.
- * tests/depcomp9.test: Delete, it's obsolete now.
- * tests/depcomp10.test: Likewise.
- * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/depmod-tests.am): Include this
- snippet, which defines ...
- (depmode_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
- newly generated `*.depmod' tests.
- (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Add `.depmod'.
- (DEPMOD_LOG_COMPILER): Define. It calls `depmod-tests.sh', so that
- the "depmode tests" will be executed by passing that driver script
- a proper parameter.
- ($(depmod_tests)): New dependency declaration (dummy, but required
- in order to have make actually produce expected log files from the
- `.depmod.log' suffix rule).
- (TESTS): Add $(depmod_tests).
- (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute depmod-tests.sh.
- Other minor cosmetic changes and reorderings.
- * bootstrap: Generate depmod-tests.am.
- * tests/.gitignore: Updated.
- 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: avoid extra test generation (for `instspc' tests)
- We don't really need to generate tons and tons of wrapper test
- scripts (presently, ~ 90) just to run what is basically a single
- test (specifically, `instspc-tests.sh') with different parameters.
- In fact, the possibility of running a single driver script with
- multiple files/configurations/parameters is one of the major
- selling points of the 'parallel-tests' testsuite driver of
- automake. So why not use ourselves more extensively the best
- features we provide?
- * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Update heading comments. Expect
- to be executed, not sourced. Update handling of command-line
- arguments. Adjust to reflect the renaming of "instspc tests"
- from `instspc-*.test' to `*.instspc'.
- * tests/instspc-data.test: Update heading comments. Execute
- driver script `instspc-tests.sh', instead of sourcing it.
- Give more informative messages in case of internal errors.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Define explicitly (to
- `.test' and `.instspc').
- (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)'.
- (generated_tests): Remove `$(instspc_tests)'.
- (INSTSPC_LOG_COMPILER): Define. Calls `instspc-tests.sh', so
- that the "instspc tests" will be now executed by passing that
- driver script a proper parameter.
- ($(instspc_tests)): Remove, we don't need anymore to generate
- this tests.
- ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Remove, substituted by ...
- ($(instspc_tests:.instspc=.log)): ... this.
- ($(instspc_tests)): New dependency declaration (dummy, but
- required in order to have make actually produce expected log
- files from the `.instspc.log' suffix rule).
- (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, generated_tests): Don't extend with
- $(instspc_tests) anymore.
- Update comments.
- 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- build: improve the definition of the list of testcases
- * tests/Makefile.am (handwritten_tests): New variable.

- 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests skips: shorter and clearer messages
- * tests/defs: Use shorter messages when giving reasons for test
- skipping; it turns out these shorter messages are also clearer.
- If more info might be useful, send them to the log file only.
- 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: fix self check spurious failure with older bash versions
- * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Add trailing `:' to the test code

- the exit trap.
- 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: add sanity check to 'self-check-cleanup.test'
- * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Check that the "hacked" file
- `defs-static' used by the test differs from the "vanilla" one
- in builddir. This also offers a little more debugging output.
- 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- testsuite: display reasons for skips to the console
- * tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Open file descriptor
- `9' to the original stderr; define `stderr_fileno_' to `9', and

- * tests/self-check-report.test: Prevent new spurious failures by
- removing from the environment any definition of `stderr_fileno_'.
- 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- check: rename AM_TESTS_SETUP -> AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
- The AM_TESTS_SETUP naming was not a good one after all. It may
- be technically more correct than AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, but the

- * NEWS: Update.
- 2011-01-28 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- yacc: extension of headers modelled after extension of sources
- With this change, if '-d' is in *YFLAGS, a yacc input file named
- foo.y++ will cause a foo.h++ header to be generated, instead of a
- foo.h header. Similarly for foo.ypp, foo.yxx and foo.yy.
- This way, the name of the files generated by an automake-created
- `ylwrap' invocation should be consistent with those generated by
- a `bison -o' call.
- Related to automake bug#7648 and PR automake/491.
- * lib/am/yacc.am (am__yacc_c2h): New internal variable.

- tests: don't define YACC and LEX in the Makefiles
- We don't want YACC and LEX defined as make variables, otherwise
- the values determined at configure time will override those from
- the environment, even in the make-spawned testcases. For example,
- before this change, with the following usage:
- $ ./configure YACC=yacc
- $ export YACC='bison -y'
- $ make check
- the testsuite would have ended up, very counterintuitively, with
- YACC defined to 'yacc' in the testcases' environment.

- yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
- Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
- files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
- them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
- simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
- This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
- those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
- by hand.
- This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
- `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
- "make clean".
- * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
- header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by
- "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".

- Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which

- test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
- The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
- cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does

- $ javac -version
- javac 1.5.0_22

- maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
- The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
- the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
- cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
- error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
- builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
- See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
- This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
- which are possibly problematic in this regard.
- * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.

- libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
- When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't

- version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
- suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
- * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'

- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2011-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
- Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
- containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
- 'r--r--r--') could fail.
- * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
- test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,

- 2011-02-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
- After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
- the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
- all of these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
- automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
- beginning of `instspc.test'). But luckily, since the new tests
- share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
- be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
- complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
- * tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
- the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
- others `instspc-*.test' tests.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.
- ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file.
- (instspc-data.log): Depend on `instspc-tests.sh'.
- * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Recognize new action `generate-data',
- and use it to create hand-written and autotools-generated static
- files shared by all the `instspc-*.test' tests.
- When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously
- created files instead of recreating them from scratch.
- (unindent, create_input_data): New subroutines.
- Some other related changes and refactorings.
- From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.

- python: fix spurious failure in tests
- * tests/python-vars.test: Ignore cached values from config.site
- by exporting CONFIG_SITE=/dev/null. Be laxer in matching the
- expected values of output variables `pythondir' and `pyexecdir',
- since they can change quite unpredictably among different python
- installations. Also, avoid "hyping" debugging output, thus
- offering smaller trace output and more informative diff.
- Report and suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.
- * tests/python-virtualenv.test: Require python, since we call it

- Make grepping of generated Makefile.in laxer w.r.t. whitespace.
- Add trailing `:' command.
- * tests/python2.test: Remove repeated calls aclocal: they are

- specifying warnings.
- More tests on warnings/strictness precedence.
- * tests/warning-groups-win-over-strictness.test: New test, similar

- For PR automake/547:
- Change signature of 'Automake::Options::_process_option_list()'.
- This only modifies internal details in the automake implementation,
- bearing no externally visible effect, but preparing the way for the
- final fix of Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
- * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept as
- arguments a list of hash references with keys 'option' and 'where',
- where 'option' is an option as might occur in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or
- AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and 'where' is the location where it occurred.
- (process_option_list, process_global_option_list): Updated.
- * automake.in (handle_options, scan_autoconf_traces): Update.
- Add more tests about AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

- * tests/aclocal.test: Grepping of automake stderr for messages
- reporting invalid options made stricter.
- * tests/no-outdir-option.test: Likewise. Also, create a dummy
- `Makefile.am', to ensure that the automake failures are really
- caused only by unrecognized options.
- * tests/automake.test: Added trailing `:' command. Removed
- redundant checks on `--help' and `--version' option (already
- performed in the test `help*.test').
- 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: enable 'errexit' shell flag by default.

- * tests/README (Writing test cases): Update, and use nicer
- formatting in a couple of places.
- * All tests: Adjusted by removing now-redundant calls to
- 'set -e'.
- 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL

- tests: texinfo unrecognized extensions
- * tests/txinfo-unrecognized-extension.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
- * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
- `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
- redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
- uselessly run it in a subshell.
- * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
- make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
- * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
- configure.in.

- minor improvements.

- * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
- and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
- that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
- preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
- "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
- so they have been moved ...

- exposes automake bug#7800 -- "automake fails to honor `-d' in
- AM_YFLAGS when variable expansions are involved".
- * tests/yflags-d-false-positive.test: New test, checking that
- automake do not spuriously see `-d' in *YFLAGS when that isn't
- really there.
- * tests/yflags-force-override.test: New test, checking that
- automake can cope with definition of the YFLAGS variable in
- Makefile.am (even if that is an extremely bad practice, as that
- variable is user-reserved).
- * tests/yflags-cmdline-override.test: New test, checking that
- automake can cope with user-redefinition of YFLAGS at configure
- time and/or at make time.
- * tests/yflags-conditional.test: New test, checks that automake
- warns on conditionally-defined *YFLAGS variables.

- yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
- Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
- files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
- them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
- simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
- This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
- those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
- by hand.
- This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
- `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
- "make clean".
- * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
- header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by

- Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.
- This change deals with a Zsh incompatibility in the handling
- of the special shell variable `$0' in sourced files; this
- incompatibility used to cause utter breakage when the
- Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
- the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
- For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel
- testsuite run with zsh" on automake-patches, dated 2010-12-22:
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
- This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
- or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
- failures) for earlier Zsh version.
- * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
- workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
- tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
- Done also some minor rewordings.
- * tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround
- for the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0'.
- Abort if that variable cannot be correctly set (can happen only
- in older Zsh version).
- * tests/defs ($me): Define using `$argv0', not `$0'.
- 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Tests defs: keep track of original $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL values.
- This is especially useful for tests which might want to run
- automake and aclocal without additional flags and warnings.

- distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
- * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
- its output each time for a single error message, rather than
- running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
- all the expected error messages. This should work around make
- implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
- information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
- - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

- Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
- In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
- use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has

- compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
- tests that force gcc depmode.

- 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
- * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
- hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
- the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
- not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
- This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
- commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
- tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
- 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- backcompat5.test: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
- * tests/backcompat5.test: Remove double-hash comments
- from makefile rule commands, they are not part of the
- Automake API. Fixes testsuite failure with Tru64 make.
- tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
- * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
- double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
- are not part of the Automake API.
- 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
- * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
- pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
- 2010-11-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
- Skip MSVC oriented tests if the shell is not capable.
- * tests/defs: New required entry 'xsi-shell'.
- * tests/ar-lib.test, tests/compile3.test, tests/compile6.test:
- Require a XSI capable shell.
- Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
- 2010-11-15 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
- compile: clear the `eat' variable earlier.
- * lib/compile: Clear the `eat' variable earlier.

- 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- Rebuild menus in the manual.
- * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
- Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
- Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
- * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use

- * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
- 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
- * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
- Found by NixOS Hydra.
- 2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Fix bug in test `backcompat6.test' (MSYS portability).
- * tests/backcompat6.test (Makefile.am): Grep the output from the
- test program, rather than diffing it, to avoid spurious failures
- on MinGW/MSYS due to LF vs. CRLF line endings.
- Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
- 2010-11-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Deprecate obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX.
- * m4/regex.m4: Document the `AM_WITH_REGEX' macro as obsolete,
- and state that it should be removed two years from now.
- (AM_WITH_REGEX): Raise an m4-time warning of the "obsolete"
- category when this macro is used.

- and "to be removed in a future version".
- * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Improve and extend tests on man pages support.

- * tests/man3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
- * tests/man5.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to
- configure.in.
- * tests/man2.test: Likewise, and add trailing `:' command.
- * tests/man4.test: More thorough and consistent checking of make
- error messages. Place fake `help2man' program in a new `bin'
- directory rather than in `.'. Move the checks using the real
- `help2man' program to ...
- * tests/man6.test: ... this new test, and extend them. This test
- passes with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
- * tests/man7.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
- checks for a bug in maintainer-clean w.r.t. generated manpages.
- * tests/man8.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
- checks for a bug in distcheck w.r.t. generated manpages. Passes

- 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Minor improvements and extensions to various tests.
- * tests/defun.test: Also run autoconf and grep the generated
- configure to make sure that aclocal truly picks up all the
- required macros.
- * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing
- `Exit 0'. Do not create useless dummy source files. Do not set
- useless `$(foo_LDADD)' variable in `Makefile.am'. Do not call
- useless macro `AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS' in `configure.in'.
- * tests/compile_f90_c_cxx.test: Likewise.
- * tests/suffix10.test: Slightly stricter grepping of make output.
- * tests/compile.test: Add trailing `:' command.
- * tests/defun2.test: Likewise.
- * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
- * tests/vartar.test: Likewise.
- * tests/vars.test: Likewise. Also, extend test by checking
- that the definition of `MY_FLAGS*' variables is preserved in
- the generated `Makefile.in'.
- * tests/stamph2.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
- Use proper m4 quoting in `configure.in'.
- 2010-11-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Tests defs: improve messages for skipped tests.
- * tests/defs: Give meaningful messages about the reasons of a
- test skip; this is especially useful as this file is run without
- verbose xtraces on. Related reorderings in the code and new
- comments.
- 2010-11-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'.
- The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. multiple inclusions.
- * tests/defs.in: Removed, its contents split among ...
- * tests/defs-static.in: ... this new file ...
- * tests/defs: ... and this new file, including the former.
- * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs', add
- `tests/defs-static'.
- (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Add `tests/defs'.
- * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update.
- ($(instspc_tests)): Likewise.
- * tests/.gitignore: Update.
- Tests defs: $testsbuilddir is now AC_SUBST'ed.
- * tests/defs.in ($testsbuilddir): Substitute from @abs_builddir@.
- Add sanity check on $testsbuilddir, similar to those on
- $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
- Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
- * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
- the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
- test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
- Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
- each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just
- useless noise.
- Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
- * tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
- consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
- Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
- * tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
- early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
- the current working directory is not changed.
- Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
- * tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
- missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
- before those checks.
- Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
- * tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
- test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
- such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
- Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
- * tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
- relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
- Tests defs: various reorderings.
- * tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a
- clearer way.
- 2010-11-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Fix bug in test `backcompat4.test' (stale autom4te cache).
- * tests/backcompat4.test: Remove stale autom4te cache directory
- before re-running aclocal and automake. Also, since we are at
- it, be more verbose in displaying contents of generated files,
- to ease debuggability.
- Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
- 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
- * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
- "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
- later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
- character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
- escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
- where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
- * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- Reported by Andy Wingo.
- 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Modernize, improve and/or tweak various test scripts.
- * tests/stamph2.test: Improve m4 quoting in `configure.in', and
- prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
- * tests/syntax.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.
- * tests/copy.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Extend test by
- checking with `test' utility that the script `install-sh' is
- copied, but not symlinked.
- * tests/depdist.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
- in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Avoid obsoleted
- constructs in generated `configure.in'. Prefer to do our checks
- by running configure and make over grepping Makefile.in.
- * tests/target-cflags: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag
- earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the
- `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it
- from scratch.
- * tests/target-clash: Do not uselessly run autoconf.
- * tests/ctarget1.test: Renamed ...
- * tests/cond-basic.test: ... to this. Use the `configure.in' stub
- created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch.
- Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just
- after inclusion of ./defs). Other minor cosmetic changes.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
- 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- New tests on obsoleted usages of automake/autoconf macros (such
- as AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AC_OUTPUT).
- * tests/backcompat.test: New test script.
- * tests/backcompat2.test: Likewise.
- * tests/backcompat3.test: Likewise.
- * tests/backcompat4.test: Likewise.
- * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
- * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise.
- * tests/init.test: Extended and improved, esp. by trying more
- combinations of calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE with few
- arguments.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
- 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
- * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
- if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
- by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
- of test `vala2.test'.
- 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
- * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
- modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
- * NEWS: Update.
- * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
- stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
- (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
- and header remaking.
- * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
- passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
- * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
- %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
- * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
- New tests.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- 2010-11-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'.
- This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged
- "tests-init" branch. In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define
- anymore `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$testsrcdir'; but
- the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug.
- Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically
- exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from
- manifesting itself.
- * tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test
- scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'.
- 2010-11-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'.
- The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile. Its running
- time was very long. It also produced a log that was nearly
- unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find
- out the reason for failures.
- Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious)
- failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if
- everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases).
- The present change should solve these problems, by separating
- `instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated
- tests.
- * tests/instspc.test: Removed.
- * tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role:
- 1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am',
- containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take
- over the older `instspc.test', and
- 2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters
- pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks.
- This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation
- code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined.
- * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this
- snippet, which (among the other things) defines ...
- (instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
- newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ...
- (instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list
- of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail.
- ($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests.
- ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency
- of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script.
- (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'.
- (XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh.
- (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests).
- Other minor cosmetic changes.
- * bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am.
- * tests/.gitignore: Updated.
- 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
- * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
- (Introduction): Refer to it.
- 2010-10-07 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
- depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later.
- * lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which
- make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7.
- * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes
- similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not
- support the -o option.
- 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Add support for newer python versions.
- * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
- _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
- line and fix indentation.
- * THANKS: Updated.
- From a report by Thomas Klausner.
- Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
- * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
- Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
- * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
- flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
- * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
- * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
- instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
- please maintainer-check.
- * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
- 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
- * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
- flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
- to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
- * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
- * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
- * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
- 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- tests: fix ar-lib.test for echo that interprets backslashes.
- * tests/ar-lib.test: Use printf instead of echo. Avoid test -a.
- More robust quoting.
- 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- maintainer-check coverage for variables before rules.
- * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): Suggest keeping
- around the test directories.
- (sc_tests_makefile_variable_order): New rule with a heuristic to
- catch ordering violations.
- Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
- * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
- are expanded before rules.
- * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
- get matched as a rule.
- Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
- 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

- Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
- Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
- * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
- start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
- before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
- testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.
- * NEWS: Update.
- Reports by Ludovic Courtès, Peter Breitenlohner, and others.
- 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
- This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
- because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

- w32 (MSYS).
- * NEWS: Update.
- Report by Bob Friesenhahn.
- 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
- * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
- it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
- and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
- $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
- in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
- * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
- `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
- * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
- `--version' take precedence on the other options.
- * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
- `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
- line wins.
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
- 2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.

- ($PATH_SEPARATOR): New AC_SUBST'd variables.
- ($PATH): Use it.
- 2010-09-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
- * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
- directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
- regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
- (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
- `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private
- directories.
- (missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t.
- the version control system used.
- Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
- * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
- example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
- the "cvs-dist" one.
- Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
- * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
- git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".
- * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise.
- * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise.
- * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise.
- * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Likewise.
- * lib/Automake/Version.pm (=head1 DESCRIPTION): Refer to "git
- branches" rather than "CVS branches".
- Remove obsolete .cvsignore files.
- * .cvsignore, doc/.cvsignore, lib/.cvsignore, lib/am/.cvsignore,
- lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
- m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
- savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
- the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or
- keeping around.
- 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years.
- 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen.
- * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site
- `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which
- seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release
- tarballs now).
- 2010-09-21 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
- compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking
- * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and
- -static option so that the user can select whether to prefer
- dll import libraries or static libraries. This enables MSVC to

- Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
- Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
- autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
- and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake

- * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
- instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
- since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
- if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.

- in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
- a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
- cause the whole test to fail.
- 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- together, by setting the 'partial' flag for the first one.
- Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
- Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
- Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
- treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
- and unstable exit status values.

- Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test.
- * tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped
- copyright years). Due to this change, the testcase should now
- fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose
- outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping
- the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr.
- 2010-04-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

- Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
- * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
- $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
- symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
- distdir.am.
- 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
- Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
- * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):

- expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
- to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
- %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
- * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
- `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
- (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
- set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
- * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
- verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
- dependencies are enabled.
- * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
- also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
- * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
- dependency tracking.
- * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
- * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
- Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
- 2010-01-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
- Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
- * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
- autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
- configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
- created.
- * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
- Fix test acoutbs2.test.
- * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
- to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
- PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
- Updated copyright years.
- * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
- Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
- * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
- filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
- acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
- (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
- 2010-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
