06dfdbe3 2012-06-10 13:38:58 subdir-objects: improve "make mostlyclean" efficiency and flexibility Fixes automake bug#10697. Before this change, the generated Makefile issued one 'rm' invocation for each subdir object file. Not only was this very inefficient when there were several such files, but it also caused stale object files to be left behind when a source file was renamed or removed. * automake.in (handle_single_transform): When a subdir object is seen, update '%compile_clean_files' to clean all the compiled objects in its same subdirectory, and all the libtool compiled objects ('.lo') there as well is that subdir object is a libtool one. * t/subobj-clean-pr10697.sh: New test. * t/subobj-clean-lt-pr10697.sh: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add them. * NEWS: Update.

96497293 2012-06-01 19:15:29 maint: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input It has been years since that has been deprecated in the documentation, in favour of 'configure.ac': Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name configure.in, which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to process this file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight confusion with config.h.in and so on (for which '.in' means "to be processed by configure"). Using configure.ac is now preferred. It's now time to start giving runtime warning about the use of 'configure.in', so that support for it can be removed in future versions of autoconf/automake. See also, in the Autoconf repository, commit 'v2.69-4-g560f16b' of 2012-05-23, "general: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input". * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Issue a warning in the 'obsolete' category if 'configure.in' is detected. Since this module is synced from Automake, this change is to be backported there (and will be soon). * t/help.sh: Adjust. * t/configure.sh: Adjust and enhance.

ff022f46 2012-05-29 11:58:02 perf: beginning of a performance testsuite Some tests in the Automake testsuite already aims only at verifying the performance, rather than the correctness, of some operations. Still, they are somewhat shoehorned and forced into the PASS/FAIL framework (say, with the 'ulimit' shell builtin used to verify some operation doesn't take up too much time or memory), but that is conceptually a stretch, and has already caused problems in practice (see automake bug#11512 for an example). So we start moving the "performance tests" out of the testsuite proper, and make them run only "on demand" (when the user exports the variable 'AM_TESTSUITE_PERF' to "yes"). Ideally, we should provide those tests with a custom runner/driver that measures and displays the relevant performance information, but doing that correctly and with the right APIs is definitely more difficult, so we leave it for a later step (an hope we'll take such a step eventually). * t/cond29.sh: Move ... * t/perf/cond.sh: ... here, and adjust. * t/testsuite-recheck-speed.sh: Move ... * t/perf/testsuite-recheck.sh: ... here. * t/testsuite-summary-speed.sh: Move ... * t/perf/testsuite-summary.sh: ... here. * t/list-of-tests.mk (perf_TESTS): New variable, listing the tests in the 't/perf' directory.

This change is not strictly required for mainline automake, but will help in the Automake-NG branch. * sc_tests_here_document_format: Relax a bit, so that usages like "cout << "string" << endl;" in the test scripts (usages which can be used in here documents defining C++ sources) are not flagged as uses of bad delimiters for here documents. This change is not strictly required for mainline automake, but will help in the Automake-NG branch, and will anyway be more future proof w.r.t. possible future testsuite additions.

7b142a7b 2012-05-15 16:12:09 tests: use 'parallel-tests' Automake option by default This will help our transition from 'serial-tests' to 'parallel-tests' as the default test suite driver enabled by a TESTS assignment in the input Makefile.am. Note that that change of default will only take place in master, though. * defs: Pass the 'parallel-tests' option to the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation in the created 'configure.ac' stub, unless the variable 'am_serial_tests' is set to "yes". Don't pay attention anymore to the 'am_parallel_tests' variable, that's obsolete now. * defs-static.in: Warn if the 'am_serial_tests' variable is set in the environment; conversely, don't warn anymore about 'am_parallel_tests' being set in the environment. * Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Nullify the 'am_serial_tests' variable instead of the now-obsolete 'am_parallel_tests' one. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_obsolete_variables): Also warn against uses of 'am_parallel_tests', which is now deprecated in favor of 'am_serial_tests'. Similarly, if a use of 'parallel_tests' is seen, suggest using 'am_serial_tests' instead, not 'am_parallel_tests'. * gen-testsuite-part: Now that we use the 'parallel-tests' by default in our tests, we need to completely change the logic and semantics of generation of sibling tests for those tests that check the Automake generated testsuite harness itself. Do that, and give a complete explanation of the new logic and semantics in the relevant comments. * t/README: Update. * Lots of test cases: Adjust.

b6359a5f 2012-05-16 18:16:41 ylwrap: preserve subdirectories in "#line" munging If Automake is used in non-recursive mode and one of the inputs is a yacc file, for example, "src/grammar.y", ylwrap will remove too many directories from the output file when it adjusts the paths in it. This results in #line directives referring to "grammar.y" instead of "src/grammar.y". This is a result of $input_rx simply taking all the directory components of the absolute input path and removing them. One solution is to store the path passed to ylwrap and replace $input_rx with it. This is what we do. Suggestion and initial patch (without tests) by Nikolai Weibull: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-05/msg00013.html> Final patch by Stefano Lattarini. * lib/ylwrap ($input_sub_rx): New. When munging the #line directives, substitute '$input_rx' with it, instead of stripping it altogether. Adjust comments. * t/yacc-line.sh, t/lex-line: Adjust and extend. * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

Autoconf has been converted to these names too. But users may still depend upon these, so reestablish them.

45c1fcd9 2012-05-05 19:22:40 tests: use append mode to capture parallel make output This should fix the spurious failure reported in automake bug#11413. This is due to the fact that the redirected output of parallel make can racily loose lines. For example, if GNU make (3.82) is run on a Makefile like this: all = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 default: $(all) $(all): @sleep 0.$$(($RANDOM % 10)); echo $@ and has its standard output redirected in overwrite-mode to a regular file, it looses a line of that output every 15 runs or so on a Fedora 17 system with 64 ppc64 cores and Linux 3.3.1. Redirection in append mode does not suffer of this problem.

b105d40d 2012-04-30 20:44:50 color-tests: coloring can be forced on non-ANSI terminals as well Before this change, colorization of testsuite output was suppressed whenever the terminal was recognized to be a "dumb" one, incapable of handling ANSI coloring (i.e., when the environment variable TERM had a value of "dumb"). This happened even when the AM_COLOR_TESTS variable was set to a value of "always". Such a behaviour was suboptimal and slightly confusing; in fact, if a user wants to force coloring of testsuite output that is being redirected to a regular file, he should be able to do so even if his terminal is not capable of handling ANSI colors -- in fact, such terminal wouldn't be involved with the testsuite output in any way, so why should it be allowed to influence it? Thus, we now enable coloring of test output whenever AM_COLOR_TESTS is set to "always", irrespective of the value of the TERM environment variable. * NEWS: Update. * lib/am/check.am [%?COLOR%] (am__tty_colors): Activate colorization of testsuite output whenever AM_COLOR_TESTS has the value of "always". * t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh: Export the TERM environment variable to "dumb" when forcing colorization of the testsuite output; this should *not* prevent such colorization from taking place, and we want to check that this expectation really holds. * t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise. * t/color.sh: Likewise, and adjust some grepping checks. * t/tap-color.sh: Likewise.

5f810d0d 2012-04-28 10:21:31 fixup: avoid unconditional re-bootstrapping on "make dist" Since our 'bootstrap' script is distributed, the 'distdir' target depends on it. But in our GNUmakefile, we also have a 'bootstrap' target declared .PHONY, which when called re-bootstrap the Automake distribution. Thus, whenever we run "make dist", GNU make sees it must remake the 'bootstrap' target (as it is a dependency of the 'distdir' target), and thus ends up re-bootstrapping all the package (because of the .PHONY 'bootstrap' target in GNUmakefile). We fix this issue by renaming our bootstrap script to 'bootstrap.sh'. * bootstrap: Renamed ... * bootstrap.sh: ... to this. * GNUmakefile (bootstrap): Adjust. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.

56badcd4 2012-04-27 18:48:27 bootstrap: add convenience make target Dependencies in the Automake build system are not completely specified (see for example the commit log of recent commit 'v1.12-10-gab14841', "build: avoid too greedy rebuilds in the testsuite"). In fact, some of them cannot even be; for example, Makefile is generated at configure time from Makefile.in, which should be regenerated by our bleeding-edge automake script, which is generated by out Makefile -- specifying the complete chain of dependencies here would bring to a circular dependency issue. For this reason, before testing or deploying a change, we are often forced to perform a full re-bootstrap of the Automake package, to ensure all our files are actually up-to-date. Until now, this has to be done manually, thus causing wasted keystrokes and more possibilities of error. With this change, we introduce a new 'bootstrap' make target to automatize all the (easy) steps of this re-bootstrapping (plus some minor bells & whistles since we are at it). * GNUmakefile: Rewrite to allow an easy bootstrapping and clean rebuild of the whole package, in particular with the help of ... (bootstrap): ... this new target. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
b99b5be0 2012-04-27 11:14:53 automake, aclocal: update copyright year in output Fixes automake bug#11356. * aclocal.in, automake.in: Add copyright year '2012' in the version message. Ditto for the copyright notice in the generated Makefile.in or aclocal.m4 files; and for those, since we are at it, prefer using a range for copyright years, rather than listing each copyright year individually.

018a1866 2012-04-26 17:47:14 maint: don't use "union" merge driver for NEWS anymore The use of the "union" merge driver to avoid conflicts in NEWS has proven to be problematic, as it often silently produced mis-merges (instead of spurious conflicts, but a spurious conflict is better than a mis-merge). Also, our new branching policy (see automake bug#11153 for a description) should greatly mitigate the problem of merge conflicts in NEWS.

ab14841a 2012-04-26 15:05:05 build: avoid too greedy rebuilds in the testsuite The autogenerated makefile fragment 't/testsuite-part.am' used to depend on the list of *all* the hand-written files. This was technically correct, since that makefile fragment was (and still is) generated by the script 'gen-testsuite-part', which scans all the hand-written files to detect implicit dependencies and to decide for which tests a further wrapper test should be generated. However, the presence of such a dependency implied that, whenever *any* test case was modified (no matter how slightly), the 't/testsuite-part.am' file was rebuilt, and since that is included by our 'Makefile.am', the 'Makefile.in' file was rebuilt as well by automake. In order to do so, automake scanned our 'configure.ac' file, which requires the latest Autoconf version (2.69 at the time of writing), and the casual user can easily lack that on his machine (and that should be allowed, as automake currently supports any autoconf version >= 2.62). The described situation could hinder in-field testing or debugging by users (even experienced ones) that are not automake developers; see for example automake bug#11347. So we drop the explicit dependency of 't/testsuite-part.am' on the hand-written test cases. (As an aside, note that this has already been done in Automake-NG, albeit for other reasons; see the commit 'v1.11b-129-g1690aca' of 2012-04-23, "[ng] build: define $(TESTS) through a wildcard"). This is not a serious regression in the faithfulness of the Automake build systems, since it unfortunately already had several undeclared dependencies; e.g., 'Makefile.in' should depend on the automake script, and 'aclocal.m4' should depend on the aclocal script (but this isn't possible, as it would mean that distributed files depend on ones generated at make time). Similarly, 'Makefile.in' should depend on some of the 'lib/am/*.am' files, but does not. Currently, the workaround to get a faithful and correct rebuild is to run ./bootstrap && ./config.status --recheck && make clean all and the present commit does not change that. * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/t/testsuite-part.am): Don't depend on 't/list-of-tests.mk' nor on '$(handwritten_TESTS)' anymore. ($(generated_TESTS)): Likewise, and don't depend on 'Makefile.am' either. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
