23e69f6e | 2024-05-27 12:34:35 | test: check that subsecond mtime works with make. Trying to fix https://bugs.gnu.org/68808. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): check that make works with subsecond mtimes, as well as sleep and ls. (Known to fail with the make 3.81 that ships with macOS.) * configure.ac (MTIME_RESOLUTION): notice if it erroneously expands to the empty string, i.e., fall back to 1 if $am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution ended up being unset. * t/ax/test-defs.in (MTIME_RESOLUTION): also fall back to 1 if the variable to not set, with a message. Fix other typos en passant. * HACKING: tweak. | |

0d49ecb2 | 2024-05-21 09:54:35 | doc: test-driver option args are separate words. For https://bugs.gnu.org/70638. As now mentioned in the manual, the description of the test-driver command-line interface has been wrong since 2011 when it was first added. The manual, and the driver usage messages themselves, have consistently shown option arguments joined to the option name with `=' characters, while the implementation of Automake has always provided option arguments in the following argument word, and the provided test drivers only accepted option arguments in the following argument word. Because Automake has never used the `=' syntax, there can't possibly be a working driver which actually follows the specification as written, so, despite the fierce language of the manual, we agreed that changing the specification was the right approach. The `test-driver' program's usage message has already been fixed (#22445), but the full extent of the problem wasn't noticed at that time. * doc/automake.texi (Command-line arguments for test drivers): Fix the table of options to show arguments passed as separate words; add footnote explaining this rather sorry situation. * doc/automake.texi (Use TAP with the Automake test harness): Remove `=' from documentation of `--diagnostic-string', because that was never acceptable either. * lib/tap-driver.sh: Fix usage message. * contrib/tap-driver.pl: Change usage message to match the defined protocol. (This implementation parses options using Perl's `Getopt::Long' module, so it accepts the `=' syntax as specified, but this program isn't actually used.) | |

|
2fa17ccc | 2024-01-23 08:53:18 | automake: recommend autoreconf -f with version mismatches. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68674. * bin/automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): change error to suggest running autoreconf -f. The version mismatch is most likely to happen due to the cache files, which aclocal && automake (the previous recommendation) does not delete. (scan_autoconf_files): likewise. * doc/automake.texi (Auto-generating aclocal.m4): mention autoreconf. Other minor wording changes. | |

22ecc131 | 2024-01-17 09:51:40 | automake: a millisecond is too fast for subsecond-mtime. This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/68325. * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): don't try for a millisecond; make a hundredth of a second the fastest we'll go. Apparently there are plenty of systems which supposedly support subsecond-mtimes down to the millisecond and yet randomly fail parallelized tests. For example: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=68119#18 Maybe the tests themselves need fixing. (The ones that run autotools multiple times in succession.) A work in progress. | |

21ac1161 | 2023-12-30 15:37:05 | dist: Use -9 instead of --best, and only for gzip, to pacify Alpine. From https://bugs.gnu.org/68151. * lib/am/distdir.am (GZIP_ENV): Set to -9, not --best, since Alpine does not support --best. (distcheck): Don't use GZIP_ENV when invoking gzip for decompression, since Alpine does not support -1..-9 with decompression. * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Document the change. * NEWS: mention this.

cfdb83d4 | 2023-12-10 09:50:51 | automake: again revise file mtime resolution support. This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/67670. In order for the Automake testsuite to be able to use sub-second delays to control whether certain files are considered newer than others, five(!) separate pieces of software all need to cooperate: automake itself, autoconf's internal `autom4te' utility, the Perl interpreter and its libraries, the sleep(1) shell utility, and finally the filesystem hosting the build directory. The existing tests for this are a combination of inadequate and incorrect. This patch, in conjunction with a patch just committed to Autoconf trunk, https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=39d96e6fff7ceae63b823872602caf4d255a38c8 should make everything much more robust, as follows: - _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION is completely rewritten. It no longer looks for autom4te at all, because this macro is invoked unconditionally from AM_INIT, so *every* project that uses Automake would get this test that's only relevant to Automake's own testsuite. Also, it tries sleeping for as little as one millisecond (smaller delays consistently get rounded up to 1ms on my computer and I expect that's universal), it should accurately detect FAT's two-second resolution now, and it should not be tripped up anymore by running at precisely the moment that will make a 0.1s sleep cross a 1s boundary (this may sound unlikely but it used to cause a couple of test failures *every time* I ran the automake testsuite on a network filesystem that only supported 1s resolution). - In support of the above, the test for working ls -t moved from AM_SANITY_CHECK to _AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION. This allowed me to simplify the test for $srcdir/configure being older than a freshly created file. - If automake is capable of reading high-resolution file modification timestamps from the operating system, it prints `Features: subsecond-mtime' as the second line of --version output. (We can't just assume this works for sufficiently new automake, because it depends on whether the Perl interpreter provides this capability, and that's not a simple question of which version of Perl you have, either.) - The Autoconf patch mentioned above adds the same annotation to the output of autom4te --version. - Finally, t/ax/test-defs.in looks for the `Features: subsecond-mtime' string from both automake and autom4te and resets the sleep time to one second if it's not there. There might be a better place to put this, somewhere it'll execute every time the *overall testsuite* is invoked rather than once for each test, but I couldn't find one. Tested on x86-64-linux with development automake and development autoconf. Previous discussion: - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2023-03/msg00000.html - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2023-04/msg00002.html - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2023-12/msg00005.html - https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=64756 * m4/sanity.m4 (_AM_FILESYSTEM_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION): Rewrite for greater reliability. Don't probe autom4te at all here. Check for working ls -t here. (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Do not cache the result. Do not check for working `ls -t' here. Disentangle control flow in the loop probing the relative ages of build and source directory. * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Sync from autoconf. * bin/automake.in (version): Include `Features: subsecond-mtime' in the output if $Automake::FileUtils::subsecond_mtime is true. * configure.ac: Rename the substitution variable MODIFICATION_DELAY to MTIME_RESOLUTION. * t/ax/test-defs.in: Require both $AUTOMAKE and $AUTOM4TE to report support for high-resolution timestamps before setting $sleep to delay for less than one second. * NEWS: Update info. | |

8cdbdda5 | 2023-11-21 08:30:00 | automake: make the ARFLAGS default 'cr' instead of 'cru'. In some GNU/Linux distributions people started to compile 'ar' binary with --enable-deterministic-archives (binutils project). That, however, in combination with our previous long time working default AR_FLAGS=cru causes warnings on such installations: ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U') The 'u' option (at least with GNU binutils) did small optimization during repeated builds because it instructed 'ar' to not open/close unchanged *.o files and to rather read their contents from old archive file. However, its removal should not cause a big performance hit for usual workflows. Distributions started using --enable-deterministic-archives knowing that it would disable the 'u', just to rather have a bit more deterministic builds. Also, to justify this change a bit more, keeping 'u' in ARFLAGS could only result in many per-project changes to override Automake's ARFLAGS default, just to silence such warnings. Fixes bug#20082. Reported by Eric Blake. * bin/automake.in (handle_libraries): Use 'ARFLAGS=cr' by default. * doc/automake.texi (Building a library): Mention the changed ARFLAGS default. (@c LocalWords): Replace 'cru' with 'cr'. * m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): Cut out 'cru' string into separate ARFLAGS variable with new default 'cr'. * NEWS: Document. | |

c1f34ffe | 2023-08-28 18:32:53 | tests: don't try to prevent flex from including unistd.h. This patch is from https://bugs.gnu.org/59994. * t/cond35.sh: This patch is related to an effort to prepare Automake for future GCC/Clang versions which set c99 as default standard to be used. In the current version of flex, not having unistd.h leads to implicit function declarations that are not compatible with C99. A future version of flex will (hopefully) make the "NO_UNISTD" flag a no-op, and include unistd.h by default. Also, while flex-dedicated tests had this macro set, yacc tests did not, despite their use of flex. For consistency, all the yacc/flex related tests now have the "--never-interactive" option set in AM_LFLAGS, and do not try define an isatty function. * t/lex-clean-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-clean.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-header.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-lib-external.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-lib.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-libobj.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-line.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-multiple.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-nodist.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-noyywrap.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-pr204.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-subobj-nodep.sh: Likewise. * t/lex3.sh: Likewise. * t/lex5.sh: Likewise. * t/lexvpath.sh: Likewise. * t/silent-lex.sh: Likewise. * t/silent-many-languages.sh: Likewise. * t/silent-yacc-headers.sh: Likewise. * t/silent-yacc.sh: Likewise. * t/subpkg-yacc.sh: Likewise. * t/suffix10.tap: Likewise. * t/yacc-auxdir.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-basic.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-bison-skeleton-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-bison-skeleton.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-clean-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-clean.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-cxx-grepping.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-d-basic.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-d-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-d-vpath.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-deleted-headers.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-depend.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-depend2.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-dist-nobuild.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-dry.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-grepping.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-grepping2.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-headers-and-dist-pr47.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-line.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-misc.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-mix-c-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-nodist.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-pr204.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-subdir.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-vpath.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-weirdnames.sh: Likewise. * t/yflags-cmdline-override.sh: Likewise. * t/yflags-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yflags-d-false-positives.sh: Likewise. * t/yflags-force-conditional.sh: Likewise. * t/yflags-force-override.sh: Likewise. * t/yflags-var-expand.sh: Likewise. * t/yflags.sh: Likewise. | |
