The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should take some care here.

d19eb85c	2013-05-24T01:13:40	tests: use append mode to capture parallel make output This will allow us to run the Automake testsuite forcing all the make invocations in the test cases to run in parallel mode [1], but without hitting the spurious failure reported in automake bug#11413. See also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2013-05/msg00135.html> The make invocations in the test cases can be forced to run in parallel mode by, e.g., invoking "make check" like this: make check AM_TESTSUITE_MAKE="make -j16" The possible spurious failures hinted above are due to the fact that the redirected output of parallel make can racily lose lines. For example, if GNU make (3.82) is run with -j10 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. Redirection in append mode does not suffer of this problem, as explained here: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2009-03/msg00073.html> See also previous commits v1.12-63-g45c1fcd of 2012-05-05 (tests: use append mode to capture parallel make output) and Release-1-10-280-g6426999 of 2009-03-10 (Use append mode to capture parallel test output). * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (run_make): Adjust and enhance. * t/lisp8.sh: Take advantage of the enhancement, nd stop doing output redirection for $MAKE by hand. * t/tap-more.sh: Likewise. * t/parallel-tests-concurrency.sh: Likewise.

226be35f	2012-07-14T21:52:43	elisp: use suffix rules, get rid of 'elisp-comp' script (mostly a rewrite) Motivated by automake bug#11806. Traditionally, automake byte-compiled emacs-lisp '.el' files by invoking 'elisp-comp' on all of them in a bulk; this involved complex timestamping and file-locking logic. It was also brittle in any slightly-unusual setup, because 'elisp-comp' operated by copying all of the elisp files to be compiled into a temporary sub-directory and compiling them in there, the copying the resulting byte-compile files back in the build directory. This patch removes all of that juggling and chicanery in favour of defining a much simpler '.el.elc' suffix rule. Not only this is simpler, but it also interacts better with "make -jN" calls, which are becoming more and more common and useful on today's increasingly multicore systems. * Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Remove 'elisp-comp'. * automake.in (@common_files): Likewise. (handle_emacs_lisp): Do not require 'elisp-comp'. * doc/automake.texi: Remove references to 'elisp-comp'. * lib/am/lisp.am: Define elisp compilation via a suffix rule; this basically amounts to a complete re-write of the lisp byte-compilation rules. * lib/elisp-comp: Remove. * t/add-missing.tap: Remove elisp-comp test. * t/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.sh: Remove reference to elisp-comp. * t/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.tap: Likewise. * t/primary-prefix-valid-couples.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp4.sh: Remove reference to elc-stamp. * t/lisp5.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp6.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp3.sh: Likewise.

c2a52bf0	2012-06-24T10:36:15	tests: simpler workaround for shells losing the exit status in exit trap Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh). For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the Autoconf manual: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap> The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following shells: - Bash 4.1 - Bash 3.2 - Bash 3.0 - Bash 2.05b - dash 0.5.5.1 - dash 0.5.2 - AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package) - MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package) - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh * t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ... (_am_exit): ... like this. (exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit' as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it. (_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same name. * configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite supports aliases named like shell builtins. * t/REAMDE: Adjust. * All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'. * t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit' after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t. that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be honored. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete. (sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. (sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little. * Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check. * gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the generated scripts. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
6e713425	2012-06-14T13:13:58	tests: use more POSIX shell features our test scripts Since commit 'v1.12-36-g2d68fd9' of 2012-05-07, "configure: search a sturdy POSIX shell to be used in the testsuite", the shell running our test script is assured to be a POSIX-conforming shell, so we can use the more modern and flexible idioms and features that we couldn't use when we also aimed at compatibility with non-POSIX Bourne shells, like Solaris /bin/sh. * t/README: Suggest to use POSIX shell features liberally in test cases, with possible exception of Makefile recipes and configure shell code. * Several tests: Adjust to use more POSIX shell features; e.g., $(...) rather than `...`, $((...)) rather than `expr ...`, "if ! CMD; then ..." instead of "if CMD; then :; else ...", and so on. In several places, when using the 'test' built-in, prefer '-eq' over '=' for numeric comparisons, and prefer "grep -c PATTERN FILE" over "grep PATTERN FILE \| wc -l". Throw in other low-hanging easy improvements and fixlets while we are at it. * t/ax/depcomp.sh, t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/tap-functions.sh, defs, defs-static.in: Likewise.

Redirection in append mode does not suffer of this problem. See also similar commit 'Release-1-10-280-g6426999' of 2009-03-10, "Use append mode to capture parallel test output", which tackled a similar problem for 't/parallel-tests3.sh' and 't/lisp8.sh'. * t/tap-more.sh: Use append mode for output from "make -j", to avoid dropped lines. * t/parallel-tests3.sh, t/lisp8.sh: Enhance comments.

8a5096d1	2012-04-06T13:12:25	tests: rename 'tests/' => 't/', '.test' => '.sh' When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information. Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test' script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test' will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters. * tests/: Rename ... * t/: ... to this. * t/.test: Rename ... t/.sh: ... to this. t/.gitignore: Removed as obsolete. * t/defs: Adjust. * t/gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * t/ccnoco.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco3.sh: Likewise. * t/self-check-cleanup.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-dir.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-me.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-reexec.tap: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * bootstrap: Likewise * configure.ac: Likewise. * Makefile.am: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise. * syntax-check.mk: Likewise.

Prefer https: URLs In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is downstream of, which I'll patch separately. Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers, and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other countries browse US-based websites. See, for example: Aceto G, Botta A, Pescapé A, Awan MF, Ahmad T, Qaisar S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI 2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626 HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should take some care here.

For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the Autoconf manual: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap> The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following shells: - Bash 4.1 - Bash 3.2 - Bash 3.0 - Bash 2.05b - dash 0.5.5.1 - dash 0.5.2 - AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package) - MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package) - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh * t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ... (_am_exit): ... like this. (exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit' as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it. (_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same name. * configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite supports aliases named like shell builtins. * t/REAMDE: Adjust. * All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'. * t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit' after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t. that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be honored. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete. (sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. (sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little. * Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check. * gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the generated scripts. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

tests: use more POSIX shell features our test scripts Since commit 'v1.12-36-g2d68fd9' of 2012-05-07, "configure: search a sturdy POSIX shell to be used in the testsuite", the shell running our test script is assured to be a POSIX-conforming shell, so we can use the more modern and flexible idioms and features that we couldn't use when we also aimed at compatibility with non-POSIX Bourne shells, like Solaris /bin/sh. * t/README: Suggest to use POSIX shell features liberally in test cases, with possible exception of Makefile recipes and configure shell code. * Several tests: Adjust to use more POSIX shell features; e.g., $(...) rather than `...`, $((...)) rather than `expr ...`, "if ! CMD; then ..." instead of "if CMD; then :; else ...", and so on. In several places, when using the 'test' built-in, prefer '-eq' over '=' for numeric comparisons, and prefer "grep -c PATTERN FILE" over "grep PATTERN FILE | wc -l". Throw in other low-hanging easy improvements and fixlets while we are at it. * t/ax/depcomp.sh, t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/tap-functions.sh, defs, defs-static.in: Likewise.

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. See also similar commit 'Release-1-10-280-g6426999' of 2009-03-10, "Use append mode to capture parallel test output", which tackled a similar problem for 't/parallel-tests3.sh' and 't/lisp8.sh'. * t/tap-more.sh: Use append mode for output from "make -j", to avoid dropped lines. * t/parallel-tests3.sh, t/lisp8.sh: Enhance comments.

tests: rename 'tests/' => 't/', '*.test' => '*.sh' When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information. Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test' script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test' will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters. * tests/: Rename ... * t/: ... to this. * t/*.test: Rename ... * t/*.sh: ... to this. * t/.gitignore: Removed as obsolete. * t/defs: Adjust. * t/gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * t/ccnoco.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco3.sh: Likewise. * t/self-check-cleanup.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-dir.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-me.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-reexec.tap: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * bootstrap: Likewise * configure.ac: Likewise. * Makefile.am: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise. * syntax-check.mk: Likewise.
