 |
6f4b08da | 2012-03-06 09:50:09 | tests: explicitly state that our lexers do not require unistd.h By default, GNU flex generates code that is dependent on unistd.h, which is not portable to non-ANSI systems causing spurious test failures. * tests/cond35.test (tscan.l): Define YY_NO_UNISTD_H. * tests/lex-clean.test (lexer.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-depend.test (joe.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-lib-external.test (foo.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-lib.test (foo.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-libobj.test (foo.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-line.test (zardoz.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-nodist.test (lexer.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-noyywrap.test (foo.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-pr204.test (lexer.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-subobj-nodep.test (subl/sl.l): Likewise. * tests/lex3.test (foo.l): Likewise. * tests/lex5.test (foo/foo.l): Likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test (lexer.l): Likewise. * tests/silent-lex.test (foo.l): Likewise. * tests/silent-many-gcc.test (foo5.l): Likewise. * tests/silent-many-generic.test (foo5.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-clean-cxx.test (parsefoo.lxx): Likewise.

5f624a6a | 2012-03-06 09:31:43 | Merge branch 'msvc' * msvc: scripts: support -I <dir> -L <dir> and -l <lib> for cl in compile | |
|
8902f83d | 2012-03-06 09:14:50 | scripts: support -I <dir> -L <dir> and -l <lib> for cl in compile POSIX mandates that the compiler accepts a space between the -I, -l and -L options and their respective arguments. See http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/utilities/c99.html * lib/compile (func_cl_dashl): New function with factored out code for implementing the -l option for the cl wrapper. (func_cl_dashL): New function with factored out code implementing the -L option for the cl wrapper. (func_cl_wrapper): Use func_cl_dashl to implement both -l <lib> and -l<lib>, and func_cl_dashL to implement both -L <dir> and -L<dir>. Also add support for -I <dir>. (scriptversion): Update. * tests/compile3.test: Test both with and without a space between -I, -l and -L and their respective arguments. * tests/compile5.test: Likewise. * tests/compile6.test: Likewise. * tests/compile3.test: Likewise. * NEWS: Update. | |

74a7f492 | 2012-03-04 16:00:58 | maint: drop 'Automake::Struct' module Now that we require Perl 5.6, we can drop the 'Automake::Struct' module, which was basically just a backport of Perl 5.6's 'Class::Struct' to Perl 5.5. * automake.in: Use 'Class::Struct', not 'Automake::Struct'. * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Delete. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (dist_perllib_DATA): Remove it. | |
|
7df05a0b | 2012-03-04 15:44:46 | maint: require perl 5.6 throughout That version of perl is quite old already, so it should be OK to require it. More importantly, it is the older perl versions the developers can currently use for testing, thus it's safer and more honest to just require it throughout. And anyway, we were already requiring it in Automake::Getopt, which implied that both automake and aclocal wouldn't have worked in practice with an older perl version. See also the discussion related to automake bug#10925. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Adjusted to require perl 5.6. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Condition.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/General.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Item.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/ItemDef.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Location.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Options.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/RuleDef.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Version.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Likewise. | |

7f9974c7 | 2012-03-04 13:02:57 | cosmetics: remove useless escaping for "'" character | |
|
1ac2c3dd | 2012-03-04 12:56:54 | test defs: remove redundant and unused requirements * tests/defs (xsi-bin-sh, xsi-shell): Remove these requirements, they have never been used. (cygpath, cscope): Recognizing these explicitly is mostly redundant; just merge them with the default "catch all" rule, and adjust that accordingly. (bzip2): Adjust some outdated comments. | |
|
ec47213f | 2012-03-02 21:53:52 | tests: fix spurious failure on case-insensitive file systems See automake bug#10866. * tests/java-uninstall.test: Relax the test a little to cater to case-insensitive file systems, like HFS+ on MacOS X. | |
|
6f7969a3 | 2012-03-02 23:06:02 | news: more about planned backward incompatibilities * NEWS (Future backward-incompatibilities): Starting from the next major Automake versions, the parallel testsuite driver will be used by default, instead of the serial testsuite driver as in the past. | |
|
57d09886 | 2012-03-02 22:50:21 | maintcheck: fix few spurious failures * syntax-checks.mk: Fix some spurious failures by tightening and/or tweaking few checks so that some false positives end up whitelisted. | |
|
1ca53a79 | 2012-03-02 22:24:35 | tests: fix spurious failure due to exported MAKEINFO * tests/txinfo30.test: Unset variable MAKEINFO, as its content could take precedence over our faked makeinfo script and cause a spurious failure. Reported as part of automake bug#10866. Add trailing ':' command since we are at it. | |
|
bee6dc63 | 2012-03-02 22:07:58 | tests: fix spurious failure in a vala test * tests/vala-mix2.test: Append to 'configure.ac' rather than to 'configure.in'. Reported as part of automake bug#10866, and also revealed by "make maintainer-check". | |
|
b79511a1 | 2012-02-26 14:17:36 | self checks: relax tests on cleanup Some find(1) implementations have problems operating recursively on directories having subdirectories with null permissions, even when the permissions of such subdirectory should be fixed by find before it descends into them; for example, with this setup: % mkdir a a/b % chmod 000 a/b a command like this: % find a -type d ! -perm -700 -exec chmod u+rwx '{}' ';' fails with this diagnostic on MacOS X 10.7: find: a/b: Permission denied and with this diagnostic on Solaris 10: find: cannot read dir a/b: Permission denied The problem is that our self checks were simply demanding too much from our cleanup trap: our tests never use subdirectories with null permissions, so it doesn't matter if the cleanup trap fails to handle those. Just relax the self checks to avoid such useless testsuite noise. * tests/self-check-cleanup.tap: Only try directories missing write permissions, not with null permission. That should be enough for our usages. | |

|
8be5d254 | 2012-03-01 09:30:45 | scripts: recognize the "q", "s" and "S" actions/modifiers in ar-lib * lib/ar-lib: Implement the "q" (quick) action as a synonym for "r" (replace). Ignore "s" (symbol index) and "S" (no symbol index) when used as modifiers and "s" when used as a command, there is simply no way for Microsoft lib to not update the symbol table index in the archive. (scriptversion): Update. * tests/ar-lib.test: Check the added behavior. Also add checks for the recently added "u" (update) and "v" (verbose) modifiers. | |
|
9df2e72d | 2012-03-02 11:49:18 | Merge branch 'fix-vala-test' * fix-vala-test: tests: fix (harmless) botched merge | |
|
1da044d6 | 2012-03-02 11:48:41 | tests: fix (harmless) botched merge Commit v1.11-1750-g9928ea5 of 2012-01-16 (Merge branch 'maint') reordered the macro calls so that AM_PROG_AR ended up after AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, which is not allowed. This error went by undetected since AC_PROG_LIBTOOL was redefined, but that also removed the ordering requirement making the error benign. * tests/vala.test: Put AM_PROG_AR before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. | |
|

|
525f16c3 | 2012-02-29 20:21:30 | tests: do not try to use ar(1) when $AR points to something else * tests/libobj10.test: Move the archive listing commands to the Makefile, so that $AR - as determined by configure - can be used. * tests/libobj17.test: Likewise. | |
|
8bbb1486 | 2012-02-29 20:20:17 | tests: make tests behave for the AR=lib case These below tests were left mostly as-is when AM_PROG_AR was introduced (with libobj16b being the exception, that test was forgotten or has regressed since), in a misguided attempt to not make them diverge from the original problem reports. Modernize them so that they do not FAIL when $AR is Microsoft 'lib'. * tests/libobj16b.test: Add AM_PROG_AR to configure.ac and remove the no-longer-needed -Wno-extra-portability option when invoking automake. * tests/pr300-lib.test: Likewise. * tests/pr300-ltlib.test: Likewise. * tests/pr307.test: Likewise. * tests/pr401.test: Likewise. Also fetch the 'ar-lib' script. * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise. * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise. | |

 |
7828edbe | 2012-02-28 13:49:22 | tests: fix spurious failure with Portland Compilers * tests/silent-many-generic.test (configure.ac): Be more careful in the workaround to avoid spurious failures with C++ compilers containing the string "CC" in their names; this avoids spurious failures with at least the Sun Studio C++ compiler (when named "sunCC") and the Portland Group C++ Compiler ("pgCC"). Also handle arguments with whitespace correctly in the 'am--cxx' temporary wrapper. * THANKS: Update. Co-authored-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes | |
|
e36f246a | 2012-02-28 20:07:34 | tests: fix spurious failure when dependency tracking is unavailable Report by Dave Goodell. See automake bug#8880. * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild.test: Run the sanity check that aims at ensuring we really cover the expected code paths in a new build directory, to avoid spurious failures when automatic dependency tracking is disabled. | |
|
51f61dfb | 2012-02-27 21:48:03 | vala: fix 'valac' calls for projects with mixed Vala/C Fixes automake bug#10894. * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Strip non-vala files from the dependencies of vala stamps, and from the invocation of valac compiler. Related refactorings. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 'vala-mix2.test'. | |
|
7d335efe | 2012-02-27 21:16:22 | vala: expose automake bug#10894 * tests/vala-mix2.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise. * THANKS: Update. | |

29158391 | 2012-02-27 09:28:47 | coverage: --program-transform shouldn't transform too much Stemmed from a report by Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-02/msg00025.html> * tests/transform3.test: New test, checking that --program-transform does not transform too much stuff (in particular, pkglibexecdir, pgklibdir and pkgdatadir). * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * THANKS: Update. | |
|
bb061d33 | 2012-02-26 13:31:00 | tests: avoid spurious failure (line too long in awk) * tests/parallel-tests-many.test: Use perl, not awk, to write the Makefile.am with (deliberately) overly long TESTS content, as some inferior awk implementations (e.g., Solaris 10 /usr/bin/awk) are unable to handle the long lines used there and die with errors like: "awk: string too long near line 5". | |
|
68f47e9a | 2012-02-26 13:10:19 | tests: avoid spurious failures when awk is "traditional awk" * tests/Makefile.am (do_subst): Also substitute '@AWK@'. * tests/defs-static.in ($AWK): New, user-overridable and defaulting to the substituted '@AWK@'. * tests/defs (fetch_tap_driver): When the shell+awk implementation of the TAP driver is required, export AM_TAP_AWK to point to a properly capable awk, since the default awk might be a "traditional" implementation, which won't be enough for our driver. This is the right fix, since a proper setting of AM_TAP_AWK in the driver's environment is expected (and documented to be required) in real world uses of 'tap-driver.sh'. | |
|
e55116a5 | 2012-02-26 11:22:32 | tests: avoid many spurious failures for shells with busted 'set -e' Some versions of the BSD Korn shell wrongly bail out when the 'errexit' shell flag is active and the left-hand command in a "&&" list fails and that list is the *last* command of an entry in a "case" statement. * tests/defs (gcc, g++, gcj): Work around that. | |
|
b51a9afe | 2012-02-22 10:12:02 | aclocal: don't create /usr/share/aclocal as empty Related to automake bug#10791. Since automake 1.11.2, aclocal no longer succeeds if the system acdir '${datadir}/aclocal' (i.e., "/usr/share/aclocal" when ${prefix} is "/usr") does not exist. So we now have a directory *installed empty by default*, but whose existence is required by aclocal in order for it to function at all. This might be confusing, and sounds like asking for trouble in the long term. So we now also install a simple README file in that directory, which briefly explains its purpose and warn that its existence is required by the normal aclocal functioning. * m4/acdir/README: New file. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_system_ac_DATA): Add it. * m4/acdir/.placeholder: Delete, no more needed. * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it. * THANKS: Update. | |
|
3b5f6115 | 2012-02-25 22:01:17 | hacking: document format for git commit messages * HACKING (Writing a good commit message): New section. (Working with git): A related minor adjustment. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | |
|
c99835be | 2012-02-25 14:38:22 | docs: improve 'dist-hook' documentation * doc/automake.texi (The dist Hook): Explicitly document the fact that the dist-hook should account for the case where the source tree is read-only, mostly for the benefit of distcheck. Since we are at it, do some minor unrelated rewordings, and remove obsolescent advice. Motivated by the discussion on automake bug#10878. * tests/disthook.test: New test. * tests/disthook-perms.test: Delete as obsolete. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust. | |
|
040cf125 | 2012-02-25 11:11:33 | docs: improve "make distcheck" documentation * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): The fact that "make distcheck" uses a read-only srcdir wasn't documented clearly enough here. Fix that. Since we are at it, be more explicit about the steps undertaken by "make distcheck", and re-organize this section a bit. Motivated by the discussion on automake bug#10878. (distcleancheck): Rename this node (in the "FAQ" section) ... (Errors with distclean): ... to this. Add a proper "FIXME" comment. | |
|
c5a3d70d | 2012-02-25 09:43:51 | cosmetics: proper capitalization and full stops in 'm4/depend.m4' | |
|
1e839f9a | 2012-02-24 18:34:04 | coverage: dist-hook and distcheck-hook can modify file permission See automake bug#10878. * tests/dist-hook-perms.test: New test, checking that the user can use the 'dist-hook' target to modify permissions of distributed files before putting them in the distribution tarball. * tests/distcheck-writable-srcdir.test: New test, checking that the user can use 'distcheck-hook' to ensure his packages is built by "make distcheck" with a writable srcdir. This goes against the GNU Coding Standards, but some package authors might not care about them too much, and it's nice to support their use case too. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add them. | |
 |
06b90179 | 2012-02-25 12:37:25 | tests: avoid spurious failure when gcj is not installed Since yesterday's commit, v1.11-2019-g4d2bf42, the gcj4 test would fail when gcj is not installed. * tests/defs-static.in (GNU_GCJ, GNU_GCJFLAGS): Define. * tests/Makefile.am (do_subust): Add those to the list of substituted symbols. | |
|
4d2bf42f | 2012-02-24 15:22:25 | tests: look for GNU Java compiler at configure time Do this for consistency with what is done with other compilers. * configure.ac: Look for GNU java compiler at configure time. * tests/defs (gcj): Adjust and simplify. ($am__tool_prefix): Remove definition, it's not used anymore. | |
|
00eb4ac9 | 2012-02-24 14:35:06 | refactor: in Automake::Options (no semantic change) * lib/Automake/Options.pm: Prefer leading spaces to leading tabs throughout. Minor whitespace and comment changes. (_process_option_list): Simple refactoring to make the code more pleasant to read and easier to modify in the future. This refactoring also reduces code duplication, with the help of ... (_option_must_be_from_configure, _is_valid_easy_option): ... these new internal subroutines. * tests/tar3.test: Enhance. * tests/silent-amopts.test: New, checks that automake complains if the 'silent-rules' option is used in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. | |
|
1eaed7c1 | 2012-02-24 13:27:53 | cosmetics: typofixes and whitespace changes * configure.ac: Fix a typo in comments. * aclocal.in: Get rid of latest form-feed (^L) usages. * automake.in: Likewise. | |
|
5d9d10e0 | 2012-02-22 22:39:03 | tests: looks for GNU compilers at configure time This way, if the generic C compiler determined configure time is recognized to be the GNU C compiler, we can reuse it instead of looking for a compiler named "gcc" (over and over again) in the test scripts requiring the GNU C compiler. Ditto for the C++, Fortran, and Fortran 77 compilers. This change will improve coverage by allowing us to more easily use non-default GNU compilers throughout the testsuite. And as a bonus, this change also removes a weakness from our testsuite that could cause spurious failures when flags passed to the generic compilers were erroneously reused for the GNU compilers; see automake bug#10859. * configure.ac: Look for the GNU compilers explicitly. Improve some configure output and diagnostic since we are at it. * tests/defs-static.in ($GNU_CC, $GNU_CXX, $GNU_FC, $GNU_F77): Initialize with the values determined at configure time (while allowing user overrides). * tests/Makefile.am (do_edit): Also substitute the configure-time values of GNU_CC, GNU_CXX, GNU_FC and GNU_F77. * tests/defs (gcc, g++, gfortran, g77): Use the values for the GNU compilers determined at configure time (i.e., $GNU_CC for the GNU C compiler, and so on). | |
|
e99690aa | 2012-02-23 23:56:38 | docs, news: document planned removal of obsolete macros and features * NEWS (Future backward-incompatibilities): Document planned removal of several superseded and/or obsoleted macros, of the $(mkdir_p) variable and @mkdir_p@ substitution, and of the support for the two- or three-arguments invocation forms of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. * doc/automake.texi: Likewise. | |
|
f6fde80d | 2012-02-24 00:00:35 | docs: remove reference to lzma support, it has been removed Support for lzma compression in distribution tarball has been removed in commit 'v1.11-1674-g02e9072' of 01-01-2012, "dist: remove support for lzma (superseded by xz and lzip)", but was still documented in the manual. * doc/automake.texi: Remove references to the 'dist-lzma' option and to the lzma compression support. | |
|
f28d4890 | 2012-02-23 23:34:08 | cosmetics: fixlet in comment in automake * automake.in ($configure_dist_common): In the associated comment, refer to scanning of 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'. | |
|
4a38f180 | 2012-02-23 22:47:42 | maint: assume 'test -x' is portable * lib/Makefile.am (installcheck-local): To verify that the installed scripts are actually executable, simply use 'test -x', instead of resorting to perl and its '-x' file operator. Today, 'test -x' should today be portable to any non-museum system. Since we are at it, improve diagnostic in case of failure. | |
|
94259756 | 2012-02-23 22:36:49 | deptrack: avoid few forks in configure (minor optimization) * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Use 'echo > file' instead of 'touch file' to ensure the creation of a dummy file. Adjust the comment that explains why we can't simply use ': > file': the problem this latter idiom tickles is present also with Solaris 10 /bin/sh, not merely with Solaris 8 /bin/sh. | |
|
c4f2b64c | 2012-02-23 22:06:14 | maintcheck: remove an obsolete check * syntax-checks.mk (sc_perl_local_no_parens): Remove, we don't even allow the use of local but for the '$_' and '$~' special variables. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. | |
|
8153d196 | 2012-02-23 22:00:49 | news: update w.r.t. change in quoting format * NEWS (New in 1.11.1a): State that we prefer to quote 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this', as according to the new GCS recommendations. | |
|
da69976c | 2012-02-23 20:50:41 | automake: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation * automake.in: Convert comments, diagnostic and help screen to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. * tests/stdlib2.test: Adjust. * tests/ltinstloc.test: Likewise. * tests/location.test: Likewise. * tests/libtool8.test: Likewise. * tests/ldadd.test: Likewise, and prefer trailing ':' over trailing 'Exit 0'. | |
|
d3a2a8d0 | 2012-02-23 20:41:10 | aclocal: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation * aclocal.in: Convert comments, diagnostic and help screen to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. | |
|
3e887a13 | 2012-02-23 20:25:26 | pm: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation This patch converts the internal perl modules used by automake and aclocal to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm, lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm, lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/General.pm, lib/Automake/Item.pm, lib/Automake/Rule.pm, lib/Automake/Getopt.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm, lib/Automake/Struct.pm, lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/Version.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Update and adjust quoting format throughout, in comments and diagnostic.

2dfeef41 | 2012-02-22 14:27:17 | spy: "rm -f" and "rm -rf" without args are portable According to recent testing by Eric Blake, it seems that all non-museum rm(1) implementations don't complain if called without file operands, *if* the '-f' option is used. This behaviour will likely be mandated by future versions of the POSIX standard as well. We'd like to start assuming this rm(1) behaviour in future Automake releases, in order to simplify some automake-provided cleanup rules. So, for the moment, we add a new "spy" test in our test suite, to try ensuring that all the rm(1) implementation we encounter "in the wild" truly behaves as expected in this regard. For more references, see this discussion on the bug-autoconf list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2012-02/msg00002.html> which sprang from coreutils bug#10819: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10819> and brought to the POSIX issue#542: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=542> which has been accepted and will ensure that future version of the POSIX standards will mandate that 'rm' shouldn't complain if called without file operands, when the '-f' option is in use. * tests/spy-rm.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. | |

db973eaa | 2012-02-21 19:47:36 | tests: prefer 'configure.ac' over 'configure.in' With this change, our testsuite now uses 'configure.ac' as the name for the typical autoconf input, instead of the obsolescent 'configure.in' (which has been deprecated for several years, at least since autoconf 2.50). Most of the test cases changed by this commit have been automatically modified with this sed command (using GNU sed): sed -i 's/\<configure\(\\\?\)\.in\>/configure\1.ac/g' * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_no_configure_in): New syntax check. (syntax_check_rules): Add it. * tests/defs: Create stub for autoconf input in 'configure.ac', not in 'configure.in'. Adjust comments. ($AUTOCONF, $AUTOHEADER, $AUTORECONF): Remove workaround for the infamous debian autoconf wrapper: we don't need such workaround anymore now that we name our autoconf input as 'configure.ac'. For more information, see commit v1.11-564-g63da492 "test defs: hack to support autoconf-wrapper programs" of 16-12-2011. * tests/README: Use 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'. * Many many tests: Likewise. * tests/backcompat3.test: Adjust to avoid spurious failures. * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise. * tests/missing6.test: Likewise. * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise, and extend a bit since we are at it. | |

Suggestion by Bob Friesenhahn. * tests/parallel-tests-many.test: New test. We have verified that it actually exposes the bug#7868, as it passes when we opportunely reduce the number of test cases in $(TESTS). Checked on NetBSD 5.1 64bit, Debian unstable 32bit, Solaris 10 64bit and Cygwin 1.5 32bit. * tests/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise. | |

In fact, such a manual recursion was causing the testsuite to be run twice by "make installcheck". | |

deb77738 | 2012-02-20 18:33:50 | automake: new option 'serial-tests' Currently, automake offers a 'parallel-tests' option to enable the use of the parallel testsuite harness in the generated Makefiles, but no option to explicitly state the intention of using the older serial testsuite driver (which is currently the default). This makes the parallel test harness seems like a second-class citizen (while actually it should be the other way around); more importantly, it will prevent us from making the parallel harness be the default one in future automake versions, since the users of the serial harness would then have no way to instruct automake to continue using it. We solve all of this by introducing a new 'serial-tests' option. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Recognize the new option, and related minor refactoring. * tests/serial-tests.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * doc/automake.texi: Update. * NEWS: Likewise. | |

101216ca | 2012-02-19 18:43:28 | automake: new option to print location of scripts and data files With this change, we add a new automake option '--print-libdir' that prints (on stdout) the path of the directory containing the Automake-provided scripts (e.g., 'missing' and 'install-sh') and data files (e.g., INSTALL or texinfo.tex). Suggestion by Nick Bowler. See also automake bug#10473. * automake.in (parse_arguments): Handle the new option.

72cae0a5 | 2012-02-19 14:53:53 | tests: be stricter in determining whether "make -jN" works * tests/parallel-tests3.test: With at least Solaris 10 CCS make, "make -jN" does not fail, but merely prints a warning about "DistributedMake -j option" being ignored. This was causing this test case to fail spuriously. So we now use a stricter check in determining whether make works in parallel mode. Since we are at it, we try to cater also to Sun Distributed make, which understands "-j N" but *not* "-jN". | |

e1606b32 | 2012-02-18 13:59:26 | parallel-tests: fix another BSD parallel make issue When BSD make is run in parallel mode, it apparently strips any leading directory component from the automatic variable '$*' (of course, against what POSIX mandates). This was causing FreeBSD 9.0 make and NetBSD 5.1 make to spuriously fail with automake-generated test harnesses if subdir tests were present *and* make was being run in parallel mode. This issue affected also the Automake own testsuite. * lib/am/check2.am (am__set_b): New internal variable. (%OBJ%, %EXT%.log, %EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): Use it to work around the described BSD make issue. * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Enhanced to expose the bug. * tests/parallel-tests-subdir.test: Enhance a little, since we are at it. * NEWS: Update. | |

21af8bfd | 2012-02-18 09:47:57 | tests: avoid FreeBSD make VPATH issues in more tests (see bug#7884) See also similar change 'v1.11-755-g818bc40' of 07-02-2012, "tests: work around bug#7884 in many yacc/lex tests". The rationale for this change is basically the same. * tests/lex-lib-external.test: Use "yl_distcheck" instead of bare "$MAKE distcheck" to avoid extra failures caused by automake bug#7884. * tests/lex-noyywrap.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-libobj.test: Likewise. * tests/man6.test: This test suffers from the same FreeBSD make incompatibility in VPATH handling that is the source of automake bug#7884. Since this is caused by rules that are defined in the Makefile.am by the test itself, rather that being generated by automake, the best thing to do is to skip this test if we detect the presence of said make incompatibility (through the function 'useless_vpath_rebuild'). * tests/man8.test: Likewise. | |

a98e58ff | 2012-02-17 15:20:03 | tests: fix many spurious failures in VPATH builds The 'is' helper script, used by some test cases since commit 'v1.11-1830-g96401cb' of 08-02-2012, "tests: better way to compare lists in Makefile rules", is not available in VPATH builds, since it resides in $(srcdir), nor in $(builddir), and only $(builddir) is added to $PATH in the test script. This was causing spurious failures. Solve this issue by re-organizing a bit the layout and placing of wrapper and help scripts used by the testsuite. This reorganization is by no mean complete, but should be enough to solve the VPATH issues. * tests/is: Moved ... * tests/ax/is: ... here * tests/automake.in: Moved ... * tests/wrap/automake.in: ... here. * tests/aclocal.in: Moved ... * tests/wrap/aclocal.in: ... here. * tests/defs-static.in ($am_bindir, $PATH): Adjust. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST, check_SCRIPTS): Likewise. * tests/get-sysconf.test: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise. | |

44737ebc | 2012-02-17 13:46:53 | tests: relax a test to cater to NetBSD make * tests/parallel-tests-empty-testlogs.test: When $(TESTS) is empty, NetBSD 5.1 make ends up defining $(TESTS_LOGS) to ".log" rather than to the empty string (as would be expected). This behaviour was causing a check in this test case to fail. But that check was in fact overly strict, since our recipes are smart enough to work around the botched-up substitution. Also, the failure wasn't a regression from Automake 1.11, since that version too would have triggered the same error with NetBSD 5.1 make. So we just relax the test a little to avoid extra noise in the testsuite. | |

622a348e | 2012-02-17 13:14:57 | tests: TAP-based tests should error if no plan was specified After this change, it will still be OK for TAP-based tests not to report any explicit TAP plan -- but they should state *explicitly* that they want to do so, by calling the 'plan_' function with a proper argument (currently, either "later" or "unknonwn"). Motivated by a recent issue introduced by yesterday's commit 'v1.11-1959-g0699a84' (pointed out by Peter Rosin, and fixed by follow-up commit 'v1.11-1961-gea44190'). * tests/tap-functions.sh (plan_): Get rid of '$have_tap_plan_', and refactor use and initialization of '$planned_' in a way that will allow client script to get more information on which kind of plan (if any) has been declared by the former 'plan_' invocation. (skip_all_): Adjust. * tests/defs (exit trap): Only print the "lazy" TAP plan if 'plan_' has requested that *explicitly*. * syntax-check.mk (sc_tests_tap_plan): Remove: it's obsolete now, since a TAP-based test that doesn't call 'plan_' explicitly won't print any TAP plan, and the TAP driver will catch that and report an error. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. | |
