5f335bed | 2010-11-13 12:21:28 | 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 been "decommissioned". Consequently, the automake-provided macro AM_WITH_REGEX is not used nor required anymore. Deprecate it, so that it will be possible to safely remove it in the next major automake version. * m4/regex.m4 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Give a warning of the class `obsolete' when this macro is used. * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of `AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ... (Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete and "to be removed in a future version". * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS: Update.

e9150626 | 2011-12-08 22:54:18 | 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. * aclocal.m4: Delete. * configure: Likewise. * Makefile.in: Likewise. * doc/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/Makefile.in: Likewise. * lib/am/Makefile.in: Likewise. * m4/Makefile.in: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.in: Likewise. * .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). | |

c8e01d58 | 2011-12-09 23:17:18 | 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, dist-all) [?XZ?]: Likewise (dist-bzip2): Similarly, do not hard-code -9, but do continue to use -9 by default. Honor the BZIP2 envvar. (dist, dist-all) [?BZIP2?]: Likewise * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the newly enabled environment variables. This is inspired to commit v1.11-389-g6da46f3, with additional changes to reflect that the xz compression level should default to -e, not -9. | |

1ec16686 | 2011-10-23 13:19:21 | 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 exporting 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 the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'. * tests/install-info-dir.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted interferences from the environment. * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Update. * NEWS: Likewise. * THANKS: Likewise.

326ecba2 | 2011-09-30 12:12:43 | 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. * tests/distcom-subdir.test: New test. * tests/dist-readonly.test: Likewise. * tests/dist-repeated.test: Likewise. * tests/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.test: Likewise. * tests/distcom7.test: Removed, it's obsolete now. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update. | |

(defs-static): Generate it at make time, not at configure time, in order to correctly resolve all the indirections in the AC_SUBST'd variables; done with the help of ... (do_subst): ... this new macro. (EXTRA_DIST): Explicitly distribute `defs-static.in'. (CLEANFILES): Remove `defs-static'. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs-static'. (AC_SUBST): Substitute also `automake_acdir', `system_acdir', `scriptdir' and `amdir' to proper values. * lib/Makefile.am (scriptdir): Don't explicitly define anymore. * lib/am/Makefile.am (amdir): Likewise. * m4/acdir/dirlist: Remove, it's not needed anymore. Instead use ... * m4/acdir/.placeholder: ... this file. * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update.

|
30f99cbd | 2011-09-05 17:37:44 | 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. * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update. (m4datadir): Rename ... (automake_acdir): ... to this. Accordingly, ... (dist_m4data_DATA): ... rename this ... (dist_automake_ac_DATA): ... to this. (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. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new tests. * NEWS, bootstrap: Update. * doc/automake.texi (aclocal Options, Macro Search Path): Update. | |

199b9086 | 2011-09-01 11:02:04 | 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 generated Makefile.in, so that it could avoid to emit unneeded code when this was not the case. Re-introduce such code in a less-obfuscated form, and add a test to ensure we don't regress again. * automake.in ($must_handle_compiled_objects): New global variable, telling whether the generated Makefile has to build compiled objects. (initialize_per_input): Reset it. (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Set it to a true value when required. (handle_compile): Don't generate any code if the variable `$must_handle_compiled_objects' is not set to a true value. * tests/no-extra-makefile-code.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. | |

|
51f413e9 | 2011-08-17 14:59:19 | 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. * tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_DRIVER): Likewise. * tests/tap-doc2.test: Likewise. * lib/tap-driver.sh: New script, still mostly dummy. * lib/Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Update, and since we are at it, rewrite it to make it easier to add new entries in the future. | |

|
fe1b11eb | 2011-08-09 16:43:08 | 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. | |

|
c7fa8726 | 2011-08-06 21:41:37 | 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. | |

|
ccf385b9 | 2011-08-05 19:08:16 | 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. (Incompatibilities with other TAP parsers and drivers): Report it as a potential source of incompatibility. * lib/tap-driver ($diag_string): New global variable, defaulting to "#", and whose value can be changed ... (Getopt::Long::GetOptions): ... by the newly recognized option `--diagnostic-string'. (handle_tap_comment): Subroutine removed, some of its simple logic inlined ... (main): ... in here, where now ... (extract_tap_comment): ... this new subroutine is used. ($USAGE): Adjust. * tests/tap-diagnostic.test: Make one check slightly stricter. * tests/tap-diag-custom.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (tap_other_tests): Add it. | |

bc5ba174 | 2011-08-05 10:17:01 | docs: some fixlets in documentation on testsuites support * doc/automake.texi (Script-based Testsuites): Rename node ... (Scripts-based Testsuites): ... to this. Break overly long lines in an example (were causing problems with PDF output). (Parallel Test Harness): Don't intend paragraphs that come after examples or bulleted list. (Overview of Custom Test Drivers Support): Fix typo s/the the/the/. (Declaring Custom Test Drivers): When giving an aside, prefer comma to parentheses, as it disrupts the reading flow less. (API for Custom Test Drivers): Remove a sentence that was basically duplicated from the previous subsection. (Command-line arguments for test drivers): Don't intend paragraph coming after an itemized list. Clarify wording and fix grammaros. Add a couple of cross-references to earlier explanations of `.log' and `.trs' files. (Links and external resources): Node renamed ... (Links and external resources on TAP): ... to this, for clarity. Slightly extend and clarify introductory sentence. | |

(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. * doc/automake.texi (Log files generation and test results recording): Document the new metadata. * tests/check12.test: Update. * tests/parallel-tests-harderror.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-interrupt.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-2.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable.test: Likewise. * tests/tap-global-result.test: Likewise. * tests/test-metadata-results.test: Likewise. * tests/test-log.test: Likewise, and another minor unrelated fix. * tests/test-metadata-global-result.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. | |

0c81b43f | 2011-07-28 12:25:22 | 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).

4014b502 | 2011-07-26 14:51:20 | 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): Adjust comments and code. * lib/tap-driver (finish): Adjust, with the help of ...

61b2bb0d | 2011-06-29 16:02:52 | 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: $? ... PASS: check12-p.test ===================================== 4 of 5 tests failed See tests/test-suite.log Please report to bug-automake@gnu.org ===================================== make[2]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1 make: *** [check-am] Error 2 exit: 2 This change introduces a new special `:test-result:' "END", that, when seen, prevents the rest of the log file from being parsed. For more information, refer to the thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-06/msg00199.html> * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Stop the parsing of a log file as soon as the special ":test-result:END" directive is seen.
