	16fa11bf	2023-03-29T11:48:02	Port 'make check' to platforms lacking libtool * t/get-sysconf.sh: Don’t fail if libtoolize is missing.
	6d6fc91c	2022-12-12T07:32:13	tests: depcomp: ensure make_ok() fails when run_make fails While running automake tests with -std-gnu=c99, the compiler report errors which lead to make to fail. Yet, these failures are ignored during the tests, which considers them to be successful as stderror is check for one specific pattern. If make fails, investigation should be made to discover why, whatever the reason for the failure is. * t/ax/depcomp.sh: Make make_ok fail when make fails.
	c9479c29	2023-01-12T20:31:31	tests: rework gettext to only check 'external' behavior The gettext project deprecated non-external use back in 2010 with the 0.18 release, and made it fatal with the 0.20 release in 2019. With that version, calling AM_GNU_GETTEXT() fails, which means all Automake tests are now skipped. The t/gettext-macros.sh helper probes gettext as such: >+ autopoint --force > autopoint: * AM_GNU_GETTEXT without 'external' argument is no longer supported in version 0.21.1 > autopoint: * Stop. > ... >+ aclocal-1.16 -Werror -Wno-syntax -I m4 --install > aclocal-1.16: warnings are treated as errors > configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library > configure.ac:5: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION' not found in library >+ echo skip_all_ "couldn't find or get gettext macros" Since t/gettext-macros.sh generates a helper that all other gettext tests use to see if gettext is available, all they get skipped. Rework our existing tests to only check the 'external' gettext mode. This should work with older versions, and we don't really need to keep track of old non-external mode since it's been deprecated for so long. * t/gettext-basics.sh: Use external gettext mode, and adjust tests. * t/gettext-config-rpath.sh: Likewise. * t/gettext-macros.sh: Likewise. * t/gettext-pr381.sh: Likewise. * t/subdir-cond-gettext.sh: Likewise.
	9067b181	2023-01-13T00:09:06	tests: disable git log pager usage When running this code locally, the git log call can trigger a pager depending on the local settings, which in turn forces the test to be interactive. Run git with --no-pager to force disable it. * t/get-sysconf.sh: Run git with --no-pager.
	34c5008d	2023-01-03T22:38:22	tests: change `sort\|uniq` to `sort -u` These are equivalent, but more performant. We already use `sort -u` elsewhere in the codebase, so nothing new here really. * t/add-missing.tap: Change `sort\|uniq` to `sort -u`. * t/CheckListOfTests.am: Likewise.
	2a9908da	2022-12-12T08:05:53	tests: Fix 'type defaults' error in link_cond due to main not being properly declared This is related to an effort to prepare Automake for future GCC/Clang versions which set c99 as default standard to be used. Not properly declaring main as "int main(...)" is rejected since c99. * t/link_cond.sh: Add (void) to main definition.
	34bdde96	2023-01-04T02:00:14	maint: make update-copyright
	ed1368e8	2022-12-12T14:50:33	test: avoid apostrophe in test document. From automake patch https://bugs.gnu.org/59989 (though a different solution), suggestion by Frederic Berat. * t/txinfo-include.sh: avoid apostrophes in test document, since Texinfo 7.0 turns them into UTF-8 by default.
	7ae28351	2022-10-01T18:23:39	distcheck: more .NOTPARALLEL. * t/backcompat.sh: add .NOTPARALLEL. * t/subdir-add2-pr46.sh: likewise. (Maybe the problem is more general?)
	92fcf10f	2022-10-01T14:59:51	maintcheck: placate maintainer-check and grep 3.8. * maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (sc_rm_minus_f): no \ before - (diagnosed by grep 3.8). * t/comment12.sh: use $(...) instead of `...`. * t/comments-escaped-in-var.sh: use AUTOMAKE_fails and grep for expected warning message. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add t/py-compile-files.sh. * t/subdir-add2-pr46.sh (.NOTPARALLEL): add; showed up with parallelized internal make. Seems unreproducible.
	ff230b29	2022-02-24T22:25:45	automake: fall back gracefully when texinfo inputs don't exist Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/54063. The function scanning for @setfilename will fall back to a default value if the input doesn't have one defined. But we need to handle the case where the file doesn't even exist before falling back. * bin/automake.in: Scan /dev/null for @setfilename if input doesn't exist. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add txinfo-no-setfilename-no-inputs.sh. * t/txinfo-no-setfilename-no-inputs.sh: New test.
	d747a66a	2022-02-20T19:06:55	m4: rework silent-rules macros to avoid double expansion Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/32868. The AM_SILENT_RULES macro defines all the silent-rules related setup. It's also called by users to change the default verbosity level. This leads to a quirk where automake calls it, expands the full context, and then users call it, and it's fully expanded again. Instead, let's rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES and move the initialization logic to late in the configure stage. This allows the user-centric AM_SILENT_RULES call to expand into a single line to set the default verbosity. * m4/init.m4: Switch to _AM_SILENT_RULES. * m4/silent.m4: Rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES. Delay evaluation of AM_SILENT_RULES to the end. Define new AM_SILENT_RULES to set default rules verbosity. * t/silent-defaults.sh: New tests. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add t/silent-defaults.sh.
	a61eaf68	2022-02-24T00:52:08	tests: make silent-custom regex a little more robust Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/32800. Have the regex match the entire path with word boundaries on both sides. This should reduce false positives when the full cwd happens to match parent directories. * t/silent-custom.sh: Update the header output regex.
	c62e7230	2022-02-20T23:30:39	automake: allow required files to be in subdirs Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/20300. The internal method for caching path lookups expects the $filename to only be a filename. If it's actually a subdir/file itself, then the cache logic gets confused, and it never matches. This manifests as AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE([subdir/file]) claiming that the subdir/file path doesn't exist even when it does. Before we process any required files, since we already construct the full path locally, reset the dir & file inputs to the final values. * bin/automake.in: Split dir & file name back out from the constructed required file path. * t/auxdir-subsubdir.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add t/auxdir-subsubdir.sh.
	13ae585a	2022-02-20T14:28:11	tests: fix yacc C++ tests with some C++ compilers Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/20031. The C++ standard does not require symbols be placed into the global namespace, just in the std namespace. The GNU implementation will place symbols in both. For our specific code, we don't care either. Unfortunately, it looks like generated flex code assumes that some stdlib.h symbols (free, malloc, exit) are in the global namespace, even when compiling for C++. So when we include <cstdlib> but not <stdlib.h>, we might not get the symbols in the global namespace. We can workaround this by including stdlib.h in these tests without invalidating the point of the tests in general. * t/yacc-cxx.sh: Include stdlib.h. * t/yacc-d-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-mix-c-cxx.sh: Likewise.
	2cd42b7c	2022-02-20T13:56:24	tests: log autoconf & libtool version Having these in the sysconf log can be helpful when triaging test failures from users. * t/get-sysconf.sh: Log autoconf & libtoolize version.
	8abf0894	2022-02-20T13:28:48	automake: support embedded \# in variable appends Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/7610. Use of \# is not portable. POSIX does not provide any way of retaining the # marker in variables. There is wide spread support for \# though in GNU & BSD Make implementations. Today, with plain variable assignments, Automake leaves the line alone: foo = blah\#blah This will leave it to the implementation to decide what to do. But if you try to append to it, Automake follows POSIX and strips it: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> foo = blah\ what Instead, let's issue a portability warning whenever \# is used, even if it isn't being appended, and do not strip the \# when appending. Now: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> warning: escaping \# comment markers is not portable -> foo = blah\#blah what * NEWS: Mention change in \# handling. * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: Do not strip # if escaped. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Warn if \# is used. * t/comment12.sh: New test. * t/comments-escaped-in-var.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add comment12.sh & comments-escaped-in-var.sh.
	3099097d	2022-02-17T03:50:55	rm: handle -f w/no arguments gracefully Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/10828. Delete the configure check that would abort if `rm -f` does not work, and delete the plans to make this a hard requirement in the future. Instead, test to see if `rm -f` fails w/out arguments. If it does, define am__rm_f such that it always passes at least the "" argument when deleting files. If it doesn't fail, then we can omit the "". Then go through lib/am/ and update places where we use the pattern `test -z ... \|\| rm -f ...` and replace with $(am__rm_f). * NEWS: Mention support for `rm -f` w/out arguments. * PLANS/rm-f-without-args.txt: Remove. * lib/am/check.am: Use new $(am__rm_f) helper. * lib/am/clean.am: Likewise. * lib/am/header-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/inst-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/libs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/ltlib.am: Likewise. * lib/am/progs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/texinfos.am: Likewise. * m4/init.m4: Delete `rm -f` checks and call _AM_PROG_RM_F. * m4/rmf.m4: Define new _AM_PROG_RM_F macro. * t/rm-f-probe.sh: Update test.
	79d03908	2018-01-19T16:30:32	tests: do not assume AM_MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS is used in non-html targets Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/30172. Since AM_MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS overrides AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS only for html targets, make sure we restore the hacked up makefile before testing the non-html formats. This normally doesn't cause a problem for most people, but if their tex install doesn't work correctly, texi2dvi will fallback to running $MAKEINFO and using invalid flags in the process. * THANKS: Add Mathieu Lirzin. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats.sh: Restore Makefile.am after testing html targets. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats-vpath.sh: Likewise.
	8b2d281d	2022-02-06T00:22:50	py-compile: drop support for Python 0.x & 1.x Python 2.0 was released in 2000. There's really no way for us to check those old versions, so let's just drop them. No one will miss them. * NEWS: Note Python version support removal. * lib/py-compile: Abort if major version 0 or 1 is found. * t/py-compile-env.sh: Rework slightly to handle new version probing.
	8a913c26	2022-02-05T23:43:38	py-compile: handle filenames with whitespace The list of files is put into a string and then split on whitespace. Fix the way the list of files are passed to the compile script. * lib/py-compile: Pass files as arguments, not as a string. * t/py-compile-files.sh: New test.
	faa1d2c5	2022-02-05T23:01:31	py-compile: clean up usage info Include the full summary of options in the output. * lib/py-compile: Update usage output. * t/py-compile-usage.sh: Update test to match new output.
	9daa34db	2022-01-24T03:08:13	texi: define new AM_TEXI2FLAGS variable To provide a bit more flexibility when invoking TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF, and provide a bit of symmetry with .info & .html generation, provide a AM_TEXI2FLAGS setting that is passed to all TEXI2xxx invocations. * doc/automake.texi: Mention new AM_TEXI2FLAGS setting. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Pass $(AM_TEXI2FLAGS) to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. * NEWS: Mention AM_TEXI2FLAGS. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats.sh: Check for AM_TEXI2FLAGS.
	c1b799a0	2022-01-24T02:53:13	texi: pass automatic -I to dvi & pdf generation Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/23599. When generating info/html pages, automake adds -I flags to source dirs that contain the texi files, but it doesn't do this for dvi or pdf formats. Instead, automake has been relying on texi2dvi to use makeinfo for expanding macros, and it hasn't done that by default in a long time. Since adding --expand to the texi2dvi call is undesirable (due to bad and unpredictable BEHAVIOR), pass those automatic -I flags directly to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF so they work regardless of --expand behavior. We have to keep the MAKEINFO= setting around as texi2dvi might itself fall back to it if the version of tex is old or broken. * bin/automake.in: Add comment about $makeinfoflags usage. * doc/automake.texi: Mention automatic -I subdir flags. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Pass %MAKEINFOFLAGS% to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. * t/txinfo-subdir-pr343.sh: Check for -I subdir usage.
	560216a4	2022-01-27T04:54:17	tests: remove spurious +x bits None of these files are (or can be) executed directly, so drop the spurious +x permission bit. None of the other tests do this either. * t/built-sources-install-exec.sh: Remove +x bit. * t/ccnoco-deps.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco-lib.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco-lt.sh: Likewise. * t/perf/cond.sh: Likewise. * t/perf/testsuite-recheck.sh: Likewise. * t/perf/testsuite-summary.sh: Likewise. * t/python-prefix.sh: Likewise. * t/tags-lisp-space.sh: Likewise. * t/test-extensions-empty.sh: Likewise.
	58d06e07	2022-01-19T03:31:07	tests: add coverage for nobase_ and dist_ prefixes From automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/14245. We have tests that check nobase_ and nodist_ interaction, but not nobase_ and dist_. We had a report against automake 1.12 that this combo did not work. It seems to work now, but lets include a test to make sure we don't regress. Based on Daiki Ueno's example, but fixed up to pass against master. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add t/nobase-dist.sh. * t/nobase-dist.sh: New test.
	975ea4d9	2022-01-19T05:14:47	progs, libs: support _RANLIB overrides Much like we have per-target support for _AR and _LINK, add an _RANLIB override too. This allows selection of specific ranlib tools in case a non-standard archiver tool was forced. * bin/automake.in: Check for _RANLIB per-target settings. * doc/automake.texi: Document _RANLIB override. * lib/am/library.am: Change $(RANLIB) to $(%XLIBRARY%_RANLIB). * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add ranlib_override.sh. * t/ranlib_override.sh: New test. * NEWS: Mention new feature.
	6d0dde1f	2022-01-19T05:11:17	tests: add _AR override coverage There were no tests for per-target _AR settings, so add some. * t/ar_override.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add ar_override.sh.
	cd995fe6	2022-01-24T01:02:41	tests: clear autotools env vars Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/16714. The testsuite will try and retain these env vars when recursively running itself, but doesn't distinguish between vars coming from the env where the tests were launched. This breaks if the user happens to `export ACLOCAL=alocal` before `make check`. This gets a little more confusing in that the Makefile appears to export these already: ACLOCAL = ".../automake/pre-inst-env" aclocal-1.16 In reality, while those are set in the make execution environment, they aren't exported into the process environment, so children (i.e. shell processes in make rules) don't have them set. That's why tests work for most people today. However, if the user has first exported "ACLOCAL" in the parent make environment (regardless of value), then make's value will reset the process environment, and then that will leak into the children. That's why we see errors that look like the makefile env vars are leaking for these people. At any rate, the fix is to update the test harness to clear these vars that the test suite relies upon, especially the ones that are also set in the Makefiles. That includes AUTOUPDATE even though it currently isn't used inside any of the tests. * t/local.mk: Add ACLOCAL, AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and AUTOUPDATE to the env unset list. * t/ax/runtest.in: Likewise.
	ec1a20a3	2022-01-24T00:57:30	tests: fix quoting in eval We need to escape the quotes so eval sees them when expanding the variable value, not when quoting the variable name itself. * t/local.mk: Escape quotes to eval.

Fixes automake bug https://debbugs.gnu.org/49317. * bin/automake.in: implement new option "no-dist-built-sources" to omit the dependency of distdir on $(BUILT_SOURCES).

	ed8daa06	2021-05-18T15:11:59	python: use Python's sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix for PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX; new configure options --with-python_prefix and --with-python_exec_prefix to set explicitly. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/35322. * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): use Python's sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix for PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX, instead of $prefix and $exec_prefix. But use a variable reference to ${prefix} if it is contained within sys.prefix; similarly for exec_prefix. Also support new configure options to set explicitly. (PYTHON_PREFIX, PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX): AC_SUBST these. (am_cv_python_pythondir): use our new $am_cv_python_prefix, substituting ${PYTHON_PREFIX}.

	ccb57553	2020-12-14T14:50:47	Fix some build and test failures with Autoconf 2.70. Autoconf 2.70 (released last week) makes a few changes that broke Automake’s expectations, mostly in the test suite. This patch addresses two of the problems: - autoconf now issues a warning if fed a configure script that doesn’t invoke both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT; this, plus a problem with system-provided tools (still under investigation) broke the build on macOS; it also causes a couple of spurious testsuite failures. - AC_PACKAGE_NAME and AC_PACKAGE_VERSION are now defined unconditionally. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE needs to use m4_ifset instead of m4_ifdef to diagnose the obsolete use of AC_INIT with fewer than two arguments. (This change is compatible with autoconf 2.69; m4_ifset is much older, and it means ‘defined with a non-empty value’.) * configure.ac: Use both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT in test configure scripts. * t/deprecated-acinit.sh, t/init.sh: Likewise. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use m4_ifset, not m4_ifdef, to detect AC_PACKAGE_NAME and/or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION not having a value.
	9f044de1	2020-12-09T15:02:19	tests: more .NOTPARALLEL tests. * t/java-compile-run-nested.sh: .NOTPARALLEL in subdirs too.
	87b29629	2020-12-08T15:01:00	tests: more .NOTPARALLEL tests. * contrib/t/multilib.sh: yet more .NOTPARALLEL for AM_TESTSUITE_MAKE, found by Jim on heavier machines. * t/autodist-stamp-vti.sh: likewise. * t/java-compile-run-nested.sh: likewise. * t/transform2.sh: likewise.
	95da1185	2020-12-07T15:53:01	tests: more .NOTPARALLEL tests. * contrib/t/multilib.sh: use .NOTPARALLEL to avoid unreproducible (and undebuggable, by me) test failures when running make -j$njobs AM_TESTSUITE_MAKE="make -j$njobs" for some arbitrary but rather large value of $njobs. The failures don't occur with just make -j; have to run the makes inside the tests in parallel also. * t/java-compile-install.sh: likewise. * t/java-compile-run-flat.sh: likewise. * t/java-uninstall.sh: likewise. * t/vala-headers.sh: likewise.
	e83520ff	2020-12-03T11:00:53	warnings: be less forceful about a missing subdir-objects option. This change somewhat ameliorates https://bugs.gnu.org/20699. * bin/automake.in (handle_single_transform): change forward-incompatibility message for subdir-objects to be less draconian and less certain that the change will ever be made. * t/subobj.sh: message text has changed. * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): mention the unfortunate fact that one directory can clean in a sibling, subdir-objects notwithstanding.
	b35822b5	2020-11-27T18:07:10	tests: .NOTPARALLEL test-driver-create-log-dir. * t/test-driver-create-log-dir.sh (.NOTPARALLEL): add target, since the two tests under sub/ seem to have a race condition. No evident way to debug or reliably reproduce. Reported by Jim.
	b28fead2	2020-11-16T09:50:04	tests: correct preceding change. * t/auxdir-pr19311.sh: Fix error in case stmt and match more upcoming versions.
	7cdef9f7	2020-11-16T09:34:23	tests: auxdir-pr19311.sh no longer fails with latest autoconf * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove from this list. * t/auxdir-pr19311.sh: Instead, run this test only when autoconf is 2.69d or newer. Otherwise, skip it.
	a919babf	2020-11-16T07:47:30	maint: placate maintainer-check's rm -f check * t/vala-recursive-setup.sh: Add an unnecessary -f option to an rm invocation to avoid "make maintainer-check" failure.
	17e6f26a	2020-11-15T21:14:24	tests: avoid missing .dvi failure with parallel tests * t/txinfo-no-clutter.sh: Tests of texinfo-related rules had overlap that made them fail often when some rules were run in parallel, so inhibit parallelism in that one directory. See discussion starting at https://lists.gnu.org/r/automake-patches/2020-11/msg00011.html
	26ef6e7f	2020-11-15T09:00:37	tests: protect against parallel false failure * t/parallel-tests-console-output.sh: Do not depend on the order of items in test summary. With a parallel test run, they may appear in a different order, e.g., when running tests like this: make check AM_TESTSUITE_MAKE='make -j14' Sort the expected output and the actual output before comparing.
	ba522c63	2020-11-15T08:12:40	doc: fix quoting in suggested parallel test invocation * t/README: Fix reversed single/double quotes.
	103cf704	2020-11-14T20:19:28	tests: accommodate an $ac_aux_dir of "." or "./" * t/auxdir-pr15981.sh: This test would fail when run with autoconf-2.69d because $ac_aux_dir would be "./" rather than the expected ".". Accept both.
	b495c128	2020-11-14T19:51:46	tests: avoid failures due to missing ar-lib * t/ar4.sh: Create dummy ar-lib, as done in other tests, to avoid failure like this: configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: ar-lib * t/ar5.sh: Likewise.
	db65189f	2020-11-12T17:49:31	install-sh: new option -S SUFFIX for simple file backups. * lib/install-sh: implement and document -S. Patch sent by Julien Elie: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2018-03/msg00004.html (scriptversion): 2020-11-13.01 * t/install-sh-option-S.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_tests): add it. * NEWS: mention it.
	9b7f0f9e	2020-11-10T17:58:41	vala: forgot to update lists-of-tests.mk. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_tests): include t/vala-libs-distcheck.sh and t/vala-libs-vpath.sh. Should have been committed with 2020-10-29 vala change, but somehow missed. 2020-11-10 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
	782ac400	2020-11-07T18:44:56	vala: improve support, especially builddir vs. srcdir. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/13002. * NEWS: mention these changes. * bin/automake.in: generated C files go in builddir, not srcdir. Distribute the header files generated from VAPI files. * t/vala-libs-distcheck.sh: new test for `make distcheck' of a Vala library. * t/vala-libs-vpath.sh: new test for a VPATH build of a Vala library. * t/vala-libs.sh: add local VAPIs used as external --package to test. * t/vala-recursive-setup.sh: we need to make maintainer-clean at one point to remove stamp files to avoid confusing a VPATH build performed after a non-VPATH build. * t/vala-non-recursive-setup.sh: likewise. * t/vala-parallel.sh: some test paths need changing to take into account that generated C files now go in builddir. * t/vala-per-target-flags.sh: likewise. * t/vala-recursive-setup.sh: likewise. * t/vala-vpath.sh: likewise.
	285c285c	2020-11-07T18:11:03	tests: recompute dependencies when lists-of-tests.mk changes. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44458 and updates https://bugs.gnu.org/11347. * t/local.mk ($(srcdir)/%D/testsuite-part.am): restore dependency on '%D/list-of-tests.mk' (i.e., t/list-of-tests.mk), partially reverting the change of 26 Apr 2012 for bug#11347. Otherwise, new tests that have dependencies will not cause an update of testsuite-part.am, leading to strange failures (bug#44458). The original problem being fixed in #11347 was unnecessary rebuilding when modifying tests; that should not be affected here, but when new tests are added, it seems reasonable, as well as necessary, to ensure dependencies are updated.
$Miro Hron\v{c}ok$	e21d46fd	2020-10-27T14:33:46	python: determine Python (3.10) version number correctly. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44239 (and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1889732). * m4/python.m4: use print('%u.%u' % sys.version_info[:2]) for the version number instead of merely sys.version[:3], so the numbers are treated as numbers. * t/python-vars.sh (PYTHON_VERSION): Likewise. * doc/automake.texi: Document it. * NEWS: mention it. (Minor tweaks from Karl Berry.)
	f832992d	2020-10-21T23:31:46	Improve Vala compiler detection: use API version, not compiler version * m4/vala.m4: check `valac --api-version', not `valac --version'. * doc/automake.texi: update documentation.
	9f83372b	2020-10-07T09:19:06	Use complete configure.ac’s in testsuite. Autoconf 2.70 will issue warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that doesn’t call both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT. Automake already issues warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that uses an AM_ macro but doesn’t call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE or AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]). In two places, the testsuite was tripping these warnings, leading to spurious failures with Autoconf 2.70 betas. * t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: Add AC_OUTPUT to test configure.ac. * t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Use a complete test configure.ac, not a stub containing only a use of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.
	dbc1c9e7	2020-10-06T18:16:14	automake: install-exec did not depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES). This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/43683. * lib/am/install.am (install-exec): %maybe_BUILT_SOURCES% dependency, twice. Basic patch from madmurphy (tiny change), message#8. (.MAKE) [maybe_BUILT_SOURCES]: depend on install-exec. * NEWS: mention it. * doc/automake.texi (Sources): mention this (also that make dist depends on $(BUILT_SOURCES)). * t/built-sources-install-exec.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): add it. * t/built-sources-install.sh: typo. * t/built-sources-check.sh: typo.
	626727a8	2020-09-12T09:51:07	t/python-virtualenv.sh: Skip when versions don’t match On some operating systems ‘python’ is Python 2.x but ‘virtualenv -ppython’ will create a virtualenv that uses Python 3.x. This is a bug, but it’s not automake’s bug, and should not cause t/python-virtualenv.sh to fail. Skip the test, instead of failing it, when the inner=outer version check fails. (This also has nothing to do with the main goal of this patchset, it just annoyed me while I was testing.) * t/python-virtualenv.sh: Skip test, rather than failing it, when $py_version_pre != $py_version_post.
	74a413ff	2020-09-05T18:12:48	automake: be robust against directories containing (). This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/14196. * m4/missing.m4 (AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN): always quote the invocation (not just if $am_aux_dir contains space or tab), in case $am_aux_dir contains () or other metachars not rejected by AM_SANITY_CHECK; quoting with '...' suggested by Jim Meyering. * t/man6.sh (HELP2MAN): adjust grep since missing value is quoted now. * t/am-missing-prog.sh: likewise.
	3bbcf683	2020-08-28T16:26:54	automake: if TEST_EXTENSIONS is set to empty, don't look inside it.

	74b9f0bb	2020-06-06T15:47:33	tests: support -fno-common in vala-mix2 test. This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/41726. * t/vala-mix2.sh: extern in .h, initialization in .c. GCC 10 defaults to -fno-common.
	216d1834	2020-06-06T15:42:54	automake: support AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER override. This change handles https://bugs.gnu.org/11745. * lib/am/check.am (AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER): new variable. Default value is " for $(PACKAGE_STRING)", including quotes, to keep the default output the same. ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): use it, unquoted. * doc/automake.texi (Scripts-based Testsuites): document it. * NEWS: mention it. * t/testsuite-summary-header.sh: new test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_tests): add it. * t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: fix typo.

Also, in this test only, allow for either 4 or 6 files resulting from compilation, as new-enough Python3 results in 6 (per Andreas Huettel, https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=32088#17) * t/py-compile-basic.sh: Remove all .pyo checks. * t/py-compile-destdir.sh: Likewise. * t/py-compile-option-terminate.sh: Likewise. * t/python-virtualenv.sh: Likewise. * t/python10.sh: Likewise. * t/python12.sh: Likewise. * t/python3.sh: Likewise.
	40415b21	2020-01-18T18:06:23	tests: use find+rm, not perl, to remove temporary directories. This change fixes automake bug#39078: https://debbugs.gnu.org/39078 * t/ax/test-lib.sh (rm_rf_): run chmod -R u+rwx and rm -rf, instead of calling our t/ax/deltree.pl script. This reverses the change of 2013-05-16. It made sense to write and use deltree at that point, but unfortunately as of perl-5.28.0 (File::Path.pm version 2.15), rmtree no longer removes a tree with unreadable subdirectories, such as we (intentionally) have. So we might as well go back to rm -rf. The unconditional recursive chmod instead of the previously-used more complex find command will hopefully prove portable. See the bug report for more details. Our deltree.pl is not used for anything else, but nevertheless leaving it in our source tree for now, for ease of reversion and comparison.
	01db7b0d	2020-01-08T18:21:26	tests: use skip_ consistently. * t/lisp-loadpath.sh: use skip_ instead of exit 77; also, notice and reset if the EMACS envvar is simply "t". * t/uninstall-fail.sh: use skip_ instead of the undefined skip.

tests: rework gettext to only check 'external' behavior The gettext project deprecated non-external use back in 2010 with the 0.18 release, and made it fatal with the 0.20 release in 2019. With that version, calling AM_GNU_GETTEXT() fails, which means all Automake tests are now skipped. The t/gettext-macros.sh helper probes gettext as such: >+ autopoint --force > autopoint: *** AM_GNU_GETTEXT without 'external' argument is no longer supported in version 0.21.1 > autopoint: *** Stop. > ... >+ aclocal-1.16 -Werror -Wno-syntax -I m4 --install > aclocal-1.16: warnings are treated as errors > configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library > configure.ac:5: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION' not found in library >+ echo skip_all_ "couldn't find or get gettext macros" Since t/gettext-macros.sh generates a helper that all other gettext tests use to see if gettext is available, all they get skipped. Rework our existing tests to only check the 'external' gettext mode. This should work with older versions, and we don't really need to keep track of old non-external mode since it's been deprecated for so long. * t/gettext-basics.sh: Use external gettext mode, and adjust tests. * t/gettext-config-rpath.sh: Likewise. * t/gettext-macros.sh: Likewise. * t/gettext-pr381.sh: Likewise. * t/subdir-cond-gettext.sh: Likewise.

m4: rework silent-rules macros to avoid double expansion Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/32868. The AM_SILENT_RULES macro defines all the silent-rules related setup. It's also called by users to change the default verbosity level. This leads to a quirk where automake calls it, expands the full context, and then users call it, and it's fully expanded again. Instead, let's rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES and move the initialization logic to late in the configure stage. This allows the user-centric AM_SILENT_RULES call to expand into a single line to set the default verbosity. * m4/init.m4: Switch to _AM_SILENT_RULES. * m4/silent.m4: Rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES.

automake: allow required files to be in subdirs Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/20300. The internal method for caching path lookups expects the $filename to only be a filename. If it's actually a subdir/file itself, then the cache logic gets confused, and it never matches. This manifests as AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE([subdir/file]) claiming that the subdir/file path doesn't exist even when it does. Before we process any required files, since we already construct the full path locally, reset the dir & file inputs to the final values. * bin/automake.in: Split dir & file name back out from the constructed required file path. * t/auxdir-subsubdir.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add t/auxdir-subsubdir.sh.

tests: fix yacc C++ tests with some C++ compilers Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/20031. The C++ standard does not require symbols be placed into the global namespace, just in the std namespace. The GNU implementation will place symbols in both. For our specific code, we don't care either. Unfortunately, it looks like generated flex code assumes that some stdlib.h symbols (free, malloc, exit) are in the global namespace, even when compiling for C++. So when we include <cstdlib> but not <stdlib.h>, we might not get the symbols in the global namespace. We can workaround this by including stdlib.h in these tests without invalidating the point of the tests in general. * t/yacc-cxx.sh: Include stdlib.h. * t/yacc-d-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-mix-c-cxx.sh: Likewise.

automake: support embedded \# in variable appends Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/7610. Use of \# is not portable. POSIX does not provide any way of retaining the # marker in variables. There is wide spread support for \# though in GNU & BSD Make implementations. Today, with plain variable assignments, Automake leaves the line alone: foo = blah\#blah This will leave it to the implementation to decide what to do. But if you try to append to it, Automake follows POSIX and strips it: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> foo = blah\ what Instead, let's issue a portability warning whenever \# is used, even if it isn't being appended, and do not strip the \# when appending. Now: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> warning: escaping \# comment markers is not portable -> foo = blah\#blah what * NEWS: Mention change in \# handling. * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: Do not strip # if escaped. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Warn if \# is used. * t/comment12.sh: New test. * t/comments-escaped-in-var.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add comment12.sh & comments-escaped-in-var.sh.

texi: pass automatic -I to dvi & pdf generation Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/23599. When generating info/html pages, automake adds -I flags to source dirs that contain the texi files, but it doesn't do this for dvi or pdf formats. Instead, automake has been relying on texi2dvi to use makeinfo for expanding macros, and it hasn't done that by default in a long time. Since adding --expand to the texi2dvi call is undesirable (due to bad and unpredictable BEHAVIOR), pass those automatic -I flags directly to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF so they work regardless of --expand behavior. We have to keep the MAKEINFO= setting around as texi2dvi might itself fall back to it if the version of tex is old or broken. * bin/automake.in: Add comment about $makeinfoflags usage. * doc/automake.texi: Mention automatic -I subdir flags. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Pass %MAKEINFOFLAGS% to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. * t/txinfo-subdir-pr343.sh: Check for -I subdir usage.

tests: clear autotools env vars Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/16714. The testsuite will try and retain these env vars when recursively running itself, but doesn't distinguish between vars coming from the env where the tests were launched. This breaks if the user happens to `export ACLOCAL=alocal` before `make check`. This gets a little more confusing in that the Makefile appears to export these already: ACLOCAL = ".../automake/pre-inst-env" aclocal-1.16 In reality, while those are set in the make execution environment, they aren't exported into the process environment, so children (i.e. shell processes in make rules) don't have them set. That's why tests work for most people today. However, if the user has first exported "ACLOCAL" in the parent make environment (regardless of value), then make's value will reset the process environment, and then that will leak into the children. That's why we see errors that look like the makefile env vars are leaking for these people. At any rate, the fix is to update the test harness to clear these vars that the test suite relies upon, especially the ones that are also set in the Makefiles. That includes AUTOUPDATE even though it currently isn't used inside any of the tests. * t/local.mk: Add ACLOCAL, AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and AUTOUPDATE to the env unset list. * t/ax/runtest.in: Likewise.

Fix some build and test failures with Autoconf 2.70. Autoconf 2.70 (released last week) makes a few changes that broke Automake’s expectations, mostly in the test suite. This patch addresses two of the problems: - autoconf now issues a warning if fed a configure script that doesn’t invoke both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT; this, plus a problem with system-provided tools (still under investigation) broke the *build* on macOS; it also causes a couple of spurious testsuite failures. - AC_PACKAGE_NAME and AC_PACKAGE_VERSION are now defined unconditionally. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE needs to use m4_ifset instead of m4_ifdef to diagnose the obsolete use of AC_INIT with fewer than two arguments. (This change is compatible with autoconf 2.69; m4_ifset is much older, and it means ‘defined with a non-empty value’.) * configure.ac: Use both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT in test configure scripts. * t/deprecated-acinit.sh, t/init.sh: Likewise. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use m4_ifset, not m4_ifdef, to detect AC_PACKAGE_NAME and/or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION not having a value.

This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/44458 and updates https://bugs.gnu.org/11347. * t/local.mk ($(srcdir)/%D/testsuite-part.am): restore dependency on '%D/list-of-tests.mk' (i.e., t/list-of-tests.mk), partially reverting the change of 26 Apr 2012 for bug#11347. Otherwise, new tests that have dependencies will not cause an update of testsuite-part.am, leading to strange failures (bug#44458). The original problem being fixed in #11347 was unnecessary rebuilding when modifying tests; that should not be affected here, but when new tests are added, it seems reasonable, as well as necessary, to ensure dependencies are updated.

Use complete configure.ac’s in testsuite. Autoconf 2.70 will issue warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that doesn’t call both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT. Automake already issues warnings if it encounters a configure.ac that uses an AM_ macro but doesn’t call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE or AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]). In two places, the testsuite was tripping these warnings, leading to spurious failures with Autoconf 2.70 betas. * t/aminit-moreargs-deprecation.sh: Add AC_OUTPUT to test configure.ac. * t/mkdirp-deprecation.sh: Use a complete test configure.ac, not a stub containing only a use of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P.

This is a bug, but it’s not *automake’s* bug, and should not cause t/python-virtualenv.sh to fail. Skip the test, instead of failing it, when the inner=outer version check fails.

This change fixes automake bug#39078: https://debbugs.gnu.org/39078 * t/ax/test-lib.sh (rm_rf_): run chmod -R u+rwx and rm -rf, instead of calling our t/ax/deltree.pl script. This reverses the change of 2013-05-16. It made sense to write and use deltree at that point, but unfortunately as of perl-5.28.0 (File::Path.pm version 2.15), rmtree no longer removes a tree with unreadable subdirectories, such as we (intentionally) have. So we might as well go back to rm -rf. The unconditional recursive chmod instead of the previously-used more complex find command will hopefully prove portable. See the bug report for more details. Our deltree.pl is not used for anything else, but nevertheless leaving it in our source tree for now, for ease of reversion and comparison.
