| d6013ec5 | 2013-06-03 12:01:02 | tests: slightly stricter checks in t/cxx-demo.sh This is a follow-up to the commit fixing automake bug#14493. * t/cxx-demo.sh: Also check that the built program returns the correct (i.e., zero) exit status when run. And improve comments a little while at it. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | ||
| 9137db89 | 2013-06-03 11:45:29 | tests: fix spurious failure when 'etags' program is Exuberant Ctags Fixes automake bug#14517. * t/tags-pr12372.sh: If the 'etags' program in use supports the '--langmap' option, use it. That is required to avoid spurious failures with Exuberant Ctags (at least version 5.8), which by default do not generate any tags for file extensions it doesn't recognize.

| b4eefc79 | 2013-06-03 11:27:49 | tests: fix spurious failure due to missing sleeps Fixes automake bug#14528. * THANKS: Give credit to that bug's original reporter. * t/remake-configure-dependencies.sh: Add few missing '$sleep' invocations. I thought that the sleeps implicit in the configure invocation were enough, but they were not, actually. Here is what can happen: 1. The config.status script is generated by a configure run. 2. ./config.status and make are run. 3. The 'print-version' script is modified. 4. Since that script is listed in $(CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES), autoconf is re-run. 5. On a fast-enough machine, the three steps 2-4 above, even combined, might have taken less than a second to run; 6. If the filesystem doesn't have a sub-second timestamp resolution, that means the newly-generated configure has the same timestamp of the old config.status; 7. So, config.status is not re-run, and the Makefiles are not updated. 8. Spurious failure! So we really need more explicit sleeps. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | ||

| 9f325eea | 2013-05-30 11:31:02 | automake: assume we can always pass '-o' to the C compiler It is assumed that we can pass -c -o to the C compiler, so remove some special casing and always do that. This change is similar in spirit to v1.13.1d-217-g7299c4d "depend: assume we can always pass '-o' to the C compiler" This change also happen to fix a testsuite failure (t/silent-many-languages.sh) when mixing MSVC and GNU fortran, which have different default object file extensions (.obj vs. .o). This difference in object file extension is not handled well and caused Automake to look for MSVC objects with .o extension. Always using -o makes MSVC create .o object files and linking succeeds. Not that anybody recommends mixing toolchains or anything. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Remove conditional modification of 'output_flag' entry for 'c'. (register_language ('name' => 'c')): Add 'output_flag' entry set to '-o'. Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> | ||

| e90126cf | 2013-05-15 10:14:46 | AM_PROG_CC_C_O: don't rely on AC_PROG_CC_C_O, re-implement similar logic ** Theoretical problems of AC_PROG_CC_C_O: Both cc and $CC are checked to see if they support the '-c' and '-o' options together. This behaviour is highly inconsistent with that of the other macros related to C compiler checks -- which test only $CC. It can also cause unwarranted uses of the 'compile' script on systems where the default 'cc' is inferior, but the user is compiling with a proper, different compiler (e.g., gcc). ** Practical problems with our previous implementation of C support m4 macros in Automake: - AM_PROG_AR must now be called *before* AC_PROG_CC; this wasn't the case before, and it turns out there are packages in the wild that relied on the old behaviour. - The cross-referenced requirements and macro rewrites juggled among AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CC_C_O and AM_PROG_CC_C_O caused warnings in autoconf; for example, in our test 't/libobj3.sh', we could see warnings like these (here slightly tweaked for legibility): configure.ac:5: AC_REQUIRE: `AC_PROG_CC' expanded before required autoconf/c.m4:567: AC_PROG_CC_C_O is expanded from... autoconf/c.m4:429: AC_LANG_COMPILER(C) is expanded from... autoconf/lang.m4:329: AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2606: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from... m4sugar/m4sh.m4:639: AS_IF is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2031: AC_CACHE_VAL is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2052: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from... aclocal.m4:70: AM_PROG_AR is expanded from... configure.ac:5: the top level ** Fix all of that: We fix all of the described issues with a new internal m4 macro _AM_PROG_CC_C_O (inspired to, but not based on, AC_PROG_CC_C_O) that gets tacked on to AC_PROG_CC automatically (this is done in the Automake-generated aclocal.m4) and that takes care of checking and adjusting '$CC' for "-c -o" support. The macro AM_PROG_CC_C_O is still present, but is now just a thin wrapper around such Automake-enhanced AC_PROG_CC. It is worth noting that the present patch causes three slight *backward-incompatibilities*: 1. The name cache variable used by AM_PROG_CC_C_O is no longer computed (at configure runtime!) from the content of '$CC', but is statically defined as 'am_cv_prog_cc_c_o'. 2. 'cc' is no longer checked by AM_PROG_CC_C_O, only '$CC' is. 3. AM_PROG_CC_C_O no longer AC_DEFINE the C preprocessor symbol 'NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O'. Given however that the third change can easily be worked around, that the first two changes can be legitimately seen as bug fixes, and that the new semantics introduced by such changes will simplify the transition to Automake 2.0 (when the 'subdir-objects' will always be enabled unconditionally), we believe they are acceptable to be shipped with Automake 1.14. With this patch, we also revert some of the testsuite adjustments done in previous commit v1.13.2-178-g9877109 of 2013-05-24 (compile: rewrite AC_PROG_CC with AM_PROG_CC_C_O contents). Such adjustments are no longer needed. * m4/minuso.m4 (_AM_PROG_CC_C_O): New internal macro, basically and adjusted version of a merge between Autoconf-provided AC_PROG_CC_C_O and our old implementation of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.

| 9877109c | 2013-05-14 16:08:32 | compile: rewrite AC_PROG_CC with AM_PROG_CC_C_O contents This is a much simpler rewrite than the one we attempted in the past, and that was later removed by commit 'v1.13.1d-137-g32eb770' of 2013-05-11 (compile: avoid AC_PROG_CC messy rewrite). Not only this change simplifies the code a little, but has the welcome collateral effect of making automatic dependency tracking work better with compilers that doesn't grasp the '-c' and '-o' options together. Issues in that setup have been caught by several failures in the target 'check-no-cc-c-o'. Unfortunately, this change has less welcome collateral effects: 1. AM_PROG_AR must now be called *after* AC_PROG_CC; 2. Autoconf emits extra warnings when used with Automake-generated aclocal.m4. These are unacceptable regressions for a release, but since we are going to fix them soon enough in a follow-up patch (surely to be applied before Automake 1.14 is released) we don't worry too much. * m4/init.m4: Redefine AC_PROG_CC early, to automatically invoke AM_PROG_CC_C_O as well.

| d19eb85c | 2013-05-24 01:13:40 | 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.

| c7cfa093 | 2013-05-21 20:22:17 | tests: run_make: options to do command redirection Let's improve the API of the 'run_make()' helper shell function by adding three new options: -O Save the standard output from make on disk, in a regular file named 'stdout'. -E Save the standard error from make on disk, in a regular file named 'stderr'. -M Save both the standard output and standard error from make on disk, in a regular file named 'output'. This option supersedes both the '-O' and '-E' options. This new API has two main advantages. 1. Its use will allow us to get rid of more cumbersome idioms like, e.g., $MAKE check >stdout && { cat stdout; exit 1; } cat stdout That can now be substituted with a simpler one: run_make -e FAIL -O check 2. More importantly, using the new API we will prevent any extra output from the shell traces of the code in run_make to be redirected along with the make stderr (where that was redirected). This problem was present in usages like, e.g., run_make TESTS=foo.test check 2>stderr && exit 1 grep 'expected error message' stderr Such usages are now to be rewritten as follows: run_make -e FAIL -E TESTS=foo.test check grep 'expected error message' stderr ensuring that 'stderr' won't end up containing unrelated stuff. Note that we do not convert in bulk the old idioms and the use of redirected 'run_make' invocations with this patch. We only convert some occurrences, to ensure that the new implementation of 'run_make' is sound enough. More sweeping conversions will likely be done in follow-up patches. * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (run_make): Enhance and implement the extended API. * t/tap-xfail-tests.sh: Use the new 'run_make' API. * t/test-driver-cond.sh: Likewise. * t/tests-environment-fd-redirect.sh: Likewise. * t/uninstall-fail.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-dist-nobuild.sh: Likewise.

| ffd4ecc9 | 2013-05-20 11:23:01 | tests: better idiom to override make macro defs on the cmdline We now do so with a new wrapper shell function 'run_make()', which relies on the use of AM_MAKEFLAGS, avoiding the use of the '-e' make option. The use of that option (that causes the environment variables to take precedence over the macro definitions in the Makefile) has proved to be quite brittle in the past, causing annoying and sometimes problematic spurious failures. This has worsened in some still unpublished work going on in development branches. It's time to solve the issue once and for all. Note that we do not convert all uses of $MAKE in the testsuite right away; we might do so in follow-up changes, with leisure, to avoid a "patch bomb" effect (this commit is already too much of a bomb itself). What we do in this commit is to get rid of all "$MAKE -e" invocations. We admit that the implementation and feature-set of 'run_make()' are far from perfect, but good enough for our current purposes. We'll improve 'run_make()' if and when the need arises. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_no_make_e): New syntax check, guard against the use of "$MAKE -e". (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
