f859f346 | 2013-05-24 00:44:59 | tests: new convenience target 'check-parallel' To force the test scripts to invoke make in parallel mode. This should enhance coverage of use cases (make concurrency) that are becoming more and more important with today multicore fast machines. * Makefile.am (check-parallel): New .PHONY target.

361430c0 | 2013-05-16 14:18:55 | tests: use perl, not find+rm, to remove temporary directories The File::Path::rmtree function from perl, if used right, is more reliable and more portable of our past idiom: find $dirs -type d ! -perm -700 -exec chmod u+rwx {} ';'; rm -rf $$dirs || exit 1 at least of the face of unreadable dirs/files and other similar permission issues (and we have those in our test directories). In fact, this change fixes some spurious failures seen in "make distcheck" on Solaris 10. * t/ax/deltree.pl: New. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it. (clean-local-check): Use it. * t/ax/test-lib.sh (rm_rf_): Use it. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | |

c8f106c7 | 2013-05-09 11:17:47 | build: break up monolithic Makefile.am in subdir-specific fragments This is convenient to do, now that we have improved "relative directory" support with the '%reladir%' (a.k.a. '%D%') and '%canon_reladir%' (a.k.a. '%C%') Automake-time substitutions for included makefile fragments. This move also satisfy our philosophy of using new Automake features in our own build system, as a way of facilitating early discovery of possible bugs or interface warts. * Makefile.am: Break up ... * doc/Makefile.inc, lib/Automake/Makefile.inc, lib/Makefile.inc, lib/am/Makefile.inc, m4/Makefile.inc, t/Makefile.inc): ... in this new included fragments.

283ded7f | 2013-02-04 23:04:18 | build: auto-generate perl subroutines prototypes for automake and aclocal This will allow us to avoid either using the '&foo' invocation form when invoking a subroutine before its definition, or having to maintain the list of prototypes by hand (with the risk of having it become incomplete or fall out-of-sync when future edits to the automake and aclocal scripts are done). * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Automatically generate a list of prototypes by looking at the subroutines definitions. * bootstrap.sh: Likewise, when generating the temporary automake and aclocal scripts used for bootstrapping. * automake.in: Add a placeholder that will be tracked by the new recipes and substituted with the computed prototypes. Remove existing prototypes, that are now superfluous.

b670a66a | 2013-01-11 18:26:03 | tests: can fake a compiler not grasping "-c -o" -- globally in all tests The ability to easily do so will be quite important in upcoming changes about C compilation handling and semantics of the 'subdir-objects' option.

5fdf7587 | 2013-01-03 12:03:37 | plans: add the "PLANS" directory Individual files or sub-directories about future and on-going development plans in Automake will be added in follow-up commits. This new set of documents is meant to help ensure a more controlled and smooth development and evolution for Automake, in several ways. - Having the plans clearly spelled out should will avoid messy roadmaps with no clear way forward or with muddy or ill-defined aims or purposes; a trap this is too easy to fall into. - Keeping planned changes cooking and re-hashed for a while should ensure rough edges are smoothed up, transitions are planned in a proper way (hopefully avoiding debacles like the AM_MKDIR_PROG_P deprecation and the AM_CONFIG_HEADER too-abrupt removal), and "power users" have more chances of getting informed in due time, thus having all the time to prepare for the changes or raise objections against them. - Having the plans clearly stated and registered in a "centralized" location should make it more difficult to them to slip through the cracks, getting forgotten or (worse) only half-implemented. - Even for discussions and plans registered on the Bug Tracker as well, a corresponding entry in the PLANS directory can help in keeping main ideas summarized, and consensus and/or objections registered and easily compared. Motivation: <http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2013/01/autotools-mythbuster-automake-pains> Not a flatting picture for us (and maybe a little too harsh), but basically true and even spot-on in some regards. * PLANS/README: New. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the whole PLANS directory.

c3186313 | 2013-01-02 21:08:27 | maint: add some of my maintainer-specific scripts They are likely not general enough for widespread use, but they are useful nonetheless. In the best-case scenario, they will start to be used by other people, and thus accordingly improved and made more general and flexible. In the worst case scenario, well, I still get to keep them in a centralized, blessed place, simplifying the deployment and use of them; so still a win for me :-) * maint/am-ft: New script. * maint/am-xft: Likewise. * maint/rename-tests: Likewise. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add them.

8e921bf8 | 2012-12-30 10:33:23 | obsolete: better error message if AM_CONFIG_HEADER is used In Automake 1.13, the long-deprecated macro AM_CONFIG_HEADER (deprecated since 2002) has been removed in favour of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS. However, the removal was done without a proper deprecation period, and that caused packages upgrading to Automake 1.13 to fail with very unclear error messages, e.g.: configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER' not found in library from aclocal, and: configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. from autoconf. In an attempt to mitigate this issue, we re-add an AM_CONFIG_HEADER definition that simply raises a *clear* error message when the macro is used. Report by Paolo Bonzini: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-12/msg00039.html> * t/am-config-header-no-more.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * m4/obsolete-err.m4: New file, contain the new AM_CONFIG_HEADER "error-raising" definition, as well as the definition of the similarly obsolete macros 'AM_C_PROTOTYPES' and 'fp_C_PROTOTYPES', moved in from ... * m4/protos.m4: ... this file, which has thus been removed. * Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Adjust. * t/ansi2knr-no-more.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update.

97947ba4 | 2012-12-14 12:36:16 | maint: move maintainer make rules in maint.mk This is done for two reasons: 1. It will enable us to take advantage of more GNU make features in our maintainer-specific recipes, if we want to (and we probably will). 2. The Makefile.am won't have to be modified each time a maintainer rule needs to be changed or tweaked; this will prevent useless remaking of (in particular) the 't/testsuite-part.am' file. * maint.mk: New, several recipes, rules and variables for maintainer-specific tasks, extracted (with some tweaks) from ... * Makefile.am: ... this file.

f0dd2dee | 2012-11-15 12:24:27 | aclocal: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS: work around autom4te option parsing bugs The autom4te program coming with autoconf 2.68 and earlier had a bug which caused the "-" command line argument (with which we tell it to read some input from from standard input) to aways be pushed at the *end* of the command line, regardless of where the user specified it (that bug was fixed by autoconf commit 'v2.68-120-gf4be358', "getopt: new Autom4te::Getopt module"). This broken semantics conflict with our usage in aclocal, where we need to pass some input to the invoked autom4te program early, and have so far been using the stdin to do so. Now we start using an external file instead. * m4/internal/ac-config-macro-dirs.m4: New file, contain a fallback definition of the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS macro for older autoconf releases. * aclocal.in (trace_used_macros): When invoking autom4te, use that file instead of "abusing" standard input. * Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Rename ...

Recipes with a trailing backslash character (possibly followed by blank characters only) can cause spurious syntax errors with at least older bash versions (e.g., bash 2.05b), and can be potentially be unportable to other weaker shells.

226be35f | 2012-07-14 21:52:43 | elisp: use suffix rules, get rid of 'elisp-comp' script (mostly a rewrite) Motivated by automake bug#11806. Traditionally, automake byte-compiled emacs-lisp '.el' files by invoking 'elisp-comp' on all of them in a bulk; this involved complex timestamping and file-locking logic. It was also brittle in any slightly-unusual setup, because 'elisp-comp' operated by copying all of the elisp files to be compiled into a temporary sub-directory and compiling them in there, the copying the resulting byte-compile files back in the build directory. This patch removes all of that juggling and chicanery in favour of defining a much simpler '.el.elc' suffix rule. Not only this is simpler, but it also interacts better with "make -jN" calls, which are becoming more and more common and useful on today's increasingly multicore systems. * Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Remove 'elisp-comp'. * automake.in (@common_files): Likewise. (handle_emacs_lisp): Do not require 'elisp-comp'. * doc/automake.texi: Remove references to 'elisp-comp'. * lib/am/lisp.am: Define elisp compilation via a suffix rule; this basically amounts to a complete re-write of the lisp byte-compilation rules. * lib/elisp-comp: Remove. * t/add-missing.tap: Remove elisp-comp test. * t/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.sh: Remove reference to elisp-comp. * t/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.tap: Likewise. * t/primary-prefix-valid-couples.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp4.sh: Remove reference to elc-stamp. * t/lisp5.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp6.sh: Likewise. * t/lisp3.sh: Likewise.

In this case, the re-execution code works correctly when the tests are executed with a POSIX shells, but breaks when they are invoked by an old-style Bourne shells (e.g., /bin/sh on Solaris). It's time to face it: that feature is too much brittle, and too seldom used (because the Makefile takes care of running the tests with the correct shell anyway, so that a breakage is only experienced when running the tests by hand). It just don't remain working for long, not when we often touch the testsuite setup (which we are going to do again when we'll try to move part of our testsuite framework to Gnulib, or a similar project). So, instead of trying to be extra-smart and automatically re-execute the tests with the correct shell, we now offer a simple wrapper script that the user can employ to run the test scripts with the proper shell. And while we are at it, we write this wrapper to also deal with TAP tests in a better way, running them through the prove(1) utility, so that their results are correctly recognized and reported. * t/ax/test-runner.in: New file; the wrapper script we were talking about. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Process it into 't/ax/test-runner'. * .gitignore: Add 't/ax/test-runner'. * defs: Remove code for automatic re-execution of the scripts with the correct shell.

|
3da1457d | 2012-06-12 14:48:12 | recursion: support user-defined recursive targets The user can now define his own recursive targets that recurse in the directories specified in $(SUBDIRS). That can be done by specifying the name of such targets in invocations of the new 'AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS' m4 macro. The API goes like this: $ cat configure.ac AC_INIT([pkg-name], [1.0] AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS([foo]) AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile sub/Makefile]) AC_OUTPUT $ cat Makefile.am SUBDIRS = sub foo-local: @echo This will be run by "make foo". $ cat sub/Makefile.am foo-local: @echo This too will be run by a "make foo" issued either in @echo the 'sub/' directory or in the top-level directory. Like for the "default" recursive targets (e.g., 'all' and 'check'), the user-defined recursive targets descend in the $(SUBDIRS) in a depth-first fashion, and process '.' last (unless that is explicitly specified in $(SUBDIRS)). * NEWS, doc/automake.texi: Document the new feature. * automake.in (@extra_recursive_targets): New global variable. (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace macro '_AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS'. (handle_user_recursion): New subroutine; among other things, it defines the new internal '$(am__extra_recursive_targets)' make variable, and the '*-am', '*-local' and '*-recursive' targets associated with the user-specified user recursive targets. (generate_makefile): Call the new subroutine. * lib/am/subdirs.am (am__recursive_targets): New internal make variable, listing all of '$(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)', '$(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)' and '$(am__extra_recursive_targets)' together. (AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust the definition of this variable ... (.PHONY, .MAKE): ... and the list of dependencies of these special targets to take advantage of the new '$(am__recursive_targets)' variable. ($(am__recursive_targets)): New targets, superseding ... ($(RECURSIVE_TARGETS), $(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)): ... these, and inheriting their rules. This way, the rules to handle recursion for built-in recursive targets (e.g., 'all', 'dvi', 'clean') and for user defined recursive targets are the same. * m4/extra-recurs.m4: New file, contain definition of new macro 'AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS' and '_AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS'. These macros are basically dummy, only used for tracing by automake. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Update. * t/recurs-user.sh: New test. * t/recurs-user2.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-deeply-nested.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-indir.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-keep-going.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-many.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-no-subdirs.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-no-top-level.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-override.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-phony.sh: Likewise. * t/recurs-user-wrap.sh: Likewise. * t/remake-recurs-user.sh: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Update.

3a1a8c6d | 2012-06-22 11:40:39 | tests: automatic re-execution works for non-POSIX shells too Some inferior shells are too greedy in parsing their input. If a non-POSIX Bourne shell (like Solaris 10 /bin/sh) was used to launch one of our test scripts, it would fail unconditionally, because it unexpectedly saw some (by it) unsupported constructs, notwithstanding such constructs being placed *after* the code implementing automatic test re-execution with a better shell. In conclusion, the shell bailed out like this: $ /bin/sh t/ar.sh $ t/ar.sh: syntax error at line 257: `is_newest_files=$' unexpected By moving all the potentially problematic code in a separate file, to be sourced only after the code for automatic re-execution with a better shell, we ensure that inferior shell cannot see such code by mistake. * defs: All code after automatic shell re-execution moved out ... * t/ax/test-init.sh: ... to this new file. * syntax-checks.mk (xdefs): Add it. * Makefile.am (dist_check_DATA): Add it.

Similarly, if a use of 'parallel_tests' is seen, suggest using 'am_serial_tests' instead, not 'am_parallel_tests'. * gen-testsuite-part: Now that we use the 'parallel-tests' by default in our tests, we need to completely change the logic and semantics of generation of sibling tests for those tests that check the Automake generated testsuite harness itself.
