Stefano Lattarini 97cbf15b 2011-11-05T10:43:27 Merge branch 'msvc' into master Commits merged from msvc: - warnings: fix buglets for portability warnings - tests: extend tests on 'extra-portability' warning category Extra testsuite edits: * tests/extra-portability3.test: Use `$original_AUTOMAKE' instead of hackishly extracting the first component of `$AUTOMAKE'. * tests/extra-portability.test: Likewise. Also, since we are at it, throw in a couple of small extensions and tweakings (suggested by the minor merge conflicts).

Stefano Lattarini db93b31d 2011-11-04T12:50:49 warnings: fix buglets for portability warnings * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (switch_warning): Ensure the correct implications and inter-dependencies between warnings in the categories `portability', `extra-portability' and `recursive-portability' are respected. Also add detailed explicative comments, and references to the relevant tests. * tests/dollarvar2.test: Update and extend. Also, remove some unnecessary uses of `--force' option in automake calls. * tests/extra-portability3.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
Stefano Lattarini f23d5a15 2011-11-04T12:15:33 tests: extend tests on 'extra-portability' warning category * tests/extra-portability.test: Redefine `$AUTOMAKE' to ensure we have complete control over the automake options. Extend by using also a setup where no `portability' warning is present (only an `extra-portability' warning is). Other minor extensions. Remove some redundant, verbose comments about the expected diagnostic.

Also ... (configure.in): ... add call to AC_PROG_CC, to ensure automake really fails for the expected reason.

PR/547). Since we are at it, throw inf few other minor unrelated improvements. * tests/extra-portability.test: Explicitly pass `-Wall' to automake calls, for clarity.

(ar-lib): Use the real `ar-lib' script (mildly patched) rather than a dummy one, to ensure better "real-life coverage". Fix botched shebang line. * tests/ar-lib5b.test: Extend the PATH variable to make the dummy `lib' script accessible, instead of explicitly calling it by its relative/absolute path. (ar-lib): Fix botched shebang line. (bin/lib): Likewise. Also, add explicative comments, and make slightly stricter.

Stefano Lattarini b5c39684 2011-10-24T23:18:34 tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function which is required to link most lex-generated programs). On the contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl') fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to possibly fail later, at make time. This behaviour is intended; the Autoconf manual reads: ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it produces is portable. In order to ensure portability, however, you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.'' This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library providing `yywrap' (this happens for example on Fedora-based systems). The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers. See also partially-overlapping commit `v1.11-871-geb147a1' (from the 'testsuite-work' branch), which was motivated by similar spurious failures experienced when cross-compiling. Reported by Jim Meyering: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-10/msg00092.html> * tests/cond35.test: Provide a dummy `yywrap' function. * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-gcc.test: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini 1ec16686 2011-10-23T13:19:21 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. Report by Jonathan Nieder.

Stefano Lattarini 40c34328 2011-10-20T22:25:45 deps: partially revert commit `v1.11-512-geeee551' This change partly reverts commit "Create subdirs for generated sources even when not dep tracking", of 2011-04-02. That commit had caused the bugs #8485 and #8526. Since we are nearing the bug-fixing automake release 1.11.2, the safest policy at the moment is to just revert the problematic hunks: an older, known bug is better than a regression. * automake.in (handle_single_transform): Don't add a dirstamp dependency, even when $object is derived and lands in a subdir. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add lex-subobj-nodep.test, remove yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.test.

This was causing a spurious failure in the checks grepping the output from make. Work around this. * tests/distcheck-outdated-m4.test: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini d91f357d 2011-10-20T17:31:11 tests: avoid spurious failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Solaris * tests/uninstall-fail.test: All the Solaris 10 shells (/bin/sh, /bin/ksh, and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh), upon failing to chdir to a directory with the `cd' builtin, print a message like: "sh: /root: permission denied" which doesn't report the `cd' builtin anywhere.

Stefano Lattarini ded01c88 2011-01-13T20:33:26 dejagnu: ensure 'srcdir' is defined as a relative directory This change fixes automake bug#7833. * lib/am/dejagnu.am (check-DEJAGNU): Prefer using plain $(srcdir) over calculating and using the absolute path of $(srcdir). * tests/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.test: New test. * tests/dejagnu-absolute-builddir.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Report by Ian Lance Taylor. Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues.
Stefano Lattarini f5b69b8a 2011-10-18T21:05:24 tests: avoid spurious failure in 'parallel-tests3.test' This fixes automake bug#8788. * tests/parallel-tests3.test: To ensure that the serial run of the dummy testsuite is still ongoing when the parallel run has terminated, use `kill -0', not a bare `kill'. This will prevent a testsuite crash on NetBSD 5.1, and a testsuite hang on FreeBSD 8.2. Also, since we are at it, try harder to avoid possible hangs of the script in other unusual situations.
Stefano Lattarini 7e5ae808 2011-10-18T17:53:21 tests: fix spurious failure with FreeBSD make and Yacc in VPATH * tests/subpkg.test: Some cosmetic adjustments.

Also, add package name and version arguments to AC_INIT, to avoid spurious errors from automake.
Stefano Lattarini 579b15b7 2011-10-17T11:38:01 refactor: improve signature of 'check_directory' sub in automake * automake.in (check_directory): Take the relative directory the directory to be checked is expected to be found into as an optional parameter, rather than reading it from the global variable `$relative_dir'.

This however ends up allowing quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected behaviors in the generated Makefile.in. * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular expression ...
