Peter Rosin 3a814608 2012-03-07T21:08:06 Merge branch 'msvc' into maint This merge remedies the confusing situation that some changes destined for both the master branch and the release branch (a.k.a. branch-1.11) currently needs to be made on the non-obvious msvc branch and not on the more natural maint branch. This has caused a seemingly endless string of less than optimal commits. The reason for the confusion stems from the fact that the changes made on the msvc branch became too radical and was considered only suitable for the master branch, and was thus written in a form suitable for master and then merged there. Later, the msvc branch was merged directly into branch-1.11, in order to rush the new features to the market and to keep the released scripts (lib/ar-lib, lib/compile and lib/depcomp) consistent with those on the master branch. However, some changes had to be made to the features added by the msvc branch in order for them to fit the requirements of branch-1.11, notably that the warnings issued in the extra-portability class cannot be enabled by -Wall in the 1.11.x maintenance releases. In retrospect, it would have been better to not merge msvc directly into branch-1.11, but instead do it via the maint branch (followed up with a dummy merge from maint into master) the moment it was decided that the msvc changes should make it into branch-1.11. All in all, this merge is going to affect neither the master branch nor branch-1.11, since it is followed up with dummy merges masking all changes. The merge is made to maintain the sanity of the poor developers, who wishes to once again have a working maint branch. Discussion about merging the msvc branch into branch-1.11: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-10/msg00030.html Discussion about why this merge hasn't happened before: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-12/msg00051.html Extra edits below. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use the version from branch-1.11. * tests/ar-lib3.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib4.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability2.test: Likewise. * tests/extradep.test: Likewise. * tests/extradep2.test: Likewise. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * HACKING: Backport the version from branch-1.11 while at it (as the change on branch-1.11 is also present on master via an unrelated commit), even though this change has nothing to do with the changes on the msvc branch.
Stefano Lattarini 5b44ce39 2012-02-23T13:07:57 tests: quote 'like this', not `like this', as per GCS recommendation This patch converts the automake testsuite and related files, to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. This is done for consistency with the new recommendations in the GNU Coding Standards, and, well, because I've come to actually prefer the '...' and "..." quoting formats over the `...' one. * tests/README: Update quoting format throughout. Remove some "excessive" use of quoting, and throw in minor rewording where appropriate. * tests/Makefile.am: Likewise, for comments. * tests/CheckListOfTests.am: Likewise. * tests/defs-static.in: Likewise. * tests/defs: Likewise. * tests/trivial-test-driver: Likewise. * Many tests/*.tap, tests/*.test and tests/*.sh files: Likewise, and for the diagnostic and informational messages as well. * tests/gen-testsuite-part: Likewise, and for the generated tests as well.
Stefano Lattarini db973eaa 2012-02-21T19:47:36 tests: prefer 'configure.ac' over 'configure.in' With this change, our testsuite now uses 'configure.ac' as the name for the typical autoconf input, instead of the obsolescent 'configure.in' (which has been deprecated for several years, at least since autoconf 2.50). Most of the test cases changed by this commit have been automatically modified with this sed command (using GNU sed): sed -i 's/\<configure\(\\\?\)\.in\>/configure\1.ac/g' * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_no_configure_in): New syntax check. (syntax_check_rules): Add it. * tests/defs: Create stub for autoconf input in 'configure.ac', not in 'configure.in'. Adjust comments. ($AUTOCONF, $AUTOHEADER, $AUTORECONF): Remove workaround for the infamous debian autoconf wrapper: we don't need such workaround anymore now that we name our autoconf input as 'configure.ac'. For more information, see commit v1.11-564-g63da492 "test defs: hack to support autoconf-wrapper programs" of 16-12-2011. * tests/README: Use 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'. * Many many tests: Likewise. * tests/backcompat3.test: Adjust to avoid spurious failures. * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise. * tests/missing6.test: Likewise. * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise, and extend a bit since we are at it.

Stefano Lattarini 7a7aeb80 2011-11-05T20:41:49 tests: remove redundant settings of `errexit' shell flag * tests/aclocal-path-install-serial.test: Do not set the `errexit' shell flag, as it is already set by `tests/defs'. * tests/ar-lib2.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib3.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib4.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib5a.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib5b.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib6a.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib6b.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib7.test: Likewise. * tests/ar3.test: Likewise. * tests/ar4.test: Likewise. * tests/ar5.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability2.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability3.test: Likewise. * tests/install-info-dir.test: Likewise. * tests/maintmode-configure-msg.test: Likewise.
Stefano Lattarini 8c9642ae 2011-11-05T11:52:55 Merge branch 'master' into testsuite-work Commits merged from master: - test defs: new functions to analyze configure help screen - warnings: fix buglets for portability warnings - tests: extend tests on 'extra-portability' warning category Extra edits to the testsuite: * tests/extra-portability.test: Use `$am_original_AUTOMAKE' instead of the obsolete `$original_AUTOMAKE'. * tests/extra-portability3.test: Likewise. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Update.
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 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.
Stefano Lattarini 38e1b39d 2011-11-03T13:50:06 Merge branch 'msvc' into master Commits merged from msvc: - tests: few improvements to some `ar-lib' related tests - warnings: new 'extra-portability' category, for AM_PROG_AR - ar-lib: new 'AM_PROG_AR' macro, triggering the 'ar-lib' script Extra changes required by the testsuite: * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Adjust to new portability requirements due to the new AM_PROG_AR macro. * tests/libobj-basic.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj2.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj15a.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj15b.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj15c.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj16a.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj16b.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj17.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj18.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj19.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj20a.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj20b.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj20c.test: Likewise. * tests/canon6.test: Likewise. * tests/canon6.test: Likewise. * tests/canon7.tests: Likewise. * tests/extra9.test: Likewise. * tests/extradep.test: Likewise. * tests/extradep2.test: Likewise. * tests/posixsubst-ldadd.test: Likewise. * tests/posixsubst-libraries.test: Likewise. * tests/posixsubst-ltlibraries.test: Likewise. * tests/python-virtualenv.test: Likewise. * tests/vartypos.test: Likewise. * tests/vartypo2.test: Likewise. * tests/suffix.test: Update to take into account previous master-only changes. * tests/suffix2.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj7.test: Call automake with the `--add-missing' option, instead of creating a dummy `ar-lib' file, since this test now also runs "./configure" and "make". * tests/suffix5.test: Copy the real `ar-lib' script file, instead of creating a dummy one, since this test now also runs "./configure" and "make". * tests/extra-portability2.test: Fix this test not to rely on the older, faulty semantics of "strictness specification always reset warning level", which has been fixed in commit v1.11-623-g1609491 (see also automake bug#7669 a.k.a. 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.
