Stefano Lattarini dd78a5e8 2013-05-28T15:13:46 maint: install minimal supported autoconf through convenience targets To make testing of Automake in conjunction with it easier and more reproducible. It might be nice to also have convenience targets to actually automatically run the Automake testsuite with such autoconf version, but that is left to later patches. * configure.ac: AC_SUBST the definition of $required_autoconf_version. * maint.mk (WGET): Move definition earlier. (gnu-ftp, ac-v, ac-n, ac-p, ac-t, ac-l, ac-d): New auxiliary variables. (fetch-minimal-autoconf, build-minimal-autoconf): New convenience targets. * .gitignore: Update.

Stefano Lattarini f87ce5b0 2013-01-01T01:20:49 tests: don't always look for a C++ compiler named 'RCC' On MacOS X (10.8), since the file system is case-insensitive, RCC can point to the "Resource Compiler" of the Qt4 Toolkit: <http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.2/rcc.html> That mismatch causes our configure script to erroneously think that no working C++ compiler is present, and that is thus necessary to skip all the test cases requiring such a compiler. So only look for a compiler named 'RCC' if the file system is case-sensible. Issue spotted analyzing the testsuite logs reported in bug#13317. * configure.ac: Adjust.

Stefano Lattarini 1bc5acb2 2012-07-11T14:36:13 tests: don't use C instead of C++ compiler on case-insensitive platforms This change fixes automake bug#11893 and bug#10766. On at least Cygwin and Mac OS X 10.7, the file system where the system compilers are located can be case-insensitive, so that looking for a program named 'CC' might actually find the C compiler in /usr/bin/cc. Now, the Automake configure script looks for a C++ compiler named 'CC' before looking for more obvious names like c++ or g++ (that is done to increase testsuite "coverage in the wild", e.g., preferring, on Solaris, the Sun Studio C++ compiler /usr/bin/CC over the GNU C++ compiler). Since the checks done in AC_PROG_CXX are apparently not strict enough to rule out C compilers like those from GCC or Clang (which are smart enough to recognize if a file has a C++ extension, passing it to the C++ front end) the testsuite might end up using a C compiler where a C++ one is expected, with some subtle bad consequences. * configure.ac: Don't look for a C++ compiler named 'CC' if the "top-level" file system(s) (where /bin and /usr/bin are) are detected to be case-insensitive.

Stefano Lattarini a5edf3d6 2012-07-06T22:17:59 test runner: work correctly in VPATH setups Due to a "feature" of AC_CONFIG_FILES, because 't/ax/test-runner.in' is in a subdirectory, the '@srcdir@' value that is AC_SUBST'd in it gets tweaked to contain as much '..' components as are the directory components of 't/ax/test-runner'. Because our build system operates in a non-recursive setup, this substitution is wrong; for example, the final 't/ax/test-runner' build in a VPATH builds where the source directory is ".." contains the line: : ${srcdir='../../../t/ax'} instead of the expected (and correct): : ${srcdir='../t/ax'} We solve the issue by building 't/ax/test-runner' with a Makefile recipe instead of config.status substitutions; this is already done for other testsuite-related files, like 'defs-static'. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Don't build 't/ax/test-runner' anymore. * Makefile.am (t/ax/test-runner): New rule.

Stefano Lattarini b6e6409a 2012-07-06T12:24:33 tests init: don't automatically re-execute tests with a POSIX shell I've unwittingly broken support for that feature *again* in some of my recent testsuite tweaking. 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. This file now just a very thin layer around 'defs-static' and 't/ax/test-init.sh'. * t/README: Adjust, and remove or fix some imprecise or outdated text in the process (like "... test scripts are written with portability in mind, so that they should run with any decent Bourne-compatible shell ..." ). * Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): No need to export 'AM_TESTS_REEXEC' to "no" anymore. * t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Likewise. * t/self-check-exit.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-me.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-dir.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-reexec.tap: Remove as obsolete. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.

Stefano Lattarini c2a52bf0 2012-06-24T10:36:15 tests: simpler workaround for shells losing the exit status in exit trap Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh). For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the Autoconf manual: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap> The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following shells: - Bash 4.1 - Bash 3.2 - Bash 3.0 - Bash 2.05b - dash 0.5.5.1 - dash 0.5.2 - AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package) - MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package) - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh * t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ...

Stefano Lattarini 68075ce0 2012-05-05T21:48:49 require: autoconf >= 2.65; related simplifications The new support for Objective C++ (to be added in Automake 1.12.1) can be simplified if we assume Autoconf version 2.65 or later (2.65 being the version that introduced support for Objective C++). Since such an Autoconf version is two and half years old now (and will likely be almost three years old when Automake 1.13 gets released), requiring it is acceptable. This will also simplify testing and maintenance of Automake, because we'll need to test with fewer Autoconf version, and possibly rely on new Autoconf features. * NEWS (Version requirements): Automake 1.13 will require Autoconf 2.65 or later. * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): Bump to 2.65. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require Autoconf >= 2.65.

Stefano Lattarini 0fec8df4 2012-05-02T18:15:41 Merge branch 'always-support-silent-rules' * always-support-silent-rules: silent rules: support for them is always active now Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
Stefano Lattarini 14141f25 2012-05-01T14:23:04 silent rules: support for them is always active now Before this change, support for silent rules was optional and activated only if the 'silent-rules' option was specified. The rationale behind that behaviour was that the silent-rules machinery originally only worked with make implementations supporting nested variables expansions, which isn't (or wasn't) a POSIX-specified features; so that packages wanting to be "extra-portable" couldn't use the silent-rules machinery at all. But after Paul Eggert's commit 'v1.11-598-g8493499' of 25-12-2011, "silent-rules: fallback for makes without nested vars" (motivated by automake bugs #9928 and #10237), Makefiles generated when the 'silent-rules' option is enabled can work also with those make implementations that don't support nested variables expansion (albeit the configure-time selected verbosity cannot be overridden at make runtime in such case). In light of that, and since silent rules are disabled by default even when the 'silent-rules' option is given (unless the developer explicitly makes them enabled by default be calling "AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])" in configure.ac), we can now have the support for silent rules always enabled. The 'silent-rules' option will thus become a no-op, but will reaming a valid option for the time being, for better backward-compatibility. A collateral effect of this change is that the use of the 'silent-rules' option will not anymore automatically disable the warnings in the 'portability-recursive' category. The present change is basically a backport of the Automake-NG commit 'v1.11d-75-g61ca923' of 19-04-2012, "[ng] silent rules: support for them is always active now". Stemmed by this thread on the Automake-NG list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-ng/2012-04/msg00027.html> * automake.in: Enable silent-rules machinery unconditionally. Reword some comments.

See automake bug#7868 for more information. Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test' script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test' will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters. * tests/: Rename ... * t/: ... to this. * t/*.test: Rename ... * t/*.sh: ... to this. * t/.gitignore: Removed as obsolete. * t/defs: Adjust. * t/gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * t/ccnoco.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco3.sh: Likewise. * t/self-check-cleanup.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-dir.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-me.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-reexec.tap: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * bootstrap: Likewise * configure.ac: Likewise. * Makefile.am: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise. * syntax-check.mk: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini 5d9d10e0 2012-02-22T22:39:03 tests: looks for GNU compilers at configure time This way, if the generic C compiler determined configure time is recognized to be the GNU C compiler, we can reuse it instead of looking for a compiler named "gcc" (over and over again) in the test scripts requiring the GNU C compiler. Ditto for the C++, Fortran, and Fortran 77 compilers. This change will improve coverage by allowing us to more easily use non-default GNU compilers throughout the testsuite. And as a bonus, this change also removes a weakness from our testsuite that could cause spurious failures when flags passed to the generic compilers were erroneously reused for the GNU compilers; see automake bug#10859. * configure.ac: Look for the GNU compilers explicitly. Improve some configure output and diagnostic since we are at it. * tests/defs-static.in ($GNU_CC, $GNU_CXX, $GNU_FC, $GNU_F77): Initialize with the values determined at configure time (while allowing user overrides). * tests/Makefile.am (do_edit): Also substitute the configure-time values of GNU_CC, GNU_CXX, GNU_FC and GNU_F77. * tests/defs (gcc, g++, gfortran, g77): Use the values for the GNU compilers determined at configure time (i.e., $GNU_CC for the GNU C compiler, and so on).
Stefano Lattarini 2d951983 2012-02-23T19:21:00 build: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation This patch converts the files implementing the automake's own build system to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. * bootstrap, configure.ac, syntax-checks.mk, Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, m4/Makefile.am, syntax-checks.mk: Update quoting format throughout, in comments and diagnostic. Some minor related rewordings and reformatting since we are at it.

Stefano Lattarini a98e58ff 2012-02-17T15:20:03 tests: fix many spurious failures in VPATH builds The 'is' helper script, used by some test cases since commit 'v1.11-1830-g96401cb' of 08-02-2012, "tests: better way to compare lists in Makefile rules", is not available in VPATH builds, since it resides in $(srcdir), nor in $(builddir), and only $(builddir) is added to $PATH in the test script. This was causing spurious failures. Solve this issue by re-organizing a bit the layout and placing of wrapper and help scripts used by the testsuite. This reorganization is by no mean complete, but should be enough to solve the VPATH issues. * tests/is: Moved ... * tests/ax/is: ... here * tests/automake.in: Moved ... * tests/wrap/automake.in: ... here. * tests/aclocal.in: Moved ... * tests/wrap/aclocal.in: ... here. * tests/defs-static.in ($am_bindir, $PATH): Adjust. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST, check_SCRIPTS): Likewise. * tests/get-sysconf.test: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise.
Stefano Lattarini 3b369e6b 2012-02-16T22:29:32 maint: use AC_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT to avoid duplication * configure.ac: In the message reporting whether the user is about to build an alpha or beta version, use the autoconf-provided AC_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT macro instead of duplicating the bur reporting address.

Stefano Lattarini b42514b4 2012-02-14T10:11:02 tests: truly use Lex and Yacc selected by configure When 'yacc-work' was merged into 'yl-work-for-master' in commit v1.11-1910-ge6c40d4 (12-02-2012), the values for $YACC and $LEX stopped being substituted directly by config.status, and started being substituted by a Makefile rule using the contents of the $(YACC) and $(LEX) makefile variables. Unfortunately, our configure.ac was calling AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE on 'YACC' and 'LEX' (see commit v1.11-284-g34ca92b of 29-01-2011, "tests: don't define YACC and LEX in the Makefiles", for a rationale), so that the $(YACC) and $(LEX) in the Makefile simply hold the default make-provided values (that is, "yacc" and "lex" respectively), independently of what yacc and lex programs were defined at configure time. Apart from reducing coverage and creating confusion, this behaviour also caused spurious failures on systems lacking a yacc and/or lex programs. Problem reported by Peter Rosin.

Stefano Lattarini e508e09d 2012-01-28T10:05:18 build: require GNU make in order to run the maintainer checks This is not a real regression in portability, since most maintainer check rules already assumed GNU grep, and were anyway only meant to run on the developers' systems (where we can safely assume the presence of GNU make). This change will allow us to take advantage, in future changes, of more GNU make features, thus simplifying or optimizing some of our maintainer rules. * GNUmakefile: New, including 'Makefile' and 'syntax-checks.mk'. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Link it in the builddir. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute 'GNUmakefile' and 'syntax-checks.mk'. Move all syntax-check rules and auxiliary variables into ... * syntax-checks.mk: ... this new file, with some adjustments.
