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, $AUTORECONF): Remove workaround for the infamous debian autoconf wrapper: we don't need such workaround anymore now that we name our autoconf input as 'configure.ac'. For more information, see commit v1.11-564-g63da492 "test defs: hack to support autoconf-wrapper programs" of 16-12-2011. * tests/README: Use 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'. * Many many tests: Likewise. * tests/backcompat3.test: Adjust to avoid spurious failures. * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise. * tests/missing6.test: Likewise. * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise, and extend a bit since we are at it.
Stefano Lattarini 21af8bfd 2012-02-18T09:47:57 tests: avoid FreeBSD make VPATH issues in more tests (see bug#7884) See also similar change 'v1.11-755-g818bc40' of 07-02-2012, "tests: work around bug#7884 in many yacc/lex tests". The rationale for this change is basically the same. * tests/lex-lib-external.test: Use "yl_distcheck" instead of bare "$MAKE distcheck" to avoid extra failures caused by automake bug#7884. * tests/lex-noyywrap.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-libobj.test: Likewise. * tests/man6.test: This test suffers from the same FreeBSD make incompatibility in VPATH handling that is the source of automake bug#7884. Since this is caused by rules that are defined in the Makefile.am by the test itself, rather that being generated by automake, the best thing to do is to skip this test if we detect the presence of said make incompatibility (through the function 'useless_vpath_rebuild'). * tests/man8.test: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini f35c9794 2011-06-01T18:49:27 lex tests: fix spurious failures with Solaris lex * tests/lex-lib.test (foo.l): Avoid empty "rules section", which can confuse Solaris lex. * tests/lex-libobj.test (foo.l): Likewise.
Stefano Lattarini b1b5ea5c 2011-06-01T17:43:44 lex tests: avoid possible hang; fix and extend * tests/lex3.test (foo.l:yywrap): Return 1, not 0, to avoid hangs. Bug introduced in commit 'v1.11-871-geb147a1'. (Makefile.am): Do not add `@LEXLIB@' to `$(LDADD)', as we define our own `yywrap' function. * tests/lex.test (tscan.l): In `yywrap', return 1, not 0, for consistency with the default flex implementation. * tests/lex-libobj.test (yywrap.c): Likewise. * tests/lex-subobj-nodep.test (s1.l): Likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test (foo.c): Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-gcc (foo.l): Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-generic (foo.l): Likewise. * tests/silent-many-gcc (foo5.l): Likewise. * tests/silent-many-generic (foo5.l): Likewise. * tests/lex-lib.test (mu.c): Likewise. Update heading comments, to refer to ... * tests/lex-lib-external.test: ... this new test, which checks that we can get use the `yywrap' function from a system-wide library, if that's available.
Stefano Lattarini eb147a19 2011-05-25T19:05:15 lex tests: avoid spurious failures when LEXLIB isn't found 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 might be (partly) 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 in Linux->MinGW cross compilations). But at this point is clear that a proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers. * tests/cond35.test: Provide a dummy `yywrap' function. * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-gcc.test: Likewise, and a dummy `main' too. * tests/silent-lex-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-lib.test: New test. * tests/lex-libobj.test: New test. * tests/lex-nowrap.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * THANKS: Update. Thanks to Russ Allbery for the suggestion.
