| 1d35638b | 2024-06-07 08:41:45 | maint: spelling and whitespace fixes Most of these spelling fixes are just to comments and documentation. However, some affect tests as follows: * t/cond36.sh (tparse.h): Fix misspelling of dependency. * t/disthook.sh: Fix misspelling of file. * t/help3.sh: Fix misspelling of long option. * t/instdir-ltlib.sh: Fix misspellings of macro names.

| 0d49ecb2 | 2024-05-21 09:54:35 | doc: test-driver option args are separate words. For https://bugs.gnu.org/70638. As now mentioned in the manual, the description of the test-driver command-line interface has been wrong since 2011 when it was first added. The manual, and the driver usage messages themselves, have consistently shown option arguments joined to the option name with `=' characters, while the implementation of Automake has always provided option arguments in the following argument word, and the provided test drivers only accepted option arguments in the following argument word. Because Automake has never used the `=' syntax, there can't possibly be a working driver which actually follows the specification as written, so, despite the fierce language of the manual, we agreed that changing the specification was the right approach. The `test-driver' program's usage message has already been fixed (#22445), but the full extent of the problem wasn't noticed at that time. * doc/automake.texi (Command-line arguments for test drivers): Fix the table of options to show arguments passed as separate words; add footnote explaining this rather sorry situation. * doc/automake.texi (Use TAP with the Automake test harness): Remove `=' from documentation of `--diagnostic-string', because that was never acceptable either. * lib/tap-driver.sh: Fix usage message. * contrib/tap-driver.pl: Change usage message to match the defined protocol. (This implementation parses options using Perl's `Getopt::Long' module, so it accepts the `=' syntax as specified, but this program isn't actually used.) | ||

| f15852df | 2023-01-03 21:46:38 | rm: convert more cases to am__rm_f Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/10828. Clean up a few more cases where we were doing `test ... || rm ...` to avoid calling `rm -f` without arguments by leveraging am__rm_f. These were harder to find in the source due to their constructed nature. The clean programs rules in particular were much more complicated than they needed to be. This logic boiled down to two things: delete the list of programs, and then delete the list without the exeext suffix, but only if the list of programs is non-empty. The check-TESTS rule was converted to am__rm_f, but a simplification was missed where the $list variable is inlined. * bin/automake.in: Delete test -z logic and always call am__rm_f. * contrib/check-html.am: Use $(am__rm_f) helper. * doc/automake.texi: Update examples to match current behavior. * lib/am/check.am: Inline $list variable. * lib/am/progs.am: Rewrite rule to use $(am__rm_f). | ||

| a6d6734f | 2013-12-24 16:27:28 | TAP driver: remove perl implementation (move it into contrib/) That implementation was only meant as a standard against which the portable awk+shell implementation was to be measured. Now, since Automake 1.12, the latter implementation is fully functional and already used in the wild, and in fact feature-par with the perl implementation. So the perl implementation is now just slowing down and complicating our testsuite. Let's move it to 'contrib/' (we don't want to remove it, in case someone is actually using it in the wild). * lib/tap-driver.pl: Move it ... * contrib/tap-driver.pl: ... here. While at it, convert quoting `like this' to quoting 'like this', and remove an obsolescent FIXME comment. * lib/Makefile.inc (dist_script_DATA): Drop '%D%/tap-driver.pl'. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add 'contrib/tap-driver.pl'. * doc/automake.texi: Remove one stray reference to 'tap-driver.pl', and reference 'tap-driver.sh' instead, as intended. * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh ($am_tap_implementation): Delete definition and uses.

| ffd4ecc9 | 2013-05-20 11:23:01 | tests: better idiom to override make macro defs on the cmdline We now do so with a new wrapper shell function 'run_make()', which relies on the use of AM_MAKEFLAGS, avoiding the use of the '-e' make option. The use of that option (that causes the environment variables to take precedence over the macro definitions in the Makefile) has proved to be quite brittle in the past, causing annoying and sometimes problematic spurious failures. This has worsened in some still unpublished work going on in development branches. It's time to solve the issue once and for all. Note that we do not convert all uses of $MAKE in the testsuite right away; we might do so in follow-up changes, with leisure, to avoid a "patch bomb" effect (this commit is already too much of a bomb itself). What we do in this commit is to get rid of all "$MAKE -e" invocations. We admit that the implementation and feature-set of 'run_make()' are far from perfect, but good enough for our current purposes. We'll improve 'run_make()' if and when the need arises. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_no_make_e): New syntax check, guard against the use of "$MAKE -e". (syntax_check_rules): Add it. (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): Adjust. (lint): New, alias for 'maintainer-check', for lazy typists. Idea backported from the 'maint' branch (Automake 1.13a). * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (run_make): New function. Run $MAKE with the given command-line arguments, handling command-line override of variable definitions in a smart way (using AM_MAKEFLAGS if a non-GNU make implementation is detected to be in use). (useless_vpath_rebuild): Adjust to use 'run_make', to avoid a spurious maintainer check failure. (yl_distcheck): Use 'run_make' rather than bare '$MAKE'. (single_quote, append_single_quoted, is_valid_varname): New auxiliary function, used, directly or indirectly, by it. * Many tests: Adjust to avoid the use of "$MAKE -e", and prefer the use of 'run_make' in few other contexts as well, where it makes sense. Other minor fixlets while at it. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | ||

| a4b0f4b5 | 2012-04-01 11:48:47 | maint: remove most recursion in automake's own build system Recursive make-based build systems tend to be slower, more fragile and less faithful than "flat" ones. See Peter Miller's article "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" for more a more in-depth discussion: <http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/> While in the case of automake this isn't a big problem (given the small size of its build systems), it still creates occasional glitches and annoyances. With this change, the use of recursion in Automake's own build system is eliminated *but for the testsuite*.

| c5df21e8 | 2012-01-17 19:48:06 | multilib: deprecate, will be moved to contrib As of 2012-01-17, according to Google codesarch, almost no active package is using the 'multilib' feature offered by automake. The only major exception seems to be GCC... But on a closer look, it become clear that GCC basically carries its own version of multilib support. In fact, Automake syncs its 'config-ml.in' and 'symlink-tree' scripts from GCC; and the GCC repository contains a version of the 'multi.m4' file that is *more* updated than the one in the automake repository (the former having being modified the last time in 2008, the latter only in 2006). The 'multilib' feature was anyway hardly documented at all, only being briefly cited in the manual as an "obscure feature", "still experimental", that was only for users "familiar with multilibs" and which "can debug problems they might encounter". We expect such users to be motivated and knowledgeable enough to make the minor adjustments required to start using the contrib version of multilib, if they really need to. * NEWS (Future backward incompatibility): Update. * doc/automake.texi: Deprecate multilib support. State that it will be removed from automake core in the next major release. * m4/multi.m4 (AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB): Deprecate. If called, now gives a proper warning in the 'obsolete' category (while still retaining its former behaviour for the rest). * tests/multilib.test: Update. * contrib/multilib/multi.m4: New, verbatim copy of the earlier version of multi.m4, without the new deprecation warning. * Makefile.am (fetch): Don't sync the 'config-ml.in' file nor the 'symlink-tree' script from GCC SVN repository anymore. (FETCHFILES): Adjust. (WGET_GCC): Remove, it's not needed anymore. | ||
| 0a9d201c | 2012-01-17 15:06:05 | check: move ".log -> .html" conversion in contrib That feature has been deprecated in the 1.11.x series, and marked for removal from the automake core in the 1.12 release. Here we implement such removal.
