fa104579 2012-07-14 16:57:02 ylwrap: fix C++ support for Bison Fixes automake bug#7648. The current logic of ylwrap is to call yacc in a sub directory, and pull out of it all the files that were requested on its command line. Reverse this approach: export *all* the files created in the subdirectory, but rename them according to what the command says. This way, extra files, such as position.hh, location.hh and stack.hh for C++ parsers, but also parser.xml or parser.dot if XML or Dot output is enabled, will be preserved. * lib/ylwrap (pairlist): Remove. (main loop): Don't loop over pairlist, but over the files in the temporary directory. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Fixes t/yacc-bison-skeleton-cxx.sh. * THANKS (James Bostock): Add, he reported bug#7648.

be2bb639 2012-07-13 14:32:22 ylwrap: rename header inclusion in generated parsers Some types of Bison parsers, such as the GLR ones, generate a header file that they include. ylwrap, which renames the generated files, does not rename the included file. Fix this shortcoming, reported for instance here: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2012-06/msg00033.html>. Fixes t/yacc-bison-skeleton.sh, see Automake bug#7648 and PR automake/491. * lib/ylwrap (quote_for_sed): Accept arguments. Catch more special characters. (rename_sed): New. Improve the previous renaming sed commands using quote_for_sed. Suggested by Stefano Lattarini here: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-07/msg00095.html>. (main loop): Use rename_sed to rename the dependencies to other files. * t/yacc-d-basic.sh: Exercise this case, even if bison/yacc was not issuing such an include. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Adjust.
1a871ca0 2012-07-12 15:13:29 ylwrap: simplify the list of renamings * lib/ylwrap (pairwise): Instead of being a straightforward copy from the command line arguments, and having to deal with y.tab vs. y_tab later, let pairwise store the real file names to process, y_tab conversion included when needed. (main loop): Use $to instead of $2, for symmetry with $from.

bab7065f 2012-07-06 22:43:04 distcheck: never make part of $(distdir) world-writable This fixes a locally-exploitable security vulnerability (CVE-2012-3386). In the 'distcheck' rule, we used to make the just-extracted (from the distribution tarball) $(distdir) directory and all its files and subdirectories read-only; then, in order to create the '_inst' and '_build' subdirectories in there (used by the rest of the recipe) we made the top-level $(distdir) *world-writable* for an instant (the time to create those two directories) before making it read-only again. Making that directory world-writable (albeit only briefly) introduced a locally exploitable race condition for those who run "make distcheck" with a non-restrictive umask (e.g., 022) in a directory that is accessible by others. A successful exploit would result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running "make distcheck" -- game over. Jim Meyering wrote a proof-of-concept script showing that such exploit is easily implemented. This issue is similar to the CVE-2009-4029 vulnerability: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2009-12/msg00012.html> * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Don't make $(distdir) world-writable, not even for an instant; make it user-writable instead, which is enough.

The new implementation is shorter, slightly more efficient (requiring less forks), less brittle in the face of signals or unexpected interruptions in the make process, and should also be easier to merge in the 'ng/master' branch (as of now, due to the difficulties in merging our previous version of the fix in the 'ng/master' codebase, Automake-NG still lacks a fix for bug#11791).

2a3e45d6 2012-06-27 12:47:17 parallel-tests: "recheck" behaves better in case of compilation failures With this change, the "recheck" target behaves better in the face of build failures related to previously failed tests. For example, if a test is a compiled program that must be rerun by "make recheck", and its compilation fails, that test will still be rerun by further "make recheck" invocations. Previously, its '.log' and '.trs' would have both been lost, so that the test would have not been re-run.

ec6a1357 2012-06-10 23:08:07 subdirs: unify rules for "cleaning" and "normal" recursive targets Before this change, the recursive invocation of cleaning targets in the $(SUBDIRS) where done in inverse order, i.e., starting from the last $(SUBDIRS) entry and proceeding towards the first. According to the code comments, this was done ... ... in an attempt to alleviate a problem that can happen when dependencies are enabled. In this case, the .P file in one directory can depend on some automatically generated header in an earlier directory. Since the dependencies are required before any target is examined, make bombs. But this comment does not apply anymore to the current implementation of automatic dependency tracking: the '.Po' and '.Plo' files does not depend on any C header or source file, ever! So it seems that the distinction between "normal" and "cleaning" recursive targets is a stale leftover of an older implementation of the automatic dependency tracking. In fact, the Automake History manual seems to confirm this suspect; the section "First Take on Dependency Tracking" reads: Because each .P file was a dependency of Makefile, this meant that dependency tracking was done eagerly by make. For instance, "make clean" would cause all the dependency files to be updated, and then immediately removed. This eagerness also caused problems with some configurations; if a certain source file could not be compiled on a given architecture for some reason, dependency tracking would fail, aborting the entire build. and the following section "Dependencies As Side Effects" reads: In this approach, the .P files were included using the -include command, which let us create these files lazily. This avoided the "make clean" problem. So the distinction between "normal" and "cleaning" recursive targets has likely been obsolete since by then already. We can thus remove such distinction, thus reducing some complications and duplication in our rules. Doing so, the whole testsuite still passes (both with GCC and Sun C 5.9), even the test 'c-demo.sh', which, among the other things, exercise the setup described in the obsolete code comment referenced above. Finally, note that we still keep '$(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)' and '$(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)' as two distinct variables, to ensure a better backward-compatibility for any user-defined rules that happen to use those variables. * NEWS: Update. * lib/am/subdirs.am ($(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS), $(CLEAN_TARGETS)): Merge their recipes. * t/subdir-distclean.sh: New test, check that "./configure && make && make distclean" is actually a no-op, even when conditional SUBDIRS are involved. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

96497293 2012-06-01 19:15:29 maint: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input It has been years since that has been deprecated in the documentation, in favour of 'configure.ac': Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name configure.in, which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to process this file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight confusion with config.h.in and so on (for which '.in' means "to be processed by configure"). Using configure.ac is now preferred. It's now time to start giving runtime warning about the use of 'configure.in', so that support for it can be removed in future versions of autoconf/automake. See also, in the Autoconf repository, commit 'v2.69-4-g560f16b' of 2012-05-23, "general: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input". * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Issue a warning in the 'obsolete' category if 'configure.in' is detected.

b6359a5f 2012-05-16 18:16:41 ylwrap: preserve subdirectories in "#line" munging If Automake is used in non-recursive mode and one of the inputs is a yacc file, for example, "src/grammar.y", ylwrap will remove too many directories from the output file when it adjusts the paths in it. This results in #line directives referring to "grammar.y" instead of "src/grammar.y". This is a result of $input_rx simply taking all the directory components of the absolute input path and removing them. One solution is to store the path passed to ylwrap and replace $input_rx with it. This is what we do. Suggestion and initial patch (without tests) by Nikolai Weibull: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-05/msg00013.html> Final patch by Stefano Lattarini. * lib/ylwrap ($input_sub_rx): New.

b105d40d 2012-04-30 20:44:50 color-tests: coloring can be forced on non-ANSI terminals as well Before this change, colorization of testsuite output was suppressed whenever the terminal was recognized to be a "dumb" one, incapable of handling ANSI coloring (i.e., when the environment variable TERM had a value of "dumb"). This happened even when the AM_COLOR_TESTS variable was set to a value of "always". Such a behaviour was suboptimal and slightly confusing; in fact, if a user wants to force coloring of testsuite output that is being redirected to a regular file, he should be able to do so even if his terminal is not capable of handling ANSI colors -- in fact, such terminal wouldn't be involved with the testsuite output in any way, so why should it be allowed to influence it? Thus, we now enable coloring of test output whenever AM_COLOR_TESTS is set to "always", irrespective of the value of the TERM environment variable. * NEWS: Update. * lib/am/check.am [%?COLOR%] (am__tty_colors): Activate colorization of testsuite output whenever AM_COLOR_TESTS has the value of "always". * t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh: Export the TERM environment variable to "dumb" when forcing colorization of the testsuite output; this should *not* prevent such colorization from taking place, and we want to check that this expectation really holds. * t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise. * t/color.sh: Likewise, and adjust some grepping checks. * t/tap-color.sh: Likewise. Also, remove redundant "make check" invocation since we are at it. * t/color2.sh: Likewise, and check that exporting TERM=dumb actually prevents testsuite output colorization when AM_COLOR_TESTS is unset. * t/parallel-tests-reset-term.sh: Relax, to prevent it from failing spuriously due to the new semantic.

f46359b4 2012-04-18 11:40:15 parallel-tests: 'recheck' must depend on 'all' Fixes automake bug#11252. When a developer experience one or more failures in the testsuite, a good workflow is for him to modify its program's sources to fix the bug thus revealed, run "make recheck" to verify that the change has indeed solved the testsuite failures previously experienced, and then run "make check" to verify that the change has not introduced any new failure or regression. Unfortunately, this apparently natural workflow couldn't have worked until now, since the Automake-provided 'recheck' target (which didn't depend on 'all') wouldn't have causes the program to be recompiled, and the failed tests would have thus been run with the older, buggy version of the program, failing the same way as before. * lib/am/check.am (recheck): Depend on 'all'. * t/parallel-tests-recheck-depends-on-all.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * NEWS: Update.

GNU automake used to support shell parameter expansion and command substitutions in installation directories, but that was inadvertently broken by commit v1.11-759-g368f1c4 "install: don't create empty dirs when an empty 'foo_PRIMARY' is used" of 18-03-2012, where shell quoting of generated MKDIR_P command was changed from double to single quotes in 3 places, while some 21 other places still use double quotes for generated MKDIR_P commands. * lib/am/data.am: Use double quotes for generated "mkdir -p" commands. * lib/am/libs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/ltlib.am: Likewise.

9fe2ba38 2012-04-01 21:55:09 texinfo: don't clutter the builddir when using modern texi2dvi In modern versions of texi2dvi (at least since version 1.135, which comes with Texinfo 4.13) the '-o' option does not imply anymore the '--clean' option. As a consequence, lots of TeX-generated auxiliary files are now left in the build directory by the 'pdf', 'ps' and 'dvi' rules. This is especially annoying with non-recursive setups having the '.texi' files in a subdirectory, as in: info_TEXINFOS = doc/foo.texi In this case, the stray auxiliary files are left in the top build directory (since TeX is run from there).

3856a940 2012-03-28 14:31:36 acinstall: remove, it has never been really used Accordingly to the git history (see for example the 'README-alpha' in commit 'Release-1-1e-39-g9beb4ec' of 06-10-1996), the 'acinstall' script should have been used to install m4 files for aclocal. The comments in this script report that "... A script is needed to do this because we want to do serial-number checking; newer versions of macro files should always be preferred". But the 'acinstall' script has never been really used: for example, the entry "actually use acinstall program" was removed (unfixed) from the TODO file in commit 'Release-1-1k-12-g1201405' of 08-12-1996, and the only citation of 'acinstall' in the manual was removed in commit 'Release-1-1l-37-g128c3d7' of 19-03-1997, and never added back. In addition, the last non-trivial edit to the script (that is, besides updates to the copyright notice) dates back to 1996. More importantly, now that aclocal supports the ACLOCAL_PATH environment variable, installing m4 files directly in the system-wide acdir is discouraged, and better left only to distros' package managers (which already have their own way to do so, with which third-party build systems should not directly meddle). So we just remove the 'acinstall' script. * lib/acinstall: Remove. * lib/Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Update. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

b96263e1 2012-03-27 17:55:07 depcomp: support tcc (Tiny C Compiler) This change fixes automake bug#11007. Since git commit 0c928da9 of 21-06-2010, "tcc: Draft suppoprt for -MD/-MF options" (sic, with typo in summary line), tcc has supported automatic dependency generation with a command-line interface similar to what old (pre-8.0) Intel compilers did. This caused Automake-generated code for automatic dependency tracking to recognize tcc dependency style as "icc". However, the format of the dependency files generated by tcc is apparently different enough from that of icc to cause spurious failures in the post-processing operated by our 'depcomp' script on such files. The failure was exposed with the development version of tcc 0.9.26 (as installed with debian package "tcc 0.9.26~git20120104.83d") by test case 'depcomp-auto.tap' (available only in the master branch). * lib/depcomp (icc): Cater to tcc as well.

368f1c4c 2012-03-16 23:48:53 install: don't create empty dirs when an empty 'foo_PRIMARY' is used Fixes automake bug#11030 and bug#10997. An empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" in a Makefile.am used to cause the generated install rules to create the directory $(foodir) anyway, even if nothing was to be installed there. While this could be seen as a convenient way to create a $(foodir) directory upon "make install" (respecting $(DESTDIR) settings and such), it also caused problems with conditionals; for example, an input of: if FALSE pgkdata_DATA = something endif caused the generated install rules to unconditionally create the $(pkgdatadir) directory (see automake bug#10997). Also, a user wanting to create an empty directory upon installation can easily do so with a custom install hook, as in: installdirs-local: $(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(foodir) install-data-hook: installdirs-local On the other hand, the old behavior of "always create $(foodir), even if 'foo_PRIMARY' is empty" was harder and more tricky to override.

3a814608 2012-03-07 21:08:06 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.

deb77738 2012-02-20 18:33:50 automake: new option 'serial-tests' Currently, automake offers a 'parallel-tests' option to enable the use of the parallel testsuite harness in the generated Makefiles, but no option to explicitly state the intention of using the older serial testsuite driver (which is currently the default). This makes the parallel test harness seems like a second-class citizen (while actually it should be the other way around); more importantly, it will prevent us from making the parallel harness be the default one in future automake versions, since the users of the serial harness would then have no way to instruct automake to continue using it. We solve all of this by introducing a new 'serial-tests' option. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Recognize the new option, and related minor refactoring. * tests/serial-tests.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * doc/automake.texi: Update. * NEWS: Likewise.
e1606b32 2012-02-18 13:59:26 parallel-tests: fix another BSD parallel make issue When BSD make is run in parallel mode, it apparently strips any leading directory component from the automatic variable '$*' (of course, against what POSIX mandates). This was causing FreeBSD 9.0 make and NetBSD 5.1 make to spuriously fail with automake-generated test harnesses if subdir tests were present *and* make was being run in parallel mode. This issue affected also the Automake own testsuite. * lib/am/check2.am (am__set_b): New internal variable. (%OBJ%, %EXT%.log, %EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): Use it to work around the described BSD make issue. * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Enhanced to expose the bug. * tests/parallel-tests-subdir.test: Enhance a little, since we are at it. * NEWS: Update.

8dd50099 2012-02-15 19:00:10 fixup: distribute 'lib/update-copyright' While the 'update-copyright' script shouldn't be needed by final users, that's not a good reason to keep it out by the distribution, as doing so might be unhelpful toward occasional but curious users interested in peeking into the automake build system. * lib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute 'update-copyright'.
