3e887a13	2012-02-23 20:25:26	pm: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation This patch converts the internal perl modules used by automake and aclocal to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm, lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm, lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/General.pm, lib/Automake/Item.pm, lib/Automake/Rule.pm, lib/Automake/Getopt.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm, lib/Automake/Struct.pm, lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/Version.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Update and adjust quoting format throughout, in comments and diagnostic. Some minor related rewordings and reformatting since we are at it.
f8f22fea	2012-02-23 19:36:20	m4: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation This patch converts the files comprising the automake's own build system to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. * m4/auxdir.m4, m4/ccstdc.m4, m4/depend.m4, m4/depout.m4, m4/tar.m4, m4/init.m4, m4/maintainer.m4, m4/make.m4, m4/missing.m4, m4/vala.m4, m4/mkdirp.m4, m4/sanity.m4, m4/silent.m4, m4/strip.m4: Update and adjust quoting format throughout, in comments and diagnostic.

2d951983	2012-02-23 19:21:00	build: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation This patch converts the files implementing the automake's own build system to the use of new quoting format 'like this'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.
05613b2e	2012-02-23 15:40:31	hacking: update advice w.r.t. release process * HACKING: Don't describe the obsolete 'git-release' target anymore. Instead, document the new and improved targets 'git-tag-release' and 'git-upload-release' (introduced in commit v1.11-674-gaf5f939 of 25-01-2012, "release: revamp rules to tag and upload the releases").
88ac75a6	2012-02-23 15:27:36	hacking: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation * HACKING: Quote 'like this' or "like this", not `like this'. This is done for consistency with the new recommendations in the GNU Coding Standards, and because I've come to actually prefer the '...' and "..." quoting format over the `...' one.
de58d25e	2012-02-23 15:15:26	am: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation This patch converts the automake-provided '.am' fragments, and related files, to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. lib/am/check.am: Update quoting format throughout, in comments and diagnostic. Some related rewordings, reformatting, and removal of redundant commands since we are at it. * lib/am/configure.am: Likewise. * lib/am/dejagnu.am: Likewise. * lib/am/depend2.am: Likewise. * lib/am/distdir.am: Likewise. * lib/am/inst-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/install.am: Likewise. * lib/am/lang-compile.am: Likewise. * lib/am/lisp.am: Likewise. * lib/am/ltlib.am: Likewise. * lib/am/mans.am: Likewise. * lib/am/progs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Likewise. * lib/am/subdirs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/tags.am: Likewise. * lib/am/texi-vers.am: Likewise. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Likewise. * lib/am/texinfos.am: Likewise. * lib/am/yacc.am: Likewise.
5b44ce39	2012-02-23 13:07:57	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.
2dfeef41	2012-02-22 14:27:17	spy: "rm -f" and "rm -rf" without args are portable According to recent testing by Eric Blake, it seems that all non-museum rm(1) implementations don't complain if called without file operands, if the '-f' option is used. This behaviour will likely be mandated by future versions of the POSIX standard as well. We'd like to start assuming this rm(1) behaviour in future Automake releases, in order to simplify some automake-provided cleanup rules. So, for the moment, we add a new "spy" test in our test suite, to try ensuring that all the rm(1) implementation we encounter "in the wild" truly behaves as expected in this regard. For more references, see this discussion on the bug-autoconf list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2012-02/msg00002.html> which sprang from coreutils bug#10819: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10819> and brought to the POSIX issue#542: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=542> which has been accepted and will ensure that future version of the POSIX standards will mandate that 'rm' shouldn't complain if called without file operands, when the '-f' option is in use. * tests/spy-rm.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
66873b59	2012-02-22 12:30:38	tests: avoid spurious failures under "make distcheck" * tests/tap-setup.sh: Pass also '-f' option to 'cp' invocations, so that files that have already been copied in without write permissions will still be overwritten where needed, instead of causing a spurious testsuite failure. Issue seen when the testsuite is run under "distcheck". * tests/defs (get_shell_script): Remove target file before overwriting it, for the same reason. Rework code flow a bit since we are at it.
e5e6fa03	2012-02-22 11:30:54	fixup: avoid spurious failure for 'parallel-tests-many.test' * tests/parallel-tests-many.test: Adjust grepping of "make check" and "make recheck" output to match the new format of the testsuite summary. Remove redundant 'set -e' call since we are at it.
db973eaa	2012-02-21 19:47:36	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.
0f99c10d	2011-12-28 22:37:44	coverage: expose automake bug#7868 Expose the command-line length limit issue that can affect the Automake-generated parallel-tests harness, especially on systems where this limit is smaller (e.g., MinGW/MSYS). Suggestion by Bob Friesenhahn. * tests/parallel-tests-many.test: New test. We have verified that it actually exposes the bug#7868, as it passes when we opportunely reduce the number of test cases in $(TESTS). Checked on NetBSD 5.1 64bit, Debian unstable 32bit, Solaris 10 64bit and Cygwin 1.5 32bit. * tests/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Add it. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
6a53d19c	2012-02-21 22:19:16	tests: remove obsoleted "icc" requirement * tests/defs (icc): This requirement is not used anymore by any test case, so remove it.
31c621cd	2012-02-21 19:23:50	readme: fix typo in tests/README
a537fbe6	2012-02-21 14:06:25	tests: "make installcheck" shouldn't run the testsuite twice * Makefile.am (installcheck-local): Remove. The "installcheck" target provided by automake is already a recursive target, so there's no need to have an 'installcheck-local' recipe that manually recurse into 'tests/'. In fact, such a manual recursion was causing the testsuite to be run twice by "make installcheck".
74880502	2012-02-21 13:33:27	news: minor fixlets and reorganization * NEWS: Get rid of form-feed characters (^L) throughout the file. Use separator lines instead (composed by 76 '~' characters), or just an extra blank lines for older less verbose entries (those predating the 1.8 release). (New in 1.11.3): Move description of planned future backward incompatibilities that won't make it to 1.12 ... (New in 1.11a): ... in here. Quote 'like this', not `like this'. Other minor miscellaneous rewordings and fixlets.

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.
82616f0b	2012-02-20 14:04:46	tests: fix a timestamp issue, and other minor buglets Reported by Panther Martin in automake bug#10848. * tests/conffile-leading-dot.test: Add a proper '$sleep' invocation, to avoid spurious failures on fast systems without sub-second timestamp resolutions. Add other minor related and unrelated improvements and fixlets since we are at it.
101216ca	2012-02-19 18:43:28	automake: new option to print location of scripts and data files With this change, we add a new automake option '--print-libdir' that prints (on stdout) the path of the directory containing the Automake-provided scripts (e.g., 'missing' and 'install-sh') and data files (e.g., INSTALL or texinfo.tex). Suggestion by Nick Bowler. See also automake bug#10473. * automake.in (parse_arguments): Handle the new option. (usage): Mention it. * doc/automake.texi (automake Invocation): Document it. * NEWS: Update. * tests/print-dir.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
86deab4d	2012-02-19 17:12:55	docs: prefer the awk+sh TAP driver over the perl one We had completed our shell+awk implementation of the TAP driver months ago, but never documented it in the manual, continuing to document only the "prototype" written in perl instead. Time to fix this, before the 1.12 release. * doc/automake.texi (Use TAP with the Automake test harness): Now we document the use of the awk+shell implementation of our TAP driver, rather than of the perl one. * tests/tap-doc2.test: Adjust to use the shell+awk implementation of the TAP driver.
72cae0a5	2012-02-19 14:53:53	tests: be stricter in determining whether "make -jN" works * tests/parallel-tests3.test: With at least Solaris 10 CCS make, "make -jN" does not fail, but merely prints a warning about "DistributedMake -j option" being ignored. This was causing this test case to fail spuriously. So we now use a stricter check in determining whether make works in parallel mode. Since we are at it, we try to cater also to Sun Distributed make, which understands "-j N" but not "-jN".
0194d5e1	2012-02-19 11:48:08	tests: don't trust exit status of "make -k" * tests/parallel-tests-extra-programs.test: Unless $MAKE is GNU make, don't trust the exit status of "$MAKE -k". Fixes a spurious failure with OpenBSD 5.0 make and NetBSD 5.1 make.
ec94d594	2012-02-19 11:00:45	tests: fix race condition in 'self-check-dir.tap' * tests/self-check-dir.tap (do_check): Don't fail if "ls -l" fails.
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.
21af8bfd	2012-02-18 09:47:57	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 "$MAKE distcheck" to avoid extra failures caused by automake bug#7884. * tests/lex-noyywrap.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-libobj.test: Likewise. * tests/man6.test: This test suffers from the same FreeBSD make incompatibility in VPATH handling that is the source of automake bug#7884. Since this is caused by rules that are defined in the Makefile.am by the test itself, rather that being generated by automake, the best thing to do is to skip this test if we detect the presence of said make incompatibility (through the function 'useless_vpath_rebuild'). * tests/man8.test: Likewise.
0402db98	2012-02-18 09:26:30	cosmetics: remove extra trailing whitespace in configure.ac
8010df5d	2012-02-18 00:07:11	Merge branch 'yacc-quote-fix'
c11924b5	2012-02-17 23:50:30	tests: avoid spurious failure with FreeBSD make * tests/parallel-tests-extra-programs.test: FreeBSD make seems to write (some) diagnostic messages on stdout instead than on stderr, so now we also grep the stdout for the expected make diagnostic.
a7cc454d	2012-02-17 22:09:38	tests: fix broken quoting in the generated yacc grammar Fixes problem introduced by v1.11-1912-ge0906b7 "tests: avoid spurious failure with non-bison yacc" from 12-02-2012. * tests/suffix10.tap (Makefile.am): Avoid outer single quotes when we need to produce single quotes.
229f7712	2012-02-17 16:01:25	fixup: always use correct path for automake/aclocal wrappers Otherwise, bootstrapping from a git checkout won't work anymore. Issue introduced in today's commit 'v1.11-1974-ga98e58f'. * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Export PATH in a way that makes the automake and aclocal wrappers truly accessible (the location of this wrappers has been modified in a recent commit, but this makefile hadn't been updated accordingly). (update_mans): Likewise.
03493884	2012-02-17 15:32:10	tests: fix spurious failure in VPATH build * tests/self-check-dir.tap: Adjust to handle running in a VPATH build correctly.
a98e58ff	2012-02-17 15:20:03	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.
44737ebc	2012-02-17 13:46:53	tests: relax a test to cater to NetBSD make * tests/parallel-tests-empty-testlogs.test: When $(TESTS) is empty, NetBSD 5.1 make ends up defining $(TESTS_LOGS) to ".log" rather than to the empty string (as would be expected). This behaviour was causing a check in this test case to fail. But that check was in fact overly strict, since our recipes are smart enough to work around the botched-up substitution. Also, the failure wasn't a regression from Automake 1.11, since that version too would have triggered the same error with NetBSD 5.1 make. So we just relax the test a little to avoid extra noise in the testsuite.
b5788178	2012-02-17 13:29:19	Merge branch 'maint' * maint: dryrun: $(am__dry_run) not confused by metachars in $(MAKEFLAGS)
4df475a2	2012-02-17 11:52:13	dryrun: $(am__dry_run) not confused by metachars in $(MAKEFLAGS) * lib/am/header-vars.am (am__make_dryrun): Be smarter and more correct in handling shell metacharacters in $(MAKEFLAGS).
622a348e	2012-02-17 13:14:57	tests: TAP-based tests should error if no plan was specified After this change, it will still be OK for TAP-based tests not to report any explicit TAP plan -- but they should state explicitly that they want to do so, by calling the 'plan_' function with a proper argument (currently, either "later" or "unknonwn"). Motivated by a recent issue introduced by yesterday's commit 'v1.11-1959-g0699a84' (pointed out by Peter Rosin, and fixed by follow-up commit 'v1.11-1961-gea44190'). * tests/tap-functions.sh (plan_): Get rid of '$have_tap_plan_', and refactor use and initialization of '$planned_' in a way that will allow client script to get more information on which kind of plan (if any) has been declared by the former 'plan_' invocation. (skip_all_): Adjust. * tests/defs (exit trap): Only print the "lazy" TAP plan if 'plan_' has requested that explicitly. * syntax-check.mk (sc_tests_tap_plan): Remove: it's obsolete now, since a TAP-based test that doesn't call 'plan_' explicitly won't print any TAP plan, and the TAP driver will catch that and report an error. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
0f858eab	2012-02-17 10:57:37	tests: expose $(am__dry_run) limitations Currently, the internal $(am__dry_run) macro can fail in weird ways when $(MAKEFLAGS) contains shell metacharacters. Let's expose this limitation in the testsuite (and fix a couple of related weaknesses since we are at it). * tests/make-dryrun.test: Moved ... * tests/make-dryrun.tap: ... here, converted to TAP, and extended to expose the described limitations. Also ... (am_parallel_tests): Define this so that the 'gen-testsuite-part' script won't generate a useless wrapper script. * test/list-of-tests.mk: Update.
e5da4fbf	2012-02-17 10:23:26	cosmetics: fix commit message typo in previous * .git-log-fix: The file is called .git-log-fix, nothing else.
22729165	2012-02-17 10:13:15	fixup: .git-log-fix should not be executable * .fix-git-log: Set mode 644.
72b68766	2012-02-17 09:52:07	maint: support amending the generated ChangeLog, and fix a typo * Makefile.am (gitlog_to_changelog_options): Add support for amending the generated ChangeLog. (EXTRA_DIST): Update. * .git-log-fix: New file with things to amend to the generated ChangeLog, starting with a fix for a typo in v1.11-1963-g3b369e6 "maint: use AC_PACKAGE_BUGREPORT to avoid duplication" from yesterday.
d74d525c	2012-02-16 23:14:00	cosmetics: normalize copyright notice in some tests * tests/lisp3.test: Normalize copyright notice to read the same of that of other tests. * tests/lisp4.test: Likewise. * tests/lisp5.test: Likewise. * tests/lisp6.test: Likewise. * tests/lisp7.test: Likewise. * tests/lisp8.test: Likewise. * tests/lispdry.test: Likewise.
a3756f96	2012-02-16 22:30:52	readme: fix grammaro Reported by Eric Blake. * README: Use "also has" instead of "has also"; the former sounds better to a native speaker.
3b369e6b	2012-02-16 22:29:32	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.
85b70d15	2012-02-16 21:54:51	readme: update and renew * README: Remove stale or now-obvious description and advices. Add reference to the INSTALL file. Some minor rewordings.
ea441902	2012-02-16 20:49:43	depcomp tests: fix up today's botched commit Today's commit 'v1.11-1959-g0699a84' has caused the generated 'depcomp.tap' tests to call the 'plan_' function before* it is defined, and has also caused the extra checks required for better libtool coverage to be run only when libtool is not in use, rather than the other way around. Fix this mess. Report by Peter Rosin. * tests/gen-testsuite-part: Include './defs' in the generated tests, rather than doing so from 'depcomp.sh'. Adjust the count of TAP tests for 'depcomp-lt-auto.test' (it's 84, not 72). * tests/depcomp.sh: Adjust accordingly, and fix inverted logic about the decision of when to run extra checks for libtool.
86e9e0e3	2012-02-16 19:52:37	build: clearer diagnostic if "make" is invoked before "./configure" Since a GNUmakefile wrapper has been introduced in our build system, a "make" invocation issued before a "./configure" one has caused GNU make to die with the cryptic message: GNUmakefile:18: Makefile: No such file or directory GNUmakefile:19: /syntax-checks.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/syntax-checks.mk'. Stop. * GNUmakefile: Detect when we are being run from an unconfigured tree, and give helpful diagnostic.
0699a84a	2012-02-16 19:08:58	depcomp tests: put TAP plan in generated tests This avoids a spurious maintcheck failure, and also simplifies the 'depcomp.sh' helper script a little. * tests/gen-testsuite-part: Create and place also a proper 'plan_' call (to emit the TAP plan) in each generated 'depmod.tap' test. tests/depcomp.sh: Remove 'plan_' invocations, and simplify a little since we are at it.
3614a17d	2012-02-16 18:53:09	update-copyright: don't touch COPYING and INSTALL Reported by Peter Rosin. * update-copyright: Also exclude the COPYING and INSTALL files found in the top-level directory. * COPYING, INSTALL: Revert update of copyright years done in today's commit 'v1.11-1948-g641a5a4'.
f76cb63c	2012-02-16 18:44:13	maintcheck: whitelist some false positives Instead of tweaking or dumbing down some of our sources or tests in order not to make them spuriously trigger few maintainer checks, we tweak such checks instead. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): Also allow the variable 'exp' to be overridden on the make command line. Whitelist the test 'make-dryrun.test' where appropriate. (sc_mkinstalldirs): When whitelisting the 'mkinstalldirs' occurrence in 'lib/Makefile.am', do not look for the exact line number: it is obviously too fragile.
8817647e	2012-02-16 13:36:25	tests: avoid spurious failure with parallel make * tests/parallel-tests-extra-programs.test: Run make with the '-k' option where appropriate, to ensure it doesn't stop at the first error, which would prevent the building of the extra programs we expect it to build.
4bcab4a0	2012-02-16 12:30:23	tests: avoid spurious failure on older Cygwin * tests/tap-signal.tap: Sending a SIGQUIT on Cygwin 1.5 can cause a segmentation fault instead (sometimes at least). Don't let this older bug pollute the results of our testsuite.

ab42f4a4	2012-02-16 11:31:55	tests: avoid spurious failure in 'suffix3.tap' * tests/suffix3.tap (foo.zoo): This C++ file fails to compile with older g++ (3.4.4) on Cygwin 1.5.25 if we #include <iostream>. Don't do that, since it's not strictly required, and the "using namespace" directive is already enough to ensure the file contents is valid C++ but invalid C.

Issue revealed by a failure of 'cscope.test' with Solaris 10 CCS make. * doc/automake.texi (Tags): Document the limitations of the cscope support. Couple of fixlets to formatting since we are at it. * tests/cscope.test: Converted to TAP, and thus moved ... * tests/cscope.tap: ... here. Only run tests with VPATH builds when using GNU make. Adjust so that no C, C++, Fortran or Java compiler, nor any Emacs program, will be required to run this test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.

02ce5d5a	2012-02-14 19:26:29	tests: avoid ksh bug for wildcards in EXTRA_DIST Some shells, like NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh, have a bug that causes wildcards resulting from an unquoted parameter expansion not to be expanded as expected in some cases: $ touch a b c d $ /bin/sh -c 'var="[ab]" && echo $var' # As expected. a b $ /bin/ksh -c 'var="[ab]" && echo $var' # Oops. [ab] $ /bin/ksh -c 'var="?" && echo $var' # But this as expected. a b c d This was causing a failure in our testsuite. Work around that. See also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-02/msg00149.html> * tests/extra11.test: Work around the described issue by using the $(wildcard) builtin in the EXTRA_DIST definition. This is not a problem, since this test was assuming GNU make anyway. Since we are at it, enhance coverage a little by also running "make distcheck". * tests/extra10.test: Similarly, enhance coverage by also running "make distcheck", and fix a minor bug in the process. But continue using a "bare" wildcard expression in EXTRA_DIST, without involving the $(wildcard) builtin, to ensure coverage of similar usages "in the wild".

b42514b4	2012-02-14 10:11:02	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.

79b2c6a5	2012-02-14 00:14:36	tests: avoid yet other spurious failures on NetBSD * tests/tap-signal.tap: Add a "strategically placed" extra 'echo' command and a temporary silencing of xtraces; they are required to avoid possible garbled output with NetBSD make, which would miss some final newlines in the expected places and thus mess up our TAP output.
ee07d992	2012-02-13 23:54:24	tests: avoid a spurious failure on NetBSD * tests/test-driver-is-distributed.test: Rewrite to avoid having to edit configure.in; such editing was subtly botched on NetBSD (the 'AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR' call got misplaced, ending up before the 'AC_INIT' call), and that caused an hard-to-track bug. Since we are at it, extend coverage a little.
36eef89b	2012-02-13 22:24:35	tests: avoid spurious failure with NetBSD /bin/ksh * tests/parallel-tests-fd-redirect-exeext.test (configure.in): Tweak so that we don't end up with the generated configure script having two nested subshells that start with '((': ((./conftest$EXEEXT 9>&1) \| grep "^foobar") >&5 2>&5 which is unportable and could confuse some shells (e.g., NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh) into thinking we are trying to perform an arithmetic operation.
b3f34caa	2012-02-13 21:21:48	tests: increase coverage for depcomp tests On platforms requiring that no undefined symbols exist in order to build shared libraries (e.g. Windows DLLs), you have to explicitly declare that the libtool library you are building does not actually have any undefined symbols, for libtool to even try to build it as a shared library. Without that explicit declaration, libtool falls back to a static library only, regardless of any --enable-shared flags etc. tests/depcomp.sh (Makefile.am): Add -no-undefined if a libtool library (.la) is built. (src/Makefile.am): Likewise.

0b34421d	2012-02-12 16:37:44	tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function 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 is 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 on Fedora-based systems). The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back implementation of 'yywrap' in our lexers. See also similar commits 'v1.11-546-gca0ba5d' (24-10-2011), 'v1.11-1085-gb5c3968' (24-10-2011) and 'v1.11-871-geb147a1' (25-05-2011). * tests/lex-clean.test: Provide a dummy 'yywrap' function. * tests/lex-line.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-nodist.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-depend.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-clean-cxx.test: Move the dummy 'yywrap' function from the main '.cc' file into the '.lxx' file, so that it won't be subject to the namespace declaration in the '.cc' file (which was causing a spurious link error in systems without a default "lex library").

This change is made more advisable and pressing by the fact that such and "Automake history" chapter hasn't been updated since the 1.9.6 release, so it has been becoming less faithful and useful since then. * doc/history.texi: New, manual on the history of the automake package; extracted from ... * doc/automake.texi: ... this file, with related adjustments. * doc/Makefile.am (info_TEXINFOS): Add 'history.texi'.

19bab325	2012-02-08 13:21:58	depcomp tests: avoid redundant runs for libtool tests When running libtool-oriented tests, our 'depcomp.sh' script used to run the same checks thrice: once after having run configure with the '--disable-shared' option, once after having run it with the '--enable-shared' option, and once by allowing configure to automatically select which kind of library (or libraries) to build. This was done to offer extra coverage for the less-common depmodes (like "aix" of "hp2") where the name of the compiler-generated depfiles can depend on whether libtool is in use and on which kind of libraries libtool is building (static, shared, or both). About this, see commit 'Release-1-10-24-ge89ec38' of 28-03-2007, "* lib/depcomp (aix): Rewrite depmode in the spirit of the tru64 one". But that extra coverage came at the price of considerably slowing down the depcomp libtool-oriented tests, since for each of them the tested source tree was configured and built twelve times (rather than "just" four as it is for the non-libtool case). So, to strike a balance between coverage and speed, we now run the libtool-oriented tests with the three different configuration modes only when it is possible that the depmode that will get selected is one of those which can actually benefit from the extra coverage. * tests/depcomp.sh: Adjust to only run the threefold libtool tests when that can truly be potentially useful. Add related explanatory comments.
