Stefano Lattarini 96497293 2012-06-01T19:15:29 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. Since this module is synced from Automake, this change is to be backported there (and will be soon). * t/help.sh: Adjust. * t/configure.sh: Adjust and enhance.

Nikolai Weibull b6359a5f 2012-05-16T18:16:41 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. When munging the #line directives, substitute '$input_rx' with it, instead of stripping it altogether. Adjust comments. * t/yacc-line.sh, t/lex-line: Adjust and extend. * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

Stefano Lattarini b105d40d 2012-04-30T20:44:50 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.

Stefano Lattarini f46359b4 2012-04-18T11:40:15 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.

Stefano Lattarini 9fe2ba38 2012-04-01T21:55:09 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). See for example: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2012-04/msg00002.html> See also automake bug#11146. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Call 'texi2dvi' and 'texi2pdf' with the '--clean' option.

Stefano Lattarini 3856a940 2012-03-28T14:31:36 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>

Stefano Lattarini b96263e1 2012-03-27T17:55:07 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.

Stefano Lattarini 368f1c4c 2012-03-16T23:48:53 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. Thus, from now on, an empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" will not cause the directory $(foodir) to be created upon "make install" anymore. * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/java.am, lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/ltlib.am, lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am, lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Adjust install rules to avoid creating an installation directory if no files are actually to be installed there. * tests/instdir-empty.test: Remove, it was testing a semantic opposite to the one we now want and implement. * tests/instdir-no-empty.test: New test, check the new semantic. * tests/instdir-cond.test: Enhance.

Peter Rosin 3a814608 2012-03-07T21:08:06 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.

Stefano Lattarini deb77738 2012-02-20T18:33:50 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.

Stefano Lattarini 947ce0ed 2012-02-07T11:12:59 dryrun: fix regression with '$(am__make_dryrun)' In commit v1.11-683-gda0964e of 05-02-2012, we introduced a new variable '$(am__make_dryrun)' that could be used in recipes to determine whether make is running in dry mode (e.g., as with "make -n"). Unfortunately, the idiom we used fails to take into account the case in which $(MAKEFLAGS) contains one or more variable definitions whose value is a whitespace-separated list; for example, if we invoke make as: make check TESTS="n1.test n2.test" then the better make implementations out there (at least modern GNU make and BSD make) will export MAKEFLAGS to the following value: TESTS=n1.test\ n2.test So a shell loop like the one we used in $(am__make_dryrun): for flag in $$MAKEFLAGS; do ... won't behave as expected: the shell word-splitting rules will break up the entry for TESTS into the two distinct entries "TESTS=n1.test\" and "n2.test", and this second entry will goad our $(am__make_dryrun) code into thinking that make is performing a dry run! So now we simply loop over the expanded value of $(MAKEFLAGS). This solves the regression, but alas, is more brittle in case the users passes on the command line a macro value containing unbalanced " or ' quotes, or shell metacharacters like, say, '`' or '('. This should almost never happen though, so we don't worry about it now; we will revisit the issue only when and if we receive bug reports in this area. * lib/am/header-vars.am (am__make_dryrun): Fix. * tests/make-dryrun.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.

Stefano Lattarini 2077a044 2012-02-02T14:51:59 tap/perl: handle missing or non-executable scripts better This change improves how our Perl-based TAP driver handles non-runnable test scripts (meaning they might be not executable, or not readable, or even not exist). In particular, it makes the driver deterministically display a clear "ERROR" result instead of possibly dying with diagnostic from 'TAP::Parser' internals, and prevents it from displaying spurious "missing TAP plan" errors. Moreover, with this change, some testsuite failures present only with newer perl versions (e.g., 5.14) are fixed. See automake bug#10418. * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: When testing the perl implementation of the TAP driver, and when the perl interpreter offers a good-enough 'IPC::Open3::open3' function, expect it not to display spurious "missing TAP plan" diagnostic if the error is actually due to a non-runnable test script. * lib/tap-driver.pl (start): Removed, broken up into ... (setup_io): ... this ... (setup_parser): ... and this, which now tries to catch and report errors in launching the test scripts. (finish): New, used by both 'main' and 'setup_parser'. (main): Adjust.

Stefano Lattarini c3e4962a 2012-01-31T12:52:24 cleanup: remove unused .am file * lib/am/comp-vars.am: Remove. This file has stopped being useful since commit 'Release-1-4d-206-g3334f9a' of 09-04-2001, and should have been removed back then. But apparently only its contents were removed, leaving the file empty but still present in the repository. Or maybe this situation is the consequence of a minor blunder in the conversion from CVS to Git; either way, this is not a big deal.

Peter Rosin 2a2f57fc 2012-01-30T23:19:03 ar-lib: ignore the verbose modifier instead of erroring out * lib/ar-lib: A number of tests uses the v modifier when listing the archive content, ignore it to make them pass.
Peter Rosin 41404a8f 2012-01-30T23:16:37 scripts: cherry-pick recent changes from master * lib/ar-lib: prefer the term "Windows" over "Win32" and quote 'like this', not `like this'. * lib/compile: Likewise.
Stefano Lattarini ef20e28b 2012-01-28T13:23:16 maintcheck: fix real and spurious warnings * lib/Makefile.am (install-data-hook): Correctly quote $(DESTDIR) occurrences. * Makefile.am (install-exec-hook, uninstall-hook): Likewise. (autodiffs): Prefer '$(am__cd)' to plain 'cd', where warranted. * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Likewise. Also, prefer using AC_SUBST'd $(abs_top_builddir) over obtaining it at runtime from $(top_builddir). * syntax-check.mk (sc_mkinstalldirs): Tweak to whitelist known harmless occurrences of the checked-against usages. (sc_no_for_variable_in_macro): Likewise. * tests/CheckListOfTests.am (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Tweak to avoid spuriously triggering the 'sc_no_for_variable_in_macro' maintainer check. Prefer '$(am__cd)' to plain 'cd' when warranted.
Stefano Lattarini bd34a47c 2012-01-21T11:33:44 multilib: move to contrib This follows up on commit v1.11-665-gc5df21e of 2012-01-17, "multilib: deprecate, will be moved to contrib". See also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-01/msg00109.html> * NEWS: Update. * automake.in ($seen_multilib): Remove. (scan_autoconf_traces): Don't trace 'AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB', and don't handle it anymore. (handle_multilib): Remove. (generate_makefile): Don't call it anymore. * doc/automake.texi: Remove documentation about multilib support, related macros, and helper files. * m4/multi.m4: Delete. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Remove it. * lib/am/multilib.am: Delete. * lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Remove it. * contrib/multilib/multilib.am: New file, adapted from extracts of a Makefile.in generated with automake multilib support. We did this instead of moving and editing 'lib/am/multilib.am' because it allows us to license this file with a liberal license that will permit users to copy-and-paste it in non-GPLed Makefile.am files too). * lib/symlink-tree, lib/config-ml.in: Move ... * contrib/multilib: ... in here. * lib/Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA, dist_pkgvdata_DATA): Update. * contrib/multilib/README: New file. * contrib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add the files created or moved in 'contrib/multlib'. * tests/multilib.test: Update and enhance a little. * tests/help-multilib.test: Likewise.
Stefano Lattarini e5ae760b 2012-01-21T20:52:43 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: fixup: distribute 'contrib/multilib/multi.m4' multilib: deprecate, will be moved to contrib fixlet: flags for Fortran77 compiler are in FFLAGS, not F77FLAGS cosmetics: fix a botched comment in a maintainer check
Stefano Lattarini 84fbf466 2012-01-20T20:52:02 fixlet: flags for Fortran77 compiler are in FFLAGS, not F77FLAGS This change fixes automake bug#10555. Note that the bug was a minor one, since it didn't affect the compilation rules generated by automake, but only only the "hints" printed by automake in some error messages (e.g., "The usual way to define `FFLAGS' is to add AC_PROG_F77 to configure.ac"). * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): The code generated by AC_PROG_F77 uses FFLAGS, not F77FLAGS, as the variable where to look for switches for the Fortran 77 compiler: adjust accordingly.
Stefano Lattarini 3a7b60b1 2012-01-18T18:42:46 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module
Stefano Lattarini 52246cc7 2012-01-18T17:55:40 cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module With this change, we delegate most of the automake and aclocal code for command-line options parsing to a new module "Automake::Getopt". This allows better code sharing between automake and aclocal, and also with Autoconf, which will sync the new module from us. See also autoconf commit 'v2.68-120-gf4be358' (2012-01-17, "getopt: new Autom4te::Getopt module"), and this mailing list discussion: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2012-01/msg00033.html> This change might interact with the behaviour described in automake bug#7434; for example, starting from now, "automake -Wfoo --version" will cause automake to emit diagnostic like "unknown warning category 'foo'" before actually printing the version number and exiting. This is not a big deal in practice, and the code sharing and simplifications introduced by this patch is certainly worth it. Still, we should revisited the issue in the future. * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm: New module, basically a slightly-edited copy of the 'lib/Autom4te/Getopt.pm' file from the autoconf devel repository (commit v2.68-120-gf4be358). It defines and exports ... (parse_options): ... this new function. * automake.in (parse_arguments): Use the new function. * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (dist_perllib_DATA): Add the new file. * tests/getopt.test: Remove. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Update.
Stefano Lattarini b4ba4e86 2012-01-18T14:08:57 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: cosmetics: move CheckListOfTests.am into tests/ tests: move all under the same hierarchy ('tests/' directory) gitlog-to-changelog: update from upstream changelog: don't cluster multiple entries under the same "date line" + Extra non-trivial edits: * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Update with the xfailing tests that were in 'lib/Automake/tests'. Add proper "FIXME" comment.
Stefano Lattarini fbeda3da 2012-01-18T12:17:11 tests: move all under the same hierarchy ('tests/' directory) This simplifies the organization of the Automake source tree and reduces the (lamentably high) number of Makefiles in the Automake build system by one. It also makes the maintainer check that verifies the consistency of list of tests more self-contained and simpler. Finally, it might be a first step forward the transition to a non-recursive build system for automake (if we ever decide to go down that road fully some day). * lib/Automake/tests: All the '*.pl' tests in here moved ... * tests/pm: ... into this new directory. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Remove, its meaningful contents moved ... * tests/Makefile.am: ... here, with obvious adjustments. (test_subdirs): New variable, for the sake of the recipe of 'maintainer-check-list-of-tests'. * CheckListOfTests (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Enhance its recipe to make it able to deal with test script residing in subdirectories. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Simplified. (TEST_SUBDIRS): Remove, no more needed. * tests/list-of-tests.mk (perl_TESTS): New variable, lists the '.pl' tests just moved into 'tests/pm'. (handwritten_TESTS): Add the contents of '$(perl_TESTS)'. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Update. * .gitignore: Adjust.
Stefano Lattarini 2a9862a8 2012-01-18T09:45:01 gitlog-to-changelog: update from upstream * lib/gitlog-to-changelog: Update from gnulib upstream. The only changes should be cosmetic and/or minor fixlets.
