| d19eb85c | 2013-05-24 01:13:40 | tests: use append mode to capture parallel make output This will allow us to run the Automake testsuite forcing all the make invocations in the test cases to run in parallel mode [1], but without hitting the spurious failure reported in automake bug#11413. See also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2013-05/msg00135.html> The make invocations in the test cases can be forced to run in parallel mode by, e.g., invoking "make check" like this: make check AM_TESTSUITE_MAKE="make -j16" The possible spurious failures hinted above are due to the fact that the redirected output of parallel make can racily lose lines. For example, if GNU make (3.82) is run with -j10 on a Makefile like this: all = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 default: $(all) $(all): @sleep 0.$$(($RANDOM % 10)); echo $@ and has its standard output redirected in overwrite-mode to a regular file, it looses a line of that output every 15 runs or so on a Fedora 17 system with 64 ppc64 cores. Redirection in append mode does not suffer of this problem, as explained here: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2009-03/msg00073.html> See also previous commits v1.12-63-g45c1fcd of 2012-05-05 (tests: use append mode to capture parallel make output) and Release-1-10-280-g6426999 of 2009-03-10 (Use append mode to capture parallel test output). * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (run_make): Adjust and enhance. * t/lisp8.sh: Take advantage of the enhancement, nd stop doing output redirection for $MAKE by hand. * t/tap-more.sh: Likewise. * t/parallel-tests-concurrency.sh: Likewise.

| 20963917 | 2013-05-22 22:34:12 | lint: warn against redirected 'run_make' invocations The testsuite shell function 'run_make()' has the three options -E, -O and -M to perform the various kind of output redirections, so the test scripts should use them instead of redirecting the output "by hand": run_make ARGS >stdout => run_make -O ARGS run_make ARGS >stderr => run_make -E ARGS run_make ARGS >stdout 2>stderr => run_make -O -E ARGS run_make ARGS >output 2>&1 => run_make -M ARGS See the commit message of v1.13.2-13-gc7cfa09, 2013-05-22 (tests: run_make: options to do command redirection) for an explanation of why this is a good idea.

| c7cfa093 | 2013-05-21 20:22:17 | tests: run_make: options to do command redirection Let's improve the API of the 'run_make()' helper shell function by adding three new options: -O Save the standard output from make on disk, in a regular file named 'stdout'. -E Save the standard error from make on disk, in a regular file named 'stderr'. -M Save both the standard output and standard error from make on disk, in a regular file named 'output'. This option supersedes both the '-O' and '-E' options. This new API has two main advantages. 1. Its use will allow us to get rid of more cumbersome idioms like, e.g., $MAKE check >stdout && { cat stdout; exit 1; } cat stdout That can now be substituted with a simpler one: run_make -e FAIL -O check 2. More importantly, using the new API we will prevent any extra output from the shell traces of the code in run_make to be redirected along with the make stderr (where that was redirected). This problem was present in usages like, e.g., run_make TESTS=foo.test check 2>stderr && exit 1 grep 'expected error message' stderr Such usages are now to be rewritten as follows: run_make -e FAIL -E TESTS=foo.test check grep 'expected error message' stderr ensuring that 'stderr' won't end up containing unrelated stuff. Note that we do not convert in bulk the old idioms and the use of redirected 'run_make' invocations with this patch. We only convert some occurrences, to ensure that the new implementation of 'run_make' is sound enough. More sweeping conversions will likely be done in follow-up patches. * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (run_make): Enhance and implement the extended API. * t/tap-xfail-tests.sh: Use the new 'run_make' API. * t/test-driver-cond.sh: Likewise. * t/tests-environment-fd-redirect.sh: Likewise. * t/uninstall-fail.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-dist-nobuild.sh: Likewise.

| 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).

(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.

For most shells, the lacking initialization, while technically incorrect, didn't cause any issue in practice, because in those shells "test -d" returns an exit status of 0. But with /usr/xpg4/bin/sh, the shell complains like this: "test: argument expected", and returns a non-zero exit status. This caused testsuite failures in several lisp tests. Also, while we are at it, use more proper quoting in the recipe, to ensure a missing initialization to now be caught by more forgiving shells as well. * NEWS: Update.

| 84e12c32 | 2013-05-17 13:45:44 | tests: sanitize 'unset' usages In some shells (e.g., Solaris 10 /bin/ksh, or NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh), "unset VAR" returns a non-zero exit status in case the VAR variable is already unset. This doesn't interact well with our usage of "set -e" in the testsuite. So far, we've avoided spurious failures by either explicitly ignoring the exit status from unset: unset VAR || : or explicitly ensuring that a variable is set, before trying to unset it: VAR=; unset VAR But we can do better, by aliasing the 'unset' command to a custom function that will take care of these details for us. This will avoid us annoying spurious failures in the future, failures that have already bitten us too much times.

| edfd3bc4 | 2013-02-17 16:42:46 | tar: format 'ustar' cannot support UID/GID longer than 21 bits See automake bug#8343 and bug#13588. POSIX 1988 'ustar' format is defined with *fixed-size* fields. There is notably a 21 bits limit (2097151) for the UID and the GID. Tom Rini tom_rini@mentor.com says (in bug#8343): When the user has a UID or GID that is larger than the ustar format supports, pax does not error out gracefully in some cases (FC13). Marc Herbert <marc.herbert@intel.com> adds (in bug#8343): When "configure" is run by a user with an UID bigger than 21 bits, BSD pax 3.4 aborts when trying to create the 'conftest.tar' test archive and leaves an empty or corrupted conftest.tar file behind. In the next step, pax tries to extract this incomplete or corrupted archive and this *** hangs the whole ./configure script ***. Note: GNU cpio 2.9 pretends to pass the test but it is a LIE: it silently truncates any big UID to its lower 21 bits. I don't know what can be the consequences of this lie. I think there is currently a design issue in automake/m4/tar.m4 considering that a ustar archive should should *never* succeed when ./configure is run from a big user ID. Months later, Petr Hracek <phracek@redhat.com> reports a similar issue (in bug#13588) for Fedora 17: I am trying to solve problem in case a user is created with big UID and during configuration pax hangs with message ATTENTION! pax archive volume change required. Ready for archive volume: 1 Input archive name or "." to quit pax. Archive name > and needs user interaction. Reference: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843376> Time to fix this issue, on the line of a preliminary patch provided by Petr Hracek in bug#13588. The final patch ended up being remarkably different from that original proposition, though. * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): If the UID or GID of the current user is too high (> 2097151), the 'ustar' format cannot work.
