2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix a bug in variable concatanation with `+='. * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace character, instead of trying to be uselesssly smarter by using escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value. * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Reported by Andy Wingo. 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Modernize, improve and/or tweak various test scripts. * tests/stamph2.test: Improve m4 quoting in `configure.in', and prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'. * tests/syntax.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. * tests/copy.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Extend test by checking with `test' utility that the script `install-sh' is copied, but not symlinked. * tests/depdist.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Avoid obsoleted constructs in generated `configure.in'. Prefer to do our checks by running configure and make over grepping Makefile.in. * tests/target-cflags: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch. * tests/target-clash: Do not uselessly run autoconf. * tests/ctarget1.test: Renamed ... * tests/cond-basic.test: ... to this. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch. Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Other minor cosmetic changes. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated. 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> New tests on obsoleted usages of automake/autoconf macros (such as AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AC_OUTPUT). * tests/backcompat.test: New test script. * tests/backcompat2.test: Likewise. * tests/backcompat3.test: Likewise. * tests/backcompat4.test: Likewise. * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise. * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise. * tests/init.test: Extended and improved, esp. by trying more combinations of calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE with few arguments. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated. 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files. * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure of test `vala2.test'. 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'. * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution. * NEWS: Update. * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'. (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file and header remaking. * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case. * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header. * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test: New tests. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2010-11-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'. This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged "tests-init" branch. In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define anymore `$srcdir', instead defininig directly `$testsrcdir'; but the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug. Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from manifesting itself. * tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'. 2010-11-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'. The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile. Its running time was very long. It also produced a log that was nearly unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find out the reason for failures. Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious) failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases). The present change should solve these problems, by separating `instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated tests. * tests/instspc.test: Removed. * tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role: 1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am', containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take over the older `instspc.test', and 2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks. This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined. * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this snippet, which (among the other things) defines ... (instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ... (instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail. ($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests. ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script. (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'. (XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'. (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh. (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests). Other minor cosmetic changes. * bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am. * tests/.gitignore: Updated. 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions. * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section. (Introduction): Refer to it. 2010-10-07 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later. * lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7. * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not support the -o option. 2010-10-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9: honor envvar settings * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that made it impossible to override. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar, defaulting to -9 if not defined. Thus no change in behavior when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting of that envvar when it is set. Suggested by Lasse Collin. (dist-bzip2): Likewise for it's corresponding envvar: BZIP2. * NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Mention it. * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the newly enabled environment variables. 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Add support for newer python versions. * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long line and fix indentation. * THANKS: Updated. From a report by Thomas Klausner. Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro. * tests/dmalloc.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'. * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...' flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL". * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment. * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..." instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to please maintainet-check. * tests/help2.test: Likewise. 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures). * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W' flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION', to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal. * tests/help2.test: Likewise. * tests/help3.test: Likewise. * tests/help4.test: Likewise. 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: fix ar-lib.test for echo that interprets backslashes. * tests/ar-lib.test: Use printf instead of echo. Avoid test -a. More robust quoting. 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> maintainer-check coverage for variables before rules. * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): Suggest keeping around the test directories. (sc_tests_makefile_variable_order): New rule with a heuristic to catch ordering violations. Document and fix expansion of variables before rules. * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables are expanded before rules. * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not get matched as a rule. Suggestion by Ben Pfaff. 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Coverage and minor fixes for variable typo detection. * automake.in (check_typos): Remove `EXTRA_' prefix when computing canonical name. * tests/vartypo2.test, tests/vartypos.test: New tests. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Implement EXTRA_maude_DEPENDENCIES for programs and libraries. * automake.in (handle_programs, handle_libraries) (handle_ltlibraries): Mark EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES as recognized. * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables) (LIBOBJS): Document EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES. * lib/am/library.am (%LIBRARY%): Also depend on $(EXTRA_%XLIBRARY%_DEPENDENCIES). * lib/am/ltlibrary.am (%LTLIBRARY%): Also depend on (%XLTLIBRARY%_DEPENDENCIES). * lib/am/program.am (%PROGRAM%%EXEEXT%): Also depend on $(EXTRA_%XPROGRAM%_DEPENDENCIES). * tests/extradep.test, tests/extradep2.test: New tests. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * NEWS: Update. Suggested by Eric Blake. tests: avoid running into timing issues due to sanity change. * tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal9.test: Insert strategic sleep before aclocal reruns, to ensure files are newer. * tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs. Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès. Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second. * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here, start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious testsuite failures involving botched time stamps. * NEWS: Update. Reports by Ludovic Courtès, Peter Breitenlohner, and others. 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue." This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835, because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678. 2010-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue. * automake.in (handle_tests): New argument $makefile, new substitution %MAKEFILE%. (generate_makefile): Adjust. * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on w32 (MSYS). * NEWS: Update. Report by Bob Friesenhahn. 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options. * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command. * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'. * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and `--version' take precedence on the other options. * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command line wins. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated. 2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH. * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again. * tests/instmany-mans.test: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending/redefining PATH. * tests/instmany-python.test: Likewise. * tests/instmany.test: Likewise. * tests/man4.test: Likewise. * tests/mkinst3.test: Likewise. * tests/mmodely.test: Likewise. * tests/multlib.test: Likewise. * tests/txinfo30.test: Likewise. * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): Updated. * Makefile.am (sc_tests_PATH_SEPARATOR): New maintainer check. (syntax_check_rules): Updated. Testsuite: new variables `$PATH_SEPARATOR' and `$APIVERSION'. * tests/defs.in ($APIVERSION): New AC_SUBST'd variable. ($ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE): Use it. ($PATH_SEPARATOR): New AC_SUBST'd variables. ($PATH): Use it. 2010-09-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used. * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn' directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST. (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private directories. (missing and AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Try to be more agnostic w.r.t. the version control system used. Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist". * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under the "cvs-dist" one. Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository". * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository". * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Version.pm (=head1 DESCRIPTION): Refer to "git branches" rather than "CVS branches".

Even when using savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or keeping around. 2010-09-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> * m4/dmalloc.m4: Bump serial number and copyright years. 2010-09-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix broken link in `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' help screen. * m4/dmalloc.m4 (AM_WITH_DMALLOC): Refer only to the dmalloc site `http://www.dmalloc.com', not to the dmalloc tarball there (which seems to have been removed, substituted by multiple release tarballs now). 2010-09-21 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and -static option so that the user can select whether to prefer dll import libraries or static libraries. This enables MSVC to link against dlls generated by libtool without requiring libtool or workarounds such as -lfoo.dll etc. Makes the tests/static.at test case in libtool pass. * tests/compile3.test: Don't trip up if there happens to exist a "foo" library in the library search path. * tests/compile6.test: New test, verifying the library search. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2010-09-17 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Avoid triple-space after period. * automake.in (handle_single_transform): Avoid 3 spaces at sentence end. * ChangeLog.03: Likewise. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (_print_message): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (rule): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (var): Likewise. * lib/am/distdir.am: Likewise. * tests/insthook.test: Likewise. 2010-09-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Test automake-generated portions of configure help screen. * tests/help-depend.test: New test. * tests/help-depend2.test: Likewise. * tests/help-dmalloc.test: Likewise. * tests/help-init.test: Likewise. * tests/help-lispdir.test: Likewise. * tests/help-maintainer.test: Likewise. * tests/help-multilib.test: Likewise. * tests/help-regex.test: Likewise. * tests/help-silent.test: Likewise. * tests/help-upc.test: Likewise. * tests/mmode.test: Remove tests on `configure --help' output, they are supersed by tests in `help-maintainer.test'. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2010-09-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> * tests/README: Don't put GCS mandated tools in $required. 2010-09-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> * HACKING: Hint at old commits with `git describe' output. 2010-09-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Prefer `$(am__cd)' to plain `cd' in our Makefiles. * Makefile.am (recheck, dist-hook, git-dist, path-check, fetch) (release-stats): Use `$(am__cd)' rather than plain `cd'. * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/parallel-tests.am): Likewise. 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix regression in test `colon4.test'. * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in' that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slighty stricter. Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08). 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests. The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in $required. * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip". * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-09-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Use AS_HELP_STRING in AM_SILENT_RULES. * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): Use `AS_HELP_STRING' to format help message regarding configure options `--enable-silent-rules' and `--disable-silent-rules'. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic changes in the related `case' statement (indentation, balancing of parentheses). * THANKS: Update. From a report by Jeff A. Daily. 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings). * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check", instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'. * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t. white spaces. Do not create usless dummy source file `foo.c' and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'. (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'. * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command. * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ... * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister of `confh7.test'. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated. Prompted by a report from Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Remove useless whitespace padding in XFAIL_TESTS definition. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove whitespace padding. 2010-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue. * automake.in (handle_tests): New argument $makefile, new substitution %MAKEFILE%. (generate_makefile): Adjust. * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on w32 (MSYS). * NEWS: Update. Report by Bob Friesenhahn. Posix 2008 requires make to set errexit. * lib/am/check.am: Update comment. 2010-09-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Tests defs: remove variable $testaclocaldir. * tests/defs.in ($testaclocaldir): Removed. * tests/aclocal.test: Use `$top_testsrcdir/m4' directly, not `$testaclocaldir'. Tests defs: $srcdir and $top_srcdir renaming. * tests/defs.in ($srcdir): Remove, define $testsrcdir directly. * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Generation of derived tests updated. Tests defs: new variable $top_testsrcdir. * tests/defs.in ($top_testsrcdir): Define unconditionally to @abs_top_srcdir@. Use it throughout. * tests/ar-lib.test: Use `$top_testsrcdir' instead of `$testsrcdir/..'. * tests/auxdir.test: Likewise. * tests/compile.test: Likewise. * tests/compile2.test: Likewise. * tests/compile3.test: Likewise. * tests/compile5.test: Likewise. * tests/mdate6.test: Likewise. * tests/mkinst3.test: Likewise. * tests/multlib.test: Likewise. * tests/txinfo22.test: Likewise. Tests defs: $srcdir is unconditionally substituted. * tests/defs.in ($srcdir): Define unconditionally to @abs_srcdir@. Remove code for $srcdir normalization, which is now useless. 2010-09-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Tests defs: make spacing more consistent. * tests/defs.in: Make spacing more consistent in indentation. Especially, indent using only spaces, not tabs. Also, move a comment to a better position. Improve code for requiring libtool and gettext in tests. * tests/defs.in: Stricter (and more correct) detection of wheter libtool, libtoolize and/or gettext are in $required. 2010-08-27 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix bug in test missing6.test. * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in', to avoid producing a configure script that breaks with shells that do not support $LINENO. Also throw in a couple of cosmetic changes. 2010-09-02 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> Make ar-lib support backslashed files in archives. * lib/ar-lib: If an archive member contains a backslash, make sure it is escaped when the archive member is extracted. * tests/ar-lib.test: Test the above. 2010-08-31 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> Do file name conversion for object files in the compile wrapper. * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Do file name conversion for object files (i.e. extensions .obj, .OBJ, .o and .O) if needed. * tests/compile4.test: Test the above. 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Speed up removal of auxiliary linker output files for ltlibraries. * lib/am/ltlib.am (clean-%DIR%LTLIBRARIES): Rewrite using just one `rm' invocation. Report by Bob Friesenhahn. Improve robustness of mdate-sh script. * lib/mdate-sh: Sanitize zsh behavior on startup, to ensure $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation. (error): New function. (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation. * tests/mdate6.test: New test, to expose eval quotation error. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. 2010-08-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix potential regressions in depcomp{3,5}.test. * tests/depcomp3.test: Do not uselessly escape the character `$' in makefile rules, when it's used to expand a make macro. * tests/depcomp5.test: Likewise. 2010-08-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking. * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation. Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am'). * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo. 2010-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org> Don't hide the table of contents. * doc/automake.texi: Move the table of contents to the beginning. 2010-08-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> Optimize compile script on MSYS. * lib/compile (func_file_conv): Add new argument 'lazy' which takes an optional list of conversion types where the requested conversion isn't needed. (func_cl_wrapper): Take advantage of the above for cases where MSYS is doing the conversion for us. Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-08-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> Support more C++ file extensions for MSVC in the compile script. * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): MSVC only recognizes the .cpp file extension as C++, unless it's given a hint. So hint about .cc, .CC, .cxx, .CXX, c++ and C++. Also do path conversion on .c, .cpp, .CPP, .lib, .LIB and .Lib files. * tests/compile3.test: Test the C++ hinting. 2010-08-12 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> Enable the use of "link -lib" as the wrapped archiver. * lib/ar-lib: Enable the use of "link -lib" as the wrapped archiver, as well as allowing some other options to be passed through to the wrapped archiver. * tests/ar-lib.test: Test the above. 2010-08-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Tweak and/or extend some `acloca*.test' tests. * tests/aclocal8.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured output. * tests/aclocal.test: Likewise.

Minor improvements in bootstrap script. * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic improvement to comments. ($me): New variable, containing program basename. Prepend it to all error messages. Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode. * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO, which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite. This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite is run with BSD make in parallel mode. 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts. * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script. * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call. * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible. Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent. These changes make some checks slighty stricter. * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails. * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script, rather than in the middle. * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script. * tests/extra5.test: Likewise. * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over plain `mv', just to be sure. * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in. * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. * tests/cond10.test: Likewise. * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise. * tests/depend3.test: Likewise. * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise. * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am, since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE. * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'. * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages. Make test `ammissing.test' stricter. * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeds unexpectedly. Enable `errexit' shell flag. 2010-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix error in generation of parallel tests. * tests/defs.in ($am_skip_defs): New variable, to be used when ./defs must be sourced multiple times. If set, unset it and only define $srcdir; otherwise, also go through the rest of the script. ($am_defs_included): Remove, no more needed. * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update accordingly, using only $srcdir from defs. Fixes potential test failures of tests that use $required. 2010-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Enable `errexit' shell flag in some test scripts. * tests/subcond.test: Enabled `errexit' shell flag, and related minor changes. * tests/subst.test: Likewise. * tests/vars.test: Likewise. * tests/version4.test: Likewise. * tests/vpath.test: Likewise. * tests/vtexi2.test: Likewise. * tests/werror.test: Likewise. * tests/whoami.test: Likewise. * tests/tags.test: Likewise, and avoid to crate an useless dummy header file. * tests/acsilent.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided command substitution. * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided command substitution. * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs in the generated `configure.in'. * tests/version2.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs in the generated `configure.in'. 2010-06-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Improve declaration of dependencies in the testsuite. * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Remove. Instead, let ... ($(TEST_LOGS)): ... all test logs depend on the scripts. * test/gen-parallel-tests: For each parallel test foo-p.test, let `foo-p.log' also depend on `foo.test', since it is sourced. 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Coverage for TAGS_DEPENDENCIES warning. * tests/tags2.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

Improved test silent5.test. * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean. Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without removing generated sources in between, to check that this does not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's output stricter. Improved/added some comments. New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran. * tests/silentf77.test: New test. * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++). * tests/silentcxx.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc). * tests/silentyacc.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

Also, avoid unportable nested double-quotes and backquotes. * THANKS: Update. Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib. 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure. Automake configure script used to tell that automake required autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62, and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should eliminate such inconsistencies. * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable. Use it throughout. 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix truncated comment in Makefile.am. * Makefile.am (sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): Fix unfinished sentence in comment.

Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test. * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD. Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make. * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue. * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test: Require GNU make. 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter. * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred. Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test. * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid unportable use of fgrep option `-e'. Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh. * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE' instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE', since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test if the shell doesn't support `test -e'. 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Warning and error message formatting cleanups. * aclocal.in (parse_arguments, main): Remove trailing period or newline in error or warning messages, avoid capitalization of the first word of a message. * automake.in (check_user_variables, handle_languages) (handle_ltlibraries, scan_aclocal_m4, scan_autoconf_config_files) (scan_autoconf_files, cond_stack_if, require_file_internal) (usage, generate_makefile, parse_arguments): Likewise. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (set_strictness): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (set_strictness): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, variables_dump): Likewise. * tests/ltinstloc.test, tests/suffix11.test: Adjust expected error message. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (setup_channel): Reword error message to be the same as in msg. Fix placing of ellipses in English text and synopses. * Makefile.am: Be sure to add a space before `...' in natural language text. * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Likewise. * lib/am/dejagnu.am: Likewise. * lib/am/progs.am: Likewise. * lib/gnupload (dprint, upload): Likewise. * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. * tests/location.test: Adjust expected output. * automake.in (usage): In synopsis, use singular for OPTION, * remove space before ellipsis. * aclocal.in (usage): Likewise.

Fix typo in manual. * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add missing closing parenthesis. Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump. * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables. 2010-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'. * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test' too. 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output. * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test, tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test, tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before grepping it. 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e'). * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change, an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail. Also, bumped the copyright years. Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter. * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred. Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives). * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives). Also, bumped copyright years. 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments have been parsed. (require_variables): Initialize it here. * tests/configure.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. Report by Stefano Lattarini. 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test. * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now cause the whole test to fail. 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation: @<...> was used instead of C<...>. 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output. * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to... * tests/color2.test: ... this new file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly. 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments. Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test. * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve test description. 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Print 'warnings are treated as errors' note if needed. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fix typo in comment. (_print_message): If -Werror is enabled, print a 'warnings are treated as errors' note before the first such warning. * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust comment to mention expected warning. Adjust code to ignore 'warnings are treated as errors' note. * tests/location.test: Adjust expected output with -Werror. * tests/werror4.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. * NEWS: Update. Ensure we don't print 'warning:' or 'error:' twice. * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): New helper rule. (sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): New rule, to check for wrong-looking warning and error messages in the test suite logs. * aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Remove duplicate `warning: ' prefix. * tests/vars3.test: Rename variable to avoid false positive. Prepend type to warning, error, and fatal messages. For the first part of messages of types `error' or `fatal', prepend `error: ' to the message. Prepend `warning: ' to warning messages, whatever the setting of -Werror. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (partial): Move up definition. (_format_message): Emit `header' and `footer' strings only with the first resp. last part of a set of partial messages. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Add missing '1;' statement at the end of the module. (Automake::ChannelDefs): Setup warning channels with header `warning: ', error and fatal messages with header `error: '. * tests/condinc2.test, tests/ltinstloc.test: Adjust expected error messages. * tests/comment5.test: Likewise. Also, include stack notes should not start with `error:'. * tests/location.test: Likewise. Also, try both -Werror and -Wno-error. * NEWS: Update. Report by Bruno Haible. Fix capitalization of error messages, reword one message. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Do not capitalize the first word in the error message. * automake.in (require_file_internal): Likewise. Also, reword and line-wrap for better readability. * tests/distcom7.test, tests/pluseq5.test, tests/pluseq9.test: Adjust tests. Fix connected warnings about obsolete exeext override. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Merge two warnings that belong together, by setting the 'partial' flag for the first one. Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror. Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent and unstable exit status values. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup) (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of $warnings_are_errors. * tests/werror3.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust. * NEWS: Update. 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh. * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh. Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter. * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL succeds unexpectedly. Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'. * tests/distlinks.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz. * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. Report by Pavel Sanda. 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test. * tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped copyright years). Due to this change, the testcase should now fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr. 2010-04-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Generated tests are now just a thin layer around other tests. * tests/Makefile.am: Rewrite the rule to generate the `*-p.test' test scripts so that any of them simply includes the corresponding `*.test' script (after setting `$parallel_tests' to `yes'). * tests/.gitignore: Add wildcard for temporary files used in the generation of `*-p.test' tests. 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable. * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?', and readonly). Avoid another use of `chmod -R'. * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am. 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Remove uses of @acronym and @sc. * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names): Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
