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.

Improve and extend test cond5.test.
* tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
standard error.
Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
writing one from scratch.

* tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.

env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
$FGREP rather than plain grep.
* tests/suffix11.test: Likewise.
* tests/suffix12.test: Likewise.
* tests/suffix9.test: Prefet cat + here-doc over echo to append to
the `configure.in' stub. Cosmetic changes.

2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
Add useful comment in test script ext.test.

useless `if' statement is indeed required.
2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.

definition of this variable.
Parallel tests generation: improve comments (tiny change).
* tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Added useful comment to
generated tests.
Tests defs: truly get rid of `$am_defs_included' (unused variable)

should have been removed in a previous changeset, but the removal
was done only partially (oversight).
2010-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
* tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need

`./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
of Automake stderr slighty stricter.
* tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.

changes.
* tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
* tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
test scripts can indeed be useful.
2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
* bootstrap: Detemine what the PATH separator is the same way
autoconf does.
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.

Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
These changes make some checks slighty stricter.

* 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.

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.

the verbose log contains all output.
* tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

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.

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>

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.

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.

* 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>

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:'.

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.

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.

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.
Suggested by Karl Berry.
2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.

m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
* tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
* tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
(check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
(clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
adjusted.

scripts adjusted.
* tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
* tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
* tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
* tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.
* tests/parallel-tests5.test: Likewise.

* tests/check9.test: Likewise.
* tests/check10.test: Likewise.

Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts

2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
* lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
%VERBOSE-NODEP%.
* automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
`@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
(handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to

verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
dependencies are enabled.
