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.

This is Automake, a Makefile generator. It aims to be portable and to conform to the GNU Coding Standards for Makefile variables and targets. See the INSTALL file for detailed information about how to configure and install Automake. Automake is a Perl script. The input files are called Makefile.am. The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done in your configure.ac. Automake comes with extensive documentation; please refer to it for more details about its purpose, features, and usage patterns. This package also includes the "aclocal" program, whose purpose is to generate an 'aclocal.m4' based on the contents of 'configure.ac'. It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism for augmenting autoconf. It is intended that other package authors will write m4 macros which can be automatically used by aclocal. The documentation for aclocal is currently found in the Automake manual. Automake has a test suite. Use "make check" to run it. For more information, see the file t/README. Automake has a page on the web. See: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ Automake also has three mailing lists: * automake@gnu.org For general discussions of Automake and its interactions with other configuration/portability tools like Autoconf or Libtool. * bug-automake@gnu.org Where to send bug reports and feature requests. * automake-patches@gnu.org Where to send patches, and discuss the automake development process and the design of new features. To obtain more information about these list, or to subscribe to them, refer to <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/#mailinglists> New releases are announced to autotools-announce@gnu.org. If you want to be informed, subscribe to that list by following the instructions at <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autotools-announce>.
