(TESTS): Update. 2011-07-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> parallel-tests: new recognized test result 'ERROR' * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Recognize a new test result `ERROR'. Use it when encountering unreadable test logs (previously a simple `FAIL' was used in this situations). * lib/test-driver: Set the global test result to `ERROR' when the test exit status is 99. When doing colorized output, color `ERROR' results in magenta. * doc/automake.texi (Log files generation and test results recording): Update by listing `ERROR' too among the list of valid `:test-results:' arguments. * NEWS: Update. * tests/trivial-test-driver: Update. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-harderror.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-no-spurious-summary.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-global-log.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck2.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-no-html.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-end-test-results.test: Likewise. * tests/color.test: Likewise. Also, make stricter, and also test from VPATH. * tests/color2.test: Likewise, and improve syncing with color.test. * tests/parallel-tests-exit-statuses.test: New test. * tests/parallel-tests-console-output.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-07-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> parallel-tests: make parsing of test results safer The new code for parsing the testsuite-generated `.log' files, as introduced in commit `v1.11-872-gc96b881', considers each `:test-result:' field anywhere in a `.log' file as a declaration of a test result, and accounts for it as such in the testsuite summary. Unfortunately this could easily cause spurious test failures being reported in the testsuite summary. This happened in practice with the Automake's own testsuite; for example: $ make check TESTS='check12-p.test'; echo exit: $? ... PASS: check12-p.test ===================================== 4 of 5 tests failed See tests/test-suite.log Please report to bug-automake@gnu.org ===================================== make[2]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1 make: *** [check-am] Error 2 exit: 2 This change introduces a new special `:test-result:' "END", that, when seen, prevents the rest of the log file from being parsed. For more information, refer to the thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-06/msg00199.html> * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Stop the parsing of a log file as soon as the special ":test-result:END" directive is seen. Related changes and enhancements. * lib/test-driver: Protect the rest of the log after the result lined with a ":test-result:END" directive. * doc/automake.texi (Log files generation and test results recording): Update, and related improvements. * tests/parallel-tests-no-spurious-summary.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-end-test-results.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-06-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: document custom test drivers and protocols * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Note that the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT use suggested here is not portable to 'parallel-tests'. (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Document new restrictions on the uses of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT. (Custom Test Drivers): New section and node. (Overview of Custom Test Drivers Support): New subsection. (Declaring Custom Test Drivers in @file{Makefile.am}): Likewise. (APIs for Custom Test Drivers): Likewise. (Options): Update description of color-tests. * lib/am/check ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Remove comments that have been moved into the manual. (recheck, recheck-html): Minor adjustments to better conform to the documentation (this should cause no semantic changes w.r.t. the former behaviour); minor improvements and extensions to existing comments. * tests/test-driver-create-log-dir.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-strip-vpath.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-global-log.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-06-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: explain why AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT must be semicolon-terminated * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Ditto, and related adjustments. Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-06-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: fix unportable example of AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT usage * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): The old example on AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT relied on unportable shell features, and in particular didn't work with various Korn Shells (see also commit `v1.11-925-g29ca903'). Give another example, simpler this time, but still inspired to real-world usage (the GNU coreutils testsuite). 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: avoid a footnote, some related rewordings and improvements * doc/automake.texi (Dist): Reword the part about automatically distributed files to avoid a footnote. Since we are at it, extend a bit, and add an example and a reference to a relevant test case. 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: minor cosmetic fixes * doc/automake.texi: Break few overly long lines, throughout the file. ("Simple Tests"): Move @vindex for XFAIL_TESTS to the correct position, i.e., before and not after the paragraph where it is introduced. ("Options" @item ansi2knr): Use @pxref instead of @xref. This fixes a texinfo warning. ("Other things Automake recognizes" @item AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Use @pxref instead of @ref. 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> help: improve text about automatically-distributed files This change fixes automake bug#7819. * automake.in (usage): Distinguish between files that are always automatically distributed when found, and those which are only "under certain conditions". * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Update accordingly. * tests/autodist-subdir.test: Update. * tests/autodist-no-duplicate.test: Likewise. * tests/autodist.test: Likewise. (configure.in): Remove useless call to AM_MAINTAINER_MODE. 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> refactor: split 'usage' subroutine in automake This change is related to automake bug#7819. * automake.in (print_autodist_files): New subroutine, extracted from ... (usage): ... this, which now uses it. * tests/autodist-no-duplicate.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-06-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix bug in 'autodist.test' * tests/autodist.test: Avoid spurious failure due to no `defs-static' file being found in the parent directory. 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> parallel-tests: allow each test to have multiple results With this change, we improve the code creating the `test-suite.log' global log and the console testsuite summary to make it able to grasp multiple results per test script. This is required in order to introduce the planned support for test protocols, like TAP and SubUnit, which can indeed run multiple tests per test script, each with its individual result. The implementation makes use of a custom reStructuredText field `:test-result:'. Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is be left for follow-up changes. * lib/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): When processing .log files, recognize a report of a test's result only if it is declared with the custom `:test-result:' reStructuredText field placed at the beginning of a line. Extend and add explanatory comments. (recheck, recheck-html): Add explanatory comments. * lib/test-driver: Write an appropriate reStructuredText field `:test-result:' in the generated log file. Use a reStructuredText transition to better separate the test outcome report from the test script's registered output. Improve comments. * tests/test-driver-custom-xfail-tests.test: Adjust. * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Adjust. * tests/parallel-tests-empty-testlogs.test: New test. * tests/parallel-tests-recheck-override.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Extend and keep more in-sync with ... * tests/test-driver-custom-html.test: ... this new related test. * tests/test-driver-custom-no-html.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck2.test: Likewise. * tests/trivial-test-driver: New file, used by the last four tests above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `trivial-test-driver'. (test-driver-custom-multitest.log): Depend on `trivial-test-driver'. (test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck.log): Likewise. (test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck2.log): Likewise. (test-driver-custom-html.log): Likewise. 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> parallel-tests: allow custom driver scripts Allow suffix-based definition of custom "driver script" for the test scripts. These driver scripts will be responsible of launching the tests (or their corresponding $(LOG_COMPILER), if they have an associated one), interpreting and displaying the test results, and writing the `.log' files. This new API should allow easy and flexible use of different test protocols in the future; in particular, we plan to use it to implement TAP and SubUnit harnesses. Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is be left for follow-up changes. * automake.in (handle_tests): Define default for $(LOG_DRIVER), and, for any registered test extension `<ext>', define defaults for $(<ext>_LOG_DRIVER). Substitute %DRIVER% using these new variables, instead of the old internal $(am__test_driver). When processing check2.am, also substitute %DRIVER_FLAGS%. Require auxiliary script `test-driver' only if no driver has been explicitly defined for the test script kinds. * am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Pass the %DRIVER_FLAGS% to the %DRIVER% call. * tests/parallel-tests-no-extra-driver.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-custom.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-xfail-tests.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-fail.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. * NEWS: Update. 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> parallel-tests: add auxiliary script 'test-driver', refactor This refactoring should cause no API of functionality change, and is meant only to simplify the future implementation of TAP and SubUnit testsuite drivers. More precisely, our roadmap is to move most of the "testsuite driving" features out of the Automake-generated Makefiles, and into external scripts with well-defined interfaces. This will allow the user to define its own personalized testsuite drivers, and will also offer us a framework upon which to implement our new TAP and SubUnit drivers, all in a very unobtrusive way and retaining an high degree of code reuse and backward-compatibility. * lib/test-driver: New auxiliary script. * lib/Makefile.am (dist_SCRIPT_DATA): Add it. * automake.in (handle_tests): Require the new auxiliary script `test-driver', and define a new internal makefile variable `$(am__test_driver)', used to call it. Perform new substitution on `DRIVER' when processing the `check2.am' file. * lib/check.am (am__tty_colors): Define new shell variable `$am__color_tests'. (am__rst_section): Removed, its role taken over by the new `test-driver' script. (am__test_driver_flags): New variable, contains the command line options passed to `test-driver'. (am__check_pre): Do not deal with temporary files and exit traps anymore, as the `test-driver' script takes care of that now. Define shell variable `$am__enable_hard_errors', used by `$(am__test_driver_flags)'. Reorder so that we don't need to save and restore the value of the `TERM' environment variable anymore. Other related adjustments. (am__check_post): Remove, as its role has been completely taken over by the `test-driver' script. * am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Call the test script through the Automake substituted `%DRIVER%', and honor the command-line options in `$(am__test_driver_flags)'. Do not call the obsoleted `$(am__check_post)' anymore. * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Mention the new `test-driver' script. (Optional): Mention `test-driver' in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR. Since we are at it, break the list of auxiliary scripts by placing one per line, to simplify potential future additions of new scripts. * tests/check.test: Adjust. * tests/check2.test : Likewise. * tests/check3.test : Likewise. * tests/check4.test : Likewise. * tests/check10.test: Likewise. * tests/color.test: Likewise. * tests/color2.test: Likewise. * tests/comment9.test: Likewise. * tests/dejagnu.test: Likewise. * tests/exeext4.test: Likewise. * tests/maken3.test: Likewise. * tests/maken4.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-interrupt.test: Likewise. * tests/posixsubst-tests.test: Likewise. * tests/repeated-options.test: Likewise. * tests/check-no-test-driver.test: New test. * tests/parallel-test-driver-install.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * NEWS: Update. 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> maintcheck: extend 'sc_tests_plain_*' checks * Makefile.am (sc_tests_plain_autom4te): New check. (sc_tests_plain_autoreconf): Likewise. (sc_tests_plain_autoheader): Likewise. (syntax_check_rules): Update. 2011-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: interactions between TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and LOG_COMPILER * tests/tests-environment-and-log-compiler.test: New test, checking that we can use variables and functions set by TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT in LOG_COMPILER and LOG_FLAGS (for tests both with and without registered extensions). * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-06-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> maintcheck: avoid few spurious failures * Makefile.am (sc_tests_plain_aclocal, sc_tests_plain_perl, sc_tests_plain_autoconf, sc_tests_plain_automake, sc_tests_plain_autoupate): Be stricter in matching an erroneous literal command, i.e., `aclocal', `automake', `perl', etc. 2011-06-20 Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com> (tiny change) check: don't use multi-line coloring for the report "less -R" can't handle multi-line coloring as it is done for the check reports of the serial and parallel testsuite, because of performance reasons. Thus, color each line of the check report by its own. * lib/am/check.am (am__text_box): Accept colors for lines, and color each line by its own. [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Let am__text_box handle the line coloring. [!%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(check-TESTS): Color each report line by its own. * THANKS: Update. 2011-06-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is for corner cases * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Explain that the developers should take care of making their code buildable without requiring any special configure options, so that in general AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS shouldn't be used. Give an example of where its use is legitimate. Suggestions from Ralf Wildenhues and Eric Blake. 2011-06-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> ansi2knr: deprecate, it will go away in the next major release * doc/automake.texi: Loudly and repeatedly state that the old de-ANSI-fication features are now deprecated and will be removed in the next major Automake release. Other related adjustments. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list ): Give a warning in the `obsolete' category when the `ansi2knr' option is used. * m4/protos.m4 (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Deprecate this macro: a warning in the `obsolete' category will be emitted it if is used. * tests/ansi2knr-deprecation.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * tests/ansi.test: Adjust, by calling autoconf and/or automake with the `-Wno-obsolete' flag. * tests/ansi10.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi2.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi3b.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi4.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi5.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi7.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi8.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise. * tests/cxxansi.test: Likewise. * tests/libobj8.test: Likewise. * NEWS: Update about the future planned backward-incompatibility due to the removal of de-ANSI-fication feature. 2011-06-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: primary/prefix combination "pkglib_PROGRAMS" is now invalid * doc/automake.texi (Program Sources): pkglib_PROGRAMS is not a valid combination anymore, so don't document it. Inconsistency introduced in commit `v1.11-373-g9ca6326'. 2011-06-19 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> docs: replace obsolete @vindex entry with a useful one * doc/automake.texi (Program Sources): Do not index obsolete pkglib_PROGRAMS here. Do index pkglibexec_PROGRAMS. 2011-06-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: more checks on portable fd redirection in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT * tests/tests-environment-fd-redirect.test: Extend by also using a perl script among the tests. Run the test shell script with the `errexit' flag active. Export `VERBOSE' to yes when running "make check", to give more debugging information in case of failures. Look for a Korn Shell also in `/usr/bin', not on only in `/bin'. 2011-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: optimize tests on primary/prefix mismatch for speed * tests/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.test: Partial rewrite, in order to use just a single automake invocation rather than one invocation for each invalid primary/prefix couple. This improves the test script execution time by an order of magnitude. Since we are at it, throw in some other improvements to avoid unrelated automake warnings and failures that could potentially cause false positives w.r.t. the automake exit status. 2011-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> news: update w.r.t. introduction of AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS * NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Update. 2011-06-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> maintcheck: DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS can be defined on make cmdline * Makefile.am (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): It's now acceptable that the test scripts override DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS on the make command line. Update comments accordingly. Since we are at it, make the relevant grepping rules slightly tighter. 2011-06-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> distcheck: add support for AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS * doc/automake.texi (Checking the Distribution): Suggest to use AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, not DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, to define (in the top-level Makefile.am) extra flags to be passed to configure at "make distcheck" time; DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS should be reserved for the user. Add proper `@vindex' directive. Document that AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS is not honoured in a subpackage Makefile.am, but the flags in it are passed down to the configure script of the subpackage. * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Also pass the flags in $(AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) to the configure invocation. Update comments. * tests/defs.in.test (AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS): Unset in case they are exported in the environment, they might improperly influence our testsuite. * tests/distcheck-configure-flags.test: New test. * tests/distcheck-configure-flags-am.test: Likewise. * tests/distcheck-configure-flags-subpkg.test: Likewise. * distcheck-hook.test: Likewise. * distcheck-hook2.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Closes automake bug#8784. 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: better documentation for silent make rules * doc/automake.texi (Options): Detailed description of the automake option `silent-rules' moved from here ... (Silent Make): ... into this new chapter, expanded, improved, and subdivided into ... (Make verbosity, Tricks For Silencing Make, Automake silent-rules Option): ... these new sections. (@menu, @detailmenu): Update. * tests/silent-configsite.test: New test, checking that the user can control default mode of silent-rules from config.site, as is documented in the manual. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated. 2011-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Warnings about primary/prefix mismatch fixed and extended. * automake.in (%standard_prefix): Add `doc' and `locale'. Rename `pkgdatadir' to `pkgdata'. Similarly for`pkglibdir', `pkgincludedir' and `pkglibexecdir'. (handle_programs): List `pkglibexec', not `pkglib', among the prefixes valid for the `PROGRAMS' primary. (handle_data): List also `doc' among the prefixes valid for the `DATA' primary. This is required by automake's own build system. * tests/dirforbid.test: Test removed, superseded by ... * tests/primary-prefix-invalid-couples.test: ... this new test. * tests/primary-prefix-valid-couples.test: New test. * tests/primary-prefix-couples-documented-valid.test: Likewise. * tests/primary-prefix-couples-force-valid.test: Likewise. * tests/java3.test: Adjusted, and extended a bit. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated. * NEWS: Updated. From a report by Eric Blake. 2011-06-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: check portable fd redirection in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT * tests/tests-environment-fd-redirect.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Motivated by coreutils bug#8846: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8846> See also following CC:ed thread on bug-autoconf list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2011-06/msg00002.html> 2011-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> test defs: new function 'fatal_', for hard errors Before this patch, the only way offered by tests/defs to properly signal a hard error was the `framework_failure_' function. But the error message issued by that function, as its name would suggest, refers to a set-up failure in the testsuite, while hard errors can obviously also be due to other reasons. The best way to fix this inconsistency is to introduce a new function with a more general error message. Inspired by a recent similar change to Gnulib's tests/init.sh. * tests/defs.in (fatal_): New function. * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): Suggest the use of `fatal_', not of `framework_failure_', for generic hard errors. The latter should be reserved for "real" set-up failures. 2011-06-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix typo-related error in auxdir2.test * tests/auxdir2.test (configure.in): Close m4 quoting in the argument to AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR. Without this, aclocal fails with "ERROR: end of file in string". This problem hasn't been exposed by the testsuite before because this test is in XFAIL_TESTS, so its failure went unnoticed, even if it was due to a wrong cause. Bug introduced in commit v1.11-249-g49ac3de. 2011-06-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> maintcheck: fix some more failures * tests/instdir-ltlib.test: Use creative quoting to avoid spuriously triggering the `sc_rm_minus_f' maintainer check. * tests/instdir-prog.test: Likewise. * tests/instspc-data.test: Use creative quoting to avoid spuriously triggering the `sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check. 2011-06-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> maintcheck: fix some failures, extend some checks * Makefile.am (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update, as we now expect 9 lines, not 8, to be changed from `automake.in' to `automake'. (sc_diff_aclocal_in_aclocal): New maintainer check, similar to the above, and checking that only 10 lines are changed from `aclocal.in' to `aclocal'. (syntax_check_rules): Update. (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Exempt self tests `self-check-*.test' from this check, as they can legitimately use the bare `exit' builtin in various places. * doc/automake.texi (Python): Remove stray `@' from the end of a line. Typo introduced in commit `v1.11-312-g5bf7af6'. * tests/depcomp8a.test: Pass DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS to make from the environment rather than from the command line, to pacify the `sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline' maintainer check. * tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise. 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to rebuild out-of-date autotools-generated files with a simple "make Makefile" -- but for this to work reliably with non-GNU make implementations, the command must be issued from the top-level directory. This patch removes such limitation. * lib/am/configure.am (am--refresh): Depend on `%MAKEFILE%'. * tests/remake-subdir.test: New test. * tests/remake-subdir2.test: Likewise. * tests/remake-subdir-gnu.test: Likewise. * tests/remake-subdir-from-subdir.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal' scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious failures. Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html> * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'. * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'. * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and `@am_AUTOM4TE'. * NEWS: Update. * THANKS: Update. 2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite. But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE. This change fixes that inconsistency. * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New AC_SUBSTitutions. Update comments. * tests/defs.in ($AUTOUPDATE): Default to `@am_AUTOUPDATE@' now. ($AUTOM4TE): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTOM4TE@'. ($AUTORECONF): New variable, defaulting to `@am_AUTORECONF@'. * doc/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/amhello-1.0.tar.gz): Update. 2011-05-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> parallel-tests: stricter checks on DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS support * tests/parallel-tests-harderror.test: New test, doing more in-depth checks on DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Remove tests on DISABLE_HARD_ERRORS, now redundant. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-05-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not necessary in order to override it. DESTDIR is such a variable: we ensure that we do not ever initialize it. And as such, it is quite portable to use: $ make DESTDIR=/foo/bar install and in fact, quite widely used. So our example about when `make -e' is required, which references the `DESTDIR' variable, is poorly chosen, if not downright wrong. Rewrite it to use `prefix' as the overridden variable instead. 2011-05-27 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> testsuite: each test case depends on `defs-static' * tests/Makefile.am ($(TEST_LOGS)): Depends on `defs-static' too. Simplify comments. 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated invariants. It makes little sense to force these tests to also run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite). * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests' driver. * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise. * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise. 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> testsuite: allow tests to avoid the use of 'parallel-tests' option * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Do not generate "siblings" for tests that explicitly define the `parallel_tests', whether to "yes" or to any other value. Extend heading comments to give a rationale for this behaviour. * tests/README: Update. 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests/README: update obsoleted advice * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option. Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests. So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names of hand-written tests instead. (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U' and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common and typical `DESTDIR'. 2011-05-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native' * tests/defs.in (non-cross): Rename requirement ... (native): ... to this, which is clearer and fits the existing lingo better. Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> testsuite: be more cross-compile friendly * tests/defs.in (cross_compiling): New subroutine. (am__tool_prefix): New internal variable. (gcc, g++, gcj): Force the use of the correct "tool prefix" when cross compiling. (gfortran, g77, non-cross): New requirements. 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix portability issues in 'repeated-options.test' * tests/repeated-options.test: Do not assume that object files have `.o' suffix and executables have no default suffix; instead, use `$(OBJEXT)' and `$(EXEEXT)'. 2011-05-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> check: document and test $(TEST_SUITE_LOG) overriding * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Explain how and why TEST_SUITE_LOG can be overridden at runtime. * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-1.test: New test, check that the newly documented idiom and similar usages are truly supported. * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-2.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated. This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t' option. 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix spurious failure of extradep.test on FreeBSD * tests/extradep.test: When using `ls -t' to determine whether a file has been updated, make sure to use as reference a file whose timestamp is expected to be *strictly* older that that of the file being checked. This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t' option. * tests/extradep2.test: Likewise. 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy) Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required' as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier integration/backporting of potential new testcases. * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements, still dummy. (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure. (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow in the future. 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS) * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts man[678].test, which have been present on the filesystem and in the repository, but which had erroneously been left out from $(TESTS). 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: ensure verbose printing of captured make output * tests/libtool7.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make output. * tests/libtool9.test: Likewise. 2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix spurious failure in 'color2.test' * tests/color2.test: If $MAKE contains command-line arguments (as in e.g., "make -j2"), expect's directive "spawn $env(MAKE)" fails spuriously, because it tries to run "$MAKE" as a single command. Fix this with proper uses of the TCL `eval' builtin. 2011-05-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix self check spurious failure with older bash versions * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Add trailing `:' to the test code passed to $SHELL, otherwise older versions of bash (at least 2.05 and 3.2.39) fail to correctly remove the temporary directory in the exit trap. 2011-04-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> testsuite: more environment sanitization * tests/defs: Move the checks verifying that the variables `me', `parallel_tests' and `required' aren't set in the environment ... * tests/defs-static.in: ... in here, with some optimizations to avoid useless forks. Also, do the same checks for the variables `original_AUTOMAKE' and `original_ACLOCAL' too. * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset also variables `original_AUTOMAKE' and `original_ACLOCAL'. 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix spurious failure (non-renamed AM_TESTS_SETUP usage) * tests/parallel-tests-reset-term.test: Use AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT instead of AM_TESTS_SETUP (which has been removed in commit v1.11-349-g12f48fa). Fix spurious failure introduced by merge `v1.11-781-gfeed175'. 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related) * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests driver do not try to strip them. 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix spurious failure in self-check-env-sanitize.test * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Open file descriptor `5' to stdout. Fix spurious failure introduced by merge `v1.11-788-g3b0c8d5'. 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> test: self check subroutines for skipping/failing of tests * tests/self-check-report.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-04-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> test defs: new subroutines for test skipping/failing * tests/defs.in (Exit): Move definition of this function earlier. (warn_, skip_, fail_, framework_failure_): New functions, inspired to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh. ($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions above. * tests/README: Updated. From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix typo (copy & paste blunder) in heading comment * tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Correctly refer to the sister test as `maintclean.test', not as `maintclean-vpath.test'. 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test' * tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> testsuite: more environment sanitization * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests' or `required' is in the environment. ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences from the environment. * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ... * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and `required'. Adjust comments. 2011-04-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: in self-checks, use $SHELL, not /bin/sh * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Include `./defs-static' to get the definition of `$SHELL'. Use `$SHELL' instead of `/bin/sh' to execute the tests. 2011-04-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: prefer AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Renamed to ... (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): ... this. 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: don't allow `$me' to be overridden from the environment * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if $me is in the environment. * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variable `me'. (TESTS): Update. Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> check: rename AM_TESTS_SETUP -> AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT The AM_TESTS_SETUP naming was not a good one after all. It may be technically more correct than AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, but the latter is a better one simply because it is easier to remember, and even if you've never heard of it and only know the semantics of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, you can have a straightforward way to figure out how AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT would work. * tests/check.am (am__check_pre): Update. * doc/automake.in (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Update. * tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_setup.test: Renamed ... * tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_environment.test: ... to this, and updated. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Suggestion and motivation by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> test defs: allow overriding of `$me' * tests/defs.in ($me): Allow overriding by the including test script. Add some explicative comments. 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> coverage: more tests on the parallel-tests driver * tests/parallel-tests-interrupt.test: New test. * tests/parallel-tests-reset-term.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> check: new developer-reserved AM_TESTS_SETUP variable For reference, see the discussion at: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-01/msg00213.html> * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (am__check_pre): Pass also $(AM_TESTS_SETUP). Comments updated, and some typos fixed. * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Document AM_TESTS_SETUP. Reorder some of the existing documentation a bit. * tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_setup.test: New test. From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> depcomp tests: don't reject slower dependency extractors * tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking' option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency extractors are not rejected. * tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise. Also ... (foo.c): ... since we are at it, fix spacing to be consistent with GNU coding standards. 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> m4: add missing serial numbers to a few files Fixes automake bug#8483. * m4/amversion.in: Add serial number. * m4/auxdir.m4: Likewise. * m4/gcj.m4: Likewise. * m4/install-sh.m4: Likewise. * m4/mkdirp.m4: Likewise. * m4/python.m4: Likewise. * m4/runlog.m4: Likewise. * m4/strip.m4: Likewise. * m4/upc.m4: Likewise. 2011-04-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix few bugs in self checks Related to automake bug#8508. * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Be laxer when grepping output from `ls -l', to account for ACLs and SELinux-only files. * tests/self-check-dir.test: Source `defs-static' to read in the correct definition for $SHELL. * tests/self-check-me.test: Likewise, and extend a bit. Report from Jim Meyering. 2011-04-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> depcomp: correct invalid sed invocation * lib/depcomp: Insert missing -e before '/:$/d'. Otherwise, that use of sed would treat '/:$/d' as a file name. 2011-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> maintainer check: quote literal `$' in Makefile rule * Makefile.am (sc_tests_PATH_SEPARATOR): Escape literal `$' character in double-quoted string. Fix a bug in which the rule emitted an erroneously empty substring in its error message. 2011-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix typo in python5b.test * tests/python5b.test: Remove extra `:' from $PATH redefinition. 2011-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: remove redundant settings of `errexit' shell flag * tests/autodist-acconfig.test: Do not set the `errexit' shell flag, as it is already set by `tests/defs'. * tests/autodist-acconfig-no-subdir.test: Likewise. * tests/autodist-aclocal-m4.test: Likewise. * tests/autodist-config-headers.test: Likewise. * tests/autodist-configure-no-subdir.test: Likewise. * tests/autodist-stamp-vti.test: Likewise. * tests/autodist-subdir.test: Likewise. * tests/autodist.test: Likewise. * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Likewise. * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. * tests/check-tests_environment.test: Likewise. * tests/help-python.test: Likewise. * tests/java-check.test: Likewise. * tests/java-extra.test: Likewise. * tests/java-noinst.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-subobj-nodep.test: Likewise. * tests/ltinit.test: Likewise. * tests/m4-inclusion.test: Likewise. * tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-subdir.test: Likewise. * tests/pr8365-remake-timing.test: Likewise. * tests/python-dist.test: Likewise. * tests/python-vars.test: Likewise. * tests/python-virtualenv.test: Likewise. * tests/python5b.test: Likewise. * tests/specflg-dummy.test: Likewise. * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.test: Likewise. 2011-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> coverage: test for automake bug#8485 (known regression) * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update. 2011-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> test defs: define default $distdir (help reducing duplication) * tests/defs ($distdir): New variable, might be used in testcases checking distribution-related features. * tests/pr9.test: Use it. * tests/subdir9.test: Likewise. * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test: Likewise. * tests/remake-moved-m4-file.test: Likewise. * tests/remake-renamed-m4-file.test: Likewise. * tests/remake-renamed-m4-macro-and-file.test: Likewise. * tests/yacc-basic.test: Likewise. * tests/yacc-d-basic.test: Likewise. * tests/yacc-d-vpath.test: Likewise. * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild.test: Likewise. * tests/vtexi3.test: Add comment explaining why we redefine $distdir in this test. 2011-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> depcomp: fix bugs in tests and in the depcomp script * lib/depcomp (gcc): Remove duplicated `-e' from sed invocation. * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity. Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call fails. Add other useful comments. * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments. 2011-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix hp depmode for VPATH builds with GNU make. * lib/depcomp: Be sure to remove VPATH-prefixed object from dependency output when creating stub rule. * tests/depcomp10.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * NEWS: Update.

Remove extra blank lines. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-03-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: fix unindent to use printf not echo for script. * tests/defs.in: Use printf rather than echo, as the latter may interpret the backslashes in the sed script. Fixes test failures with dash as /bin/sh. 2011-03-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine'). See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a. This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names which are possibly problematic in this regard. * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target. (syntax_check_rules): Add it. (m4_builtins): New helper variable. (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings. * tests/include.test: Renamed ... * tests/hdr-vars-defined-once.test: ... to this. * tests/sinclude.test: Renamed ... * tests/m4-inclusion.test: ... to this, and simplified accordingly. * tests/include2.test: Renamed ... * tests/dist-included-parent-dir.test: ... to this, for consistency. 2011-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix bug in alloca*.test * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter, add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in, and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the proper reason. * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit v1.11-315-gd51e7b7 "libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used"). From a report by Patrick Welche. 2011-03-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> cosmetics: better use of m4 quoting and m4sugar macros * m4/dmalloc.m4: Better use of m4 quoting. Bump serial number. * m4/gcj.m4: Likewise. * m4/init.m4: Likewise. * m4/install-sh.m4: Likewise. * m4/lex.m4: Likewise. * m4/multi.m4: Likewise. * m4/option.m4: Likewise. * m4/python.m4: Likewise. * m4/sanity.m4: Likewise. * m4/cond.m4: Likewise. Also, prefer the m4sugar macro 'm4_if' over the plain m4 macro 'ifelse'. * m4/depend.m4: Likewise. 2011-03-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: add test about deprecated use of AC_INIT * tests/deprecated-acinit.test: New test, check that automake and autoconf complain about an old-style AC_INIT call used with a new-style AM_AUTOMAKE_INIT call. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62) * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:". Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ... * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated. 2011-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> cosmetics: convert encoding from ISO-8859 to UTF-8 * ChangeLog.03: Convert encoding to UTF-8. * ChangeLog.96: Likewise. * ChangeLog.98: Likewise. * NEWS: Likewise. * TODO: Likewise. 2011-03-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: extend checks on the 'unindent' shell function * tests/self-check-unindent.test: Also check that multiple instances of 'unindent' can run in parallel (this was not the case when that function used temporary files). 2011-03-01 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> test defs: unindent without temporary file * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace. (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it to unindent without using a temporary file. 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So suggest the use of this latter macro instead. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL' with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'. * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does not fail for the wrong reasons. * tests/ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool support works with LT_INIT-based interface. Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion. 2011-02-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: add testcases sanity-checking the testsuite Helper subroutines, variables and other pieces of code defined in the `tests/defs' and used by many testcases are non-obvious, and tricky to get to work portably; but until now, they weren't tested at all in a clear and self-contained way. This change should remedy to the situation. * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: New test, check removal of temporary test working directory by `./defs'. * tests/self-check-dir.test: New test, check that tests using `./defs' create a proper temporary directory, and run in it. * tests/self-check-exit.test: New test, check that, in case of failing commands, the correct exit status is passed to the exit trap installed by the `./defs' script. * tests/self-check-is_newest.test: New test, checking the `is_newest' subroutine. * tests/self-check-me.test: New test, checking that $me gets defined automatically by `tests/defs' if not set, and that it can be overridden from either the shell or the environment. * tests/self-check-sanity.test: New test, check that the sanity checks performed by the `tests/defs' script works correctly. * tests/self-check-unindent.test: New test, checking the `unindent' subroutine. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as 'r--r--r--') could fail. * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set, before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'. * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise. 2011-02-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> test defs: add subroutine for input unindenting * tests/defs.in (unindent): New subroutine. * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Use it. 2011-02-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> python: report the 'PYTHON' influential environment variable * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Call AC_ARG_VAR on PYTHON. * doc/automake.texi (Python): Update and extend. * tests/help-python.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * THANKS (Jack Kelly): Update e-mail address. Suggestion by Jack Kelly. 2011-02-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests defs: clear TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable * tests/defs.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset it, so that values from environment won't interfere with the testcases. Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-02-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: `instspc-*.test': do not create useless source file * tests/instspc-tests.sh (create_input_data): Do not create unused source file `source2.c'. 2011-02-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests, the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the beginning of `instspc.test'). But luckily, since the new tests share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of complexity for the testsuite scaffolding). * tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the others `instspc-*.test' tests. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'. ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file. (instspc-data.log): Depend on `instspc-tests.sh'. * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Recognize new action `generate-data', and use it to create hand-written and autotools-generated static files shared by all the `instspc-*.test' tests. When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously created files instead of recreating them from scratch. (unindent, create_input_data): New subroutines. Some other related changes and refactorings. From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-02-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> python: fix spurious failure in tests * tests/python-vars.test: Ignore cached values from config.site by exporting CONFIG_SITE=/dev/null. Be laxer in matching the expected values of output variables `pythondir' and `pyexecdir', since they can change quite unpredictably among different python installations. Also, avoid "hyping" debugging output, thus offering smaller trace output and more informative diff. Report and suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues. * tests/python-virtualenv.test: Require python, since we call it even after the virtualenv has been deactivated. Ignore cached values from config.site by exporting CONFIG_SITE=/dev/null. 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: tweak few tests on simple and parallel test drivers * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Improve heading comments. * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. Also, unset the `FOO_EXIT_STATUS' variable, so that any pre-existing value in the environment won't risk to interfere with the test. Suggestions by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-02-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> python: extend and improve tests, fix minor glitches * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Ensure the "checking ..." messages from configure are always complete, even in case of failure. Tiny cosmetic improvement in info/error messages. * tests/python.test: Also check that automake complains if the PYTHON primary is used but the `py-compile' script is not present. Make grepping of generated Makefile.in laxer w.r.t. whitespace. Add trailing `:' command. * tests/python2.test: Remove repeated calls aclocal: they are useless because configure.in is never modified. Make grepping of automake stderr more comprehensive. Remove the pre-existing `py-compile' file before trying to install it with `--add-missing'. Add trailing `:' command. * tests/python3.test: Add trailing `:' command. * tests/python11.test: Likewise. * tests/python4.test: Likewise. Also, try to pass PYTHON config variable to configure from the environment, rather than only from the command line. * tests/python5.test: Ensure that the "checking ..." messages from configure are always complete. Use proper m4 quoting. Add a trailing `:' command. * tests/python6.test: Simplify test logic, by checking for files created by configure rather then grepping its output. * tests/python7.test: Likewise. * tests/python8.test: Also check that `$PYTHON' is meaningfully set in the ACTION-IF-TRUE argument of AM_PATH_PYTHON. * tests/python9.test: Likewise. * tests/python10.test: Add trailing `:' command. (Makefile.am): Declare `disttest' target as `.PHONY', and add an `ls -l' to its recipe, for debugging. * tests/nobase-python.test: In testing "make uninstall" and "make install" results, prefer idioms that make verbose logs more helpful. Remove a couple of lines of dead code. Add a trailing `:' command. * tests/python5b.test: New test, checking that configure performs the check on the python version even when the choice of the python interpreter is forced by the user. * tests/python-dist.test: New test, checking the distribution of *_PYTHON files. * tests/python-vars.test: New test, checking that AM_PATH_PYTHON correctly set all the output variables advertised in the manual. * tests/python-virtualenv.test: New test, checking that python support offered by automake works well with "virtual python environments" created by the `virtualenv' program. * tests/instdir-prog.test: Also check `$(pyexecdir)'. Existing checks made slightly stricter. * tests/instdir-prog.test: Also check `$(pyexecdir)'. Existing * tests/instdir-ltlib.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-02-01 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> coverage: more tests on simple and parallel test drivers * tests/parallel-tests-subdir.test: New test. * tests/check-exported-srcdir.test: Likewise. * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: Likewise. * tests/check-tests_environment.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2011-01-29 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test * tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'. * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise. 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> docs: color-tests issues with parallel make * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail with some make implementation when running in parallel mode, thus causing colored test output not to be automatically activated when it should. 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy" per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests defs: sanitize IFS * tests/defs ($IFS): Define to <space>, <tab>, <newline>. ($sp): New variable, holding a single whitespace character. ($tab): New variable, holding a tabulation character. ($nl): New variable, holding a newline character. 2011-01-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: avoid instspc* failures due to make's whitespace trimming * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Prepend './' when passing the test characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite failures with HP-UX and Tru64/OSF make. 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds. * tests/suffix10.test, tests/suffix11.test, tests/suffix12.test, tests/suffix3.test, tests/suffix5.test, tests/suffix8.test: Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion. tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds. * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test: Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion. 2011-01-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'. * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise. 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R. * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes up its internal memory when copying this tree. 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Add comment to check-TESTS rule working around make 3.80 bug. * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment. 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again. * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure. 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues. * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='. * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities. Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1. 2011-01-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the parallel-tests driver. 2011-01-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: check for presence of cscope with redirected input. * tests/defs: Add required test for cscope. Fixes cscope3.test hang with Sun C 5.9 cscope. tests: avoid false failure in cygnus-dependency-tracking.test. * tests/cygnus-dependency-tracking.test: Be less restrictive when grepping the compiler error message, GCC 3.4.6 on FreeBSD does not mention an undefined symbol. 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: revert not turning off errexit in instspc-test.sh * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Turn off errexit while sourcing defs, the scripts might still not be clean. 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: work around Tru64 sh -e issues for instspc*.test. Apparently, Tru64 sh does not like turning off errexit mode, and gets confused. * tests/defs: Document 'errexit' cleanliness requirement. * tests/defs-static.in: Likewise. Avoid error from command substitution to abort instspc*.test with Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh. * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Drop now-unneeded temporary errexit dropping. Add strategic '|| Exit' to let tests work on Tru64. 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure. * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing conftest.dir before recreating it. Fixes bug#7864. Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4. 2011-01-18 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems. * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot be turned unreadable. 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make. * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target. Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule. 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Avoid local $_ perl variable, for Perl before 5.9.1. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Do not lexically localize $_. Fixes bootstrap on AIX 5.1. Bug introduced in commit `v1.11-622-gf90a06c'. 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test * tests/cond36.test ($required): Remove. Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command. 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> tests: avoid failing command substitution in errexit mode. * tests/vartypo2.test, tests/vartypos.test: Rewrite to not use a command substitution with a nonzero exit status, that causes IRIX and Tru64/OSF sh to fail the whole test. 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs. * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html): Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin. * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * NEWS: Update. 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> * NEWS, README: Update copyright years. 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> tests: hard error in case of internal failures or signal caught * tests/defs: Exit with status 99 (hard error) rather than 1 (failure) on unexpected/internal errors, or when a signal is caught by the client script. Tests defs: don't let useless variables leak in test scripts. * tests/defs ($priv_check_temp, $overwrite_status, $ro_dir_temp, $create_status, $r2h, $libtool_found, $gettext_found, $aclocaldir, $extra_includes): Unset once they've served their purpose. 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make. 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding) (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.

Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues. 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Update docs w.r.t. warning and strictness options. * doc/automake.texi (Strictness): Document that some warnings are turned off by default in `foreign' strictness. (Options): Divide into new sections "Options generalities" and "List of Automake options". Fix typo (colon instead of full stop). Document option precedence (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS wins over AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE which wins over command line). Also document interactions between options specifying strictness and those specifying warnings. More tests on warnings/strictness precedence. * tests/warning-groups-win-over-strictness.test: New test, similar to `warnings-win-over-strictness.test', but checking the explicit catch-all warning flags (like `-Wall' and `-Wnone'). * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. Update NEWS about the warnings-over-strictness precedence. * NEWS: Automake explicit warning levels always take precedence over the implicit warning levels implied by Automake strictness. For PR automake/547: Warnings win over strictness in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS. Ensure that, for what concerns the options specified in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, explicitly-defined warnings always take precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings. This finally fixes Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547. * automake.in (handle_options): Call 'process_option_list' only once per set of options. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (process_global_option_list, process_option_list): Add sanity checks.

For PR automake/547: Change signature of 'Automake::Options::_process_option_list()'. This only modifies internal details in the automake implementation, bearing no externally visible effect, but preparing the way for the final fix of Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept as arguments a list of hash references with keys 'option' and 'where', where 'option' is an option as might occur in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and 'where' is the location where it occurred. (process_option_list, process_global_option_list): Updated. * automake.in (handle_options, scan_autoconf_traces): Update. Add more tests about AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS. In view of soon-to-follow refactorings (still in the pursuit of a fix for Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547), add some more tests on AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS support, to prevent obvious regressions. * tests/amopts-variable-expansion.test: New test. * tests/amopts-location.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. For PR automake/547: Warnings win over strictness in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.

(Optional): Fix grammar nit. 2011-01-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by simply "make clean" or "make distclean". This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES by hand. This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by "make clean". * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean". * tests/yacc-clean.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * NEWS: Update. 2011-01-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> * NEWS: Fix typo (forgotten word). 2011-01-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> docs: how to work around checks on invalid primary/directory couples * doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Document the blessed idiom which can be used to work around automake checks on invalid primary/directory couples (such as `lib_PROGRAMS' or `doc_LIBRARIES'). 2010-01-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Tests: normalize use of the 'errexit' shell flag. * tests/maken3.test (check_targets): Remove redundant call to 'set -e'. * tests/maken4.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi5.test: Call 'set -e' just after './defs' has been sourced. * tests/ansi6.test: Likewise. * tests/ansi7.test: Likewise. * tests/cond16.test: Likewise. * tests/cond17.test: Likewise. * tests/cond18.test: Likewise. * tests/cond19.test: Likewise. * tests/cond20.test: Likewise. * tests/cond21.test: Likewise. * tests/instdat2.test: Likewise. * tests/instdir-texi.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise. * tests/remake1a.test: Likewise. * tests/ccnoco.test: Likewise, and add trailing `:' command. * tests/comment4.test: Likewise. * tests/gcj4.test: Likewise. * tests/nodist2.test: Likewise. * tests/nodist3.test: Enable 'errexit' shell flag (this should have been done in commit v1.11-248-g317e17b, but the relevant hunk has been forgotten somehow). * tests/output.test: Likewise. * tests/gnits2.test: Likewise, and display captured stderr to script's stderr, not to script's stdout. * tests/gnits3.test: Likewise.

This change deals with a Zsh incompatibility in the handling of the special shell variable `$0' in sourced files; this incompatibility used to cause utter breakage when the Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER). For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel testsuite run with zsh" on automake-patches, dated 2010-12-22: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html> This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3 or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random failures) for earlier Zsh version. * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0', tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3. Done also some minor rewordings. * tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround for the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0'.

Use separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP), to fix quoting issues. * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust. 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison. * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison. Found by NixOS Hydra. 2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix bug in test `backcompat6.test' (MSYS portability). * tests/backcompat6.test (Makefile.am): Grep the output from the test program, rather than diffing it, to avoid spurious failures on MinGW/MSYS due to LF vs. CRLF line endings. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-11-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Deprecate obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX. * m4/regex.m4: Document the `AM_WITH_REGEX' macro as obsolete, and state that it should be removed two years from now. (AM_WITH_REGEX): Raise an m4-time warning of the "obsolete" category when this macro is used. * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of `AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ... (Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete and "to be removed in a future version". * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Improve and extend tests on man pages support. * tests/man.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes. Make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly stricter. * tests/man3.test: Add trailing `:' command. * tests/man5.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to configure.in. * tests/man2.test: Likewise, and add trailing `:' command. * tests/man4.test: More thorough and consistent checking of make error messages. Place fake `help2man' program in a new `bin' directory rather than in `.'. Move the checks using the real `help2man' program to ... * tests/man6.test: ... this new test, and extend them. This test passes with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make. * tests/man7.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which checks for a bug in maintainer-clean w.r.t. generated manpages. * tests/man8.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which checks for a bug in distcheck w.r.t. generated manpages. Passes with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make. 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Minor improvements and extensions to various tests. * tests/defun.test: Also run autoconf and grep the generated configure to make sure that aclocal truly picks up all the required macros. * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'. Do not create useless dummy source files. Do not set useless `$(foo_LDADD)' variable in `Makefile.am'. Do not call useless macro `AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS' in `configure.in'. * tests/compile_f90_c_cxx.test: Likewise. * tests/suffix10.test: Slightly stricter grepping of make output. * tests/compile.test: Add trailing `:' command. * tests/defun2.test: Likewise. * tests/vars3.test: Likewise. * tests/vartar.test: Likewise. * tests/vars.test: Likewise. Also, extend test by checking that the definition of `MY_FLAGS*' variables is preserved in the generated `Makefile.in'. * tests/stamph2.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'. Use proper m4 quoting in `configure.in'. 2010-11-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Tests defs: improve messages for skipped tests. * tests/defs: Give meaningful messages about the reasons of a test skip; this is especially useful as this file is run without verbose xtraces on. Related reorderings in the code and new comments. 2010-11-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'. The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. multiple inclusions. * tests/defs.in: Removed, its contents split among ... * tests/defs-static.in: ... this new file ... * tests/defs: ... and this new file, including the former. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs', add `tests/defs-static'. (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Add `tests/defs'. * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update. ($(instspc_tests)): Likewise. * tests/.gitignore: Update. Tests defs: $testsbuilddir is now AC_SUBST'ed. * tests/defs.in ($testsbuilddir): Substitute from @abs_builddir@. Add sanity check on $testsbuilddir, similar to those on $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir. Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore. * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr. Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just useless noise. Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir * tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir. Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`". * tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when the current working directory is not changed. Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages. * tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined before those checks. Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices. * tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed. Tests defs: improve and extends comments. * tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering. Tests defs: various reorderings. * tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a clearer way. 2010-11-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix bug in test `backcompat4.test' (stale autom4te cache). * tests/backcompat4.test: Remove stale autom4te cache directory before re-running aclocal and automake. Also, since we are at it, be more verbose in displaying contents of generated files, to ease debuggability. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Fix a bug in variable concatenation 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 uselessly 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 `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$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 maintainer-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 superseded 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 slightly 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 useless 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%.

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.

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 $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly. Enable `errexit' shell flag. 2010-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix error in generation of parallel tests. * tests/defs.in ($am_skip_defs): New variable, to be used when ./defs must be sourced multiple times.

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.

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.

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 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in distdir.am. 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Remove uses of @acronym and @sc. * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names): Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual. Suggested by Karl Berry. 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org> GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi. * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream change. 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Formatting cleanups in macro comments. * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm, lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm, m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format. 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file. * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'. * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed. (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'. (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore. ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts adjusted. * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test scripts adjusted. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes' then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p'). * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests5.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests8.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests10.test: Likewise. * tests/README (Section "Writing Test Cases" subsection "Do"): Adjusted the parts referring to tests checking `parallel-tests' behaviour. Some other minor related improvements. * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed. 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts. * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's already unset in the `defs' file. * tests/check5.test: Likewise. * tests/check8.test: Likewise. * tests/check9.test: Likewise. * tests/check10.test: Likewise. * tests/check11.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests5.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Likewise. 2010-03-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix cscope test on systems without working Fortran compiler. * tests/cscope.test: Skip remainder of test if `$MAKE all' fails. * THANKS: Update. Report by Peter Johansson. 2010-02-24 Antonio Diaz Diaz <ant_diaz@teleline.es> (tiny change) Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Add lzip compression support. * automake.in (handle_dist): Recognize dist-lzip. (make_paragraphs): Map LZIP to dist-lzip. * doc/automake.texi (Dist): Add dist-lzip. (Options): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Add dist-lzip. * lib/am/distdir.am (dist dist-all): Add command to create an lzip-compressed tarball.

Missing deprecation noted by Antonio Diaz Diaz. 2010-02-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Add tests about support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST. * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST. * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST. * tests/extra12.test: New test, check usage of wildcards in EXTRA_DIST when $builddir != $srcdir. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly. Necessity of these new tests suggested by Braden McDaniel and Ralf Wildenhues. 2010-02-08 Simon Josefsson <simon@josefsson.org> Fix copyright statement in gnupload script. * lib/gnupload: Fix copyright statement. 2010-02-06 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org> (tiny change) Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts. The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to 128 + SIG<SIGNAL>. * lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Use `exit 143' in signal handler. * lib/elisp-comp: Likewise. * lib/install-sh: Likewise. * lib/ylwrap: Likewise. Also, fix script to trap signal 13, not 3. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. Bug report, analysis, and initial patch by Dmitry V. Levin. 2010-02-06 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org> Improve gnupload usage text. * gnupload (usage): Shorten to make more likely to fit on a tty line. Mention CMD in the synopsis. With ..., plural is implied. 2010-01-28 Christos Kontas <xakon@yahoo.com> (tiny change) Fix some typos in the manual * doc/automake.texi (Nested Packages, Rebuilding): Fix typos. 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 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%. * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if dependencies are enabled. * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking; also test per-target flags for non-C language files. * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable dependency tracking. * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>. 2010-01-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test. * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag.

Fix test acoutbs2.test. * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake. Updated copyright years. * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test. Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS). * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS): acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test. (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test. 2010-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> Sync auxiliary files from upstream. * INSTALL, lib/INSTALL, lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub: Sync from upstream.
