4 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
5 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
6 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
7 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
8 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
9 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
12 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
14 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
16 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
18 tests: hard error in case of internal failures or signal caught
19 * tests/defs: Exit with status 99 (hard error) rather than
20 1 (failure) on unexpected/internal errors, or when a signal
21 is caught by the client script.
23 Tests defs: don't let useless variables leak in test scripts.
24 * tests/defs ($priv_check_temp, $overwrite_status, $ro_dir_temp,
25 $create_status, $r2h, $libtool_found, $gettext_found, $aclocaldir,
26 $extra_includes): Unset once they've served their purpose.
28 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
30 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
31 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
32 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
34 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
36 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
37 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
38 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
39 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
40 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
41 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
43 2011-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
45 tests: fix comment typo
46 * tests/substref.test: Fix grammar in a comment.
48 2011-01-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
50 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
51 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
52 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
53 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
55 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
57 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
59 Update docs w.r.t. warning and strictness options.
60 * doc/automake.texi (Strictness): Document that some warnings are
61 turned off by default in `foreign' strictness.
62 (Options): Divide into new sections "Options generalities" and
63 "List of Automake options". Fix typo (colon instead of full
64 stop). Document option precedence (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS wins over
65 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE which wins over command line). Also document
66 interactions between options specifying strictness and those
69 More tests on warnings/strictness precedence.
70 * tests/warning-groups-win-over-strictness.test: New test, similar
71 to `warnings-win-over-strictness.test', but checking the explicit
72 catch-all warning flags (like `-Wall' and `-Wnone').
73 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
75 Update NEWS about the warnings-over-strictness precedence.
76 * NEWS: Automake explicit warning levels always take precedence
77 over the implicit warning levels implied by Automake strictness.
80 Warnings win over strictness in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
81 Ensure that, for what concerns the options specified in
82 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, explicitly-defined warnings always take
83 precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings.
84 This finally fixes Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
85 * automake.in (handle_options): Call 'process_option_list'
86 only once per set of options.
87 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (process_global_option_list,
88 process_option_list): Add sanity checks.
89 ($_options_processed, $_global_options_processed): New
90 internal variables, used by the sanity checks above.
91 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
94 Change signature of 'Automake::Options::_process_option_list()'.
95 This only modifies internal details in the automake implementation,
96 bearing no externally visible effect, but preparing the way for the
97 final fix of Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
98 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept as
99 arguments a list of hash references with keys 'option' and 'where',
100 where 'option' is an option as might occur in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or
101 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and 'where' is the location where it occurred.
102 (process_option_list, process_global_option_list): Updated.
103 * automake.in (handle_options, scan_autoconf_traces): Update.
105 Add more tests about AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
106 In view of soon-to-follow refactorings (still in the pursuit of a
107 fix for Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547), add some more tests on
108 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS support, to prevent obvious regressions.
109 * tests/amopts-variable-expansion.test: New test.
110 * tests/amopts-location.test: Likewise.
111 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
114 Warnings win over strictness in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
115 This change ensures that, for what concerns the options specified
116 in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, explicitly-defined warnings always take
117 precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings. Related to
118 Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
119 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Parse explicit
120 warnings only after the strictness level has been set. Fix POD
122 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
125 Warnings win over strictness on command line.
126 Ensure that, on the command line at least, explicitly defined
127 warnings always take precedence over implicit strictness-implied
128 warnings. Related to Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
129 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Parse warnings only after the
130 strictness level has been processed.
131 * tests/gnuwarn.test: Update, plus miscellaneous improvements.
132 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: New test.
133 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
135 More tests on warnings and strictness.
136 * tests/warnings-strictness-interactions.test: New test.
137 * tests/warnings-unknown.test: Likewise.
138 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
140 New test on silent-rules mode and portability warnings.
141 * tests/silent-nowarn.test: New test.
142 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
144 Add new tests on strictness and warnings precedence and overriding.

156 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
158 Fix remake rule-induced test failures with HP-UX make.
159 * tests/colon6.test: Update timestamp of subdir Makefile, so we
160 do not spuriously invoke the nonexistent toplevel am--refresh
163 tests: fix typos in colon6.test
164 * tests/colon6.test: Fix typos.

170 * tests/defs: Add comment and failure message, improve fail
173 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
175 Fix libobj2.test failure with non-GNU make: define $(AR).
176 * tests/libobj2.test: Ensure $(AR) is suitably defined.
178 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
180 tests: avoid spurious failures due to fork failure in test setup
181 * tests/defs: Ensure $me is always nonempty, to avoid spurious
182 failures on MinGW/MSYS in case the preceding sed command could
185 Avoid configure warnings from wait about reused PIDs.
186 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Hide wait stderr output.
187 Fixes spurious failure of depcomp2.test.
189 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
191 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
192 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
193 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
194 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.
195 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Add stub files.
196 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
197 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.
199 2011-01-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
201 docs: clustered '-d' not recognized in YFLAGS
202 This change fixes automake bug#7828.
203 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document that automake
204 recognizes '-d' in AM_YFLAGS only if it's not clustered with
206 From a report by Юрий Пухальский.
208 2011-01-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

249 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
251 tests: more consistent checks about invalid options
252 * tests/aclocal.test: Grepping of automake stderr for messages
253 reporting invalid options made stricter.
254 * tests/no-outdir-option.test: Likewise. Also, create a dummy
255 `Makefile.am', to ensure that the automake failures are really
256 caused only by unrecognized options.
257 * tests/automake.test: Added trailing `:' command. Removed
258 redundant checks on `--help' and `--version' option (already
259 performed in the test `help*.test').
261 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
263 tests: enable 'errexit' shell flag by default.
264 * tests/defs: Enable `errexit' shell flag (near the end).
265 Removed redundant comment about the enabling of shell traces.
266 * tests/README (Writing test cases): Update, and use nicer
267 formatting in a couple of places.
268 * All tests: Adjusted by removing now-redundant calls to
271 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
273 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL
274 * tests/txinfo5b.test: New test, like txinfo5.test but calling

292 tests: texinfo unrecognized extensions
293 * tests/txinfo-unrecognized-extension.test: New test.
294 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
296 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
297 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
298 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
299 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
300 uselessly run it in a subshell.
301 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
302 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
303 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
305 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
307 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
308 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
309 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
310 Makefile.in stricter.
311 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
312 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
314 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
315 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
316 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
317 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
318 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
319 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
320 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
321 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
322 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
323 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
324 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
325 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
326 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
327 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
328 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
329 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
330 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
331 so they have been moved ...
332 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
333 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
334 trailing `:' command.
335 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
336 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
337 append to configure.in.
338 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
339 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
340 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
341 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
342 minor cosmetic improvements.
343 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
344 trailing `:' command.
345 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
346 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
347 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
349 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
351 tests: fix spurious failure in 'tests/yflags-conditional.test'
352 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Filter out message "warnings are
353 treated as errors" from automake stderr, to avoid a false positive
354 when grepping for extraneous warning messages.
356 2011-01-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
358 yacc: warn about conditional content in *YFLAGS variables
359 This change fixes automake bug#7804.
360 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Warn if any of the relevant
361 *YFLAGS variables has conditional contents (not only a conditional
362 definition). Related refactoring.
364 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Updated and extended.
365 * tests/yflags-conditional-force.test: New test.
366 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
368 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
370 yacc: support variable expansions in *YFLAGS definition.
371 This change fixes automake bug#7800.
372 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use 'value_as_list_recursive'
373 instead of 'variable_value' to get the value of *YFLAGS variables.
375 ($DASH_D_PATTERN): Removed.
376 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove yflags-var-expand.test.
377 * tests/yacc-clean.test: Remove workaround for now-fixed bug.
380 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
382 yacc: more tests on *YFLAGS support
383 * tests/yflags-var-expand.test: New test, still xfailing. It
384 exposes automake bug#7800 -- "automake fails to honor `-d' in
385 AM_YFLAGS when variable expansions are involved".
386 * tests/yflags-d-false-positive.test: New test, checking that
387 automake do not spuriously see `-d' in *YFLAGS when that isn't
389 * tests/yflags-force-override.test: New test, checking that
390 automake can cope with definition of the YFLAGS variable in
391 Makefile.am (even if that is an extremely bad practice, as that
392 variable is user-reserved).
393 * tests/yflags-cmdline-override.test: New test, checking that
394 automake can cope with user-redefinition of YFLAGS at configure
395 time and/or at make time.
396 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: New test, checks that automake
397 warns on conditionally-defined *YFLAGS variables.
398 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
400 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
402 yacc: extend and improve tests
403 * tests/yacc-basic.test: Also check that the intermediate C file
404 is mentioned in the generated Makefile.in, and that it is created
405 by the first make invocation.
406 * tests/yacc3.test: Test removed, superseded by ...
407 * tests/yacc-d-basic.test: ... this new test.
408 * tests/yacc2.test: Add reference to that new test in the heading
410 * tests/yacc-d-vpath.test: New test.
411 * tests/yaccvpath.test: Updated heading comments. Do not require
412 gcc anymore, as any working C compiler should be enough. Remove
414 * tests/yacc-nodist.test: New test.
415 * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild.test: New test.
416 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
418 2010-12-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
420 Extend, fix and improve tests on Lex and Yacc support.
421 * tests/lexcpp.test: New test script, on support for Lex + C++.
422 * tests/lexvpath.test: New test script, test build and rebuild
423 rules for lexers in VPATH setup.
424 * tests/yacc-basic.test: New test script, run simple "semantic"
425 checks on basic Yacc support (similarly to what lex3.test does
427 * tests/lex.test: Don't create useless dummy source file joe.l.
428 Remove extra blank lines.
429 * tests/lex4.test: Add trailing `:' command. Do not create dummy
430 useless lex source file.
431 * tests/lex2.test: Likewise. Call automake with the `-a' option,
432 so that it doesn't fail for the absence of `ylwrap' script. Make
433 grepping of automake stderr stricter.
434 * tests/yacc7.test: Add trailing `:' command. Enable `errexit'
435 shell flag earlier (just after having sourced ./defs).
436 * tests/yacc4.test: Likewise. Also ...
437 (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
438 instead of writing one from scratch.
439 Other minor cosmetic changes.
440 * tests/yacc5.test: Likewise.
441 * tests/yaccvpath.test: Likewise. Also ...
442 ($distdir): New variable.
444 * tests/lex5.test: Likewise.
445 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. Check the distdir, rather than
446 grepping the distribution tarball. Extend the test on the
447 created binary, and be sure to avoid hangs. Add some comments.
448 * tests/yacc.test: Use stricter grepping. Add trailing `:'.
449 * tests/yacc6.test: Likewise.
450 * tests/yacc3.test: Likewise. Do not create the unused file
451 `Makefile.sed'. Remove useless rules from Makefile.am. Other
452 minor cosmetic changes.
453 * tests/yacc2.test: Make grepping of generated `Makefile.in' and
454 of automake error messages stricter. Do not redirect output of
455 grep to /dev/null. Move call to aclocal earlier. Reduce the
456 number of empty blank lines. Fix a typo in comments.
457 * tests/yacc8.test: Fixed bugs that reduced the completeness of
458 the tests. Added trailing `:' command.
459 (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
460 instead of writing one from scratch.
461 * tests/yaccpp.test: Test also extensions `.y++', `.ypp', and
462 `.yxx', rather than only `.yy'.
463 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
465 2011-01-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

480 2011-01-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
482 Add test coverage for deleted header files.
483 * tests/depcomp6.test, tests/depcomp7.test: Update tests to
484 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
485 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
486 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
488 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.

508 yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
509 Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
510 files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
511 them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
512 simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
513 This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
514 those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
516 This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
517 `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
519 * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
520 header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by
521 "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".

678 Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.
679 This change deals with a Zsh incompatibility in the handling
680 of the special shell variable `$0' in sourced files; this
681 incompatibility used to cause utter breakage when the
682 Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
683 the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
684 For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel
685 testsuite run with zsh" on automake-patches, dated 2010-12-22:
686 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
687 This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
688 or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
689 failures) for earlier Zsh version.
690 * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
691 workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
692 tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
693 Done also some minor rewordings.
694 * tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround
695 for the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0'.
696 Abort if that variable cannot be correctly set (can happen only
697 in older Zsh version).
698 * tests/defs ($me): Define using `$argv0', not `$0'.
700 2010-12-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
702 Tests defs: keep track of original $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL values.

715 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
716 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
717 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
718 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
719 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
720 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
721 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

1000 stricter. Add trailing `:' command.
1001 * tests/libobj12.test: Likewise. Also, prefer "cat + here-doc"

1073 configure.in. Prefer `mv -f' over plain `mv' when the target
1074 file already exists. Avoid extra mkdir calls by creating more
1075 directories at once. Better use of blank lines. Check that
1076 the `*.log' and `*.sum' files are created by runtest also when
1078 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to
1079 configure.in. Better use of blank lines. Add a trailing `:'
1081 * tests/dejagnu6.test: Likewise, and give the dejagnu test a
1082 more descriptive name.
1083 * tests/dejagnu5.test: Likewise. Also, simply define package
1084 name to `$me' rather than using a non-obvious sed script to

1151 the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the configure.in
1152 stub created by ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch. Some
1153 cosmetic changes in spacing. Ensure we wait enough time before
1154 touching configure.in to trigger the rebuild rules.

1243 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
1244 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
1245 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
1246 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
1247 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
1248 tests that force gcc depmode.

1343 edited and simplified accordingly.
1345 Remove obsolete automake option `--output-directory'.
1346 This option has been deprecated since version 1.7 (2002/2003).
1347 * automake.in ($output_directory): Define to `.' unconditionally.

1396 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
1397 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
1398 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
1399 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
1400 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
1401 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
1402 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
1403 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf

1408 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1409 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1410 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1411 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1412 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1413 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1414 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1415 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.

1422 Automake API. Fixes testsuite failure with Tru64 make.
1424 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.

1464 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1465 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1466 to fix quoting issues.
1467 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1468 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.

1472 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
1473 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
1474 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1476 2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1478 Fix bug in test `backcompat6.test' (MSYS portability).
1479 * tests/backcompat6.test (Makefile.am): Grep the output from the
1480 test program, rather than diffing it, to avoid spurious failures
1481 on MinGW/MSYS due to LF vs. CRLF line endings.
1482 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
1484 2010-11-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1486 Deprecate obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX.
1487 * m4/regex.m4: Document the `AM_WITH_REGEX' macro as obsolete,
1488 and state that it should be removed two years from now.
1489 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Raise an m4-time warning of the "obsolete"
1490 category when this macro is used.
1491 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of
1492 `AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ...
1493 (Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete
1494 and "to be removed in a future version".
1495 * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
1496 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1498 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1500 Improve and extend tests on man pages support.
1501 * tests/man.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes.
1502 Make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1503 * tests/man3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1504 * tests/man5.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to
1506 * tests/man2.test: Likewise, and add trailing `:' command.
1507 * tests/man4.test: More thorough and consistent checking of make
1508 error messages. Place fake `help2man' program in a new `bin'
1509 directory rather than in `.'. Move the checks using the real
1510 `help2man' program to ...
1511 * tests/man6.test: ... this new test, and extend them. This test
1512 passes with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
1513 * tests/man7.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
1514 checks for a bug in maintainer-clean w.r.t. generated manpages.
1515 * tests/man8.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
1516 checks for a bug in distcheck w.r.t. generated manpages. Passes
1517 with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
1519 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1521 Minor improvements and extensions to various tests.
1522 * tests/defun.test: Also run autoconf and grep the generated
1523 configure to make sure that aclocal truly picks up all the
1525 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing
1526 `Exit 0'. Do not create useless dummy source files. Do not set
1527 useless `$(foo_LDADD)' variable in `Makefile.am'. Do not call
1528 useless macro `AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS' in `configure.in'.
1529 * tests/compile_f90_c_cxx.test: Likewise.
1530 * tests/suffix10.test: Slightly stricter grepping of make output.
1531 * tests/compile.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1532 * tests/defun2.test: Likewise.
1533 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
1534 * tests/vartar.test: Likewise.
1535 * tests/vars.test: Likewise. Also, extend test by checking
1536 that the definition of `MY_FLAGS*' variables is preserved in
1537 the generated `Makefile.in'.
1538 * tests/stamph2.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
1539 Use proper m4 quoting in `configure.in'.
1541 2010-11-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1543 Tests defs: improve messages for skipped tests.
1544 * tests/defs: Give meaningful messages about the reasons of a
1545 test skip; this is especially useful as this file is run without
1546 verbose xtraces on. Related reorderings in the code and new
1549 2010-11-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1551 Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'.
1552 The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. multiple inclusions.
1553 * tests/defs.in: Removed, its contents split among ...
1554 * tests/defs-static.in: ... this new file ...
1555 * tests/defs: ... and this new file, including the former.
1556 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs', add
1557 `tests/defs-static'.
1558 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Add `tests/defs'.
1559 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update.
1560 ($(instspc_tests)): Likewise.
1561 * tests/.gitignore: Update.
1563 Tests defs: $testsbuilddir is now AC_SUBST'ed.
1564 * tests/defs.in ($testsbuilddir): Substitute from @abs_builddir@.
1565 Add sanity check on $testsbuilddir, similar to those on
1566 $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
1568 Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
1569 * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
1570 the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
1571 test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
1572 Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
1573 each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just
1576 Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
1577 * tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
1578 consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
1580 Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
1581 * tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
1582 early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
1583 the current working directory is not changed.
1585 Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
1586 * tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
1587 missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
1588 before those checks.
1590 Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
1591 * tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
1592 test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
1593 such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
1595 Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
1596 * tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
1597 relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
1599 Tests defs: various reorderings.
1600 * tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a
1603 2010-11-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1605 Fix bug in test `backcompat4.test' (stale autom4te cache).
1606 * tests/backcompat4.test: Remove stale autom4te cache directory
1607 before re-running aclocal and automake. Also, since we are at
1608 it, be more verbose in displaying contents of generated files,
1609 to ease debuggability.
1610 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
1612 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1614 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1615 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1616 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1617 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1618 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1619 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1620 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1621 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1622 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1623 Reported by Andy Wingo.
1625 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1627 Modernize, improve and/or tweak various test scripts.
1628 * tests/stamph2.test: Improve m4 quoting in `configure.in', and
1629 prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
1630 * tests/syntax.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.
1631 * tests/copy.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Extend test by
1632 checking with `test' utility that the script `install-sh' is
1633 copied, but not symlinked.
1634 * tests/depdist.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1635 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Avoid obsoleted
1636 constructs in generated `configure.in'. Prefer to do our checks
1637 by running configure and make over grepping Makefile.in.
1638 * tests/target-cflags: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag
1639 earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the
1640 `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it
1642 * tests/target-clash: Do not uselessly run autoconf.
1643 * tests/ctarget1.test: Renamed ...
1644 * tests/cond-basic.test: ... to this. Use the `configure.in' stub
1645 created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch.
1646 Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just
1647 after inclusion of ./defs). Other minor cosmetic changes.
1648 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1650 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1652 New tests on obsoleted usages of automake/autoconf macros (such
1653 as AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AC_OUTPUT).
1654 * tests/backcompat.test: New test script.
1655 * tests/backcompat2.test: Likewise.
1656 * tests/backcompat3.test: Likewise.
1657 * tests/backcompat4.test: Likewise.
1658 * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
1659 * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise.
1660 * tests/init.test: Extended and improved, esp. by trying more
1661 combinations of calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE with few
1663 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1665 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1667 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1668 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1669 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1670 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1671 of test `vala2.test'.
1673 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1675 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1676 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1677 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1679 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1680 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1681 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1682 and header remaking.
1683 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1684 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1685 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1686 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1687 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
1689 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1691 2010-11-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1693 Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'.
1694 This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged
1695 "tests-init" branch. In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define
1696 anymore `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$testsrcdir'; but
1697 the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug.
1698 Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically
1699 exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from
1701 * tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test
1702 scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'.
1704 2010-11-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1706 Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'.
1707 The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile. Its running
1708 time was very long. It also produced a log that was nearly
1709 unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find
1710 out the reason for failures.
1711 Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious)
1712 failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if
1713 everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases).
1714 The present change should solve these problems, by separating
1715 `instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated
1717 * tests/instspc.test: Removed.
1718 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role:
1719 1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am',
1720 containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take
1721 over the older `instspc.test', and
1722 2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters
1723 pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks.
1724 This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation
1725 code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined.
1726 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this
1727 snippet, which (among the other things) defines ...
1728 (instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
1729 newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ...
1730 (instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list
1731 of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail.
1732 ($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests.
1733 ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency
1734 of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script.
1735 (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'.
1736 (XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'.
1737 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh.
1738 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests).
1739 Other minor cosmetic changes.
1740 * bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am.
1741 * tests/.gitignore: Updated.
1743 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1745 Add FAQ entry for bug reporting instructions.
1746 * doc/automake.texi (Reporting Bugs): New section.
1747 (Introduction): Refer to it.
1749 2010-10-07 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
1751 depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later.
1752 * lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which
1753 make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7.
1754 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes
1755 similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not
1756 support the -o option.
1758 2010-10-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1760 dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9: honor envvar settings
1761 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that
1762 made it impossible to override. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar,
1763 defaulting to -9 if not defined. Thus no change in behavior
1764 when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting
1765 of that envvar when it is set. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
1766 (dist-bzip2): Likewise for it's corresponding envvar: BZIP2.
1767 * NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Mention it.
1768 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the
1769 newly enabled environment variables.
1771 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1773 Add support for newer python versions.
1774 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
1775 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
1776 line and fix indentation.
1778 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
1780 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
1781 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
1782 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1784 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
1785 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1786 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1787 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1788 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1789 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
1790 please maintainer-check.
1791 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.

1794 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1796 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1797 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1798 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1799 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
1800 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1801 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
1802 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
1804 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1806 tests: fix ar-lib.test for echo that interprets backslashes.

1808 More robust quoting.
1810 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1812 maintainer-check coverage for variables before rules.
1813 * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): Suggest keeping
1814 around the test directories.
1815 (sc_tests_makefile_variable_order): New rule with a heuristic to
1816 catch ordering violations.
1818 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
1819 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1820 are expanded before rules.
1821 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1822 get matched as a rule.
1823 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1825 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1827 Coverage and minor fixes for variable typo detection.
1828 * automake.in (check_typos): Remove `EXTRA_' prefix when
1829 computing canonical name.
1830 * tests/vartypo2.test, tests/vartypos.test: New tests.
1831 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1833 Implement EXTRA_maude_DEPENDENCIES for programs and libraries.
1834 * automake.in (handle_programs, handle_libraries)
1835 (handle_ltlibraries): Mark EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES as recognized.
1836 * doc/automake.texi (Linking, Program and Library Variables)
1837 (LIBOBJS): Document EXTRA_*_DEPENDENCIES.
1838 * lib/am/library.am (%LIBRARY%): Also depend on
1839 $(EXTRA_%XLIBRARY%_DEPENDENCIES).
1840 * lib/am/ltlibrary.am (%LTLIBRARY%): Also depend on
1841 (%XLTLIBRARY%_DEPENDENCIES).
1842 * lib/am/program.am (%PROGRAM%%EXEEXT%): Also depend on
1843 $(EXTRA_%XPROGRAM%_DEPENDENCIES).
1844 * tests/extradep.test, tests/extradep2.test: New tests.
1845 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1847 Suggested by Eric Blake.
1849 tests: avoid running into timing issues due to sanity change.
1850 * tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal9.test:
1851 Insert strategic sleep before aclocal reruns, to ensure files
1853 * tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs.
1854 Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
1856 Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
1857 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
1858 start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
1859 before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
1860 testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.

1867 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1868 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.
1870 2010-09-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1872 parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue.

1874 substitution %MAKEFILE%.
1875 (generate_makefile): Adjust.
1876 * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Pass
1877 sanitized TEST_LOGS value as makefile snippet on standard
1878 input to $(MAKE), to avoid exceeding the command line limit on

1883 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1885 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1886 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1887 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1888 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1889 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1890 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1891 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1892 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
1893 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1894 `--version' take precedence on the other options.

1935 the version control system used.
1937 Manual: index refer to target "git-dist", not "cvs-dist".
1938 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
1939 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
1942 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
1943 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's
1944 git repository" rather than to "Automake's CVS repository".

1954 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
1955 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
1956 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1957 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

1974 compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking
1975 * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and
1976 -static option so that the user can select whether to prefer
1977 dll import libraries or static libraries. This enables MSVC to
1978 link against dlls generated by libtool without requiring libtool
1979 or workarounds such as -lfoo.dll etc. Makes the tests/static.at
1980 test case in libtool pass.

2031 2010-09-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2033 Fix regression in test `colon4.test'.
2034 * tests/colon4.test: Fix botched editing to `configure.in'
2035 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
2036 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
2038 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
2039 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
2041 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2043 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
2044 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
2045 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in

2065 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
2066 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
2067 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
2068 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.

2128 * tests/defs.in ($srcdir): Define unconditionally to @abs_srcdir@.
2129 Remove code for $srcdir normalization, which is now useless.
2131 2010-09-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2133 Tests defs: make spacing more consistent.
2134 * tests/defs.in: Make spacing more consistent in indentation.
2135 Especially, indent using only spaces, not tabs. Also, move

2145 Fix bug in test missing6.test.
2146 * tests/missing6.test: Fix the hack used to edit `configure.in',

2153 Make ar-lib support backslashed files in archives.
2154 * lib/ar-lib: If an archive member contains a backslash, make sure
2155 it is escaped when the archive member is extracted.
2156 * tests/ar-lib.test: Test the above.
2158 2010-08-31 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
2160 Do file name conversion for object files in the compile wrapper.

2217 Support more C++ file extensions for MSVC in the compile script.
2218 * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): MSVC only recognizes the .cpp
2219 file extension as C++, unless it's given a hint. So hint about
2220 .cc, .CC, .cxx, .CXX, c++ and C++. Also do path conversion on
2221 .c, .cpp, .CPP, .lib, .LIB and .Lib files.
2222 * tests/compile3.test: Test the C++ hinting.

2279 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
2280 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
2281 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
2282 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
2283 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
2284 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
2285 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
2286 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
2287 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

2295 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
2296 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
2297 and add a "FIXME" comment.
2298 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
2299 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
2300 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated

2306 * tests/pr307.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
2307 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal

2332 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
2333 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
2334 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with
2336 * tests/condinc2.test: Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.

2352 related changes. Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

2355 changes. Improve the generated `configure.in' file. Add
2356 trailing `:' command.

2387 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
2388 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
2389 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
2390 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
2391 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
2392 stub preset be ./defs.
2393 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
2394 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

2397 of $(DIST_COMMON) from Makefile.in. Make grepping of the contents
2398 of $(DIST_COMMON) stricter.
2399 * tests/confh4.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
2400 rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping of Makefile.in
2402 * tests/confh5.test: Make grepping of `config.h' stricter. Add a
2404 * tests/configure.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in generated
2405 `configure.ac'. Do not write `configure.in' two times. Escape
2406 literal dots in grep regular expressions.
2407 * tests/confincl.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2408 changes. Prefer fgrep over grep. Other cosmetic changes.
2409 * tests/config.test: Renamed to ...

2420 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
2421 Add a trailing `:' command.
2422 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
2423 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
2424 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
2425 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
2426 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
2427 trailing `:' command.
2428 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
2429 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty
2430 files. Explicitly declare phony targets as such in the created
2431 Makefile.am. Add a trailing `:' command.
2432 * tests/depcomp4.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
2433 grep regexp. Explicitly declare phony targets as such in the
2434 created Makefile.am. Ensure verbose printing of captured makes'
2435 stoud/stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.

2437 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Quote literal dots
2438 and dollar characters in grep regexps. Explicitly declare phony
2439 targets as such in the created Makefile.am. Add a trailing `:'
2441 * tests/depcomp6.test: Consistently use m4 quoting in the generated
2442 configure.in. Cosmetic fixes to spacing. Make the "dummy" `if'
2443 statement required by OpenBSD's sh `set -e' more robust, and add
2444 explanatory comments to it.
2445 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
2447 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
2448 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working
2449 checks moved out to ...
2450 * tests/all2.test: ... this new test.

2470 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
2471 * tests/subobj6.test: Add trailing `:' command. Move setting of
2472 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
2473 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
2474 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
2476 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
2477 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
2478 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
2479 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
2480 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
2481 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
2482 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
2483 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
2484 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.
2485 * tests/subobj10.test: Removed duplicated call to `set -e'. Add
2486 trailing `:' command.
2487 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.

2501 `eval' builtin. Fixed a botched error message. Removed an
2504 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
2505 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
2506 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
2508 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
2509 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.
2510 ($AUTOM4TE): Likewise, for clarity.
2511 Use "$AUTOCONF" instead of calling "autoconf" directly.

2539 Fix maintainer-check failure.
2540 * tests/cond5.test: Quote sleep argument, this isn't about
2541 time stamp differences.
2543 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
2544 * lib/config.guess, lib/config.sub, lib/texinfo.tex:
2547 2010-08-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2549 Work around a nasty bug (segfault) of Solaris make.
2550 * lib/am/check.am (recheck, recheck-html): Trim trailing spaces

2556 Make cond5.test more robust on MSYS.
2557 * tests/cond5.test: Add delay before the first kill attempt to
2558 cater for problems with MSYS bash.
2560 2010-08-01 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
2562 Wrap some MSVC options in the compile script.
2563 * lib/compile: MSVC supports naming the output file, the option
2564 is just not called -o, so transform -o into the appropriate form
2565 for MSVC. Also wrap some other options while at it (-L, -l, -Wl,
2566 -Xlinker and -I) and convert file names to windows form where
2567 needed for those options to make MSVC more usable in an
2568 autotooled environment.
2569 * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Document the above
2570 extension of the compile script.

2599 Prompted by suggestion from Stefano Lattarini.
2601 Fix AM_COND_IF for gone-invalid condition shell expression.
2602 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): test contents of $COND_TRUE
2603 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
2605 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
2608 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
2609 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty
2610 to avoid shell syntax error if the m4 expansion is empty.
2611 * tests/cond40.test: Enhance test.
2613 Coverage: bogus option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
2614 * tests/init2.test: New test.
2615 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2617 2010-07-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2619 Modernize and improve test scripts `subdir*.test'.
2620 * tests/subdir.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2621 changes. Use the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs',
2622 rather than writing one from scratch.
2623 * tests/subdir2.test: Likewise.
2624 * tests/subdir4.test: Likewise.
2625 * tests/subdir3.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2626 changes. Do not create useless dummy source files.
2627 * tests/subdir5.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in (in topdir
2628 and in subdirs) stricter. Some minor changes to keep it more
2629 in sync with the related test `subdir8.test'.
2630 * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise (but with the related test being
2631 `subdir5.test' here).
2632 * tests/subdir6.test: Cosmetic change in spacing.
2633 * tests/subdir9.test: Define and use new variable `$distdir'. Add
2634 trailing `:' command.
2635 * tests/subdir10.test: Cosmetic consistency-related change.
2636 * tests/subdirbuiltsources.test: Cosmetic changes in spacings.
2637 (configure.in): Use stub created by `./defs', rather than writing
2638 it from scratch. Do not use obsoleted and/or deprecated forms of
2639 autoconf/automake macros.
2641 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
2642 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
2643 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
2644 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
2645 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
2646 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
2647 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
2648 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
2650 * tests/distcom6.test: Likewise, and avoid to uselessly run
2652 * tests/distcom3.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured stdout
2653 and stderr. Make grepping of captured stderr stricter. Also,
2654 add trailing `:' command.

2656 Makefile.am as `.PHONY'. Display content of more files, to ease
2657 debugging. Add trailing `:' command.
2658 * tests/distcom5.test: Likewise. Also, factor out common sed
2659 script in subroutine `extract_distcommon'.

2661 test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
2662 * tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
2663 call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
2664 checking of the generated tarball.
2665 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
2666 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
2667 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
2668 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
2669 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
2671 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2673 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
2674 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
2675 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
2676 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
2677 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
2678 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
2679 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
2681 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
2682 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
2683 writing one from scratch.
2685 2010-06-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2687 Update program --help output to match current GCS.

2689 is not defined, for compatibility to Autoconf < 2.64.
2690 * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute PACKAGE_BUGREPORT and
2692 (sc_diff_automake_in_automake): Update number of diff lines for
2693 additional substitutions.
2694 * aclocal.in (usage): Use PACKAGE_BUGREPORT. Point to Automake
2695 home page and GNU general help page.
2696 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.
2697 * doc/automake.texi: New flag PACKAGE_BUGREPORT, to factor email
2699 (Introduction, Creating amhello, amhello Explained, Options):
2701 * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute
2703 * lib/Automake/Config.in ($PACKAGE_BUGREPORT): New global.
2704 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use it for footer of fatal
2707 Clean up @var handling in the manual.
2708 * doc/automake.texi: Throughout the manual, lower-case @var
2709 names, replace a few one-character names.
2711 2010-06-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2713 Fix typo-related bug in test script silent5.test.
2714 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
2717 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
2718 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
2719 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
2720 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
2721 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
2722 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
2723 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use
2724 of `foreign' option in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

2729 * tests/target-cflags.test: Likewise.
2731 Drop useless requirement "gzip" in lex5.test.
2732 * tests/lex5.test ($required): Do not list "gzip", as it's
2735 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2737 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
2738 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
2739 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
2741 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2743 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
2744 `make dist' to fail.
2745 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: New test.
2746 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
2748 2010-06-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2751 * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Mention AM_YFLAGS, YFLAGS
2752 and AM_LFLAGS, LFLAGS in the order in which they now appear in
2755 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
2756 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
2757 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
2758 declaration, to please compilers.
2760 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2762 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
2763 $(FLAGS) precedence.
2764 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
2765 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
2766 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
2767 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2770 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
2771 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
2772 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
2773 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
2775 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
2776 * tests/yflags.test: New test, check that user $(YFLAGS) takes
2777 precedence over automake (AM_YFLAGS) and (foo_YFLAGS). Still

2792 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
2793 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
2794 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
2795 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
2796 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
2797 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
2798 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
2799 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
2800 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
2801 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
2802 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the

2804 $FGREP rather than plain grep.
2805 * tests/suffix11.test: Likewise.
2806 * tests/suffix12.test: Likewise.
2807 * tests/suffix9.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to

2815 useless `if' statement is indeed required.
2817 2010-06-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2819 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
2820 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
2821 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
2823 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
2824 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
2825 definition of this variable.
2827 Parallel tests generation: improve comments (tiny change).
2828 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Added useful comment to
2831 Tests defs: truly get rid of `$am_defs_included' (unused variable)
2832 * tests/defs.in ($am_defs_included): Remove, its now unused. It
2833 should have been removed in a previous changeset, but the removal
2834 was done only partially (oversight).
2836 2010-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2838 Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
2839 * tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need
2840 for the FOOTEST conditional.
2842 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2844 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
2845 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
2847 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
2848 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
2849 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
2850 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
2851 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
2852 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
2853 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
2854 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
2855 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
2856 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
2857 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
2858 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
2859 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
2861 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
2862 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
2863 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
2864 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
2865 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
2866 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.
2867 * tests/substre2.test: Ensure verbose printing of the captured
2868 make's output, and make its grepping slightly stricter.

2878 here-doc, not using echo.
2879 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
2880 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
2881 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
2882 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
2884 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
2885 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.
2886 * tests/pluseq2.test: Likewise. Also, append to configure.in
2887 using cat with an here-doc, not using echo.
2888 * tests/pluseq3.test: Likewise.

2918 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
2919 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
2921 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
2922 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2924 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
2925 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

2948 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2949 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2951 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
2952 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
2953 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
2954 test scripts can indeed be useful.
2956 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2958 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
2959 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way

2964 improvement to comments.
2965 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
2966 Prepend it to all error messages.
2968 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
2969 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2970 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2971 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2972 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2973 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
2975 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2977 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
2978 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
2979 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2980 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
2981 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.

2983 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
2984 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
2985 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
2986 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
2987 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.

2996 changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
2997 * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
2998 stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

3001 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
3002 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
3003 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
3004 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
3005 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
3006 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
3007 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
3008 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
3009 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
3011 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
3012 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

3018 Fix error in generation of parallel tests.
3019 * tests/defs.in ($am_skip_defs): New variable, to be used when
3020 ./defs must be sourced multiple times. If set, unset it and
3021 only define $srcdir; otherwise, also go through the rest of
3023 ($am_defs_included): Remove, no more needed.
3024 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update accordingly,
3025 using only $srcdir from defs.
3026 Fixes potential test failures of tests that use $required.
3028 2010-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

3052 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3054 Improve declaration of dependencies in the testsuite.
3055 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Remove. Instead, let ...
3056 ($(TEST_LOGS)): ... all test logs depend on the scripts.
3057 * test/gen-parallel-tests: For each parallel test foo-p.test,
3058 let `foo-p.log' also depend on `foo.test', since it is sourced.
3060 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3062 Coverage for TAGS_DEPENDENCIES warning.

3082 the verbose log contains all output.
3083 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
3084 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
3086 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3098 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3100 Fix distcheck failure with distributed generated parallel tests.
3101 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Cope with $(srcdir)
3102 being different from the value at developer `make dist' time.
3103 * tests/defs.in: Protect against mutiple inclusion, by using ...
3104 ($am_defs_included): ... this new variable.
3105 ($srcdir): Do not compute, but simply define to `@abs_srcdir@'
3106 as substituted by configure.
3107 Report, suggestions and first fix by Ralf Wildenhues, final
3108 patch by Stefano Lattarini.

3124 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
3125 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
3126 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
3127 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
3128 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
3129 known extension EXT.

3219 command is always displayed.
3221 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.

3231 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
3232 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
3233 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
3235 Improved test silent5.test.
3236 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
3237 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
3238 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
3239 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
3240 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
3241 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
3243 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
3244 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
3245 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.

3272 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
3273 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
3274 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
3275 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
3276 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
3278 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3280 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.

3285 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
3287 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3289 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
3290 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
3291 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
3292 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
3293 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
3294 eliminate such inconsistencies.
3295 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
3298 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3310 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
3312 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
3313 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
3314 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
3317 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3319 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
3320 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
3321 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
3323 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
3324 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
3325 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
3327 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
3328 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
3329 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
3330 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
3331 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
3333 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3335 Warning and error message formatting cleanups.
3336 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments, main): Remove trailing period or

3371 * aclocal.in (check_acinclude): Remove duplicate 'warning: '
3375 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
3376 missing closing parenthesis.
3378 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
3379 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
3380 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
3382 2010-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3384 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
3385 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
3388 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3390 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
3391 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
3392 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
3393 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
3396 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3398 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
3399 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
3400 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
3401 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
3402 Also, bumped the copyright years.
3404 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
3405 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
3406 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
3408 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
3409 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
3410 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
3411 Also, bumped copyright years.
3413 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3415 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
3416 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
3417 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
3419 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
3420 * tests/configure.test: New test.
3421 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3422 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
3424 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3426 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
3427 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
3428 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
3429 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
3430 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
3431 cause the whole test to fail.
3433 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3435 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
3436 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
3437 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
3439 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3441 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
3442 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
3443 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
3444 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
3446 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3448 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
3449 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
3451 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
3452 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
3455 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3457 Print 'warnings are treated as errors' note if needed.
3458 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fix typo in comment.
3459 (_print_message): If -Werror is enabled, print a 'warnings are
3460 treated as errors' note before the first such warning.
3461 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust comment to mention expected warning.
3462 Adjust code to ignore 'warnings are treated as errors' note.
3463 * tests/location.test: Adjust expected output with -Werror.
3464 * tests/werror4.test: New test.
3465 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
3468 Ensure we don't print 'warning:' or 'error:' twice.
3469 * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): New helper rule.
3470 (sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): New rule, to check for
3471 wrong-looking warning and error messages in the test suite logs.
3472 * aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Remove duplicate
3474 * tests/vars3.test: Rename variable to avoid false positive.
3476 Prepend type to warning, error, and fatal messages.
3477 For the first part of messages of types `error' or `fatal',
3478 prepend `error: ' to the message. Prepend `warning: ' to
3479 warning messages, whatever the setting of -Werror.
3480 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (partial): Move up definition.
3481 (_format_message): Emit `header' and `footer' strings only with
3482 the first resp. last part of a set of partial messages.
3483 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Add missing '1;' statement at the
3485 (Automake::ChannelDefs): Setup warning channels with header
3486 `warning: ', error and fatal messages with header `error: '.
3487 * tests/condinc2.test, tests/ltinstloc.test: Adjust expected
3489 * tests/comment5.test: Likewise. Also, include stack notes
3490 should not start with `error:'.
3491 * tests/location.test: Likewise. Also, try both -Werror and
3494 Report by Bruno Haible.
3496 Fix capitalization of error messages, reword one message.
3497 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Do not capitalize the first
3498 word in the error message.
3499 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Likewise. Also, reword
3500 and line-wrap for better readability.
3501 * tests/distcom7.test, tests/pluseq5.test, tests/pluseq9.test:
3504 Fix connected warnings about obsolete exeext override.
3505 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Merge two warnings that belong
3506 together, by setting the 'partial' flag for the first one.
3508 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
3509 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
3510 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
3511 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
3512 and unstable exit status values.
3513 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
3514 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
3515 $warnings_are_errors.
3516 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
3517 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
3520 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3522 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
3523 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
3524 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
3525 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
3527 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
3528 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
3529 succeds unexpectedly.
3531 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
3532 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
3533 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
3534 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
3536 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3538 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
3539 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
3540 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
3541 Report by Pavel Sanda.
3543 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3545 Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test.
3546 * tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped
3547 copyright years). Due to this change, the testcase should now
3548 fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose
3549 outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping
3550 the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr.
3552 2010-04-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3554 Generated tests are now just a thin layer around other tests.
3555 * tests/Makefile.am: Rewrite the rule to generate the `*-p.test'
3556 test scripts so that any of them simply includes the corresponding
3557 `*.test' script (after setting `$parallel_tests' to `yes').
3558 * tests/.gitignore: Add wildcard for temporary files used in the
3559 generation of `*-p.test' tests.
3561 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3563 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
3564 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
3565 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
3568 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
3569 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
3570 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
3571 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
3574 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3576 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
3577 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
3578 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
3579 Suggested by Karl Berry.
3581 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
3583 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
3584 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
3587 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3589 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
3590 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
3591 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
3592 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
3593 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
3595 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3596 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3598 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
3599 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
3600 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
3601 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
3602 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
3603 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
3604 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
3605 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
3607 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
3609 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
3610 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
3611 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
3612 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
3613 * tests/parallel-tests4.test: Likewise.
3614 * tests/parallel-tests5.test: Likewise.

3622 behaviour. Some other minor related improvements.
3623 * tests/.gitignore (defs-p): Removed.
3625 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3627 Remove redundant unset of variable TESTS from some test scripts.
3628 * tests/color.test: Do not unset the `TESTS' variable, as it's
3629 already unset in the `defs' file.
3630 * tests/check5.test: Likewise.
3631 * tests/check8.test: Likewise.
3632 * tests/check9.test: Likewise.
3633 * tests/check10.test: Likewise.
3634 * tests/check11.test: Likewise.
3635 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Likewise.

3682 * tests/extra10.test: New test, check basic support of wildcards
3684 * tests/extra11.test: New test, check more complex usage of
3685 wildcards in EXTRA_DIST.
3686 * tests/extra12.test: New test, check usage of wildcards in
3687 EXTRA_DIST when $builddir != $srcdir.
3688 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
3689 Necessity of these new tests suggested by Braden McDaniel
3690 and Ralf Wildenhues.

3700 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
3701 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
3702 cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly to

3720 * doc/automake.texi (Nested Packages, Rebuilding): Fix typos.
3722 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3724 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
3725 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
3726 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
3727 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
3729 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
3730 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
3731 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
3732 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
3733 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
3734 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
3735 dependencies are enabled.
3736 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
3737 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
3738 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
3739 dependency tracking.
3740 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
3741 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

3744 2010-01-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3746 Slighty improve tests acoutbs.test and acoutbs2.test.
3747 * tests/acoutbs2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Check that
3748 autoconf and configure work, that the file `zot' is created by
3749 configure, and that no file containing a backslash in its name is
3751 * tests/acoutbs.test: Likewise, plus updated copyright years.
3753 Fix test acoutbs2.test.
3754 * tests/acoutbs2: In the generated configure.in: add proper calls
3755 to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and remove explicit definition of
3756 PACKAGE and VERSION. Add a call to aclocal before calling automake.
3757 Updated copyright years.
3758 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Removed acoutbs2.test.
3760 Add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS).
3761 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts present on the
3762 filesystem, which were erroneously left out from $(TESTS):
3763 acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test.
3764 (XFAIL_TESTS): Added acoutbs2.test.
3766 2010-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3768 Sync auxiliary files from upstream.
