101 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
102 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)

104 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
107 javac: no source files

248 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
249 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
250 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
251 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
252 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
253 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
254 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.

344 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
345 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
346 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
347 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
348 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
349 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
350 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
351 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
352 * libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to macro
353 AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
354 not fail for the wrong reasons.

361 tests: add testcases sanity-checking the testsuite
362 Helper subroutines, variables and other pieces of code defined
363 in the `tests/defs' and used by many testcases are non-obvious,
364 and tricky to get to work portably; but until now, they weren't
365 tested at all in a clear and self-contained way.
366 This change should remedy to the situation.

368 temporary test working directory by `./defs'.
369 * tests/self-check-dir.test: New test, check that tests using
370 `./defs' create a proper temporary directory, and run in it.
371 * tests/self-check-exit.test: New test, check that, in case of
372 failing commands, the correct exit status is passed to the exit
373 trap installed by the `./defs' script.

375 `is_newest' subroutine.
376 * tests/self-check-me.test: New test, checking that $me gets
377 defined automatically by `tests/defs' if not set, and that it

428 tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
429 After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
430 the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
431 all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
432 automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
433 beginning of `instspc.test'). But luckily, since the new tests
434 share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
435 be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
436 complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
437 * tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
438 the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
439 others `instspc-*.test' tests.
440 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.
441 ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file.
442 (instspc-data.log): Depend on `instspc-tests.sh'.
443 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Recognize new action `generate-data',
444 and use it to create hand-written and autotools-generated static
445 files shared by all the `instspc-*.test' tests.
446 When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously
447 created files instead of recreating them from scratch.
448 (unindent, create_input_data): New subroutines.
449 Some other related changes and refactorings.

457 expected values of output variables `pythondir' and `pyexecdir',
458 since they can change quite unpredictably among different python
459 installations. Also, avoid "hyping" debugging output, thus
460 offering smaller trace output and more informative diff.

481 * tests/python.test: Also check that automake complains if the
482 PYTHON primary is used but the `py-compile' script is not present.
483 Make grepping of generated Makefile.in laxer w.r.t. whitespace.
484 Add trailing `:' command.
485 * tests/python2.test: Remove repeated calls aclocal: they are

487 of automake stderr more comprehensive. Remove the pre-existing
488 `py-compile' file before trying to install it with `--add-missing'.

497 trailing `:' command.
498 * tests/python6.test: Simplify test logic, by checking for files
499 created by configure rather then grepping its output.
500 * tests/python7.test: Likewise.

505 (Makefile.am): Declare `disttest' target as `.PHONY', and add
506 an `ls -l' to its recipe, for debugging.
507 * tests/nobase-python.test: In testing "make uninstall" and
508 "make install" results, prefer idioms that make verbose logs
509 more helpful. Remove a couple of lines of dead code. Add a
510 trailing `:' command.
511 * tests/python5b.test: New test, checking that configure performs
512 the check on the python version even when the choice of the python
513 interpreter is forced by the user.
514 * tests/python-dist.test: New test, checking the distribution of
516 * tests/python-vars.test: New test, checking that AM_PATH_PYTHON
517 correctly set all the output variables advertised in the manual.
518 * tests/python-virtualenv.test: New test, checking that python
519 support offered by automake works well with "virtual python
520 environments" created by the `virtualenv' program.

543 2011-01-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
545 docs: color-tests issues with parallel make
546 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Document that automatic
547 recognition of a capable terminal attached to stdout can fail
548 with some make implementation when running in parallel mode,
549 thus causing colored test output not to be automatically
550 activated when it should.
552 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
554 coverage: test semantics of "dummy" per-target flags
555 * tests/specflg-dummy.test: New test, ensuring that even "dummy"
556 per-target flags triggers the use of renamed objects.
557 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
558 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
560 2011-01-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

570 tests: avoid instspc* failures due to make's whitespace trimming
571 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Prepend './' when passing the test
572 characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
573 from macros set from environment variables. Fixes testsuite
574 failures with HP-UX and Tru64/OSF make.
576 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
578 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
579 * tests/suffix10.test, tests/suffix11.test, tests/suffix12.test,
580 tests/suffix3.test, tests/suffix5.test, tests/suffix8.test:
581 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris
582 make from applying automatic VPATH text expansion.
584 tests: fix VPATH auto-expansion workarounds.
585 * tests/parallel-tests8.test, tests/suffix13.test:
586 Ensure $< is not surrounded by white space, to prevent Solaris

591 tests: fix spurious failures in yflags*.test
592 * tests/yflags.test: Remove 'YACC' from the environment, so
593 that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
594 * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
596 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
598 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
599 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
600 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
601 up its internal memory when copying this tree.
603 2011-01-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
604 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

607 * lib/am/check.am (check-TESTS): Update comment.
609 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
611 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
612 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
613 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
615 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
617 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
618 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
619 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
620 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
621 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
622 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.
624 2011-01-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
625 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
627 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
628 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
629 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
630 parallel-tests driver.
632 2011-01-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
634 tests: check for presence of cscope with redirected input.
635 * tests/defs: Add required test for cscope.
636 Fixes cscope3.test hang with Sun C 5.9 cscope.
638 tests: avoid false failure in cygnus-dependency-tracking.test.
639 * tests/cygnus-dependency-tracking.test: Be less restrictive
640 when grepping the compiler error message, GCC 3.4.6 on FreeBSD
641 does not mention an undefined symbol.
643 2011-01-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
645 tests: revert not turning off errexit in instspc-test.sh
646 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Turn off errexit while sourcing defs,
647 the scripts might still not be clean.
649 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
651 tests: work around Tru64 sh -e issues for instspc*.test.
652 Apparently, Tru64 sh does not like turning off errexit mode,
654 * tests/defs: Document 'errexit' cleanliness requirement.
655 * tests/defs-static.in: Likewise. Avoid error from command
656 substitution to abort instspc*.test with Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh.
657 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: Drop now-unneeded temporary errexit
658 dropping. Add strategic '|| Exit' to let tests work on Tru64.
660 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
662 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
663 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
664 conftest.dir before recreating it.

670 tests: avoid failure on w32 file systems.
671 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: SKIP if file cannot
672 be turned unreadable.
674 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
676 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
677 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
678 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
679 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
681 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
683 Avoid local $_ perl variable, for Perl before 5.9.1.
684 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Do not
685 lexically localize $_. Fixes bootstrap on AIX 5.1.
686 Bug introduced in commit `v1.11-622-gf90a06c'.

692 Since we are at it, add a trailing `:' command.
694 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
696 tests: avoid failing command substitution in errexit mode.
697 * tests/vartypo2.test, tests/vartypos.test: Rewrite to not use
698 a command substitution with a nonzero exit status, that causes
699 IRIX and Tru64/OSF sh to fail the whole test.
701 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
702 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
704 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
705 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
706 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
707 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
708 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
709 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
712 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
714 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
716 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
718 tests: hard error in case of internal failures or signal caught
719 * tests/defs: Exit with status 99 (hard error) rather than
720 1 (failure) on unexpected/internal errors, or when a signal
721 is caught by the client script.
723 Tests defs: don't let useless variables leak in test scripts.
724 * tests/defs ($priv_check_temp, $overwrite_status, $ro_dir_temp,
725 $create_status, $r2h, $libtool_found, $gettext_found, $aclocaldir,
726 $extra_includes): Unset once they've served their purpose.
728 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
730 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
731 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
732 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
734 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
736 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input
737 * doc/automake.texi (Extending aclocal, Emacs Lisp, Rebuilding)
738 (API Versioning, Renamed Objects, Multiple Outputs): Add empty
739 lines before `@example' and after `@end example' lines, so info
740 output is rendered correctly, and a following @noindent honored.
741 Report by Stefano Lattarini.

750 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
751 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
752 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
753 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
755 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
757 2011-01-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
759 Update docs w.r.t. warning and strictness options.
760 * doc/automake.texi (Strictness): Document that some warnings are
761 turned off by default in `foreign' strictness.
762 (Options): Divide into new sections "Options generalities" and
763 "List of Automake options". Fix typo (colon instead of full
764 stop). Document option precedence (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS wins over
765 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE which wins over command line). Also document
766 interactions between options specifying strictness and those
769 More tests on warnings/strictness precedence.
770 * tests/warning-groups-win-over-strictness.test: New test, similar
771 to `warnings-win-over-strictness.test', but checking the explicit
772 catch-all warning flags (like `-Wall' and `-Wnone').
773 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
775 Update NEWS about the warnings-over-strictness precedence.
776 * NEWS: Automake explicit warning levels always take precedence
777 over the implicit warning levels implied by Automake strictness.
780 Warnings win over strictness in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
781 Ensure that, for what concerns the options specified in
782 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, explicitly-defined warnings always take
783 precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings.
784 This finally fixes Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
785 * automake.in (handle_options): Call 'process_option_list'
786 only once per set of options.
787 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (process_global_option_list,
788 process_option_list): Add sanity checks.
789 ($_options_processed, $_global_options_processed): New
790 internal variables, used by the sanity checks above.
791 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
794 Change signature of 'Automake::Options::_process_option_list()'.
795 This only modifies internal details in the automake implementation,
796 bearing no externally visible effect, but preparing the way for the
797 final fix of Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
798 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept as
799 arguments a list of hash references with keys 'option' and 'where',
800 where 'option' is an option as might occur in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or
801 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and 'where' is the location where it occurred.
802 (process_option_list, process_global_option_list): Updated.
803 * automake.in (handle_options, scan_autoconf_traces): Update.
805 Add more tests about AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
806 In view of soon-to-follow refactorings (still in the pursuit of a
807 fix for Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547), add some more tests on
808 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS support, to prevent obvious regressions.
809 * tests/amopts-variable-expansion.test: New test.
810 * tests/amopts-location.test: Likewise.
811 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
814 Warnings win over strictness in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
815 This change ensures that, for what concerns the options specified
816 in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, explicitly-defined warnings always take
817 precedence over implicit strictness-implied warnings. Related to
818 Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
819 * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Parse explicit
820 warnings only after the strictness level has been set. Fix POD
822 * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Extend.
825 Warnings win over strictness on command line.
826 Ensure that, on the command line at least, explicitly defined
827 warnings always take precedence over implicit strictness-implied
828 warnings. Related to Automake bug#7669 a.k.a. PR/547.
829 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Parse warnings only after the
830 strictness level has been processed.
831 * tests/gnuwarn.test: Update, plus miscellaneous improvements.

952 * tests/aclocal.test: Grepping of automake stderr for messages
953 reporting invalid options made stricter.
954 * tests/no-outdir-option.test: Likewise. Also, create a dummy
955 `Makefile.am', to ensure that the automake failures are really
956 caused only by unrecognized options.
957 * tests/automake.test: Added trailing `:' command. Removed
958 redundant checks on `--help' and `--version' option (already
959 performed in the test `help*.test').

999 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
1000 uselessly run it in a subshell.
1001 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
1002 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
1003 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
1005 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
1007 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1008 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
1009 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
1010 Makefile.in stricter.
1011 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
1012 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
1014 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
1015 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
1016 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
1017 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
1018 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
1019 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
1020 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
1021 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
1022 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
1023 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
1024 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
1025 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
1026 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
1027 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
1028 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
1029 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
1030 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
1031 so they have been moved ...
1032 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
1033 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
1034 trailing `:' command.
1035 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
1036 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
1037 append to configure.in.
1038 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
1039 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
1040 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
1041 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
1042 minor cosmetic improvements.
1043 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
1044 trailing `:' command.
1045 * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
1046 * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
1047 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

1051 tests: fix spurious failure in 'tests/yflags-conditional.test'
1052 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Filter out message "warnings are
1053 treated as errors" from automake stderr, to avoid a false positive
1054 when grepping for extraneous warning messages.
1056 2011-01-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1058 yacc: warn about conditional content in *YFLAGS variables
1059 This change fixes automake bug#7804.
1060 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Warn if any of the relevant
1061 *YFLAGS variables has conditional contents (not only a conditional
1062 definition). Related refactoring.
1064 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Updated and extended.
1065 * tests/yflags-conditional-force.test: New test.
1066 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1068 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1070 yacc: support variable expansions in *YFLAGS definition.
1071 This change fixes automake bug#7800.
1072 * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use 'value_as_list_recursive'
1073 instead of 'variable_value' to get the value of *YFLAGS variables.
1075 ($DASH_D_PATTERN): Removed.
1076 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove yflags-var-expand.test.
1077 * tests/yacc-clean.test: Remove workaround for now-fixed bug.
1080 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1082 yacc: more tests on *YFLAGS support
1083 * tests/yflags-var-expand.test: New test, still xfailing. It
1084 exposes automake bug#7800 -- "automake fails to honor `-d' in
1085 AM_YFLAGS when variable expansions are involved".
1086 * tests/yflags-d-false-positive.test: New test, checking that
1087 automake do not spuriously see `-d' in *YFLAGS when that isn't
1089 * tests/yflags-force-override.test: New test, checking that
1090 automake can cope with definition of the YFLAGS variable in
1091 Makefile.am (even if that is an extremely bad practice, as that
1092 variable is user-reserved).
1093 * tests/yflags-cmdline-override.test: New test, checking that
1094 automake can cope with user-redefinition of YFLAGS at configure
1095 time and/or at make time.
1096 * tests/yflags-conditional.test: New test, checks that automake
1097 warns on conditionally-defined *YFLAGS variables.
1098 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
1100 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1102 yacc: extend and improve tests
1103 * tests/yacc-basic.test: Also check that the intermediate C file
1104 is mentioned in the generated Makefile.in, and that it is created
1105 by the first make invocation.
1106 * tests/yacc3.test: Test removed, superseded by ...
1107 * tests/yacc-d-basic.test: ... this new test.
1108 * tests/yacc2.test: Add reference to that new test in the heading
1110 * tests/yacc-d-vpath.test: New test.
1111 * tests/yaccvpath.test: Updated heading comments. Do not require
1112 gcc anymore, as any working C compiler should be enough. Remove
1114 * tests/yacc-nodist.test: New test.
1115 * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild.test: New test.
1116 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

1123 rules for lexers in VPATH setup.
1124 * tests/yacc-basic.test: New test script, run simple "semantic"
1125 checks on basic Yacc support (similarly to what lex3.test does
1127 * tests/lex.test: Don't create useless dummy source file joe.l.
1128 Remove extra blank lines.
1129 * tests/lex4.test: Add trailing `:' command. Do not create dummy
1130 useless lex source file.
1131 * tests/lex2.test: Likewise. Call automake with the `-a' option,
1132 so that it doesn't fail for the absence of `ylwrap' script. Make
1133 grepping of automake stderr stricter.
1134 * tests/yacc7.test: Add trailing `:' command. Enable `errexit'
1135 shell flag earlier (just after having sourced ./defs).
1136 * tests/yacc4.test: Likewise. Also ...
1137 (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
1138 instead of writing one from scratch.
1139 Other minor cosmetic changes.
1140 * tests/yacc5.test: Likewise.
1141 * tests/yaccvpath.test: Likewise. Also ...
1142 ($distdir): New variable.
1144 * tests/lex5.test: Likewise.
1145 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. Check the distdir, rather than
1146 grepping the distribution tarball. Extend the test on the
1147 created binary, and be sure to avoid hangs. Add some comments.
1148 * tests/yacc.test: Use stricter grepping. Add trailing `:'.
1149 * tests/yacc6.test: Likewise.
1150 * tests/yacc3.test: Likewise. Do not create the unused file
1151 `Makefile.sed'. Remove useless rules from Makefile.am. Other
1152 minor cosmetic changes.
1153 * tests/yacc2.test: Make grepping of generated `Makefile.in' and
1154 of automake error messages stricter. Do not redirect output of
1155 grep to /dev/null. Move call to aclocal earlier. Reduce the
1156 number of empty blank lines. Fix a typo in comments.
1157 * tests/yacc8.test: Fixed bugs that reduced the completeness of
1158 the tests. Added trailing `:' command.
1159 (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
1160 instead of writing one from scratch.
1161 * tests/yaccpp.test: Test also extensions `.y++', `.ypp', and
1162 `.yxx', rather than only `.yy'.
1163 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

1184 also check for the deleted header bug. If no dependency
1185 tracking mechanism could be found, SKIP rather than exit
1186 successfully. Use GNU style spacing and ANSI C prototypes.
1188 Fix typos in Rule.pm comments.

1208 yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
1209 Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
1210 files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
1211 them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
1212 simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
1213 This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
1214 those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
1216 This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
1217 `.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
1219 * tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
1220 header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by
1221 "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".

1299 * tests/suffix.test: Check that suffix rules for C compilation are
1300 only included once. Try also with a static library.
1301 * tests/suffix2.test: Add a new grep to help potential debugging.
1302 Do not run automake with the `--add-missing' options, since we
1303 already create all the needed auxiliary files. Try also *without*
1304 the `no-dependencies' automake option.

1310 were used instead of a tabulation character). Extend to check
1311 that `.obj' is handled like `.$(OBJEXT)' (as is done for `.o').
1312 Improved parsing & grepping of generated Makefile.in. Other minor

1378 Fix parallel testsuite run with Zsh.
1379 This change deals with a Zsh incompatibility in the handling
1380 of the special shell variable `$0' in sourced files; this
1381 incompatibility used to cause utter breakage when the
1382 Automake testsuite was run in parallel mode with Zsh as
1383 the $(TEST_LOG_COMPILER).
1384 For more information, please refer to the thread "Fix parallel
1385 testsuite run with zsh" on automake-patches, dated 2010-12-22:
1386 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00135.html>
1387 This change works around the problems described above for Zsh 4.3
1388 or later, and offers better error messages (instead of random
1389 failures) for earlier Zsh version.
1390 * tests/README (Supported shells): When describing the manual
1391 workaround about the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0',
1392 tell that it is now needed only with Zsh versions preceding 4.3.
1393 Done also some minor rewordings.
1394 * tests/defs-static.in ($argv0): New variable, offers a workaround
1395 for the Zsh incompatibility in the handling of `$0'.
1396 Abort if that variable cannot be correctly set (can happen only
1397 in older Zsh version).
1398 * tests/defs ($me): Define using `$argv0', not `$0'.

1402 Tests defs: keep track of original $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL values.
1403 This is especially useful for tests which might want to run
1404 automake and aclocal without additional flags and warnings.

1415 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
1416 * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
1417 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
1418 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
1419 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
1420 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
1421 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
1422 - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",

1435 backcompat6.test: avoid comments inside recipe commands.

1447 Fix sed-related buglet in test "subdir5.test"

1449 `i' sed command with a newline, to work around limitations
1450 in e.g. older OpenBSD sed.
1452 2010-12-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1454 Fix spurious failures in tests on AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
1455 * tests/auxdir7.test: Do not try to needlessly overwrite the files
1456 `install-sh' and `missing'. This avoid spurious failures in "make
1457 distcheck", when those files might be copied as read-only from the

1920 in Makefile.am. Use command-line automake options instead of
1921 editing AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS in Makefile.am. Make grepping of the
1922 generated Makefile.in slightly stricter. Add a trailing `:'
1924 * tests/colneq2.test: Do not create unneeded dummy files. Run
1925 also autoconf, ./configure and make. Add trailing `:' command.
1926 * tests/colneq3.test: New test, similar to colneq.test, but
1927 running also autoconf, ./configure and make.
1928 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1930 2010-11-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1932 Remove long-deprecated options --Werror and --Wno-error.
1933 These options has been deprecated at least since commit
1934 "Release-1-6-1b-35-gc037f20", dated 2002-07-06.
1935 * automake.in (parse_arguments): Do not recognize anymore options
1936 `--Werror' and `--Wno-error' as synonyms of respectively `-Werror'
1938 * tests/werror.test: Update: use `-Werror' instead of `--Werror'.

1943 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
1944 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
1945 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
1946 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
1947 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
1948 tests that force gcc depmode.
1949 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
1950 * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
1951 * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
1952 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
1954 * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...

1956 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists

1959 * silent-yacc-generic.test, silent-yacc-gcc.test: ... these new
1960 sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
1962 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

2026 Sync config-ml.in from GCC.

2028 compiler/flag environment variables.
2030 2010-11-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2032 release-stats: account for more generated tests.
2033 * Makefile.am (release-stats): Be sure to take into account all
2034 the generated tests, by grepping the test scripts to decide which
2035 ones of them are automatically generated.
2037 2010-11-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2039 Code cleanup after removal of option `--output-directory'.
2040 * automake.in ($output_directory): Remove, it's unconditionally
2041 defined to `.' and used only ...
2042 (generate_makefile): ... in this subroutine, which now has been
2043 edited and simplified accordingly.
2045 Remove obsolete automake option `--output-directory'.
2046 This option has been deprecated since version 1.7 (2002/2003).
2047 * automake.in ($output_directory): Define to `.' unconditionally.
2048 (parse_arguments): Remove handling of equivalent options `-o' and
2049 `--output-directory'.
2050 * tests/outdir.test: Removed.
2051 * tests/no-outdir-option.test: New test.
2052 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
2055 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2057 Automake::Config: remove extra trailing semicolon.
2058 * lib/Automake/Config.in: Remove extra trailing semicolon.
2060 help4.test: fix botched heading comment.
2061 * tests/help4.test: Fixed the heading comment, since it
2062 didn't correctly describe what checks the testcase was
2063 supposed to perform.
2065 help2.test: add checks on aclocal too.
2066 * tests/help2.test: Check that also `aclocal --version' and
2067 `aclocal --help' work with configure.in and acinclude.m4 both
2070 2010-11-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2072 New test on repeated automake options.
2073 * tests/repeated-options.test: New test, check that automake
2074 does not complain on repeated options, nor generate broken or
2075 incorrect makefiles.
2076 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
2078 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2080 Fix spurious failures of silent-rules tests with Sun Fortran.
2081 * tests/silentf77.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
2082 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers, to
2083 avoid spurious failures. Add a trailing `:' command.
2084 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2086 2010-11-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2088 Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
2089 * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
2090 messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,
2091 to avoid spurious failures. This bug has been there from the
2092 very first version of this test script.
2094 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2096 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
2097 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
2098 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
2099 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
2100 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
2101 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
2102 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
2103 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
2106 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2108 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
2109 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
2110 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
2111 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
2112 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
2113 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
2114 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
2115 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
2117 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2119 backcompat5.test: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
2120 * tests/backcompat5.test: Remove double-hash comments
2121 from makefile rule commands, they are not part of the
2122 Automake API. Fixes testsuite failure with Tru64 make.
2124 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
2125 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
2126 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
2127 are not part of the Automake API.
2129 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2131 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
2132 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
2133 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
2135 2010-11-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
2137 Skip MSVC oriented tests if the shell is not capable.
2138 * tests/defs: New required entry 'xsi-shell'.
2139 * tests/ar-lib.test, tests/compile3.test, tests/compile6.test:
2140 Require a XSI capable shell.
2141 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
2143 2010-11-15 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
2145 compile: clear the `eat' variable earlier.
2146 * lib/compile: Clear the `eat' variable earlier.
2147 ($scriptversion): Update.
2148 * tests/compile3.test: Prevent regressions.
2150 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2152 More stable configure output from sanity check.
2153 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): Always print check line
2154 about ensuring newer files, even if we don't actually need
2157 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2159 Rebuild menus in the manual.
2160 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
2161 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
2163 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
2164 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
2165 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
2166 to fix quoting issues.
2167 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
2168 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
2170 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2172 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
2173 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
2174 Found by NixOS Hydra.
2176 2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2178 Fix bug in test `backcompat6.test' (MSYS portability).
2179 * tests/backcompat6.test (Makefile.am): Grep the output from the
2180 test program, rather than diffing it, to avoid spurious failures
2181 on MinGW/MSYS due to LF vs. CRLF line endings.
2182 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
2184 2010-11-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2186 Deprecate obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX.
2187 * m4/regex.m4: Document the `AM_WITH_REGEX' macro as obsolete,
2188 and state that it should be removed two years from now.
2189 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Raise an m4-time warning of the "obsolete"
2190 category when this macro is used.
2191 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of
2192 `AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ...
2193 (Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete
2194 and "to be removed in a future version".
2195 * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test.
2196 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2198 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2200 Improve and extend tests on man pages support.
2201 * tests/man.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related changes.
2202 Make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly stricter.
2203 * tests/man3.test: Add trailing `:' command.
2204 * tests/man5.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to append to
2206 * tests/man2.test: Likewise, and add trailing `:' command.
2207 * tests/man4.test: More thorough and consistent checking of make
2208 error messages. Place fake `help2man' program in a new `bin'
2209 directory rather than in `.'. Move the checks using the real
2210 `help2man' program to ...
2211 * tests/man6.test: ... this new test, and extend them. This test
2212 passes with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
2213 * tests/man7.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
2214 checks for a bug in maintainer-clean w.r.t. generated manpages.
2215 * tests/man8.test: New test, extracted from old man4.test, which
2216 checks for a bug in distcheck w.r.t. generated manpages. Passes
2217 with GNU make and Solaris make, still fails with BSD make.
2219 2010-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2221 Minor improvements and extensions to various tests.
2222 * tests/defun.test: Also run autoconf and grep the generated
2223 configure to make sure that aclocal truly picks up all the
2225 * tests/compile_f_c_cxx.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing
2226 `Exit 0'. Do not create useless dummy source files. Do not set
2227 useless `$(foo_LDADD)' variable in `Makefile.am'. Do not call
2228 useless macro `AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS' in `configure.in'.
2229 * tests/compile_f90_c_cxx.test: Likewise.
2230 * tests/suffix10.test: Slightly stricter grepping of make output.
2231 * tests/compile.test: Add trailing `:' command.
2232 * tests/defun2.test: Likewise.
2233 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
2234 * tests/vartar.test: Likewise.
2235 * tests/vars.test: Likewise. Also, extend test by checking
2236 that the definition of `MY_FLAGS*' variables is preserved in
2237 the generated `Makefile.in'.
2238 * tests/stamph2.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
2239 Use proper m4 quoting in `configure.in'.
2241 2010-11-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2243 Tests defs: improve messages for skipped tests.
2244 * tests/defs: Give meaningful messages about the reasons of a
2245 test skip; this is especially useful as this file is run without
2246 verbose xtraces on. Related reorderings in the code and new
2249 2010-11-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2251 Tests defs: move static definitions in a new file `defs-static'.
2252 The new file is meant to be idempotent w.r.t. multiple inclusions.
2253 * tests/defs.in: Removed, its contents split among ...
2254 * tests/defs-static.in: ... this new file ...
2255 * tests/defs: ... and this new file, including the former.
2256 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `tests/defs', add
2257 `tests/defs-static'.
2258 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Add `tests/defs'.
2259 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update.
2260 ($(instspc_tests)): Likewise.
2261 * tests/.gitignore: Update.
2263 Tests defs: $testsbuilddir is now AC_SUBST'ed.
2264 * tests/defs.in ($testsbuilddir): Substitute from @abs_builddir@.
2265 Add sanity check on $testsbuilddir, similar to those on
2266 $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
2268 Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
2269 * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
2270 the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
2271 test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
2272 Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
2273 each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just
2276 Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
2277 * tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
2278 consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
2280 Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
2281 * tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
2282 early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
2283 the current working directory is not changed.
2285 Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
2286 * tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
2287 missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
2288 before those checks.
2290 Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
2291 * tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
2292 test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
2293 such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
2295 Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
2296 * tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
2297 relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
2299 Tests defs: various reorderings.
2300 * tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a
2303 2010-11-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2305 Fix bug in test `backcompat4.test' (stale autom4te cache).
2306 * tests/backcompat4.test: Remove stale autom4te cache directory
2307 before re-running aclocal and automake. Also, since we are at
2308 it, be more verbose in displaying contents of generated files,
2309 to ease debuggability.
2310 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
2312 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2314 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
2315 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
2316 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
2317 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
2318 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
2319 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
2320 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
2321 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
2322 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2323 Reported by Andy Wingo.
2325 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2327 Modernize, improve and/or tweak various test scripts.
2328 * tests/stamph2.test: Improve m4 quoting in `configure.in', and
2329 prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
2330 * tests/syntax.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps.
2331 * tests/copy.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Extend test by
2332 checking with `test' utility that the script `install-sh' is
2333 copied, but not symlinked.
2334 * tests/depdist.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
2335 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Avoid obsoleted
2336 constructs in generated `configure.in'. Prefer to do our checks
2337 by running configure and make over grepping Makefile.in.
2338 * tests/target-cflags: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag
2339 earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use the
2340 `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than writing it
2342 * tests/target-clash: Do not uselessly run autoconf.
2343 * tests/ctarget1.test: Renamed ...
2344 * tests/cond-basic.test: ... to this. Use the `configure.in' stub
2345 created by `./defs', rather than writing it from scratch.
2346 Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just
2347 after inclusion of ./defs). Other minor cosmetic changes.
2348 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
2350 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2352 New tests on obsoleted usages of automake/autoconf macros (such
2353 as AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AC_OUTPUT).
2354 * tests/backcompat.test: New test script.
2355 * tests/backcompat2.test: Likewise.
2356 * tests/backcompat3.test: Likewise.
2357 * tests/backcompat4.test: Likewise.
2358 * tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
2359 * tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise.
2360 * tests/init.test: Extended and improved, esp. by trying more
2361 combinations of calls to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE with few
2363 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
2365 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2367 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
2368 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
2369 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
2370 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
2371 of test `vala2.test'.
2373 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2375 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
2376 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
2377 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
2379 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
2380 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
2381 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
2382 and header remaking.
2383 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
2384 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
2385 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
2386 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
2387 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
2389 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
2391 2010-11-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2393 Fix potential bug in generated tests `instpc-*.test'.
2394 This bug is due to the changes introduced by the recently-merged
2395 "tests-init" branch. In that branch, `tests/defs' didn't define
2396 anymore `$srcdir', instead defining directly `$testsrcdir'; but
2397 the generated tests were using `$srcdir', hence the bug.
2398 Luckily, since the Automake parallel test driver automatically
2399 exports `srcdir' to a proper value, that prevented the bug from
2401 * tests/Makefile.am ($(instspc_tests)): In the generated test
2402 scripts, use `$testsrcdir', not `$srcdir'.
2404 2010-11-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2406 Overhauled and modularized tests in `instspc.test'.
2407 The test `instspc.test' was way too big and fragile. Its running
2408 time was very long. It also produced a log that was nearly
2409 unreadable due to its length, making it very difficult to find
2410 out the reason for failures.
2411 Also, it was too much monolithic, with a single (maybe spurious)
2412 failure in a corner case causing the whole test to fail (even if
2413 everything worked as expected in the other 99% of cases).
2414 The present change should solve these problems, by separating
2415 `instspc.test' into many smaller, self-contained, auto-generated
2417 * tests/instspc.test: Removed.
2418 * tests/instspc-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a double role:
2419 1. it generates a Makefile.am snippet `tests/instspc-tests.am',
2420 containing the definition of a list of new tests which will take
2421 over the older `instspc.test', and
2422 2. it is sourced by said generated tests with proper parameters
2423 pre-set, to run the "meat" of the checks.
2424 This apparent abuse is indeed required because the test generation
2425 code and test execution code are inevitably intertwined.
2426 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/instspc-tests.am): Include this
2427 snippet, which (among the other things) defines ...
2428 (instspc_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
2429 newly generated `instspc*.test' tests, and ...
2430 (instspc_xfail_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list
2431 of the `instspc*.test' tests expected to fail.
2432 ($(instspc_tests)): New rule, generates the `instspc*.test' tests.
2433 ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): New rule, registers the dependency
2434 of all `instspc*.test' tests on the `instspc-tests.sh' script.
2435 (TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)', remove `instspc.test'.
2436 (XFAIL_TESTS): Add `$(xfail_instspc_tests)'.
2437 (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute instspc-tests.sh.
2438 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added $(instspc_tests).
2439 Other minor cosmetic changes.
2440 * bootstrap: Generate instspc-tests.am.
2441 * tests/.gitignore: Updated.

2451 depcomp: add new one-pass depmode for MSVC 7 and later.
2452 * lib/depcomp: Add new depmodes 'msvc7' and 'msvc7msys' which
2453 make use of the -showIncludes option added in MSVC 7.
2454 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Handle the new depmodes
2455 similarly to 'msvisualcpp' and 'msvcmsys' as MSVC does not
2456 support the -o option.
2458 2010-10-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2460 dist-xz, dist-bzip2: don't hard-code -9: honor envvar settings
2461 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz): Do not hard-code xz's -9: that
2462 made it impossible to override. Instead, use its XZ_OPT envvar,
2463 defaulting to -9 if not defined. Thus no change in behavior
2464 when XZ_OPT is not set, and now, this rule honors the setting
2465 of that envvar when it is set. Suggested by Lasse Collin.
2466 (dist-bzip2): Likewise for it's corresponding envvar: BZIP2.
2467 * NEWS (Miscellaneous changes): Mention it.
2468 * doc/automake.texi (The Types of Distributions): Describe the
2469 newly enabled environment variables.

2494 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2496 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
2497 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
2498 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
2499 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.

2514 around the test directories.
2515 (sc_tests_makefile_variable_order): New rule with a heuristic to
2516 catch ordering violations.
2518 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
2519 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
2520 are expanded before rules.
2521 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
2522 get matched as a rule.
2523 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.

2547 Suggested by Eric Blake.
2549 tests: avoid running into timing issues due to sanity change.
2550 * tests/acloca10.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal9.test:
2551 Insert strategic sleep before aclocal reruns, to ensure files
2553 * tests/python11.test: Use --force for repeated autotools runs.
2554 Reports from the NixOS Hydra build daemon via Ludovic Courtès.
2556 Fix timestamp issues by ensuring configure takes at least a second.
2557 * m4/sanity.m4 (AM_SANITY_CHECK): If we didn't sleep here,
2558 start a sleep in the background and wait for it to finish
2559 before creating config.status, hopefully fixing all spurious
2560 testsuite failures involving botched time stamps.

2585 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
2586 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
2587 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
2588 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
2589 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
2590 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.

2628 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
2629 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
2630 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
2631 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion

2642 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".

2674 compile: implement library search to support MSVC static linking
2675 * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): Implement library search and
2676 -static option so that the user can select whether to prefer
2677 dll import libraries or static libraries. This enables MSVC to
2678 link against dlls generated by libtool without requiring libtool
2679 or workarounds such as -lfoo.dll etc. Makes the tests/static.at

2877 in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.
2878 * tests/mdate6.test: New test, to expose eval quotation error.
2879 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.

2889 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2891 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
2892 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
2893 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that
2894 the package developer can disable it altogether. Add a reference
2895 to the proper section for a more in-depth explanation.
2897 Fix typo in manual (`Makefile.in' instead of `Makefile.am').
2898 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.

2909 takes an optional list of conversion types where the requested
2910 conversion isn't needed.
2911 (func_cl_wrapper): Take advantage of the above for cases where
2912 MSYS is doing the conversion for us.
2913 Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
2915 2010-08-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
2917 Support more C++ file extensions for MSVC in the compile script.
2918 * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): MSVC only recognizes the .cpp
2919 file extension as C++, unless it's given a hint. So hint about
2920 .cc, .CC, .cxx, .CXX, c++ and C++. Also do path conversion on
2921 .c, .cpp, .CPP, .lib, .LIB and .Lib files.
2922 * tests/compile3.test: Test the C++ hinting.

2981 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
2982 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
2983 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
2984 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.

2986 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
2987 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

2995 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
2996 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,

3047 Modernize, improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test.
3048 * tests/colon.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

3050 a useless dummy file. Add trailing `:' command.
3051 * tests/colon4.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and
3052 related changes. Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
3053 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.

3089 accordingly to "TODO" comments.
3090 * tests/conff2.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
3091 Add some comments explaining why we don't use the `configure.in'
3092 stub preset be ./defs.

3120 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
3121 Add a trailing `:' command.
3122 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
3123 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
3124 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
3125 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
3126 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
3127 trailing `:' command.
3128 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in
3129 grep regexps. Always use `: >' rather than `touch' to create empty

3179 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
3180 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
3181 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
3182 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".

3263 * lib/compile: MSVC supports naming the output file, the option
3264 is just not called -o, so transform -o into the appropriate form
3265 for MSVC. Also wrap some other options while at it (-L, -l, -Wl,
3266 -Xlinker and -I) and convert file names to windows form where
3267 needed for those options to make MSVC more usable in an
3268 autotooled environment.

3343 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
3344 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the
3345 Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
3346 instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.
3347 Display the content of more files, to ease debugging. Add a
3348 trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
3350 * tests/distcom6.test: Likewise, and avoid to uselessly run
3352 * tests/distcom3.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured stdout
3353 and stderr. Make grepping of captured stderr stricter. Also,
3354 add trailing `:' command.
3355 * tests/distcom4.test: Declare the target `test' in the generated
3356 Makefile.am as `.PHONY'. Display content of more files, to ease
3357 debugging. Add trailing `:' command.
3358 * tests/distcom5.test: Likewise. Also, factor out common sed
3359 script in subroutine `extract_distcommon'.
3360 * tests/distcom7.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to write
3361 test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
3362 * tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
3363 call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
3364 checking of the generated tarball.
3365 (configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
3366 writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
3367 useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
3368 * tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
3369 * tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
3371 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3373 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
3374 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
3375 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
3376 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
3377 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
3378 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
3379 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
3381 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
3382 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
3383 writing one from scratch.

3395 home page and GNU general help page.
3396 * automake.in (usage): Likewise.

3409 names, replace a few one-character names.
3411 2010-06-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3413 Fix typo-related bug in test script silent5.test.
3414 * tests/silent5.test: Use $EGREP, not $GREP (which is not even
3417 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
3418 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
3419 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is
3420 already in $AUTOMAKE by default, so no point in repeating it).
3421 * tests/subobj10.test: Likewise.
3422 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
3423 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

3435 2010-06-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3437 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
3438 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
3439 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
3441 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3443 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
3444 `make dist' to fail.

3452 and AM_LFLAGS, LFLAGS in the order in which they now appear in
3455 * tests/lflags.test, tests/lflags2.test, tests/yflags.test,
3456 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
3457 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
3458 declaration, to please compilers.
3460 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3462 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
3463 $(FLAGS) precedence.
3464 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
3465 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
3466 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
3467 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
3470 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
3471 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
3472 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
3473 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
3475 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

3492 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
3493 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
3494 changes. Also, do not redirect grep output to /dev/null, as this
3495 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
3496 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
3497 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
3498 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
3499 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.
3500 * tests/suffix10.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured make
3501 stdout. Minor cosmetic changes.
3502 * tests/suffix8.test: Likewise. Also, drop useless call to the
3503 env(1) utility, and make grepping of make output stricter by using
3504 $FGREP rather than plain grep.

3519 Add useful comment in test script obsolete.test.
3520 * tests/obsolete.test: Add a comment explaining why we need
3521 an indirection in adding $AUTOUPDATE to $required.
3523 Normalize whitespaces in 'tests/Makefile.am'.
3524 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use only spaces, not tabs, in the
3525 definition of this variable.
3527 Parallel tests generation: improve comments (tiny change).
3528 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Added useful comment to
3531 Tests defs: truly get rid of `$am_defs_included' (unused variable)
3532 * tests/defs.in ($am_defs_included): Remove, its now unused. It
3533 should have been removed in a previous changeset, but the removal
3534 was done only partially (oversight).
3536 2010-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3538 Remove a couple of unneeded conditionals from tests.
3539 * tests/pr243.test, tests/pr266.test, tests/strip.test: No need
3540 for the FOOTEST conditional.
3542 2010-06-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3544 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
3545 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
3547 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
3548 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
3549 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
3550 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
3551 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
3552 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
3553 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
3554 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
3555 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
3556 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
3557 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
3558 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
3559 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to

3562 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
3563 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
3564 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
3565 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
3566 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

3578 here-doc, not using echo.
3579 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
3580 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
3581 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
3582 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
3584 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
3585 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

3587 using cat with an here-doc, not using echo.
3588 * tests/pluseq3.test: Likewise.

3644 * tests/ansi.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
3645 changes. Extended, esp. by running autoconf, ./configure and

3651 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
3652 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
3653 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
3654 test scripts can indeed be useful.
3656 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3658 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
3659 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way

3664 improvement to comments.
3665 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
3666 Prepend it to all error messages.
3668 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
3669 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
3670 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
3671 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
3672 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
3673 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
3675 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3677 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
3678 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
3679 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
3680 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
3681 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
3682 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
3683 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
3684 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
3685 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
3686 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
3687 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
3688 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,

3705 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
3706 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
3707 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
3708 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

3711 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
3712 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

3718 Fix error in generation of parallel tests.
3719 * tests/defs.in ($am_skip_defs): New variable, to be used when
3720 ./defs must be sourced multiple times. If set, unset it and
3721 only define $srcdir; otherwise, also go through the rest of

3724 * tests/Makefile.am ($(parallel_tests)): Update accordingly,
3725 using only $srcdir from defs.
3726 Fixes potential test failures of tests that use $required.
3728 2010-06-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

3752 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3754 Improve declaration of dependencies in the testsuite.
3755 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Remove. Instead, let ...
3756 ($(TEST_LOGS)): ... all test logs depend on the scripts.
3757 * test/gen-parallel-tests: For each parallel test foo-p.test,
3758 let `foo-p.log' also depend on `foo.test', since it is sourced.
3760 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

3825 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
3826 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
3827 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
3828 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
3829 known extension EXT.

3909 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
3911 Report by Christina Gratorp.
3915 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3917 Tiny fix in silent8.test (display output of `make' command).

3919 command is always displayed.
3921 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
3922 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

3930 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
3931 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
3932 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
3933 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
3935 Improved test silent5.test.
3936 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
3937 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
3938 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
3939 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
3940 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
3941 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
3943 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
3944 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
3945 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.

3958 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
3960 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
3961 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if

3972 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
3973 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
3974 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
3975 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
3976 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
3978 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3980 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
3981 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
3982 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
3983 double-quotes and backquotes.
3985 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
3987 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
3989 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
3990 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
3991 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
3992 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
3993 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
3994 eliminate such inconsistencies.
3995 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
3998 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

4009 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
4010 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
4012 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
4013 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
4014 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
4017 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4019 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
4020 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
4021 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
4023 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
4024 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
4025 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
4027 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
4028 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
4029 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
4030 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
4031 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
4033 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4035 Warning and error message formatting cleanups.
4036 * aclocal.in (parse_arguments, main): Remove trailing period or
4037 newline in error or warning messages, avoid capitalization of
4038 the first word of a message.
4039 * automake.in (check_user_variables, handle_languages)
4040 (handle_ltlibraries, scan_aclocal_m4, scan_autoconf_config_files)
4041 (scan_autoconf_files, cond_stack_if, require_file_internal)
4042 (usage, generate_makefile, parse_arguments): Likewise.

4070 ($me): Remove now-unused package-global.
4071 * aclocal.in (check_acinclude): Remove duplicate 'warning: '
4075 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
4076 missing closing parenthesis.
4078 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
4079 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
4080 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
4082 2010-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4084 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
4085 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
4088 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4090 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
4091 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
4092 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
4093 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
4096 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4098 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
4099 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
4100 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
4101 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
4102 Also, bumped the copyright years.
4104 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
4105 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
4106 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
4108 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
4109 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
4110 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
4111 Also, bumped copyright years.
4113 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4115 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
4116 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
4117 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
4119 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
4120 * tests/configure.test: New test.
4121 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4122 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
4124 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4126 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
4127 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
4128 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
4129 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
4130 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
4131 cause the whole test to fail.
4133 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4135 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
4136 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
4137 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
4139 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4141 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
4142 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
4143 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
4144 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
4146 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4148 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
4149 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.
4151 Avoid possible false negatives in canon-name.test.
4152 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
4155 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4157 Print 'warnings are treated as errors' note if needed.
4158 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fix typo in comment.
4159 (_print_message): If -Werror is enabled, print a 'warnings are
4160 treated as errors' note before the first such warning.
4161 * tests/warnopts.test: Adjust comment to mention expected warning.
4162 Adjust code to ignore 'warnings are treated as errors' note.
4163 * tests/location.test: Adjust expected output with -Werror.
4164 * tests/werror4.test: New test.
4165 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
4168 Ensure we don't print 'warning:' or 'error:' twice.
4169 * Makefile.am (sc_ensure_testsuite_has_run): New helper rule.
4170 (sc_tests_logs_duplicate_prefixes): New rule, to check for
4171 wrong-looking warning and error messages in the test suite logs.
4172 * aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Remove duplicate
4174 * tests/vars3.test: Rename variable to avoid false positive.
4176 Prepend type to warning, error, and fatal messages.
4177 For the first part of messages of types `error' or `fatal',
4178 prepend `error: ' to the message. Prepend `warning: ' to
4179 warning messages, whatever the setting of -Werror.
4180 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (partial): Move up definition.
4181 (_format_message): Emit `header' and `footer' strings only with
4182 the first resp. last part of a set of partial messages.
4183 * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Add missing '1;' statement at the
4185 (Automake::ChannelDefs): Setup warning channels with header
4186 `warning: ', error and fatal messages with header `error: '.
4187 * tests/condinc2.test, tests/ltinstloc.test: Adjust expected
4189 * tests/comment5.test: Likewise. Also, include stack notes
4190 should not start with `error:'.
4191 * tests/location.test: Likewise. Also, try both -Werror and
4194 Report by Bruno Haible.
4196 Fix capitalization of error messages, reword one message.
4197 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Do not capitalize the first
4198 word in the error message.
4199 * automake.in (require_file_internal): Likewise. Also, reword
4200 and line-wrap for better readability.
4201 * tests/distcom7.test, tests/pluseq5.test, tests/pluseq9.test:
4204 Fix connected warnings about obsolete exeext override.
4205 * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (define): Merge two warnings that belong
4206 together, by setting the 'partial' flag for the first one.
4208 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
4209 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
4210 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
4211 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
4212 and unstable exit status values.
4213 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
4214 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
4215 $warnings_are_errors.
4216 * tests/werror3.test: New test.
4217 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
4220 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4222 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
4223 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
4224 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
4225 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
4227 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
4228 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
4229 succeds unexpectedly.
4231 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
4232 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
4233 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
4234 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.
4236 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4238 Use -9 for maximum xz compression with dist-xz.
4239 * lib/am/distdir.am (dist-xz, dist, dist-all): Pass -9 to xz.
4240 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
4241 Report by Pavel Sanda.
4243 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4245 Avoid possible false negatives in cond46.test.
4246 * tests/cond46.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag (and bumped
4247 copyright years). Due to this change, the testcase should now
4248 fail on unexpected failures in calls to $ACLOCAL/$AUTOMAKE (whose
4249 outcomes were previously unchecked), and on failures in grepping
4250 the expected diagnostic in Automake stderr.
4252 2010-04-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4254 Generated tests are now just a thin layer around other tests.
4255 * tests/Makefile.am: Rewrite the rule to generate the `*-p.test'
4256 test scripts so that any of them simply includes the corresponding
4257 `*.test' script (after setting `$parallel_tests' to `yes').
4258 * tests/.gitignore: Add wildcard for temporary files used in the
4259 generation of `*-p.test' tests.
4261 2010-03-30 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4263 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
4264 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
4265 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
4268 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
4269 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
4270 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
4271 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
4274 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4276 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
4277 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):
4278 Remove all usage of @acronym and @sc in the manual.
4279 Suggested by Karl Berry.
4281 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
4283 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
4284 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
4287 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4289 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.
4290 * automake.in, lib/Automake/Channels.pm,
4291 lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm,
4292 lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm,
4293 m4/options.m4, m4/substnot.m4: Fix macro comment format.
4295 2010-03-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
4296 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4298 Avoid generation of `tests/defs-p' file.
4299 * tests/defs.in: In the generated `configure.in' snippet: call
4300 `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' with the `parallel-tests' option if the shell
4301 variable `parallel_tests' is set to `yes'.
4302 * tests/Makefile.am (defs-p): Target removed.
4303 (check_SCRIPTS): Removed `defs-p'.
4304 (clean-local-check): Do not unlink `defs-p' anymore.
4305 ($(parallel_tests)): Transformation rules for the test scripts
4307 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Selection rules for the test
4309 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Set `$parallel_tests' to `yes'
4310 then include `./defs' (rather than simply including `./defs-p').
4311 * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Likewise.
4312 * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise.
