3 tests/README: update obsoleted advice
4 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
5 Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
6 hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
7 Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
8 more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
9 So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
10 of hand-written tests instead.
11 (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
12 suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
13 line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
14 and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
15 and typical `DESTDIR'.

19 test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native'
20 * tests/defs.in (non-cross): Rename requirement ...
21 (native): ... to this, which is clearer and fits the
22 existing lingo better.
23 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
25 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
27 testsuite: be more cross-compile friendly
28 * tests/defs.in (cross_compiling): New subroutine.
29 (am__tool_prefix): New internal variable.
30 (gcc, g++, gcj): Force the use of the correct "tool prefix"
32 (gfortran, g77, non-cross): New requirements.
34 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
36 tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
37 * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
38 the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
39 This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
40 with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
43 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
45 tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
46 Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
47 as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
48 to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
49 having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
50 integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
51 * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
53 (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
54 (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
55 implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
57 (yacc): New requirement, alias for `bison'. A more appropriate
58 implementation, looking for a generic `yacc' program, will follow

63 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
64 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the
65 parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are
66 not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests
67 driver do not try to strip them.

81 to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh.
82 ($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions
84 * tests/README: Updated.
85 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
87 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
89 tests: fix typo (copy & paste blunder) in heading comment
90 * tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Correctly refer to the sister test
91 as `maintclean.test', not as `maintclean-vpath.test'.
93 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
95 tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'
96 * tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely
97 superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'.
98 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
100 2011-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
102 testsuite: more environment sanitization
103 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
104 or `required' is in the environment.
105 ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
106 from the environment.
107 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
108 * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.
109 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
110 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and
111 `required'. Adjust comments.
113 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
115 tests: don't allow `$me' to be overridden from the environment

117 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: New test.
118 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variable `me'.
120 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.

126 script. Add some explicative comments.
128 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
130 depcomp tests: don't reject slower dependency extractors
131 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking'
132 option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency
133 extractors are not rejected.
134 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise. Also ...
135 (foo.c): ... since we are at it, fix spacing to be consistent
136 with GNU coding standards.

154 depcomp: correct invalid sed invocation
155 * lib/depcomp: Insert missing -e before '/:$/d'.
156 Otherwise, that use of sed would treat '/:$/d' as a file name.

160 maintainer check: quote literal `$' in Makefile rule
161 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_PATH_SEPARATOR): Escape literal `$'

183 depcomp: fix bugs in tests and in the depcomp script
184 * lib/depcomp (gcc): Remove duplicated `-e' from sed invocation.
185 * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that
186 has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
187 causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a
188 too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
189 Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which
190 explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
191 fails. Add other useful comments.
192 * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.

206 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
207 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
208 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
209 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
212 javac: no source files
213 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
215 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
216 seems to fix this problem.
217 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
218 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
219 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
221 2011-04-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
223 test defs: new requirement for the default java compiler

251 Fix makedepend depmode for VPATH builds.
252 * lib/depcomp [makedepend]: Remove any VPATH prefix from the
253 object file name, so a rebuild doesn't attempt to update the
254 .Po files in the source tree.

310 2011-03-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
312 tests: fix unindent to use printf not echo for script.
313 * tests/defs.in: Use printf rather than echo, as the latter may

320 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
321 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
322 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
323 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
324 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
325 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
326 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
327 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
328 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
329 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
330 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
331 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
332 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.
333 * tests/include.test: Renamed ...
334 * tests/hdr-vars-defined-once.test: ... to this.
335 * tests/sinclude.test: Renamed ...

344 tests: fix bug in alloca*.test
345 * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter,
346 add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
347 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
349 * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
350 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit
351 v1.11-315-gd51e7b7 "libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES

357 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
358 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
359 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
360 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
361 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
362 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
363 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.

378 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
379 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
380 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
381 to unindent without using a temporary file.
383 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
385 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
386 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
387 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
388 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
389 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
390 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
391 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
392 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
393 * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to
394 macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
395 does not fail for the wrong reasons.
396 * tests/ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool
397 support works with LT_INIT-based interface.
398 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

402 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
403 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
404 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
405 'r--r--r--') could fail.
406 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
407 test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
408 before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.

522 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
523 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.
525 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
527 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
528 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components
529 that consist of `=', `(', `)', or `!'. Move protection as early
530 as possible, to avoid errors such as with Tru64 sh `test -z ='.
531 * tests/instsh2.test: Extend test to cover more possibilities.
532 Fixes 1.12 instspc-equal-install.test failure on Tru64/OSF 5.1.

537 docs: automake testsuite doesn't use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT anymore
538 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Do not claim Automake uses
539 TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for the perl driver. Instead, point to the
540 parallel-tests driver.
542 2011-01-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
544 Allow _AM_DEPENDENCIES to be used later in configure.
545 * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Remove a previously existing
546 conftest.dir before recreating it.
548 Report by Eric Blake, from report by Scott McCreary against M4.

554 be turned unreadable.
556 2011-01-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
558 tests: allow double-colon spy.test to work with HP-UX make.
559 * tests/spy.test: Fix comment typos. Ensure prerequisites we
560 do not want to depend on are strictly older than the target.
561 Also test with a target out of date wrt. more than one rule.
563 2011-01-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
565 tests: remove useless requirements from cond36.test

572 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
573 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
574 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
575 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
576 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.
577 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
580 2011-01-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
582 * NEWS, README: Update copyright years.
584 Fix parallel-tests.test failure with HP-UX make.
585 * tests/parallel-tests.test: Sleep inside inner tests, so logs
586 are newer than logs of tests they depend on, for HP-UX make.
588 2011-01-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
590 docs: ensure example are separated with empty lines in the input

604 tests: fix spurious failures in two texinfo tests
605 * tests/txinfo.test ($required): Add 'makeinfo'.
606 * tests/txinfo8.test: Create a dummy 'textutils.info' file, so
607 that make won't try to run makeinfo (which could be unavailable)
609 Found by NixOS Hydra, reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
611 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
613 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
614 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to
615 require computing the canonical host name. Ensure config.guess
616 and config.sub files are present for respective checks.

618 * tests/flibs.test: Likewise.
619 * tests/fort4.test: Use $AUTOMAKE -a for installing files.

646 tests: work around a texi+cygnus bug causing a spurious XFAIL

648 automake with the `-Wno-override' option to work around a bug
649 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.
650 * tests/txinfo5.test: Update heading comments.

658 2011-01-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
660 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
661 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
662 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
663 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
664 uselessly run it in a subshell.
665 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
666 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
667 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
669 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
671 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
672 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
673 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
674 Makefile.in stricter.
675 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
676 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
678 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
679 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
680 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
681 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
682 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
683 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
684 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
685 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
686 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
687 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
688 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
689 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
690 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
691 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
692 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
693 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
694 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
695 so they have been moved ...
696 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
697 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
698 trailing `:' command.
699 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
700 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
701 append to configure.in.
702 * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
703 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
704 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
705 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
706 minor cosmetic improvements.
707 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
708 trailing `:' command.

822 distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".

824 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
825 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
826 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
827 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
828 information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

879 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
880 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
881 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
882 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
883 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
884 tests that force gcc depmode.
885 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
886 * tests/silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
887 * tests/silent-many-generic.test, tests/silent-many-gcc.test: ...

1014 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1015 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1016 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1017 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1018 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1020 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1022 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1023 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1024 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1025 are not part of the Automake API.
1027 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1029 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1030 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
1031 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
1033 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1035 Rebuild menus in the manual.
1036 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
1037 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1039 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
1040 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1041 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1042 to fix quoting issues.
1043 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1044 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
1046 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1048 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.

1050 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1052 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1054 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1055 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1056 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1057 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1058 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1059 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1060 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1061 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1062 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

1069 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1070 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1071 of test `vala2.test'.
1073 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1075 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1076 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1077 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1079 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1080 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1081 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1082 and header remaking.
1083 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1084 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1085 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of

1110 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
1111 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1112 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1113 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1114 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1115 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to

1120 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1122 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1123 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1124 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1125 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.

1133 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1134 are expanded before rules.
1135 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1136 get matched as a rule.
1137 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1139 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1141 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
1142 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1143 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

1160 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1161 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1162 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1163 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1164 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1165 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1166 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1167 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.

1202 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
1203 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
1204 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
1205 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
1206 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion

1217 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
1218 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's

1231 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1232 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

1289 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
1290 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly

1297 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1298 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1299 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
1301 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
1302 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
1303 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
1304 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1306 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
1307 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
1308 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1309 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1310 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
1311 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
1312 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
1313 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.

1351 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.
1352 (error): New function.
1353 (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop
1354 in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.

1393 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
1394 some grepping slightly stricter.
1395 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
1396 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
1398 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

1431 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1432 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from

1449 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.

1453 shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.

1478 Tweak, extend and improve tests `cond[a-z]*.test'.
1479 * tests/condd.test: Add trailing `:' command. Typofix in
1481 * tests/condhook.test: Make sure target `install-data-hook' is
1482 not called by `make install', but that data files are installed.
1483 Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in. Add trailing `:' command.
1484 * tests/condhook2.test: New test, sister test of condhook, with
1486 * tests/condinc2.test: Use proper m4 quoting in configure.in.

1495 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1497 Modernize, improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test.
1498 * tests/colon.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by

1536 disabled test (which didn't work with autoconf <= 2.59, but now we
1537 are requiring autoconf 2.62, so...)
1538 * tests/conflnk4.test: Cosmetic changes, and extend existing tests
1539 accordingly to "TODO" comments.

1542 stub preset be ./defs.
1543 * tests/confh.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by ./defs,
1544 rather than writing one from scratch, and do not call AC_OUTPUT.

1570 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1571 Add a trailing `:' command.
1572 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1573 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1574 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1575 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1576 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a
1577 trailing `:' command.
1578 * tests/depcomp3.test: Quote literal dots and dollar characters in

1593 statement required by OpenBSD's sh `set -e' more robust, and add
1594 explanatory comments to it.
1595 * tests/depcomp7.test: Likewise, and add a trailing `:' command.
1597 Separate failing part of test `all.test'.
1598 * tests/all.test: Keep only (x)failing part of the test. Working

1622 `errexit' shell flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion
1623 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1624 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1626 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1627 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.
1628 * tests/subobj9.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1629 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1630 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1631 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1632 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1633 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1634 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1654 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1655 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1656 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1658 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1659 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.

1716 variable, rather than re-evaluating the shell expression for
1718 * tests/cond40.test: Extend test.
1721 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1722 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1752 autoconf/automake macros.
1754 Modernize and improve test scripts `dist*.test'.
1755 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1756 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.
1757 * tests/distcom2.test: Do not run the same test script on the

1784 2010-07-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1786 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1787 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1788 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1789 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1790 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1791 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1792 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1794 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1795 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
1796 writing one from scratch.

1830 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1831 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1832 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1835 * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
1836 * tests/lex3.test (Makefile.am): Similarly, remove useless use

1850 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1851 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1852 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1854 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1856 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause
1857 `make dist' to fail.

1869 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1870 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1871 declaration, to please compilers.
1873 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1875 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1876 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1877 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1878 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over
1879 $(AM_LFLAGS) and $(YFLAGS) has precedence over $(AM_YFLAGS).
1880 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1883 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1884 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.
1885 * tests/lflags.test: New test, check that user $(LFLAGS) takes
1886 precedence over automake (AM_LFLAGS) and (foo_LFLAGS). Still
1888 * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.

1905 changes. Make grepping of Makefile.in slightly stricter.
1906 * tests/suffix.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related

1908 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1909 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1910 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1911 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1912 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1946 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
1947 * tests/symlink3.test: Deleted, separated into two new, more
1949 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1950 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.

1954 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1955 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1956 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1957 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1958 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1959 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1960 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1961 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1963 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1964 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1965 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').
1966 Avoid to explicitly export CC for configure (that's already done
1967 in ./defs). Avoid potential problems with unpredictable make
1968 output. Finally, make grepping of Makefile.in stricter.

1978 Modernize, improve and/or fix tests `pluseq*.test.
1979 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
1980 here-doc, not using echo.
1981 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
1982 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
1983 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
1984 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
1986 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
1987 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2013 * tests/vars3.test: Likewise.
2014 * tests/missing4.test: Likewise, and fix a call to grep not to use
2016 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
2017 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2019 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.
2020 * tests/backsl.test: Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and

2044 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2046 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
2047 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
2048 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
2049 test scripts can indeed be useful.
2051 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2053 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
2054 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
2057 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.
2058 * bootstrap: Consistently use two-spaces indentation. Cosmetic
2059 improvement to comments.
2060 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
2061 Prepend it to all error messages.
2063 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
2064 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2065 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2066 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2067 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2068 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
2070 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2072 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
2073 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
2074 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2075 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
2076 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
2077 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
2078 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
2079 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
2080 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
2081 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
2082 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
2083 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
2084 rather than in the middle.

2086 `./defs', instead that later in the script.
2087 * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.

2096 * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
2097 * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
2098 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
2099 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
2100 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
2101 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
2102 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
2103 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
2104 * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
2106 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
2107 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

2133 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2135 Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
2136 * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
2137 the verbose log contains all output.
2138 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
2139 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
2141 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2143 Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

2155 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
2156 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
2157 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2158 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2159 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2160 known extension EXT.

2232 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2234 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
2235 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
2236 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
2237 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
2238 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
2239 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
2240 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
2242 Report by Christina Gratorp.
2246 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2248 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
2249 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2250 output produced by `make'.
2251 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
2253 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
2254 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

2257 * tests/silent4.test: Likewise.
2258 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2259 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
2260 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
2262 Improved test silent5.test.
2263 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
2264 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2265 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2266 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2267 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2268 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2270 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2271 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2272 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2273 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2275 New test `silentcxx.test' (Automake silent-mode with C++).

2277 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2279 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2280 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2281 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2283 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2284 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2285 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2287 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2288 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2289 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2290 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).
2291 * tests/silent2.test: Likewise.

2297 2010-01-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2299 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2300 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2301 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2302 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2304 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2305 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2306 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2307 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2308 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2309 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2310 dependencies are enabled.
2311 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2312 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2313 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2314 dependency tracking.
2315 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2316 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2317 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2319 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2321 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2322 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2323 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2324 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2325 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2327 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2329 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2330 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2331 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2332 double-quotes and backquotes.
2334 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2336 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2338 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2339 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2340 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2341 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2342 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2343 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2344 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2347 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2349 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2350 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2351 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2353 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2354 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2355 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2358 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2360 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2361 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2362 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2364 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2365 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2366 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2368 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2369 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2370 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2371 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2372 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2374 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2377 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2378 missing closing parenthesis.
2380 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2381 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2382 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2384 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2386 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2387 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2390 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2392 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2393 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2394 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2395 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2398 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2400 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2401 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2402 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2403 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2404 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2406 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2407 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2408 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2410 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2411 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2412 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2413 Also, bumped copyright years.
2415 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2417 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2418 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2419 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2421 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2422 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2423 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2424 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2426 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2428 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2429 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2430 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2431 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2432 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2433 cause the whole test to fail.
2435 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2437 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2438 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:
2439 @<...> was used instead of C<...>.
2441 2010-04-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2443 Refactor tests on Automake TESTS color output.
2444 * tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
2445 * tests/color2.test: ... this new file.
2446 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Extended accordingly.
2448 2010-04-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2450 Fix typos in comments in test confh5.test
2451 * tests/confh5.test: Fix a couple of typos in comments.

2459 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2460 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2461 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2462 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2463 and unstable exit status values.
2464 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2465 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2466 $warnings_are_errors.

2473 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2474 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2475 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2476 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2478 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2479 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2480 succeds unexpectedly.

2483 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2484 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

2496 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2497 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2498 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2501 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2502 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2503 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2504 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2507 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2509 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
