3 testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
4 Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
5 marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated
6 invariants. It makes little sense to force these tests to also
7 run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so
8 offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
9 overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite).
10 * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent
11 the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests'
13 * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
14 * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.
16 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
18 testsuite: allow tests to avoid the use of 'parallel-tests' option
19 * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Do not generate "siblings" for tests
20 that explicitly define the `parallel_tests', whether to "yes" or
21 to any other value. Extend heading comments to give a rationale
23 * tests/README: Update.
25 2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
27 tests/README: update obsoleted advice
28 * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
29 Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
30 hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
31 Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
32 more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
33 So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
34 of hand-written tests instead.
35 (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
36 suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
37 line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
38 and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
39 and typical `DESTDIR'.
41 2011-05-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
43 test defs: rename requirement 'non-cross' -> 'native'
44 * tests/defs.in (non-cross): Rename requirement ...
45 (native): ... to this, which is clearer and fits the
46 existing lingo better.
47 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
49 2011-05-15 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
51 testsuite: be more cross-compile friendly
52 * tests/defs.in (cross_compiling): New subroutine.
53 (am__tool_prefix): New internal variable.
54 (gcc, g++, gcj): Force the use of the correct "tool prefix"
56 (gfortran, g77, non-cross): New requirements.
58 2011-05-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
60 tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
61 * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
62 the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
63 This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
64 with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
67 2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
69 tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
70 Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
71 as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
72 to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
73 having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
74 integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
75 * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
77 (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
78 (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
79 implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
81 (yacc): New requirement, alias for `bison'. A more appropriate
82 implementation, looking for a generic `yacc' program, will follow
85 2011-04-24 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
87 tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
88 * tests/check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the
89 parallel-tests option, do not check that VPATH components are
90 not present in the displayed test name, since the simple-tests
91 driver do not try to strip them.
93 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
95 test: self check subroutines for skipping/failing of tests
96 * tests/self-check-report.test: New test.

102 test defs: new subroutines for test skipping/failing
103 * tests/defs.in (Exit): Move definition of this function earlier.
104 (warn_, skip_, fail_, framework_failure_): New functions, inspired
105 to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh.
106 ($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions
108 * tests/README: Updated.
109 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
111 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
113 tests: fix typo (copy & paste blunder) in heading comment
114 * tests/maintclean-vpath.test: Correctly refer to the sister test
115 as `maintclean.test', not as `maintclean-vpath.test'.
117 2011-04-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
119 tests: remove redundant test `mclean.test'
120 * tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely
121 superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'.
122 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
124 2011-04-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
126 testsuite: more environment sanitization
127 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
128 or `required' is in the environment.
129 ($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
130 from the environment.
131 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
132 * tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.
133 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
134 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and
135 `required'. Adjust comments.
137 2011-04-18 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
139 tests: don't allow `$me' to be overridden from the environment
140 * tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if $me is in the environment.
141 * tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: New test.
142 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variable `me'.
144 Suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
146 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
148 test defs: allow overriding of `$me'
149 * tests/defs.in ($me): Allow overriding by the including test
150 script. Add some explicative comments.
152 2011-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
154 depcomp tests: don't reject slower dependency extractors
155 * tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking'
156 option to `configure' invocations, so that slower dependency
157 extractors are not rejected.
158 * tests/depcomp8a.test: Likewise. Also ...
159 (foo.c): ... since we are at it, fix spacing to be consistent
160 with GNU coding standards.

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

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

208 * lib/depcomp (gcc): Remove duplicated `-e' from sed invocation.
209 * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that
210 has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
211 causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a
212 too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
213 Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which
214 explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
215 fails. Add other useful comments.
216 * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.

230 test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
231 The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
232 cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
233 print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
236 javac: no source files
237 Usage: javac <options> <source files>
239 Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
240 seems to fix this problem.
241 * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
242 `javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
243 Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
245 2011-04-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

275 Fix makedepend depmode for VPATH builds.
276 * lib/depcomp [makedepend]: Remove any VPATH prefix from the

344 maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
345 The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
346 the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
347 cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
348 error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
349 builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
350 See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
351 This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
352 which are possibly problematic in this regard.
353 * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
354 (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
355 (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
356 (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.
357 * tests/include.test: Renamed ...
358 * tests/hdr-vars-defined-once.test: ... to this.
359 * tests/sinclude.test: Renamed ...

368 tests: fix bug in alloca*.test
369 * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter,
370 add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
371 and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
373 * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
374 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit

381 tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
382 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
383 by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
384 test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
385 message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
386 Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
387 * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.

401 test defs: unindent without temporary file
402 * tests/defs.in (commented_sed_unindent_prog): Commented Sed program
403 that strips the "proper" amount of leading whitespace.
404 (unindent): Lazily strip comments from the above program and use it
405 to unindent without using a temporary file.
407 2011-02-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
409 libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
410 When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
411 defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
412 in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
413 version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
414 suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
415 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
416 with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
417 * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to
418 macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
419 does not fail for the wrong reasons.
420 * tests/ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool
421 support works with LT_INIT-based interface.
422 Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

426 tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
427 Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
428 containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
429 'r--r--r--') could fail.
430 * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary

532 tests: avoid fn99*.test failures due to buggy AIX 5.3 cp -R.
533 * tests/fn99.test, tests/fn99subdir.test: Skip if an initial
534 `cp -R' of the subdir tree already fails; AIX 5.3 cp messes
535 up its internal memory when copying this tree.

545 tests: less strict double-colon spy.test again.
546 * tests/spy.test: We know BSD make doesn't invoke more than one
547 double-colon rule, so no need to expose that failure.

551 install-sh: avoid Tru64 sh `test' operator precedence issues.
552 * lib/install-sh: Protect file names and directory components

596 parallel-tests: work around Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh read bugs.
597 * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html):
598 Test file readability before redirecting input from it, to avoid
599 exiting Tru64/OSF 5.1 sh which treats read as special builtin.
600 * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: New test.

635 2011-01-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
637 Avoid testsuite failures due to Autoconf Fortran change.
638 Autoconf v2.68-21-g727ce95 causes AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to

673 in the texinfo + cygnus interaction.

684 Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
685 * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
686 `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
687 redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
688 uselessly run it in a subshell.
689 * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
690 make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
691 * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
693 * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
695 * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
696 changes. Add trailing `:' command.
697 * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
698 Makefile.in stricter.
699 * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
700 changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
702 * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
703 to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
704 to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
705 * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
706 for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
707 * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
708 it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
709 * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
710 * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
711 * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
712 for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
713 cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
714 * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
715 and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
716 that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
717 preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
718 "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
719 so they have been moved ...
720 * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
721 * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
722 trailing `:' command.
723 * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
724 Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
725 append to configure.in.

727 * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
728 make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
729 after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
730 minor cosmetic improvements.
731 * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
732 trailing `:' command.

848 its output each time for a single error message, rather than
849 running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
850 all the expected error messages. This should work around make
851 implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more

903 Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
904 In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
905 use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
906 unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
907 compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
908 tests that force gcc depmode.
909 From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.

1021 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1023 Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
1024 * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
1025 post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
1026 of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
1027 on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
1028 * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
1029 Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
1030 improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
1033 2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1035 Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
1036 * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
1037 hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This check worked by setting
1038 the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
1039 not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
1040 This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
1041 commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
1042 tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
1044 2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1046 tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
1047 * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove
1048 double-hash comments from makefile rule commands, they
1049 are not part of the Automake API.
1051 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1053 tests: work around dash quoting issue in case statements.
1054 * tests/color.test, tests/color2.test: Quote variable in case
1055 pattern, to avoid skipping tests with dash 0.5.5.1.
1057 2010-11-14 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1059 Rebuild menus in the manual.
1060 * doc/automake.texi: Rebuild menus (using ^C ^U ^A in emacs).
1061 Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor for the suggestion.
1063 Fix install-strip when $(STRIP) contains several words.
1064 * lib/am/install.am (install-strip): Update comment. Use
1065 separate sub-make invocations for empty and nonempty $(STRIP),
1066 to fix quoting issues.
1067 * tests/strip2.test, tests/strip3.test: New tests.
1068 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjust.
1070 2010-11-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1072 Fix yaccdry.test failure: require bison.
1073 * tests/yaccdry.test: Require bison.
1074 Found by NixOS Hydra.
1076 2010-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1078 Fix a bug in variable concatenation with `+='.
1079 * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
1080 "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
1081 later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
1082 character, instead of trying to be uselessly smarter by using
1083 escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes
1084 where erroneously inserted in the variable's final value.
1085 * tests/pluseq11.test: New test, exposing the bug.
1086 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1087 Reported by Andy Wingo.
1089 2010-11-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1091 Fix bug in rules for creating vala vapi/header files.
1092 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Add forgotten "fi" in an
1093 if control structure in a generated make rules. Bug introduced
1094 by previous commit `v1.11-221-gd7c1679', and revealed by failure
1095 of test `vala2.test'.
1097 2010-11-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1099 Fix and document rules to not touch the tree with `make -n'.
1100 * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): Document the problem of
1101 modifications during dry-run execution, propose solution.
1103 * automake.in (lang_vala_finish_target): Split recipe so the
1104 stamp file is not removed with GNU `make -n'.
1105 (lang_yacc_target_hook): Separate removal of parser output file
1106 and header remaking.
1107 * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Determine whether -n was
1108 passed to make, take care not to remove any files in that case.
1109 * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_H%): Separate removal of
1110 %STAMP% file from induced remaking of config header.
1111 * tests/autohdrdry.test, tests/lispdry.test, tests/yaccdry.test:
1113 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

1121 2010-10-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1123 Add support for newer python versions.
1124 * m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Add python2.7 and python3.2 to
1125 _AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST. Since we are at it, break a long
1126 line and fix indentation.
1128 From a report by Thomas Klausner.
1130 Add test for `AM_WITH_DMALLOC' macro.
1131 * tests/dmalloc.test: New test.
1132 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
1134 Fix nits and bugs in tests `help*.test'.
1135 * tests/help4.test: Fix broken sed commands used to strip `-W...'
1136 flags away from "$AUTOMAKE" and "$ACLOCAL".
1137 * tests/help3.test: Likewise, and fix a botched comment.
1138 * tests/help.test: Likewise. Also, use "AUTOMAKE_fails ..."
1139 instead of "$AUTOMAKE ... && Exit 1", for consistency and to
1140 please maintainer-check.
1141 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1143 2010-10-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1144 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1146 Improve tests `help*.test' (also fixes maintcheck failures).
1147 * tests/help.test: To run automake, use `$AUTOMAKE' with all `-W'
1148 flags stripped away rather than hard-coded `automake-$APIVERSION',
1149 to better honour user-overrides. Similarly for aclocal.
1150 * tests/help2.test: Likewise.
1151 * tests/help3.test: Likewise.
1152 * tests/help4.test: Likewise.
1154 2010-10-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1156 Document and fix expansion of variables before rules.
1157 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Document that variables
1158 are expanded before rules.
1159 * lib/am/check.am (am__check_post): Reword a bit so it does not
1160 get matched as a rule.
1161 Suggestion by Ben Pfaff.
1163 2010-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1165 Revert "parallel-tests: avoid command-line length limit issue."
1166 This reverts commit 24e3b4ee2f8cb9f72dd94a05a893f3d4e88b7835,
1167 because it re-opened the bug fixed by v1.11-10-g218e678.

1182 2010-09-26 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1184 Extend tests on `--help' and `--version' options.
1185 * tests/help.test: Create a new empty directory and chdir into
1186 it, rather than removing already present files. Run the aclocal
1187 and automake wrapper scripts directly, instead of relying on
1188 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL. Be sure to correctly match literal dots
1189 in aclocal's and automake's stderr. Add a trailing `:' command.
1190 * tests/help2.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1191 `--version' works in directories with broken `configure.in'.
1192 * tests/help3.test: New test, checking that options `--help' and
1193 `--version' take precedence on the other options.
1194 * tests/help4.test: New test, checking that the first among the
1195 `--help' and `--version' options to be specified on the command
1197 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
1199 2010-09-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1201 Testsuite: Use `$PATH_SEPARATOR', not `:', when extending PATH.
1202 * tests/compile2.test: Do no uselessly (implicitly) repeat the
1203 computation of PATH_SEPARATOR again.

1224 2010-09-22 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1226 Manual: be more agnostic w.r.t. version control system used.
1227 * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): Also refer to `.svn'
1228 directories as a type of probably-unwanted files that are copied
1229 regardless when adding directories to EXTRA_DIST.
1230 (The dist Hook): Show a dist-hook example which removes Subversion
1231 `.svn' private directories from distdir, rather than CVS private

1237 * doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Index the non-standard
1238 example about "git-dist" under the "git-dist" label, not under
1241 Perl modules: remove references to "Automake CVS repository".
1242 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Update comments to refer to "Automke's

1253 lib/Automake/.cvsignore, lib/Automake/tests/.cvsignore,
1254 m4/.cvsignore, tests/.cvsignore: Files deleted. Even when using
1255 savannah's CVS readonly mirror there's no way to commit back to
1256 the real repository, so this files are not worth maintaining or

1313 that made the test useless. Since we are at it, improve
1314 comments and make grepping of generated Makefile.in slightly
1316 Regression introduced by change "Modernize, improve and/or
1317 extend tests `colon*.test" (Stefano Lattarini, 2010-08-08).
1319 2010-09-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1321 Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.
1322 The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
1323 target system for Automake. So it's pointless to put it in
1325 * tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
1326 * tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
1327 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise.
1328 From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
1330 Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
1331 * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
1332 instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
1333 * tests/confh4.test: Relax the grepping of Makefile.in w.r.t.
1334 white spaces. Do not create useless dummy source file `foo.c'
1335 and useless dummy header file `acconfig.h'.
1336 (configure.in): Remove superfluous call to `AC_OUTPUT'.
1337 * tests/confh6.test: Add trailing `:' command.
1338 * tests/confh7.test: In comments, add reference to ...
1339 * tests/confh8.test: ... this new test, "semantic" sister

1371 2010-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1373 Improve robustness of mdate-sh script.

1375 $ls_command is word-split properly upon invocation.
1376 (error): New function.
1377 (main): Use it. Improve error checking to avoid endless loop
1378 in case $ls_command gave bogus output. Fix eval quotation.

1392 Docs: clarify how to avoid automatic dependencies tracking.
1393 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Mention that
1394 automatic dependencies tracking is enabled by default, but that

1399 * doc/automake.texi (Automatic dependency tracking): Fix typo.

1408 Tweak and/or extend some `acloca*.test' tests.
1409 * tests/aclocal8.test: Ensure verbose printing of captured
1411 * tests/aclocal.test: Likewise. Also, add trailing `:'
1413 * tests/acloca19.test: Likewise.
1414 * tests/aclocal5.test: Add trailing `:' command, and prefer
1415 `$me' over hard-coded test name.
1416 * tests/aclocal6.test: Likewise.
1417 * tests/aclocal18.test: Add trailing `:' command, and make
1418 some grepping slightly stricter.
1419 * tests/acloca14.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `diff' over
1420 `cmp', and add some "cosmetic" blank lines.
1422 2010-08-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1424 Tweak and extend tests `pr[!0-9]*.test'.
1425 * tests/primary3.test: Add trailing `:' command.

1449 flag earlier in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs).
1450 * tests/pr220.test: Make grepping of Automake's stderr stricter.
1451 Also, add trailing `:' command, and cosmetic changes in spacing.
1452 * tests/pr224.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1453 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Do not export
1454 `CC=gcc' to configure explicitly (it's already exported globally
1455 in ./defs, since we have "gcc" in $required). Use the stub for
1456 `configure.in' created by ./defs, rather than writing it from
1457 scratch. Do not create dummy files required by "gnu" mode (e.g.
1458 README, NEWS), since we run automake in foreign mode anyway.
1459 * tests/pr72.test: Enable `errexit' shell flags, and related
1460 changes. Extend existing checks a bit.
1461 * tests/pr9.test: Likewise. Also, avoid obsolescent constructs in

1469 `configure.in'. Enable the `errexit' shell flag, and related
1470 changes. Cosmetic changes to spacing, add trailing `:' command,
1471 and add a "FIXME" comment.
1472 * tests/pr266.test: Likewise, and add explicit command line switch
1473 `--enable-dependecy-tracking' to the ./configure call.
1474 * tests/pr279.test: Avoid obsolescent constructs in the generated
1475 `configure.in'; also, use the `configure.in' stub created by
1476 ./defs, rather than writing it from scratch. Enable `errexit'
1477 shell flag, and related changes. Add trailing `:' command.

1480 * tests/pr307.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1481 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Escape literal
1482 dots in grep regular expressions. Also, add a trailing `:'
1483 command, and cosmetic changes to spacing.

1594 * tests/depcomp.test: Do not create useless dummy source files.
1595 Add a trailing `:' command.
1596 * tests/depcomp2.test: Use `unset' on the CFLAG variable to ensure
1597 it's not in in the environment, rather than exporting it with an
1598 empty value. Do not pass CC=gcc to configure, as that's already
1599 done in ./defs since we have gcc in $required. Ensure verbose
1600 printing of captured stderr, and normalize its checking. Add a

1647 of ./defs). Do not create useless dummy ac-init file `f'.
1648 * tests/subobj7.test: Do not create useless dummy ac-init file
1650 (configure.in): Use the stub created by `./defs', rather than
1651 writing it from scratch, and avoid obsolescent constructs.

1653 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Fail the test if
1654 `make distcheck' fails. Ensure verbose printing of captured make
1655 stdout. Avoid useless fork by doing simple grep instead of using
1656 test -n "`COMMAND | grep ...`".
1657 (configure.in): Normalize the call to AC_INIT w.r.t. other tests.
1658 (Makefile.am): Explicitly mark target "print" as phony.

1678 Bootstrap: don't search perl in $PATH.
1679 * bootstrap: Do not explicitly search perl in $PATH anymore.
1680 ($PATH_SEPARATOR): Removed, it's no more needed.
1682 Bootstrap: let the user choose which autoconf to use.
1683 * bootstrap ($AUTOCONF): New variable, from the environment.

1745 Avoid syntax error if IF-TRUE part of AM_COND_IF expands empty.
1746 * m4/cond-if.m4 (AM_COND_IF): Ensure IF-TRUE part is never empty

1779 * tests/distcleancheck.test: Do not add useless `-e' option to
1780 a $MAKE call. Extend test by grepping stderr of make.

1810 Improve and extend test cond5.test.
1811 * tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
1812 the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
1813 at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
1814 and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
1815 priority or on heavily-loaded systems).
1816 Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
1818 Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
1819 Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than

1854 Tests: remove useless repetitions of `foreign' automake option.
1855 * tests/multlib.test (configure.in): Remove useless use of
1856 `foreign' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (the `--foreign' option is

1874 Fix bugs in test script silent5.test.
1875 * tests/silent5.test: Fixed a nasty bug (due to the use of grep
1876 instead of egrep) that could have led to false negatives.
1878 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1880 Add a test checking that distributed broken symlinks cause

1893 tests/yflags2.test: Prefer `make -e' over `make VAR=VAL', to
1894 please maintainer-check. Ensure generated C files contain a
1895 declaration, to please compilers.
1897 2010-06-21 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
1899 Fix bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t. $(AM_FLAGS) and
1900 $(FLAGS) precedence.
1901 * automake.in: Fix registration of languages "Lex", "Lex (C++)",
1902 "Yacc" and "Yacc (C++)", so that $(LFLAGS) has precedence over

1904 * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Updated accordingly.
1907 New tests, exposing bugs in Automake Yacc/Lex support w.r.t.
1908 $(AM_FLAGS) and $(FLAGS) precedence.

1932 might unmotivatedly hide useful information.
1933 * tests/suffix2.test: Move setting of `errexit' shell flag earlier
1934 in the script (just after inclusion of ./defs). Use a more
1935 idiomatic way to count text occurrences in Makefile.in with
1936 grep. Do not create useless dummy source files.

1973 * tests/forcemiss.test: ... this one ...
1974 * tests/forcemiss2.test: ... and this one.
1975 * tests/symlink2.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, make test
1976 stricter, and skip it if symlink creation is not supported.
1977 * tests/postproc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, related
1978 changes, and a couple of unrelated cosmetic changes.
1979 * tests/recurs.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1980 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Make grepping
1981 of Automake stderr slightly stricter.
1982 * tests/substtarg.test: Likewise.
1983 * tests/strip.test: Likewise, and move the call to `set -e'
1984 earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs'). Also, make sure
1985 that the script installed by `make install-script' is equal to
1987 * tests/substref.test: Use the `configure.in' stub created by
1988 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch. Move the call
1989 to `set -e' earlier (just after the inclusion of `./defs').

2003 * tests/pluseq5.test: Append to configure.in using cat with an
2004 here-doc, not using echo.
2005 * tests/pluseq10.test: Make sure that the captured output of
2006 `make' command is always displayed. Where possible, use $FGREP
2007 instead of grep (this change makes some checks slightly stricter).
2008 * tests/pluseq8.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
2010 * tests/pluseq.test: Likewise. Also, do not create useless dummy
2011 data files, and use better m4 quoting in generated configure.in.

2040 * tests/ansi3.test: Likewise, and rely on the `configure.in' stub
2041 created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2043 Enable `errexit' shell flag in various tests.

2068 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2070 Extend tests/README w.r.t. trailing `:' in test scripts.
2071 * tests/README (section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
2072 Explain why apparently redundant trailing `:' and `Exit 0' in
2073 test scripts can indeed be useful.
2075 2010-06-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2077 Improve determination of PATH separator in bootstrap script.
2078 * bootstrap: Determine what the PATH separator is the same way
2081 Minor improvements in bootstrap script.

2083 improvement to comments.
2084 ($me): New variable, containing program basename.
2085 Prepend it to all error messages.
2087 Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.
2088 * tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
2089 which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
2090 which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
2091 This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
2092 is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
2094 2010-06-09 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2096 Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
2097 * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
2098 `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
2099 * tests/depend2.test: Likewise. Also, call `set -e' just after
2100 the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
2101 * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
2102 $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
2103 * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
2104 Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
2105 These changes make some checks slightly stricter.
2106 * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
2107 * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
2108 rather than in the middle.

2122 * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
2123 AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
2124 since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
2125 * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
2126 actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
2127 message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.

2130 Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
2131 * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeeds unexpectedly.

2162 * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
2163 Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
2165 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2179 Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
2180 * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
2181 `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
2182 fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
2183 Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
2184 known extension EXT.
2186 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

2256 2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2258 Rewrite manual to be gender-neutral.
2259 * doc/automake.texi (GNU Build System)
2260 (Standard Directory Variables, General Operation, CVS)
2261 (Hard-Coded Install Paths, Dependencies As Side Effects):
2262 Rewrite text to not contain gender-specific pronouns when
2263 speaking about developers or users, either by avoiding pronouns
2264 or by addressing them as `you' instead.
2266 Report by Christina Gratorp.
2270 2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2272 Make tests on user extensibility of silent-rules mode stricter.
2273 * tests/silent6.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the
2274 output produced by `make'.
2275 * tests/silent7.test: Likewise.
2277 Tests on silent-mode for C/Libtool made stricter.
2278 * tests/silent.test: Made stricter w.r.t. the grepping of the

2282 * tests/silent9.test: Likewise.
2283 * tests/silent3.test: Likewise, and add a final `make distclean'
2284 command to keep it better in sync with tests/silent{4,9}.test.
2286 Improved test silent5.test.
2287 * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
2288 non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
2289 Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
2290 removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
2291 not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
2292 output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
2294 New tests for Automake silent-mode with Fortran.
2295 * tests/silentf77.test: New test.
2296 * tests/silentf90.test: Likewise.
2297 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.

2301 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2303 New test `silentyacc.test' (Automake silent-mode with Yacc).
2304 * tests/silentyacc.test: New test.
2305 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2307 New test `silentlex.test' (Automake silent-mode with Lex).
2308 * tests/silentlex.test: New test.
2309 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2311 Relax tests on silent-rules to cater to overly verbose makes.
2312 * tests/silent.test: When testing silent builds, don't fail if
2313 make's output simply contains the `mv' substring, but only if
2314 it contains the `mv ' substring (note the trailing space).

2323 Fix silent-rules output for disabled dependency tracking.
2324 * lib/am/depend2.am [!%FASTDEP%]: Rework silent-rules variable
2325 expansion code to also work in the case where %AMDEP% expands
2326 to FALSE at config.status time, using new substitution string
2328 * automake.in (verbose_nodep_flag): New function, appending
2329 `@am__nodep@' to the verbose-variable name.
2330 (handle_languages): If dependencies are not disabled, use it to
2331 set %VERBOSE-NODEP%.
2332 * m4/depend.m4: Substitute am__nodep as '_no', so the second
2333 verbose-variable will always expand to an empty string, if
2334 dependencies are enabled.
2335 * tests/silent5.test: Also test --disable-dependency-tracking;
2336 also test per-target flags for non-C language files.
2337 * tests/silent9.test: New test, like silent4.test but disable
2338 dependency tracking.
2339 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2340 * NEWS, THANKS: Update.
2341 Report by Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>.
2343 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2345 Extend test on `nostdinc' automake option.
2346 * tests/nostdinc.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag. Related and
2347 unrelated minor changes. Make the grepping of the generated
2348 Makefile.in slightly stricter. Generate and run configure, so that
2349 the generated Makefile can be grepped too.
2351 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2353 Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
2354 * lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
2355 than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
2356 double-quotes and backquotes.
2358 Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
2360 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2362 Fix Autoconf version required by Automake's configure.
2363 Automake configure script used to tell that automake required
2364 autoconf 2.60 or later, but then it checked for autoconf >= 2.62,
2365 and if that was not found, it gave an error saying that Automake
2366 required configure 2.61a-341 or later. This change should
2367 eliminate such inconsistencies.
2368 * configure.ac ($required_autoconf_version): New variable.
2371 2010-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2373 Fix unportable sed script in maintainer-check test.
2374 * Makefile.am (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Rewrite sed script to
2375 not contain semicolon after 'b' or brace commands, for NetBSD.
2377 Wildcards are not portable to NetBSD make.
2378 * doc/automake.texi (Wildcards): Document portability issue.
2379 * tests/extra10.test, tests/extra11.test, tests/extra12.test:
2382 2010-05-23 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2384 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2385 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2386 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2388 Avoid possible false negatives in dejagnu7.test.
2389 * tests/dejagnu7.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Also, avoid
2390 unportable use of fgrep option `-e'.
2392 Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2393 * tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
2394 instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
2395 since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
2396 if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
2398 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2401 * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Add
2402 missing closing parenthesis.
2404 Fix leftover call to removed function macros_dump.
2405 * automake.in (read_main_am_file): Call variables_dump, not
2406 macros_dump. Print actual error before list of variables.
2408 2010-04-25 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2410 Minor improvements in comments of test `silent3.test'.
2411 * tests/silent3.test: Tell to keep it in sync with `silent9.test'
2414 2010-04-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2416 testsuite: ensure verbose printing of captured output.
2417 * tests/acloca14.test, tests/acloca18.test, tests/aclocal.test,
2418 tests/fort2.test, tests/help.test, tests/missing3.test,
2419 tests/missing6.test: Print captured stdout or stderr before
2422 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2424 Make test badopt.test stricter (by enabling `set -e').
2425 * tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
2426 an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
2427 was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
2428 Also, bumped the copyright years.
2430 Make test for configure.in vs. configure.ac stricter.
2431 * tests/configure.test: Use a configure.in file that provokes
2432 an automake error, to ensure configure.ac is preferred.
2434 Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoids possible false negatives).
2435 * tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
2436 changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
2437 Also, bumped copyright years.
2439 2010-04-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2441 Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
2442 * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
2443 $configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
2445 (require_variables): Initialize it here.
2446 * tests/configure.test: New test.
2447 * tests/Makefile.am: Update.
2448 Report by Stefano Lattarini.
2450 2010-04-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2452 Avoid possible false negatives in confh5.test.
2453 * tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped
2454 copyright years. Due to this change, any unexpected failure
2455 in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
2456 a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
2457 cause the whole test to fail.
2459 2010-04-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2461 Fixed typo in POD documentation of Automake::Channels.
2462 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Fixed typo in POD documentation:

2478 * tests/canon-name.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag. Improve
2481 2010-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2483 Fix per-Makefile.am setting of -Werror.
2484 Before this patch, 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Werror' in one
2485 Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files
2486 treated afterwards by the same thread, causing inconsistent
2487 and unstable exit status values.
2488 * lib/Automake/Channels.pm (dup_channel_setup)
2489 (drop_channel_setup): Save and restore the setting of
2490 $warnings_are_errors.

2495 2010-04-11 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
2497 Bugfix in confh5.test w.r.t. Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2498 * tests/confh5.test: In the generated Makefile.am: do not use
2499 `test ! -e FILE' to check for the non-existence of a file, since
2500 that is not supported by Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
2502 Make test `aclocal3.test' stricter.
2503 * tests/aclocal3.test: Add call to `set -e'. Fail if $ACLOCAL
2504 succeds unexpectedly.
2506 Add tests checking that symlinks are resolved by `make dist'.
2507 * tests/distlinks.test: New test.
2508 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated accordingly.
2509 Suggested by observations from Ralf Wildenhues.

2520 Avoid an unportable use of `$status' shell variable.
2521 * Makefile.am (path-check): Don't use the `$status' shell variable
2522 in the target's rules, as it's special in Zsh (equivalent to `$?',
2525 Avoid another use of `chmod -R'.
2526 * Makefile.am (path-check): To be safe, do not use `chmod -R' on
2527 $(distdir) before removing it (as Solaris `chmod -R' touches
2528 symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
2531 2010-03-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2533 Remove uses of @acronym and @sc.
2534 * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros, Limitations on File Names):

2538 2010-03-13 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2540 GNU hello uses fdl.texi, not gpl.texi.
2541 * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Adjust example to upstream
2544 2010-03-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2546 Formatting cleanups in macro comments.

2633 Fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts.
2634 The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
