+
+       * tests/yacc-d-cxx.test: Remove the workaround previously required
+       to avoid spurious failures due to automake bug#8485: that bug has

+
+       yacc/lex tests: avoid too much failures with FreeBSD make
+
+       In various Yacc/Lex tests, we used to run "make distcheck" commands
+       whose value was mostly dubious, and, even when it was there, was
+       very, very little.  The presence of these extra distchecks had two
+       disadvantages: it slowed down our already-too-slow testsuite even
+       more, and, much worse, caused a lot of extra failures with FreeBSD,
+       all due to automake bug#7884, which is already exposed by the test
+       case `yacc-dist-nobuild.test'.
+
+       We can improve this situation by simply removing "make distcheck"
+       calls from a few testcases, or making them conditional to the use
+       of GNU make.
+
+       * tests/lex-clean-cxx.test: Do not call "make distcheck".
+       * tests/lex-clean.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/yacc-clean-cxx.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/yacc-clean.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/yflags-force-override.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/yacc-nodist.test: Only run "make distcheck" if make
+       is GNU make.

+
+       lex tests: fix spurious link errors on Solaris
+       On Solaris 10, linking of lex-generated programs was failing in a
+       couple of lex tests with errors like this:
+         g++ -g -O2 -o joe joe.o -ll

+         yywrap()             joe.o
+         ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to joe

+       This change fixes it, also fixing at once potential problems for

+       when cross-compiling from GNU/Linux to MinGW).

+       lex: "make clean" removes .c files from non-distributed .l
+       Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
+       files derived from non-distributed Lex sources, it still caused
+       them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
+       simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
+       This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
+       those generated .c files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES by
+       hand.
+       This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' files
+       generated by non-distributed Lex sources cleaned by "make clean".
+       A similar problem for Yacc support had been fixed with the commit
+       v1.11-263-ged2c8bc.
+       * tests/automake.in (lang_lex_target_hook): Make C source files
+       derived from non-distributed Lex files cleaned by "make clean",
+       not only by "make maintainer-clean".
+       * tests/lex-clean.test: New test.
+       * tests/lex-clean-cxx.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/lex-nodist.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/lex-pr204.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/pr204.test: For consistency, renamed ...
+       * tests/yacc-pr204.test: ... to this, and updated to keep it
+       more in sync with 'lex-pr204.test'.
+       * tests/yacc-nodist.test: Updated to keep it more in sync with
+       'lex-nodist.test'.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+       * NEWS: Update.

+
+       lex tests: make test on Lex dependency tracking more "semantic"

+       * tests/lex-depend.test, tests/lex-depend-cxx.test: ... these
+       new tests.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2011-05-13  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       lex tests: remove erroneous check about ylwrap distribution
+       * tests/lex5.test: Do not check that the ylwrap script is *not*
+       distributed when there is only one lexer, as ylwrap is in fact
+       expected to distributed unconditionally (at least starting from
+       commit `Release-1-9-323-gc5881cc' of 19-08-2006).  Note that this
+       bogus check wasn't triggering any failure because it was done at
+       the wrong time (i.e. from the VPATH build directory), so that it
+       could never fail anyway.
+       Instead, check that ylwrap is distributed even when there is only
+       one lexer.
+       Since we are at it, add a couple of `ls -l' calls, to get better
+       debugging info.

+
+       yacc tests: "make clean" removes C++ files from non-distributed .y
+       * tests/yacc-clean-cxx.test: New test, sister of `yacc-clean.test'.
+       * tests/yacc-clean.test: Update heading comment to reference the
+       new sister test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2011-05-06  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       tests: add a workaround for automake bug#8485
+       * tests/yacc-d-cxx.test (Makefile.am): Add temporary workaround
+       for automake bug#8485.  The bug is still exposed by the testcase
+       'yacc-dist-nobuild-subdir.test'.
+
+2011-05-04  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       tests: add a couple of inter-tests reference

+       implementation.
+       * tests/silent-lex.test: Likewise.

        $distdir in this test.

+       tests: minor improvements to a couple of yacc tests
+       * tests/yacc-auxdir.test: Avoid running autoconf, it's not
+       needed.
+       * tests/yacc-line.test: Also check that the yacc-generated C
+       and header files do not contain "#line" directives referencing
+       `y.tab.c' or `y.tab.h'.  Add a couple of explicative comments.
+
+2011-04-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       tests: split yacc6.test, for better separation and coverage
+       * tests/yacc6.test: Test removed, its content extended and split
+       into ...
+       * tests/yacc-auxdir.test, tests/yacc-depend.test,
+       tests/yacc-line.test: ... these new tests.
+       * tests/yacc-depend2.test: New test, exposes the failure that

+2011-04-11  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       tests: do not uselessly require GNU make or gcc in a few tests
+       * tests/lex3.test: Remove gcc from requirements, as any working C
+       compiler should be ok.  Consequently, do not clobber user CFLAGS.
+       Also, remove GNUmake from requirements; it was added (see commit
+       `Release-1-8-103-g0d2f592') because this test fails with FreeBSD
+       make due to VPATH issues -- but so do many other yacc-related and
+       lex-related tests currently, and requiring GNU make in all of
+       them would unacceptably reduce coverage.
+       * tests/lexvpath.test: Remove gcc from requirements, as any
+       working C compiler should be ok.
+       * tests/yacc4.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/yacc8.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/lex5.test: Likewise.  Also, do not require anymore GNU
+       make; to compensate, explicitly call "$MAKE Makefile" to update
+       the out-of-date Makefile if $MAKE is not GNU make.

+2011-04-12  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       tests: fix spurious failure in test 'yacc-d-cxx.test'
+       * tests/yacc-d-cxx.test: Create ylwrap script before calling
+       automake for the first time, so that the script gets correctly
+       distributed.  Add checks verifying it indeed is.
+

+
+       tests cosmetics: remove redundant definitions of variable $tab
+       * tests/yacc-d-basic.test ($tab): Remove definition: it's already

+       yacc: add some tests on bison support (still xfailing)
+       Related to automake bug#7648 and PR automake/491.

+
+2011-04-10  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       coverage: test mixed C/C++ yacc-generated parsers in the same dir
+       * tests/yacc-mix-c-cxx.test: New test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2011-04-10  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       cosmetics: fix typos and wording in some yacc tests
+       * tests/yacc-cxx.test (foo.cc): Clarify comment about the content
+       of this file being valid C++ but invalid C.
+       (parse1.yy): Likewise.  Also, remove redundant parentheses in a
+       `return' statement.
+       * tests/yacc-d-cxx.test (write_parse): Clarify comment about the
+       content of the generated files being valid C++ but invalid C.
+       (write_main): Likewise.
+       * tests/yacc-basic.test: Remove redundant parentheses in a
+       `return' statement.
+       * tests/yacc-d-vpath.test: Adjust spacing around curly brackets.

+2011-04-10  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       yacc: update NEWS and docs about yacc-generated headers extensions
+       * doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document explicitly that
+       extensions of yacc-generated headers are modelled after the
+       extension of the corresponding sources.
+       * NEWS: Update.
+
+2011-01-28   Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       yacc: extension of headers modelled after extension of sources
+       With this change, if '-d' is in *YFLAGS, a yacc input file named
+       foo.y++ will cause a foo.h++ header to be generated, instead of a
+       foo.h header.  Similarly for foo.ypp, foo.yxx and foo.yy.
+       This way, the name of the files generated by an automake-created
+       `ylwrap' invocation should be consistent with those generated by
+       a `bison -o' call.
+       Related to automake bug#7648 and PR automake/491.
+       * lib/am/yacc.am (am__yacc_c2h): New internal variable.
+       (?GENERIC?%EXT%%DERIVED-EXT%, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Get the name of
+       the header dynamically at make runtime, so that its extension is
+       modelled after the extension of the source.
+       * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Adjust the calculation of
+       `$header' accordingly.
+       * tests/yacc-cxx.test: New test.
+       * tests/yacc-d-cxx.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/yacc-weirdnames.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/yacc-basic.test: Update comments.
+       * tests/yacc-d-basic.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/yaccpp.test: Updated and extended.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2011-01-29  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       tests: don't define YACC and LEX in the Makefiles
+       We don't want YACC and LEX defined as make variables, otherwise
+       the values determined at configure time will override those from
+       the environment, even in the make-spawned testcases.  For example,
+       before this change, with the following usage:
+         $ ./configure YACC=yacc
+         $ export YACC='bison -y'
+         $ make check
+       the testsuite would have ended up, very counterintuitively, with
+       YACC defined to 'yacc' in the testcases' environment.
+       * configure.ac: Call `AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE' on YACC and LEX.
+
+2011-01-29  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       tests: fix spurious failures in lflags*.test
+       * tests/lflags.test: Remove 'LEX' from the environment, so
+       that it won't be erroneously picked up by `make -e'.
+       * tests/lflags2.test: Likewise.
+
+2011-01-29   Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       coverage: more on 'yacc -d' and recovery from deleted headers
+       * tests/yacc-deleted-headers.test: New test.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2011-01-29   Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

+
+       tests init: better messages for 'yacc' and 'lex' requirements
+       * tests/defs.in: Give better diagnostic messages when a test must
+       be skipped to the unavailability of yacc or lex program.  Also,
+       improve syncing between code for requiring yacc and lex.

+
+       configure: look for a lex program to be used by the testsuite
+       This will allow the testcases requiring a 'lex' program to run also
+       with vendor/legacy lex implementations, not only with 'flex'.
+       * configure.ac: Look for a lex program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS.
+       * tests/defs.in: New required entry 'lex'.
+       ($LEX): Let the user override the lex program to be used by the
+       testsuite.
+       * tests/cond35.test ($required): Require 'lex', not 'flex'.

+
+       configure: look for a yacc program to be used by the testsuite
+       Instead of forcing the user to manually export 'YACC' in the
+       testsuite to use a non-bison yacc, we now look for a yacc program
+       at configure time, and use that as the default in the testsuite.
+       * configure.ac: Look for a yacc program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS.
+       * tests/defs.in: Updated to use the value of $YACC precomputed by

+
+2011-01-22   Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+       tests: more coverage on yacc/lex silent-rules, plus minor cleanups
+       * tests/silent-yacc-gcc.test: Add sanity checks verifying that the
+       generated Makefile.in files really contains the non-generic rules
+       we expect.  Do not redundantly manually remove files we know to be
+       already removed "make maintainer-clean".
+       (Makefile.am): Ensure we cover also non-generic yacc rules, by

+       (sub/Makefile.am): Likewise.
+       * tests/silent-yacc-generic.test: Likewise.

+       * tests/silent-lex-generic.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Likewise, but with both LFLAGS and
+       YFLAGS.  Also ...
+       (do_and_check_verbose_build): Remove redundant blank line.
+       * tests/silent-many-generic.test: Likewise.

+       * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
+
+2011-01-22   Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+

+       * tests/yacc-basic.test: Also try to build a parser having `-v'
+       as target-specific flags.  Add a couple of `ls -l' commands, for
+       debugging.  Update and extend comments.  Escape literal dots in

+       really there.
+       * tests/yflags-force-override.test: New test, checking that
+       automake can cope with definition of the YFLAGS variable in
+       Makefile.am (even if that is an extremely bad practice, as that

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

+       "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".
+       * tests/yacc-clean.test: New test.
