+ automake: fix regression due to de-ansification support removal
+ The last change `v1.11-947-g136b489' removed code that automake
+ was using to decide whether binary objects were built by the

+ code when this was not the case. Re-introduce such code in a
+ less-obfuscated form, and add a test to ensure we don't regress
+ again.
+ * automake.in ($must_handle_compiled_objects): New global
+ variable, telling whether the generated Makefile has to build
+ compiled objects.
+ (initialize_per_input): Reset it.

+ it to a true value when required.

+ tests: some minor fixlets w.r.t. TAP-based tests
+ The variable that is used by our test scripts to decide whether

+ were erroneously using the `use_tap' variable instead. Fix that.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Nullify `using_tap',

+ * tests/backcompat5.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to

+ we manually override the contents of configure.in, thus clobbering
+ the `parallel-tests' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
+ Fix a typo in comments since we are at it.

tests: list "forgotten" test script in TESTS
- New `cscope' target to build a cscope database for the source tree.
- * WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
-
- - The Automake support for automatic de-ANSI-fication will be removed in
- the next major Automake release (1.12).
-
+* Changes to Automake-generated testsuite harnesses:
+
+ - Test scripts that exit with status 99 to signal an "hard error" (e.g.,
+ and unexpected or internal error, or a failure to set up the test case
+ scenario) have their outcome reported as an 'ERROR' now. Previous
+ versions of automake reported such an outcome as a 'FAIL' (the only
+ difference with normal failures being that hard errors were counted
+ as failures even when the test originating them was listed in
+ XFAIL_TESTS).
+
+ - The testsuite summary displayed by the parallel-test harness has a
+ completely new format, that always list the numbers of passed, failed,
+ xfailed, xpassed, skipped and errored tests, even when these numbers
+ are zero (but using smart coloring when the color-tests option is in
+ effect).
+
+ - The default testsuite driver offered by the 'parallel-tests' option is
+ now implemented (partly at least) with the help of automake-provided
+ auxiliary scripts (e.g., `test-driver'), instead of relying entirely
+ on code in the generated Makefile.in.
+ This has two noteworthy implications. The first one is that projects
+ using the `parallel-tests' option should now either run automake with
+ the `--add-missing' option, or manually copy the `test-driver' script
+ into their tree. The second, and more important, implication is that
+ now, when the `parallel-tests' option is in use, TESTS_ENVIRONMENT can
+ not be used anymore to define a test runner, and the command specified
+ in LOG_COMPILER (and <ext>_LOG_COMPILER) must be a *real* executable
+ program or script. For example, this is still a valid usage (albeit
+ a little contorted):
+
+ TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \
+ if test -n '$(STRICT_TESTS)'; then \
+ maybe_errexit='-e'; \
+ else \
+ maybe_errexit=''; \
+ fi;
+ LOG_COMPILER = $(SHELL) $$maybe_errexit
+
+ while this is not anymore:
+
+ TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \
+ $(SHELL) `test -n '$(STRICT_TESTS_CHECKING)' && echo ' -e'`
+
+ neither is this:
+
+ TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = \
+ run_with_perl_or_shell () \
+ { \
+ if grep -q '^#!.*perl' $$1; then
+ $(PERL) $$1; \
+ else \
+ $(SHELL) $$1; \
+ fi; \
+ }
+ LOG_COMPILER = run_with_per_or_shell
+
+ - The package authors can now use customary testsuite drivers within
+ the framework provided by the 'parallel-tests' testsuite harness.
+ Consistently with the existing syntax, this can be done by defining
+ special makefile variables `LOG_DRIVER' and `<ext>_LOG_DRIVER'.
+
+ - A new developer-reserved variable `AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT' can be used
+ to redirect/define file descriptors used by the test scripts.
+
+ - The parallel-tests harness generates now, in addition the `.log' files
+ holding the output produced by the test scripts, a new set of `.trs'
+ files, holding "metadata" derived by the execution of the test scripts;
+ among such metadata are the outcomes of the test cases run by a script.
+
+ - Initial and still experimental support for the TAP test protocol is
+ now provided.
+
* Miscellaneous changes:
- The `dist' and `dist-all' targets now can run compressors in parallel.
