+
+ Extend, fix and improve tests on Lex and Yacc support.
+ * tests/lexcpp.test: New test script, on support for Lex + C++.
+ * tests/lexvpath.test: New test script, test build and rebuild
+ rules for lexers in VPATH setup.
+ * tests/yacc-basic.test: New test script, run simple "semantic"
+ checks on basic Yacc support (similarly to what lex3.test does
+ for Lex support).
+ * tests/lex.test: Don't create useless dummy source file joe.l.
+ Remove extra blank lines.
+ * tests/lex4.test: Add trailing `:' command. Do not create dummy
+ useless lex source file.
+ * tests/lex2.test: Likewise. Call automake with the `-a' option,
+ so that it doesn't fail for the absence of `ylwrap' script. Make
+ grepping of automake stderr stricter.
+ * tests/yacc7.test: Add trailing `:' command. Enable `errexit'
+ shell flag earlier (just after having sourced ./defs).
+ * tests/yacc4.test: Likewise. Also ...
+ (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
+ instead of writing one from scratch.
+ Other minor cosmetic changes.
+ * tests/yacc5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/yaccvpath.test: Likewise. Also ...
+ ($distdir): New variable.
+ Use it throughout.
+ * tests/lex5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. Check the distdir, rather than
+ grepping the distribution tarball. Extend the test on the
+ created binary, and be sure to avoid hangs. Add some comments.
+ * tests/yacc.test: Use stricter grepping. Add trailing `:'.
+ * tests/yacc6.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/yacc3.test: Likewise. Do not create the unused file
+ `Makefile.sed'. Remove useless rules from Makefile.am. Other
+ minor cosmetic changes.

+ grep to /dev/null. Move call to aclocal earlier. Reduce the
+ number of empty blank lines. Fix a typo in comments.
+ * tests/yacc8.test: Fixed bugs that reduced the completeness of
+ the tests. Added trailing `:' command.
+ (configure.in): Use pre-populated skeleton set up by ./defs,
+ instead of writing one from scratch.
+ * tests/yaccpp.test: Test also extensions `.y++', `.ypp', and
+ `.yxx', rather than only `.yy'.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2010-12-17 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

+ * tests/auxdir3.test: Add an explanatory comment and a trailing
+ `:' command.
+ * tests/auxdir4.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name.
+ Make grepping of automake stderr slightly stricter. Also, now

+
+2010-12-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Tests: extend checks on remake rules.
+ This adds proper semantical tests (i.e. run make to check the
+ rebuild rules are correctly triggered) in addition to tentative
+ grepping of the generated Makefile.in(s).

+ configure.in, prefer to use $me instead of hard-coding the test
+ name.
+ * tests/canon3.test: Prefer trailing `:' over trailing `Exit 0'.
+ * tests/canon4.test: Likewise. Make grepping of Makefile.in
+ stricter. Improve heading comment, and add reference to ...
+ * tests/canon6.test: ... this new test (sister test of the
+ previous one).

+ text to configure.in. Extend grepping of Automake stderr. Add
+ trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/canon5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/canon7.test: New file, stress test on canonicalization.
+ * tests/canon8.test: New test, for better coverage (check that
+ the `@' character is not transliterated in canonicalizations).
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Updated.
+
+2010-12-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Libobj tests: refer to automake bug tracker for limitations.
+ * tests/libobj15b.test (configure.in): In the comment explaining
+ why an apparently redundant AC_OUTPUT is indeed needed, refer
+ to the relevant entry in the Automake bug tracker rather than
+ describing the bug in detail with a FIXME-style comment.
+ * tests/libobj15c.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/libobj20b.test: Likewise.
+
+ Libobj tests: do not use `##' automake comments in-line.
+ * tests/libobj19.test (Makefile.am): Do not use inline `##'
+ comments in the definition of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
+ * tests/libobj20c.test: Likewise.

+2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Tests required tools: also try `-v' option for GNU compilers.
+ * tests/defs.in: In the loop on "$required" tools, for gcc
+ and g++, also run "gcc -v" (resp. "g++ -v"), to get more
+ information, and for consistency with gcj.
+
+2010-11-12 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+ Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

+ Slighty improve m4 quoting. Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/libobj10.test: Add calls to autoconf, ./configure and

+ * tests/colon5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/colon7.test: Likewise.

+ concurrent use of dejagnu tests, simple tests and `check-local'
+ target.
+ * tests/dejagnu2.test: Make test more reliable, by avoid weak
+ grepping of make output. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append
+ to configure.in. Quote literal dots in grep regexps. Prefer
+ `grep -c ...' over `grep ... | wc -l'. Make grepping of
+ automake stderr slightly stricter. Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/dejagnu3.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to
+ configure.in. Check stderr of expected-to-fail "make" call.
+ Remove extra blank lines from Makefile.am.

+ the `*.log' and `*.sum' files are created by runtest also when
+ "make check" fails.
+ * tests/dejagnu7.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to
+ configure.in. Better use of blank lines. Add a trailing `:'
+ command.
+ * tests/dejagnu6.test: Likewise, and give the dejagnu test a
