13 years agotests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function
Stefano Lattarini [Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:18:34 +0000 (23:18 +0200)]
tests: fix spurious failures due to missing 'yywrap()' function

The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find
the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function
which is required to link most lex-generated programs).  On the
contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl')
fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply
proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to
possibly fail later, at make time.

This behaviour is intended; the Autoconf manual reads:
 ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is
   both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it
   produces is portable.  In order to ensure portability, however,
   you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use
   it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply
   include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.''

This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of
the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library
providing `yywrap' (this happens for example on Fedora-based
systems).   The proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back
implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers.

See also partially-overlapping commit `v1.11-871-geb147a1' (from
the 'testsuite-work' branch), which was motivated by similar
spurious failures experienced when cross-compiling.

Stefano Lattarini [Mon, 5 Sep 2011 15:37:44 +0000 (17:37 +0200)]
aclocal: more granularity in acdir overriding

Before this change, using the `--acdir' option caused aclocal to
redefine both the directory of automake-provided m4 macros and the
directory of third-party system-wide m4 macros.  With this change,
we deprecate the `--acdir' aclocal option, and introduce two new
options `--automake-acdir' and `--system-acdir', to allow for more
granularity.

* aclocal.in (@automake_includes, @system_includes,
@user_includes): Fix and extend comments.
(usage): Update.
(handle_acdir_option): New function.
(parse_arguments): Recognize new options `--system-acdir' and
`automake-acdir', and handle `--acdir' using the new function
above.  Simplify logic by assuming that the directory of
third-party system-wide m4 files always exists.
* tests/aclocal.in: Update to use the new options, instead of
the deprecated. `--acdir'.
* m4/dirlist: Move ...
* m4/acdir/dirlist: ... here.
* m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update.
(m4datadir): Rename ...
(automake_acdir): ... to this.  Accordingly, ...
(dist_m4data_DATA): ... rename this ...
(dist_automake_ac_DATA): ... to this.
(system_acdir): New, directory.
(dist_system_ac_DATA): New, defined to an empty value; this will
ensure that the $(system_acdir) directory will be created by
"make install".
* tests/aclocal.test: Remove check about the `--print-ac-dir'
option of aclocal, it has been moved into ...
* tests/aclocal-print-acdir.test: ... this new test, and quite
extended.
* tests/aclocal-acdir.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new tests.
* NEWS, bootstrap: Update.
