12 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.

bail out, the Makefile.in won't be created, and thus its content
will not matter.  OK, this is not completely true when threaded
automake is in use, but then, such a situation was also possible
before this patch, so no regression here, which is enough for us.

This change is the first of a series of steps aimed at fixing
the regression introduced in threaded automake usage by commit
`v1.11-1219-g326ecba'.

DIST_COMMON unconditionally.
* tests/missing-auxfile-stops-makefiles-creation.test: New test.

Stefano Lattarini [Sun, 2 Oct 2011 08:38:48 +0000 (10:38 +0200)]
dist: simplify automake code accordingly to the previous changes

After the previous change `v1.11-1219-g326ecba', every Makefile.am
requiring a file in the "config auxdir" will cause it to be listed
in the DIST_COMMON variable of the corresponding generated
Makefile.in, not only of the top-level Makefile.in.  Thus we don't
need to worry anymore about trying to distribute files in the
config auxdir from the top-level Makefile or the Makefile in
config auxdir (if any).  This allows us to carry out some useful
simplifications in the automake script.

This will however cause some changes in the generated Makefile;
for example, if the `PROGRAMS' primary is used only in a subdir
Makefile.am, the `depcomp' script will be distributed only by
`subdir/Makefile', not by the top-level Makefile.  This change
can be seen as an internal detail though, and definitely warranted
by the nice simplifications the current commit provides.

* automake.in ($automake_will_process_aux_dir): Variable removed.
(scan_autoconf_files): Adjust and simplify.
(handle_makefiles_threaded): Likewise.
(get_number_of_threads): Likewise.
(require_file_internal): Likewise.
(maybe_push_required_file): Its return value is not used anymore,
so return nothing.  Add special handling for distributed files from
`$config_libobj_dir'.  Also, catch "this can't happen" situations,
and abort accordingly.  Fix function description to better fit its
new role.
* tests/libobj19.test: Extend to also check situations where the
Makefile.am using $(LIBOBJS) is not the top-level one.
* tests/distcom6.test: Delete, merged into ...
* tests/distcom2.test: ... this test, which has been update to

12 years agodist: auxiliary files can be distributed from subdir Makefiles
Stefano Lattarini [Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:12:43 +0000 (12:12 +0200)]
dist: auxiliary files can be distributed from subdir Makefiles

With this change, we make it possible for a subdir Makefile.am
to distribute files in the config auxdir; while this means that
some files might be copied multiple times, it simplify some logic
in the automake script, and fix at least one important bug.  In
fact, before this change, the auxiliary script `test-driver' was
not being distributed as expected when TESTS was defined only in
a subdir Makefile (which is a pretty common setup indeed).  Now
this does not happen anymore: so the present change fixes automake
bug#9546.

Another welcome collateral effect is that `dist-auxfile-2.test'
now passes.

OTOH, the present changes *breaks threaded automake*.  The reason
is that automake needs to serialize file installations spawned
by `--add-missing' (this isn't for cosmetic reasons, but is
really needed to avoid possible race conditions and botched output
files).  Currently the code that installs required files is
intertwined with the code that declares the DIST_COMMON variables;
so, upon de-serialization, the definition of DIST_COMMON might get
emitted in the wrong Makefile.in.

Some follow-up refactoring in automake will soon take care of
remedying this situation.  For the moment, we just declare some
"parallel-am" tests as xfailing.

* automake.in (maybe_push_required_file): Add ad-hoc handling for
the case where the directory part of the required file is different
from the subdir where the current Makefile.am resides, but is equal
to the "config-aux directory" ($config_auxdir).  This is needed to
allow a construct in a non-top-level Makefile.am to require a file
in the config-aux directory.
* tests/test-driver-is-distributed.test: Extend and adjust.  This
test now passes.
* tests/java-compile-run-nested.test: Call automake with the `-a'
option to ensure that the `test-driver' auxiliary script gets
correctly installed.  This test now passes.
* tests/distcom-subdir.test: New test.
* tests/dist-readonly.test: Likewise.
* tests/dist-repeated.test: Likewise.
* tests/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.test: Likewise.
* tests/distcom7.test: Removed, it's obsolete now.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
