+
+ yacc: support variable expansions in *YFLAGS definition.
+ This change fixes automake bug#7800.
+ * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use 'value_as_list_recursive'
+ instead of 'variable_value' to get the value of *YFLAGS variables.
+ Related changes.
+ ($DASH_D_PATTERN): Removed.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove yflags-var-expand.test.
+ * tests/yacc-clean.test: Remove workaround for now-fixed bug.
+ * NEWS: Update.
+
+ 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ yacc: more tests on *YFLAGS support
+ * tests/yflags-var-expand.test: New test, still xfailing. It
+ exposes automake bug#7800 -- "automake fails to honor `-d' in
+ AM_YFLAGS when variable expansions are involved".
+ * tests/yflags-d-false-positive.test: New test, checking that
+ automake do not spuriously see `-d' in *YFLAGS when that isn't
+ 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
+ variable is user-reserved).
+ * tests/yflags-cmdline-override.test: New test, checking that
+ automake can cope with user-redefinition of YFLAGS at configure
+ time and/or at make time.
+ * tests/yflags-conditional.test: New test, checks that automake
+ warns on conditionally-defined *YFLAGS variables.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
+
+ 2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ yacc: extend and improve tests
+ * tests/yacc-basic.test: Also check that the intermediate C file
+ is mentioned in the generated Makefile.in, and that it is created
+ by the first make invocation.
+ * tests/yacc3.test: Test removed, superseded by ...
+ * tests/yacc-d-basic.test: ... this new test.
+ * tests/yacc2.test: Add reference to that new test in the heading
+ comments.
+ * tests/yacc-d-vpath.test: New test.
+ * tests/yaccvpath.test: Updated heading comments. Do not require
+ gcc anymore, as any working C compiler should be enough. Remove
+ redundant comments.
+ * tests/yacc-nodist.test: New test.
+ * tests/yacc-dist-nobuild.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+ 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.
+ * tests/yacc2.test: Make grepping of generated `Makefile.in' and
+ of automake error messages stricter. Do not redirect output of
+ 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.
