+
+ Improve, extend and tweak tests on Texinfo support.
+ * tests/instdir-texi.test: Add a call to `ls -l' after that to
+ `make', for debugging. When looking for required tools, do not
+ redirect the output of "$tool --help" to /dev/null, and do not
+ uselessly run it in a subshell.
+ * tests/txinfo.test: Rewritten to run autoconf, ./configure and
+ make. All checks moved into Makefile.am.
+ * tests/txinfo8.test: Likewise, and modernize the generated
+ configure.in.
+ * tests/txinfo2.test: Moved checks into Makefile.am, and other
+ minor improvements.
+ * tests/txinfo5.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
+ changes. Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/txinfo6.test: Likewise, and make grepping of generated
+ Makefile.in stricter.
+ * tests/txinfo7.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, and related
+ changes. Add trailing `:' command. Do not add unnecessary stuff
+ to Makefile.am.
+ * tests/txinfo9.test: Verify that more targets which are expected
+ to be generated only once really are. Make grepping less strict,
+ to avoid exposing too much internal details. More minor changes.
+ * tests/txinfo16.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
+ for appending to configure.in. Updated/fixed heading comments.
+ * tests/txinfo23.test: Likewise, and extended a little by making
+ it check that no info file is created in the $(srcdir).
+ * tests/txinfo24.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/txinfo25.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/txinfo18.test: Add trailing `:'. Prefer cat over echo
+ for appending to configure.in. Also, check that index files are
+ cleaned also by "make clean", not only by "make distclean".
+ * tests/txinfo22.test: Prefer `$me' over hard-coded test name,
+ and added trailing `:' command. This testcase also used to check
+ that automake ignores in-line comments when using variables, but
+ preserves them in the output; these checks (added in commit
+ "Release-1-7f-4-g9177ef8") do not really pertain to this test,
+ so they have been moved ...
+ * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: ... into this new test.
+ * tests/txinfo4.test: Escape literal dots in grep regexps. Add
+ trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/txinfo29.test: Likewise. Relax grepping of generated
+ Makefile.in w.r.t. whitespaces. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to
+ append to configure.in.
+ * tests/txinfo3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/vtexi.test: Improve grepping of Makefile.in (sometimes
+ make it stricter, sometimes laxer). Move `set -e' setting just
+ after the inclusion of ./defs. De-uglify a sed command. Other
+ minor cosmetic improvements.
+ * tests/vtexi2.test: Make grepping of Makefile.in stricter. Add
+ trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/vtexi3.test: New test on version.texi support.
+ * tests/vtexi4.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

+
+ tests: fix spurious failure in 'tests/yflags-conditional.test'
+ * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Filter out message "warnings are
+ treated as errors" from automake stderr, to avoid a false positive
+ when grepping for extraneous warning messages.
+
+2011-01-10 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ yacc: warn about conditional content in *YFLAGS variables
+ This change fixes automake bug#7804.
+ * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Warn if any of the relevant
+ *YFLAGS variables has conditional contents (not only a conditional
+ definition). Related refactoring.
+ * NEWS: Updated.
+ * tests/yflags-conditional.test: Updated and extended.
+ * tests/yflags-conditional-force.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
+
+2011-01-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ 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.
+
+2010-12-13 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ 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.
