+
+ depmod tests: fix bug in depmodes list extraction
+ * tests/depmod-tests.sh (get_depmodes): Use `echo $all_depmodes'
+ instead of `... | tr "$nl" "$sp"' to strip extra whitespaces and
+ newlines from `$all_depmodes'. The latter idiom with `tr' is
+ wrong since it gets run before `./defs' is sourced, and thus `$nl'
+ and `$sp' are undefined.
+ Bug revealad by FreeBSD tr(1) implementation, which doesn't accept
+ empty strings as arguments.

+
+ tests: add excerpts from few original bug reports, for clarity.
+ * tests/comment6.test: Add excerpts and/or details from the

+
+ tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
+ Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
+ as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
+ to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
+ having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
+ integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
+ * tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
+ still dummy.
+ (flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
+ (lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
+ implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
+ in the future.

+
+ tests: 'silent-many-gcc.test' improved and made more robust
+ * tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Also force "fast" gcc depmode
+ for C++ compilations. Add sanity checks verifying that the
+ cache variables we force are really used by configure. Fix
+ typo in comments.
+
+2011-05-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: drop useless requirements of 'g++'
+ * tests/lflags2.test ($required): Remove 'g++', as any working
+ C++ compiler should be enough, and ./configure will cause the
+ test to skip if no working C++ compiler is found.
+ * tests/yflags2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/subobj9.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/silentcxx.test: Likewise. Also, do not force depmodes
+ that could cause non-GNU C++ compilers to fail.
+ * tests/silentcxx-gcc.test: New test, like `silentcxx.test',
+ but forcing "fast" gcc depmode (and thus requiring the GNU C++
+ compiler).
+ * tests/specflg10.test: Add proper "fixme" comment telling that
+ we should make this test work with a generic C++ compiler.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests defs: one more environment sanitization (corner case)
+ * tests/defs (am__using_gmake): Initialize. The `using_gmake'
+ subroutine was using this variable for caching, but wasn't
+ initializing it, which could cause problems in the (admittedly
+ very unlikely) case in which it was pre-existent in the
+ environment.
+
+2011-05-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: add forgotten test scripts to $(TESTS)
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts man[678].test,

+ with the previous target.
+ (clean-local): Depend on it.
+ * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Include `CheckListOfTests.am'.
+ (maintainer-check): Added dependency from the new target

+ test defs: increase coverage w.r.t. GNU make
+ * tests/defs (GNUmake): Instead of just skipping the tests
+ requiring GNU make if $MAKE is not GNU make, try to look for

+ tests: fix spurious failure in 'color2.test'
+ * tests/color2.test: If $MAKE contains command-line arguments (as
+ in e.g., "make -j2"), expect's directive "spawn $env(MAKE)" fails
+ spuriously, because it tries to run "$MAKE" as a single command.
+ Fix this with proper uses of the TCL `eval' builtin.
