* lib/tap-driver.pl (trap_perl_warnings_and_errors): Do not use
the three-args version of the `open' builtin, it is not well
supported by older perl versions (at least perl 5.6.2).
(start): Add a no-op statement to pacify a "possible typo ... used
only once" perl warning.
tap/perl: be more portable to older TAP::Parser versions
* lib/tap-driver.pl (start): Do not call the `ignore_exit' method
on our TAP parser: it is not supported in older TAP::Parser
versions (e.g., 3.10), and is not really required by our usage of
the parser object.
tests: fix spurious failures due to ignored signals
* tests/defs (is_blocked_signal): New function.
* tests/parallel-tests-interrupt.test: Do not try to use/trap
signals that are ignored by the parent shell: they will be
ignored by all the child processes too.
* tests/self-check-exit.test: Likewise.
* tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Likewise, and do few minor
improvements and extensions since we are at it.
* master:
* tests/amhello-binpkg.test: Add missing $EXEEXT usage.

automake: fix regression due to de-ansification support removal
The last change `v1.11-947-g136b489' removed code that automake
was using to decide whether binary objects were built by the
generated Makefile.in, so that it could avoid to emit unneeded
code when this was not the case. Re-introduce such code in a
less-obfuscated form, and add a test to ensure we don't regress
again.
* automake.in ($must_handle_compiled_objects): New global
variable, telling whether the generated Makefile has to build
compiled objects.
(initialize_per_input): Reset it.
(handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Set
it to a true value when required.
(handle_compile): Don't generate any code if the variable
`$must_handle_compiled_objects' is not set to a true value.
* tests/no-extra-makefile-code.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
docs: report few more automake parsing limitations
Partly motivated by automake bug#8360.
* doc/automake.texi (General Operation): Report few more automake
limitations w.r.t. parsing of unusual makefile constructs. Related
minor reorderings.
* tests/doc-parsing-buglets-colneq-subst.test: New test.
* tests/doc-parsing-buglets-tabs.test: Likewise.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
ansi: remove obsolete code/files for de-ANSI-fication support
* lib/ansi2knr.1, lib/ansi2knr.c: Deleted.
* lib/Makefile.am (dist_pkgvdata_DATA): Do not list them anymore.
* lib/am/ansi2knr.am: Delete.
* lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Do not list it anymore.
* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Remove entries for
`ANSI2KNR' and `U'.
* m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Don't care anymore
about possible definition of the `$U' variable.
* automake.in (@common_files): Drop `ansi2knr.1' and `ansi2knr.c'.
(struct): Remove scalar field `ansi'.
All callers adjusted.
(&lang_c_finish, %de_ansi_files): Remove, they're not required
anymore.
All callers adjusted.
($get_object_extension_was_run): Fix typo in comment.
(&get_object_extension): Drop code dealing with de-ansification;
this function basically a no-op now, but is required to properly
initialize `$get_object_extension_was_run' variable.
(&handle_languages, &handle_compile, &lang_c_rewrite): Drop code
dealing with de-ansification.
The variable that is used by our test scripts to decide whether
they are "plain" or TAP-based is `using_tap'; however, some
peripheral sanity checks and sanitization code in our testsuite
were erroneously using the `use_tap' variable instead. Fix that.
* tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Nullify `using_tap',
not `use_tap'.
* tests/defs-static.in: Check that `using_tap', not `use_tap',
is not exported.
* tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update.
tests: avoid re-running a test with the 'parallel-tests' option
* tests/backcompat5.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to
prevent the generation of a sibling test script that uses the
'parallel-tests' driver. That would be useless anyway, since
we manually override the contents of configure.in, thus clobbering
the `parallel-tests' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
Fix a typo in comments since we are at it.
ansi: reject attempts to use automatic de-ANSI-fication support
* tests/protos.m4 (AM_C_PROTOTYPES): Error out whenever called.
* lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list ): Error out
with a proper error message when the `ansi2knr' option is used.
Related updates to comments.
* tests/depacl2.test: Update.
* tests/ansi2knr-no-more.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS: Update.
docs: remove description of de-ANSI-fication support from manual
* doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Remove mention of
`ansi2knr.c' and `ansi2knr.1'.
(Obsolete Macros): Remove mention of `AM_C_PROTOTYPES'. Do not
index it nor variables `ANSI2KNR' and `U' anymore.
(List of Automake options): Remove mention of `ansi2knr' option,
and obsolete entries for concept and option indexes.
(Optional): Remove entry about `AM_C_PROTOTYPES'.
(@c LocalWords): Remove `ansi' and `knr'.
(@menu, @detailmenu): Remove entries about de-ANSI-fication
support.
tests: fix spurious failure for awk implementation of TAP driver
* tests/tap-realtime.test: The awk+shell implementation of the TAP
driver must "read ahead" of one line in order to catch the exit
status of the test script it runs. So, in the TAP-producer script
here, be sure to echo one "dummy" line after each TAP result line
in order not to cause false positives.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Also list ...
* tests/java-empty-classpath.test: ... this test. Since we are
at it, remove trailing whitespace from a couple of lines.
* lib/tap-driver.sh (setup_result_obj): Handle escaping of TAP
directives in a way tat is (mostly) compatible by what is done
by the TAP::Parser module.
With this change, the tests `tap-escape-directive.test' and
`tap-escape-directive-2.test' now also pass with the shell/awk
implementation of the TAP driver.
* tests/tap-escape-directive.test: Make grepping of testsuite
progress output slightly stricter.
* tests/tap-escape-directive-2.test: New test (failing with the
awk implementation of the TAP driver).
* tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
tap: improve syncing between awk+shell and perl implementations
* lib/tap-driver.pl (stringify_test_result): Renamed ...
(stringify_result_obj): ... to this. Break up a clause in the
long "if/elsif/.../else" construct to avoid unaesthetic line
breaks and to be more synced with the sibling function in
`tap-driver.sh'. Rename the `$result', `$PASS' and `$FAIL'
variables to respectively `$result_obj', `$COOKED_PASS' and
`$COOKED_FAIL', for clarity and better syncing.
(handle_tap_test): Renamed ...
(handle_tap_result): ... to this, and change the name of the
`$test' local variable to `$result_obj'.
(extract_comment): Reimplement using the simpler `index' and
`substr' builtins, rather than with more advanced uses of
regular expressions.
(%test_results, @test_results): Renamed respectively ...
(%test_results_seen, @test_results_list): ... to these, and
related adjustments throughout the `TEST_RESULTS' block.
(main, get_global_test_result): Refactor and do some cosmetic
changes to make these functions clearer and better synced with
sibling code in `tap-driver.sh'.
Other minor cosmetic and typo fixes.
* lib/tap-driver.sh (extract_tap_comment): Remove outdated
"FIXME" comments.
(get_global_test_result): Small reordering to make it better
synced with its sibling function in `tap-driver.pl'.
(stringify_result_obj): Consistently use `result_obj' as the
parameter name.
Other minor cosmetic and typo fixes.
tap/perl: don't redirect perl warnings/errors to log files
With this change, the test `tap-driver-stderr.test' also passes
with the perl implementation of the TAP driver.
* lib/tap-driver.pl (start): Save the original stderr into the
`OLDERR' file handle, and call ...
(trap_perl_warnings_and_errors): ... this new function, trapping
the `__WARN__' and `__DIE__' "pseudo-signals" to ensure that the
warning and error messages goes to that original stderr stream.
Since we are at it, be sure to prepend all possible "die" message
with the name of the script as given by the `$ME' variable.
tap/perl: add copyright notice, version string, and emacs stuff
* lib/tap-driver.pl: Add proper copyright notice and bug reporting
address. Remove obsolete heading comments. Add trailing comments
for emacs w.r.t. code-formatting rules and automatic updating of
the date-based script version saved into the `$VERSION' variable.
($VERSION): Define to the current UTC date.
* lib/tap-driver.sh: Handle the file descriptors redirections
more smartly, to avoid sending error messages from awk (about
e.g. syntax or I/O errors) to the log files instead that to the
console.
* tests/tap-driver-stderr.test: New test, verifying the improved
driver behaviour. Notice that this test still fails when using
the perl implementation of the TAP driver.
* tests/Makefile.am (tap_other_tests): Update.
* lib/tap-driver.sh: Remove obsolete "FIXME" comment about our
driver losing the exit status of the tested program; this issue
has been solved in precedent commit `v1.11-1052-gd630a0d'. Fix
an unrelated typo in comments since we are at it.
* tests/tap-signal.test (signal_caught): Fix a regression from
commit `v1.11-1052-gd630a0d' that was causing this test to fail
spuriously on Solaris (due to an already worked-around Solaris
/bin/sh bug, see commit `v1.11-981-g0ef3ef5').
testsuite: use the new awk+shell TAP driver in our own testsuite
* tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_DRIVER): Redefine to use the new
awk+shell tap driver, which should be complete enough for use in
a "controlled" production environment.
tap/awk: handle non-zero exit status from the test command
* lib/tap-driver.sh (get_test_exit_message): New function in the
awk script, used to extract the exit status of the test program,
or at least a good guess of it.
(write_test_results): Use it, reporting an ERROR result if it
detects that the test program exited with a non-zero status.
* tests/tap-signal.test: Account for the differences in the
error messages generated by the awk and perl TAP drivers. Fix
an unrelated typo in comments since we are at it.
tap/awk: prepare to fetch the exit status of the test command
* lib/tap-driver.sh: Rewrite some logic in the main parsing loop,
to make it possible to read the exit status of the test command
from the last line of the input stream.
* lib/tap-driver.sh: Rewrite the awk script so that the parsing
of the input stream is implemented as a hand-rolled loop in the
BEGIN block, using the `getline' builtin.
* lib/tap-driver.sh: Use `\t', not `\\t', to represent tabulation
character in regexps, even when inside double-quoted strings; that
seems to be more portable to Solaris 10 XPG4 awk.
* lib/tap-driver.sh (close_or_die): Remove, the use of the `close'
builtin in there was confusing /usr/bin/nawk from Solaris 10 into
a syntax error.
(write_test_results): Simply use `close' on the `*.trs' file, that
should be enough.
tap/awk: correctly extract message from SKIP plans
* lib/tap-driver.sh (/^1\.\.0+[ \t]*#/): Add a forgotten `?' to
the regex used to extract the skip message from a "1..0" TAP plan.
* tests/planskip.test: Check for the just-fixed bug.
* tests/tap-planskip-unplanned-corner.test: Don't be too strict
w.r.t. the formatting of the "skip whole test" message, to avoid
failing due to bugs irrelevant for this test (like the one just
fixed).
* lib/tap-driver.sh: Pass definition of colors to the BEGIN block
of the awk script, using ...
($init_colors): ... this new variable, which supersedes ...
($red, $grn, $lgn, $blu, $mgn, $std): ... these variables, which
have been consequently removed.
($color_tests): We don't have to pass this anymore to the awk
script, so do not convert it to a numeric boolean.
(decorate_result): Implement for real.
With this change, the test 'tap-color.test' now passes.
tap: real (but still incomplete) awk implementation of TAP driver
* lib/tap-driver.sh : Add an incomplete, but mostly working,
implementation of a TAP parser and driver in awk. It doesn't yet
support colorized output, fetching of exit status from test
programs, nor a way to escape TAP directives in TAP result lines,
but passes all the tests of TAP support in the automake testsuite,
apart from the following ones:
- tap-color.test
- tap-escape-directive.test
- tap-exit.test
- tap-missing-plan-and-bad-exit.test
- tap-passthrough-exit.test
- tap-planskip-badexit.test
- tap-planskip-unplanned-corner.test
- tap-signal.test
Tested on Debian GNU/Linux with GNU awk 3.1.7 and 3.0.2, "original
awk" 2010-05-23-1, and mawk 1.3.3-15 (with which also the test
`tap-realtime.test' fails, in addition to those listed above).
coverage: ambiguous use of TAP "TODO"/"SKIP" directives
* tests/tap-ambiguous-directive.test: New test.
* tests/tap-todo-skip-together.test: Reference it in heading
comments.
* tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
coverage: a TAP result numbered "0" is always out-of-order
* tests/tap-test-number-0.test: New, checks that a test result
numbered as 0 is to be considered out-of-order; this is
consistent with the behaviour of the `prove' utility.
* tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
coverage: some more tests on corner cases of TAP support
* tests/tap-no-spurious.test: Extend checks verifying that a line
matching, say, the regex "^ok[a-zA-Z0-9_]" is *not* considered a
TAP result.
* tests/tap-no-spurious-numbers.test: New test, checking that our
TAP driver doesn't spuriously recognize as TAP result numbers what
is not (even if it seems pretty close).
* tests/tap-negative-numbers.test: New test, checking that our
TAP driver doesn't spuriously recognize negative TAP result
numbers, but correctly interprets them as test descriptions
instead.
* tests/tap-plan-leading-zero.test, tap-numbers-leading-zero.test:
New tests, checking how our driver fares in recognizing numbers
with leading zeroes in TAP results or TAP plans.
* tests/tap-planskip-malformed.test: New test, checking that a
malformed TAP plan is not recognized as a valid plan.
* tests/tap-plan-whitespace.test: New test, checking that a TAP
plan line with trailing whitespace is recognized and handled
correctly.
* tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
testsuite: fix some redundant autotools calls in tests on TAP
* tests/tap-deps.test: Do not call autotools and configure; there
is no need to, since this script sources `tap-setup.sh'.
* tests/tap-empty-diagnostic.test: Likewise.
* tests/tap-escape-directive.test: Likewise.
* tests/tap-fancy2.test: Likewise.

Daniel Richard G [Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:19:14 +0000 (15:19 +0200)]
java: avoid compilation errors when CLASSPATH is empty
* lib/am/java.am (CLASSPATH_ENV): When redefining `$CLASSPATH',
do not append an empty component in case the previous value of
CLASSPATH is empty or unset.
* tests/java-empty-classpath.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
parallel-tests: no more spurious successes for FreeBSD make
Work around a bug of FreeBSD make bug that was causing the
automake-generated "check" target to complete with success
even if some tests failed; this happened only when FreeBSD
make was run in concurrent mode (as in, e.g., "make -j2
check"). The bug is not present in NetBSD make.
This change fixes automake bug#9245:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9245>
See also FreeBSD PR bin/159730:
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=159730>
* lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): Use a
more "safe" (and apparently redundant) idiom to exit with error,
so that the non-zero exit status is picked up also by FreeBSD
make when it's running in concurrent mode.
* NEWS: Update.
* tests/check-concurrency-bug9245.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
tap: improve granularity for tests on problematic TAP messages
* tests/tap-message-0.test: Break up into ...
* tests/tap-msg0-result.test, tests/tap-msg0-directive.test,
tests/tap-msg0-planskip.test, tests/tap-msg0-misc.test,
tests/tap-msg0-bailout.test: ... these new tests, and extend
a little.
* tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
* lib/tap-driver.pl (is_null_string): New function, can be used
to determine whether a given string variable is empty or undefined.
Useful to avoid pitfalls like:
if ($message) { print "$message\n"; }
which wouldn't print anything if $message is the literal "0".
(handle_tap_test, handle_tap_plan, handle_tap_bailout): Use it,
to avoid missing messages composed only by a literal "0" in TAP
result descriptions and in skip, todo and bailout explanations.
* tests/tap-message-0.test: Enhance.
* tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove it, it passes now.
tap: add a dummy TAP driver script implemented in shell + awk
The user can also now decide which implementation of the TAP driver
to use in the testsuite by defining the `$am_tap_implementation'
variable to either "perl" or "shell". Future enhancements will
allow the testsuite to automatically run the test scripts on TAP
support with both the TAP driver implementations, to improve
coverage.
* tests/defs (fetch_tap_driver): Honor the `$am_tap_implementation'
variable to decide which implementation of the TAP driver to fetch.
($am_tap_implementation): Default to "perl".
* tests/tap-common-setup.test: Do not fetch the TAP driver, the
code in tap-setup.sh does that already (and respecting runtime
overriding of `$am_tap_implementation').
* lib/tap-driver: Renamed ...
* lib/tap-driver.pl: ... to this, and ...
($ME): ... adjusted this.
* doc/automake.texi: Adjust to the renaming.
* tests/Makefile.am (TAP_LOG_DRIVER): Likewise.
* tests/tap-doc2.test: Likewise.
* lib/tap-driver.sh: New script, still mostly dummy.
* lib/Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Update, and since we are at
it, rewrite it to make it easier to add new entries in the future.
testsuite: refactor tests on TAP support in view of future changes
* tests/defs (fetch_tap_driver): New subroutine; it fetches the
automake-provided TAP driver from the `lib/' directory into the
current directory, and edits its shebang line so that it will be
run with the perl interpreter determined at configure time.
* tests/tap-setup.sh: Use it.
* tests/tap-common-setup.test: There's no need to AC_SUBST `PERL'
anymore, nor to use it in the Makefile to run the TAP driver.
Also, use the `fetch_tap_driver' function instead of copying the
`tap-driver' auxiliary script directly.

tap: improve diagnosing and reporting of plan mismatches
Problem exposed by a failure in the test 'tap-plan-errors.test'.
* lib/tap-driver (NO_PLAN, EARLY_PLAN, LATE_PLAN): New constants.
(Throughout the file): Use more complex semantics for `$plan_seen',
which now also remember whether the plan that has been seen is an
"early" or "late" plan; in turn, this makes ...
($tap_stopped): ... this variable redundant; remove it.
(handle_tap_plan): Adjust to avoid producing spurious or confusing
error messages about extra or mismatched "late" TAP plans.
* tests/tap-plan-corned.test: Adjust and extend.
* tests/tap-color.test: Likewise.
* lib/tap-driver ($bailed_out): New global boolean variable,
telling whether a "Bail out!" directive has been seen or not.
(handle_tap_bailout): This function does not anymore stop the
reading from TAP stream; instead, it sets `$bailed_out' to a
true value, so that only the subsequent parsing of the input
TAP stream is stopped.
(finish): Remove, no more needed, its contents inlined into ...
(main): ... this function, with related adjustments in the code
flow.
(get_test_exit_message): Do not "flush" the input TAP stream
to fetch the exit status of test script, it is not anymore
required. Add a sanity check.

flagged as errors.
* tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
tap: non-zero exit status after "Bail out!" should not be reported
This new behaviour is more consistent with that of the `prove'
utility. Also, experience with the use of TAP in the Automake's
own test suite has shown that reporting non-zero exit status from
a script after it has issued a "Bail out!" directive is mostly
redundant, more introducing noise rather than conveying useful
information.
* lib/tap-driver (finish): Inline the part of it that was getting
the script exit status ...
(main): ... in here.
* tests/tap-bailout-badexit.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Update.
tap: a "plan with SKIP" after test results is an error
This new behaviour is both more natural and more consistent with
that of the `prove' utility.
* lib/tap-driver (handle_tap_plan): Do not stop TAP parsing when
a "plan with SKIP" line (e.g., "1..0 # SKIP") is encountered, and
do not print a "SKIP" line if some TAP result has already been
seen.

little now that we have more explicit semantics.
coverage: possible infinite recursion in the test harness
Motivated by a regression in the 'test-protocols' branch.

* tests/defs (make_can_chain_suffix_rules): New function, tell
whether the make implementation in use can chain suffix rules

* tests/suffix3.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
are unportable to make implementations that are not smart enough
to chain suffix rules automatically.
* tests/suffix8.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
* tests/suffix10.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that
* tests/suffix11.test: Use it to avoid issuing calls to make that

* .gitignore: Anchor files that are intended to be ignored only
if found in the same directory of the `.gitignore' file, not also
in its subdirectories.
* doc/.gitignore, doc/amhello/.gitignore, lib/Automake/.gitignore,
lib/Automake/tests/.gitignore, tests/.gitignore: Likewise. Also,
where needed, add new entries that were once implied by the
non-anchored entries in the upper-level `.gitignore' files.
