tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
* tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
option.
* 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
original bug report that prompted this tests to be added and/or
extended.
* tests/dejagnu4.test: Likewise.
* tests/installdir.test: Likewise.
With some edits to `tests/defs' and `ChangeLog', to reflect the
fact that in master we already had a `yacc' requirement, and no
more had an explicitly-recognized `bison' requirement.
tests defs: allow requirements for compilers (mostly dummy)
Most of the new requirements that are now accepted in `$required'
as consequence of this patch are still dummy. They are planned
to be implemented only in master (or in some derived branch), but
having them here (even just as no-op) will allow for an easier
integration/backporting of potential new testcases.
* tests/defs.in (cc, c++, fortran, fortran77): New requirements,
still dummy.
(flex): New requirement, picking LEX for configure.
(lex): New requirement, alias for `flex'. A more appropriate
implementation, looking for a generic `lex' program, will follow
in the future.
(yacc): New requirement, alias for `bison'. A more appropriate
implementation, looking for a generic `yacc' program, will follow
in the future.
tests: 'silent-many-gcc.test' improved and made more robust
* tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Also force "fast" gcc depmode
for C++ compilations. Add sanity checks verifying that the
cache variables we force are really used by configure. Fix
typo in comments.
* tests/lflags2.test ($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.
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.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Added test scripts man[678].test,
which have been present on the filesystem and in the repository,
but which had erroneously been left out from $(TESTS).
* CheckListOfTests.am: New file.
(maintainer-check-list-of-tests): New target,
check for consistency between list of tests defined in the
including Makefile and list of tests on the filesystem.
(clean-maintcheck-testslist-tmp): New rule, to clean up the
temporary files that might be left around by the rules associated
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
`maintainer-check-list-of-tests'.
* tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-test): New target,
calling recursively into `tests/' and `lib/Automake/tests/',
using ...
(TEST_SUBDIRS): ... this new variable.
* tests/defs (GNUmake): Instead of just skipping the tests
requiring GNU make if $MAKE is not GNU make, try to look for
it and, if found, redefine $MAKE accordingly. This will help
to transparently increase coverage on non-GNU systems which
have GNU make available in PATH.
* tests/acloca22.test: Improve and extend the heading comments.
Add reference to related tests 'remake-deleted-m4-file.test' and
'remake-renamed-m4-macro-and-file.test'. Since we are at it,
add trailing `:' command, and few blank lines for readability.
* tests/remake-renamed-m4-macro-and-file.test: In the heading
comments, add reference to the related test 'acloca22.test'.
tests: few more checks on automatic remake support
* tests/remake-all-1.test: New test, check that the "all" target
triggers rebuilt of outdated Makefiles.
* tests/remake-all-2.test: Likewise, but for when the makefiles
are not named `Makefile'.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
tests: check some remake features with non-GNU make too
* tests/acloca14.test ($required): Drop "GNUmake". This test
works as-is with non-GNU make implementations.
* tests/remake1a.test: Likewise.
* tests/aclocal4.test ($required): Drop "GNUmake".
Modify the test to have it work also with non-GNU make.
* tests/remake5.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake8a.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake8b.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake9a.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake9b.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake9c.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake9d.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake10a.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake10b.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake10c.test: Likewise.
* tests/remake12.test: ($required): Drop "GNUmake".
Adapt the test to make it work also with non-GNU make (if
it supports an "include" directive).
* 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.
tests: extend tests on dependency tracking with VPATH
* tests/depmod-tests.sh: New script, fulfilling a threefold role:
1. it is called to generate a Makefile.am snippet, containing the
definition of proper lists of tests;
2. it is called to set up a directory containing some common data
files and autotools-generated files used by the aforementioned
tests (this is done for speed reasons only); and
3. it is called to properly run those tests, one at a time.
* tests/depcomp9.test: Delete, it's obsolete now.
* tests/depcomp10.test: Likewise.
* tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/depmod-tests.am): Include this
snippet, which defines ...
(depmode_tests): ... this new macro, containing the list of the
newly generated `*.depmod' tests.
(TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Add `.depmod'.
(DEPMOD_LOG_COMPILER): Define. It calls `depmod-tests.sh', so that
the "depmode tests" will be executed by passing that driver script
a proper parameter.
($(depmod_tests)): New dependency declaration (dummy, but required
in order to have make actually produce expected log files from the
`.depmod.log' suffix rule).
(TESTS): Add $(depmod_tests).
(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute depmod-tests.sh.
Other minor cosmetic changes and reorderings.
* bootstrap: Generate depmod-tests.am.
* tests/.gitignore: Updated.
tests: avoid extra test generation (for `instspc' tests)
We don't really need to generate tons and tons of wrapper test
scripts (presently, ~ 90) just to run what is basically a single
test (specifically, `instspc-tests.sh') with different parameters.
In fact, the possibility of running a single driver script with
multiple files/configurations/parameters is one of the major
selling points of the 'parallel-tests' testsuite driver of
automake. So why not use ourselves more extensively the best
features we provide?
* tests/instspc-tests.sh: Update heading comments. Expect
to be executed, not sourced. Update handling of command-line
arguments. Adjust to reflect the renaming of "instspc tests"
from `instspc-*.test' to `*.instspc'.
* tests/instspc-data.test: Update heading comments. Execute
driver script `instspc-tests.sh', instead of sourcing it.
Give more informative messages in case of internal errors.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Define explicitly (to
`.test' and `.instspc').
(TESTS): Add `$(instspc_tests)'.
(generated_tests): Remove `$(instspc_tests)'.
(INSTSPC_LOG_COMPILER): Define. Calls `instspc-tests.sh', so
that the "instspc tests" will be now executed by passing that
driver script a proper parameter.
($(instspc_tests)): Remove, we don't need anymore to generate
this tests.
($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Remove, substituted by ...
($(instspc_tests:.instspc=.log)): ... this.
($(instspc_tests)): New dependency declaration (dummy, but
required in order to have make actually produce expected log
files from the `.instspc.log' suffix rule).
(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, generated_tests): Don't extend with
$(instspc_tests) anymore.
Update comments.
build: improve the definition of the list of testcases
* tests/Makefile.am (handwritten_tests): New variable.
(generated_tests): Likewise.
(TESTS): Redefine as the union of the above.
(EXTRA_DIST): Extend using $(handwritten_tests) and
$(generated_tests) rather than $(TESTS).
* tests/gen-parallel-tests: Update accordingly, and
make more robust.
* tests/defs: Use shorter messages when giving reasons for test
skipping; it turns out these shorter messages are also clearer.
If more info might be useful, send them to the log file only.
tests: fix self check spurious failure with older bash versions
* tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Add trailing `:' to the test code
passed to $SHELL, otherwise older versions of bash (at least 2.05
and 3.2.39) fail to correctly remove the temporary directory in
the exit trap.
tests: add sanity check to 'self-check-cleanup.test'
* tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Check that the "hacked" file
`defs-static' used by the test differs from the "vanilla" one
in builddir. This also offers a little more debugging output.
testsuite: display reasons for skips to the console
* tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Open file descriptor
`9' to the original stderr; define `stderr_fileno_' to `9', and
export it.
* tests/self-check-report.test: Prevent new spurious failures by
removing from the environment any definition of `stderr_fileno_'.
* tests/defs: Move the checks verifying that the variables `me',
`parallel_tests' and `required' aren't set in the environment ...
* tests/defs-static.in: ... in here, with some optimizations to
avoid useless forks. Also, do the same checks for the variables
`original_AUTOMAKE' and `original_ACLOCAL' too.
* tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: Update.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset also variables
`original_AUTOMAKE' and `original_ACLOCAL'.
tests: fix spurious failure in a test on TESTS (VPATH-related)
* check-tests-in-builddir.test: When not using the parallel-tests
option, do not check that VPATH components are not present in the
displayed test name, since the simple-tests driver do not try to
strip them.

test defs: new subroutines for test skipping/failing.
* tests/defs.in (Exit): Move definition of this function earlier.
(warn_, skip_, fail_, framework_failure_): New functions, inspired
to the homonyms in gnulib's tests/init.sh.
($stderr_fileno_): New global variable, used by the new functions
above.
* tests/README: Updated.
* tests/mclean.test: Remove, it's a weak grepping test completely
superseded by the much more complete `maintclean.test'.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
* tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if any of `parallel_tests'
or `required' is in the environment.
($sed_unindent_prog): Initialize to empty, to avoid interferences
from the environment.
* tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: Renamed to ...
* tests/self-check-env-sanitize.test: ... this, and extended.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variables `parallel_tests' and
`required'. Adjust comments.
tests: don't allow `$me' to be overridden from the environment
* tests/defs.in: Sanity check: abort if $me is in the environment.
* tests/self-check-me-in-env.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset variable `me'.
(TESTS): Update.
The AM_TESTS_SETUP naming was not a good one after all. It may
be technically more correct than AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, but the
latter is a better one simply because it is easier to remember,
and even if you've never heard of it and only know the semantics
of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, you can have a straightforward way to
figure out how AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT would work.
* tests/check.am (am__check_pre): Update.
* doc/automake.in (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Update.
* tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_setup.test: Renamed ...
* tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_environment.test: ... to this,
and updated.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
check: new developer-reserved AM_TESTS_SETUP variable
For reference, see the discussion at:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-01/msg00213.html>
* lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (am__check_pre): Pass also
$(AM_TESTS_SETUP). Comments updated, and some typos fixed.
* doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Document
AM_TESTS_SETUP. Reorder some of the existing documentation a bit.
* tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_setup.test: New test.
* tests/depcomp8b.test: Add the `--enable-dependency-tracking'
option to the ./configure invocation, so that slower dependency
extractors are not rejects.
* tests/depcomp8b.test: Likewise. Also ...
(foo.c): ... since we are at it, fix spacing to be consistent
with GNU coding standards.
The following additional changes has been made:
* m4/amversion.in: Bump serial number from `1' to `8', to avoid
potential future conflicts with branch-1.11.
* m4/amversion.m4: Likewise.
* m4/gcj.m4: Likewise.
* m4/python.m4: Likewise.
* m4/install-sh.m4: Likewise.
* tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Be laxer when grepping output
from `ls -l', to account for ACLs and SELinux-only files.
* tests/self-check-dir.test: Source `defs-static' to read in the
correct definition for $SHELL.
* tests/self-check-me.test: Likewise, and extend a bit.
maintainer check: quote literal `$' in Makefile rule
* Makefile.am (sc_tests_PATH_SEPARATOR): Escape literal `$'
character in double-quoted string. Fix a bug in which the rule
emitted an erroneously empty substring in its error message.
test defs: define default $distdir (help reducing duplication)
* tests/defs.in ($distdir): New variable, might be used in
testcases checking distribution-related features.
* tests/pr9.test: Use it.
* tests/subdir9.test: Likewise.
* tests/vtexi3.test: Add comment explaining why we redefine
$distdir in this test.
depcomp: fix bugs in tests and in the depcomp script
* lib/depcomp (gcc): Remove duplicated `-e' from sed invocation.
* tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable. Fix a blunder that
has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
causing shell syntax errors. In this same comment, break a
too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
Add reference to the relevant bug report. Add a comment which
explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
fails. Add other useful comments.
* tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.
* lib/depcomp: Be sure to remove VPATH-prefixed object from
dependency output when creating stub rule.
* tests/depcomp10.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
* NEWS: Update.

test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
$ javac -version
javac 1.5.0_22
javac: no source files
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
...
Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
seems to fix this problem.
* tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
`javac' program. Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
java: check_JAVA does not cause compilation by "make all" anymore
Fixes automake bug#8234.
* automake.in (handle_java): Make stamp of class files built from
java sources in $(check_JAVA) a dependency of `check' target, not
`all' target.
* tests/java-check.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
* NEWS: Update.
* THANKS: Update.
