252 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
253 if surrounded by '/'.

278 Icarus Sparry <savannah@icarus.freeuk.com>
280 * test_driver.pl (_run_command): New function: this is called by

305 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
307 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple

429 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
430 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the

466 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
468 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
469 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
470 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some

616 2005-02-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
618 * scripts/functions/eval: Check that eval of targets within
619 command scripts fails. See Savannah bug # 12124.
621 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
623 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
624 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes
625 to slashes and all CRLF to LF. This helps on DOS/Windows systems.
627 2005-02-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
629 * scripts/features/recursion: Test command line variable settings:
630 only one instance of a given variable should be provided.
632 2004-11-30 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
634 * tests/scripts/functions/abspath: New file: test `abspath'
637 * tests/scripts/functions/realpath: New file: test `realpath'
640 2004-11-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
642 * scripts/options/dash-C [WINDOWS32]: Add a test for bug #10252;
643 this doesn't really test anything useful in UNIX but...
645 * scripts/variables/SHELL: New file: test proper handling of SHELL
646 according to POSIX rules. Fixes bug #1276.
648 2004-10-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
650 * scripts/functions/word: Test $(firstword ) and $(lastword ).
652 2004-10-05 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
654 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test simple/recursive
657 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
659 * scripts/features/include: Test dontcare flag inheritance
660 when rebuilding makefiles.
662 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
664 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test exported variables.
666 2004-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
668 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Don't add newlines to the
669 makestring or answer if they are completely empty.
671 * scripts/features/patternrules: Rename from implicit_prereq_eval.
673 * scripts/test_template: Rework the template.
675 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
677 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
678 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
680 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
681 prerequisite evaluation code.
683 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
685 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
686 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
687 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
689 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
690 interacting with define/endef variables.
692 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
694 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
695 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
696 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
698 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
700 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
701 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
702 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
704 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
706 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
707 rather than relying on $HOME.
709 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
711 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
712 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
715 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
717 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
718 pattern rules (patch #2349).
720 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
722 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
723 whitespace--bug #5798.
725 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
727 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
729 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
730 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
732 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
734 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
735 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
738 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
740 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
741 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
743 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
745 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
746 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
747 length). Tests patch # 1022.
749 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
750 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
752 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
753 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
755 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
757 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
760 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
762 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
763 conditionals (Bug #1516).
765 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
767 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
768 with no commands (Bug #1418).
770 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
772 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
773 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
775 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
777 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
780 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
782 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
783 characters in targets and prerequisites.
785 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
787 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
788 variables in a single command.
790 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
792 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
793 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
794 double-colon targets.
796 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
798 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
801 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
802 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
804 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
805 in ifdef conditionals.
807 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
809 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
811 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
812 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
813 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
814 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
815 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
817 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
818 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
820 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
821 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
822 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
824 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
826 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
828 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
831 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
832 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
833 for now as it's not yet supported.
835 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
837 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
839 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
841 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
842 -valgrind option to the test suite.
843 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
844 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
845 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
846 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
848 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
850 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
853 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
854 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
855 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
856 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
857 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
859 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
861 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
863 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
865 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
867 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
869 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
870 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
871 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
873 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
875 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
876 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
878 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
880 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
881 directories in the script directories.
883 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
885 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
886 one of the command lines is quiet.
888 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
890 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
893 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
895 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
896 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
898 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
900 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
901 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
904 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
906 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
907 expect a warning message from Make.
909 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
911 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
912 jobs are not supported.
914 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
916 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
918 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
920 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
922 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
924 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
925 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
926 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
928 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
930 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
931 parallel jobs aren't supported.
933 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
935 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
937 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
939 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
940 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
941 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
943 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
944 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
945 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
946 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
948 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
949 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
950 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
951 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
952 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
954 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
955 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
957 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
959 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
960 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
962 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
964 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
965 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
968 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
970 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
971 in a target name (PR/1586).
973 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
975 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
976 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
978 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
980 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
981 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
982 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
984 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
985 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
986 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
988 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
989 instead of hardcoding 2.
990 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
991 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
993 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
995 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
996 are really directories.
998 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1000 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
1001 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
1004 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1006 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
1007 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
1008 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
1010 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1012 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
1013 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
1014 intermediate possibilities.
1016 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1018 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
1019 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
1020 to make sure they're handled serially.
1022 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1024 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
1025 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
1027 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
1028 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
1030 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1032 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
1033 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
1036 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1038 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
1039 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
1041 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1043 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
1044 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
1046 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1048 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
1049 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
1050 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
1051 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
1053 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1055 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
1056 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
1057 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1058 as many "sleep" commands.
1060 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1062 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1063 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1064 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1065 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1066 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1067 general, actually... where practical.
1068 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1069 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1071 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1072 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1073 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1075 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1076 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1077 happens before the command line processing).
1078 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1079 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1080 the VOS stuff here, too.
1081 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1082 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1085 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1086 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1087 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1089 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1091 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1092 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1093 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1094 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1095 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1096 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1097 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1098 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1099 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1100 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1101 time as it sees fit.
1103 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1104 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1105 to force the order we want.
1107 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1108 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1109 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1110 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1112 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1113 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1114 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1115 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1116 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1118 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1120 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
