222 * scripts/functions/eval: Update error message for command -> recipe.
224 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
225 if surrounded by '/'.
226 * scripts/misc/close_stdout: Use a regex for the answer, since
227 sometimes the error will have a description and sometimes it won't.

249 Original idea and patch for a single-test version provided by
250 Icarus Sparry <savannah@icarus.freeuk.com>
252 * test_driver.pl (_run_command): New function: this is called by
253 other functions to actually run a command. Before we run it,
254 install a SIGALRM handler and set up a timer to go off in the
255 future (default is 5s; this can be overridden by individual tests).
256 (run_command): Call it.

277 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
279 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple

297 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): Set the status properly even
298 when a test fails to execute. Fixes Savannah bug #15942.
300 * scripts/functions/foreach: Use a different environment variable

315 guarantees that we have to merge variable lists of different
316 sizes. Tests for Savannah bug #15757.
318 2006-02-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

395 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): If we can't get the value
396 of $(MAKE) from make, then fatal immediately.
398 2005-08-31 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
400 * run_make_tests.pl (get_this_pwd): Require the POSIX module (in
401 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
402 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the
403 previous methods. This tries to be more accurate on Windows
406 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
408 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
409 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of
412 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Don't use "test", which is

416 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

436 for all its children in some situations during parallel builds.
438 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
440 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
441 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
442 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some
443 variables are leaking out beyond the tests they are intended for.
444 Create an %extraENV hash tests can set to add more env. vars.
445 * tests/scripts/features/export: Change to use %extraENV.

461 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
463 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
465 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.
467 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

566 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST, scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST:
567 Rename MAKEFILE_LIST test to MFILE_LIST, for systems that need 8.3

593 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
595 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
596 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes

615 this doesn't really test anything useful in UNIX but...
617 * scripts/variables/SHELL: New file: test proper handling of SHELL
618 according to POSIX rules. Fixes bug #1276.
620 2004-10-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
622 * scripts/functions/word: Test $(firstword ) and $(lastword ).
624 2004-10-05 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
626 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test simple/recursive
629 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
631 * scripts/features/include: Test dontcare flag inheritance
632 when rebuilding makefiles.
634 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
636 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test exported variables.
638 2004-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
640 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Don't add newlines to the
641 makestring or answer if they are completely empty.
643 * scripts/features/patternrules: Rename from implicit_prereq_eval.
645 * scripts/test_template: Rework the template.
647 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
649 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
650 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
652 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
653 prerequisite evaluation code.
655 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
657 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
658 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
659 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
661 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
662 interacting with define/endef variables.
664 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
666 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
667 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
668 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
670 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
672 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
673 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
674 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
676 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
678 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
679 rather than relying on $HOME.
681 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
683 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
684 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
687 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
689 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
690 pattern rules (patch #2349).
692 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
694 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
695 whitespace--bug #5798.
697 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
699 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
701 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
702 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
704 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
706 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
707 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
710 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
712 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
713 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
715 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
717 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
718 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
719 length). Tests patch # 1022.
721 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
722 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
724 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
725 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
727 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
729 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
732 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
734 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
735 conditionals (Bug #1516).
737 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
739 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
740 with no commands (Bug #1418).
742 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
744 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
745 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
747 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
749 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
752 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
754 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
755 characters in targets and prerequisites.
757 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
759 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
760 variables in a single command.
762 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
764 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
765 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
766 double-colon targets.
768 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
770 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
773 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
774 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
776 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
777 in ifdef conditionals.
779 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
781 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
783 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
784 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
785 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
786 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
787 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
789 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
790 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
792 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
793 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
794 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
796 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
798 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
800 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
803 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
804 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
805 for now as it's not yet supported.
807 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
809 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
811 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
813 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
814 -valgrind option to the test suite.
815 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
816 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
817 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
818 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
820 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
822 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
825 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
826 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
827 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
828 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
829 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
831 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
833 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
835 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
837 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
839 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
841 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
842 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
843 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
845 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
847 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
848 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
850 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
852 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
853 directories in the script directories.
855 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
857 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
858 one of the command lines is quiet.
860 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
862 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
865 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
867 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
868 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
870 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
872 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
873 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
876 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
878 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
879 expect a warning message from Make.
881 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
883 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
884 jobs are not supported.
886 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
888 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
890 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
892 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
894 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
896 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
897 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
898 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
900 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
902 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
903 parallel jobs aren't supported.
905 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
907 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
909 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
911 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
912 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
913 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
915 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
916 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
917 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
918 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
920 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
921 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
922 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
923 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
924 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
926 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
927 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
929 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
931 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
932 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
934 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
936 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
937 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
940 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
942 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
943 in a target name (PR/1586).
945 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
947 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
948 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
950 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
952 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
953 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
954 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
956 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
957 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
958 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
960 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
961 instead of hardcoding 2.
962 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
963 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
965 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
967 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
968 are really directories.
970 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
972 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
973 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
976 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
978 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
979 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
980 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
982 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
984 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
985 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
986 intermediate possibilities.
988 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
990 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
991 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
992 to make sure they're handled serially.
994 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
996 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
997 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
999 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
1000 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
1002 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1004 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
1005 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
1008 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1010 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
1011 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
1013 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1015 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
1016 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
1018 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1020 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
1021 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
1022 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
1023 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
1025 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1027 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
1028 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
1029 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1030 as many "sleep" commands.
1032 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1034 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1035 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1036 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1037 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1038 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1039 general, actually... where practical.
1040 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1041 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1043 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1044 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1045 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1047 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1048 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1049 happens before the command line processing).
1050 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1051 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1052 the VOS stuff here, too.
1053 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1054 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1057 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1058 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1059 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1061 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1063 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1064 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1065 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1066 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1067 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1068 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1069 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1070 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1071 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1072 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1073 time as it sees fit.
1075 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1076 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1077 to force the order we want.
1079 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1080 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1081 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1082 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1084 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1085 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1086 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1087 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1088 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1090 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1092 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
1095 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1097 ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
