181 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
182 if surrounded by '/'.
183 * scripts/misc/close_stdout: Use a regex for the answer, since

234 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

357 * run_make_tests.pl (get_this_pwd): Require the POSIX module (in
358 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
359 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the
360 previous methods. This tries to be more accurate on Windows
363 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
365 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
366 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of

395 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
397 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
398 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment

418 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
420 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
422 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.

550 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
552 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
553 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes

619 interacting with define/endef variables.
621 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
623 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
624 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
625 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
627 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
629 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
630 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
631 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
633 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
635 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
636 rather than relying on $HOME.
638 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
640 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
641 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
644 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
646 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
647 pattern rules (patch #2349).
649 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
651 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
652 whitespace--bug #5798.
654 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
656 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
658 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
659 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
661 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
663 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
664 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
667 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
669 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
670 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
672 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
674 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
675 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
676 length). Tests patch # 1022.
678 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
679 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
681 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
682 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
684 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
686 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
689 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
691 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
692 conditionals (Bug #1516).
694 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
696 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
697 with no commands (Bug #1418).
699 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
701 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
702 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
704 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
706 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
709 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
711 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
712 characters in targets and prerequisites.
714 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
716 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
717 variables in a single command.
719 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
721 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
722 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
723 double-colon targets.
725 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
727 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
730 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
731 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
733 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
734 in ifdef conditionals.
736 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
738 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
740 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
741 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
742 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
743 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
744 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
746 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
747 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
749 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
750 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
751 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
753 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
755 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
757 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
760 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
761 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
762 for now as it's not yet supported.
764 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
766 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
768 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
770 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
771 -valgrind option to the test suite.
772 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
773 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
774 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
775 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
777 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
779 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
782 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
783 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
784 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
785 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
786 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
788 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
790 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
792 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
794 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
796 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
798 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
799 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
800 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
802 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
804 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
805 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
807 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
809 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
810 directories in the script directories.
812 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
814 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
815 one of the command lines is quiet.
817 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
819 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
822 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
824 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
825 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
827 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
829 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
830 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
833 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
835 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
836 expect a warning message from Make.
838 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
840 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
841 jobs are not supported.
843 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
845 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
847 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
849 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
851 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
853 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
854 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
855 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
857 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
859 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
860 parallel jobs aren't supported.
862 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
864 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
866 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
868 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
869 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
870 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
872 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
873 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
874 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
875 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
877 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
878 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
879 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
880 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
881 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
883 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
884 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
886 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
888 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
889 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
891 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
893 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
894 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
897 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
899 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
900 in a target name (PR/1586).
902 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
904 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
905 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
907 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
909 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
910 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
911 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
913 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
914 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
915 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
917 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
918 instead of hardcoding 2.
919 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
920 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
922 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
924 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
925 are really directories.
927 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
929 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
930 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
933 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
935 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
936 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
937 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
939 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
941 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
942 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
943 intermediate possibilities.
945 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
947 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
948 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
949 to make sure they're handled serially.
951 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
953 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
954 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
956 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
957 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
959 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
961 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
962 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
965 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
967 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
968 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
970 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
972 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
973 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
975 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
977 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
978 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
979 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
980 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
982 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
984 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
985 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
986 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
987 as many "sleep" commands.
989 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
991 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
992 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
993 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
994 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
995 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
996 general, actually... where practical.
997 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
998 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1000 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1001 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1002 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1004 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1005 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1006 happens before the command line processing).
1007 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1008 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1009 the VOS stuff here, too.
1010 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1011 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1014 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1015 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1016 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1018 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1020 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1021 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1022 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1023 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1024 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1025 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1026 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1027 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1028 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1029 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1030 time as it sees fit.
1032 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1033 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1034 to force the order we want.
1036 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1037 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1038 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1039 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1041 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1042 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1043 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1044 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1045 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1047 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1049 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
1052 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1054 ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
