139 non-existent glob matchers return empty.
141 2009-06-09 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
143 * scripts/options/dash-B: Test the $? works correctly with -B.

150 tests containing the command that was run.
151 (get_runfile): New function.

154 allow memcheck and massif tools.
156 * scripts/features/patternrules: Have to comment out a line in the

218 * scripts/functions/eval: Update error message for command -> recipe.
220 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
221 if surrounded by '/'.
222 * scripts/misc/close_stdout: Use a regex for the answer, since
223 sometimes the error will have a description and sometimes it won't.
225 2007-09-10 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
227 * scripts/variables/special: Add tests for .RECIPEPREFIX variable.
229 2007-08-15 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

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

273 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
275 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple
276 initial slashes on Windows: those paths mean something different.
278 2006-03-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

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

310 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test a complex construction which
311 guarantees that we have to merge variable lists of different
312 sizes. Tests for Savannah bug #15757.
314 2006-02-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

388 * scripts/features/se_explicit: Add tests for handling '$$' in
389 prerequisite lists with and without setting .SECONDEXPANSION.
390 * scripts/features/order_only: Convert to run_make_test().
391 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): If we can't get the value
392 of $(MAKE) from make, then fatal immediately.
394 2005-08-31 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
396 * run_make_tests.pl (get_this_pwd): Require the POSIX module (in
397 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
398 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the
399 previous methods. This tries to be more accurate on Windows
402 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
404 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
405 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of
408 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Don't use "test", which is
409 UNIX specific. Print the values and let the test script match
412 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

431 Michael Matz (matz@suse.de) in which make exits without waiting
432 for all its children in some situations during parallel builds.
434 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
436 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
437 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
438 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some
439 variables are leaking out beyond the tests they are intended for.
440 Create an %extraENV hash tests can set to add more env. vars.
441 * tests/scripts/features/export: Change to use %extraENV.

453 * scripts/features/patternrules: False exits with different error
454 codes on different systems (for example, Linux => 1, Solaris => 255).

457 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
459 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
461 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.
463 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

556 * scripts/options/dash-q: Add a test for Savannah bug # 7144.
558 * scripts/options/symlinks: New file to test checking of symlink
559 timestamps. Can't use filename dash-L because it conflicts with
560 dash-l on case-insensitive filesystems.
562 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST, scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST:
563 Rename MAKEFILE_LIST test to MFILE_LIST, for systems that need 8.3

587 command scripts fails. See Savannah bug # 12124.
589 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
591 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
592 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes

595 2005-02-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
597 * scripts/features/recursion: Test command line variable settings:

614 according to POSIX rules. Fixes bug #1276.
616 2004-10-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
618 * scripts/functions/word: Test $(firstword ) and $(lastword ).
620 2004-10-05 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
622 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test simple/recursive
625 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
627 * scripts/features/include: Test dontcare flag inheritance
628 when rebuilding makefiles.
630 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
632 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test exported variables.
634 2004-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
636 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Don't add newlines to the
637 makestring or answer if they are completely empty.
639 * scripts/features/patternrules: Rename from implicit_prereq_eval.
641 * scripts/test_template: Rework the template.
643 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
645 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
646 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
648 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
649 prerequisite evaluation code.
651 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
653 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
654 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
655 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
657 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
658 interacting with define/endef variables.
660 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
662 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
663 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
664 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
666 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
668 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
669 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
670 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
672 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
674 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
675 rather than relying on $HOME.
677 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
679 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
680 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
683 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
685 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
686 pattern rules (patch #2349).
688 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
690 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
691 whitespace--bug #5798.
693 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
695 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
697 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
698 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
700 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
702 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
703 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
706 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
708 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
709 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
711 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
713 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
714 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
715 length). Tests patch # 1022.
717 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
718 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
720 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
721 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
723 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
725 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
728 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
730 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
731 conditionals (Bug #1516).
733 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
735 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
736 with no commands (Bug #1418).
738 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
740 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
741 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
743 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
745 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
748 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
750 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
751 characters in targets and prerequisites.
753 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
755 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
756 variables in a single command.
758 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
760 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
761 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
762 double-colon targets.
764 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
766 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
769 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
770 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
772 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
773 in ifdef conditionals.
775 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
777 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
779 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
780 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
781 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
782 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
783 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
785 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
786 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
788 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
789 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
790 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
792 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
794 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
796 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
799 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
800 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
801 for now as it's not yet supported.
803 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
805 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
807 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
809 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
810 -valgrind option to the test suite.
811 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
812 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
813 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
814 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
816 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
818 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
821 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
822 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
823 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
824 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
825 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
827 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
829 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
831 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
833 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
835 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
837 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
838 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
839 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
841 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
843 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
844 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
846 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
848 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
849 directories in the script directories.
851 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
853 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
854 one of the command lines is quiet.
856 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
858 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
861 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
863 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
864 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
866 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
868 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
869 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
872 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
874 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
875 expect a warning message from Make.
877 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
879 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
880 jobs are not supported.
882 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
884 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
886 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
888 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
890 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
892 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
893 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
894 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
896 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
898 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
899 parallel jobs aren't supported.
901 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
903 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
905 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
907 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
908 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
909 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
911 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
912 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
913 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
914 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
916 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
917 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
918 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
919 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
920 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
922 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
923 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
925 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
927 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
928 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
930 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
932 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
933 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
936 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
938 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
939 in a target name (PR/1586).
941 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
943 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
944 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
946 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
948 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
949 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
950 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
952 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
953 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
954 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
956 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
957 instead of hardcoding 2.
958 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
959 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
961 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
963 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
964 are really directories.
966 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
968 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
969 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
972 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
974 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
975 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
976 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
978 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
980 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
981 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
982 intermediate possibilities.
984 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
986 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
987 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
988 to make sure they're handled serially.
990 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
992 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
993 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
995 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
996 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
998 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1000 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
1001 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
1004 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1006 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
1007 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
1009 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1011 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
1012 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
1014 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1016 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
1017 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
1018 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
1019 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
1021 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1023 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
1024 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
1025 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1026 as many "sleep" commands.
1028 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1030 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1031 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1032 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1033 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1034 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1035 general, actually... where practical.
1036 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1037 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1039 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1040 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1041 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1043 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1044 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1045 happens before the command line processing).
1046 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1047 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1048 the VOS stuff here, too.
1049 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1050 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1053 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1054 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1055 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1057 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1059 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1060 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1061 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1062 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1063 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1064 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1065 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1066 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1067 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1068 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1069 time as it sees fit.
1071 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1072 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1073 to force the order we want.
1075 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1076 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1077 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1078 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1080 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1081 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1082 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1083 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1084 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1086 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1088 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
