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

368 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
370 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple

507 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

529 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
531 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
532 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
533 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some
534 variables are leaking out beyond the tests they are intended for.

552 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
554 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
556 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.

609 run_make_test() everywhere.
611 2005-04-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
613 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Add a test for Savannah bug #12331.
615 2005-03-15 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>

630 * scripts/features/patternrules: Add a test for Savannah bug #12202.
632 2005-03-03 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
634 * scripts/features/se_implicit: Add a test for stem
635 termination bug. Add a test for stem triple-expansion bug.
637 * scripts/features/se_statpat: Add a test for stem
638 triple-expansion bug.
640 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Change test #4 to reflect
641 new way empty prerequisite list is handled.
644 2005-03-01 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
646 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Add a test for
649 2005-02-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
651 * scripts/options/dash-q: Add a test for Savannah bug # 7144.
653 * scripts/options/symlinks: New file to test checking of symlink
654 timestamps. Can't use filename dash-L because it conflicts with
655 dash-l on case-insensitive filesystems.
657 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST, scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST:
658 Rename MAKEFILE_LIST test to MFILE_LIST, for systems that need 8.3
661 2005-02-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
663 * scripts/variables/DEFAULT_TARGET: Test the .DEFAULT_TARGET
666 2005-02-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
668 * scripts/features/se_explicit: Test the second expansion in
670 * scripts/features/se_implicit: Test the second expansion in
672 * scripts/features/se_statpat: Test the second expansion in
673 static pattern rules.
674 * scripts/variables/automatic: Fix to work with the second
677 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test for bug #12091.
679 2005-02-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
681 * scripts/functions/eval: Check that eval of targets within
682 command scripts fails. See Savannah bug # 12124.
684 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
686 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
687 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes
688 to slashes and all CRLF to LF. This helps on DOS/Windows systems.
690 2005-02-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
692 * scripts/features/recursion: Test command line variable settings:
693 only one instance of a given variable should be provided.
695 2004-11-30 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
697 * tests/scripts/functions/abspath: New file: test `abspath'
700 * tests/scripts/functions/realpath: New file: test `realpath'
703 2004-11-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
705 * scripts/options/dash-C [WINDOWS32]: Add a test for bug #10252;
706 this doesn't really test anything useful in UNIX but...
708 * scripts/variables/SHELL: New file: test proper handling of SHELL
709 according to POSIX rules. Fixes bug #1276.
711 2004-10-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
713 * scripts/functions/word: Test $(firstword ) and $(lastword ).
715 2004-10-05 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
717 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test simple/recursive
720 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
722 * scripts/features/include: Test dontcare flag inheritance
723 when rebuilding makefiles.
725 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
727 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test exported variables.
729 2004-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
731 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Don't add newlines to the
732 makestring or answer if they are completely empty.
734 * scripts/features/patternrules: Rename from implicit_prereq_eval.
736 * scripts/test_template: Rework the template.
738 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
740 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
741 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
743 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
744 prerequisite evaluation code.
746 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
748 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
749 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
750 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
752 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
753 interacting with define/endef variables.
755 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
757 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
758 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
759 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
761 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
763 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
764 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
765 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
767 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
769 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
770 rather than relying on $HOME.
772 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
774 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
775 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
778 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
780 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
781 pattern rules (patch #2349).
783 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
785 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
786 whitespace--bug #5798.
788 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
790 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
792 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
793 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
795 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
797 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
798 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
801 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
803 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
804 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
806 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
808 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
809 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
810 length). Tests patch # 1022.
812 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
813 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
815 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
816 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
818 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
820 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
823 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
825 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
826 conditionals (Bug #1516).
828 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
830 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
831 with no commands (Bug #1418).
833 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
835 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
836 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
838 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
840 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
843 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
845 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
846 characters in targets and prerequisites.
848 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
850 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
851 variables in a single command.
853 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
855 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
856 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
857 double-colon targets.
859 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
861 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
864 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
865 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
867 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
868 in ifdef conditionals.
870 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
872 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
874 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
875 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
876 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
877 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
878 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
880 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
881 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
883 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
884 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
885 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
887 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
889 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
891 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
894 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
895 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
896 for now as it's not yet supported.
898 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
900 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
902 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
904 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
905 -valgrind option to the test suite.
906 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
907 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
908 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
909 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
911 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
913 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
916 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
917 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
918 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
919 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
920 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
922 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
924 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
926 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
928 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
930 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
932 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
933 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
934 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
936 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
938 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
939 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
941 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
943 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
944 directories in the script directories.
946 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
948 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
949 one of the command lines is quiet.
951 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
953 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
956 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
958 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
959 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
961 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
963 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
964 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
967 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
969 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
970 expect a warning message from Make.
972 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
974 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
975 jobs are not supported.
977 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
979 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
981 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
983 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
985 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
987 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
988 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
989 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
991 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
993 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
994 parallel jobs aren't supported.
996 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
998 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
1000 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1002 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
1003 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
1004 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
1006 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
1007 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
1008 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
1009 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1011 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
1012 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
1013 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
1014 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
1015 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
1017 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
1018 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
1020 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1022 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
1023 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
1025 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1027 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
1028 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
1031 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1033 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
1034 in a target name (PR/1586).
1036 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1038 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
1039 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
1041 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1043 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
1044 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
1045 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
1047 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
1048 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
1049 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
1050 1 for other systems.
1051 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
1052 instead of hardcoding 2.
1053 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
1054 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
1056 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1058 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
1059 are really directories.
1061 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1063 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
1064 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
1067 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1069 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
1070 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
1071 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
1073 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1075 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
1076 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
1077 intermediate possibilities.
1079 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1081 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
1082 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
1083 to make sure they're handled serially.
1085 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1087 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
1088 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
1090 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
1091 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
1093 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1095 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
1096 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
1099 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1101 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
1102 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
1104 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1106 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
1107 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
1109 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1111 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
1112 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
1113 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
1114 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
1116 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1118 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
1119 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
1120 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1121 as many "sleep" commands.
1123 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1125 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1126 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1127 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1128 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1129 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1130 general, actually... where practical.
1131 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1132 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1134 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1135 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1136 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1138 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1139 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1140 happens before the command line processing).
1141 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1142 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1143 the VOS stuff here, too.
1144 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1145 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1148 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1149 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1150 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1152 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1154 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1155 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1156 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1157 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1158 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1159 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1160 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1161 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1162 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1163 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1164 time as it sees fit.
1166 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1167 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1168 to force the order we want.
1170 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1171 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1172 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1173 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1175 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1176 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1177 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1178 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1179 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1181 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1183 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
