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

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

485 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
487 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
488 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment

611 dash-l on case-insensitive filesystems.
613 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST, scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST:
614 Rename MAKEFILE_LIST test to MFILE_LIST, for systems that need 8.3
617 2005-02-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
619 * scripts/variables/DEFAULT_TARGET: Test the .DEFAULT_TARGET
622 2005-02-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
624 * scripts/features/se_explicit: Test the second expansion in
626 * scripts/features/se_implicit: Test the second expansion in
628 * scripts/features/se_statpat: Test the second expansion in
629 static pattern rules.
630 * scripts/variables/automatic: Fix to work with the second
633 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test for bug #12091.
635 2005-02-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
637 * scripts/functions/eval: Check that eval of targets within
638 command scripts fails. See Savannah bug # 12124.
640 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
642 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
643 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes
644 to slashes and all CRLF to LF. This helps on DOS/Windows systems.
646 2005-02-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
648 * scripts/features/recursion: Test command line variable settings:
649 only one instance of a given variable should be provided.
651 2004-11-30 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
653 * tests/scripts/functions/abspath: New file: test `abspath'
656 * tests/scripts/functions/realpath: New file: test `realpath'
659 2004-11-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
661 * scripts/options/dash-C [WINDOWS32]: Add a test for bug #10252;
662 this doesn't really test anything useful in UNIX but...
664 * scripts/variables/SHELL: New file: test proper handling of SHELL
665 according to POSIX rules. Fixes bug #1276.
667 2004-10-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
669 * scripts/functions/word: Test $(firstword ) and $(lastword ).
671 2004-10-05 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
673 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test simple/recursive
676 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
678 * scripts/features/include: Test dontcare flag inheritance
679 when rebuilding makefiles.
681 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
683 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test exported variables.
685 2004-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
687 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Don't add newlines to the
688 makestring or answer if they are completely empty.
690 * scripts/features/patternrules: Rename from implicit_prereq_eval.
692 * scripts/test_template: Rework the template.
694 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
696 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
697 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
699 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
700 prerequisite evaluation code.
702 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
704 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
705 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
706 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
708 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
709 interacting with define/endef variables.
711 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
713 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
714 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
715 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
717 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
719 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
720 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
721 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
723 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
725 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
726 rather than relying on $HOME.
728 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
730 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
731 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
734 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
736 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
737 pattern rules (patch #2349).
739 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
741 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
742 whitespace--bug #5798.
744 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
746 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
748 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
749 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
751 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
753 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
754 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
757 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
759 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
760 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
762 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
764 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
765 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
766 length). Tests patch # 1022.
768 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
769 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
771 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
772 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
774 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
776 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
779 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
781 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
782 conditionals (Bug #1516).
784 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
786 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
787 with no commands (Bug #1418).
789 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
791 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
792 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
794 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
796 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
799 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
801 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
802 characters in targets and prerequisites.
804 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
806 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
807 variables in a single command.
809 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
811 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
812 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
813 double-colon targets.
815 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
817 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
820 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
821 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
823 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
824 in ifdef conditionals.
826 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
828 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
830 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
831 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
832 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
833 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
834 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
836 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
837 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
839 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
840 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
841 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
843 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
845 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
847 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
850 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
851 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
852 for now as it's not yet supported.
854 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
856 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
858 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
860 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
861 -valgrind option to the test suite.
862 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
863 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
864 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
865 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
867 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
869 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
872 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
873 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
874 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
875 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
876 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
878 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
880 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
882 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
884 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
886 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
888 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
889 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
890 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
892 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
894 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
895 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
897 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
899 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
900 directories in the script directories.
902 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
904 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
905 one of the command lines is quiet.
907 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
909 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
912 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
914 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
915 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
917 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
919 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
920 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
923 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
925 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
926 expect a warning message from Make.
928 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
930 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
931 jobs are not supported.
933 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
935 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
937 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
939 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
941 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
943 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
944 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
945 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
947 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
949 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
950 parallel jobs aren't supported.
952 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
954 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
956 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
958 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
959 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
960 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
962 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
963 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
964 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
965 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
967 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
968 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
969 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
970 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
971 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
973 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
974 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
976 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
978 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
979 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
981 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
983 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
984 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
987 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
989 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
990 in a target name (PR/1586).
992 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
994 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
995 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
997 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
999 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
1000 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
1001 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
1003 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
1004 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
1005 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
1006 1 for other systems.
1007 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
1008 instead of hardcoding 2.
1009 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
1010 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
1012 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1014 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
1015 are really directories.
1017 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1019 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
1020 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
1023 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1025 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
1026 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
1027 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
1029 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1031 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
1032 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
1033 intermediate possibilities.
1035 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1037 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
1038 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
1039 to make sure they're handled serially.
1041 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1043 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
1044 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
1046 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
1047 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
1049 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1051 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
1052 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
1055 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1057 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
1058 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
1060 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1062 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
1063 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
1065 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1067 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
1068 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
1069 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
1070 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
1072 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1074 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
1075 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
1076 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1077 as many "sleep" commands.
1079 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1081 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1082 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1083 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1084 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1085 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1086 general, actually... where practical.
1087 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1088 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1090 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1091 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1092 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1094 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1095 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1096 happens before the command line processing).
1097 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1098 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1099 the VOS stuff here, too.
1100 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1101 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1104 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1105 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1106 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1108 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1110 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1111 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1112 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1113 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1114 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1115 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1116 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1117 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1118 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1119 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1120 time as it sees fit.
1122 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1123 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1124 to force the order we want.
1126 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1127 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1128 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1129 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1131 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1132 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1133 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1134 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1135 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1137 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1139 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
1142 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1144 ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
