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

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

242 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
244 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple

360 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): If we can't get the value
361 of $(MAKE) from make, then fatal immediately.
363 2005-08-31 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
365 * run_make_tests.pl (get_this_pwd): Require the POSIX module (in
366 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
367 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the
368 previous methods. This tries to be more accurate on Windows
371 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
373 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
374 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of

381 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

401 for all its children in some situations during parallel builds.
403 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
405 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
406 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
407 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some

426 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
428 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
430 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.
432 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

558 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
560 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
561 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes

617 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
618 prerequisite evaluation code.
620 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
622 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
623 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
624 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
626 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
627 interacting with define/endef variables.
629 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
631 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
632 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
633 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
635 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
637 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
638 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
639 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
641 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
643 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
644 rather than relying on $HOME.
646 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
648 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
649 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
652 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
654 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
655 pattern rules (patch #2349).
657 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
659 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
660 whitespace--bug #5798.
662 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
664 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
666 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
667 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
669 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
671 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
672 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
675 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
677 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
678 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
680 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
682 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
683 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
684 length). Tests patch # 1022.
686 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
687 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
689 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
690 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
692 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
694 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
697 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
699 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
700 conditionals (Bug #1516).
702 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
704 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
705 with no commands (Bug #1418).
707 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
709 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
710 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
712 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
714 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
717 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
719 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
720 characters in targets and prerequisites.
722 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
724 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
725 variables in a single command.
727 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
729 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
730 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
731 double-colon targets.
733 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
735 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
738 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
739 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
741 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
742 in ifdef conditionals.
744 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
746 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
748 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
749 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
750 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
751 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
752 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
754 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
755 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
757 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
758 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
759 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
761 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
763 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
765 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
768 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
769 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
770 for now as it's not yet supported.
772 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
774 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
776 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
778 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
779 -valgrind option to the test suite.
780 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
781 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
782 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
783 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
785 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
787 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
790 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
791 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
792 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
793 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
794 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
796 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
798 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
800 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
802 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
804 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
806 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
807 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
808 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
810 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
812 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
813 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
815 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
817 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
818 directories in the script directories.
820 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
822 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
823 one of the command lines is quiet.
825 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
827 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
830 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
832 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
833 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
835 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
837 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
838 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
841 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
843 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
844 expect a warning message from Make.
846 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
848 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
849 jobs are not supported.
851 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
853 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
855 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
857 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
859 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
861 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
862 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
863 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
865 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
867 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
868 parallel jobs aren't supported.
870 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
872 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
874 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
876 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
877 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
878 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
880 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
881 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
882 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
883 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
885 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
886 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
887 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
888 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
889 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
891 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
892 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
894 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
896 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
897 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
899 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
901 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
902 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
905 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
907 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
908 in a target name (PR/1586).
910 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
912 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
913 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
915 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
917 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
918 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
919 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
921 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
922 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
923 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
925 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
926 instead of hardcoding 2.
927 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
928 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
930 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
932 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
933 are really directories.
935 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
937 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
938 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
941 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
943 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
944 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
945 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
947 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
949 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
950 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
951 intermediate possibilities.
953 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
955 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
956 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
957 to make sure they're handled serially.
959 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
961 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
962 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
964 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
965 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
967 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
969 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
970 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
973 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
975 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
976 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
978 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
980 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
981 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
983 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
985 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
986 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
987 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
988 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
990 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
992 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
993 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
994 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
995 as many "sleep" commands.
997 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
999 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1000 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1001 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1002 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1003 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1004 general, actually... where practical.
1005 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1006 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1008 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1009 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1010 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1012 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1013 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1014 happens before the command line processing).
1015 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1016 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1017 the VOS stuff here, too.
1018 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1019 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1022 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1023 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1024 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1026 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1028 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1029 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1030 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1031 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1032 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1033 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1034 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1035 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1036 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1037 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1038 time as it sees fit.
1040 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1041 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1042 to force the order we want.
1044 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1045 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1046 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1047 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1049 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1050 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1051 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1052 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1053 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1055 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1057 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
1060 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1062 ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
