3 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
4 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
5 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
7 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
8 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
9 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
10 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
12 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
13 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
14 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
15 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
16 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
18 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
19 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
21 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
23 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
24 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
26 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
28 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
29 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
32 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
34 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
35 in a target name (PR/1586).
37 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
39 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
40 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
42 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
44 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
45 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
46 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
48 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
49 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
50 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
52 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
53 instead of hardcoding 2.
54 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
55 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
57 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
59 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
60 are really directories.
62 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
64 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
65 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
68 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
70 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
71 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
72 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
74 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
76 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
77 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
78 intermediate possibilities.
80 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
82 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
83 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
84 to make sure they're handled serially.
86 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
88 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
89 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
91 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
92 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
94 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
96 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
97 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
100 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
102 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
103 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
105 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
107 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
108 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
110 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
112 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
113 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
114 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
115 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
117 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
119 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
120 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
121 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
122 as many "sleep" commands.
124 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
126 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
127 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
128 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
129 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
130 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
131 general, actually... where practical.
132 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
133 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
135 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
136 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
137 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
139 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
140 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
141 happens before the command line processing).
142 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
143 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
144 the VOS stuff here, too.
145 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
146 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
149 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
150 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
151 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
153 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
155 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
156 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
157 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
158 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
159 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
160 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
161 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
162 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
163 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
164 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
167 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
168 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
169 to force the order we want.
171 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
172 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
173 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
174 the environment rather than require specific versions.
176 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
177 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
178 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
179 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
180 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
182 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
184 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right

189 ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
