331 * scripts/functions/eval: Update error message for command -> recipe.
333 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
334 if surrounded by '/'.
335 * scripts/misc/close_stdout: Use a regex for the answer, since

358 Original idea and patch for a single-test version provided by
359 Icarus Sparry <savannah@icarus.freeuk.com>
361 * test_driver.pl (_run_command): New function: this is called by
362 other functions to actually run a command. Before we run it,

386 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
388 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple

510 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
511 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the

515 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
517 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
518 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of

525 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

545 for all its children in some situations during parallel builds.
547 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
549 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
550 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
551 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some
552 variables are leaking out beyond the tests they are intended for.
553 Create an %extraENV hash tests can set to add more env. vars.

570 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
572 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
574 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.
576 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

618 2005-05-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
620 * scripts/variables/DEFAULT_GOAL: Rename DEFAULT_TARGET to
623 2005-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
625 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a test for exporting recursive
626 variables containing $(shell ) calls. Rewrite this script to use
627 run_make_test() everywhere.
629 2005-04-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
631 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Add a test for Savannah bug #12331.

650 2005-03-03 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
652 * scripts/features/se_implicit: Add a test for stem
653 termination bug. Add a test for stem triple-expansion bug.
655 * scripts/features/se_statpat: Add a test for stem
656 triple-expansion bug.
658 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Change test #4 to reflect
659 new way empty prerequisite list is handled.
662 2005-03-01 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
664 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Add a test for
667 2005-02-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
669 * scripts/options/dash-q: Add a test for Savannah bug # 7144.
671 * scripts/options/symlinks: New file to test checking of symlink
672 timestamps. Can't use filename dash-L because it conflicts with
673 dash-l on case-insensitive filesystems.
675 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST, scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST:
676 Rename MAKEFILE_LIST test to MFILE_LIST, for systems that need 8.3
679 2005-02-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
681 * scripts/variables/DEFAULT_TARGET: Test the .DEFAULT_TARGET
684 2005-02-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
686 * scripts/features/se_explicit: Test the second expansion in
688 * scripts/features/se_implicit: Test the second expansion in
690 * scripts/features/se_statpat: Test the second expansion in
691 static pattern rules.
692 * scripts/variables/automatic: Fix to work with the second
695 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test for bug #12091.
697 2005-02-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
699 * scripts/functions/eval: Check that eval of targets within
700 command scripts fails. See Savannah bug # 12124.
702 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
704 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
705 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes
706 to slashes and all CRLF to LF. This helps on DOS/Windows systems.
708 2005-02-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
710 * scripts/features/recursion: Test command line variable settings:
711 only one instance of a given variable should be provided.
713 2004-11-30 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
715 * tests/scripts/functions/abspath: New file: test `abspath'
718 * tests/scripts/functions/realpath: New file: test `realpath'
721 2004-11-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
723 * scripts/options/dash-C [WINDOWS32]: Add a test for bug #10252;
724 this doesn't really test anything useful in UNIX but...
726 * scripts/variables/SHELL: New file: test proper handling of SHELL
727 according to POSIX rules. Fixes bug #1276.
729 2004-10-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
731 * scripts/functions/word: Test $(firstword ) and $(lastword ).
733 2004-10-05 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
735 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test simple/recursive
738 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
740 * scripts/features/include: Test dontcare flag inheritance
741 when rebuilding makefiles.
743 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
745 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test exported variables.
747 2004-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
749 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Don't add newlines to the
750 makestring or answer if they are completely empty.
752 * scripts/features/patternrules: Rename from implicit_prereq_eval.
754 * scripts/test_template: Rework the template.
756 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
758 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
759 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
761 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
762 prerequisite evaluation code.
764 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
766 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
767 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
768 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
770 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
771 interacting with define/endef variables.
773 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
775 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
776 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
777 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
779 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
781 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
782 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
783 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
785 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
787 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
788 rather than relying on $HOME.
790 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
792 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
793 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
796 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
798 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
799 pattern rules (patch #2349).
801 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
803 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
804 whitespace--bug #5798.
806 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
808 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
810 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
811 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
813 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
815 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
816 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
819 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
821 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
822 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
824 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
826 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
827 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
828 length). Tests patch # 1022.
830 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
831 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
833 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
834 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
836 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
838 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
841 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
843 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
844 conditionals (Bug #1516).
846 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
848 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
849 with no commands (Bug #1418).
851 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
853 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
854 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
856 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
858 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
861 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
863 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
864 characters in targets and prerequisites.
866 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
868 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
869 variables in a single command.
871 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
873 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
874 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
875 double-colon targets.
877 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
879 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
882 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
883 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
885 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
886 in ifdef conditionals.
888 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
890 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
892 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
893 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
894 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
895 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
896 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
898 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
899 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
901 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
902 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
903 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
905 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
907 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
909 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
912 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
913 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
914 for now as it's not yet supported.
916 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
918 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
920 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
922 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
923 -valgrind option to the test suite.
924 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
925 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
926 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
927 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
929 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
931 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
934 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
935 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
936 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
937 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
938 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
940 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
942 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
944 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
946 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
948 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
950 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
951 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
952 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
954 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
956 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
957 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
959 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
961 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
962 directories in the script directories.
964 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
966 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
967 one of the command lines is quiet.
969 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
971 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
974 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
976 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
977 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
979 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
981 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
982 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
985 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
987 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
988 expect a warning message from Make.
990 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
992 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
993 jobs are not supported.
995 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
997 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
999 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1001 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
1003 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1005 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
1006 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
1007 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
1009 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1011 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
1012 parallel jobs aren't supported.
1014 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1016 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
1018 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1020 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
1021 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
1022 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
1024 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
1025 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
1026 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
1027 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1029 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
1030 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
1031 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
1032 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
1033 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
1035 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
1036 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
1038 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1040 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
1041 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
1043 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1045 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
1046 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
1049 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1051 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
1052 in a target name (PR/1586).
1054 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1056 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
1057 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
1059 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1061 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
1062 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
1063 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
1065 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
1066 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
1067 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
1068 1 for other systems.
1069 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
1070 instead of hardcoding 2.
1071 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
1072 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
1074 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1076 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
1077 are really directories.
1079 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1081 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
1082 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
1085 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1087 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
1088 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
1089 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
1091 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1093 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
1094 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
1095 intermediate possibilities.
1097 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1099 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
1100 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
1101 to make sure they're handled serially.
1103 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1105 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
1106 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
1108 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
1109 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
1111 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1113 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
1114 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
1117 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1119 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
1120 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
1122 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1124 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
1125 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
1127 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1129 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
1130 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
1131 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
1132 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
1134 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1136 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
1137 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
1138 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1139 as many "sleep" commands.
1141 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1143 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1144 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1145 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1146 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1147 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1148 general, actually... where practical.
1149 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1150 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1152 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1153 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1154 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1156 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1157 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1158 happens before the command line processing).
1159 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1160 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1161 the VOS stuff here, too.
1162 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1163 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1166 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1167 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1168 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1170 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1172 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1173 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1174 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1175 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1176 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1177 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1178 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1179 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1180 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1181 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1182 time as it sees fit.
1184 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1185 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1186 to force the order we want.
1188 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1189 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1190 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1191 the environment rather than require specific versions.
