124 tests containing the command that was run.
125 (get_runfile): New function.

128 allow memcheck and massif tools.
130 * scripts/features/patternrules: Have to comment out a line in the

192 * scripts/functions/eval: Update error message for command -> recipe.
194 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
195 if surrounded by '/'.
196 * scripts/misc/close_stdout: Use a regex for the answer, since
197 sometimes the error will have a description and sometimes it won't.
199 2007-09-10 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
201 * scripts/variables/special: Add tests for .RECIPEPREFIX variable.

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

247 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
249 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple
250 initial slashes on Windows: those paths mean something different.

268 when a test fails to execute. Fixes Savannah bug #15942.
270 * scripts/functions/foreach: Use a different environment variable

285 guarantees that we have to merge variable lists of different
286 sizes. Tests for Savannah bug #15757.
288 2006-02-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

365 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): If we can't get the value
366 of $(MAKE) from make, then fatal immediately.
368 2005-08-31 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
370 * run_make_tests.pl (get_this_pwd): Require the POSIX module (in
371 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
372 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the
373 previous methods. This tries to be more accurate on Windows
376 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
378 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
379 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of

386 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

406 for all its children in some situations during parallel builds.
408 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
410 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
411 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
412 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some

431 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
433 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
435 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.
437 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

536 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST, scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST:
537 Rename MAKEFILE_LIST test to MFILE_LIST, for systems that need 8.3

563 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
565 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
566 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes

617 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
619 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
620 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
622 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
623 prerequisite evaluation code.
625 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
627 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
628 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
629 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
631 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
632 interacting with define/endef variables.
634 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
636 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
637 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
638 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
640 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
642 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
643 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
644 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
646 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
648 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
649 rather than relying on $HOME.
651 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
653 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
654 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
657 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
659 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
660 pattern rules (patch #2349).
662 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
664 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
665 whitespace--bug #5798.
667 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
669 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
671 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
672 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
674 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
676 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
677 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
680 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
682 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
683 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
685 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
687 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
688 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
689 length). Tests patch # 1022.
691 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
692 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
694 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
695 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
697 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
699 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
702 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
704 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
705 conditionals (Bug #1516).
707 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
709 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
710 with no commands (Bug #1418).
712 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
714 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
715 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
717 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
719 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
722 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
724 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
725 characters in targets and prerequisites.
727 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
729 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
730 variables in a single command.
732 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
734 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
735 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
736 double-colon targets.
738 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
740 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
743 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
744 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
746 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
747 in ifdef conditionals.
749 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
751 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
753 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
754 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
755 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
756 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
757 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
759 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
760 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
762 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
763 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
764 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
766 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
768 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
770 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
773 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
774 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
775 for now as it's not yet supported.
777 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
779 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
781 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
783 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
784 -valgrind option to the test suite.
785 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
786 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
787 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
788 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
790 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
792 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
795 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
796 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
797 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
798 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
799 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
801 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
803 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
805 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
807 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
809 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
811 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
812 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
813 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
815 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
817 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
818 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
820 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
822 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
823 directories in the script directories.
825 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
827 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
828 one of the command lines is quiet.
830 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
832 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
835 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
837 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
838 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
840 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
842 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
843 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
846 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
848 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
849 expect a warning message from Make.
851 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
853 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
854 jobs are not supported.
856 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
858 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
860 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
862 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
864 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
866 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
867 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
868 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
870 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
872 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
873 parallel jobs aren't supported.
875 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
877 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
879 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
881 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
882 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
883 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
885 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
886 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
887 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
888 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
890 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
891 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
892 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
893 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
894 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
896 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
897 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
899 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
901 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
902 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
904 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
906 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
907 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
910 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
912 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
913 in a target name (PR/1586).
915 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
917 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
918 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
920 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
922 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
923 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
924 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
926 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
927 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
928 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
930 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
931 instead of hardcoding 2.
932 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
933 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
935 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
937 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
938 are really directories.
940 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
942 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
943 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
946 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
948 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
949 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
950 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
952 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
954 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
955 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
956 intermediate possibilities.
958 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
960 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
961 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
962 to make sure they're handled serially.
964 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
966 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
967 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
969 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
970 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
972 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
974 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
975 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
978 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
980 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
981 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
983 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
985 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
986 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
988 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
990 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
991 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
992 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
993 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
995 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
997 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
998 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
999 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1000 as many "sleep" commands.
1002 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1004 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1005 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1006 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1007 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1008 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1009 general, actually... where practical.
1010 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1011 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1013 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1014 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1015 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1017 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1018 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1019 happens before the command line processing).
1020 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1021 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1022 the VOS stuff here, too.
1023 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1024 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1027 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1028 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1029 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1031 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1033 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1034 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1035 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1036 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1037 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1038 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1039 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1040 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1041 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1042 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1043 time as it sees fit.
1045 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1046 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1047 to force the order we want.
1049 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1050 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1051 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1052 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1054 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1055 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1056 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1057 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1058 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1060 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1062 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
1065 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1067 ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
