3 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
4 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
5 invoke foreach from it without infinitely looping.
7 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
9 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
10 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
11 intermediate possibilities.
13 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
15 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
16 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
17 to make sure they're handled serially.
19 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
21 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
22 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
24 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
25 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
27 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
29 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
30 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
33 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
35 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
36 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
38 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
40 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
41 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
43 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
45 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
46 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
47 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
48 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
50 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
52 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
53 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
54 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
55 as many "sleep" commands.
57 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
59 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
60 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
61 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
62 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
63 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
64 general, actually... where practical.
65 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
66 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
68 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
69 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
70 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
72 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
73 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
74 happens before the command line processing).
75 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
76 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
77 the VOS stuff here, too.
78 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
79 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
82 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
83 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
84 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
86 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
88 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
89 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
90 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
91 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
92 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
93 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
94 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
95 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
96 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
97 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
100 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
101 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
102 to force the order we want.
104 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
105 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
106 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
107 the environment rather than require specific versions.
109 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
110 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
111 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
112 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
113 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
115 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
117 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
