105 * scripts/functions/eval: Update error message for command -> recipe.
107 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
108 if surrounded by '/'.
109 * scripts/misc/close_stdout: Use a regex for the answer, since
110 sometimes the error will have a description and sometimes it won't.
112 2007-09-10 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

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

160 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
162 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple

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

198 guarantees that we have to merge variable lists of different
199 sizes. Tests for Savannah bug #15757.
201 2006-02-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

278 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): If we can't get the value
279 of $(MAKE) from make, then fatal immediately.
281 2005-08-31 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
283 * run_make_tests.pl (get_this_pwd): Require the POSIX module (in
284 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
285 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the
286 previous methods. This tries to be more accurate on Windows
289 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
291 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
292 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of

299 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

319 for all its children in some situations during parallel builds.
321 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
323 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
324 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
325 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some

344 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
346 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
348 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.
350 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

476 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
478 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
479 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes

615 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
617 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
618 conditionals (Bug #1516).
620 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
622 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
623 with no commands (Bug #1418).
625 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
627 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
628 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
630 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
632 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
635 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
637 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
638 characters in targets and prerequisites.
640 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
642 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
643 variables in a single command.
645 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
647 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
648 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
649 double-colon targets.
651 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
653 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
656 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
657 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
659 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
660 in ifdef conditionals.
662 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
664 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
666 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
667 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
668 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
669 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
670 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
672 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
673 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
675 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
676 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
677 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
679 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
681 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
683 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
686 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
687 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
688 for now as it's not yet supported.
690 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
692 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
694 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
696 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
697 -valgrind option to the test suite.
698 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
699 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
700 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
701 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
703 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
705 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
708 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
709 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
710 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
711 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
712 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
714 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
716 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
718 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
720 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
722 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
724 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
725 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
726 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
728 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
730 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
731 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
733 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
735 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
736 directories in the script directories.
738 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
740 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
741 one of the command lines is quiet.
743 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
745 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
748 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
750 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
751 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
753 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
755 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
756 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
759 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
761 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
762 expect a warning message from Make.
764 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
766 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
767 jobs are not supported.
769 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
771 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
773 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
775 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
777 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
779 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
780 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
781 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
783 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
785 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
786 parallel jobs aren't supported.
788 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
790 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
792 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
794 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
795 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
796 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
798 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
799 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
800 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
801 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
803 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
804 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
805 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
806 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
807 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
809 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
810 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
812 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
814 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
815 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
817 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
819 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
820 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
823 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
825 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
826 in a target name (PR/1586).
828 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
830 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
831 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
833 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
835 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
836 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
837 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
839 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
840 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
841 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
843 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
844 instead of hardcoding 2.
845 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
846 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
848 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
850 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
851 are really directories.
853 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
855 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
856 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
859 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
861 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
862 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
863 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
865 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
867 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
868 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
869 intermediate possibilities.
871 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
873 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
874 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
875 to make sure they're handled serially.
877 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
879 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
880 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
882 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
883 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
885 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
887 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
888 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
891 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
893 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
894 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
896 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
898 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
899 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
901 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
903 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
904 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
905 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
906 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
908 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
910 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
911 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
912 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
913 as many "sleep" commands.
915 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
917 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
918 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
919 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
920 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
921 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
922 general, actually... where practical.
923 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
924 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
926 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
927 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
928 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
930 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
931 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
932 happens before the command line processing).
933 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
934 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
935 the VOS stuff here, too.
936 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
937 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
940 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
941 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
942 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
944 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
946 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
947 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
948 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
949 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
950 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
951 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
952 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
953 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
954 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
955 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
958 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
959 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
960 to force the order we want.
962 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
963 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
964 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
965 the environment rather than require specific versions.
967 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
968 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
969 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
970 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
971 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
973 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
975 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
