3 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
4 in a target name (PR/1586).
6 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
8 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
9 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
11 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
13 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
14 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
15 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
17 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
18 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
19 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
21 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
22 instead of hardcoding 2.
23 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
24 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
26 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
28 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
29 are really directories.
31 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
33 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
34 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
37 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
39 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
40 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
41 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
43 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
45 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
46 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
47 intermediate possibilities.
49 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
51 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
52 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
53 to make sure they're handled serially.
55 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
57 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
58 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
60 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
61 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
63 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
65 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
66 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
69 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
71 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
72 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
74 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
76 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
77 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
79 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
81 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
82 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
83 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
84 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
86 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
88 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
89 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
90 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
91 as many "sleep" commands.
93 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
95 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
96 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
97 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
98 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
99 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
100 general, actually... where practical.
101 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
102 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
104 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
105 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
106 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
108 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
109 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
110 happens before the command line processing).
111 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
112 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
113 the VOS stuff here, too.
114 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
115 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
118 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
119 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
120 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
122 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
124 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
125 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
126 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
127 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
128 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
129 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
130 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
131 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
132 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
133 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
136 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
137 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
138 to force the order we want.
140 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
141 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
142 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
143 the environment rather than require specific versions.
145 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
146 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
147 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
148 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
149 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
151 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
153 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
