131 non-existent glob matchers return empty.
133 2009-06-09 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

142 tests containing the command that was run.
143 (get_runfile): New function.

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

210 * scripts/functions/eval: Update error message for command -> recipe.
212 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
213 if surrounded by '/'.
214 * scripts/misc/close_stdout: Use a regex for the answer, since
215 sometimes the error will have a description and sometimes it won't.
217 2007-09-10 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
219 * scripts/variables/special: Add tests for .RECIPEPREFIX variable.
221 2007-08-15 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

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

265 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
267 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple
268 initial slashes on Windows: those paths mean something different.

285 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): Set the status properly even
286 when a test fails to execute. Fixes Savannah bug #15942.
288 * scripts/functions/foreach: Use a different environment variable

302 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test a complex construction which
303 guarantees that we have to merge variable lists of different
304 sizes. Tests for Savannah bug #15757.
306 2006-02-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

383 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): If we can't get the value
384 of $(MAKE) from make, then fatal immediately.
386 2005-08-31 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
388 * run_make_tests.pl (get_this_pwd): Require the POSIX module (in
389 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
390 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the
391 previous methods. This tries to be more accurate on Windows
394 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
396 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
397 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of
400 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Don't use "test", which is

404 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

424 for all its children in some situations during parallel builds.
426 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
428 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
429 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
430 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some
431 variables are leaking out beyond the tests they are intended for.
432 Create an %extraENV hash tests can set to add more env. vars.
433 * tests/scripts/features/export: Change to use %extraENV.

449 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
451 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
453 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.
455 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

550 * scripts/options/symlinks: New file to test checking of symlink
551 timestamps. Can't use filename dash-L because it conflicts with
552 dash-l on case-insensitive filesystems.
554 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST, scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST:
555 Rename MAKEFILE_LIST test to MFILE_LIST, for systems that need 8.3

579 command scripts fails. See Savannah bug # 12124.
581 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
583 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
584 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes

587 2005-02-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
589 * scripts/features/recursion: Test command line variable settings:

617 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
619 * scripts/features/include: Test dontcare flag inheritance
620 when rebuilding makefiles.
622 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
624 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test exported variables.
626 2004-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
628 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Don't add newlines to the
629 makestring or answer if they are completely empty.
631 * scripts/features/patternrules: Rename from implicit_prereq_eval.
633 * scripts/test_template: Rework the template.
635 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
637 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
638 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
640 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
641 prerequisite evaluation code.
643 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
645 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
646 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
647 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
649 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
650 interacting with define/endef variables.
652 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
654 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
655 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
656 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
658 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
660 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
661 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
662 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
664 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
666 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
667 rather than relying on $HOME.
669 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
671 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
672 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
675 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
677 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
678 pattern rules (patch #2349).
680 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
682 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
683 whitespace--bug #5798.
685 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
687 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
689 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
690 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
692 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
694 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
695 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
698 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
700 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
701 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
703 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
705 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
706 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
707 length). Tests patch # 1022.
709 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
710 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
712 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
713 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
715 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
717 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
720 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
722 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
723 conditionals (Bug #1516).
725 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
727 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
728 with no commands (Bug #1418).
730 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
732 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
733 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
735 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
737 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
740 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
742 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
743 characters in targets and prerequisites.
745 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
747 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
748 variables in a single command.
750 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
752 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
753 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
754 double-colon targets.
756 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
758 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
761 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
762 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
764 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
765 in ifdef conditionals.
767 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
769 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
771 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
772 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
773 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
774 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
775 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
777 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
778 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
780 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
781 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
782 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
784 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
786 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
788 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
791 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
792 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
793 for now as it's not yet supported.
795 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
797 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
799 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
801 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
802 -valgrind option to the test suite.
803 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
804 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
805 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
806 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
808 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
810 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
813 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
814 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
815 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
816 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
817 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
819 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
821 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
823 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
825 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
827 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
829 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
830 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
831 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
833 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
835 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
836 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
838 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
840 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
841 directories in the script directories.
843 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
845 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
846 one of the command lines is quiet.
848 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
850 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
853 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
855 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
856 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
858 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
860 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
861 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
864 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
866 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
867 expect a warning message from Make.
869 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
871 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
872 jobs are not supported.
874 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
876 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
878 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
880 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
882 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
884 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
885 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
886 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
888 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
890 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
891 parallel jobs aren't supported.
893 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
895 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
897 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
899 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
900 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
901 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
903 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
904 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
905 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
906 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
908 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
909 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
910 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
911 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
912 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
914 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
915 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
917 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
919 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
920 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
922 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
924 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
925 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
928 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
930 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
931 in a target name (PR/1586).
933 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
935 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
936 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
938 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
940 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
941 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
942 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
944 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
945 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
946 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
948 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
949 instead of hardcoding 2.
950 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
951 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
953 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
955 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
956 are really directories.
958 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
960 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
961 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
964 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
966 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
967 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
968 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
970 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
972 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
973 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
974 intermediate possibilities.
976 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
978 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
979 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
980 to make sure they're handled serially.
982 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
984 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
985 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
987 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
988 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
990 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
992 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
993 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
996 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
998 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
999 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
1001 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1003 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
1004 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
1006 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1008 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
1009 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
1010 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
1011 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
1013 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1015 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
1016 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
1017 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1018 as many "sleep" commands.
1020 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1022 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1023 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1024 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1025 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1026 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1027 general, actually... where practical.
1028 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1029 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1031 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1032 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1033 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1035 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1036 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1037 happens before the command line processing).
1038 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1039 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1040 the VOS stuff here, too.
1041 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1042 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1045 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1046 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1047 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1049 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1051 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1052 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1053 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1054 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1055 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1056 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1057 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1058 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1059 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1060 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1061 time as it sees fit.
1063 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1064 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1065 to force the order we want.
1067 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1068 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1069 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1070 the environment rather than require specific versions.
1072 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
1073 modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
1074 (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
1075 option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
1076 (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.
1078 1999-09-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1080 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
1083 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1085 ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
