327 * scripts/functions/eval: Update error message for command -> recipe.
329 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Allow the answer to be a regex,
330 if surrounded by '/'.
331 * scripts/misc/close_stdout: Use a regex for the answer, since

354 Original idea and patch for a single-test version provided by
355 Icarus Sparry <savannah@icarus.freeuk.com>
357 * test_driver.pl (_run_command): New function: this is called by
358 other functions to actually run a command. Before we run it,
359 install a SIGALRM handler and set up a timer to go off in the

382 2006-04-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
384 * scripts/functions/realpath: Don't run tests with multiple

506 an eval to trap errors) and if it exists, use POSIX::getcwd to
507 find the working directory. If it doesn't exist, go back to the
508 previous methods. This tries to be more accurate on Windows
511 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
513 * scripts/functions/abspath: Add some text to the error messages
514 to get a better idea of what's wrong. Make warnings instead of

521 2005-08-25 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

541 for all its children in some situations during parallel builds.
543 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
545 * test_driver.pl: Reset the environment to a clean value every
546 time before we invoke make. I'm suspicious that the environment
547 isn't handled the same way in Windows as it is in UNIX, and some
548 variables are leaking out beyond the tests they are intended for.
549 Create an %extraENV hash tests can set to add more env. vars.

566 to be sure it will be considered updated when it's remade.
568 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
570 * scripts/functions/shell: New test suite for the shell function.
572 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

616 * scripts/variables/DEFAULT_GOAL: Rename DEFAULT_TARGET to
619 2005-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
621 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a test for exporting recursive
622 variables containing $(shell ) calls. Rewrite this script to use
623 run_make_test() everywhere.
625 2005-04-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

646 2005-03-03 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
648 * scripts/features/se_implicit: Add a test for stem
649 termination bug. Add a test for stem triple-expansion bug.
651 * scripts/features/se_statpat: Add a test for stem
652 triple-expansion bug.
654 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Change test #4 to reflect
655 new way empty prerequisite list is handled.
658 2005-03-01 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
660 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Add a test for
663 2005-02-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
665 * scripts/options/dash-q: Add a test for Savannah bug # 7144.
667 * scripts/options/symlinks: New file to test checking of symlink
668 timestamps. Can't use filename dash-L because it conflicts with
669 dash-l on case-insensitive filesystems.
671 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST, scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST:
672 Rename MAKEFILE_LIST test to MFILE_LIST, for systems that need 8.3
675 2005-02-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
677 * scripts/variables/DEFAULT_TARGET: Test the .DEFAULT_TARGET
680 2005-02-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
682 * scripts/features/se_explicit: Test the second expansion in
684 * scripts/features/se_implicit: Test the second expansion in
686 * scripts/features/se_statpat: Test the second expansion in
687 static pattern rules.
688 * scripts/variables/automatic: Fix to work with the second
691 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test for bug #12091.
693 2005-02-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
695 * scripts/functions/eval: Check that eval of targets within
696 command scripts fails. See Savannah bug # 12124.
698 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
700 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): If a basic comparison of the
701 log and answer doesn't match, try harder: change all backslashes
702 to slashes and all CRLF to LF. This helps on DOS/Windows systems.
704 2005-02-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
706 * scripts/features/recursion: Test command line variable settings:
707 only one instance of a given variable should be provided.
709 2004-11-30 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
711 * tests/scripts/functions/abspath: New file: test `abspath'
714 * tests/scripts/functions/realpath: New file: test `realpath'
717 2004-11-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
719 * scripts/options/dash-C [WINDOWS32]: Add a test for bug #10252;
720 this doesn't really test anything useful in UNIX but...
722 * scripts/variables/SHELL: New file: test proper handling of SHELL
723 according to POSIX rules. Fixes bug #1276.
725 2004-10-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
727 * scripts/functions/word: Test $(firstword ) and $(lastword ).
729 2004-10-05 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
731 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test simple/recursive
734 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
736 * scripts/features/include: Test dontcare flag inheritance
737 when rebuilding makefiles.
739 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
741 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test exported variables.
743 2004-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
745 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Don't add newlines to the
746 makestring or answer if they are completely empty.
748 * scripts/features/patternrules: Rename from implicit_prereq_eval.
750 * scripts/test_template: Rework the template.
752 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
754 * run_make_tests.pl: Change `#!/usr/local/bin/perl' to be
755 `#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
757 * scripts/features/implicit_prereq_eval: Test implicit rule
758 prerequisite evaluation code.
760 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
762 * run_make_tests.pl (run_make_test): Enhance to allow the make
763 string to be undef: in that case it reuses the previous make
764 string. Allows multiple tests on the same makefile.
766 * scripts/variables/flavors: Add some tests for prefix characters
767 interacting with define/endef variables.
769 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
771 * scripts/functions/substitution: Rewrite to use run_make_test()
772 interface, and add test for substitution failures reported by
773 Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
775 2004-03-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
777 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test, toplevel, compare_output): Change
778 to track both the testing categories _AND_ the number of
779 individual tests, and report both sets of numbers.
781 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
783 * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
784 rather than relying on $HOME.
786 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
788 * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
789 contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated). Bug
792 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
794 * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
795 pattern rules (patch #2349).
797 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
799 * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
800 whitespace--bug #5798.
802 * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.
804 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
806 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Test multiple patterns
807 matching the same target--Bug #1405.
809 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
811 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
812 'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2. Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
815 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
817 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
818 not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.
820 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
822 * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
823 variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
824 length). Tests patch # 1022.
826 * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
827 with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).
829 * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
830 wordlist functions (bug #2407).
832 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
834 * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug
837 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
839 * scripts/functions/eval: Test using $(eval ...) inside
840 conditionals (Bug #1516).
842 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
844 * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
845 with no commands (Bug #1418).
847 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
849 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
850 target-specific vars (Bug #1391).
852 2002-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
854 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
857 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
859 * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
860 characters in targets and prerequisites.
862 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
864 * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
865 variables in a single command.
867 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
869 * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
870 target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
871 double-colon targets.
873 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
875 * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
878 * scripts/features/export: Created. Add tests for export/unexport
879 capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.
881 * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
882 in ifdef conditionals.
884 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
886 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
888 * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
889 * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
890 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
891 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
892 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
894 * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
895 Henning Makholm. This test was also contributed by Henning.
897 * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
898 features of make. First test: make sure creation subdirectories
899 as prerequisites of targets works properly.
901 * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.
903 2002-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
905 * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
908 * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
909 variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS). Comment out .TARGETS test
910 for now as it's not yet supported.
912 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
914 * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.
916 2002-07-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
918 * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind. Use
919 -valgrind option to the test suite.
920 (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
921 Valgrind output. We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
922 hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
923 this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.
925 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
927 * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
930 * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
931 file with a specific timestamp offset. Use of this function will
932 let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
933 just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
934 lot faster. So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.
936 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
938 * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.
940 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
942 * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.
944 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
946 * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
947 * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
948 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.
950 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
952 * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
953 implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.
955 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
957 * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
958 directories in the script directories.
960 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
962 * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
963 one of the command lines is quiet.
965 2000-06-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
967 * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option. Includes
970 2000-06-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
972 * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
973 semicolons in target-specific variable values.
975 2000-06-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
977 * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
978 Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
981 2000-06-17 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
983 * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
984 expect a warning message from Make.
986 2000-06-15 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
988 * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
989 jobs are not supported.
991 2000-05-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
993 * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).
995 2000-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
997 * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).
999 2000-04-08 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1001 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
1002 files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
1003 newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.
1005 2000-04-07 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1007 * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
1008 parallel jobs aren't supported.
1010 2000-04-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1012 * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.
1014 2000-03-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1016 * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
1017 whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
1018 error (instead of dumping core). Fixes PR/1670.
1020 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
1021 first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
1022 Reported by Marco Franzen <Marco.Franzen@Thyron.com>.
1023 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1025 * scripts/functions/call: Whoops. The fix to PR/1527 caused
1026 recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break. I can't come up
1027 with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
1028 the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls. This
1029 also tests the fix for PR/1610.
1031 * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
1032 in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).
1034 2000-03-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1036 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
1037 .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).
1039 2000-03-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1041 * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
1042 multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
1045 2000-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1047 * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
1048 in a target name (PR/1586).
1050 2000-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1052 * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
1053 target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).
1055 2000-02-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1057 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
1058 to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
1059 Reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>.
1061 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
1062 depending on the OS. Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> reports
1063 this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2. Keep it
1064 1 for other systems.
1065 * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
1066 instead of hardcoding 2.
1067 * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
1068 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
1070 2000-01-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1072 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
1073 are really directories.
1075 2000-01-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1077 * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
1078 problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
1081 2000-01-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1083 * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
1084 sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
1085 invoke foreach from it without looping forever.
1087 1999-12-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1089 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
1090 .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
1091 intermediate possibilities.
1093 1999-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1095 * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
1096 double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
1097 to make sure they're handled serially.
1099 1999-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1101 * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
1102 after an if-statement to make sure it works.
1104 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
1105 in target-specific variable definitions correctly.
1107 1999-10-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1109 * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
1110 test anything at all, really. Rewrote it, plus added a test for
1113 1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1115 * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
1116 behave properly when used with recursive targets".
1118 1999-10-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1120 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
1121 "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"
1123 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1125 * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
1126 $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
1127 (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
1128 $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.
1130 1999-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1132 * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
1133 jobserver works when we re-invoke. Also cleaned up the tests a
1134 little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
1135 as many "sleep" commands.
1137 1999-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1139 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
1140 makefiles. See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
1141 Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
1142 exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time. We don't want
1143 this. This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
1144 general, actually... where practical.
1145 * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
1146 * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
1148 * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
1149 .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS. So, for non-DOS systems I
1150 changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.
1152 * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
1153 make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
1154 happens before the command line processing).
1155 Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
1156 specify what kind of system we're running on. We should integrate
1157 the VOS stuff here, too.
1158 (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
1159 won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
1162 * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
1163 * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
1164 * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.
1166 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1168 * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function. Previously it
1169 used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
1170 local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
1171 This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
1172 on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
1173 the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
1174 time based on the _server's_ clock. Hard-setting it based on the
1175 _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
1176 unreliable except on local filesystems. The new function will
1177 simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
1178 time as it sees fit.
1180 * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
1181 change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
1182 to force the order we want.
1184 * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
1185 means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing. This worked
1186 in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
1187 the environment rather than require specific versions.
