* py-compile: fix optimized compiling for Python 3.5+Mike Frysinger2022-02-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/38043. Split the optimized compilation logic into a new section. This avoids trying to support multiple versions of major versions in a single script as it gets harder to verify new changes don't break old versions as time goes on. Now for Python 3.5+, compile with -O0 (which is "higher" than -O). * NEWS: Mention fix. * THANKS: Add Michal Górny. * lib/py-compile: Add new section for compiling Python 3.5+.
* tests: do not assume AM_MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS is used in non-html targetsMathieu Lirzin2022-02-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/30172. Since AM_MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS overrides AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS only for html targets, make sure we restore the hacked up makefile before testing the non-html formats. This normally doesn't cause a problem for most people, but if their tex install doesn't work correctly, texi2dvi will fallback to running $MAKEINFO and using invalid flags in the process. * THANKS: Add Mathieu Lirzin. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats.sh: Restore Makefile.am after testing html targets. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats-vpath.sh: Likewise.

* | deps: 'subdir-object' option now works when foo_SOURCES contains $(var)Stefano Lattarini2015-01-061-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following a suggestions of Johan Kristensen, we have config.status use 'make' invocations rather than Makefile-parsing 'sed' hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. To handle the inclusion of such files that are still missing when make is first we basically generate a temporary Makefile without these includes, and call 'make' on that Makefile. This fixes the serious bug bug#13928, which was an hard blocker to make the behavior mandated by the 'subdir-object' active by default (which we want to do in Automake 2.0). The issue has also been reported in bug#15919. * NEWS, THANKS: Update. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Add a trailing "marking" comment ("# am--include-marker") to the generated Makefile lines issuing 'include' directives for the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. Also rename the generated Makefile variable 'am__depfiles_maybe' to the clearer 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles'. Minor unrelated refactoring. * lib/am/configure.am: Adjust to account for the 'am__depfiles_maybe' -> 'am__maybe_remake_depfiles' renaming. * lib/am/depend.am: Add rules to generate a dummy version of all the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. * m4/depout.m4: Use make invocations rather than Makefile-parsing sed hacks to bootstrap the dependency-tracking '.Po' and '.Plo' makefile fragments. We still use some sed trickery in order to remove the inclusion of the still non existing .Po and .Plo files from the Makefile we invoke make upon; this is done stripping lines that contain the magic string "# am--include-marker". * m4/make.m4 (AM_MAKE_INCLUDE): Given that now automake generates Makefiles containing include statements with trailing comment, adjust the checks done here to make sure $MAKE support that; e.g., "include foo.mk # comment" rather than just "include foo.mk". Also refactor and adjust to leave better debugging info in config.log. * t/postproc.sh: Rename ... * t/depend-postproc.sh: ... to this, and adjust and enhance. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust. (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh', which is now succeeding. * t/subobj-indir-pr13928.sh: Simplify slightly, now that we expect it to pass. * t/depcomp8a.sh: Adjust grepping check to account for the changes in the generated Makefile, and tp be somewhat more robust in light of possible future modifications. * t/depcomp8b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11b.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj11c.sh: Likewise. * t/extra-sources.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-grep.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-depend-cxx.sh: Add a command to help debugging in case of test failure.

An important example of this are *generated* makefile fragments included at Automake time in Makefile.am. A basic example: # -*- Makefile.am -*- $(srcdir)/fragment.am: $(srcdir)/data.txt $(srcdir)/preproc.sh cd $(srcdir) && $(SHELL) preproc.sh <data.txt >fragment.am include $(srcdir)/fragment.am ... If the use forgot to add data.txt and/or preproc.sh in the distribution tarball, "make distcheck" would have erroneously succeeded! The reason is that, while $(srcdir)/data.txt does not exist, make also looks in $(srcdir)/$(srcdir)/data.txt, and in the distcheck-issued VPATH build where $(srcdir) is '..', that file exists, as it is part of the original development directory. * t/distdir.am (distcheck): Adjust to have the build directory be '$(distdir)/_build/sub' rather than just '$(distdir)/_build'. Thanks Nicola Fontana for the suggestion. * t/distcheck-pr18286.sh: Enhance and tighten a little. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove 't/distcheck-pr18286.sh', as it's now passing. * t/subdir-am-cond.sh: Adjust to avoid a fully spurious failure due to the new distcheck semantics. * t/subdir-ac-subst.sh: Likewise. * t/dejagnu-relative-srcdir.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo-builddir.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update.

I thought that the sleeps implicit in the configure invocation were enough, but they were not, actually. Here is what can happen: 1. The config.status script is generated by a configure run. 2. ./config.status and make are run. 3. The 'print-version' script is modified. 4. Since that script is listed in $(CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES), autoconf is re-run. 5. On a fast-enough machine, the three steps 2-4 above, even combined, might have taken less than a second to run; 6. If the filesystem doesn't have a sub-second timestamp resolution, that means the newly-generated configure has the same timestamp of the old config.status; 7. So, config.status is not re-run, and the Makefiles are not updated. 8. Spurious failure! So we really need more explicit sleeps. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

'--keep-going' option, and thus whether a failure in a subdirectory should prevent the descent in the following ones: fail= failcom='exit 1'; \ for f in x $$MAKEFLAGS; do \ case $$f in \ *=* | --[!k]*);; \ *k*) failcom='fail=yes';; \ esac; \ done It's clear that the second pattern in the 'case' construct can possibly match false positives, for examples in these two cases: make check TESTS="x.test k.test" make -I /usr/local/kool-fragments which are somewhat unusual, but not invalid. So we need a more resilient implementation, as we did for the detection of the '-n' flag. But alas, such an implementation seems quite tricky to obtain in portable make. So for the moment we content ourselves with exposing the bug, with the hope of being able to fix soon enough. * t/subdir-keep-going-pr12554.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Add it. * THANKS: Update Reported-by: Michael Daniels <mdaniels@rim.com> Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See automake bug#8343 and bug#13588. POSIX 1988 'ustar' format is defined with *fixed-size* fields. There is notably a 21 bits limit (2097151) for the UID and the GID. Tom Rini tom_rini@mentor.com says (in bug#8343): When the user has a UID or GID that is larger than the ustar format supports, pax does not error out gracefully in some cases (FC13). Marc Herbert <marc.herbert@intel.com> adds (in bug#8343): When "configure" is run by a user with an UID bigger than 21 bits, BSD pax 3.4 aborts when trying to create the 'conftest.tar' test archive and leaves an empty or corrupted conftest.tar file behind. In the next step, pax tries to extract this incomplete or corrupted archive and this *** hangs the whole ./configure script ***. Note: GNU cpio 2.9 pretends to pass the test but it is a LIE: it silently truncates any big UID to its lower 21 bits. I don't know what can be the consequences of this lie. I think there is currently a design issue in automake/m4/tar.m4 considering that a ustar archive should should *never* succeed when ./configure is run from a big user ID. Months later, Petr Hracek <phracek@redhat.com> reports a similar issue (in bug#13588) for Fedora 17: I am trying to solve problem in case a user is created with big UID and during configuration pax hangs with message ATTENTION! pax archive volume change required. Ready for archive volume: 1 Input archive name or "." to quit pax. Archive name > and needs user interaction. Reference: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843376> Time to fix this issue, on the line of a preliminary patch provided by Petr Hracek in bug#13588. The final patch ended up being remarkably different from that original proposition, though. * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): If the UID or GID of the current user is too high (> 2097151), the 'ustar' format cannot work. Adjust checks accordingly. Some related code reordering and clean-up. * t/tar-ustar-id-too-high.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * t/tar.sh: While at it, tweak and enhance a little. * t/tar2.sh: Likewise. * t/tar3.sh: Likewise. * t/tar-override.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update. * THANKS: Likewise.
