* TAP driver: remove perl implementation (move it into contrib/)Stefano Lattarini2013-12-241-0/+563
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | That implementation was only meant as a standard against which the portable awk+shell implementation was to be measured. Now, since Automake 1.12, the latter implementation is fully functional and already used in the wild, and in fact feature-par with the perl implementation. So the perl implementation is now just slowing down and complicating our testsuite. Let's move it to 'contrib/' (we don't want to remove it, in case someone is actually using it in the wild). * lib/tap-driver.pl: Move it ... * contrib/tap-driver.pl: ... here. While at it, convert quoting `like this' to quoting 'like this', and remove an obsolescent FIXME comment. * lib/Makefile.inc (dist_script_DATA): Drop '%D%/tap-driver.pl'. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add 'contrib/tap-driver.pl'. * doc/automake.texi: Remove one stray reference to 'tap-driver.pl', and reference 'tap-driver.sh' instead, as intended. * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh ($am_tap_implementation): Delete definition and uses. (fetch_tap_driver): Simplify to unconditionally assume the shell+awk implementation of the TAP driver is used. (get_shell_script): Make more flexible so that it can cater to the needs of 'fetch_tap_driver()'. * t/tap-bad-prog.tap: Likewise. * t/tap-bailout-leading-space.sh: Likewise. * t/tap-signal.tap: Likewise. * t/tap-test-number-0.sh: Likewise. * t/test-driver-cond.sh: Use 'tap-driver.sh' instead of 'tap-driver.pl'. * gen-testsuite-part (%test_generators): Do not generate sister tests that use the perl TAP driver rather than the shell+awk one. * NEWS: Update.

| * tests: better idiom to override make macro defs on the cmdlineStefano Lattarini2013-05-221-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now do so with a new wrapper shell function 'run_make()', which relies on the use of AM_MAKEFLAGS, avoiding the use of the '-e' make option. The use of that option (that causes the environment variables to take precedence over the macro definitions in the Makefile) has proved to be quite brittle in the past, causing annoying and sometimes problematic spurious failures. This has worsened in some still unpublished work going on in development branches. It's time to solve the issue once and for all. Note that we do not convert all uses of $MAKE in the testsuite right away; we might do so in follow-up changes, with leisure, to avoid a "patch bomb" effect (this commit is already too much of a bomb itself). What we do in this commit is to get rid of all "$MAKE -e" invocations. We admit that the implementation and feature-set of 'run_make()' are far from perfect, but good enough for our current purposes. We'll improve 'run_make()' if and when the need arises. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_no_make_e): New syntax check, guard against the use of "$MAKE -e". (syntax_check_rules): Add it. (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): Adjust. (lint): New, alias for 'maintainer-check', for lazy typists. Idea backported from the 'maint' branch (Automake 1.13a). * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (run_make): New function. Run $MAKE with the given command-line arguments, handling command-line override of variable definitions in a smart way (using AM_MAKEFLAGS if a non-GNU make implementation is detected to be in use). (useless_vpath_rebuild): Adjust to use 'run_make', to avoid a spurious maintainer check failure. (yl_distcheck): Use 'run_make' rather than bare '$MAKE'. (single_quote, append_single_quoted, is_valid_varname): New auxiliary function, used, directly or indirectly, by it. * Many tests: Adjust to avoid the use of "$MAKE -e", and prefer the use of 'run_make' in few other contexts as well, where it makes sense. Other minor fixlets while at it. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
* | build: break up monolithic Makefile.am in subdir-specific fragmentsStefano Lattarini2013-05-092-25/+26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is convenient to do, now that we have improved "relative directory" support with the '%reladir%' (a.k.a. '%D%') and '%canon_reladir%' (a.k.a. '%C%') Automake-time substitutions for included makefile fragments. This move also satisfy our philosophy of using new Automake features in our own build system, as a way of facilitating early discovery of possible bugs or interface warts. * Makefile.am: Break up ... * doc/Makefile.inc, lib/Automake/Makefile.inc, lib/Makefile.inc, lib/am/Makefile.inc, m4/Makefile.inc, t/Makefile.inc): ... in this new included fragments. Adjust as needed, and make deliberate use of the '%D%' substitution. * contrib/t/local.am: Rename ... * contrib/t/Makefile.inc: ... like this.

* tests: prefer including 'test-init.sh' rather than './defs'Stefano Lattarini2012-10-274-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a follow-up to today's commit v1.12.4-22-g0610fc8, "tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh" * All tests: To run the common setup, use the command: . test-init.sh instead of the older, "historical" one: . ./defs || exit 1 Note that the "|| exit 1" wasn't really useful, since the 'errexit' shell flag is in effect in both './defs' and 'test-init.sh', and all the known shells that are good enough to run the automake testsuite do automatically exit with error when a sourced file cannot be found (at least, they do so in non-interactive mode, which is the only mode that concerns us in the testsuite). * t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise. * gen-testsuite-part: Do the same in the generated tests.

* maint: remove most recursion in automake's own build systemStefano Lattarini2012-04-051-27/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recursive make-based build systems tend to be slower, more fragile and less faithful than "flat" ones. See Peter Miller's article "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" for more a more in-depth discussion: <http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/> While in the case of automake this isn't a big problem (given the small size of its build systems), it still creates occasional glitches and annoyances. With this change, the use of recursion in Automake's own build system is eliminated *but for the testsuite*. Converting that is a little more tricky, and better left for a later change (or series of changes). See also commit v1.11-769-gfeeb7f6 of 28-03-2012. * contrib/Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, m4/Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Removed, their content merged ... * Makefile.am: ... here, with required adjustments and few other "opportunistic" changes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of 2012-01-17, according to Google codesarch, almost no active package is using the 'multilib' feature offered by automake. The only major exception seems to be GCC... But on a closer look, it become clear that GCC basically carries its own version of multilib support. In fact, Automake syncs its 'config-ml.in' and 'symlink-tree' scripts from GCC; and the GCC repository contains a version of the 'multi.m4' file that is *more* updated than the one in the automake repository (the former having being modified the last time in 2008, the latter only in 2006). The 'multilib' feature was anyway hardly documented at all, only being briefly cited in the manual as an "obscure feature", "still experimental", that was only for users "familiar with multilibs" and which "can debug problems they might encounter". We expect such users to be motivated and knowledgeable enough to make the minor adjustments required to start using the contrib version of multilib, if they really need to. * NEWS (Future backward incompatibility): Update. * doc/automake.texi: Deprecate multilib support. State that it will be removed from automake core in the next major release. * m4/multi.m4 (AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB): Deprecate. If called, now gives a proper warning in the 'obsolete' category (while still retaining its former behaviour for the rest). * tests/multilib.test: Update. * contrib/multilib/multi.m4: New, verbatim copy of the earlier version of multi.m4, without the new deprecation warning. * Makefile.am (fetch): Don't sync the 'config-ml.in' file nor the 'symlink-tree' script from GCC SVN repository anymore. (FETCHFILES): Adjust. (WGET_GCC): Remove, it's not needed anymore.
