Avoid cross-contamination between test files by creating a new
working directory for each file, and setting it as the current
directory before starting the tests in that file.
Rename the test output as tNNN.{base,log,diff,mk} where NNN is
a test number starting with 001 for the first test. It is
slightly more annoying to find diff files since you can't use
autocomplete directly but it is simpler to match things.
Detect the source directory as the location of the test_driver.pl
script, so remove the separate -srcdir option.
* Makefile.am: Remove hacks to create symlinks when building
out-of-tree, and remove -srcdir option from run_make_tests.
* tests/test_driver.pl: Locate $srcpath based on __FILE__, then
compute $toppath as its parent. Set $scriptpath under $srcpath
and $workpath under the current directory. Toss $*_filename
and modify get_logfile() etc. to use the suffix directly. Add
a chdir() around the invocation of the test.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Throw out the -srcdir option and use
$srcpath set in test_driver.pl. The #WORK# helper is no longer
useful so remove it. Set #PWD# to the current working dir. Always
search the local directory and $srcpath for config-flags.pm.
Use $srcpath for finding the thelp.pl script.
* tests/scripts/features/vpath: Don't put things in work/ as it
is no longer a subdirectory.
* tests/scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/misc/general1: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/misc/general2: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/options/dash-k: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/options/symlinks: Use $testpath as the working
directory.
* tests/scripts/variables/GNUMAKEFLAGS: Use the test helper to
display env var values (grepping for GNUMAKEFLAGS finds extra things
now that it is our current working directory).
The GNU platform testers reported a number of test errors on
different systems; try to address them.
* tests/thelp.pl: A number of tests timed out with a 4-second
timeout. Increase the default timeout to 10 seconds.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Executing directories on cygwin behaves
differently in Perl than make so skip these tests there.
* tests/scripts/options/symlinks: Check for the symlink feature
in make, rather than whether the system supports them.
* tests/scripts/features/implicit_search: On some systems "false"
exits with a different exit code. Use the helper instead.
* tests/scripts/features/loadapi: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/features/output-sync: Sleep before make -f bar in
the first test as well as the second one.
* tests/scripts/features/exec: Skip on cygwin, which seems to
be "UNIX" but where scripts don't run normally.
* tests/scripts/misc/fopen-fail: Skip on cygwin, where make
eventually exits with exit code 0 and no error messages.
Go through both run_make_tests.pl and test_driver.pl and slightly
modernize the Perl and clean up indentation etc. Fix a number of
warnings in the test scripts detected by running with -w.
* tests/test_driver.pl: Move make error string detection out of the
base test driver.
(run_all_tests): Ensure that we always look for tests in the cwd.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Use File::Spec for path manipulations.
Correctly use setlocale() when detecting error strings.
Get configuration from the config-flags.pm file not config.status.
* tests/scripts/features/archives: Use new $cwddir variable.
* tests/scripts/features/reinvoke: Add missing semicolon.
* tests/scripts/features/vpath2: Avoid non-existent variable.
* tests/scripts/functions/foreach: Escape variables.
* tests/scripts/misc/bs-nl: Remove non-existing \v escape sequence.
* tests/scripts/misc/general4: Use handy create_file().
* tests/scripts/options/dash-C: Use Cwd/$cwddir.
* tests/scripts/options/dash-I: Use subst_make_string() and #PWD#.
* tests/scripts/options/symlinks: Use File::Spec.
* tests/scripts/targets/DEFAULT: Use create_file and run_make_test.
* tests/scripts/variables/CURDIR: Use run_make_test.
* tests/scripts/variables/automatic: Remove extraneous "\".
* tests/scripts/vms/library: Remove extra "my" and extraneous "\".
Revert a fix for $? including non-existent files as it shows a bug
in the Linux kernel build. Give them a release to fix this.
Add some changes from Eli Z. for Windows changes.
* New function: $(info ...)
* Disallow $(eval ...) to create prereq relationships inside command scripts
(caused core dumps)
* Try to allow more tests to succeed in Windows/DOS by sanitizing CRLF and \
* Various bug fixes and code cleanups (see the ChangeLog entry)
