2004-02-21  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/origin: Set our own environment variable
        rather than relying on $HOME.

2004-01-21  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/conditionals: Test arguments to ifn?def which
        contain whitespace (such as a function that is evaluated).  Bug
        #7257.

2004-01-07  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/order_only: Test order-only prerequisites in
        pattern rules (patch #2349).

2003-11-02  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/if: Test if on conditionals with trailing
        whitespace--bug #5798.

        * scripts/functions/eval: Test eval in a non-file context--bug #6195.

2003-04-19  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        matching the same target--Bug #1405.

2003-04-09  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): A new $port_type of
        'OS/2' for (surprise!) OS/2.  Also choose a wait time of 2 seconds
        for OS/2.

2003-03-28  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Test the "global" .SECONDARY (with
        not prerequisites)--Bug #2515.

2003-01-30  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/targetvars: Test very long target-specific
        variable definition lines (longer than the default make buffer
        length).  Tests patch # 1022.

        * scripts/functions/eval: Test very recursive $(eval ...) calls
        with simple variable expansion (bug #2238).

        * scripts/functions/word: Test error handling for word and
        wordlist functions (bug #2407).

2003-01-22  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/call: Test recursive argument masking (bug

        * scripts/options/dash-t: Add a test for handling -t on targets
        with no commands (Bug #1418).

2002-10-13  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for exporting
        target-specific vars (Bug #1391).

2002-10-05  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/variables/automatic: Add tests for $$(@), $${@}, $${@D},
        and $${@F}.

2002-09-23  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/escape: Test handling of escaped comment
        characters in targets and prerequisites.

2002-09-18  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport of multiple
        variables in a single command.

2002-09-17  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/targetvars: Tests for Bug #940: test
        target-specific and pattern-specific variables in conjunction with
        double-colon targets.

2002-09-10  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * test_driver.pl (compare_output): Match the new format for time
        skew error messages.

        * scripts/features/export: Created.  Add tests for export/unexport
        capabilities, including exporting/unexporting expanded variables.

        * scripts/features/conditionals: Add a test for expanded variables
        in ifdef conditionals.

2002-09-04  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/reinvoke: Change touch/sleep combos to utouch
        invocations.
        * scripts/features/vpathgpath: Ditto.
        * scripts/features/vpathplus: Ditto.
        * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.
        * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.
        * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.

        * scripts/options/dash-t: Added a test for the -t bug fixed by
        Henning Makholm.  This test was also contributed by Henning.

        * scripts/misc/general4: Add a test suite for obscure algorithmic
        features of make.  First test: make sure creation subdirectories
        as prerequisites of targets works properly.

        * scripts/misc/version: Remove this bogus test.

2002-08-07  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/misc/general3: Add a test for makefiles that don't end
        in newlines.

        * scripts/variables/special: Create tests for the special
        variables (.VARIABLES and .TARGETS).  Comment out .TARGETS test
        for now as it's not yet supported.

2002-08-01  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/options/dash-B: Add a test for the new -B option.

2002-07-11  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * run_make_tests.pl (valid_option): Add support for Valgrind
        <http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/>.  Use -valgrind option to the
        test suite.
        (set_more_defaults): Set up the file descriptor to capture
        Valgrind output.  We have to unset its close-on-exec flag; we
        hardcode the value for F_SETFD (2) rather than load it; hopefully
        this will help us avoid breaking the Windows/DOS test suite.

2002-07-10  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/variables/automatic: Add some tests for $$@, $$(@D), and
        $$(@F).

        * test_driver.pl (utouch): Create a new function that creates a
        file with a specific timestamp offset.  Use of this function will
        let us avoid lots of annoying sleep() invocations in the tests
        just to get proper timestamping, which will make the tests run a
        lot faster.  So far it's only used in the automatic test suite.

2002-07-09  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/variables/automatic: Create a test for automatic variables.

2002-07-08  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/order_only: Test new order-only prerequisites.

2002-07-07  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/eval: Test new function.
        * scripts/functions/value: Test new function.
        * scripts/variables/MAKEFILE_LIST: Test new variable.

2002-04-28  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/call: New test: transitive closure
        implementation using $(call ...) to test variable recursion.

2002-04-21  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * test_driver.pl (compare_dir_tree): Ignore CVS and RCS
        directories in the script directories.

2001-05-02  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/variables/flavors: Test define/endef scripts where only
        one of the command lines is quiet.

2000-06-22  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/options/dash-q: New file; test the -q option.  Includes
        a test for PR/1780.

2000-06-21  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/targetvars: Added a test for PR/1709: allowing
        semicolons in target-specific variable values.

2000-06-19  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/addsuffix: Test for an empty final argument.
        Actually this bug might have happened for any function, but this
        one was handy.

2000-06-17  Eli Zaretskii  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/options/general: If parallel jobs are not supported,
        expect a warning message from Make.

2000-06-15  Eli Zaretskii  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/options/general: Don't try -jN with N != 1 if parallel
        jobs are not supported.

2000-05-24  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/options/general: Test general option processing (PR/1716).

2000-04-11  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/strip: Test empty value to strip (PR/1689).

2000-04-08  Eli Zaretskii  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/reinvoke: Sleep before updating the target
        files in the first test, to ensure its time stamp really gets
        newer; otherwise Make might re-exec more than once.

2000-04-07  Eli Zaretskii  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/double_colon: Don't run the parallel tests if
        parallel jobs aren't supported.

2000-04-04  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/word: wordlist doesn't swap arguments anymore.

2000-03-27  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/statipattrules: Test that static pattern rules
        whose prerequisite patterns resolve to empty strings throw an
        error (instead of dumping core).  Fixes PR/1670.

        * scripts/features/reinvoke: Make more robust by touching "b"
        first, to ensure it's not newer than "a".
        Reported by Marco Franzen <[email protected]>.
        * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.

        * scripts/functions/call: Whoops.  The fix to PR/1527 caused
        recursive invocations of $(call ...) to break.  I can't come up
        with any way to get both working at the same time, so I backed out
        the fix to 1527 and added a test case for recursive calls.  This
        also tests the fix for PR/1610.

        * scripts/features/double_colon: Test that circular dependencies
        in double-colon rule sets are detected correctly (PR/1671).

2000-03-26  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Test that make doesn't remove
        .INTERMEDIATE files when given on the command line (PR/1669).

2000-03-08  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/options/dash-k: Add a test for error detection by
        multiple targets depending on the same prerequisite with -k.
        For PR/1634.

2000-02-07  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/escape: Add a test for backslash-escaped spaces
        in a target name (PR/1586).

2000-02-04  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/patspecific_vars: Add a test for pattern-specific
        target variables inherited from the parent target (PR/1407).

2000-02-02  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Hard-code the LANG to C
        to make sure sorting order, etc. is predictable.
        Reported by Andreas Jaeger <[email protected]>.

        * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Set the $wtime variable
        depending on the OS.  Eli Zaretskii <[email protected]> reports
        this seems to need to be *4* on DOS/Windows, not just 2.  Keep it
        1 for other systems.
        * scripts/features/vpathplus (touchfiles): Use the $wtime value
        instead of hardcoding 2.
        * scripts/targets/SECONDARY: Ditto.
        * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Ditto.

2000-01-27  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * test_driver.pl (toplevel): Don't try to run test scripts which
        are really directories.

2000-01-23  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/include: Remove a check; the fix caused more
        problems than the error, so I removed it and removed the test for
        it.

2000-01-11  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/call: Add a test for PR/1517 and PR/1527: make
        sure $(call ...) doesn't eval its arguments and that you can
        invoke foreach from it without looping forever.

1999-12-15  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Add a test for PR/1423: make sure
        .INTERMEDIATE settings on files don't disable them as implicit
        intermediate possibilities.

1999-12-01  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/double_colon: Add a test for PR/1476: Try
        double-colon rules as non-goal targets and during parallel builds
        to make sure they're handled serially.

1999-11-17  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/functions/if: Add a test for PR/1429: put some text
        after an if-statement to make sure it works.

        * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a test for PR/1380: handling +=
        in target-specific variable definitions correctly.

1999-10-15  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: This was really broken: it didn't
        test anything at all, really.  Rewrote it, plus added a test for
        PR/1394.

1999-10-13  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/options/dash-n: Add a test for PR/1379: "-n doesn't
        behave properly when used with recursive targets".

1999-10-08  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378:
        "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly"

1999-09-29  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * test_driver.pl (get_osname): Change $fancy_file_names to
        $short_filenames and reverse the logic.
        (run_each_test): Change test of non-existent $port_host to use
        $short_filenames--problem reported by Eli Zaretskii.

1999-09-23  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/parallelism: Add a check to ensure that the
        jobserver works when we re-invoke.  Also cleaned up the tests a
        little, reducing the number of rules we use so the test won't need
        as many "sleep" commands.

1999-09-16  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/reinvoke: Remove invocations of "touch" in
        makefiles.  See the comments on the touch function rewrite below.
        Note that UNIX touch behaves the same way if the file already
        exists: it sets the time to the _local_ time.  We don't want
        this.  This is probably a good tip for makefile writers in
        general, actually... where practical.
        * scripts/options/dash-l: Ditto.
        * scripts/options/dash-n: Ditto.

        * test_driver.pl (run_each_test): In retrospect, I don't like the
        .lN/.bN/.dN postfix required by DOS.  So, for non-DOS systems I
        changed it back to use .log, .base, and .diff.

        * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Move the check for the
        make pathname to here from set_defaults (that's too early since it
        happens before the command line processing).
        Create a new variable $port_type, calculated from $osname, to
        specify what kind of system we're running on.  We should integrate
        the VOS stuff here, too.
        (valid_option): Comment out the workdir/-work stuff so people
        won't be fooled into thinking it works... someone needs to fix
        this, though!

        * scripts/functions/origin: Use $port_type instead of $osname.
        * scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto.
        * scripts/features/default_names: Ditto.

1999-09-15  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        * test_driver.pl (touch): Rewrite this function.  Previously it
        used to use utime() to hard-set the time based on the current
        local clock, or, if the file didn't exist, it merely created it.
        This mirrors exactly what real UNIX touch does, but it fails badly
        on networked filesystems where the FS server clock is skewed from
        the local clock: normally modifying a file causes it to get a mod
        time based on the _server's_ clock.  Hard-setting it based on the
        _local_ clock causes gratuitous errors and makes the tests
        unreliable except on local filesystems.  The new function will
        simply modify the file, allowing the filesystem to set the mod
        time as it sees fit.

        * scripts/features/parallelism: The second test output could
        change depending on how fast some scripts completed; use "sleep"
        to force the order we want.

        * test_driver.pl (toplevel): A bug in Perl 5.000 to Perl 5.004
        means that "%ENV = ();" doesn't do the right thing.  This worked
        in Perl 4 and was fixed in Perl 5.004_01, but use a loop to delete
        the environment rather than require specific versions.

        * run_make_tests.pl (set_more_defaults): Don't use Perl 5 s///
        modifier "s", so the tests will run with Perl 4.
        (set_more_defaults): Set $pure_log to empty if there's no -logfile
        option in PURIFYOPTIONS.
        (setup_for_test): Don't remove any logs unless $pure_log is set.

1999-09-15  Eli Zaretskii  <[email protected]>

        * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right
        test makefile.

1999-09-15  Paul D. Smith  <[email protected]>

        ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
