1999-10-13 Paul D. Smith * 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 * scripts/features/targetvars: Add a check for PR/1378: "Target-specific vars don't inherit correctly" 1999-09-29 Paul D. Smith * 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 * 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 * 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 * 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 * scripts/features/reinvoke: Put the SHELL definition in the right test makefile. 1999-09-15 Paul D. Smith ChangeLog file for the test suite created.
