| |
| * 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. |
| |

| |
| * 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 <psmith@gnu.org> |
| |
| * 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. |
| |

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