Re: Test harness on VMS, running 489 tests, 141 tests failing.
A bug in having the test harness compare_output that was supposed to compensate for VMS differences in output caused a number of tests to report success that actually failed. Running with out -keep, so do not have an exact count of logs. Current status: 136 Tests in 54 Categories Failed. Known issues so far: features/archives: fail - 3/10 pass. Ticket 41758 - VMS archive support incomplete. features/override: with patch - pass 4/4. features/parallism: fail - 3/9 pass, 1 skipped. VMS not running jobs in parallel so output in wrong order. features/recursion: fail - 1/2 pass. Looks like it is expecting environment variables to pass information to a child, and child is not getting them. features/reinvoke: fail - 4/5 pass. One run is not interpreting a macro properly. features/se_explicit: fail 9/10 pass $(addsuffix ) and $(addprefix ) expect space delimited arguments. On VMS commas are used. Not sure how that can be reconciled. features/vpath3: Skipping. Test requires .LIBPATTERNS, which does not appear to be implemented on VMS, yet the variables/LIBPATTERNS tests are passing. features/vpathgpath: fail - 0/1 pass gpaths not followed on VMS. Reason why not obvious. Still working my way triaging the other issues. Regards, -John ___ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make

In my local copy of the sources, I changed the ECHO variable defined in default.c to builtin_echo, which I implemented in vmsjobs.c as a simple wrapper for write sys$output. That way, whatever worked for VMS/DCL users with $(ECHO) will work, even with multilines. OK there are a few exceptions. If someone knew that there was a missing double quote and coded $(ECHO) hello" the old output was hello and the new output will be hello". Also, if someone wanted to use DCL symbols/lexcials and knew that $(ECHO) "+f$$time() would get the wanted result, the new code will give a %DCL-W-EXPSYN and the code has to change to $(ECHO) "+f$$time()+ to get the wanted result. I don't know of anything of a Unix environment which should be simulated, here. But obviously there is no parity. In Unix you can have a shell variable in the to be echoed text and - if defined - it will show. As I showed in the above example, it's not that intuitive/easy for VMS/DCL symbols. ___ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make

I understand that. The -keep option is the easiest way to get a count of how many tests are actually getting run.

The fix appears to work. I think your comment about it breaking the echo being defined as sys$output is wrong though. I tested it with no echo symbol and with echo as a symbol and it generates the expected output now in both cases. It seems you aren't using plain VMS, which has no echo command nor echo symbol. I'm talking about the make variable ECHO as defined for VMS in: The test works as long as echo is a foreign command because no macro substition is done. Because of a bug in my copy of the test harness, I was not seeing the errors about undefined symbols. The broken ECHO is one reason I flagged the fix "temporary". It seems, there should be a builtin_echo for VMS. Shouldn't be too hard, but I haven't looked at it. That way some old VMS makefile which make use of ECHO will continue to work. The question is, whether one would want to support DCL symbols within the to be echoed text. Another question is how much of the Unix environment should be simulated when running Gnu make from DCL?
