Hmm... this seems like a bug in your Fortran compiler.

By googling I found this:
 <http://130.237.222.241/list-archives/gmp-discuss/2010-November/004365.html>
with this answer:
 <http://130.237.222.241/list-archives/gmp-discuss/2010-November/004366.html>

Could it be related to the failure above?  More importantly, could you
confirm that failure is indeed due (as I suspect) to a bug in your
compiler, and not to a bug in automake or in its testsuite?

Thanks,
  Stefano

Correct so far: aclocal.m4 dependencies are modified, so the
Automake-generated Makefile re-runs aclocal, autoconf and automake ...

... but then it doesn't re-run configure!  So that the Makefile(s) are not
updated, and consequently ...

-*-*-

Now, why is configure not re-run?  Here is my (longish) tentative explanation,
step by step. In what follows, I'll use the abbraviation `TS(f)' to indicate
the timestamp (i.e. last modification time) of the file `f'.

 01. configure is run for the first time; it concludes its execution creating
     the `config.status' script and the `Makefile' and `sub/Makefile' files,
     which are all assured to be created older than configure (see code in
     sanity.m4:AM_SANITY_CHECK).

 02. Since the creations of `config.status', `Makefile' and `sub/Makefile'
     take place very near, it's quite likely they'll have the same timestamp;
     let's assume this is indeed the case:
       [E1] TS(config.status) = TS(Makefile) = TS(sub/Makefile)

 03. make is run for the first time; all is up-to-date at this point, so that
     nothing gets rebuilt -- basically a no-op;

 04. the test script modifies the aclocal dependencies `m4/somedef.m4' and
     `acinclude.m4', *without sleeping* before doing this modification (this
     lack of a `sleep' is very important; see point 7 below).

 05. make is called again right away *from the `sub' subdirectory*; it sees
     that `m4/somedef.m4' and `acinclude.m4' are newer than `sub/Makefile.in'
     (which depends on them), and it knows that `sub/Makefile' depends on
     `sub/Makefile.in'.  So a recursive make call is issued, to run the
     special target `am--refresh' *in the top-level directory*, in order to
     bring `sub/Makefile.in' up-to-date.

 06. This "recursive" make, running in the top-level directory, similarly
     sees that `m4/somedef.m4' and `acinclude.m4' are newer than `Makefile.in'
     (which depends on them), and that `Makefile' depends on `Makefile.in'.
     It also sees that `Makefile' depends on `config.status', which in turn
     depends on `configure', which in turn depends on `aclocal.m4'.

 07. At this point, make issues calls to aclocal, autoconf and automake in
     order to bring up-to-date the various files that `Makefile' depends on.
     After the autotools have run, we have:
      [E3] for each x in { Makefile.in, sub/Makefile.in, configure, aclocal.m4 }
           for each y in { config.status, sub/Makefile, Makefile, m4/somedef.m4,
                           acinclude.m4 }
           it is TS(x) >= TS(y)

 08. Now, since no explicit call to `sleep' has been issued in any of the
     preceding steps (from (2) to (7)), it's very well possible (assuming
     those steps have been executed fast enough, as would mayhap be possible
     on a fast, lighlty loaded system) that all the files updated until now
     still have the *same* timestamp of `config.status'.  Let's assume this
     is indeed the case; so we have:
       [E4] TS(Makefile.in) = TS(sub/Makefile.in) = TS(configure) =
            = TS(aclocal.m4) = TS(m4/somedef.m4) = TS(acinclude.m4) =
            = TS(config.status) = TS(Makefile) = TS(sub/Makefile).

 09. Reprising the dependency analysis of pass (6), make (in top-level
     directory) now sees that `config.status' is *not* older than `configure';
     so `config.status --recheck' (which would be responsible to re-run
     configure, and regenerate an updated `config.status') won't be called.
     Similarly, both `config.status' and `Makefile.in' are *not* older than
     `Makefile', so Makefile won't be regenerated either (it would have been
     if .`config.status --recheck' had been run).
     At this point, the work in the top-level directory is concluded.

 10. Back in the `sub' subdirectory, a similar situation arises: now
     `config.status' and `sub/Makefile.in' are fully up-to-date *for what
     concerns the timestamps*, thanks to the work done by the top-level
     Makefile; yet, they are *not* newer than `sub/Makefile' (see [E4]),
     which consequently doesn't get rebuilt.

 11. Failure ensues. D'oh!

-*-*-

Ralf, does the above explanation sounds sensible to you?  If yes, OK to
apply the attached trivial patch (to maint) to fix this failure?

Sam, have you by chance kept the content of the *.dir directories for the
failed tests?  If yes, could you please send them to me? (Notice that you
might have to send them off-list, as I'm not sure how the policy about size
and format of attachements on the automake-patches list is).  This way I
could verify whether my explanation is correct.

Thanks,
   Stefano

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

And the diagnosis for the failure of subdir5.test seems very similar.

(In fact, it would have been much simpler to start by analyzing this
failure, since it is a much simplified version of the aclocal6.test
failure; but shame on me, I just proceded in alphabetical order w.r.t.
the test names!)

What about the following squash-in for the previous patch?  It makes
more senso to fix two such similar failures at once, rather than in
two separate patches.  The resulting updated patch is attached.

Thanks, and sorry for the noise,
  Stefano

This hunk makes perfect sense to me, and is fine for maint,
but the other two do not make sense to me yet:
configure ensures that config.status is newer than itself,
thus configure must be older than any .m4 files that are
edited afterwards even without $sleep.

I've read the longish explanation of yours superficially;
if you think it addresses my concern please say so and I will
scrutinize it.

Never mind; this hunk has the same problem as the other two.
Cf. also the _long_ comment above it explaining why it should
be sufficient.

This comment would need fixing if it were wrong.

Yes, I have taken that into account.

Yes; problem is, config.status won't (necessarily) be.  And this is
what's causing the failure here.

I think it does; maybe reformulating it for subdir5.test would
make it clearer (ans surely shorter); I might do that if you are
interested (not right now, but soonish enough).

Point 07 doesn't make sense to me.  Well, it doesn't explain the actual
issue, the problem why a configure rerun is not triggered by am--refresh.
I suspect the actual issue is an autom4te caching one; because it looks
like either aclocal or autoconf (or both) concluded that their output
files wouldn't need updating for some reason.

We need to find out this reason.

Because if configure had been updated, then 'make' would have run
'config.status --recheck' which would have restored the world order
that config.status is newer than configure.

So sorry, but we're still stuck in analysis.

Cheers,
Ralf

Hi Ralf.  I want to defend and reiterate my explanation, and this
time I'll be able to back it up with some real data (thanks to Sam
for providing it so quickly!) and a new testcase.

Yeah, sorry for missing that.  By doing so I've probably lengthened
and complicated this discussion :-(

> This comment would need fixing if it were wrong.

It's not wrong per se, just misleading.

It reads:

 # We shouldn't need to $sleep here: configure ensures that files
 # generated by it are newer than configure.  Thus, even if
 # Makefile.in is newer than configure but the updated Makefile.am
 # below has the same timestamp as Makefile.in, the latter should
 # be rebuilt due to its dependency on configure.in.

Well, the point here is that, while Makefile.in *is* indeed rebuilt,
Makefile is *not* -- precisely because it depends only on config.status
and Makefile.in, and in our scenario, they've have both the same
timestamp of Makefile.

The attached testcase exposes this bug consistently and portably
(through some hops and hacks).  It might be particularly instructive
to run it with MAKE='gmake -r --debug=a', to see what rules and
dependencies are considered, and to check that the observed behaviour
is indeed consistent with the explanation/considerations given below.

-*-*-

Let's now walk through the on-field failure again (with the backup
of the content of Sam's test directories this time).  Sorry if I'm
being overly explicit and verbose below, but I want to be sure we
pinpoint the reason of this failure correctly.

... this test fails.

Now, why is configure not re-run?  Here is my  explanation, step by step.
In what follows, I'll use the abbraviation `TS(f)' to indicate the
timestamp (i.e. last modification time) of the file `f'.

 01. The autotools are run to create `aclocal.m4', `configure' and
     `Makefile.in'; on a fast machine, automake and autoconf take very
     little time to run on small input files, so that it is very likely
     that:
       [E1.1] TS(configure) = TS(Makefile.in)
     and we'll assume this is indeed the case.
     Also, aclocal is run before both automake and autoconf, so that it
     will surely be:
       [E1.2] TS(aclocal.m4) <= TS(configure)
       [E1.3] TS(aclocal.m4) <= TS(Makefile.in)

 02. `configure' is run for the first time; it creates the `config.status'
     script and the `Makefile', which are both assured to be created newer
     than configure (see code in sanity.m4:AM_SANITY_CHECK):
       [E2.1] TS(config.status) > TS(configure)
       [E2.2] TS(Makefile) > TS(configure)

 03. Since the creations of `config.status' and `Makefile' take place very
     near, it's quite likely they'll have the same timestamp; let's assume
     this is indeed the case:
       [E3] TS(config.status) = TS(Makefile)

 04. make is run for the first time; all is up-to-date at this point, so that
     nothing gets rebuilt -- basically a no-op;

 05. the test script creates `maude/Makefile.am, modifies `configure.in' by
     adding `maude/Makefile' to AC_CONFIG_FILES, and modifies `Makefile.am'
     by defining `SUBDIRS' to `maude', *without sleeping* before doing these
     modifications.  This lack of a `sleep' is very important; it means that,
     on a fast-enoough machine, `Makefile.am' and `configure.in' can still
     have the same timestamp of `config.status' and `Makefile'; let's assume
     this is the case, so we'll get:
       [E5] TS(config.status) = TS(Makefile) = TS(configure.in) =
            = TS(Makefile.am)

 06. make is called.  It has to check if `Makefile' is out-of-date, and
     in that case, to rebuild it.

 07. `configure' depends on `configure.in', by [E5] and [E2.1] we have:
       [E7.1] TS(configure) < TS(configure.in)
     so that `configure' is out-of-date; also, `config.status' depends on
     `configure', and `Makefile' depends on `config.status', so make will
     set out to rebuild `configure'.

 08. `configure' depends on `aclocal.m4', `aclocal.m4' depends on
     `configure.in', and by [E7.1] and [E1.2] we have:
       [E8.1] S(aclocal.m4) < TS(configure.in)
     so, for the same reasons explained in the previous point (7), make
     will set out to rebuild `aclocal.m4'.

 09. `Makefile.in' depends on `Makefile.am' and `configure.in', and by
      [E5], [E2.1] [E1.1] we have:
        [E9.1] TS(Makefile.in) < TS(Makefile.am) 
        [E9.2] TS(Makefile.in) < TS(configure.in) 
     so that `Makefile.in' is out-of-date; also, `Makefile' depends on it,
     so in the end make will set out to rebuild `Makefile.in'.

 10. Given (7), (8) and (9), make issues calls to aclocal, autoconf and
     automake in order to bring up-to-date the various files that `Makefile'
     depends on. After the autotools have run, we have:
      [E10] for each x in { Makefile.in, configure, aclocal.m4 }
            for each y in { config.status, Makefile }
            it is TS(x) >= TS(y)

 11. Now, since no explicit call to `sleep' has been issued in any of the
     preceding steps, it's *possible* (assuming those steps have been
     executed fast enough, as would mayhap be possible on a fast, lighlty
     loaded system) that all the files updated until now (the first set
     in [E10]) still have the same timestamp of `config.status'.  Let's
     assume this is indeed the case; so we have:
       [E11] TS(Makefile.in) = TS(configure) = TS(aclocal.m4) =
             = TS(config.status) = TS(Makefile)

 12. In virtue of [E11], make now sees that `config.status' is *not*
     older than `configure'; so `config.status --recheck' (which would
     be responsible to re-run configure, and regenerate an updated
    `config.status') won't be called.

 12. Since `Makefile' depends *only* on `Makefile.in' and `config.status',
     and these are up-to-date as per [E11] and the observation in previous
     point (12), `Makefile' won't be regenerated either (it would have been
     if `config.status --recheck' had been run).

 13. Failure ensues. D'oh!

-*-*-

Now let's see if the above analysis is backed up by facts.  If the
analysis is correct, then:
  F1) [E11] must hold, i.e. Makefile.in, configure, aclocal.m4,
      config.status and Makefile must all have the same timestamp;
  F2) `Makefile.in' has been updated, so it will contain the
      definition of SUBDIRS to `maude';
  F3) `Makefile' has *not* been updated, so it won't contain any
      SUBDIRS deifnition;
  F4) `configure' has been updated, so it will list `maude/Makefile'
      among $ac_config_files
  F5) `config.status' has *not* been updated, so it won't contain
      any mention to `maude/Makefile'.

And all this fact hold for the test directory Sam has kindly sent me:

  $ wget http://sds.podval.org/data/automake-1.11.1-dirs.tgz
  $ tar xzvf automake-1.11.1-dirs.tgz
  $ cd automake-1.11.1/tests/subdir5.dir
  ## all the relevant files must have the same timestamp, i.e., [E11] must hold
  $ stat --format='%y -- %n'  configure.in Makefile.in configure config.status Makefile

  $ grep '^SUBDIRS *=' Makefile.in
  SUBDIRS = maude
  $ grep 'maude/Makefile' configure

      "maude/Makefile") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES maude/Makefile" ;;
  ## Makefile and config.status must not reference the maude subdirs
  $ grep SUBDIRS Makefile || echo No match
  No match
  $ grep maude/Makefile config.status || echo No match
  No match

At this point I'm not anymore sure this is just a testsuite-related issue
-- it seems like a genuine bug in Automake-generated remake rules.  WDYT?

I think I've now managed to definitively confirm my explanation, this
time with the backup of real data (thanks to Sam for providing that!)
and *reproducible* testsuite exposure.

Please see the newer and more clear analysis of subdir5.test
failure in this same thread.

Sorry for the noise,
  Stefano

No.  You were right originally.  The tests do need to $sleep.
Please commit your patch with all the sleeps in it (to maint),
but please also fix the wrong comments.

My thinko was the following: given targets A -> B -> C, and A is out of
date, after make updates A, it checks the time stamp again, even iff it
knows it has decided to update A.  When that time stamp is the same as
B, it won't update B.  This sequence shows the issue with high
probability, the second 'make' often won't update B nor A again:

cat > Makefile <<EOF
A: B; touch A
B: C; touch B
C: ; touch C
EOF
rm -f A B C; make; rm -f C; make


Introducing sleeps in aclocal, autoconf, or automake would be a serious
usability issue; I need to avoid falling into that misconception of mine
again.

Thanks for being persistent.

Cheers,
Ralf

I'll have to partly disagree with myself then...  The fact is that
the remake rules are quite unpredictable in this situation, and
what's worse, they might end up leaving the tree in an inconsistent
state (Makefile.in corresponds to both Makefile.am and configure.ac,
configure corresponds to configure.ac, but config.status doens't
correspond to configure and Makefile doesn't correspond to
Makefile.in; i.e., something gets updated in spite of the too-near
timestamp modification, but something else doesn't, all subject to
a race -- nasty!).  So this can be seen like an automake bug, or
at least a "limitation".

OTOH, such a bug is veeery unlikely to happen in real life, and
basically impossible to happen when make is being run by hand by
the developer (which I think is the only legitimate use case for
remake rules).  Also, I tried to fix the issue by modifiying
`lib/am/configure.am', but I realized that doing so would require
convoluted hacks with "touch" and "ls -t"/find" -- something IMHO
not worth doing to fix such a theoretical-only issue.

In the end, I'm OK with your proposal of adding a sleep to the
failing tests, but I'd also like to add an (xfailing) testcase
to expose the issue we have dig up with big efforts.  This is
what I've done in the attached patch.  OK for maint?
