each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
Dump information on the first run of each test.
(AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
test group.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
does not like `' instead of [].
(AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
And don't output such tokens.
* tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
`script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.

Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
files.

2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

(&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
compare its timestamp with that of the output.
* bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).

Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
