Jim Meyering 68561594ca tests: use "Exit $fail", not (exit $fail); exit $fail
* tests/test-lib.sh (Exit): New function by Ralf Wildenhues in automake
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=20594c08f63
* tests/**: Convert all uses:

This restrictive change converted the vast majority:

  git grep -l '^(exit \$fail); exit \$fail$' \
    | xargs perl -pi -e 's/'^\(exit \$fail\); exit \$fail$/Exit \$fail/'

And this did the rest, plus a few undesirable ones, so I manually
backed out the changes to ChangeLog-* and build-aux/check.mk:

  git grep -l -E '\(exit [^)]+\); exit ' \
    | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\(exit (.+?)\); exit \1/Exit $1/'

# Up to coreutils-6.9, "printf %.Nf 0" would encounter an ENOMEM internal
# error from glibc's printf(3) function whenever N was large relative to
# the size of available memory. As of Oct 2007, that internal stream-
# related failure was not reflected (for any libc I know of) in the usual
# stream error indicator that is tested by ferror. The result was that
# while the printf command obviously failed (generated no output),
# it mistakenly exited successfully (exit status of 0).
# Testing it is tricky, because there is so much variance
# in quality for this corner of printf(3) implementations.
# Most implementations do attempt to allocate N bytes of storage.
# Using the maximum value for N (2^31-1) causes glibc-2.7 to try to
# allocate almost 2^64 bytes, while freeBSD 6.1's implementation
# correctly outputs almost 2GB worth of 0's, which takes too long.
# We want to test implementations that allocate N bytes, but without
# triggering the above extremes.
# Some other versions of glibc-2.7 have a snprintf function that segfaults
# when an internal (technically unnecessary!) memory allocation fails.
# The compromise is to limit virtual memory to something reasonable,
# and to make an N-byte-allocating-printf require more than that, thus
# triggering the printf(3) misbehavior -- which, btw, is required by ISO C99.
