| |
| getopt: remove hack for special handling of "-" argument |
| |
| Older versions of Getopt::Long acted bogusly and died when they |
| where configured with the 'bundling' flag and an argument '-' was |
| seen on the command line they were parsing. That is no longer |
| the case though, and has not been for quite a long time: the bug |
| is no longer present in the 5.6.2 version of perl and the 2.25 |
| version of Getopt::Long (and today, the latest versions of perl |
| and Getopt::Long are respectively 5.14.2 and 2.38). The obsolete |
| workaround for that Getopt::Long bug can thus be removed from our |
| 'getopt' function. |
| |
| It is also worth noting that such a workaround was quite buggy |
| and brittle itself; for example, a command like this: |
| "autom4te --output -" |
| would have caused the incorrect diagnostic: |
| "autom4te: option `--output' requires an argument" |
| Much worse, a command like this: |
| "autom4te --language=autoconf --output - configure.ac" |
| would have caused the standard input of autom4te to be processed |
| and copied into the 'configure.ac' file, deleting its pre-existing |
| content! Surely not what a user would have expected. |
| |
| After this change, a command like this: |
| autom4te --language=autoconf --output - - <configure.ac >out |
| works as expected, processing the input from 'configure.ac' and |
| writing it to the 'out' file. |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (use): Require perl version 5.6.2. |
| (getopt): Remove the old workaround. |
| |
| 2012-01-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> |
| |
| avoid new warning about undefined $ARGV[0] |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Avoid warning induced by |
| yesterday's change: $ARGV[0] may not be defined, e.g., when |
| invoked via autoreconf. |
| |
| 2011-01-14 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> |
| |
| getopt: fix diagnostic for missing mandatory option argument |
| Before this change, an incorrect command line usage: |
| "autom4te --output" |
| triggered broken diagnostic like: |
| "autom4te: unrecognized option `--output'" |
| instead of the expected and correct: |
| "autom4te: option `--output' requires an argument" |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Give correct diagnostic in |
| case of usage errors due to missing arguments for options for |
| which they are mandatory. Code basically copied from automake's |
| 'parse_arguments' private subroutine. |

| autoconf: tune long long tests, particularly for c99 |
| |
| This change is imported from gnulib. |
| * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT): Don't bother compiling |
| or running anything if c99, or if unsigned long long int does not |
| work. In either case, we know the answer without further tests. |
| Do not compile _AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_SNIPPET twice. Instead, compile |
| it at most once, and use its results for both long long int and |
| unsigned long long int. This is more likely to be efficient in |
| the common case where the program wants to check for both long |
| long int and unsigned long long int. |
| (AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT): Don't bother compiling if c99, |
| since the answer is already known. |

| reject the test for other (valid) reasons. People using ancient |
| xlc versions, if any, are suggested to update to fixed versions. |

| Work around DJGPP shell function return bug with command substitutions. |
| DJGPP bash 2.04 has a bug in that `return $ac_retval' done in a |
| shell function which also contains a command substitution causes |
| the shell to barf. For more details and a fix see: |
| <http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/browse.cgi?p=djgpp-workers/2009/09/09/03:35:08> |
| Possible workaround include putting the `return' in a subshell |
| or calling another function to set the status. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE_BODY) |
| (_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE_BODY, _AC_LINK_IFELSE_BODY) |
| (_AC_RUN_IFELSE_BODY, _AC_COMPUTE_INT_BODY): Use AS_SET_STATUS |

| DJGPP fix: remove both conftest and conftest.exe. |
| The DJGPP compiler may create both `a.out' and `a.exe' without -o, |

| with `-o conftest.exe'. |
| * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Also remove |
| `conftest' without $ac_exeext suffix. |

| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SITE_LOAD, AC_CACHE_LOAD): Do not |

| More reliable signal handling in Autotest. |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (Driver loop): Rewrite signal handler. |
| Start parallel jobs in their own process group, enabling job |
| control in the shell if possible, for better signal handling. |
| Deal with INT, TERM, and HUP in the testsuite driver. In the |
| parallel driver, propagate TSTP to jobs either as TSTP or as |
| STOP (to avoid fork bombs with ksh). |
| Inside the job processes, add PIPE handler to write back the |
| job token, so the master process does not hang. |
| Disable the parallel driver if job control is not provided or if |
| trap does not understand signal names. |
| * tests/autotest.at (parallel autotest and signals): New test, |
| exercises INT, TERM, and PIPE, serial and parallel, with and |
| without `make' in the loop. |

| |
| Fix testsuite program wrapper for whitespace in `pwd`. |
| The problem here is that the usual mantra is that command |

| |
| * lib/autom4te.in: Quote @datadir@. |
| |
| Proper file name escaping in Autoconf programs and Perl modules. |
| This includes escaping of characters special to the shell |
| as well as special to Perl, e.g., leading `<' or `>'. |
| For example, when $file starts with `>', `open ">$file"' |
| wrongly tries to append to a different file. |

| Diagnose and guard against write errors dealing with config.status. |
| The general idea is this: all write failures from `configure' |
| writing `config.status' are indicated by $ac_write_error, which |
| is only checked at the end. This is safe because config.status |
| code is not executed before the file is complete. Other write |
| failures, be they inside config.status, or in sub shell/awk |
| scripts spawned from configure or config.status, typically need |
| earlier checking, as their results are used right afterwards. |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Initialize `ac_write_fail' |
| before writing config.status, check afterwards. |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE, _AC_OUTPUT_FILE) |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS_PREPARE,_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): |
| Set `ac_write_error' for write failures to config.status. Barf |
| upon write failures to temporary files. |
| Adjust note about closing and reopening the here-document. |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADER, _AC_OUTPUT_LINK, _AC_OUTPUT_COMMAND) |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP): Likewise, adjust note about closing and |
| reopening the here-document. |
| * tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_FILES, HEADERS, LINKS and COMMANDS): |
| Ensure `ac_write_error' does not escape into config.status. |
| Also, add a couple of code paths not yet exercised in the test |
| suite: a config file with input from stdin, and a config header |
| output to stdout. |
| Suggestion for catching write errors by Bruno Haible. |

| Avoid error with Tru64 awk and testsuite lines with many words. |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): In the awk script that |

| even splits the input if $i, i>0, was never accessed in the script. |

| |
| 2007-11-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |

| |
| 2007-11-13 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> |
| |

| * GNUmakefile: Remove "make clean" kludge. |
| * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Depend on Makefile, not |

| |
| Remove the autoreconf-provided INSTALL, so that we regenerate it. |
| * GNUmakefile (dummy): Remove INSTALL. |
| |
| Remove racy commands to build scripts in bin/ and tests/. |
| * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Now that scripts in bin/ and tests/ |
| are guaranteed to be built, remove the rules that tried to build |
| them. Before, with a parallel build, these rules could lead to |
| two processes writing tests/wrapper.in concurrently. |
| |
| Build in man/ only *after* building in bin/ and tests/. |
| * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): The man-page-creation process runs $(MAKE) |
| in both bin/ and tests/. |
| |
| Accommodate non-srcdir build-from-checkout. |
| * build-aux/git-version-gen: Require an additional parameter: $srcdir. |
| Use git's --git-dir=$srcdir/.git option. |
| Add quotes, in case tarball_version_file contains shell meta-characters. |
| * GNUmakefile (_curr-ver): Pass $(srcdir) to git-version-gen. |
| * configure.ac: Pass "." to git-version-gen. |
| |
| Avoid spurious test failures due to version skew. |

| |
| Ignore configure --help* errors due to LINENO-impaired shells. |
| * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories, Deep Package): |
| In the --help* tests in read-only trees, make `.' temporarily |
| writable again for the `stderr' file, and ignore errors due to |
| the attempt to write configure.lineno. |
| Report by Patrick Welche. |
| |
| 2007-11-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> |
| |
| Generate package.m4 in build-dir, not srcdir. |
| * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): Adjust target. |
| Don't redirect directly to $@. |
| (CLEANFILES): Add package.m4. |
| ($(TESTSUITE)): Depend on just-built package.m4, not the one |
| in $(srcdir). |
| When running $(AUTOTEST), search "." before searching $(srcdir). |
| |
| Avoid a race condition that would make parallel "distclean" fail. |
| * tests/Makefile.am (distclean-generic): Replace the default, |
| automake-provided rule with an identical one, but with an additional |
| dependency on distclean-local. Simply adding the dependency would |
| cause automake not to emit the rule at all. |
| * BUGS: Building with -jN works, now. |
| |
| Distribute git-version-gen. |
| * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/git-version-gen, |
| since GNUmakefile is distributed, and requires it for dist* rules. |
| |
| Remove two more generated files from version control. |
| * INSTALL: Remove generated file. |
| * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list: Remove generated file. |
| |
| 2007-11-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * GNUmakefile (PATH): Remove stray apostrophes; they become |
| part of PATH, which isn't wanted here. |
| |
| 2007-11-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| New config files output variable `top_build_prefix'. |

| `top_build_prefix'. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Preset Output Variables): Document it. |
| * NEWS: Update. |
| Report by Bob Friesenhahn. |
| |
| Avoid expr for arithmetic evaluation if the shell accepts $((...)). |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT) <at_func_arith>: New |
| function, to parametrize arithmetic with expr vs. the shell. |
| Use it where possible. |
| Suggestion by Benoit Sigoure. |
| |
| 2007-11-03 Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr> |
| |
| Adjust the documentation of autotest WRT atlocal. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): It is not necessary, |
| when using Automake, to write a rule to produce atlocal, since it's |
| an AC_CONFIG_FILES. Mention that atlocal.in needs to be |
| distributed, not atconfig.in. |
| |
| 2007-11-04 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> |

| s/-/./ in snapshot version string: 2.61a-256-8b556 -> 2.61a.256-8b556 |
| * build-aux/git-version-gen: This syncs from coreutils. |
| |
| Adjust the build procedure so "make check" works reliably. |
| * README-hacking: Include an extra step between "make" and |
| "make check" to ensure that the latter passes. |
| |
| Use just-built tools, when possible. |
| * GNUmakefile (PATH): Set and export here, ... |

| Suggested by Paul Eggert. |
| |
| 2007-10-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> |
| |
| * README-hacking: Autoconf, Automake, and Perl are required to build. |
| List Gzip and Tar separately. Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues. |
| |
| 2007-10-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> |
| |
| README-hacking: Recommend running autoreconf -vi. |
| * GNUmakefile (dummy): Use autoreconf -i, with appropriate PATH, |

| Suggestions from Ralf Wildenhues. |
| |
| 2007-10-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> |
| |
| Make inter-release --version output more useful. |
| |
| Now, each unofficial build has a version "number" like 2.61a-19-58dd, |
| which indicates that it is built using the 19th change set |
| (in _some_ repository) following the "v2.61a" tag, and that 58dd |
| is a prefix of the commit SHA1. |
| * build-aux/git-version-gen: New file. |

| not configure.ac, now that the version number changes automatically. |
| |
| Ensure that $(VERSION) is up to date for dist-related targets. |
| * GNUmakefile: Arrange to rerun autoconf, if the version reported by |
| git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets. |

| Don't check for bug in HP-UX 11.00 cpp. |
| * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT): |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Don't look |

| |
| * NEWS: Document recent changes to AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF, |
| AC_CHECK_TYPE, AC_CHECK_TYPES. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic types): C types must be type-names |
| (the C terminology), not type-ids (the C++ term). C++ types |
| must not be anonymous. |
| * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW): Remove special case |
| for C++; this drops support for anonymous struct and union types, |
| which were problematic anyway. |
| * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): Adjust test to work even |
| for C++. |
| |

| (Generic Compiler Characteristics): AC_CHECK_SIZEOF now works |
| with objects too. Document the restrictions on its use. |
| Document the restrictions on AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF's type argument. |
| * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW): |
| For C, just try sizeof (TYPE) and sizeof ((TYPE)); if the former |
| works but the latter doesn't, then it's a valid type. |
| This lets people use function types and so forth. |
| For C++ there doesn't seem to be a simple solution, so leave it alone. |
| (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Allow argument to be a variable. |
| (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF, AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF): Don't bother to invoke |
| AC_CHECK_TYPE; that wasn't documented or necessary. |

| feedback. The most important changes document what happens when |
| you convert an out-of-range value to a signed integer type, and |
| say that (sum < a) != (b < 0) reliably detects overflow when sum = |

| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Integer Overflow): Greatly expand and |
| rewrite, taking notions from the recent discussion on the gcc and |

| 2006-12-28 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DEFINE_TRACE): Don't include |
| preprocessor macro arguments in traced name. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining symbols): Document longstanding |
| support for AC_DEFINE-ing macros with arguments, and document |
| behavior when the same variable has multiple AC_DEFINEs. |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_WRAPPERS): Revert to the |
| old implementation which AC_DEFINEs the FC_FUNC and FC_FUNC_ |
| macros directly, giving much shorter and simpler code. |
| |
| 2006-12-28 Malcolm Purvis <malcolmp@xemacs.org> (trivial change) |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Insert a |
| space before "$ac_configure_args" to prevent a 'config.status |
| --recheck' failure if ac_configure_args doesn't contain a leading |
| space. This works around a problem with the XEmacs configure.ac, |
| which uses the (undocumented) ac_configure_args variable |
| inconsistently with Autoconf. |
| |
| 2006-12-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): |
| Include <limits.h>, and use its INT_MAX to rewrite the |
| j loop so that it does not overflow 'int'. Problem reported by |
| Ralf Wildenhues in |
| <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2006-12/msg00084.html>. |
| Play it safe by shifting left by 1 rather than multiplying by 2, |
| as GCC is less likely to optimize this away when the value |
| is signed (when it assumes overflow leads to undefined behavior). |
| Also, don't assume time_t uses two's complement. |

| |
| This change prompted by a problem report by Andrey Simonenko in |
| <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-12/msg00026.html>. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): AC_DEFINE works for |
| object-like macros only, in the traditional portable character |
| set. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DEFINE_TRACE_LITERAL): |
| Warn about attempts to define things that are not identifiers. |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_WRAPPERS): Rewrite to avoid |

| |
| 2006-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: Undo some of the 2006-12-10 change. It was |
| too drastic, even if Texinfo in theory requires it for info mode. |
| |
| (config.status Invocation): Renamed back from Recreating a |

| (Writing Testsuites): Renamed from Writing testsuite.at. |
| (Autom4te Cache): Renamed from autom4te.cache. |
| |
| * BUGS: Remove mention of VPATH problem, since it's now documented |
| not to be a bug in the Autoconf build procedure itself, but rather |
| a problem with the proprietary `make' programs. |
| |

| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_C89): Also try -xc99=all, for Sun |

| the buggy -xc99 option of Forte Developer 7 C on Solaris 9. |
| |
| 2006-12-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): Drop the |

| |
| 2006-12-05 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): When |
| creating the awk substitution script, handle one input line at a |
| time, so that the maximum length of a substituted (multi-line) |
| value is not limited by the size of the sed pattern space. |
| The trade-off is a slightly repetitive sed script. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Branch labels |
| can only have up to 7 characters, due to Solaris 10 /bin/sed. |
| * tests/torture.at (Substitute a 2000-byte string): Increase the |
| test with several long lines, they should not be caught by sed |
| limits any more. |
| |
| * tests/tools.at (autom4te preselections): New test, to flag |
| entries missing from autom4te.cfg. |
| Report by David Byron <dbyron@hheld.com>. |
| |
| * tests/torture.at (Substitute a 2000-byte string): Actually use |
| AC_PROG_AWK, so the last change works as intended. |
| (Substitute and define special characters): Likewise. |
| (Substitute a newline): Likewise. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): Use `$AWK' |
| instead of `awk' consistently. |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Initialize $AWK. |
| * tests/torture.at (Torturing config.status): Test both the |
| result of AC_PROG_AWK and plain awk. |
| (Substitute a 2000-byte string): Likewise. |
| (Substitute and define special characters): Likewise. |
| (Substitute a newline): Likewise. |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO): Check that fseeko |
| can be assigned to a function pointer. Problem reported by |
| Peter Palfrader in <http://bugs.debian.org/401377>. Based on |
| part of a patch by Ralf Wildenhues in that same bug report. |
| |
| 2006-12-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Exclude AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED. |
| * tests/semantics.at (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED): New test. |
| |
| 2006-12-01 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE): Avoid newline, to aid in |
| cross-compiling from cygwin to mingw. |
| Reported by Bob Rossi. This resurrects the 2000-11-30 patch to |
| aclang.m4, which was mistakenly removed in the 2001-09-17 patch |
| to lib/autoconf/c.m4. |
| |
| 2006-12-01 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_PREPARE): Use a longer test |
| string for more reliable failure. Wrap the entire test that |
| causes the broken Solaris printf to dump core, in a subshell, |
| so the segmentation fault message is reliably suppressed. |
| Fix shell expansion errors by using /usr/ucb/echo always; |
| avoid an error on systems without it by another subshell. |
| Avoid m4 expansion of `$1'. Set the zeroth argument of the |
| subshell-$as_echo to `as_echo', for better error message. |
| |
| 2006-11-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_CACHE_DUMP): If `BASH_ARGV' or |
| `BASH_SOURCE' contain a newline, set them to empty, as they may |
| not be unset. |
| |
| 2006-11-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| Turn AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED into a noop. It's been obsolete for |
| years and is too hard to maintain now. The last straw was |
| reported by Jerker Baeck in |
| <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2006-11/msg00102.html>. |
| * NEWS: AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED is now obsolete. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Move |
| AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED from here... |
| (Obsolete Macros): ... to here. Say that it does nothing now. |

| Turn into (almost) a no-op. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL, AC_C_CONST): |
| (AC_C_VOLATILE): |
| Do not recommend via AN_FUNCTION, AN_IDENTIFIER, or AN_HEADER. |
| These macros are obsolescent and new applications shouldn't need them. |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID, AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH): |

| Ralf Wildenhues. |
| * NEWS: Mention this. |

| |
| 2006-11-27 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): Fix error |
| in the sed script that mangles the awk script: delete up to the |
| first exclamation mark only. |
| * tests/torture.at (Substitute and define special characters): |
| Test '!' too. |
| |
| 2006-11-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| Rewrite config files generation: avoid quadratic growth in |
| the number of substituted variables by using awk instead of sed |
| for the bulk of the substitutions. |
| * NEWS: Mention this. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): `|#_!!_#|' is also |
| forbidden in the output (and thus input) file. |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_AWK_LITERAL_LIMIT): New macro. |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): Instead of several sed scripts, |
| generate just one large awk script for substitutions, |
| eliminating much of the earlier complexity, while adding some |
| new complexity. Only expand the substitution templates at |
| configure time, for smaller configure script size. If |
| _AC_SUBST_FILES are used, test 'awk' for working getline support |
| at config.status time. If absent, interpolate through the |
| shell. The awk script was written with much help |
| from Paolo Bonzini and Paul Eggert. |
| (_AC_SED_CMD_NUM, _AC_SED_DELIM_NUM, _AC_SED_FRAG): Removed. |
| (_AC_SED_FRAG_NUM): Likewise. |
| (_AC_SUBST_CMDS): Renamed from... |
| (_AC_SED_CMDS): ...this. |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE): Use _AC_SUBST_CMDS. |
| * tests/torture.at (Substitute a 2000-byte string): Also |
| substitute a line with 1000 words, and a variable with several |
| long lines. |
| (Substitute and define special characters): Test awk special |
| characters, and put substitution input strings `@foo@' in the |
| output, to test that no recursion happens; test several other |
| combinations from Paolo Bonzini. |
| |
| 2006-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Undo recent changes |
| that replaced echo with AS_ECHO where this wasn't necessary. |
| Problem reportd by Ralf Wildenhues. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_PREPARE): Port to Solaris 7, |
| where "/usr/bin/printf '%s\n' S" dumps core if S is long. |
| This is Sun bug 4206210. Problem reportd by Ralf Wildenhues. |
| |
| 2006-11-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/freeze.mk (GREP): Removed, no need to initialize this. |
| |
| 2006-11-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Don't claim |
| that traditional Awk lacks 3-arg "split". It has it. |
| Mention that FS must be a single character, and a few other |
| 99-byte limits of traditional Awk. |
| Mention that if (i in a) doesn't work with traditional Awk. |

| (Newline-CODE-BS-newline in command): |
| (Single-quote-BS-newline in command): |
| (Single-quote-newline-BS-newline in command): |
| Use printf '%s\n' instead of echo, for portability to hosts |
| where echo interprets backslashes. This will break on hosts |
| that lack printf, but for now let's assume all such hosts |
| are dead (if not, we should get reports of test failures). |
| |
| 2006-11-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| 'echo' has some portability problems, when given a first argument |

| (Imported from Automake.) |
| * build-aux/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m, |
| which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination |
| directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the |
| equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD |

| fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in |

| nobody uses it. |
| (_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Don't log our funky tests |

| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: Be more consistent about using @acronym with |
| "HP" and "HP-UX". Remove mention of OSF; the old version wasn't |
| quite right (it talked about "OSF/Tru64", even though the |
| operating systems were called OSF/1, Digital UNIX, and Tru64 UNIX, |
| and it even mentioned "OSF 4"!) and at this point there's little |
| reason to talk about OSF any more, since it died in 1994. |
| (Specific Compiler Characteristics): Simplify example of |
| negative-size array. |
| (File Descriptors): Reorder to make the text flow better. |

| 2005-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| * lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Look for X11/Xlib.h |

| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): Merge the two m4_wrap |
| calls, so that we do not care whether they are LIFO or FIFO; |
| in the m4_wrap, do not check which diversion is the topmost |
| one, just check that the stack is balanced at the end. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_INIT): We are going to change the |
| base diversion forever--pop the previous diversion before |
| opening the new one; consequently, remove the m4_wrap call. |

| |
| 2006-06-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_TYPE_INT): Set `$ac_cv_c_int$1_t' |
| to `yes' instead of `int$1_t' if the type is found, for more |
| consistent configure output (where $1 is the number of bits). |
| (_AC_TYPE_UINT): Likewise for `uint$1_t'. |
| Suggested by Bruno Haible. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_INT): Solaris 2.5.1 |

| |
| * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Sync from upstream. |
| |
| * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf.in): Use `--melt' for autom4te, |
| in order to avoid picking up an older installed frozen m4sh.m4f. |
| Besides an outdated shell startup, this could have been created |
| by an earlier M4 version with incompatible frozen file format. |
| |
| 2006-06-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * README: Recommend m4 1.4.4 instead of 1.4.3.. |

| (Special Chars in Variables): Warn about special characters in |
| $(srcdir) too. |
| (Assignments): Clarify default-value example as suggested by |
| Ralf Wildenhues in |

| (Special Shell Variables): Note leading ./ or ../, as suggested |

| `@var', for texi2html. |
| (Systemology): Some more word wrapping, for DVI output. |
| (autom4te Invocation): The short option for `--melt' is `-M', |
| not `-m'. |
| |
| 2006-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: More formatting and English tweaks, |
| many suggested by Ralf Wildenhues. |
| Reword to avoid "@code{...}'s" and the like, since it's ugly |
| with Emacs info mode. discontents -> woes. |
| Put a few "will"s back. time stamp -> timestamp. |
| side-effect -> side effect. |
| |
| 2006-06-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure, Shell Substitutions): |
| Warn about $@ not persisting. Problem reported by Julien Danjou in |
| <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=372179>. |
| (Special Chars in Names): Renamed from Leading _ in Macro Names. |
| Mention other special chars, too. |
| |
| 2006-06-14 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (The Make Macro MAKEFLAGS): New node. |
| |
| 2006-06-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: Some systematic minor improvements, as |
| follows. Use "makefile" when talking about makefiles |
| generally (which might be named "makefile" or "Makefile" or even |
| "foo.mk"), "Makefile" when talking about a specific makefile |
| called "Makefile". This unclutters the text from weird quotes |
| (e.g., "`Makefile's" in info mode). Similarly, use "@var{foo} |
| values" rather than "@var{foo}s" and similar constructs containing |
| "}s". Use "Make rules" rather than "Makefile rules". Minor |
| English-language improvements. Change the prefix "sub-" to "sub" |
| and "re-" to "re". |
| Put blank lines around examples more consistently. |
| Avoid "rather" and "very" as intensifiers. |
| Avoid "will" as an auxiliary. |
| (Limitations of Make): Split this node into.... |
| (Portable Make, $< in Ordinary Make Rules, Failure in Make Rules): |
| (Leading _ in Macro Names, Backslash-Newline-Newline): |
| (Backslash-Newline Comments, Long Lines in Makefiles): |
| (Macros and Submakes, The Make Macro SHELL, Comments in Make Rules): |
| (obj/ and Make, make -k Status, VPATH and Make): |
| (VPATH and Double-colon, $< in Explicit Rules): |
| (Automatic Rule Rewriting, OSF/Tru64 Directory Magic): |
| (Make Target Lookup, Single Suffix Rules, Timestamps and Make): |
| New nodes, resulting from splitup of Limitations of Make. |
| All cross-references changed. Raise the top node from |
| a section to a chapter, and all subnodes accordingly. |
| Redo the introductory wording to match the new organization. |
| (Installation Directory Variables): Use an example that is |
| closer to what Autoconf actually does. Mention that VPATH's |
| value should not contain metacharacters or white space. |
| (Fortran Compiler): Fix a VPATH bug in an example. |
| (Leading _ in Macro Names): Mention that this problem is no longer |
| of practical concern. |
| (VPATH and Make): Reword the advice to make it clearer |
| that Autoconf and Automake support VPATH in non-GNU make, but |
| many packages have bugs in this area. |
| ($< in Explicit Rules): Refer to Build Directories rather |
| than using a (non-VPATH-safe) example. |
| (Automatic Rule Rewriting): Mention the sort of disaster that |
| can ensue with Solaris-style rule rewriting with VPATH. |
| |
| 2006-06-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * doc/install.texi (Compilers and Options): Weaken the |
| suggestion to use GNU make for VPATH builds. |

| Drop extra @samp from `@table @samp' item. |
| (Limitations of Usual Tools): Comment fix. |
| Do not nest @samp just to point to other table items. |
| (Writing testsuite.at) <AT_CHECK>: The second argument to |
| `@dvar' is already @samp'ed. |
| (Making testsuite Scripts) <AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR>: Likewise, |
| do not use @var in the second argument. |

| |
| * NEWS: GNU make now recommended for VPATH builds. |
| Mention that some macros are now documented to be obsolescent. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: |
| Prefer "current" to "modern" to describe |
| currently-used (albeit perhaps old-fashioned) hosts. |
| Mention which ancient features no longer need to be worried about. |
| setgid -> set-group-ID |
| setuid -> set-user-ID (these are the Posix terms) |
| Fix some misuses of "only". |

| Omit longwinded and obsolescent discussion of cp -f. |
| Modernize discussion of expr, ls. |
| (Limitations of Make): Modernize discussion of VPATH builds. |
| Mention $? as a workaround in some cases. |
| * doc/install.texi (Basic Installation): |
| Mention "./configure; make; make install" first. Be more |
| specific about why this file is generic. Remove unnecessary |
| parens. Remove misleading "only". Remove obsolete advice |
| about csh. Don't say "configure" takes awhile; say it |
| might take a while. Suggest CFLAGS=-g rather than CFLAGS=-O2, |
| and CC=c99 rather than CC=c89, as these are blessed by current |
| Posix. Recommend GNU make if doing a VPATH build. |

| 2006-05-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_DO_ECHO): Be more conservative |
| about quoting ac_try: quote all of it, if any of it seems suspicious. |
| This means we don't have to worry about ${ or sed any more. |
| Also, double-quote the case statement, to work around misuses via |
| underquoting as reported by Ralf Wildenhues in |
| <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2006-05/msg00169.html>. |

| and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |

| and Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE): If we have not seen |
| mention of `datarootdir' in the input file(s), but literal |
| `${datarootdir}' in the output file, and we haven't warned yet, |
| then warn as well: the user may have (erroneously) used |
| `AC_SUBST([mydatadir], [$datadir/my])' instead of the correct |
| `AC_SUBST([mydatadir], ['${datadir}/my'])'. |
| * tests/torture.at (datarootdir workaround): Extend this test. |

| |
| 2006-05-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * NEWS: Reword notice for AC_TRY_COMMAND, AC_TRY_EVAL, |

| |
| 2006-05-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs, Limitations of Usual Tools): |
| Use better wording to talk about AC_PROG_MKDIR_P's thread-safety. |
| Don't use the term "thread-safe" to talk about mkdir race |
| conditions, since the problem is more a process than a thread |
| issue. Problem reported by Stepan Kasal in: |
| http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2006-05/msg00088.html |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): Use code that mimics |
| the test for 'install' more closely. Look at MKDIR_P first. |
| Look in the PATH, and at /opt/sfw/bin. |
| Look for a 'gmkdir' program as well (Solaris 10 /opt/sfw/bin/gmkdir). |
| Don't bother to try mkdir -p, since we already check mkdir --version; |
| just look at the version number. (There's no easy way to check |
| for race-free implementations.) |
| * tests/tools.at (autoconf: subdirectories): Adjust to above |
| changes, since MKDIR_P now might end in "/mkdir -p". |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (autoheader Invocation): Mention that the |
| first arg of AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED must be a literal. |
| Problem reported by Ben Pfaff in |
| <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-05/msg00090.html>. |
| |
| * NEWS: Mention that AC_TRY_COMMAND and AC_TRY_EVAL may be removed. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Chars in Variables): New section. |
| (Preset Output Variables): Warn about special chars in CPPFLAGS. |
| (Installation Directory Variables): Quote $(datadir) better. |
| (Limitations of Builtins): Describe some of eval's trickiness. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O): Simplify quoting. |
| * lib/autoconf/fortram.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Likewise. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Put leading space |
| in front of every arg, not just trailing args. Quote apostrophes. |
| (_AC_EVAL_ECHO): New macro. |
| (_AC_EVAL, AC_EVAL_STDERR): Use it. Quote arg of eval. |
| (AC_TRY_EVAL, AC_TRY_COMMAND): Mention that these macros might get |
| removed. |
| (_AC_LINK_IFELSE): Use proper rule for shell continuation lines, |
| exposed by quoting of eval argument. Put the command on line line |
| so it logs better. |
| * lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): Use eval more safely. |
| (_AC_PATH_X, AC_PATH_X): Quote more safely. |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use eval more safely. |
| * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Don't use eval. |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Minor style change. |
| Handle special chars in prefix, ac_srcdir, ac_aux_dir. |
| Use eval more safely. |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Adjust to above changes. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_VAR_GET): Note that this API needs |
| to be replaced. |
| * tests/base.at (AC_TRY_COMMAND): Use proper rule for shell continuation |
| lines, exposed by quoting of eval argument. |
| |
| 2006-05-26 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| and Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Drop the |
| initialization of `ac_cv_exeext', do not override it if it was |
| already set, unless it was set to `no', for compatibility with |
| Autoconf-2.13, and comment this. |
| Do not export `ac_cv_exeext', Libtool hasn't needed this for years. |
| (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Likewise, do not export it. |
| (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_WORKS, _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_CROSS): Typos. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors) <EXEEXT>: |
| Document that this test may be overridden by setting |
| `ac_cv_exeext'. |
| |
| 2006-05-26 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| Revert these two patches: |
| |
| 2006-04-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> |
| * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Inside cache |
| check, s/ac_exeext/ac_cv_exeext/. Fixes regression introduced |
| 2006-04-01. |
| |
| 2006-04-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| Clean up _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT* macros. |
| * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Don't try to |
| detect exeext, it will be done by _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O; just set |
| ac_file to the name of the default output file and call |
| _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_WORKS. Move the definition of ac_files and the |
| initial `rm' of the candidate files... |
| (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): ... here and simplify them. Moreover, use |
| the same list in subsequent `rm' calls, and for the temporary |
| redefinition of ac_clean_files; call _AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT at the end, |
| and don't call the other _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_* macros directly, use... |
| (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_TESTS): ... this new macro. |
| (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Don't export ac_cv_exeext, it's not needed (or |
| no longer needed) by libtool. Make it a cache check. |
| (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_CROSS): Remove the comment, it was obviously |
| copied here by mistake. |
| (AC_NO_EXECUTABLES): Redefine _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_TESTS, not |
| _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT. |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_OBJC): Do not call |
| _AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT directly. |

| |
| 2006-05-25 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu> |
| |
| Sync from Automake: |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides |
| ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise |
| fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message. |
| |
| 2006-05-25 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): We now know more about |
| the variable expansion in here documents bug. |
| Thanks to Tim Rice and Stepan Kasal. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Add an example |
| how to use TESTSUITEFLAGS. Suggested by Eric Blake. |
| |
| 2006-05-24 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |

| commands in the `set -x' output. Report by Tim Rice. |
| * THANKS: Update. |
| |
| 2006-05-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Don't use shell |
| expansion in the here-documents used by config.status, as that |
| runs afoul of the Korn shell version M-12/28/93d bug described in |
| the Autoconf manual, and this in turn causes a Coreutils 5.95 build to |
| fail as described by Tim Rice and diagnosed by Ralf Wildenhues in |
| <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-05/msg00082.html>. |
| |
| 2006-05-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK): |
| Fix typo introduced with 2006-04-02 change. It reversed the sense |
| of the test. |
| |
| 2006-05-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Simplify ac_dA and |
| ac_dB slightly, to save bytes in the script. |
| Max out at 50 lines, rather than 96; this is more likely |
| (though not guaranteed) to avoid obscure 'sed' failures. |
| |
| 2006-05-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): UnixWare `tr' may interpret |
| `tr -d -' as bad option argument. Work around this by deleting |
| an unrelated character. |
| Report by Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net>. |

| Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>, |
| Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Do not promise that |
| we always prefer the GNU version of the program, and that we |
| search according to PATH; both rules can have exceptions. |
| Update description of AC_PROG_GREP, AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP, |
| AC_PROG_SED. Move descriptions of limitations |
| to the Limitations of Usual Tools section. |
| (Limitations of Usual Tools) <sed>: Mention script length |
| limitations with Solaris /usr/ucb/sed. |
| <grep>: Fix wording for empty alternative. Mention that -c and |
| -l should not be combined, and that -E and -F should not be |
| combined. |
| |
| 2006-05-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| and Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Catch script length |

| |
| 2006-05-22 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Literal parameter of |
| AC_DEFINE is now passed to m4_pattern_allow. |
| * NEWS: Mention that; likewise for AC_SUBST. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DEFINE_TRACE_LITERAL): Pass |

| Invoke AC_CHECK_FUNCS(getmntent) unconditionally so that tests of |
| $ac_cv_func_getmntent (e.g., in gl_LIST_MOUNTED_FILE_SYSTEMS) need |
| not double-quote uses of that variable, to accommodate the rare |
| case in which getmntent is available in none of the libraries |
| checked. This happens at least on FreeBSD 5.0. |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS): Bring back |
| ac_config_guess, ac_config_sub, and ac_configure, since evidently |
| some other programs unwisely rely on these undocumented vars. |
| But put in warning comments about them. |
| Problem reported by Ralf Wildenhues in |
| <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2006-05/msg00068.html>. |
| * NEWS: Document that these variables are intended to go away. |
| |
| 2006-05-20 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CXX_C_O): Require AC_PROG_CXX, |

| tests). |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CXX_C_O): New macro. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (C++ Compiler): Document it. |

| 2006-05-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Fix off-by-one bug |
| that caused config.status to generate 100-command sed scripts; the |
| portable limit is 99. |
| |
| 2006-05-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): Name temporary |
| variable `ac_d' instead of `d' to avoid infringing namespace. |
| Report by Ralf Menzel. |
| |
| 2006-05-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE): Don't prepend |
| $ac_top_build_prefix to $MKDIR_P if it's just 'mkdir -p'. |
| * tests/tools.at (autoconf: subdirectories): New test, taken from |
| the corresponding problem report by Ralf Wildenhues in: |
| http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2006-05/msg00053.html |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): |
| Quote some uses of shell variables if they might suffer unexpected |
| globbing. This doesn't fix all instances of quoting problems that |
| I found, just the easy ones that look safe. |

| |
| * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Automake/Channels.pm, |
| lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Sync from |
| Automake as follows: |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use |
| `$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve |
| directory component. |
| |
| 2006-05-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDBOOL): Fix overly-picky |
| test for C99 conformance; (bool) 0.5 is an integer constant |
| expression, but (bool) -0.5 is not. Problem reported by Fedor |
| Sergeev in <http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=96202>. |
| |
| 2006-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_MKDIR_P now |
| sets MKDIR_P, not mkdir_p, to avoid collisions with Automake. |
| Warn about obsolete install-sh files. Remove stray sentence |
| fragment and fix cross reference. |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Don't insist on |
| install -d; this undoes the 2006-05-10 change. |
| (MKDIR_P): Mark with AN_MAKEVAR. |
| (AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): Fall back on $ac_install_sh, not $INSTALL, so |
| that we don't require $INSTALL to be thread-safe. Move comments |
| out of generated code. Require AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT instead |
| of AC_PROG_INSTALL. Output a message saying that we're checking |
| mkdir -p. Set MKDIR_P rather than mkdir_p. Do special magic for |
| MKDIR_P instead of AC_SUBST. |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE, _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): |
| Special magic for MKDIR_P, too. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P): Remove comment that defeated |
| a dnl. |
| * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_ENV): mkdir_p -> MKDIR_P. |
| |
| 2006-05-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| Sync from Automake, as follows: |
| |
| 2006-05-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| * config/install-sh: Initialize IFS, so field splitting isn't |
| turned off later. |
| * config/mkinstalldirs: Likewise. |
| * config/missing: Remove superfluous quotes. Replace all uses of |
| `[' by `test', for consistency, and for.. |
| * config/missing (sed_minuso, sed_output): New variables. |
| (autom4te, help2man, makeinfo): Use them. Unifies detection of |
| `-o FILE', `--output FILE', `--output=FILE', stricter regex. |
| Fixes `missing' to detect `--output' for help2man. Fixes |
| PR automake/483. Report by Dennis J. Linse. |
| (autom4te): Document in `missing --help'. |
| |
| 2006-05-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * NEWS: New macro AC_PROG_MKDIR_P. AS_MKDIR_P is now more robust. |
| * config/install-sh: Don't use 'path' to talk about file names, |
| as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf |
| Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition |
| on hosts that predate Posix 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this. |
| Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-Posix hosts. |
| Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-Posix hosts. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Cross-reference to |
| AC_PROG_MKDIR_P from AS_MKDIR_P. |
| (Limitations of Usual Tools): Cross-reference to AC_PROG_MKDIR_P |
| from mkdir. Mention that Autoconf 2.60 install-sh is safe but |
| earlier editions are not (including Automake 1.8.3). |
| Do not suggest mkinstalldirs for thread-safety. |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Insist on an 'install' |
| that understands -d, so that AC_PROG_MKDIR_P can fall back on $INSTALL. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P): Make it more robust in the |
| presence of special characters and race conditions. |
| * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_ENV): Add mkdir_p to the list of variables |
| in Autoconf's name space. |
| |
| 2006-05-10 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org> |
| and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): New macro, taken |
| from Automake with minor changes. |

| |
| 2006-05-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * config/install-sh: Update to Automake CVS version, as follows: |
| 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| * lib/install-sh: Simplify the expr implementation of dirname. |
| 2006-04-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| * lib/install-sh: Handle --, and diagnose unknown options. |
| |
| 2006-05-09 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOTEST): Use `$(MY_AUTOM4TE)' instead of |
| `./autom4te' to create `./testsuite', since the `all' target |
| will ensure its presence, but `installcheck' should not create |
| the uninstalled wrappers. |
| |
| * tests/torture.at (Unusual Automake input files): Skip if we |
| detect automake < 1.8. |
| |
| 2006-05-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): If ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc |
| is set to `no', then that overrides and sets ac_cv_prog_cc_c89 |
| and ac_cv_prog_cc_c99 to `no', for backward compatibility. |
| * NEWS: Update. |
| |
| 2006-05-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Take care not to |
| munge (multiple) white space and other oddities. |
| * tests/torture.at (AT_CHECK_AC_ARG_VAR): Make sure to M4-escape |
| single quotes in variable assignment. |
| (AC_ARG_VAR, configure invocation): Adjust tests to expose this |
| and similar failures by adding multiple spaces, tabs, and other |
| special characters. |
| Report and different test suggested by Francesco Romani |
| <fromani@gmail.com> and Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org>. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): When we escape |
| single quotes, we only need to search for single quotes; this |
| both simplifies the search pattern, and makes us less |
| susceptible to `echo' variations for arguments not containing |
| single quotes. |
| (_AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE): Likewise. |
| |
| 2006-05-04 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |

| (Integer Overflow): Mention the special case of integer division |
| overflow. |
| |
| 2006-05-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT): Cater for |

| (Obsolete Macros): Likewise. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE): Likewise. |
| (AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_TRY_COMPILE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE) |
| (AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_COMPILE_CHECK): Likewise. |
| |
| 2006-04-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Clean up markup. |
| |

| (Run Time): Move C exit status stuff to new Exiting Portably section. |
| (Systemology): Mention Posix and levenez. Update v7 reference. |
| (Portable Shell): Mention the Posix shell. |
| |
| 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.as (me): Replace by as_me. |
| |
| 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Don't use AS_ERROR, |
| since as_me isn't set yet. |
| |
| 2006-04-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| Prepare for deprecation of AS_BASENAME and AS_DIRNAME, and fix |
| a few minor bugs in this area. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Comment out the |
| documentation of AS_BASENAME, for now. |
| (Shell Substitutions): Do not use AS_DIRNAME in an example. |

| |
| 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Remove the leading |
| newline from the `trap' code to finish `config.log'; the NetBSD |
| /bin/sh resets the exit status after an empty command, as |
| documented in doc/autoconf.texi. |
| Reported by Dalibor Topic <robilad@kaffe.org>. |
| |
| 2006-04-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Clarify AC_C_TYPEOF. |
| Suggested by Bruno Haible. |
| |
| 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * configure.ac (ac_cv_sh_n_works): Don't try to test for it, since |
| some shells (e.g., Solaris 8 /bin/sh) implement it verrrry slowly. |
| Instead, just list the shells that we know work. |
| * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX): Remove 2nd arg. All uses |
| changed. Be more cautious about the _cv_ variable. |
| * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the shell scripts): Check the |
| _cv_ variable once, at first, to avoid an internal autoconf error |
| when sh -n does not work. |
| |
| 2006-04-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: Sync from Automake. |
| |
| 2006-04-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_CONFIG_LOG): Don't |
| use ">&-" since we're only 99.999% sure that this is portable, |
| and since the MinGW bug is fixed in a different way. |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise. |
| |
| 2006-04-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Handle --recheck |
| before opening config.log, to avoid hitting a bug on MinGW. |
| |
| 2006-04-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_CONFIG_LOG): Close |
| AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD before reopening it onto the log file. |
| This works around a MinGW bug reported by Eric Paire. |
| Make sure that all writes to the log file append to it, |
| rather than possibly losing data. |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise. |
| |

| 2006-04-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| Version 2.59c. |
| |
| * Makefile.maint (news-date-check): Do not require a leading `*' |
| before the release date in NEWS. |
| |
| 2006-04-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| and Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE): If the templates for |
| the instantiated file do not contain the string 'datarootdir' |
| but contain @datadir@, @docdir@, @infodir@, @localedir@, or |
| @mandir@, replace the reference '${datarootdir}' by the value. |
| * tests/torture.at (datarootdir workaround): New test. |
| * NEWS: Advertise this temporary fixup. |
| Based on a patch by Bruno Haible, reported and analyzed by |
| Paul Eggert and Noah Misch. |
| |
| 2006-04-12 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> |
| |
| * tests/autotest.at (Debugging a failed test): Fix comment. |
| |
| 2006-04-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LN_S_PREPARE): Simplify the summary of |
| all the changes since 2006-04-07. |
| |
| 2006-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LN_S_PREPARE): If `ln -s file1 file2' |
| succeeded, but `ln -s file dir' failed, take care to remove the |
| leftover target before the next test, to prevent its spurious |
| failure; also make sure `ln file dir' works before selecting it. |
| Thanks to Keith Marshall for pointing this out. |
| * THANKS: Update. |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Store quoted variable |
| assignments in `at_debug_args', so that we put them correctly |
| in the `run' script. |
| * tests/autotest.at (Debugging a failed test): Unmark XFAIL. |
| Reported by Eric Blake. |
| |
| 2006-04-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net> |
| |
| * tests/autotest.at (AT_CHECK_AT): Add new argument, to allow |
| top-level tests after micro-suite has been run. Used in... |
| (Debugging a successful test, Debugging script and environment), |
| (Debugging a failed test): ...these new tests. The first of these |
| is fixed by... |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CREATE_DEBUGGING_SCRIPT): New |
| macro, split out from... |
| (AT_INIT): ...here, so that using -d also generates a run script. |
| Document that -d inhibits top-level logging. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Document that -d only |
| inhibits top-level logging; debug scripts are created. |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CHECK): Avoid syntax error on empty |
| check. |
| * tests/autotest.at (Empty test, Empty check): New test to check it. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_CONST, AC_C_VOLATILE): Avoid warnings |
| from gcc. |
| |
| 2006-04-10 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * tests/mktests.sh: Use "trap '' 0", not "trap 0". Do not touch |
| the files if a problem appears. Make the empty *.at files |
| read-only, too. Proposed by Ralf Wildenhues. |
| |
| 2006-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * config/Makefile.am: Add comment to force updated Makefile.in. |
| |
| * lib/freeze.mk: Fix typo in comment. Unlike the last, white |
| space only patch to this file, this patch causes the Makefile.in |
| files that include freeze.mk to be updated, and thus have a |
| newer time stamp again, which in turn makes a pristine CVS |

| (config.guess-url_prefix, config.sub-url_prefix) |
| (texinfo.tex-url_prefix, standards.texi-url_prefix): ..here; |
| point to CVS text checkout of Gnulib files. |

| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LN_S_PREPARE): MSYS `ln -s' fails |
| with a target directory; it's internally implemented as `cp' |
| anyway, but since Autoconf advertises the possibility to use |
| a target directory when LN_S is `ln -s', we need to find out. |
| Reported by Rolf Ebert <rolf.ebert.gcc@gmx.de> against MSYS, |
| analyzed by Keith Marshall <keith.marshall@total.com>. |

| style for the trap. |

| |
| Revert my change from 2006-03-17, in other words: |

| Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_CACHE_DUMP): Fix the detection of |
| whether `set' quotes correctly: redirect stderr of the tested |
| `set', and use a subshell, for Ultrix; use `sed' instead of |
| `grep' for zsh `set' which may write binary output; match only |
| at the beginning of a line, to avoid false positives. |
| In order to avoid false positives by unrelated variables with |
| multiline content, put the dump algorithm in a subshell and |
| unset all variables containing newlines (except some which are |
| special to the shell). Warn about cache variables that are |
| unset. |

| (_AC_CONFIG_REGISTER_DEST): Double quote the tags in macros _AC_LIST_TAGS |
| and_AC_LIST_TAG_COMMANDS; fixes another regression introduced by the |
| 2005-07-25 rewrite. Noticed by Noah Misch. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PRESERVE_HELP_ORDER): Do not define |
| _AC_PRESERVE_HELP_ORDER, ... |

| |
| * tests/mktests.sh: Don't use 'cat'; just read the files directly. |
| Prefer 'sort -u' to 'sort | uniq'. Filter data before sorting it. |
| Use 'comm' rather than N instances of grep; this also fixes a bug |

| generate tests for AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING and AC_FUNC_LSTAT. |
| (exclude_list): Exclude empty macros. |
| (ac_exclude_list): Exclude AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT. |

| |
| 2005-07-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| Rewrite substantial part of lib/autoconf/status.m4. |
| The main change is that CONFIG_FILES, CONFIG_HEADERS, CONFIG_LINKS, |
| and CONFIG_COMMANDS are not processed in four separate loops. |
| Instead, there is one main loop. This allows that the common code |
| is expanded only once, thus config.status (and configure) is smaller. |
| |
| The registration mechanism in AC_CONFIG_FILES and cousins also |
| changed; the AC_LIST_FILES and cousins macros are no longer used. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, |
| _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Renamed to ... |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADER, _AC_OUTPUT_LINK, |
| _AC_OUTPUT_COMMAND): ..., respectively. These macros no longer |
| contain the initialization, nor the for loop, nor the associated |
| commands; all these go to ... |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP): ... this new macro, called from |
| _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS. |
| (_AC_CONFIG_SPLIT, _AC_CONFIG_SPLIT_SOURCE_DEST, _AC_CONFIG_SPLIT_FILE_IN): |
| Nuked; the code was merged into _AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP. |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE): The creation of the sed script ... |
| (AC_OUTPUT): ... and the setup of ac_vpsub goes to ... |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): ... a new macro, also called from |
| _AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP. |
| (_AC_CONFIG_FILES, _AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, _AC_CONFIG_LINKS, |
| _AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS): Use ... |
| (_AC_CONFIG_FOOS): ... this new macro, which uses these ... |
| (_AC_CONFIG_REGISTER, _AC_CONFIG_REGISTER_DEST): ... new macros. |
| (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER, _AC_CONFIG_LINK, |
| _AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_DEPENDENCIES): No longer needed. |
| (_AC_CONFIG_DEPENDENCY): Update, it uses these ... |
| (_AC_CONFIG_DEPENDENCY_DEFAULT, _AC_FILE_DEPENDENCY_TRACE_COLON): |
| ... new macros. |
| (_AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Update. |
| (AC_LIST_FILES, AC_LIST_HEADERS, AC_LIST_LINKS, AC_LIST_COMMANDS): |
| Replaced by this ... |
| (_AC_LIST_TAGS): ... new common macro. |
| (AC_LIST_FILE_COMMANDS, AC_LIST_HEADER_COMMANDS, AC_LIST_LINK_COMMANDS, |
| AC_LIST_COMMAND_COMMANDS): Replaced by this ... |
| (_AC_LIST_TAG_COMMANDS): ... new common macro. |
| (_AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_INIT): Moved top to the `registration' section; |
| this didn't belong to the `config commands' section. |
| (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_INIT): Don't initialize, m4_ifdef is our friend. |
| (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE, AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE, |
| AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST): Moved to a new section, these didn't belong |
| to the `config commands' section either. |
| (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Don't touch diversion DEFAULTS. |
| (_AC_LIST_SUBDIRS): Don't initialize, m4_ifdef is our friend. |
| |
| ... and many changes to the comments nearby. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): At the end of the day, |
| set ac_subdirs_all='_AC_LIST_SUBDIRS'. |

| with AU::AC_OUTPUT. |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DIRCHECK): Remove the tests for |

| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Undefine include & sinclude rather than |

| |
| m4_cdr of one-member list was [[]] (one-member list containing an |
| empty string) instead of [] (an empty list. Callers were skewed to |
| match this misbehaviour. As a consequence of this: |
| - m4_foreach([x], [], [foo]) expanded to `foo', while |
| - the expansion of m4_foreach([x], [[]], [foo]) was empty. |
| This bug has been fixed: |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_cdr): If only one argument is given, |
| expand to an empty string; print error msg if called without |
| an argument list. |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Output variables may |

| "blank", "white space", and "space" all have different meanings |
| and we should be careful to say what we mean. |
| |
| 2005-05-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| Fix C++ related problems reported by Werner Lemberg. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (C++ Compiler): Mention .cpp extension. |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): Prepend each |
| object named in LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS with the ${LIBOBJDIR}, as |
| set by latest automake. |
| |
| 2005-05-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): "expr '' \| ''" |

| |
| 2005-04-29 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Separate by space, |
| not newline. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (External Software): Replace AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED |
| by AC_DEFINE; it was a mistake. |
| From bug reported against libtool by Dalibor Topic <robilad@kaffe.org>. |
| |
| 2005-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): A tiny optimization. |
| |
| 2005-04-22 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (External Software): Quadrigraphs are not |
| processed correctly in AS_HELP_STRING; avoid this in the examples. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_HELP_STRING): Add a FIXME about quadrigraphs. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_text_wrap): Likewise; and rephrase the |
| comment and reduce m4_default([foo], []) to [foo]. |
| (m4_strip): Update the explanation. |
| |
| 2005-04-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_RUN_IFELSE): |
| Remove core.conftest.* too; it's generated by Tru64 5.1. |
| Problem reported by Jennis Pruett. |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 |
| (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL): |
| Don't bother to remove core files; AC_RUN_IFELSE should do that |
| for you. |
| |
| 2005-04-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_bpatsubsts): Add the b- to comment, too. |

| examples showing how to implement --with-* and --enable-* options. |
| |
| 2005-04-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Look for configure.ac |
| as well as configure.in. Problem reported by Gregorio Guidi. |
| |
| 2005-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |

| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't assume that "date +%s" |
| fails if %s isn't supported. Problem reported by Ralf Wildenhues. |
| |
| 2005-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): |
| Merge `-z option' as well for the benefit of Solaris link flags. Pass |
| whole-archive (-zallextract, -zdefaultextract) options in the hope of |
| unique libraries, for the Sun Fortran 95 8.0 compiler. Bug reported |
| against Libtool by Yury Puhalsky <pooh@cryptopro.ru>. |
| |
| 2005-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * NEWS: The configure command now warns you if you attempt to use |
| a directory whose name contains a special character like space, |
| newline, or "\". |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Allow |
| "," in file names. Do not use \@; it's not a portable regexp. |
| * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise. |
| * lib/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise. |
| * tests/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise. |

| * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Warn about |
| unportable file names. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DIRCHECK): New macro. |
| (AC_INIT): Use it. |
| (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Use ac_pwd rather than invoking pwd. |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Propagate |
| ac_pwd, and quote srcdir. |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Quote file name args. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix some systematic formatting problems. |
| ".)" needs a following @: if not at the end of a sentence, and |
| similarly for "!)". "etc." should be preceded by a comma. |
| "n-th" -> "@var{n}th". pdksh is still buggy, so update its date. |
| |
| 2005-03-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Mention that AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR's |
| argument is often called 'build-aux'. |
| |
| 2005-03-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Quotation Rule Of Thumb): Mention that the |
| macro AC_TRY_LINK is obsolete. |

| `AC_CONFIG_FILES'. |
| |
| 2005-02-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Be more careful to skip |
| `/usr/ucb/cc'; use `cl.exe' to distinguish the MS compiler |
| from a Common Lisp's `cl'. |
| (AC_PROG_CXX): Behave according to the documentation: don't |
| search for $ac_tool_prefix$CCC and $CCC, just set CXX=$CCC; |
| make the variable CCC precious; use `cl.exe', not `cl'. |
| |
| 2005-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Redirect stdin from |
| /dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this insulates |
| us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl"). Also, do this |
| redirection before invoking "hostname" or "uname", and keep the |
| original input stream available via... |
| (AS_ORIGINAL_STDIN_FD): ... this new macro. |
| (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Don't |
| bother with "</dev/null" since it's now done at the top of |
| 'configure'. |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Likewise. |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise. |

| |
| 2005-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): Don't set ECHO_C to |
| newline if neither \c nor -n work, as that would output two |
| newlines. Prefer -n to \c. Reported by Stepan Kasal. |
| |
| 2005-02-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_IF): Define by m4_defun, not m4_define. |
| This causes that any required macros inside will get before the if. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te.cache): A typo. |
| |
| 2005-02-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| Undo previous change, except keep the change to |
| lib/autoconf/programs.m4 that replaced grep with shell |
| pattern-matching. This is because net-snmp configure reads stdin. |
| Reported by Noah Misch. |
| |
| 2005-02-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Redirect stdin |
| from /dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this |
| insulates us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl"). |
| Suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz. Also, do this redirection |
| before invoking "hostname" or "uname". |
| (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, |
| _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Undo previous change, as it's no longer needed. |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Don't bother with |
| "</dev/null" since it's now done at the top of 'configure'. |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise. |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FLAVOR_GNU): Likewise. |
| Also, replace grep with shell pattern-matching, to save a process. |
| |
| 2005-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, |
| _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Redirect stdin to /dev/null, in an attempt to |
| avoid thinking that Allegro Common Lisp's "cl" command is a C++ |
| compiler. |
| |
| 2005-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document that |
| grep -q isn't portable. Improve grep -s explanation. |
| Problem reported by Dan Manthey. |
| |
| 2005-02-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Clarify |
| PATH_SEPARATOR wording; fix typo in IFS. Reported by Gary V. Vaughan. |
| |
| 2005-02-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: Use @acronym for DJGPP. |
| Fix some @code's that should have been @env's, and vice versa. |
| Sort environment variable names. |
| Mention that shells no longer inherit IFS. |
| Don't recommend PATH_SEPARATOR=';' so strongly. |
| Mention that $RANDOM might expand to the empty string. |
| "symlink" and "soft link" -> "symbolic link". |
| Improve mktemp description (reported by Bruno Haible). |
| |
| 2005-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Don't overquote AT_SETUP arg. |
| * tests/m4sh.at (AS_DIRNAME, AS_BASENAME, AS_MKDIR_P, AS_HELP_STRING): |
| Likewise. |
| * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN, AC_PATH_PROG & AC_PATH_PROGS): |
| Likewise. |
| |
| 2005-02-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * NEWS: Mention AT_COPYRIGHT. |
| |
| * tests/local.at (AT_CMP): Use diff directly on input files rather |
| than copying them. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Don't look in |
| /usr/xpg4/bin since that sed dumps core (at least on Solaris 8). |
| |
| 2005-02-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu> |
| and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * tests/autotest.at (Empty test suite): New test. |
| * tests/torture.at (Substitute and define special characters) |
| (Substitute a 2000-byte string, Define to a 2000-byte string) |
| (Substitute a newline, Define a newline): New tests. |
| |
| 2005-02-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Revert 2002-03-04. |

| (Standard regular expressions): New test. |
| (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies, m4_text_wrap): Strip |
| excess test name quoting. |
| * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_OLD, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): Pass |
| CPPFLAGS to `configure' instead of setting it in `configure'. |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_UNAME): Try only /usr/bin/hostinfo, not |
| any `hostinfo' in $PATH, since hostinfo.exe is a popular file name |
| on some platforms. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_LANG(Fortran), AC_FC_SRCEXT): |
| s/FC_SRCEXT/ac_fc_srcext/; s/FCFLAGS_SRCEXT/ac_fcflags_srcext/. |

| (_AC_PROG_CC_C89, _AC_PROG_CC_C99): Use it. |
| |

| --version output. |
| * tests/local.at: Add Autoconf test suite copyright notice. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): Document AT_COPYRIGHT. |
| |
| 2005-02-04 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org> |
| and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): New mkstemp entry. |
| |
| 2005-02-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_escape): Escape ?, ^, \, $ too; |
| this fixes a bug tickled by the AT_CAPTURE_FILE change noted below. |
| |
| Try not to generated lines of unlimited length, as POSIX places a |
| 2047-byte limit on line length of portable text files. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): |
| Use newline as a separator, not space. |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_TESTED, AT_KEYWORDS): Likewise. |
| (AT_CAPTURE_FILE): Use space-backslash-newline as a separator, not |
| space. |

| 2005-02-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK): Move func_* to |
| as_func_*. Add test to check whether positional parameters |
| are restored after function return. |
| |
| 2005-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention _, |
| BIN_SH, DUALCASE. Say that variables other than "status" are safe |
| if they contain a lower-case letter. The DUALCASE problem was |
| reported by Ralf Wildenhues. |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.as: Don't exit with status 0 after write failure |
| with --help or --version. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): Likewise. |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Likewise. |

| Unicos 9 sed limitations. |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Try cf77 before fort77 |

| Fortran 95 (newer Crays). |
| |
| 2005-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Go back to the simple solution, but take |
| care to echo the commands, so the user knows what's going on. |
| Modified from a suggestion by Stepan Kasal. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Mention autopoint, |
| with a cross reference. Derived from a suggestion by Bruce Korb. |
| |
| 2005-01-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Warn about |

| are up to date. Problem and original solution proposed by Stepan Kasal. |
| $(dist_man_MANS:.1=-bin-prereq), $(dist_man_MANS:.1=-tests-prereq), |
| implicit-man-prerequisites): New rules, used by the above. |

| |
| Simplify the implementation of m4_require (a.k.a. AC_REQUIRE). |
| Update the long comment explaining it. |
| |
| m4_require no longer writes an ``is required by'' line to the |
| execution stack. It contains only one bit of non-redundant |
| information: that the macro was required, not called. And even |
| this bit is useless in most situations: have you ever met a macro |
| which both calls and requires the same macro? |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_defun_pro): Don't push a diversion... |
| (_m4_defun_pro_outer): ... only via this macro, for the outermost |
| macro. |

| (m4_expansion_stack_pop): Remove the misplaced comment. |
| (m4_require): Don't put the ``is required by'' line to the |
| execution stack; slightly improve the out-of-a-defun error message. |
| (_m4_divert_grow): New macro, counter for the temporary diversions. |
| (_m4_require_call): Use it. |
| * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_require): Expect output without the |
| ``is required by'' messages. |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Use |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't check |
| the $1_found variable, don't test whether the file is executable; |
| Both things are checked ... |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): If xmkmf returns |

| worked... |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: Update URLs, some of which went stale. |
| Use @uref rather than @href. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Have configure |
| handle "--" as per POSIX. Suggested by Paul Pogonyshev. |
| |
| * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp, |

| |
| More fixes to support spaces in the name of the build directory. |
| This isn't a complete fix but it's an improvement. |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.as (autom4te_options): New var. |
| Use it instead of appending to AUTOM4TE, so that we can allow |
| spaces in the build directory's absolute name. |
| * bin/autoheader.in ($autoconf): Allow spaces in file names. |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP, _AT_CHECK, |

| |
| 2004-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): Use configure.in, not configure.ac, |
| for compatibility with Automake 1.4. Reported by J C Fitzgerald in |
| <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-08/msg00051.html>. |
| |
| 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE): New empty macro. |
| (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Call it to require config.sub and config.guess. |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Likewise for install-sh. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE. |
| * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect |
| AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE. Automake 1.10 will trace it. |
| |
| 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org> |
| |
| * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect |
| AC_CANONICAL_BUILD and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET. Automake 1.9.1 will |
| trace them. |
| |
| 2004-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Set BIN_SH, for |
| Tru64. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention BIN_SH. |
| Document problem with "`""`" in pdksh POSIX mode. |
| |
| 2004-07-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Use "set -o posix" |
| with pdksh, too. Problem reported by Patrick Welche via |
| Gary V. Vaughan. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Note that set -o posix is |
| useful for pkdsh, too. |
| |
| 2004-06-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Require |
| _AS_UNSET_PREPARE, so that we can use $as_unset directly. |
| Don't fail if ENV or BASH_ENV is readonly. |
| (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Don't fail if ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, LC_ALL, |
| etc. are read only. Problem reported by Ludovic Courtes. |
| |
| 2004-06-23 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): If the shell is |
| zsh, disable GLOB_SUBST to avoid backslash handling problems. |
| (trivial change) |
| |
| 2004-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Warn about |
| names like "aux". Problem reported by Eric Blake. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY (C)): Use division |
| by zero instead of array size, so that we can use any arithmetic |
| constant expression (instead of requiring an integer constant |
| expression). This allows us to test expressions like DBL_MAX < |
| LDBL_MAX, which didn't conform to the C standard using the old |
| method. |
| (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Put back in the tests for LDBL_MAX and LDBL_EPSILON, |
| now that we can do floating-point tests at compile time. |
| |
| 2004-06-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Don't check LDBL_MAX |
| and LDBL_EPSILON, as the resulting expression isn't an |
| integer constant expression and violates the C standard. |
| Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. Also, check |
| for "L" suffix, and check that long double doesn't have |
| worse range or precision than double, that mixed-mode |
| arithmetic doesn't generate a diagnostic, that double |
| constants fit in long double. |
| |
| 2004-06-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on free(NULL), |
| malloc(0) and realloc(NULL,size). |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Spelling error reported by |
| Bob Proulx. |
| |
| 2004-05-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (HAVE_STDBOOL_H): Detect _Bool bug |
| in HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]. Problem reported |
| by Jim Meyering. |
| |
| 2004-05-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Mention that ! COMMAND |
| can be rewritten using if-then-else. Suggested by Bruno Haible. |
| |
| 2004-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Fix typo. |
| Problem reported by Stepan Kasal. |
| |
| 2004-05-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * tests/Makefile.am (autoconfdir): Fix to match comment (trivial |
| change). Patch reported by Ralf Wildenhues in |
| <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-05/msg00092.html>. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Don't assume that a |
| function F exists if the compiler and linker let you compile an |
| expression like (F != 0). Recent versions of GCC optimize away |
| the reference to F in that case, since every function address must |
| be nonzero, so the link succeeds even if F does not exist. |
| Problem reported by Manu in |
| <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00060.html>. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Standardize on the spelling of |
| "Unix". Many uses changed. |
| (Limitations of Builtins): Explain better why the ! command isn't |
| portable. |
| |
| 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org> |
| |
| * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect |
| LT_SUPPORTED_TAG in lieu of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS. |
| |
| 2004-05-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add strerror_r, cross |
| referencing AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): In AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID, |
| note pessimistic assumption when cross compiling. |
| |
| 2004-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Note that BSD make |
| (until 2004) invoked subcommands with sh -e, contra POSIX. |
| Reported by Kevin Ryde. |
| |
| 2004-05-10 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> |
| |
| * programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Fixed bug where PATH argument handed to |
| _AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK contained leading whitespace (i.e. |
| " $PATH:/usr/xpg4/bin"). This resulted in bogus tests, such as |
| `test -f " /usr/bin/grep"', which _always_ failed. |
| (AC_PROG_SED): Ditto bogus PATH fix. |
| * autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_GREP): Properly document that this macro |
| requires that grep correctly supports _multiple_ `-e' options, rather |
| than stating only that grep should accept `-e'. |
| |
| 2004-05-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| Port to C99, which requires that 'exit' be declared. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT |
| to ensure that stdlib.h is included. |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP, |
| AC_FUNC_STRTOD, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_FORK, _AC_FUNC_FORK, |
| _AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3): Likewise. |
| * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Likewise. |
| * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS): Likewise. |
| * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Include <stdlib.h> |
| when using 'exit' in a test; C99 requires that 'exit' be declared. |
| |
| 2004-05-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_GREP |
| now prefers 'grep' implementations that accept -e. |
| (Limitations of Usual Tools): Describe problems of traditional |
| egrep and fgrep with long input lines, and of traditional grep |
| with -e. |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Check for -e, too. |
| (_AC_PROG_GREP): Assume 3rd arg is properly quoted for the shell. |
| All callers changed. Append /usr/xpg4/bin to the PATH, for |
| Solaris. |
| (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Discard stderr, so we don't bother |
| the user with complaints about multiple -e options. |
| * tests/local.at (AC_STATE_SAVE): Use $GREP, not grep. |
| Define it with AC_PROG_GREP. |
| * configure.ac (AC_PROG_GREP): Add. |
| * lib/freeze.mk (GREP): New macro. |
| |
| 2004-05-02 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Consult $SHELL as |
| a possible candidate only after all others fail, rather than |
| consulting it first. This improves backward compatibility by |
| better reflecting the way shell selection occurred in previous |
| versions of Autoconf, and should help to avoid triggering latent |
| problems in other packages, such as the one in Automake where zsh |
| is not handled robustly: |
| http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2004-04/msg00095.html |
| Although it is not Autoconf's responsibility to work around |
| problems in Automake, it nevertheless makes sense to avoid |
| introducing unnecessary incompatibilites. |
| |
| 2004-04-22 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>, |
| Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't guess |
| how deeply nested we are when a suitable tool is found, set the |
| ac_path_TOOL_found flag. |
| (_AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK): Encapsulate knowledge of how deeply |
| nested we are in this macro. Break out of all 3 nested loops if |
| ac_path_TOOL_found is set. |
| |
| 2004-04-21 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Break out |
| of the _AS_PATH_WALK loop too if GNU flavor is found. |
| |
| 2004-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Update documentation |
| for `$<'. New entry `Long lines', based on a report from Simon |
| Josefsson. Augment the documentation for SHELL = @SHELL@ with a |
| paragraph about DJGPP, based on a mail from Richard Dawe. |
| |
| 2004-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * tests/c.at (C keywords): Don't assume that GCC supports |
| "restrict" and "inline", as sufficiently-old GCC versions do not |
| (also, GCC configured to be in pedantic C89 mode does not). |
| Problem reported by Sumit Pandya in: |
| http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-04/msg00092.html |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_G, _AC_PROG_CXX_G): Don't |
| consider -g to work if it generates warnings when plain compiles |
| don't. Problem reported by Braden McDaniel in: |
| http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00014.html |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Slashes): New section, to document a problem |
| reported by Jim Meyering in: |
| http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00060.html |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Remove potential |
| linker output files before linking, to work around IRIX 6 linker bug. |
| Problem reported by Rainer Orth in: |
| http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-02/msg00007.html |
| |
| 2004-04-20 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Make the |
| best tool so far counter rely on the tool path variable name to |
| avoid checks for one tool being affected by the results of running |
| the length check on a previous tool. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Take an additional |
| match expression argument, as different greps have different |
| regular expression flavours. |
| (AC_PROG_FGREP): Pass 'FGREP'. fgrep treats all match chars as |
| literals. |
| (AC_PROG_EGREP): Pass 'EGREP$'. |
| (AC_PROG_GREP): Pass 'GREP$'. |
| |
| 2004-04-20 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Cache variable |
| is `ac_cv_path_GREP', not `oc_cv_path_GREP'. |
| |
| 2004-03-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers, Particular Types, Generic |
| Types, Specific Compiler Characteristics, System Services, |
| Obsolete Macros): Use 'long int', 'short int', 'unsigned int' |

| |
| 2004-03-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Structures): AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE |
| now defines HAVE_DECL_TZNAME if it is declared, when |
| HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE is not defined. |

| Do not assume atoi. Rely on HAVE_DECL_TZNAME when testing |
| for HAVE_TZNAME. |
| |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Corrected |

| * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document it. |

| HAVE_INTTYPES_H is defined. This is needed on Tru64 5.1b with |
| Compac C V6.5-207 (dtk), which defines uintmax_t in <stdint.h> but |
| not <inttypes.h>. Problem reported by Tim Mooney in |
| <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-01/msg00147.html>. |
| * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS): |
| Likewise. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Use diff, not sed; |

| 2004-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |

| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document that |

| http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-01/msg00000.html |
| (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Invoke _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not |
| AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, since we now assume our caller invokes |
| AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE, for symmetry with _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN. |
| (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN): Likewise, for _AC_RUN_IFELSE instead |
| of AC_RUN_IFELSE; this avoids the warning mentioned above. |
| (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE. |
| |
| 2004-01-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): Avoid \$ inside |

| Alexandre Duret-Lutz. |

| 2004-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Mention that cc |
| -c -o might not work. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde. |
| (C Compiler, Generating Sources, Limitations |
| of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts): |
| Don't put '-o' after non-options, as POSIX doesn't allow this. |

| 2003-12-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <Automatic rule rewriting>: |

| * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust. |
| |
| 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&file_name_is_absolute): Remove. |
| (&verbose): Remove. |
| (&getopt): Adjust the note and verb channels, depending upon |
| --verbose. |
| * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in, |
| * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust. |
| Use &verb, not &verbose. |
| |
| 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoheader.in (&parse_args): Use &parse_warnings and |
| &parse_WARNINGS. |
| ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage. |
| * bin/autoscan.in: Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs. |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it. |

| |
| First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te, |
| including when the cache is used. |
| |
| There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4 |
| (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings |
| spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the |
| code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work |
| (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te). |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs): |
| Use them. |
| (@preselect): Add m4_warn. |
| ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code. |
| ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage. |
| (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings. |
| At each run, extract and report the warnings. |
| Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on |
| failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same |
| failure, hence we can use the cache. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse) |
| (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn): |
| Remove. |
| (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that |
| matters, as warnings are now reported via traces. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of |
| the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing |
| the latter reveals calls to the former. |
| |
| Adjust the tests. |
| |
| * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories. |
| |
| 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs): |
| Use them. |
| |
| 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in |
| forward order. |
| * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos. |
| (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests. |
| (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect. |
| (cross): New warning category. |

| * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (&find_configure_ac) |

| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_configure_ac, &canonfile) |
| (&catfile): Remove. |
| * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in, |
| * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust. |
| |
| 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoheader.in: Remove duplicate 'use Autom4te::FileUtils'. |
| Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz. |
| |
| 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, |
| * bin/autom4te: Adjust. |
| In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly |
| working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose. |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file) |
| (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by... |
| * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this. |
| More perldoc. |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to... |
| * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here. |

| 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers |
| (trivial change). See: |
| http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html |

| From Gareth McCaughan. |
| |
| 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log, |
| not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing |
| Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of |
| top_srcdir to find config.log. |
| Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of |
| failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards. |
| |
| 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION): |
| Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never |
| make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the |
| resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail. |
| Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's |
| aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by |
| Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by |
| Keith Bostic in |
| <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>. |
| In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>, |

| Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files |
| in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to |
| testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely. |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected |
| file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting |
| at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file, |
| at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft |
| to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the |
| at_suite_log when a test fails. |
| (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe, |
| with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout. |
| (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file |
| and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to |
| its original place. |
| (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout, |
| and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose |
| into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout |
| and stderr. |
| |
| * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update |
| the name of the debugging directory and information about |
| its contents. |

| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the |
| seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work. |

| |
| 2002-12-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an |
| innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This |
| works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i |
| (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares |
| gettimeofday and many other functions. |
| |
| 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| Version 2.57. |

| |
| * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.: |
| (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the |
| .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD): |
| Remove. |
| We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to |
| avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a |
| AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int], |
| [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not |
| otherwise available.]) |
| We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The |
| old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore |
| did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf |
| was not compatible with Libtool. |
| |

| From Bruno Haible. |
| |
| 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |

| |
| * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state' |

| |
| 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first |
| aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to |
| aclocal. |
| Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the |
| traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does. |
| Reported by Paul D. Smith. |

| 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to |

| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the |

| |
| * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate) |
| (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on |

| |
| 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use |
| ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that |
| runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8. |
| |
| * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings. |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to |
| stdout, as traditional "ls" does. |
| * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT, |
| _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls". |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was |

| but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as. |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate. |

| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL, |
| MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work |
| around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly. |
| For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as |
| the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if |
| this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop, |
| to shorten the output script. |
| |
| 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX |
| 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround |
| for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD. |
| (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and |
| "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming |
| to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset" |
| example, since the old example is now out of date. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd |
| FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches |
| problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink |
| spaghetti. |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead |
| of rolling our own unset. |
| (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since |
| in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work. |
| |

| Adjust. |
| |
| 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the |

| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table, |

| |
| 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net> |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir |
| options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te |
| --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document |
| use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH. |
| * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir |

| |
| * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice. |
| |
| * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro. |
| Replace with: |
| (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro. |
| * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise. |
| * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros. |
| Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output. |
| |
| 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in |

| `make -k'. |
| |
| 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts): |
| Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo. |
| |
| 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): |
| Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002 |
| apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".". |
| Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl. |
| |
| 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr> |
| |

| the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff. |
| This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin. |
| |
| 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility. |
| AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions. |
| Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg. |
| New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE. |
| |
| * NEWS: Document this. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro. |
| (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance, |
| not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change, |
| reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior. |
| Add new optional argument DIR. |
| (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro. |
| |
| 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ): |
| Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary, |
| and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails. |
| Bug reported by Stephen Gildea. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED): |
| If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time, |
| instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time |
| check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as |
| nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts. |
| Bug reported by Paul D. Smith. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional |
| argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a |
| FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in |
| textutils. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this. |
| Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since |
| that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by |
| Paul D. Smith. |
| |
| 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's |
| autopoint instead of gettextize. |
| ($uses_alocal): Rename as... |

| 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input |
| files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time. |
| Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around |
| problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files. |
| |
| 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org> |

| From Christian Cornelssen. |
| |
| 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because |
| of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO |
| in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of |
| course. |
| Be sure to protect it. |

| |
| * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older |
| than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal, |
| if some of its input are younger, make them older. |
| Suggested by Paul Eggert. |
| |
| 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |

| DEFAULT diversion. |
| (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them. |
| (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove. |
| (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the |
| _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in |
| _AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS. |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust. |
| |
| 2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |

| config.h.in that was to be created. |
| |

| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP): |

| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust |
| AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set. |
| Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if |
| needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if |
| `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report |
| programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the |
| tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no |
| longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and |
| useless. |

| |
| This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array |
| static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time |
| and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from |
| `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes. |
| (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time |
| test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no |
| better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above. |
| * NEWS: Likewise. |
| |

| (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include |
| option. |
| (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths. |
| (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it. |
| The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I |
| know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means |
| to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows'' |
| all the arguments meant to the defined macro. |
| |
| 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New. |

| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in |
| variable names when referring to a single test group, or to |
| `suite' when referring to the whole test suite. |
| `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself. |
| (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables. |
| (AT_CHECK): Use them. |
| |
| 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative, |
| in PATH. |
| Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'. |
| Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test |
| suite. |
| Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist. |
| |
| 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run |
| in place. |
| |
| 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no |

| * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust. |
| |
| 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates |
| `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be |
| found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run. |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir, |
| at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir |
| are new variables. |
| Create the directories. |
| Use absolute paths for at- files. |
| (AT_CHECK): Adjust. |

| 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use |
| AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the |
| definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and |
| `missing' itself contains variables. |
| |
| 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end. |
| Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of |
| the test suites. |
| |
| 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so |
| that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4. |
| Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is |
| obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway. |
| Reported by Ralf Corsepius. |

| 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be |

| |
| 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to |
| be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE. |
| (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather |
| than character ranges. |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before |
| invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if |
| possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional |
| behavior. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above. |
| |
| 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body |
| with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05. |
| |
| (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than |
| Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple |
| instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for |
| other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a |
| check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing |
| the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for |
| output and chmod failures. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document |
| the above. |
| |

| |
| 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm, |
| lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: |
| Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail |
| with 5.005_02. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some |
| more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack. |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro. |
| (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since |
| eval $LINENO is not portable in practice. |

| |
| 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R): |
| Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p, |
| and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since |
| POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r. |
| Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to. |
| Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*. |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): |
| Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that |
| AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R. |
| |
| * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P. |

| ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove. |

| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works. |
| (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro. |
| (AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics. |
| (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr'; |
| and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes |
| AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME. |
| (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0 |
| contains white space. |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): |

| 2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node, |

| to getpgrp. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove. |
| (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check |

| correctly. |
| Add test for AS_BASENAME. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous |
| added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''. |
| Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME. |
| * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were |
| one line out... |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as |
| the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13). |
| |
| 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in |

| |
| Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4 |
| or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of |
| fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even |
| when they don't exist. |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS, |
| not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't |
| need it. |

| * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty |
| version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use |

| * doc/autoconf.texi (autoscan Invocation): Adjust. |
| |
| 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| CVS GNU M4 doesn't like `undefine(undefined)'. |
| |
| * bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros): |
| New, extracted from main. |
| Use IO::File wherever possible. |
| (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp. |
| Therefore be a quoted heredoc. |
| Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just |
| `unm4.m4'. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| Version 2.52d. |
| |

| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Fix the |
| previous patch. |

| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): DU 5.0 has |
| serious problems handling heredocs in heredocs. |
| Reported by Nicolas Joly. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi: Don't promote non `m4_*' M4 macros. |
| (Making testsuite Scripts): Update. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add autom4te.cfg. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'. |
| (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'. |
| And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the |
| inverse order. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoupdate.in (@include): `installcheck' revealed the path |
| to m4sugar was lacking! |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass |
| autom4te_perllibdir. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to |
| debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to |
| run is stupid. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from `@include'. |
| * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too. |
| Use directly autom4te, not autoconf. |
| * tests/autoupdate: $top_srcdir/lib is needed too for melt files. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Missing eol. |

| * bin/autoheader.in: Run directly autom4te --mode=autoconf, no |
| need for autoconf. |
| Promote --include over --macrodir and other obsolete options. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm ($version, $help, &getopt): New. |
| * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in: Use them. |
| * bin/autom4te.in ($autoconf): Pass --force. |
| `print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'. |
| * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir. |
| (autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for |
| the time stamps. |
| Adjust to the new autoheader messages. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files. |
| Check the completeness of the #template. |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/remove/unlink/. |
| * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Adjust AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER |
| invocation. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &update_file): New. |
| * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust. |
| Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real. |
| * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says |
| `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'. |
| * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |

| * tests/autoheader: Adjust. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option. |
| Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it. |
| Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them. |
| * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir): |
| There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg. |
| * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'. |
| * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control. |
| * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust. |
| * tests/autoconf: Dittowise. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.in: Don't bother with `acsite.m4' and `aclocal.m4'. |
| * bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for |
| optionally `FILE'. |
| Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK. |
| (&parse_args): Adjust. |
| * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'. |
| |
| 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * configure.ac: Also find tested executables in bin. |
| * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, |
| * bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the |
| installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it. |
| Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars. |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove. |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives |
| `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'. |
| * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to |
| find the executables for it. |
| * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document... |
| * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations. |
| We only need PERL. |
| * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is |
| indeed related to running the test suite, while passing |
| --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed |
| Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to... |
| * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate, |
| * tests/autoscan: New. |
| * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't |
| refer to library files: rely on --language. |

| |
| 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |

| Suggested by Paul Eggert. |
| |
| 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |

| download in a tmp dir. |
| |
| 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |

| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Log the command line. |

| |
| Automake 1.5. |
| |
| * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Add 1.5 and dist-bzip2. |
| (AMTAR): Help automake define it. |
| (INSTALL, install-data-hook): The INSTALL.txt trick is no longer |

| |
| 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE, |
| ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN. |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update |
| documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN. |
| |
| 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing |
| magic values from an object file when cross-compiling. |
| Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>. |
| |
| 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side |
| effects. |
| Suggested by Russ Allbery. |
| |
| 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the |
| current $prefix to the sub-configures. |
| |
| 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable |
| extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum. |
| |
| 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te. |
| |
| 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be |
| removed. |
| (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file. |
| No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before |
| 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. |
| * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New. |
| * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it. |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'. |
| |
| 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option. |
| |
| 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution. |
| |
| 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE) |
| (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not |
| AC_TRY_LINK. |

| (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise. |
| |
| 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we |
| might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these |
| files. |
| |
| * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'. |
| * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused. |
| (@Request::source): Rename as... |
| (@Request::input): this. |
| (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'. |
| (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces. |
| `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o. |
| (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'. |
| (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only. |
| |
| 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader && |
| autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output. |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as... |
| (Request::id): this. |
| ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New. |
| (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp. |
| (&handle_output): Adjust. |
| (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too. |
| (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid. |
| Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent. |
| |
| 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New. |
| (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option. |
| (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'. |
| (&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'!). |
| * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of |
| Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct. |
| * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it. |
| (&mtime): New, export it. |
| * bin/autom4te.in: Use it. |
| Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated. |
| Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong. |
| |
| 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces |
| must be proposed to the users. |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove. |
| (@preselect): New. |
| (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option. |

| 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on |
| macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple |
| lines arguments. |
| |
| 2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr> |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without |
| arguments. |

| From Nicolas Joly. |
| |
| 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception. |
| |
| * bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins |
| trace requests. |
| (@m4_builtins): Rename as... |
| (@m4_builtin): this. |
| (%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New. |
| (&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names. |
| (&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here. |
| (&trace_requests): Remove, unused. |
| |
| 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> |
| |
| * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit, |
| m4_if, and m4_wrap. |

| (m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion |
| mismatch happens. |
| * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first |

| the appear in the output. |

| * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic) |
