=head1 NAME

Autom4te::ChannelDefs - channel definitions for Automake and helper functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Autom4te::ChannelDefs;

  Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage ();
  prog_error ($MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS]);
  error ($WHERE, $MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS]);
  error ($MESSAGE);
  fatal ($WHERE, $MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS]);
  fatal ($MESSAGE);
  verb ($MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS]);
  switch_warning ($CATEGORY);
  parse_WARNINGS ();
  parse_warning ($OPTION, $ARGUMENT);
  Autom4te::ChannelDefs::set_strictness ($STRICTNESS_NAME);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This packages defines channels that can be used in Automake to
output diagnostics and other messages (via C<msg()>).  It also defines
some helper function to enable or disable these channels, and some
shorthand function to output on specific channels.

=head2 CHANNELS

The following channels can be used as the first argument of
C<Autom4te::Channel::msg>.  For some of them we list a shorthand
function that makes the code more readable.

=over 4

=item C<fatal>

Fatal errors.  Use C<&fatal> to send messages over this channel.

=item C<error>

Common errors.   Use C<&error> to send messages over this channel.

=item C<error-gnu>

Errors related to GNU Standards.

=item C<error-gnu/warn>

Errors related to GNU Standards that should be warnings in `foreign' mode.

=item C<error-gnits>

Errors related to GNITS Standards (silent by default).

=item C<automake>

Internal errors.  Use C<&prog_error> to send messages over this channel.

=item C<gnu>

Warnings related to GNU Coding Standards.

=item C<obsolete>

Warnings about obsolete features (silent by default).

=item C<override>

Warnings about user redefinitions of Automake rules or
variables (silent by default).

=item C<portability>

Warnings about non-portable constructs.

=item C<syntax>

Warnings about weird syntax, unused variables, typos...

=item C<unsupported>

Warnings about unsupported (or mis-supported) features.

=item C<verb>

Messages output in C<--verbose> mode.  Use C<&verb> to send such messages.

=item C<note>

Informative messages.

=head2 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item C<usage ()>

Display warning categories.

=cut

sub usage ()
{
  print "Warning categories include:
  `gnu'           GNU coding standards (default in gnu and gnits modes)
  `obsolete'      obsolete features or constructions
  `override'      user redefinitions of Automake rules or variables
  `portability'   portability issues
  `syntax'        dubious syntactic constructs (default)
  `unsupported'   unsupported or incomplete features (default)
  `all'           all the warnings
  `no-CATEGORY'   turn off warnings in CATEGORY
  `none'          turn off all the warnings
  `error'         treat warnings as errors
";
}

=item C<prog_error ($MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS])>

Signal a programming error (on channel C<automake>),
display C<$MESSAGE>, and exit 1.

=cut

sub prog_error ($;%)
{
  my ($msg, %opts) = @_;
  msg 'automake', '', $msg, %opts;
}

=item C<error ($WHERE, $MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS])>

=item C<error ($MESSAGE)>

Uncategorized errors.

=cut

sub error ($;$%)
{
  my ($where, $msg, %opts) = @_;
  msg ('error', $where, $msg, %opts);
}

=item C<fatal ($WHERE, $MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS])>

=item C<fatal ($MESSAGE)>

Fatal errors.

=cut

sub fatal ($;$%)
{
  my ($where, $msg, %opts) = @_;
  msg ('fatal', $where, $msg, %opts);
}

=item C<verb ($MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS])>

C<--verbose> messages.

=cut

sub verb ($;%)
{
  my ($msg, %opts) = @_;
  msg 'verb', '', $msg, %opts;
}

=item C<switch_warning ($CATEGORY)>

If C<$CATEGORY> is C<mumble>, turn on channel C<mumble>.
If it's C<no-mumble>, turn C<mumble> off.
Else handle C<all> and C<none> for completeness.

=cut

=item C<parse_WARNINGS ()>

Parse the WARNINGS environment variable.

=cut

sub parse_WARNINGS ()
{
  if (exists $ENV{'WARNINGS'})
    {
      # Ignore unknown categories.  This is required because WARNINGS
      # should be honored by many tools.
      switch_warning $_ foreach (split (',', $ENV{'WARNINGS'}));
    }
}

=item C<parse_warning ($OPTION, $ARGUMENT)>

Parse the argument of C<--warning=CATEGORY> or C<-WCATEGORY>.

C<$OPTIONS> is C<"--warning"> or C<"-W">, C<$ARGUMENT> is C<CATEGORY>.

This is meant to be used as a argument to C<Getopt>.

=cut

}

=item C<set_strictness ($STRICTNESS_NAME)>

Configure channels for strictness C<$STRICTNESS_NAME>.

=cut

sub set_strictness ($)
{
  my ($name) = @_;

  # FIXME: 'portability' warnings are currently disabled by default.
  # Eventually we want to turn them on in GNU and GNITS modes, but
  # we don't do this yet in Automake 1.7 to help the 1.6/1.7 transition.
  #
  # Indeed there would be only two ways to get rid of these new warnings:
  #  1. adjusting Makefile.am
  #     This is not always easy (or wanted).  Consider %-rules or
  #     $(function args) variables.
  #  2. using -Wno-portability
  #     This means there is no way to have the same Makefile.am
  #     working both with Automake 1.6 and 1.7 (since 1.6 does not
  #     understand -Wno-portability).
  #
  # In Automake 1.8 (or whatever it is called) we can turn these
  # warnings on, since -Wno-portability will not be an issue for
  # the 1.7/1.8 transition.
