2005-10-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generating Sources): AC_LANG_PROGRAMS ->
AC_LANG_PROGRAM, fixing a typo. Don't give details about
the inner workings of AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_CALL(C)): Reformat to match
AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY. This involves returning the value returned
by the function rather than ignoring it.
(AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Call the function rather than simply
comparing its address. Intel's interprocedural optimization was
outsmarting the old heuristic. Problem reported by
Mikulas Patocka.

2005-10-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST): Remove an obsolete comment.
2005-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_map): New macro.
(m4_map, m4_map_sep): Use it. Handle the empty list correctly.
2005-10-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Really make the subtree writable
before removing it (chmod -R u+rwx); there are three instances of this.
2005-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Balance parentheses.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): If the test dir already exists,
make its content writable before removing it. Remove an errorneous
comment from the end, where the logs of the failed tests are copied
to the main log file.
2005-09-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Pass --force to autoheader,
in case the computer is too quick. Double quote the configure.ac
snippets.
* tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Always pass --force to prevent
problems if the testsuite were running too fast.
2005-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Look for X11/Xlib.h
and XrmInitialize rather than X11/Intrinsic.h and XtMalloc
(which belong to Xt, not X itself). See Debian bug 327655.
* NEWS: Mention this.
2005-09-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_SOURCE(C)): Remove an incorrect comment.
2005-09-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* config/move-if-change: Don't output "$2 is unchanged";
suggested by Ben Elliston. Handle weird characters correctly.
2005-09-06 23:38:56 +08:00
2005-09-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Merge the two AC_LINK_IFELSE
calls, so that the final expansion of this macro is shorter.
Create the conftest.$ac_ext outside the `for' loop, to speed the run.
Do not use `break' in the argument to AC_LINK_IFELSE, it would skip
the cleanup there. Use AS_VAR_* macros, to be more general.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Check for the cleanup.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4: Use AS_IF where appropriate.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_IF): Use m4_default.
2005-09-01 21:49:01 +08:00
2005-09-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Headers): Add an index entry
for AH_HEADER.
2005-08-26 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
* lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): Use shell variable
XMKMF to locate xmkmf. Make XMKMF precious. Export CC when
running xmkmf.
2005-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_VERSION_COMPARE_PREPARE):
The previous patch didn't work, so try a better one.
2005-08-26 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh) <AS_TR_CPP>: Fix m4 quoting
in the example. Reported by Bruno Haible.
<AS_TR_SH>: Likewise. Also modify the example to be more convincing:
"if $undefined_var;" succeeds with my shell.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST,
AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Define by AC_DEFUN, no need to use AC_DEFUN_ONCE;
but change the m4_divert_text to m4_divert_once.
2005-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_VERSION_COMPARE_PREPARE):
Work around bug in Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.
The bug is present in at least Solaris 8 through 10.
2005-08-25 16:49:01 +08:00
2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT): Simplify; rejecting
some evil values and relying on the fact that $* concatenates the
parameters by the first character from IFS.
2005-08-23 16:50:54 +08:00
2005-08-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>,
Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_REGISTER_DEST): When the
first header appears, define AH_HEADER.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Headers): Document AH_HEADER.
Update limitations about when to call AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
(Configuration Commands): Document that AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE
parameter can call AC_SUBST, AC_DEFINE, or AC_CONFIG_FOOS; explain
that AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE and AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST are not
``Configuration Actions''; fix their index entries.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Process multiple keywords
options correctly. Process N-M as M-N if M is smaller than N.
Process ranges correctly so that N-N will run only N.
Sort and uniquify the tests that will be run. If there is more
than one test, reinsert the banners for the tests.
* tests/autotest.at (Keywords): Unmark XFAIL.
2005-08-23 15:46:54 +08:00
2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_DEFINE_Q): Strip the parameter list
before passing the macro name to AH_TEMPLATE.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): config.status
now opens log after option processing; in particular, --version
and --help do not touch config.log.
2005-08-23 15:46:54 +08:00
* Makefile.maint: Revert the change from 2005-08-12.
2005-08-22 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH): Factor out
common code to...
(_AC_ENABLE_IF, _AC_ENABLE_IF_ACTION): ... these new macros.
2005-08-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Using Autotest, testsuite Scripts)
(Autotest Logs, Writing testsuite.at, testsuite Invocation):
Language cleanup.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols, Changed Results):
Prepend to LIBS, not append, in examples.
2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
When building in place, set srcdir="."; suggested by Tim Van Holder.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Do this; to recognize
build in place, we need ac_pwd, and thus have to AC_REQUIRE ...
(_AC_INIT_DIRCHECK): ... this macro and AC_DEFUN both of them.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCDIRS): Fix a comment: srcdir="."
does not mean "no --srcdir option".
2005-08-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
* tests/autoscan.at (autoscan): New file.
* tests/suite.at: Use it.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_HAND_AT): Add it.
Reported against Libtool by Gideon Go <gideon.go@gmail.com>.
* tests/autotest.at (Keywords): Test keywords combinations.
2005-08-12 19:27:03 +08:00
2005-08-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): When checking the help text of gzip,
add "2>&1"; gzip 1.2.4 prints help on stderr.
2005-07-27 21:46:20 +08:00
2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_DECIDE_TRACEABLE): The symbol at_reason
was pushdef'ed twice while popped only once. Push it only once.
2005-07-27 22:20:32 +08:00
(_AT_CHECK): Cosmetic changes to the "case $at_status" command.
2005-07-27 21:46:20 +08:00
2005-07-26 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): The message is now
prefixed by mere "===", not "configure: === ".
2005-07-26 03:00:06 +08:00
2005-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* Makefile.maint: Update from Bison.
2005-07-26 14:45:32 +08:00
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_strip): Comment fix---change tab to
"<tab>" in comment, so that the point is understandable.
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.

* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Don't call
_AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Move AC_LANG_PUSH(C)

2005-07-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM): Use &, not |, in
sed substitution command, so that we allow | in program prefixes

quotes and backslashes. Patch from Derek Price.
2005-06-10 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>

Redo example output tp match current CVS snapshot.
Use @example.org in email addresses when the examples
might get inadvertently cut-and-pasted into user code.
Remove example of autom4te usage that doesn't seem to work now.
Use modern AC_INIT (except when the example is meant to be
shown with Autoconf 2.13).
Update ksh info for Solaris 9 and later.
KB -> kB.
Modernize description of Automake versions a bit.

2005-06-06 16:47:02 +08:00
2005-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
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.
2005-07-07 18:44:46 +08:00
This bug has been fixed:
2005-06-06 16:47:02 +08:00
* 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.

2005-06-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't create a regular
expression of unbounded size when processing the --list

2005-02-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Undo previous change, except keep the change to

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

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/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Use
"char c = '\200';" rather than "char c = 0x80;" as the
latter doesn't conform to the strict C standard due to
overflow on signed char hosts.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Prefer -qlanglvl=extc89

More fixes to support spaces in the name of the build directory.
This isn't a complete fix but it's an improvement.

* 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>

2004-05-25 07:29:25 +08:00
* 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>

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.
2004-05-03 14:50:48 +08:00
(_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.
2005-07-26 15:13:38 +08:00
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,

pacify libtool 1.5.2. Fix quoting problems in sed command.
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.
* lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Implement this.
Do not assume atoi. Rely on HAVE_DECL_TZNAME when testing
for HAVE_TZNAME.
2004-03-28 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Corrected

* NEWS: New macro AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document it.

one per related section. Add $(srcdir)/wrapper.in.
2004-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Emphasize that
AC_SUBST provides no portable way to escape literal newlines.
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Ignore all
flags of the form -lcrt*.o, not just -lcrt[01].o and -lcrtbegin.o.
Darwin uses -lcrt2.o and there's little point to cataloging all
the system variants. Partial fix reported by Andreas Waechter in:

Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.

Output stack traces in warnings.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_warn): New.

2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

&parse_WARNINGS.
($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
* bin/autoscan.in: Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it.
2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
including when the cache is used.
There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
(one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
(its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
* bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
Use them.
(@preselect): Add m4_warn.
($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):

2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in

* 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.

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.

to support the new --keywords behavior.

* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),

2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* 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.
2002-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

longer required can still cause errors.
Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
* bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'

Reported by Paul D. Smith.
2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,

"permute", too.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):

2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

`functions' line is now prefixed with `function:'.
* bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

plain `@' is wanted.
2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Version 2.53c.
2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
SITE_MACRO_DIR.
* configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.

2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
* bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
* bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
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
applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
* bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
* 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.
* Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,

lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
* config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
Update.
* configure: Regenerate with self.

default output.
2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>

failure.
2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
(&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
hand, which is not portable.
(&error): New.
* bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
Use &error instead of die.
* tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
Adjust.

2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
(Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
* bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.

--include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
* lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
arguments from each language section.
2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* 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
comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
`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>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the special
handling of the obj/ directory by BSD make.
2002-07-20 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

so that Emacs setups GNU style for perl-mode and cperl-mode.
2002-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

2002-06-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
* doc/autoconf.texi: Add more dir entries.
2002-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in ($cache): Don't define using `$me', the name

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.

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

course.
Be sure to protect it.

Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most

Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.

AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.

(Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
(AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
presumably because of a buffer overrun.
2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
says 'times: not found'.
2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

affect the latter.
2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file

* doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target

backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...

* doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state

evaluation is the current item.
(m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
`foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
$*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
the last...
(m4_lquote): New.
(m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
efficient.
(m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
(m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
(m4_cdr): New.
(_m4_foreach): Adjust.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
m4_bpatsubst for clarification.

to this file.
2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,

2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* 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.
* tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.

(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
arguments.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
(AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.

2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* doc/autoconf.texi (New Macros): Tweak wording.
2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>

2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
Remove $filepath, useless.
(&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
variables, they are really part of the tokens.
Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
(&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
* doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
Remove, replaced by...

2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoscan.in (scan_c_file): Fix the handling of C comments.
Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
comment made the whole line be ignored.
2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
(testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.

top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
at_top_builddir.

top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.

spelling errors.
2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
$host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
spotted by Jim Meyering.
2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
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.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
hand.
* tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
(AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
(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.
(AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
configure.ac.
* tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* 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
need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
(AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
(AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
(AT_INIT): Adjust.
Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
* 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.
2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
* m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
(m4_car2): New.
(m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
* doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
__PROTOTYPES too.
2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
From Jim Meyering.
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
processed only if present.

instead of successive calls to autoconf.
Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

File::Spec.
Use and export them.

Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
used.
Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
Reported by Ezra Peisach.
2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
(&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
(&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
2001-11-03 01:35:50 +08:00

* configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
From Ezra Peisach.
Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
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.
2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
handles it now.
2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
provided, while it is optional.
* configure.ac: Adjust.
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.
2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

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.
2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* 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):
Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
* tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows
either behavior.

2001-09-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

enough.
Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.

now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
to getpgrp.

(AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to

added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.

* 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

2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
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
AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if

2001-09-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): `< /dev/null' so that GNU M4 1.5
doesn't neutralize SIGINT, making autoconf etc. non interruptible.

related variables into `at_package_*'.

2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
the wrong one.

4m.
2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

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'.

* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
inverse order.
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.

* bin/autoheader.in (%symbol): Strip arguments of macros.

need for autoconf.
Promote --include over --macrodir and other obsolete options.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in: Use them.

`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.

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.

* bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.

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/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.

Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
download in a tmp dir.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
case insensitive OSes out there :(

the name of the directory they're in, instead of the filename,
since version.m4 is now in m4sugar, but m4_acversion must not be
classified as an Autoconf macro.
($input_m4): Don't qualify the path to m4sugar.
Rather, pass autoconf_dir to m4.

2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Refer to `$as_me.log', not

2001-08-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
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.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
(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 `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
must be proposed to the users.
* bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
(@preselect): New.
(&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
(&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
* bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
lines arguments.
2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without
arguments.
2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
From Nicolas Joly.
2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.

(@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.
2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): Also forbid `_m4_*' tokens.
(m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
mismatch happens.
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
the appear in the output.
* lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
* tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
(autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
Check that `dnl' is caught.
2001-08-02 05:21:23 +08:00
2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* configure.ac: Bump to 2.52c.
