* tests/local.at: Require 2.57.
(AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't m4_default the arguments that
are defaulted by AT_CHECK anyway.
Use AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: There should be no output at all: add a
missing dnl.
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.
Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
(xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
* tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
63 for version mismatches.

Override SHELL with the shell detected by configure.

to cope with DOS-style absolute paths, when constructing
${ac_make}.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES):
When constructing paths with IFS=:, quote the path. If we're

(_AS_QUOTE): Accept $2 as list of characters to quote.
* lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
Quote for Perl, not sh.
* bin/autoheader.in: When $debug, report the file which is
`do'ne.
* tests/tools.at (autom4te, autoheader): Exercise @bar, not merely
`@', to tickle Perl's lists.
Reported by Carlos Velasco.
Fixes the `AC_ARG_VAR' test failures.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Don't use cmp.

files. Rather, at M4 call sites, use this...
(&files_to_options): New function.
(&freeze): Use &error.
(&up_to_date): If a file that was included according to the cache
is no longer there, then the output is out dated.
(&main): Don't even check whether a file is up to date is anyway
--force is given.
* tests/tools.at (autom4te cache): New.
* bin/autoupdate.in (&parse_args): Kill old options.
* bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Remove dead options.
Factor some code.
(&autoreconf): Report the directories we enter *and leave*, so
that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
if some file was changed instead of `print'.
* bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.
(&parse_args): Remove the dead options.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Adjust to the new
autoheader's quiet mode.
(AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Likewise.
* tests/tools.at (autoupdate): Adjust.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
the two last configure runs, using two different sets of

* lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4: Include it.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Use AN_FUNCTION for all the functions
that were listed in the original autoscan.list.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Similarly with headers.
* lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.
(.m4.m4f): Don't pass --prepend-include, since that's done by
tests/autom4te itself.
* lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
(autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
(autoscan.pre): New file.

`--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
* tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
cases.
(&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):

* doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Explain it.
From Oliver Kiddle and Peter Stephenson.
Have M4sh perform minimal shell sanitizing.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.at (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Split the `_AS_PREPARE_*'
part into...
(_AS_PREPARE): this new macro.
(AS_PREPARE): New.
(AS_INIT): Invoke AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
* tests/m4sh.at (AT_DATA_LINENO): Use _AS_PREPARE.
Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
Invoke _AS_PREPARE (not AS_PREPARE) in addition to
AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
* tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
* tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
on Autotest and M4sh.
($(TESTSUITE)): Use $(autotest_m4f_dependencies).
(wrapsh.in): New target.
* bin/autoconf.as: New, precursor of autoconf.in.
(autoconf.in): New target.
(_AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_LINK): New.
Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
Extracted from...
(AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
(AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
Adjust.
Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
results in failures being hidden.
Use m4_defn where appropriate.
(AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
after the second argument.
Use m4_defn.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.
* tests/torture.at (Multiple AC_CONFIG_FILES): New.
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.

(AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
* tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
Remove, replaced by...
* tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
* configure.ac: Adjust.
* lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
(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.

(AT_INIT): Replace AC_PLAIN_SCRIPT with AS_INIT invocation,
include handle the m4_pattern_*, no longer push the

* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
* tests/base.at: Adjust the tests to use AS_INIT.
* tests/tools.at (AT_DATA_FORBIDDEN): New.
(autoconf: forbidden tokens): Adjust to work on M4sh instead of
Autoconf.

(AC_PROG_CPP requires AC_PROG_CC): here and...
* tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.

(Test Programs): AC_TRY_RUN works as used to be advertised.
ac_buildpath, ac_top_buildpath, ac_srcpath, and ac_top_srcpath.
(_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Also substitute srcpath, top_srcpath,
builddir, buildpath, top_builddir, and top_buildpath.
(_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Compute the dir variables *before* changing
the current directory.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Compute the dir
variables *before* changing the current directory.
Skip nonexistent dirs.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Preset Output Variables): Document these
variables.
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Do not reset AT_victims.
Don't compute at_srcdir nor at_top_srcdir.
