b7c676e580 * aclang.m4 (AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED): Use the new compiler-test

36a549b7ac Currently, AC_PROG_LN_S incorrectly reports yes with DJGPP. This
is because the DJGPP `ln' emulates soft links for executables by
generating a stub that in turn calls the real program.  This
feature also works with nonexistent files like in the Unix
spec. So `ln -s X conftestdata' will generate `conftestdata.exe'
which will attempt to call 'X.exe'. But this feature only works
for executables.  Fix it.

* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_LN_S): Create a sample file and use it to
test `ln -s'.

0705110354 The options --build etc. used to set `$build'. *If*
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM was run, then the value of `$build' given by
the user was saved into `$build_alias', and `$build' was
normalized using `config.sub'.

Now, let `--build' set `$build_alias' so that scripts with or
without `AC_CANONICAL_BUILD' have the same semantics.  This allows
to use `AC_CHECK_TOOL' without requiring `config.guess' and
`config.sub' (which was bizarre anyway).

* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): --build, --host and --target
set `build_alias' etc.
After the option handling, set host to $host_alias etc. for
bugward compatibility.
(AC_CANONICALIZE): Mutate into...
(_AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT): this, which does not canonicalize, it just
computes `$foo_os' etc.
(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Remove, too confusing.
(AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Adjust.
Do not assign any value to `build_alias', just compute `build', and
`build_{cpy, vendor, os}'.
(AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Likewise.
(AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): Fire your rule when `$host_alias' is
given, not when `$host != $build'.

* acgeneral.m4 (sinclude): Fix typo.

2200cf61c9 Start the language support overhaul: Introduce AC_LANG().
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG): Renamed as _AC_LANG_CURRENT.
(AC_LANG, AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(FORTRAN77)): New
macros.
(AC_LANG_C, AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS, AC_LANG_FORTRAN): AU_DEFUN'ed.
Adjust all callers.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Remove the exceeding
AC_LANG_RESTORE.
* tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Add AC_LANG.

1a1ee72ec1 Speed ups.
* libm4.m4 (m4_append, m4_list_append): Use m4_define, not define.
On my machine the former implementation takes 4mn 40s to run the
test suite.  Using m4_define leads to 4mn 15s.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SUBST): Use AC_EXPAND_ONCE (which uses
m4_define, not define).  4mn.
(_AC_DIVERT): Don't use m4_case.  Starting from those 4mn, if you
just move NORMAL* first in m4_case, the test suite is run in 3mn.
If instead of using m4, you use an `associative array' plus a
wrapper (current implementation), it falls to 2mn.

6a80cc62e0 Uniform idioms.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS,
_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Prefer

over
for i in .. $is; do if test $i != ..; then

bb03a37786 Give a means to compute `srcdir' earlier in configure.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): New macro, pulled out from...
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): No longer compute `srcdir'.
(_AC_INIT): Use _AC_INIT_SRCDIR.
(AC_INIT): Don't forget to pass the argument to _AC_INIT.

264330cef7 Give an identity to `configure' scripts.

when you want.

6d877fe7a1 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Don't test for existence
of $ac_xdir.  Not only is `test -e' not portable, but the test isn't
necessary at all;  the following mkdir ends up accomplishing the
same goal.  Suggestion from Alexandre Oliva.

aac61512e0 In Autoconf 2.13, although AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS did double quote its
arguments, AC_OUTPUT arguments 2 and 3 were not!  Currently,
AC_OUTPUT over quotes too: stop that.
Reported by Martin Buchholz.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Don't expand on the ternary
AC_OUTPUT.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't over quote $2 and $3.

75b5d70be3 Install the IFS we need once for all.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT): New macro.
Handle the NLS envvars, and IFS.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use it, no longer set the NLS envvars.
(_AC_WHICH_A, AC_PATH_PROG): Rely on the default IFS.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES):
Likewise.

5b50a54f8f * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP, AC_EGREP_CPP, AC_TRY_COMPILE,

remove them at the end of the macro.

cbccb222a2 Revamp AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use a single cache
variable instead of three.
Use AC_CACHE_CHECK.
Shorten the name of the var loops, they are no longer cached.
Include sys/types.h unconditionally.
`select' returns an int, fixes Autoconf/46.
Don't display parens in the user messages.

870e58847d * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_BINSH): Remove, useless now that...
(AC_REVISION): Require AC_INIT, not _AC_INIT_BINSH.
(AC_INIT): Do what _AC_INIT_BINSH used to.
Don't require _AC_INIT_VERSION, just call it.
Rename as _AC_INIT.
(AC_INIT): New macro, single expansion wrapper around _AC_INIT.
(_AC_COPYRIGHT_SEPARATOR): New.
(AC_COPYRIGHT): Use it.
Require AC_INIT, not _AC_INIT_VERSION.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Versions): Promote as first section of
`Setup'.
Rename as `Notices'.
Document AC_COPYRIGHT.
Don't give false reasons for placing AC_REVISION before AC_INIT,
the place no longer matters.

22e43e84f4 * acgeneral.m4: s/@%:@line __oline__/#line __oline__/g. __oline__

00121046aa * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When there were no
CONFIG_FILES, we had to expand _AC_OUTPUT_FILES into the KILL
diversion, because it is AC_OUTPUT_FILES which undiverted the
AC_SUBST sed script at its proper place, otherwise it would have
been undiverted at the end of `configure', leading to an sh syntax
error.
Now that we no longer use a diversion, we don't need to call
AC_OUTPUT_FILES if useless.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_FILES.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS.

a892defcb3 AC_ARG_PROGRAM must not be expanded twice, which is likely since
Automake calls it, and usually users do too.  If it happens,
`--program-prefix=g' actually prepend two (or more) `g'.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN_ONCE): New macro.
(AC_ARG_PROGRAM): AC_DEFUNed_ONCE.  Or is it AC_DEFUN_ONCE'd? :).
No longer AC_EXPAND_ONCE the help string, the macro itself is
expanded at most once.
Rename the here-doc tag EOF_SED as EOF.

6b95f3a59e Simplify the diversions naming system.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva and Lars J. Aas

* libm4.m4 (ifndef): New macro.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): New macro, maps a diversion name to
its value.  The diversions now have a short name, e.g., `NOTICE',
instead of the former macros which had long names, e.g.,
`AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE'.
(AC_DIVERT_PUSH): Adjust.
(AC_DIVERT_POP): Use ifndef.
(AC_DIVERSION_CURRENT): Rename as `AC_DIVERT_DIVERSION' to stay
within the `AC_DIVERT' name domain.
Adjust all callers.
* acspecific.m4: Adjust all callers.

Akim Demaille
47f8108881 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Added some missing
headers if they exist (needed for some missing prototypes) and
corrects the signal handler prototype/definition.  The signal
handler prototype is now prepended with an `extern "C"' for C++
compilers since some platforms explicitly require an `extern "C"'
signal handler.

fa98a48d2f The argument of AC_COPYRIGHT should be plain text, not an sh
comment.

* libm4.m4 (m4_quote): s/$@/$*/.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Prepend `# ' to the lines that goes
on the top of `configure'.  Actually, prepend `@%:@ ' so that
there are as many evaluations on both sides.
(_AC_INIT_VERSION): No longer strip `# '.
2000-03-08 16:13:32 +00:00
Akim Demaille
2e59cf5180 Provide a means to specify more Copyright information in
`configure'.  And after all, it suits to `configure --version' too.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS, AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PREPARE):
New diversion numbers.
(AC_DIVERSION_INIT): Renamed as...
(AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): this.
(AC_DIVERT_POP): Instead of going into wild endless loops when
there are more pops than pushes, die with dignity.
(AC_COPYRIGHT): New macro.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Move definition of `ac_includes_default' from
here...
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): to here.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Remove.
(AC_INIT): Use it to install Autoconf's Copyright.
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): New macro.
(AC_INIT): Use it.
(AC_PREFIX_DEFAULTS): Dump in AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS.
(_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Dump in AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PREPARE.

there is no AC_DEFUN associated with the text to expand.
(_AC_ARG_ENABLE_HELP_PROLOGUE, _AC_ARG_WITH_HELP_PROLOGUE,
_AC_ARG_VAR_HELP_PROLOGUE): Remove, instead...
