eb835e21d2 Introduce a concept index, and update a bit the documentation.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Concept Index): New section.
Various entries added.
(Typedefs): Renamed as...
(Types): this.  Pay attention to not limiting the documentation to
the typedefs.
(Particular Types): Mention the equivalent generic test.
Promote the GNU coding style at various places.

c7eb9bd99e Revamp the autoupdate/AC_OBSOLETE chain. All the details are
given in the prologue of acobsolete.m4.

* acgeneral.m4 (Prologue): Enter the `autoconf' name space.
(AU_DEFUN): New macro.

* autoupdate.m4: New file.
Disable the name spaces `autoconf', and `libm4'.  Disable libm4.
* Makefile.am: Tuned to support the changes above.

* autoupdate.sh: Model after autoconf.sh.
Can run on several files at once (for instance m4/*.m4).
Don't touch files that are up to date.
Run m4 on autoupdate.m4f instead of playing with sed.


Use AU_DEFUN.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES, AC_ENABLE, AC_WITH): Use AU_DEFUN,
remove the call to AC_OBSOLETE.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CYGWIN32): Likewise.
* acoldnames.m4: Replaced all the definitions via `define' or
`AC_DEFUN' to use `AU_DEFUN'.

435c0e5aa9 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): m4 1.4 is now required.
(Invoking autoconf): A better help on --trace.
(Defining Symbols): Advocate a proper use of the quotes in m4
code, including if the quotes are sometimes useless.  It is bad,
very bad not to quote properly, so quote all the examples
properly.
(Cache Files): Use a unary call to define, instead of an empty
$2.
(Using System Type): Watch out TeX wrapping.
(Pretty Help Strings): Don't give too long a snippet of --help.
Promote the coding style of Autoconf.  Quote properly.

bfe8456484 Use the style we promote.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Promote #if over #ifdef;
and #undef over #define in templates.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST, AC_FUNC_MMAP,
AC_FUNC_SETPGRP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use #if,
not #ifdef and #ifndef, indent CPP directives.

b519547b61 AC_CHECK_SIZEOF: Fix a bug, use standard default headers, and
test.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Don't over quote $1, some []
were left in the C code, and had the macro fail.
Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Mention default includes.  Explain stdio.h
must always be given.

* tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Updated the list of
exceptions.
(AT_CHECK_DEFINES): New macro, to check the content of config.h.

6bc62513f5 * acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Don't changequote, there is no need
for it.  Just quote properly!
condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
AC_REQUIRE AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
Fix slightly the display of the result (formerly the first run
says `none needed', and later, because of the cache `no').
(AC_C_INLINE, AC_C_VOLATILE): AC_REQUIRE AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
* doc/autoconf.texi (AC_C_CONST): Give a few hints on the
motivation for trusting the C++ compilers.

3c2a8f9b09 Start a new series of tests which check the semantics.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): It is not smart to define
ac_Foo, and use AC_Foo.  Got rid of AC_Member_Aggregate and
AC_Member_Member which were complicating more than simplifying.
(AC_CHECK_DECLS): Use m4 lists.
(AC_CHECK_TYPES): A comma was missing.
* autoheader.m4: (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Use m4 lists.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): AC_CHECK_DELCS uses m4
lists.
* tests/semantics.m4: New file.  Collection of semantical tests:
verify that the tests are positive and negative when appropriate.
Test AC_CHECK_MEMBERS, AC_CHECK_DECLS and AC_CHECK_TYPES.

34804a9d13 Introduce a means to distinguish failures of `configure' due to
extern software (so that the test suite doesn't fail on them).

f6dd7456f3 1999-11-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Introduce a new style of testing, independent from DejaGNU.


	Introduce the logistics.

	* configure.in: Initialize AT, and output tests/atconfig, and
	tests/Makefile.
	* m4/atconfig.m4: New file.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Adjusted.
	* aclocal.m4: Include atconfig.m4.
	* Makefile.am: Adjusted.
	* tests/Makefile.am: New file.
	* tests/atgeneral.m4: Likewise.
	* tests/atconfig.in: Likewise.


	Write tests.

	* tests/syntax.m4: New file, in charge of checking the validity of
	the sh code produced by the macros defined in acspecific.m4.
	acgeneral.m4 is not checked here, because these macros require
	arguments.
	* tests/suite.m4: New file.  Run syntax.m4.

91a9a99d16 1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
A test suite will be introduced which tries to run all the
	specific macros, but hasbeen'd macro make configure die with bad
	exit status.  So we wish to distinguish live macros from defunct
	macros at the moment they are AC_DEFUN'd, not in their body.  Hm,
	defunct, defunct... Hey!  That's a good name!

	* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUNCT): New macro, comparable to AC_DEFUN,
	but for macros which are no longer defined.  Replaces AC_HASBEEN.
	(AC_HASBEEN): Defunct.  Well, removed in fact.
	(AC_HAVE_LIBRARY): Don't use AC_DEFUN and AC_HASBEEN, just
	AC_DEFUNCT.
	* acspecific.m4 (AC_UNISTD_H, AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H, AC_DIR_HEADER,
	AC_INT_16_BITS, AC_LONG_64_BITS): Likewise.
	(AC_XENIX_DIR): It was defunct even before I declared it was: was
	depending upon AC_DIR_HEADER which is defunct.  So AC_DEFUNCT'ed
	now.
	(AC_DYNIX_SEQ, AC_IRIX_SUN, AC_SCO_INTL): While we're here, you
	too are defunct now.
	* autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Replace the documentation of
	AC_HASBEEN with that of AC_DEFUNCT.

Be kind to Automake: list the arguments of selected macros
	(for instance AC_SUBST will list each variable which may be
 	substitued).

	* autoconf.sh (--trace, --output): New options.
	Implement tracing of macros.
	trap also on 0, so that there is no need to rm here and there.
	* autoconf.texi (Output): Document --trace and --output.

Clean up the macros for testing members of aggregates.

	* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): FATAL if $1 has no dot in it.
	Use AC_INCLUDE_DEFAULTS.
	(AC_C_STRUCT_MEMBER): Removed.
	* acspecific.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Adapted to AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
	(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE, AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV): Adapted to
 	AC_CHECK_MEMBERS and obsoleted.
	(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS): Adapted to AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
	* autoconf.texi (AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE, HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV):
	Explain they are obsoleted, and how to migrate.
	(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS, AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Explain that the
 	AC_DEFINE changed (but the former #defines remain defined
 	currently).
	(AC_C_STRUCT_MEMBER): Removed, replaced by the definitions of
	AC_CHECK_MEMBER and AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.

	* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): New macro.  Expands in its
	argument if non empty, otherwise a default list of includes.
	(AC_CHECK_DECL, AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
	* autoconf.texi: Adjusted.

13527a7b56 1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Fix a bit of the brokenness of AC_CHECK_TYPE.

	* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): New macro, inspired from
 	the former AC_CHECK_TYPE.  This macro is exactly the one that
 	ought to be named AC_CHECK_TYPE: it just checks, and executes user
 	actions.  In the future, this macro ought to be renamed
 	AC_CHECK_TYPE.
	There is a big difference with the former AC_CHECK_TYPE: instead
 	of grepping in the headers, it tries to compile a variable
 	declaration.  This is both safer, slower, and better, since now we
 	can check for compiler types (e.g., unsigned long long).
	(AC_CHECK_TYPES): The looping and AC_DEFINEing version of the
 	previous macro.  Uses m4 loops.
	(AC_CHECK_TYPE): Reimplemented on top of AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL.
  	* autoheader.m4 (AH_CHECK_TYPE, AH_CHECK_TYPES): New macros,
 	hooked.
	* autoconf.texi (@ovar): New macro, for optional variables.
	(Generic Typedefs): Document AC_CHECK_TYPES.
	* autoheader.texi: (AH_CHECK_TYPE, AH_CHECK_TYPES): New macros.
	(Epilogue): Hooks them.

Create man pages for the executables.

	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `man' and prepend `.' so that
	executables be built before help2man is run.
	* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add man/Makefile.
	AC_MSG_ERROR, not AC_ERROR.
	Check for missing help2man.

 	etc.

Rename the family AC_NEED_DECL as AC_CHECK: it is more uniform,
	but keep defining NEED_FOO_DECL when `foo' is not declared.  Files
	not using Autoconf behave better when declarations lacks than when
	they are wrong.  So the unset position should off, hence #if NEEDS
	instead of #if !HAVE (which is triggered when HAVE is not set).

	* acgeneral.m4 (AC_NEED_DECL): Renamed as...
	(AC_CHECK_DECL): This.  Make sure the arguments are the usual
	IF-FOUND, IF-NOT-FOUND.
	(AC_NEED_DECLS, AC_CHECK_DECLS): Likewise.
	* autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Document the changes
 	aforementioned.
	* autoheader.m4 (AH_NEED_DECLS): Renamed as
	(AH_CHECK_DECLS): This.
	(AH_HOOKS): Hook AH_CHECK_DECLS on AC_CHECK_DECLS instead of
	_NEED_.

5aa38da39b 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
New macro: AC_CONFIG_FILES which is very much like AC_OUTPUT but
      that one associates commands to run when a config file is
      created.  For instance for a shell script `foo', one uses
      AC_CONFIG_FILES(foo, chmod +x foo).

      In addition, check that the same name is never used twice in
      config files, headers, subdirs and links.

      * acgeneral.m4 (m4_append): Don't insert new line between
      elements.
      (m4_list_append): New macro.
      (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): New macro which tests if a file is member
      of a config list.
      (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): New macro which ensures that a config file
      name is not yet used.
      (AC_CONFIG_HEADER, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Use
      AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE.

      * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_FILES): New macro.
      (AC_LIST_FILES): New list, which stores arguments of
      AC_CONFIG_LISTS the same as AC_LIST_LINKS stores AC_CONFIG_LINKS
      etc.
      (AC_OUTPUT): No longer rely on $1 to designate the config files:
      register them via AC_CONFIG_FILES.  All uses of $1 replaced by
      uses of AC_LIST_FILES.
      (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Run the commands associated to the
      CONFIG_FILES.

1999-10-01  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	Make the handling of the configuration links (AC_LINK_FILES)
	exactly the same as that of configurations files (AC_OUTPUT_FILES)
	and headers (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS).  As a result, it is sane to run
	        ./config.status src/libmy_lib
	or
	        CONFIG_LINKS=src/lib_mylib:lib/lib_mylib ./config.status
