Some CVS tricks were used so that history is kept in both the top
directory, and in doc/.
* doc/Makefile.am: New file.
* Makefile.am: Adjusted.
* configure.in: Adjusted.
* autoconf.texi: Moved from here to...
* doc/autoconf.texi: here.
* make-stdts.texi: Likewise.
* install.texi: Likewise.
* texinfo.tex: Likewise.
Reported by Erez Zadok.
* tests/torture.m4 (config.status under extreme conditions):
Reorganized. Because files required by this test were created
outside the pair AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP, when the test fails and
autotest extracts this test, the `debug' script does not contain
the files it needs. Now AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP encloses the full
auto contained section.
Reported by Franc,ois Pinard and Rainer Orth.
* autoreconf.sh: Removed spurious `;;'.
Formatting changes.
* tests/tools.m4 (Syntax of the scripts): Run `sh -n' on all the
shell scripts.
Also remove trailing blanks.
* tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Use sed instead of cat.
* tests/torture.m4: No longer check for a trailing space.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
They're back to save the world.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O,
AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG,
AC_FUNC_MKTIME, AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE, AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Blast
that jelly o' changequote. Set the quotes free.
From Jim Meyering.
* autoheader.sh (usage): The usage is to use $0 here.
(ah_base): Be in TMPDIR.
Install the `trap' before creating the first tmp file.
Also trap on 0.
`configure', not `config.status', hence use `conftest' for tmp
files, not `$ac_cs_root'.
Removed forgotten developer comment.
Double quoting the whole body is nicer than just the part that
needs to be.
From Dan Ackroyd.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, AC_INIT_PREPARE,
AC_CACHE_SAVE, AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, AC_OUTPUT,
_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS, AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS, AC_OUTPUT_FILES,
_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Quit
playing with changequotes, @BKL@ and Co.! Just quote properly.
Test it.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Renamed as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): this. All callers changed.
Don't mess with changequote, just quote properly.
Bug 1. Because of the `#' in `ac_dA', the quotes <<>> were not
removed, and therefore the sed script contained `<<define>>'
instead of `define'. Now that the block is properly quoted, there
is no need to quote `define'.
Bug 2. Once a `#define' substitution performed, we were branching
to the top of the sed script (`t top'). This resulted in an
endless substitution of `#define foo 1' to `#define foo 1'.
Branching is not enough: you also have to fetch the next input
line, i.e., use `t' instead of `t t' in ac_dD, and don't output
`: top' in `config.defines'.
Though it was correct for `#undef' templates, just apply the same
transformation to `ac_uD' and `config.undefs'.
Bug 3. Don't try to preserve what was behind the value in the
template, since on
#define NAME "bar baz"
it leads to
#define NAME 1 baz"
Now `ac_dB' catches everything behind the NAME (making sure there
is at least a space) and `ac_dC' only outputs a space.
* tests/torture.m4: Check that various forms of `#define' header
templates are properly handled.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): It is smarter to use a
quoted here doc to output the section providing defaults for
CONFIG_*.
Don't rm the CONFIG_FILES here but in..
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES) [test -n "$CONFIG_FILES"]: here.
Hm, actually, no, just don't remove them at all, let the newly
created files replace the old ones, exactly as in
AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS.
From Graham Jenkins.
`AC_CHECK_TYPE',
Based on ideas from Paul Eggert and Alexandre Oliva.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Renamed as
(_AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW): this.
(AC_CHECK_TYPES): Adjusted.
(AC_CHECK_TYPE): Renamed as
(_AC_CHECK_TYPE_OLD): This. Adjusted to _AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW.
No longer support extra includes, stick to 2.13's interface.
(_AC_CHECK_TYPE_BUILTIN_P): New macro.
(AC_CHECK_TYPE): New macro.
* autoheader.m4 (autoheader::AC_CHECK_TYPE): Renamed as...
(autoheader::_AC_CHECK_TYPE_OLD): this.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Skip /^_AC_/ macros.
* tests/semantics.m4: Test the choices of AC_CHECK_TYPE (wrt _NEW
or _OLD implemenation).
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Types): Reorganized. Explain
everything about AC_CHECK_TYPE and Co.
AC_LINK_FILES($from, $to)
`$from' and `$to' can be lists, hence `AC_CONFIG_LINKS($to:$from)'
is wrong.
Reported by H.J. Lu.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Replace the m4-glue code from
AC_LINK_FILES to AC_CONFIG_LINKS, with sh-glue code.
Give a detailed update message.
(_AC_LINK_FILES_CNT): New variable. Initialize.
* tests/tools.m4 (autoupdate): No longer exercise `autoupdate'
with AC_LINK_FILES.
`configure' and `config.status'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Renamed as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): this.
Change the error messages from
value: invalid feature name
to
invalid feature: value
Invite the user to try --help for invalid options.
(AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Likewise.
(_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): This. All callers changed.
Disable the verbose message until Automake uses the new features
of `config.status'.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, getopt loop): Always define
ac_optarg as the rhs of the first `=', not only on `-.*=', so that
`configure var=val' defines ac_optarg=val.
Improve the robustness to shell special characters:
- Use grep when checking that shell variable names are valid.
- Quote the quotes in ac_optarg before `eval var='$ac_optarg''.
- Quote the quotes when building ac_configure_args.
* tests/torture.m4: Test that `./configure foo=bar' works properly.
* acgeneral.m4 (AU_DEFINE): New macros, pulled out from AU_DEFUN.
Defines a macro in `autoupdate::' with all the required wrapping
for `autoupdate'.
(AU_DEFUN): Use it.
(AC_OUTPUT): When dispatching your arguments, use ifval, not
ifset!
Dispath actions to AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS not AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, to
avoid unneeded warnings for obsolete use of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS.
(autoupdate::AC_OUTPUT): New macro.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Writing configure.in, the example): Don't
advocate AC_OUTPUT with args.
(Output, AC_OUTPUT with args): Simplify the documentation, and
provide the translation into the new scheme.
Propagate what remained into the proper sections.
