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.
* 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.
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'.
* autoconf.sh: Give your name while reporting errors.
Don't spit --help for errors on arguments.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
More temporary files that one can browse when debugging.
Don't ${var}, just $var.
Don't dump --help when the arguments are invalid.
(config_h): Use the empty value instead of `undefined' to check
that it is defined.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
* 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.
condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
Don't document the autoheader template twice, one is enough.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): don't hook on this guy, but
on...
(AC_CONFIG_HEADERS), since the former is defined on the latter.
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.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_THING): define, not AC_DEFUN.
Don't AC_PROVIDE, there is no need.
When calling `config.sub`, also || exit 1, to catch failures from
config.sub.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Use ac_val, not val.
(AC_EXEEXT): Use ac_file, not file.
* tests/actest.m4: New file, holding extra Autoconf macros used
during the testing.
(AC_ENV_SAVE): New macro, save the sh variables in a file.
* tests/suite.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO, Generation of configure.in):
include actest.m4, and call twice AC_ENV_SAVE to compare the
variables before and after the macro.
* tests/Makefile.am (macro.m4): Don't test macros that are
required: they will be tested somewhere else.
extern software (so that the test suite doesn't fail on them).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Allow an
optional $2: exit status.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Document.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, PROG_CXX_WORKS,
AC_PROG_F77_WORKS): Exit 77 if the compiler does not work.
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.
Require GNU m4 1.4 (well 1.3 in fact).
Because we are ready to handle the case where there are no frozen
files, we *have* to pass a -I, which is dangerous in conjunction
with the silent including of `aclocal.m4': you may include things
that were not expected. Since anyway handling pre 1.3 complicates
the task, just require an m4 which supports reloading of frozen
files.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): Check for --reload.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* configure.in: Explicitly state the m4 version you want.
No need for foo="`bar`", foo=`bar` is fine.
Simplify ${foo} and ${1} into $foo and $1.
* acgeneral.m4 (ac_LF_and_DOT): Remove the double quotes.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O): Likewise.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Remove all the code and messages related to
AC_MACRODIR, since ifnames is not related to macros in anyway.
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.
Fix the compatibility of the compiling macros with C++.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Use
`int main () {...}', instead of `main () {...}'.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID,
AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_GETPGRP, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP, AC_FUNC_VFORK,
AC_FUNC_WAIT3, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL,
AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP, AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED,
AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE, AC_C_BIGENDIAN, AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS):
Likewise.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Call
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(fnmatch.h), and include fnmatch.h in the compiled
code.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_COMPILE_CHECK, AC_TRY_COMPILE,
AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE, AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use @PND@ instead of
[#]: it looses the editors that try to match the pairs of (), []
etc.
Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
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_.
* configure: Regenerate.
* aclocal.m4: New generated file.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake.
* testsuite/Makefile.in: Likewise.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Use Automake. Based on files from Ben Elliston.
* acgeneral.m4: No longer define AC_ACVERSION, include
acversion.m4.
* acversion.m4.in: New AC_CONFIG_FILE.
* acspecific.m4: Few formating changes.
* autoconf.texi: No longer define EDITION, VERSION and UPDATED:
include version.texi.
AC_OUTPUT the Makefiles mentioned below and acversion.m4.
* configure.in: Use AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
Do not AC_ARG_PROGRAM: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE does it.
* Makefile.am: New file.
* mdate-sh: Likewise.
* missing: Likewise.
* testsuite/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* testsuite/autoconf.s/defines.exp: Changed `fail' and `pass' in
`xfail' and `xpass'. The testsuite checks that acconfig.h
templates the AC_DEFINEs. Since we no longer rely on acconfig.h,
the test is obsolete.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_BINSH, AC_PROG_SED): Don't quote the name
of the macro defined; the testsuite does not recognize this
syntax. From Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Check for the kstat_open()
function in libkstat (on systems such as Solaris). This family of
functions is preferred since they don't require setgid permissions
to use them. Fix for autoconf/65.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Define ISLOWER and ISUPPER
macros correctly on EBCDIC systems. Contributed by Kurt D.
Zeilenga <kurt@openldap.org>. Fix for autoconf/6.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): set INSTALL_SCRIPT to
${INSTALL} so that automake doesn't propogate install time flags
for INSTALL_PROGRAM into INSTALL_SCRIPT.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT): Do not consider `.xcoff' as a
possible executable filename extension. Contributed by Robert
S. Maier <rsm@math.arizona.edu>.
* standards.texi: Update from FSF.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Avoid using the installation
script belonging to HP `pwplus' when running the install
program. Contributed by Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
and Dave Adams <adams@hpesdwa.fc.hp.com>.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Substitute @CXXCPP@ correctly
when $CXXCPP is overridden in the supervisory shell. Contributed
by Michael Schoene <mrs@mlc.de>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_FORTRAN77): Remove [] (i.e. the m4 quotes)
since it was confusing the testsuite. Also make `f77' the default
for FC, otherwise the testsuite fails.
* autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler Characteristics): Added new
node documenting the new AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS macro.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): New macro to determine
the linker flags (e.g. `-L' and `-l') for the Fortran 77 intrinsic
and run-time libraries.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): New macro. Detects the
types of formal arguments to select(). Contributed by Lars Hecking
<lhecking@nmrc.ucc.ie>.
* acconfig.h (SELECT_TYPE_ARG1): Add.
(SELECT_TYPE_ARG234): Likewise.
(SELECT_TYPE_ARG5): Likewise.
* acconfig.h (FC_NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O): Add to complete the Fortran
77 support.
Tue Sep 8 14:06:04 1998 Matthew D. Langston <langston@SLAC.Stanford.EDU>
* acgeneral.m4: Make the following macros Fortran 77 aware
(i.e. conditionalize whether to `#include "confdefs.h"', etc.):
(AC_TRY_COMPILE)
(AC_TRY_LINK)
(AC_CHECK_LIB)
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_FORTRAN77): Rename `AC_LANG_FORTRAN' to
`AC_LANG_FORTRAN77'. Change the Fortran 77 language macro from
`FORTRAN' to `FORTRAN77'.
(AC_LANG_RESTORE): Change the Fortran 77 language macro from
`FORTRAN' to `FORTRAN77'
* autoconf.texi: Updated Fortran 77 documentation, particularly
for `AC_TRY_COMPILE', `AC_TRY_LINK' and `AC_CHECK_LIB'.
Thu Sep 3 09:34:39 1998 Matthew D. Langston <langston@SLAC.Stanford.EDU>
* autoconf.texi: Added Fortran 77 documentation.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): New macro. Determine a Fortran
compiler to use.
(AC_PROG_FC_WORKS): New macro.
(AC_PROG_FC_GNU): New macro.
(AC_PROG_FC_G): New macro.
(AC_PROG_FC_C_O): New macro.
* acgeneral.m4: Add FFLAGS (Fortran 77 flags).
(AC_LANG_FORTRAN): New macro.
(AC_LANG_RESTORE): Make Fortran 77 aware.
(AC_TRY_COMPILER): Make Fortran 77 aware (i.e. conditionalize
whether to `#include "confdefs.h"').
* acspecific.m4 (AC_C_STRINGIZE): New macro to test the
availability of the stringizing operator in the C preprocessor.
Contributed by Arnold Robbins <arnold@gnu.org> on behalf of the
GNU AWK project.
* acconfig.h (HAVE_STRINGIZE): Add for the AC_C_STRINGIZE macro.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT): Correct setting of ac_exeext when
there is no extension.
Mon Jun 1 12:30:39 1998 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Likewise.
(AC_PROG_CC): On cygwin32, if neither gcc nor cc
are found, look for cl.
(AC_PROG_CXX): Look for cl after all other choices.
Thu May 28 18:37:36 1998 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
Add support for Visual C++:
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Check whether compiler supports -g
even if it is not gcc.
(AC_PROG_CXX): Likewise.
(AC_PROG_CPP): Try running the compiler with the -nologo option.
(AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): Check for _MSC_VER. Use ac_objext.
(AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Use ac_objext.
(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS): Likewise.
(AC_OBJEXT): New macro.
(AC_CYGWIN32, AC_MINGW32, AC_EXEEXT): New macros.
Thu Apr 30 16:29:00 1998 Syd Polk <spolk@cygnus.com>
* acspecific.m4 (SETPGRP_VOID): The test for setpgrp needs
to have unistd.h included or the DEC compiler does not
flag the error that triggers setting the variable.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): If $TMPDIR names an
existing, writable directory, then test it instead of /tmp, /var/tmp,
and /usr/tmp for long file name support.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Fix name of -lelf cache variable
name in test of it.
(AC_PATH_XTRA): Fix name of -ldnet cache variable name in test of it.
