Don't use nested parenthesization. This patch was originally
suggested to bug-autoconf by Philippe De Muyter on 2000-05-28,
but somehow it didn't get incorporated then.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
Clarify remark about sed and nested parenthesization.

Report an error if the size cannot be determined even though
the type exists.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
Check for `expr' arithmetic overflow, and for compilation failure,
and invoke a new argument $4 if either is discovered.
This makes _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE more like _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
(_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Pass IF-FAILS arg to _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE.

This makes _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE more like _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
(_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Pass IF-FAILS arg to _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE.
(AT_TESTED): this.
(AT_INIT): More the wrapped section to where it will be expanded.
Output `AT_tested' only when existing.
Catch unexpanded PACKAGE_STRING and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.

* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Pass the right exit
status when executing the ACTION-IF-FALSE.
* tests/base.at (AC_TRY_*): Rename as...
(AC_TRY_COMMAND): this.
(AC_RUN_IFELSE): New.
* tests/compile.at (Extensions, C keywords)
(AC_PROG_CPP requires AC_PROG_CC, GNU Fortran 77)
(Broken/missing compilers, AC_PROG_CPP with warnings)
(AC_PROG_CPP without warnings, AC_PROG_CPP via CC): Move to...
* tests/c.at (Extensions, C keywords)
(Broken/missing compilers, AC_PROG_CPP with warnings)

(AC_PROG_CPP requires AC_PROG_CC): here and...
* tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.
* doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.
(Test Programs): AC_TRY_RUN works as used to be advertised.
Raja R Harinath:
Be sure to detect when $LINENO always returns the same value.
Look for the original script, basename($0) is certainly not
enough.
Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.
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.

the current directory.

variables *before* changing the current directory.
Skip nonexistent dirs.

Remove.

* tests/Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES, EXTRA_DIST): Adjust.
* configure.ac: Build the position independent wrappers.
* man/Makefile.am: Now that test wrappers are position
independent, use them and drop dark envvar magic.
Pass $at_debug_args to the rerun test suite.
* lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): New.
* bin/Makefile.am (ETAGS_SH): Don't use characters ranges.
From Paul Eggert.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Provide some form of
`$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
(_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke
them explicitly to be sure they are not output before this section
(via m4_require). Cosmetic only.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Replace all the occurrences of
`__oline__' with `$LINENO'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document LINENO.

PATH_SEPARATOR.
(Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.

New node, documenting AS_DIRNAME.
(Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
