new complexity. Only expand the substitution templates at
configure time, for smaller configure script size. If

Use better wording to talk about AC_PROG_MKDIR_P's thread-safety.
Don't use the term "thread-safe" to talk about mkdir race
conditions, since the problem is more a process than a thread
issue. Problem reported by Stepan Kasal in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2006-05/msg00088.html
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): Use code that mimics
the test for 'install' more closely. Look at MKDIR_P first.
Look in the PATH, and at /opt/sfw/bin.
Look for a 'gmkdir' program as well (Solaris 10 /opt/sfw/bin/gmkdir).
Don't bother to try mkdir -p, since we already check mkdir --version;
just look at the version number. (There's no easy way to check
for race-free implementations.)
* tests/tools.at (autoconf: subdirectories): Adjust to above
changes, since MKDIR_P now might end in "/mkdir -p".
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Chars in Variables): New section.

(AC_TRY_EVAL, AC_TRY_COMMAND): Mention that these macros might get
removed.

exposed by quoting of eval argument. Put the command on line line
so it logs better.
* lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): Use eval more safely.
(_AC_PATH_X, AC_PATH_X): Quote more safely.

Warn about obsolete install-sh files. Remove stray sentence
fragment and fix cross reference.

install -d; this undoes the 2006-05-10 change.
(MKDIR_P): Mark with AN_MAKEVAR.
(AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): Fall back on $ac_install_sh, not $INSTALL, so
that we don't require $INSTALL to be thread-safe. Move comments
out of generated code. Require AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT instead
of AC_PROG_INSTALL. Output a message saying that we're checking
mkdir -p. Set MKDIR_P rather than mkdir_p. Do special magic for
MKDIR_P instead of AC_SUBST.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE, _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
Special magic for MKDIR_P, too.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P): Remove comment that defeated
a dnl.
* tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_ENV): mkdir_p -> MKDIR_P.
* config/install-sh: Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
as per GNU coding standards. Close a race condition reported by Ralf
Wildenhues and Stepan Kasal. There is still a race condition
on hosts that predate POSIX 1003.1-1992, but we can't help this.
Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-POSIX hosts.
Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-POSIX hosts.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Cross-reference to
AC_PROG_MKDIR_P from AS_MKDIR_P.
(Limitations of Usual Tools): Cross-reference to AC_PROG_MKDIR_P
from mkdir. Mention that Autoconf 2.60 install-sh is safe but
earlier editions are not (including Automake 1.8.3).
Do not suggest mkinstalldirs for thread-safety.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P): Make it more robust in the
presence of special characters and race conditions.
* tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_ENV): Add mkdir_p to the list of variables
in Autoconf's name space.
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): New macro, taken
from Automake with minor changes.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
munge (multiple) white space and other oddities.
* tests/torture.at (AT_CHECK_AC_ARG_VAR): Make sure to M4-escape

special characters.
Report and different test suggested by Francesco Romani
<fromani@gmail.com> and Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org>.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Comment out the
documentation of AS_BASENAME, for now.

AS_VAR_SET_DIRNAME and AS_VAR_SET_BASENAME.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document this. All uses
changed. The newer interfaces are more reliable, as they allow
implementations that handle trailing newline correctly. For now,
we're in a freeze, so I did not include the more-reliable
implementations, but I wanted to correct the interface before 2.60
goes out.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_REQUIRED): Renamed from

Test the new API. Don't test internals, since they're probably
going to change anyway.
(AS_VAR_SET_BASENAME): Likewise, renamed from AS_BASENAME.
* bin/autoconf.as: Don't use AS_BASENAME or AS_DIRNAME. This
removes a bootstrapping problem with the changes described above.
The AS_DIRNAME part wasn't used, anyway, and the AS_BASENAME
part can be done portably without all the deep Autoconf magic.

The main change is that CONFIG_FILES, CONFIG_HEADERS, CONFIG_LINKS,
and CONFIG_COMMANDS are not processed in four separate loops.
Instead, there is one main loop. This alows that the common code
is expanded only once, thus config.status (and configure) is smaller.
The registration mechnism in AC_CONFIG_FILES and cousins also changed;
the AC_LIST_FILES and cousins macros are no longer used.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS,
_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Renamed to ...
(_AC_OUTPUT_FILE, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADER, _AC_OUTPUT_LINK,

(_AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP): ... this new macro, called from
_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS.
(_AC_CONFIG_SPLIT, _AC_CONFIG_SPLIT_SOURCE_DEST, _AC_CONFIG_SPLIT_FILE_IN):
Nuked; the code was merged into _AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP.
(_AC_OUTPUT_FILE): The creation of the sed script ...
(AC_OUTPUT): ... and the setup of ac_vpsub goes to ...
(_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): ... a new macro, also called from

(AC_LIST_FILE_COMMANDS, AC_LIST_HEADER_COMMANDS, AC_LIST_LINK_COMMANDS,
AC_LIST_COMMAND_COMMANDS): Replaced by this ...
(_AC_LIST_TAG_COMMANDS): ... new common macro.
(_AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_INIT): Moved top to the `registration' section;
this didn't belong to the `config commands' section.
(_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_INIT): Don't initialize, m4_ifdef is our friend.
(AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE, AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE,
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST): Moved to a new section, these didn't belong
to the `config commands' section either.
(AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Don't touch diversion DEFAULTS.
(_AC_LIST_SUBDIRS): Don't initialize, m4_ifdef is our friend.
... and many changes to the comments nearby.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): At the end of the day,

* tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_FILES, HEADERS, LINKS and COMMANDS):
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS(command:input,...) is no longer allowed.
(#define header templates): The comment at the top of the generated
header now includes the name(s) of the source file(s).
Several unrelated small changes:
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Be didactic, quote the first
parameter to AC_DIAGNOSE.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Likewise.
(_AC_LINK_FILES_CNT): Don't AU_DEFUN this; it causes confusing messages
with autoupdate; use m4_define_default inside AU_DEFUNed AC_LINK_FILES.
(AC_OUTPUT): In the compatibility code, use m4_ifvaln, to be consistent
with AU::AC_OUTPUT.
(AU::AC_OUTPUT): Don't double-quote $2 and $3, the compatibility code
in AC_OUTPUT doesn't double-quote it either.
* tests/tools.at (autoupdate): AU::AC_OUTPUT no longer double-quotes the
parameters.
(AS_VERSION_COMPARE): New macro. The API is taken from CVS,
but the implementation is entirely different and is designed

/dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this insulates
us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl"). Also, do this

excess test name quoting.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_OLD, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): Pass
CPPFLAGS to `configure' instead of setting it in `configure'.
Update the long comment explaining it.
m4_require no longer writes an ``is required by'' line to the
execution stack. It contains only one bit of non-redundant
information: that the macro was required, not called. And even
this bit is useless in most situations: have you ever met a macro
which both calls and requires the same macro?
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_defun_pro): Don't push a diversion...

There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4

spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
(its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
