workaround for ${1+"$@"}.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Explain it.
From Oliver Kiddle and Peter Stephenson.
Have M4sh perform minimal shell sanitizing.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.at (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Split the `_AS_PREPARE_*'
part into...
(_AS_PREPARE): this new macro.
(AS_PREPARE): New.
(AS_INIT): Invoke AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
* tests/m4sh.at (AT_DATA_LINENO): Use _AS_PREPARE.
Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
Invoke _AS_PREPARE (not AS_PREPARE) in addition to
AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
* tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
* tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
on Autotest and M4sh.
($(TESTSUITE)): Use $(autotest_m4f_dependencies).
(wrapsh.in): New target.
* bin/autoconf.as: New, precursor of autoconf.in.
(autoconf.in): New target.
(_AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_LINK): New.
Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
Extracted from...
(AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
(AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
Adjust.
Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
results in failures being hidden.
Use m4_defn where appropriate.
(AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
after the second argument.
Use m4_defn.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.
* tests/torture.at (Multiple AC_CONFIG_FILES): New.
(_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_REJECT): New.
Also recognize *.bb and *.bbg as compilation byproducts.
(_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT, _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O)
(_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): Use them.
Fixes Debian #138666.
(Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
(AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
presumably because of a buffer overrun.
and host is irrelevant.
(Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
(Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
* doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
useless.
(_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
evaluation is the current item.
(m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
`foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
$*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
the last...
(m4_lquote): New.
(m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
efficient.
(m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
(m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
(m4_cdr): New.
(_m4_foreach): Adjust.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
variable when looking for the prefix program.
Now it also works for shell variables.
Describe HP-UX cc bug workaround more accurately.
* lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast to long,
not unsigned long.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Check non-GCC
cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
to this file.
optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
(handle_m4): don't.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
(M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
(Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.
AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
`.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
useless.
* tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.
* config/auxdir.m4, config/cond.m4, config/depend.m4,
* config/init.m4, config/install-sh.m4, config/lispdir.m4,
* config/missing.m4, config/sanity.m4, config/select.m4,
* config/strip.m4: Remove, to ease sync'ing with any version of
Automake.
package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
configure.
* doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
* tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
arguments.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
(AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
* tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
Remove $filepath, useless.
(&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
variables, they are really part of the tokens.
Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
(&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
* doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
Remove, replaced by...
* tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
* configure.ac: Adjust.
* lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
directives.
(&scan_sh_file): Remove a duplicate pattern.
(&check_configure_ac): Use long options.
* lib/autoscan/headers (alloca.h): Check with AC_FUNC_ALLOCA.
* lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
at_top_builddir.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
`_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
(AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
* doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
* NEWS: Likewise.
(AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
(AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
option.
(AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
(_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
`suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
`at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
(at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
(AT_CHECK): Use them.
in PATH.
Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
suite.
Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
(AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
(AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
(AT_INIT): Adjust.
Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
* tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
`testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
are new variables.
Create the directories.
Use absolute paths for at- files.
(AT_CHECK): Adjust.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
* lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
`missing' itself contains variables.
that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
processed only if present.
* tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
instead of successive calls to autoconf.
Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
(&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
File::Spec.
Use and export them.
(&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
* bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
the arguments.
Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
(&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
* doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
(@export_forward_subs): New.
Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
(@EXPORT): Adjust.
* bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
used.
Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
Reported by Ezra Peisach.
passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
(&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
(&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
behavior.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
output and chmod failures.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document the above.
