AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS to the obsolete section,
and explain why and how to replace them.
* acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_WAIT3): Warn as obsolete.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Likewise.
(_AS_BROKEN_TEST_PREPARE): this.
(_AS_TEST_PREPARE): New dummy but working version of this macro.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Use AS_EXECUTABLE_P.
* acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Use conftest.mmap, not
conftestmmap.
(AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL): Use conftest.data, not conftestdata.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use conftest.make, not
conftestmake.
(_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): Use conftest.dir, not conftestdir.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM): Use conftest.sed, not
conftestsed.
* m4/sanity.m4: Use conftest.file, not conftestfile.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Guidelines for Test Programs): Suggest
using conftest.data, not conftestdata.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_RUN_IFELSE): Accept IF-CROSS-COMPILING.
(AC_TRY_RUN): Use it.
* acfunctions.m4: Start ousting AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_COMPILE.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_AIX, AC_MINIX, AC_ISC_POSIX): AC_BEFORE on
AC_COMPILE_IFELSE and AC_RUN_IFELSE.
(AC_PROG_CPP, AC_PROG_CXXCPP, AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL)
(_AC_PROG_CC_G, AC_PROG_CC_C_O, _AC_PROG_CXX_G, AC_PROG_CC_STDC):
Don't use `${CC-cc}' since now the AC_REQUIRE machinery guarantees
that $CC is defined. And if not, it's a bug which must be
observable.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Likewise.
configure.in maintainer, but discourage its use.
* acspecific.m4 (_AC_CYGWIN, _AC_MINGW32, _AC_EMXOS2): Rename as...
(AC_CYGWIN, AC_MINGW32, AC_EMXOS2): these.
AU defined on top of AC_CANONICAL_HOST and $host_os.
* tests/mktests.sh (update_exclude_list): Add AC_CYGWIN,
AC_MINGW32, and AC_EMXOS2.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT, AC_OBJEXT, _AC_EXEEXT, _AC_OBJEXT):
Move as...
* aclang.m4 (AC_EXEEXT, AC_OBJEXT, _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT)
(_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): these.
(_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Use _AC_LINK_IFELSE.
Don't depend upon $CYGWIN and the like.
(_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): Model after _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT.
Skip more extensions.
Use _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
alike: a loop over a sorted list of possible files.
Don't cleanup on errors, the trap will do it.
Cleanup when there are no errors.
(_AC_EXEEXT): Use the empty string instead of `no' as the cached
value.
Be sure to prefer `.exe' to `' when the two are observable.
Suggested by Lars and Earnie.
(_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES): this.
(AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Use AC_LANG_PROGRAM instead of
_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SOURCE, i.e., don't pass
_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES by default: this isn't desirable
when checking for fseeko.
(AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Pass AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES to
_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE, since it no longer does this for us.
whether fseeko and ftello are properly declared.
* acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO): New macro, which worries about
fseeko (and presumably ftello). Do not set _XOPEN_SOURCE; that
causes too many problems in practice.
* acfunctions (fteelo, fseeko): Trigger AC_FUNC_FSEEKO.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
The main difference is that the former requires AC_LANG_COMPILER.
* aclang (AC_LANG_PREPROC, AC_LANG_PREPROC(C), AC_LANG_PREPROC(C++))
(AC_LANG_PREPROC(Fortran 77), AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE): New
macros. Issue a warning when looking for the Fortran 77
preprocessor instead of an error.
(AC_LANG_COMPILER): Check that it is run before the corresponding
AC_LANG_PREPROC.
(AC_PROG_C
(AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE): Don't call directly
AC_LANG_COMPILER(_AC_LANG), rather invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER so that
the generic code in AC_LANG_COMPILER is run.
(AC_REQUIRE_CPP): Use AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE.
(AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Don't require being run before the
corresponding AC_LANG_PREPROC: AC_LANG_COMPILER does it.
Propagate AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP, AC_EGREP_CPP): Use it instead of
AC_REQUIRE_CPP.
* acspecific.m4 (_AC_DECL_YYTEXT, AC_PATH_X): Don't
AC_REQUIRE_CPP, inner macro will do it.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL, AC_C_STRINGIZE)
(AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Likewise.
(AC_C_STRINGIZE): Yeeks! The body of AC_CACHE_CHECK was not
quoted. Use @%:@ do assist Emacs.
For some reason (don't ask), this revamping revealed that
AC_PROG_CC_STDC, because of the `break', does not clean its tmp
files.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extract the creation of conftest.c
out of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
Be sure to clean the tmp files.
`shell.m4' and the name space `AS_*'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_IFELSE, _AC_SHELL_TMPDIR, AC_SHELL_UNSET)
(AC_SHELL_MKDIR_P, AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Rename and move to...
* shell.m4 (AS_IFELSE, AS_TMPDIR, AS_UNSET, AS_MKDIR_P)
(AS_DIRNAME): here, a new file.
Adjust all dependencies.
* tests/base.m4 (m4_wrap): Eve out into...
* tests/shell.m4: here, new file.
* tests/base.m4 (AC_SHELL_MKDIR_P)
(AC_SHELL_DIRNAME & AC_SHELL_DIRNAME_SED): Eve out into...
* tests/m4sugar.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P, AS_DIRNAME & AS_DIRNAME_SED):
here, new file.
Adjust the test suite.
AC_LANG_COMPILER by the way of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE etc.
* acspecific.m4 (_AC_EXEEXT): Use _AC_LINK_IFELSE, not
AC_LINK_IFELSE to avoid AC_REQUIREing AC_PROG_CC which precisely
requires _AC_EXEEXT.
Don't run _AC_CYGWIN, _AC_MINGW32, _AC_EMXOS2.
* aclang.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_G): Use _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not
AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
(_AC_LANG_COMPILER_WORKS): Use _AC_LINK_IFELSE, not
AC_LINK_IFELSE.
which uses $ac_objext hence depends upon _AC_OBJEXT.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Call
_AC_EXEEXT before _AC_OBJEXT since the former needs $ac_objext.
