ab542b1f77 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Security fixes: create
the temp files in a private temporary directory, not directly in
TMPDIR.

75b5d70be3 Install the IFS we need once for all.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT): New macro.
Handle the NLS envvars, and IFS.

5b50a54f8f * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP, AC_EGREP_CPP, AC_TRY_COMPILE,
AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE): Simplify the removal of the
contest files: don't remove them before running the actions, just
remove them at the end of the macro.

6522e14a8f * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use
: ${foo='some words'}
not
  : ${foo=some words}
since this is not portable: Digital Unix v5.0: `bad substitution'.

cbccb222a2 Revamp AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use a single cache
variable instead of three.
Use AC_CACHE_CHECK.
Shorten the name of the var loops, they are no longer cached.
Include sys/types.h unconditionally.
`select' returns an int, fixes Autoconf/46.
Don't display parens in the user messages.

870e58847d * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_BINSH): Remove, useless now that...
(AC_REVISION): Require AC_INIT, not _AC_INIT_BINSH.
(AC_INIT): Do what _AC_INIT_BINSH used to.
Don't require _AC_INIT_VERSION, just call it.
Rename as _AC_INIT.
(AC_INIT): New macro, single expansion wrapper around _AC_INIT.
(_AC_COPYRIGHT_SEPARATOR): New.
(AC_COPYRIGHT): Use it.
Require AC_INIT, not _AC_INIT_VERSION.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Versions): Promote as first section of
`Setup'.
Rename as `Notices'.
Document AC_COPYRIGHT.

the place no longer matters.

22e43e84f4 * acgeneral.m4: s/@%:@line __oline__/#line __oline__/g. __oline__

Akim Demaille
00121046aa * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When there were no
CONFIG_FILES, we had to expand _AC_OUTPUT_FILES into the KILL
diversion, because it is AC_OUTPUT_FILES which undiverted the
AC_SUBST sed script at its proper place, otherwise it would have
been undiverted at the end of `configure', leading to an sh syntax
error.
Now that we no longer use a diversion, we don't need to call
AC_OUTPUT_FILES if useless.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_FILES.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS.

a892defcb3 AC_ARG_PROGRAM must not be expanded twice, which is likely since
Automake calls it, and usually users do too.  If it happens,
`--program-prefix=g' actually prepend two (or more) `g'.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN_ONCE): New macro.
(AC_ARG_PROGRAM): AC_DEFUNed_ONCE.  Or is it AC_DEFUN_ONCE'd? :).
No longer AC_EXPAND_ONCE the help string, the macro itself is
expanded at most once.
Rename the here-doc tag EOF_SED as EOF.

6b95f3a59e Simplify the diversions naming system.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva and Lars J. Aas

* libm4.m4 (ifndef): New macro.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): New macro, maps a diversion name to
its value.  The diversions now have a short name, e.g., `NOTICE',
instead of the former macros which had long names, e.g.,
`AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE'.
(AC_DIVERT_PUSH): Adjust.
(AC_DIVERT_POP): Use ifndef.
(AC_DIVERSION_CURRENT): Rename as `AC_DIVERT_DIVERSION' to stay
within the `AC_DIVERT' name domain.
Adjust all callers.
* acspecific.m4: Adjust all callers.

5c521a0948 * autoconf.sh (tmpbase): New var. Adjust trap code and other tmp
file names.
(translate_awk::BEGIN): Set RS to "0" so that the whole file be a
single record.
(translate_awk::trans): Convert from array to function.
(translate_awk::error): New function.
(translate_awk::main action): Implement support for ${sep}@ and
${sep}*.  Use trans() and error().
(translate_awk): Don't put space before user functions call, it is
not portable.
Remove trailing `;', this is not C :).
(task trace): Quote `$traces' when you eval it, to protect the
white spaces.
Propagate `translate_awk' failures to `autoconf.sh'.
Translate the quadrigraphs.

5e6f17e1f2 Trap on 0 is not executed when `exit' is called without argument.
* autoheader.sh (trap 1 2 13 15): s/exit/exit $?/.

c1c5314017 More uniform style is scripts.
* autoheader.sh: s/-eq/=/.
Uniform ordering of variable initializations, option handling.
Don't use quotes where useless (foo=$1, not foo="$1").
Propagate `run_m4' and `run_m4f'.
Use `$0' in --help.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.m4: Small bug: at the end `dnl' is disabled, so use
`m4_dnl'.

ebd8a5488d `autoconf --trace': faster.
* autoconf.sh (initialization): New var, new option.
(option loop): When you need an arg, make sure there is one.
(run_m4f): New var, which content is that of the former...
(run_m4): Don't use m4 frozen state files.
Change all callers.
Don't pass AC_LOCALDIR, not documented, and unused.

68f71528ef Start revamping `autoconf --trace'.
* autoconf.sh (debug): New var, new option.
Adjust the trap code.
(task trace): Instead of decoding `m4 --trace' with sed, decode it
with m4 itself.
($silent_m4): New file, which disables m4's `errprint'.
($trace_m4): New file.  Logistic for the m4 which is in charge of
decoding the traces of the first.
($translate_awk): Transform a user trace request into $trace_m4
code.

702e183cf6 Multiple `-e' to egrep are not portable. On IRIX 6.5 and Solaris
2.5.1 only the last one is honored:
  > echo "foonbar" | egrep -e 'foo' -e 'bar'
  bar
  > echo "foonbar" | egrep -e 'bar' -e 'foo'
  foo
Reported by Nicolas Joly.
An alternative would have to use `sed', unfortunately alternation
is not portable.

* tests/actest.m4 (join): New macro.
(AC_ENV_SAVE): Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.
* tests/Makefile.am (EGREP_EXCLUDE): Rename as FILTER_MACROS.
Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.

47f8108881 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Added some missing
headers if they exist (needed for some missing prototypes) and
corrects the signal handler prototype/definition.  The signal
handler prototype is now prepended with an `extern "C"' for C++
compilers since some platforms explicitly require an `extern "C"'
signal handler.

74eb7e6a10 * autoheader.m4 (autoheader::AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Renamed as

fa98a48d2f The argument of AC_COPYRIGHT should be plain text, not an sh
comment.

* libm4.m4 (m4_quote): s/$@/$*/.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Prepend `# ' to the lines that goes
on the top of `configure'.  Actually, prepend `@%:@ ' so that
there are as many evaluations on both sides.
(_AC_INIT_VERSION): No longer strip `# '.

0fa2ad4e0c * tests/Makefile.am (all-local): Remove. It wastes time to have

to build it for each `make check'.

2e59cf5180 Provide a means to specify more Copyright information in

New diversion numbers.

9a9e3dacd2 Support absolute DOS-style paths.
Any character before the colon is accepted because network drives
can be assigned characters outside the [a-zA-Z] range. DOS-style
relative paths (?:foo/bar) are also considered absolute for
Autoconf's purposes since the path '../?:foo/bar' is invalid.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Treat DOS-style paths (?:*') as
absolute.

7a628f5092 The empty regexp cannot be portably used in egrep's alternation.
For instance with Digital Unix v5.0:
   > echo "foo"  | egrep -e "^(|foo|bar)$"
   > echo "|foo" | egrep -e "^(|foo|bar)$"
   |foo
   > echo "|bar" | egrep -e "^(|foo|bar)$"
   > echo "bar"  | egrep -e "^(|foo|bar)$"
   bar

98c9da45a3 Fix the `missing dummy.in' reported by the test suite.
Reported by Erez Zadok.

* tests/torture.m4 (config.status under extreme conditions):
Reorganized.  Because files required by this test were created
outside the pair AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP, when the test fails and
autotest extracts this test, the `debug' script does not contain
the files it needs.  Now AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP encloses the full
auto contained section.
