2001-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Rely on `$LINENO' when possible instead of `__oline__'.

`$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
(_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke
them explicitly to be sure they are not output before this section
(via m4_require). Cosmetic only.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Replace all the occurrences of
`__oline__' with `$LINENO'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document LINENO.
2001-09-21 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FORK): Replaceded an 8-bit
character (u: -> ue) in a code comment.
(AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK): Only run 'ln -s' if we know
it works.
2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* Makefile.maint (AUTOM4TE): Neutralize autom4te.
Suggested by Jim Meyering.
2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Use extensions listed in
$ac_executable_extensions when looking for programs.
2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fix a small Englisho.

setting up ac_dir_suffix and ac_top_builddir.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Default CDPATH to $PATH_SEPARATOR, not ':'.
2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
* doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Clarify the use of
PATH_SEPARATOR.
(Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.
(Special Shell Variables[CDPATH]): Mention that $PATH_SEPRATOR should
be used instead of ':'.
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Replace occurrences of ':' in
AUTOTEST_PATH with $PATH_SEPARATOR at test suite startup.
2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
* tests/atgeneral.m4: Add basic support for test ranges (e.g. 7-34) as
arguments. Fixed a typo.
2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not ':' to set up
$PATH. Also set AUTOM4TE_CFG, so we can process autom4te properly.
2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
* bin/autoscan.in: Add 'exec-perl-if-not-run-by-perl'.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Ditto.

2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
* lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (open): Simplified the error message (we
already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
CR issues on DOSish systems).
2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
documenting AS_DIRNAME.
(Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4:
(AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
to getpgrp.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
(AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

`{}'.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Adjust.
2001-09-18 Paul Wagland <paul@wagland.net>
* tests/m4sh.at: Ensure that AS_DIRNAME handles '/', '//' and '///'
correctly.
Add test for AS_BASENAME.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
* tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
one line out...
* lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
This also solves the name clash problems.
Don't set the package's ID.
* lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
No longer to be shipped.
(version.in): Remove.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
* lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.
Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
* tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
* tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Preselect AM_CONDITIONAL,
AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.

after `(cached)'.
2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
Allow expression to return any value that can fit into unsigned long
(not int, as before). Check for output errors.
2001-09-17 Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
when they don't exist.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
need it.
* lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
we don't need it.
* doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/base.at, tests/m4sh.at: Be sure to issue the bangshe line
_first_.
Reported by Gerrit P. Haase.

* tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2001-09-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): `< /dev/null' so that GNU M4 1.5
doesn't neutralize SIGINT, making autoconf etc. non interruptible.

2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
the wrong one.

4m.
2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

CVS GNU M4 doesn't like `undefine(undefined)'.
* bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros):
New, extracted from main.
Use IO::File wherever possible.
(input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
`unm4.m4'.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Version 2.52d.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Fix the

* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
inverse order.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

to m4sugar was lacking!
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass
autom4te_perllibdir.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to

run is stupid.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.

* bin/autoheader.in (%symbol): Strip arguments of macros.

need for autoconf.
Promote --include over --macrodir and other obsolete options.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm ($version, $help, &getopt): New.
* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in: Use them.

`print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
* tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
(autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
the time stamps.
Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.
Check the completeness of the #template.

invocation.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
`autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.

2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.

2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
* bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
* tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

optionally `FILE'.
Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.

installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
`abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
* man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
find the executables for it.
* tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
* tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
We only need PERL.
* tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
--autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
* tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
* tests/autoscan: New.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
refer to library files: rely on --language.

Suggested by Paul Eggert.
(Initializing configure): Typo.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
download in a tmp dir.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are

2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Refer to `$as_me.log', not

2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>

2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
removed.
(at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
Dump information on the first run of each test.
(AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
test group.

The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
does not like `' instead of [].
(AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
And don't output such tokens.
* tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
`script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
* tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.

(AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
files.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
* bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
(@Request::source): Rename as...

2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
(&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.

(&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
compare its timestamp with that of the output.
* bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).

Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.

* tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)

autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
Check that `dnl' is caught.
