Reported by Bernard Dautrevaux.
2000-09-19 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

would replace an old macro call with the new macro body instead of
the new macro call.

configurations.
Reported by Mike Stone.
2000-09-14 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP): Use double quotes in the for loop
and eliminate ac_tmp_cpp.
(AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Use double quotes in the for loop and
eliminate ac_tmp_cxxcpp.
2000-09-14 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_TRY_CPP): Don't filter out conftest.$ac_ext

by the same reason.
2000-09-12 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

2000-09-12 R<>diger Kuhlmann <autoconf-list@ruediger-kuhlmann.de>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Exclude c:install on AmigaOS.
2000-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
The test suite fails on some hosts because for instance
AC_INIT
AC_CHECK_FUNC(exit)
will not look for a compiler, it will just use `cc'.
Macros that need a compiler should require one.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_REQUIRE): New macro, which is actually the
previous version of AC_REQUIRE plus the possibility to distinguish
the name of the symbol being AC_PROVIDE'd, and the text to expand.
(AC_REQUIRE): Reimplement in terms of _AC_REQUIRE.
* aclang.m4 (AC_LANG_COMPILER, AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE)
(AC_LANG_COMPILER(C), AC_LANG_COMPILER(C++))
(AC_LANG_COMPILER(Fortran 77)):
New macros.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE):
Require a compiler.
(AC_TRY_RUN): Formatting changes.
* acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): Quote properly. The previous
changes revealed the weaknesses of this macro.
2000-09-12 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_TRY_CPP): New macro. It runs the preprocessor
and checks whether it produces errors or warnings. Don't put grep
output into a variable, use another grep instead.
(AC_TRY_CPP): Use _AC_TRY_CPP. Copy conftest.err to config.log
if the case of an error.
* aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(Fortran 77)):
define AC_LANG_ABBREV to the short language name.
(_AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS): New macro. It checks whether the current
preprocessor can be used to check for existance of headers.
Most code taken from ...
(AC_PROG_CPP): ... here. Use _AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS. Use shell
"for" to find working CPP. Use AC_LANG_PUSH(C) and AC_LANG_POP -
it's a macro for C only.
(AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Rewritten using _AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS.
2000-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoupdate.sh (sed): Look for GNU sed.
(usage): Ask for GNU sed.
2000-09-12 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_EGREP_CPP): Use additional quotes instead of
changequote.
2000-09-12 R<>diger Kuhlmann <autoconf-list@ruediger-kuhlmann.de>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE,AC_ARG_WIDTH): Add trailing
semicolon to final fi.

* autoconf.sh: Proprerly report names of unexpanded macros that
begin with an underscore
2000-09-11 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Preset Output Variables): Correctly specify
what languages are affected by CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS.
Extended description of LDFLAGS and LIBS.
(Compilers and Preprocessors, C Compiler Characteristics):
Recommend Automake as the source of ansi2knr.
(Autoconf Language, Quotation and Nested Macros): English fixes.
(Quotation and Nested Macros): Unclear example replaced with
an explanation of when m4 expands quotes. Added explanation why
unquoted calls are dangerous.
2000-09-08 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
* doc/autoconf.texi: Always use one space before the opening
parenthesis in @defmac
2000-09-06 Morten Eriksen <mortene@sim.no>
* acspecific.m4 (_AC_OBJEXT): No longer use AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
which uses $ac_objext hence depends upon _AC_OBJEXT.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Call
_AC_OBJEXT before _AC_EXEEXT since the latter needs $ac_objext.
2000-09-06 Bernard Dautrevaux <dautrevaux@objectlive.com>
* acspecific.m4 (_AC_EXEEXT): Set extension to void if linking
creates both an unsuffixed file and suffixed ones.

2000-09-05 Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
* aclang.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_GNU): Run command from standard input so
that we can get some standard output.

the correct exit status when an exit trap is taken.
2000-08-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acfunctions.m4 (AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AM_FUNC_FNMATCH,
AM_FUNC_MKTIME, AM_FUNC_OBSTACK, AM_FUNC_STRTOD): Deactivate
their AU_ALIAS definition: Automake 1.4 does not quote the name of
these macros, hence when Autoconf reads Automake's definition the
name is expanded with unpredictable results.
2000-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoreconf.sh (Installing Autoconf extensions files): Remove.
2000-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* tests/tools.m4 (undefined macros): New test.
2000-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (finalize.awk): New subtool, eved from the previous
literal AWK program that performed the `oline' and quadrigraphs
substitution.
Fix its `oline' computation which was dead wrong when there are
empty lines (i.e., always).
Enhance it in order to look for and report unexpanded macro.
Don't let it pretend there are bugs in Autoconf (c:, the test
suite makes this scenario pretty unlikely as opposed to an actual
user bug.
Catch `m4_' too.
Remove the shell snippet which used to do this.
2000-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_NOTICE): New macro, suggested by Pavel
Roskin.

operator when \(\) is used, and matches a string longer than 120
characters.

this.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Fall back to echo|sed if expr
fails.

* acgeneral.m4: (AC_RUN_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE):
Don't create the source file if none is given, and in this case,
don't remove it either.
2000-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* libm4.m4 (m4_ifvanl): New macro.

the dangers of character ranges.
From Paul Eggert.

2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

of an m4 variable to store what must be done, so that sh
conditionals are honored.
(_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS,
_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
* tests/semantics.m4: Test the four AC_CONFIG sisters.

literals, show it works properly with sh conditionals.
2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Too many people put AC_DEFINE in
the commands-to-set-it part of it. Give them a warning.
2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Prerequisite Macros): More about AC_REQUIRE.
2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

The current implementation of AC_REQUIRE fails on
| AC_DEFUN([TEST1], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])REQUIRE([TEST2b])])
| AC_DEFUN([TEST2a], [])
| AC_DEFUN([TEST2b], [REQUIRE([TEST3])])
| AC_DEFUN([TEST3], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])])
|
| AC_INIT
| TEST1
because it produces TEST3; TEST2a; TEST2b; TEST1.
Fix this bug, implement the solution provided by Axel Thimm,
and test AC_REQUIRE.
* acgeneral.m4: Document this implementation.
(_AC_DEFUN_PRO, _AC_DEFUN_EPI, AC_REQUIRE): Be sure that macros
are emitted in the same order as they are expanded.
(AC_REQUIRE): Forbid being calling out of an AC_DEFUN'd macro (in
particular the top level).
* tests/base.m4 (AC_REQUIRE): New test.
2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
A macro which is not defined with AC_DEFUN should not be
AC_REQUIRE'd, since it doesn't AC_PROVIDE itself.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_REQUIRE): Issue a warning when after expansion,
the macro is not AC_PROVIDE'd.
2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Various cleanups.

_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT, _AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW,
_AC_CHECK_TYPE_OLD): Define via `define' instead of `AC_DEFUN':
they are not related to AC_REQUIRE in any way.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_ECHO, _AC_DECL_YYTEXT, _AC_PATH_X_XMKMF,
_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Define via `define' instead of `AC_DEFUN'.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOL): Use two variables in order to
avoid cache variable conflicts between AC_CHECK_PROG invocations.
(AC_PATH_TOOL): Fix same bugs as in 6/9/00 fixes to AC_CHECK_TOOL.
Pass correct arguments to AC_CHECK_PATH (different from
AC_CHECK_PROG). Use AC_CHECK_PATH cache variable, not
AC_CHECK_PROG var, and use two variables for two invocations as
above. Quote AC_CHECK_* args.
2000-06-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
The test suite reveals AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS fails on RISC/OS.

(Cache Files): into here.
2000-06-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOL): Even if VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND is not
specified, we should still check whether PROG-TO-CHECK-FOR
actually works before returning it when the prefixed program is
not found. Also, fixed a bug where it failed to pass the PATH
argument in the second call to AC_CHECK_PROG.
2000-06-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Rewrite.

processed by Abysoft's Fortran compiler.
2000-06-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@superjdj.mit.edu>
* aclang.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Fixed bug where
compiler output to stdout was not caught and interpreted.
2000-06-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
`autoconf --trace' dies on filenames with `:'.
Reported by Mark Elbrecht.
* autoconf.sh <trace> (trace2m4.sed): Use `..*' instead of
`[^:][^:]*' to catch file names. The rest of regex is probably
precise enough to avoid incorrect parsing.
2000-06-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4 (_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Always initialize
$3 to no.

2000-06-07 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
* aclang.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Fix problem on Cray due to

succeeding.
2000-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

Suggested by Mo DeJong.
2000-06-05 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
* aclang.m4 (AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED): Use the new compiler-test
technology so that we can do the test via compilations only. Also
use (char) -1 instead of (char) 255 to check if char is unsigned.
2000-05-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R): Call strerror_r with 2nd arg
of type char*, not int. Suggestion from Paul Eggert.

looking for the executable.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Thanks to --program-transform-name, `autoconf' might be install as
`yo-man-i-am-the-all-mighty-AVt0c0nF-eh-eh'. But when
`yo-man-i-am-the-all-mighty-AVt0h3Ad3R-eh-eh' and the other tools
want to trace, they might stupidly invoke the program named
`autoconf' instead. Pfff, stupid scripts :)
* Makefile.am (editsh): Transfer the names of the install
`autoconf' and `autoheader'.
* autoconf.sh: Add a missing period at the end of the comment
# Parse command line
Make sure to have a ChangeLog much longer than the patch.

2000-05-25 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
Don't use f2c as a possible Fortran compiler, since by itself it
cannot produce object code.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove f2c from the search list.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Excise mentions of f2c in AC_PROG_F77 docs.
2000-05-26 Mark Elbrecht <snowball3@bigfoot.com>
Currently, AC_PROG_LN_S incorrectly reports yes with DJGPP. This
is because the DJGPP `ln' emulates soft links for executables by
generating a stub that in turn calls the real program. This
feature also works with nonexistent files like in the Unix
spec. So `ln -s X conftestdata' will generate `conftestdata.exe'
which will attempt to call 'X.exe'. But this feature only works
for executables. Fix it.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_LN_S): Create a sample file and use it to
test `ln -s'.
2000-05-26 Ossama Othman <ossama@ece.uci.edu>

AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX, it's dead.
2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
In `info', it is easier to type `autoconf <TAB>' to reach the list
of options, that `Invoking autoc<TAB>'.
* doc/autoconf.texi: s/Invoking foo/foo Invocation/.
2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Merge `Upgrading' and `Obsolete Constructs' together.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Constructs): Move right after
`Recreation a Configuration.

`Obsolete Constructs'.
(Upgrading): Demote from chapter to section.
Be a section of `Obsolete Constructs'.
Rename as `Autoconf 1'.
2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

Have --host=sun4 automatically look for CC=sun4-cc etc.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOLS): New.

The options --build etc. used to set `$build'. *If*
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM was run, then the value of `$build' given by
the user was saved into `$build_alias', and `$build' was
normalized using `config.sub'.
Now, let `--build' set `$build_alias' so that scripts with or
without `AC_CANONICAL_BUILD' have the same semantics. This allows
to use `AC_CHECK_TOOL' without requiring `config.guess' and
`config.sub' (which was bizarre anyway).
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): --build, --host and --target
set `build_alias' etc.
After the option handling, set host to $host_alias etc. for
bugward compatibility.
(AC_CANONICALIZE): Mutate into...
(_AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT): this, which does not canonicalize, it just
computes `$foo_os' etc.
(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Remove, too confusing.
(AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Adjust.
Do not assign any value to `build_alias', just compute `build', and
`build_{cpy, vendor, os}'.
(AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Likewise.
(AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): Fire your rule when `$host_alias' is
given, not when `$host != $build'.
* acgeneral.m4 (sinclude): Fix typo.
2000-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

Reading the ChangeLog revealed that the recent update of
AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG introduced a bug which already happened (see
Mon Nov 11 18:02:58 1996 David J MacKenzie).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Use a less tempting name:
s/ac_save_LIBS/ac_check_lib_save_LIBS/.
2000-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA): New macro, extracted from...
(AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): here. Adjust.
2000-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Add `configure --config-cache', `-C' as a shortcut for
`--cache-file=config.cache'.

* autoupdate.sh: Complete rewrite. See that file for a detailed
explanation. Basically, simulate the name spaces thanks to

output with the right quotation (yeah!).
Pass `-m $top_srcdir': autoupdate wants the `.m4' files, not the

(distpkgdataDATA): here, so that all the `.m4' files are in the
source hierarchy, not split across src and build.

AH_BOTTOM.
2000-05-03 Nicolas Joly <njoly@pasteur.fr>

variables list.
2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/tools.m4 (autoheader): Don't pass `-l at_srcdir' to
`autoheader', since `acconfig.h' is created in the build dir.

using `acconfig.h'.
2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Simplify the handling of `acconfig.h'.
* autoheader.sh: No longer try to select the needed paragraphs of
`acconfig.h', just dump everything into `config.h.in'.

Warn the users that these auxiliary files are obsolete when `-W
obsolete'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoheader): Adjust.
2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Support of acconfig.h was broken. Fix and test.

Provide a macro to canonicalize a configuration name.
Suggested by Ralf Corsepius.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICALIZE): New macro.
(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Use it.
Change the defaults for build, host, and target systems:
build defaults to `config.guess`.
host defaults to $build.
target defaults to $host.
Suggested by Mo DeJong, Pavel Roskin, Tom Tromey, Ian Lance
Taylor, and many others.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Set `$build', `$host' and
`$target' to nothing instead of NONE.
(AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): AU_DEFUN'd as `AC_CANONICAL_TARGET'.
(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Use an explicit m4_case to set the defaults
depending upon the THING.
Implement the default values.
(AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Handle the `AC_ARG_PROGRAM' part
`AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM' used to provide.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
When receiving an explicit argument, consider this is a default
for --build, --host and --target (unless set).
Some scripts might still depend on this historical syntax.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Do that.
(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Drop the support of `$nonopt'.
Documenting --build, --host and --target when configure does not
handle them causes confusion.
Suggested by Pavel Roskin.
Nevertheless configure must not die on such an `unsupported'
option: it does happen that people build an entire tree of
packages, some of them expecting `--host' etc. some others not.
Stressed by Tom Tromey and Ian Lance Taylor.
* acgeneral.m4 (HELP_CANON): New diversion.
(_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Don't document these options.
(AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET):
Document your associated option.
2000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

(_AC_ECHO, _AC_ECHO_N): Quote the call to _AC_SH_QUOTE.
The autoheader chain needs to be adjusted.
* acgeneral.m4 (AH_VERBATIM): Just pass two arguments to AH_OUTPUT
instead of trying to build what `autoheader' needs: let it handle
the format by itself.
* autoheader.m4: Adjust.
s,tmp/config.h,tmp/config.hin.
The adjustment revealed that `autoconf --trace' is not robust to
single quotes in its argument.
* autoconf.sh: Fix this issue.
Rename the escape `$*' as `$%'. Implement `$@'.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
2000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
mawk suffers a severe performance loss when using `sub' with a
changing value. On the `configure' script of the fileutils:
mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 14s.
mawk '{ if ($0 ~ /foo/) sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 0.03s.
mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo) }' -> 0.03s.
* autoconf.sh (task script, AWK script): Run `sub (__oline__,
oline)' only in the lines that match `__oline__'.
Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (options handling::-W*): Strip two leading chars, not

section.
Document --help=short and recursive.
Split the `Directory' section into `Installation directories' for
--prefix and --exec-prefix, and all the others into `Fine tuning
of the installation directories'.
In the latter, don't repeat `in DIR', the user understands, and it
comes out better.
Default for --exec-prefix is PREFIX.
Reported by Kathryn Hargreaves.
Move --host before --build.
Fix a test on `$ac_init_help' which was not updated.
2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Have `make check' succeed with CC=g++.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO): Don't check `env-after' if
the file does not exist, which may happen when a `configure' exits
brutally.

forbids members named like their hosting struct, so don't do it.
2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoscan.pl: Reindent using 2 spaces, not 4.
Use `#' to denote Autoconf comments, not `dnl'.

(AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE): this. Change all callers.
Spread the use of AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE, no macro should know how

* acgeneral.m4: Simplify all the `foo="$bar"' into `foo=$bar'.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
* aclang.m4: Likewise.
2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Move obsolete macros' definitions out of the way.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Old Macro Names): Rename as...
(Old Macros): this. Change the @table enumeration into a list of
@defmac.
(AC_CHECKING, AC_CHECK_TYPE, AC_COMPILE_CHECK, AC_C_CROSS,

* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): If any option waiting for a
directory receives a relative path, die (bindir, sbindir,
libexecdir, datadir, sysconfdir, sharedstatedir, localstatedir,
libdir, includedir, oldincludedir, infodir, mandir, exec_prefix,
prefix). Fixes Autoconf 42.
2000-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

AC_CANONICAL_TARGET and AC_CANONICAL_BUILD.
2000-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

is. Explain how to use the quotation scheme used in Autoconf.
(Quoting): Update. Do not advocate changequote.
2000-03-30 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
Fix F77 name-mangling macros to work with cached values (so
they don't break the second time you run configure).
* aclang.m4 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Extract f77_case,
f77_underscore from cache variable.
(AC_F77_WRAPPERS): Get rid of ac_cv_f77_wrappers, it's useless.

(missing whitespace--F77 requires program statements to start in
column 7).
2000-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Rewrite the autoheader chain on top of `autoconf --trace'.
* autoheader.m4: Dispatch the prototypes next to there AC_
siblings.
(AH_TEMPLATE, AH_VERBATIM): Move to...
* acgeneral.m4: here.
(AH_OUTPUT): New macro.
* autoheader.sh: Run `autoconf --trace' instead of `m4 autoheader.m4'.
* autoheader.m4: Remove.
* Makefile.am: Adjust.
* tests/tools.m4 (AH_DEFUN): Remove, no longer makes sense.
* tests/actests.m4 (autoheader::AC_TATOOINE): Remove, was used by
the test above.
2000-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
silent.m4 depends upon the current quotation in m4, which changes
if `-i' is used or not.
* autoconf.sh (trace::silent.m4): Removed.
(trace::run_m4_trace): Pass -Derrprint.
2000-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

Stop using variables for tmp files, use their names in $tmp.
[install]: Use the new features of autoconf --trace.
2000-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Probably all the versions of bash up to 2.04 fail on

_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Always make `\\' be the
first character in all the `[]' of `case' patterns.
2000-03-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): Rename back as
AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX since some packages rely on it.

from `$trace' to the m4 program.
2000-03-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_CANONICAL_TARGET, _AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Rename
as (AC_CANONICAL_TARGET, AC_CANONICAL_BUILD), although internal,
too much foreign code depends upon them.
2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (translate_awk): `> "/dev/stderr"' is not portable
to systems without a real /dev/stderr in the file system or if not
using one of the three free awks. Use
print message | "cat >&2"
...
END { close("cat >&2") }
From Aharon Robbins.
2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoheader.sh (checking completeness): Be ready to recognize
patterns with a value, and spaces between `#' and the directive, e.g.
# define FOO FIXME:
Reported by John Fortin.
2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_RUN_IFELSE): New macro.

(AC_TRY_RUN): Use AC_RUN_IFELSE, not AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE.
2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Ah ah! I recognized you, even
masked: you are AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC.
Fix quotation.
(AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Use AC_SHELL_IFELSE.

2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILER): Use AC_LINK_IFELSE.
(AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC, AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_FUNC): Don't check that
the current language is C++ to output `extern "C"': the CPP
condition is enough.
2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE): New macros.
(AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_COMPILE): Use them.
(AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_COMPILE_CHECK, AC_CHECK_DECL,

* acspecific.m4 (AC_DECL_YYTEXT, AC_PATH_XTRA): Adjust.
2000-03-23 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Need to use
AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS when linking C and Fortran code.
2000-03-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM, AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C),
AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C++), AC_LANG_PROGRAM(FORTRAN77)): New macros.

Code stolen from...
(AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): s/ac_config_dir/ac_subdir/g.
2000-03-23 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>

(AC_TRY_COMPILER, AC_EGREP_CPP, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE): Use
AC_LANG_SOURCE.
2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Fix a bug: some macros (e.g., AC_REVISION, AC_COPYRIGHT etc.) can
be used before AC_INIT, but they do require it. But then, the
argument of the explicit AC_INIT call is lost.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): New macro.
(_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Adjust.
(_AC_INIT): Pass your argument to AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR.
2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/semantics.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG, AC_PATH_PROGS): New tests.

AC_LANG_RESTORE.
* tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Add AC_LANG.
2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Speed ups.
* libm4.m4 (m4_append, m4_list_append): Use m4_define, not define.
On my machine the former implementation takes 4mn 40s to run the
test suite. Using m4_define leads to 4mn 15s.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SUBST): Use AC_EXPAND_ONCE (which uses
m4_define, not define). 4mn.
(_AC_DIVERT): Don't use m4_case. Starting from those 4mn, if you
just move NORMAL* first in m4_case, the test suite is run in 3mn.
If instead of using m4, you use an `associative array' plus a
wrapper (current implementation), it falls to 2mn.
2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/tools.m4 (autoconf --trace): New test.
2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (task trace): Pipe the output of the first m4 into
the second one, instead of saving to a tmp file, so that we can
trace endless configure.in expansion.
2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Uniform idioms.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS,
_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Prefer
for i in : $is; do test $i = : && continue
over
for i in .. $is; do if test $i != ..; then
2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move more
initializations to...
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): here.
2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Give a means to compute `srcdir' earlier in configure.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): New macro, pulled out from...
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): No longer compute `srcdir'.
(_AC_INIT): Use _AC_INIT_SRCDIR.
(AC_INIT): Don't forget to pass the argument to _AC_INIT.
2000-03-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Don't test for existence
of $ac_xdir. Not only is `test -e' not portable, but the test isn't
necessary at all; the following mkdir ends up accomplishing the
same goal. Suggestion from Alexandre Oliva.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT) [setting IFS]: Be careful
to use space, tab and new line, in precisely that order.
2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS.
No argument, use AC_LIST_SUBDIRS.
Adjust callers.

(_AC_COPYRIGHT_SEPARATOR): Remove.
(AC_COPYRIGHT): Adjust.
(_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): Name the package you configure
when you want.
(_AC_INIT): Adjust.
* configure.in (AC_PACKAGE): Add.
2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't rely on RS = "\0" to swallow the whole input as a single
record, this is not portable: mawk and nawk understand it as RS =
"". gawk understands it as expected.
* autoconf.sh (translate_awk::BEGIN): No longer change RS.
(translate_awk::body): Move to the END.
Instead, accumulate the input in `request'.
2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Testing Values and Files): Be a subsection of
`Portable Shell Programming'.
(Shell Substitutions, Limitations of Usual Tools): New subsections.
2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Use a single tool to reformat the raw `configure' script output by
m4.
Suggested by Paul Eggert.
* autoconf.sh: Stop playing with 2 seds and an AWK to finalize
`configure', a single AWK program is enough.
2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
In Autoconf 2.13, although AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS did double quote its
arguments, AC_OUTPUT arguments 2 and 3 were not! Currently,
AC_OUTPUT over quotes too: stop that.
Reported by Martin Buchholz.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Don't expand on the ternary
AC_OUTPUT.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't over quote $2 and $3.
2000-03-17 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Security fixes: create
the temp files in a private temporary directory, not directly in
TMPDIR.
2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Install the IFS we need once for all.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT): New macro.
Handle the NLS envvars, and IFS.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use it, no longer set the NLS envvars.
(_AC_WHICH_A, AC_PATH_PROG): Rely on the default IFS.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES):
Likewise.
2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* 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.
2000-03-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* 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'.
From Nicolas Joly.
2000-03-16 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
* libm4.m4 (m4_assert, m4_shiftn): New macros.
(m4_case,m4_match): Rewrite to use m4_shiftn (for readability reasons).
(m4_for): Add the STEP argument and some argument-verifying asserts.
(m4_split): Correct spaces to tabulator in regexp.
2000-03-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
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.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoheader.sh: Use run_m4f, not run_m4.
2000-03-14 John David Anglin <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>
* tests/actest.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): Don't consider RANDOM and LINENO
which some shells update. At least ksh on HP-UX 10.20 and sh on
IRIX 6.5 do change their `RANDOM' even if `read' via `set'.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH): No use for @%:@ here,
no need to over quote $1 in the comments.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Replace some ifelse with ifval or m4_default, or
even nothing when not needed.

Kill a couple of useless quote around dollars.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Kill a changequote in the
building of `ac_configure_args'.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): Rename _AC_DIVERT.
(AC_DIVERT): New macro.
Spread its use where better than a pair of AC_DIVERT_PUSH/POP.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* 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.
Don't give false reasons for placing AC_REVISION before AC_INIT,
the place no longer matters.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (trace_m4::smash): Double quote, we don't want the
result to be evaluated.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: s/@%:@line __oline__/#line __oline__/g. __oline__
is not a macro, so there is just no use in avoiding `#'.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* 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.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
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.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Get rid of the ICMDS diversion.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): Remove ICMDS.
(_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_INIT): New growing string.
(_AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_INIT, _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Adjust.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Introduce AC_SUBST(VAR, VAL).
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Stop global double quoting,
failed experiment.
Merge all the var=val AC_SUBST(var) into AC_SUBST(var, val).
(AC_SUBST): Implement support for 2nd arg.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Adjust.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
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.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoconf): Update documentation of
`autoconf --trace'.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* 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.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Trap on 0 is not executed when `exit' is called without argument.
* autoheader.sh (trap 1 2 13 15): s/exit/exit $?/.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
Remove translate_awk too.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
Handle `--debug'.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
More uniform style in 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 `$0' in --help.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.m4: Small bug: at the end `dnl' is disabled, so use
`m4_dnl'.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
`autoconf --trace': faster.
* autoconf.sh (initialization): New var, new option.
(option loop): When you need an arg, make sure there is one.
(run_m4f): New var, which content is that of the former...
(run_m4): Don't use m4 frozen state files.
Change all callers.
Don't pass AC_LOCALDIR, not documented, and unused.
(task trace): Honor `--verbose' and `--initialization'.
(globally): Send `--verbose' messages in stderr.
Fix random typos.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_BINSH): Removed.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Start revamping `autoconf --trace'.
* autoconf.sh (debug): New var, new option.
Adjust the trap code.
(task trace): Instead of decoding `m4 --trace' with sed, decode it
with m4 itself.
($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 $trace_m4
code.
2000-03-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Multiple `-e' to egrep are not portable. On IRIX 6.5 and Solaris
2.5.1 only the last one is honored:
> printf "foo\nbar\n" | egrep -e 'foo' -e 'bar'
bar
> printf "foo\nbar\n" | egrep -e 'bar' -e 'foo'
foo
Reported by Nicolas Joly.
An alternative would have been to use `sed', unfortunately
alternation is not portable.
* tests/actest.m4 (join): New macro.
(AC_ENV_SAVE): Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.
* tests/Makefile.am (EGREP_EXCLUDE): Rename as FILTER_MACROS.
Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.
2000-03-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): Correct typos in definition:
add `_' prefix to make the function name match comments and existing
uses. Remove leading prefix from _AC_CANONICAL_HOST.
2000-03-09 Ossama Othman <ossama@debian.org>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Added some missing
headers if they exist (needed for some missing prototypes) and
corrects the signal handler prototype/definition. The signal
handler prototype is now prepended with an `extern "C"' for C++
compilers since some platforms explicitly require an `extern "C"'
signal handler.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoheader.m4 (autoheader::AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Rename as
(autoheader::_AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): to cope with the new name
of the autoconf:: macro.
Fixes autoconf/119, reported by Raja R Harinath.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG, AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS):
Fix quotation problems in DOS path handling.
2000-03-08 Franz Sirl <Franz.Sirl-kernel@lauterbach.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): Make them C++
safe: include the right headers, cast the allocations etc.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
The argument of AC_COPYRIGHT should be plain text, not an sh
comment.
* libm4.m4 (m4_quote): s/$@/$*/.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Prepend `# ' to the lines that go
on the top of `configure'. Actually, prepend `@%:@ ' so that
there are as many evaluations on both sides.
(_AC_INIT_VERSION): No longer strip `# '.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/Makefile.am (all-local): Remove. It wastes time to have
testsuite rebuilt each time an ac*.m4 file changes. It is enough
to build it for each `make check'.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Leave a diversion exclusively for Copyright notices.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS): New diversion number.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Move definition of `ac_includes_default' from
here...
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): to here.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Play with your diversion yourself, don't let
(AC_INIT): do it for you.
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): New macro.
(AC_INIT): Use it.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Provide a means to specify more Copyright information in
`configure'. And after all, it suits to `configure --version' too.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS, AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PREPARE):
New diversion numbers.
(AC_DIVERSION_INIT): Rename as...
(AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): this.
(AC_DIVERT_POP): Instead of going into wild endless loops when
there are more pops than pushes, die with dignity.
(AC_COPYRIGHT): New macro.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Move definition of `ac_includes_default' from
here...
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): to here.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Remove.
(AC_INIT): Use it to install Autoconf's Copyright.
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): New macro.
(AC_INIT): Use it.
(AC_PREFIX_DEFAULTS): Dump in AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS.
(_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Dump in AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PREPARE.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
We don't need _AC_ARG_*_HELP_PROLOGUE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_EXPAND_ONCE): AC_PROVIDE yourself, in case
there is no AC_DEFUN associated with the text to expand.
(_AC_ARG_ENABLE_HELP_PROLOGUE, _AC_ARG_WITH_HELP_PROLOGUE,
_AC_ARG_VAR_HELP_PROLOGUE): Remove, instead...
(AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH, AC_ARG_VAR): do it yourself.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Fix copy n' paste typos in
`--with-*', `--without-*' and `*' decoding.
Reported by Raja R Harinath.
Fixes autoconf/118.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't dump AC_ARG_PROGRAM help messages if not used.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Don't.
(AC_ARG_PROGRAM): Do.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't dump X help messages when `configure' does not check for X.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Don't dump X help messages.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PATH_X): Do it.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
No longer rely on /bin/sh to compose the optional parts of
`configure --help'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_HELP_BEGIN, AC_DIVERSION_HELP_ENABLE,
AC_DIVERSION_HELP_WITH, AC_DIVERSION_HELP_VAR,
AC_DIVERSION_HELP_END): New diversion numbers.
(AC_EXPAND_ONCE): New macro.

(AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH, AC_ARG_VAR): Expand once the
_HELP_PROLOGUE macro which corresponds.
(_AC_INIT_HELP): Adjust to AC_DIVERSION_HELP_BEGIN and
AC_DIVERSION_HELP_END.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE, _AC_INIT_HELP): Remove the sh code which handled
the optional help strings.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS no longer uses a diversion.

document problems.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_BINSH, AC_INIT_NOTICE, AC_INIT_PREPARE):
Rename as...
(_AC_INIT_BINSH, _AC_INIT_NOTICE, _AC_INIT_PREPARE): this.
All callers adjusted.

(_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): this.
Move the display of help and version strings to...

(AC_INIT): Adjust. Also, fix quotation.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Some tests are failing with srcdir != builddir, because they can't
find config.guess, install-sh etc.
Reported by Erez Zadok.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO): Set AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR to
top_srcdir in configure.in, and pass the value of top_srcdir to

AC_PATH_PROGS, AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL, AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM,
AC_EGREP_CPP, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_COMPILE_CHECK, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE):
Use ifval instead of ifelse.
2000-03-07 Mark Elbrecht <snowball3@bigfoot.com>
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.
(AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Likewise.
(AC_PATH_PROG): Make pattern for matching DOS-style paths the same
as that used in AC_OUTPUT_FILES and AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS.
2000-03-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/atspecific.m4 (m4_match): Remove, no longer used.
2000-03-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
* autoheader.sh: Use `rm -f', not just `rm' when removing temporaries.
Preserve exit status in trap handler.
Based on suggestions from Paul Eggert.
2000-03-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
Move the quadrigraphs out of the user name space.
* acgeneral.m4: 's/\@BKL@/@<:@/g', 's/\@BKR@/\@:>@/g',
's/\@DLR@/\@S|@/g', 's/\@PND@/@%:@/g'.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.

into the ac_ name space.
Reported by Nicolas Joly.
2000-03-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4: Move some macros to a better place.
2000-03-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Internal macros are named `_AC_'.

AC_CANONICAL_THING, AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX, AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE):
Prepend `_' to their names.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT,
AC_PATH_X_XMKMF, AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Prepend `_' to their names.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Macro Names): Adjusted.
2000-03-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
2000-03-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
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
> echo "bar" | egrep '^(foo|bar|)$'
> echo "bar|" | egrep '^(foo|bar|)$'
bar|
> echo "bar" | egrep '^(foo||bar)$'
> echo "|bar" | egrep '^(foo||bar)$'

produce the list of the AC macros we want to test.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Removed.
* tests/Makefile.am (EGREP_EXCLUDE): New variable, performing the
selection TEST_MACRO used to do.

twisted. Fix it so that it performs what claims the entry below.
From Nicolas Joly.
2000-02-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/tools.m4 (syntax.sh): Exit 1 if you managed to kill the

2000-02-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
autoreconf had a silly syntax error, test it and fix it.
Reported by Franc,ois Pinard and Rainer Orth.
* autoreconf.sh: Removed spurious `;;'.
Formatting changes.
* tests/tools.m4 (Syntax of the scripts): Run `sh -n' on all the
shell scripts.
2000-02-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (options handling): --v* of --version was shadowing
--verbose.
2000-02-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/torture.m4: Nuke the trailing space in defs.
2000-02-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/atspecific.m4: Really added to the CVS repository.
2000-02-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't use `cat -s' to single out new-lines, it is not portable.
Also remove trailing blanks.
* tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Use sed instead of cat.
* tests/torture.m4: No longer check for a trailing space.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/actest.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): OpenBSD-2.3's /bin/sh defines an
envvar SECONDS which does change with time.
KMEM_GROUP is set by AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG.
Reported by Volker Borchert.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/Makefile.am (macros.m4): Better regex to build `macro'.
Depend upon acgeneral.m4.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoheader.sh: Remove the duplicate trap code.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): When dispatching your arguments, use
ifval, not ifset!
Dispatch actions to AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS not AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, to
avoid unneeded warnings for obsolete use of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_VERBOSE): This is a tab, not spaces.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Changequote busters II.
They're back to save the world.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O,
AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG,
AC_FUNC_MKTIME, AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE, AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Blast
that jelly o' changequote. Set the quotes free.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Interrupting autoheader left temp files.
From Jim Meyering.
* autoheader.sh (usage): The usage is to use $0 here.
(ah_base): Be in TMPDIR.
Install the `trap' before creating the first tmp file.
Also trap on 0.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): This is a routine of
`configure', not `config.status', hence use `conftest' for tmp
files, not `$ac_cs_root'.
Removed forgotten developer comment.
Double quoting the whole body is nicer than just the part that
needs to be.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/torture.m4: Also check the value of @DEFS@ when no
CONFIG_HEADER is used.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Changequote-busters!
From Dan Ackroyd.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, AC_INIT_PREPARE,
AC_CACHE_SAVE, AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, AC_OUTPUT,
_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS, AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS, AC_OUTPUT_FILES,
_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Quit
playing with changequotes, @BKL@ and Co.! Just quote properly.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Honor properly the `#define' config.h.in templates.
Test it.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Rename as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): this. All callers changed.
Don't mess with changequote, just quote properly.
Bug 1. Because of the `#' in `ac_dA', the quotes <<>> were not
removed, and therefore the sed script contained `<<define>>'
instead of `define'. Now that the block is properly quoted, there
is no need to quote `define'.
Bug 2. Once a `#define' substitution performed, we were branching
to the top of the sed script (`t top'). This resulted in an
endless substitution of `#define foo 1' to `#define foo 1'.
Branching is not enough: you also have to fetch the next input
line, i.e., use `t' instead of `t t' in ac_dD, and don't output
`: top' in `config.defines'.
Though it was correct for `#undef' templates, just apply the same
transformation to `ac_uD' and `config.undefs'.
Bug 3. Don't try to preserve what was behind the value in the
template, since on
#define NAME "bar baz"
it leads to
#define NAME 1 baz"
Now `ac_dB' catches everything behind the NAME (making sure there
is at least a space) and `ac_dC' only outputs a space.
* tests/torture.m4: Check that various forms of `#define' header
templates are properly handled.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Avoid calling `rm' without arguments.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): It is smarter to use a
quoted here doc to output the section providing defaults for
CONFIG_*.
Don't rm the CONFIG_FILES here but in..
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES) [test -n "$CONFIG_FILES"]: here.
Hm, actually, no, just don't remove them at all, let the newly
created files replace the old ones, exactly as in
AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS.
From Graham Jenkins.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Don't
: ${FOO="$foo"}
but
: ${FOO=$foo}
Since Ultrix will also assign the quotes to FOO.
Reported by Harlan Stenn.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Keep `AC_CHECK_TYPE' backward compatibility and provide a proper
`AC_CHECK_TYPE',

* libm4.m4 (near m4_split): Remove the buggy additional
changequote.
Quote properly `m4_split' when registering it.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
The AU-glue code for AC_LINK_FILES was not fully compatible: in
AC_LINK_FILES($from, $to)
`$from' and `$to' can be lists, hence `AC_CONFIG_LINKS($to:$from)'
is wrong.
Reported by H.J. Lu.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Replace the m4-glue code from
AC_LINK_FILES to AC_CONFIG_LINKS, with sh-glue code.
Give a detailed update message.
(_AC_LINK_FILES_CNT): New variable. Initialize.

_AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Standardize the error messages in the options handling of
`configure' and `config.status'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Rename as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): this.
Change the error messages from
value: invalid feature name
to
invalid feature: value
Invite the user to try --help for invalid options.
(AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Likewise.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_COMMANDS): Rename as...

Reported by Jim Meyering.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Clean up a few changequotes.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Instead of using changequote

Restore AC_HAVE_LIBRARY.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HAVE_LIBRARY): AU_DEFUNed in terms of
AC_CHECK_LIB.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Libraries): Document.
2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Fix the handling of `./configure foo=bar' and test it.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, getopt loop): Always define
ac_optarg as the rhs of the first `=', not only on `-.*=', so that
`configure var=val' defines ac_optarg=val.
Improve the robustness to shell special characters:
- Use grep when checking that shell variable names are valid.
- Quote the quotes in ac_optarg before `eval var='$ac_optarg''.
- Quote the quotes when building ac_configure_args.
* tests/torture.m4: Test that `./configure foo=bar' works properly.
2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Resynchronize `INSTALL' with the current `configure', and
conversely...

for `autoupdate'.
(AU_DEFUN): Use it.
(AC_OUTPUT): When dispatching your arguments, use ifval, not
ifset!
Dispatch actions to AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS not AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, to
avoid unneeded warnings for obsolete use of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS.
(autoupdate::AC_OUTPUT): New macro.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Writing configure.in, the example): Don't
advocate AC_OUTPUT with args.
(Output, AC_OUTPUT with args): Simplify the documentation, and
provide the translation into the new scheme.
Propagate what remained into the proper sections.
2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

collect the `INIT-CMDS'.
(AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS,
AC_CONFIG_FILES): Use it, and also temporarily divert to -1
instead of spamming dnl everywhere.
(AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Make sure to output the INIT-CMDS
before the other sections, it'd be a pity to initialize after the
use :).
* doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Actions): New section,
documenting the common behavior of AC_CONFIG_FILES,
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, macro AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS, and AC_CONFIG_LINKS.

to AC_OBSOLETE.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_PROVIDE): Use `m4_define', not `define'.
Because of the names pace machinery this change makes `autoconf'
about four times faster on complex `configure.in's.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Open the access to AH_ to users.
* autoheader.m4 (autoheader::AH_DEFUN): New macro.

All callers adapted.
Test m4_wrap.

of the AC_DEFINEd names.
(Default Includes): New subsection. Obvious content.
All the ``callers'' updated.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Don't use `break' to exit the
while loops which are breaking conftest.defines and
conftest.undefs into smaller snippets: just use the proper
condition for the while.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): New section, for
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS.
Move the definition of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS here.

given in the prologue of acoldnames.m4.
* acgeneral.m4 (Prologue): Enter the `autoconf' name space.
(AU_DEFUN): New macro.
* autoupdate.m4: New file.
Disable the name spaces `autoconf', and `libm4'. Disable libm4.
* Makefile.am: Tuned to support the changes above.
* autoupdate.sh: Model after autoconf.sh.
Can run on several files at once (for instance m4/*.m4).
Don't touch files that are up to date.
Run m4 on autoupdate.m4f instead of playing with sed.
Use AU_DEFUN.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES, AC_ENABLE, AC_WITH): Use AU_DEFUN,
remove the call to AC_OBSOLETE.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CYGWIN32): Likewise.

2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Clean up some m4 files.

Don't spread `dnl' everywhere, anyway, we are in a divert(-1).
* autoconf.m4: Likewise.
* autoheader.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Clean up autoconf.

prologue, which is almost common to all the shell scripts of
Autoconf, and the body.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Improve support of name spaces in libm4. Put the m4 builtins
in the `libm4' name space.
* libm4 (m4_changequote, m4_define, m4_defn, m4_dnl, m4_indir,
m4_undefine): Private copies in the global name space. Used by
the name space mechanisms.
(m4_namespace_register): New macro.
(m4_namespace_define): Use it.
(builtin, changequote, defn, dnl, esyscmd, ifdef, ifelse, indir,
patsubst, popdef, pushdef, regexp, undefine, syscmd, sysval): Put
in the `libm4' name space.
(m4_disable, m4_enable): Use the private m4_indir, otherwise once
`libm4' closed, there is no `indir' available, and therefore no
means to reopen a name space.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Output really nothing if AC_INIT was not given. Unconditional
output can be problematic with autoupdate.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_NOTICE): Output ac_includes_default.
(Default includes section): No longer dump ac_includes_default in
AC_DIVERSION_INIT.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* libm4.m4 (m4_namespace_define): Fix a bug: `m4_namespace'
instead of `$1'.
Simplify some excess in quoting.
Use NAMESPACE::MACRONAME instead of `m4_defn(NAMESPACE,
MACRONAME)'.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Adapt autoheader to use libm4's name spaces.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): Removed.
(AH_DEFUN): Define in the `autoheader' name space.
Use only AH_DEFUN to define macros in this file.
(epilogue): No longer run the `AH_HOOKS', enter the `autoheader'
name space.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Clean up a bit the user interface.
* autoconf.sh: Give your name while reporting errors.
Don't spit --help for errors on arguments.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
More temporary files that one can browse when debugging.
Don't ${var}, just $var.
Don't dump --help when the arguments are invalid.
(config_h): Use the empty value instead of `undefined' to check
that it is defined.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Introduce name spaces in libm4.
* libm4.m4 (m4_namespace_push, m4_namespace_pop,
m4_namespace_define, define, m4_disable, m4_enable, m4_rename):
New macros.
(_m4_foreach, _m4_for, m4_wrap): Use m4_define for temporaries.

`define'.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): m4 1.4 is now required.
(Invoking autoconf): A better help on --trace.
(Defining Symbols): Advocate a proper use of the quotes in m4
code, including if the quotes are sometimes useless. It is bad,
very bad not to quote properly, so quote all the examples
properly.
(Cache Files): Use a unary call to define, instead of an empty
$2.
(Using System Type): Watch out TeX wrapping.
(Pretty Help Strings): Don't give too long a snippet of --help.
Promote the coding style of Autoconf. Quote properly.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_PRO): Use AC_PROVIDE instead of defining
yourself. This allows to see everything that is AC_PROVIDEd via
autoconf --trace.
(AC_SPECIALIZE): define'd, not AC_DEFUN'd.
(AC_PROVIDE): Use define with a single arg, instead of an empty $2.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (ac_includes_default): Don't use simple quotes, but
doubles quotes if you want to use \-continuation lines: this is
not recognized by MIPS' sh.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4. Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_LINKS,
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): A space was missing to separate the arguments

Arrange that config.status creates the file with the AC_SUBSTing
engine only if needed.

Use AC_LANG_CASE instead of ifelse (AC_LANG, ...).
(AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC): Quote the body the the AC_DEFUN (whoa, how
could this survive so long?!?).
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Use the style we promote.

not #ifdef and #ifndef, indent CPP directives.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Quote properly AC_SHELL_IFELSE and callers.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_IFELSE): Don't overquote $1.
(AC_VAR_IF_SET, AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_HEADER,
AC_CHECK_DECL, AC_CHECK_FUNC, AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Quote the
first argument of AC_SHELL_IFELSE.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
It seems quite delicate to have AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT insert the
default headers in the INIT section of configure: the reason is
that AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT is called unquoted, and this results in
an un expected behavior. Thanks to Roman V. Shaposhnick for the
details.
The current implementation is not satisfying: the default headers
are defined in the INIT section even if they are not used.
* acgeneral.m4 (Prologue of AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULTS): Dump the
definition of ac_includes_default in the INIT section of
configure.
(AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULTS): Use it.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

AC_CHECK_SIZEOF: Fix a bug, use standard default headers, and
test.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Don't over quote $1, some []
were left in the C code, and had the macro fail.
Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Mention default includes. Explain stdio.h
must always be given.

to avoid warnings from the compiler.
From Paul Eggert.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): Include sys/types.h
Reported by Jim Meyering.

nor /^AC_PROG_\(CC\|CXX\|F77\)_\(GNU\|WORKS\)$/: they are already
tried elsewhere.

2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Proceed as for AC_C_CONST:
condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
Don't document the autoheader template twice, one is enough.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): don't hook on this guy, but
on...
(AC_CONFIG_HEADERS), since the former is defined on the latter.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Use the scheme proposed
by Alexandre Oliva for testing the definition of TYPE:
TYPE *foo;
sizeof (TYPE);
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Don't changequote, there is no need
for it. Just quote properly!
condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
AC_REQUIRE AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
Fix slightly the display of the result (formerly the first run
says `none needed', and later, because of the cache `no').
(AC_C_INLINE, AC_C_VOLATILE): AC_REQUIRE AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
* doc/autoconf.texi (AC_C_CONST): Give a few hints on the
motivation for trusting the C++ compilers.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/atgeneral.m4: Updated.
(AT_CASE): new macro.
(AT_CHECK): Use it. Don't changequote for patsubst, there is no
need.
* tests/syntax.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Don't run AC_ARG_VAR.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
Use AT_CASE.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Test that the macros respect the user variable name space.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_THING): define, not AC_DEFUN.
Don't AC_PROVIDE, there is no need.
When calling `config.sub`, also || exit 1, to catch failures from
config.sub.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Use ac_val, not val.
(AC_EXEEXT): Use ac_file, not file.
* tests/actest.m4: New file, holding extra Autoconf macros used
during the testing.
(AC_ENV_SAVE): New macro, save the sh variables in a file.
* tests/suite.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO, Generation of configure.in):
include actest.m4, and call twice AC_ENV_SAVE to compare the
variables before and after the macro.
* tests/Makefile.am (macro.m4): Don't test macros that are
required: they will be tested somewhere else.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4(AC_CONFIG_PRE_COMMANDS, AC_CONFIG_POST_COMMANDS):
Rename as AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST. All
dependencies changed.
From Jim Meyering.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Start a new series of tests which check the semantics.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): It is not smart to define
ac_Foo, and use AC_Foo. Got rid of AC_Member_Aggregate and
AC_Member_Member which were complicating more than simplifying.
(AC_CHECK_DECLS): Use m4 lists.
(AC_CHECK_TYPES): A comma was missing.
* autoheader.m4: (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Use m4 lists.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): AC_CHECK_DELCS uses m4
lists.
* tests/semantics.m4: New file. Collection of semantical tests:
verify that the tests are positive and negative when appropriate.
Test AC_CHECK_MEMBERS, AC_CHECK_DECLS and AC_CHECK_TYPES.

2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Hide AH_HOOK behind AH_DEFUN.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_DEFUN): New macro. Combination of define and
AH_HOOK.
(AC_TRY_RUN, AC_DEFINE, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED, AC_CHECK_LIB,
AC_CHECK_HEADERS, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_DECLS,
AC_CHECK_FUNCS, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF, AC_PROG_LEX, AC_CHECK_MEMBERS,
AC_CHECK_TYPE, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_CHECK_TYPES, AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED,
AC_AIX, AC_F77_WRAPPERS, AC_CONFIG_HEADER): All the former calls
to define and AH_HOOK in autoheader.m4 are replaced by AH_DEFUN.
2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_RSH, AC_ARG_ARRAY, AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG): No use
to hide, you are DEFUNCT.
1999-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.texi (Invoking ifnames): ifnames no longer supports
--macrodir.
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Run the `syntax' test on acgeneral macros too.
Fix the bugs discovered.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_THING): Quote the
AC_REQUIRE([AC_CANONICAL_HOST]). Bug triggered by the use of
AC_CANONICAL_BUILD alone in configure.in. Also, quote the
arguments of macros (eg, ifelse([$1]...), not ifelse($1...)).
(m4_case): New macro.
(AC_LINKER_OPTION): Don't clash with user's name space
(s/i/ac_link_opt).
(AC_LIST_MEMBER_OF). You mean AC_FATAL, not AC_MSG_ERROR.
Quote properly the argument.
dnl out the empty lines that result from m4 pure code.
Don't pollute the user name space.
Use AC_SHELL_IFELSE.
(AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Don't use `test -o'. There are still
name space problems.
* tests/Makefile.am (macros.m4): Also fetch the macros from
acgeneral.m4.
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Really install this patch.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Allow an
optional $2: exit status.
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Check that the AC_DEFINEs from acspecific.m4 do have a template.
Fix the discovered bugs.
* tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_CHECK): Don't just exit 1 when you want
to propagate the failure of a test: exit with the same exit
status, at least to preserve 77 (=ignore).
* tests/syntax.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Run also autoheader. Don't run
this test on all the macros, some just cannot run without
arguments.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): In the if egrep/fi for
#define templates, add a `:' to prevent syntax errors in
config.status when there are no AC_DEFINE performed.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_TEMPLATE): Don't use _AC_SH_QUOTE here, use it
in...
(AH_VERBATIM): here. Now AH_C_UNSIGNED_CHAR is no longer failing
(formerly it would produce a non backslashed backquote, which
made sh choke).
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Introduce a means to distinguish failures of `configure' due to
extern software (so that the test suite doesn't fail on them).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Allow an
optional $2: exit status.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Document.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, PROG_CXX_WORKS,
AC_PROG_F77_WORKS): Exit 77 if the compiler does not work.
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Clean up a bit the handling of the LANG stack. More is needed.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_CASE): New macro.
(AC_LANG_RESTORE): Use m4_case.
(AC_LINKER_OPTION): Use AC_LANG_CASE.
1999-11-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Fixed a typo which
prevented `make distcheck' from succeeding.
* texinfo.tex: Updated for the same reasons.
1999-11-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Introduce a new style of testing, independent from DejaGNU.
Introduce the logistics.
* configure.in: Initialize AT, and output tests/atconfig, and
tests/Makefile.
* m4/atconfig.m4: New file.
* m4/Makefile.am: Adjusted.
* aclocal.m4: Include atconfig.m4.
* Makefile.am: Adjusted.
* tests/Makefile.am: New file.
* tests/atgeneral.m4: Likewise.
* tests/atconfig.in: Likewise.
Write tests.
* tests/syntax.m4: New file, in charge of checking the validity of
the sh code produced by the macros defined in acspecific.m4.
acgeneral.m4 is not checked here, because these macros require
arguments.
* tests/suite.m4: New file. Run syntax.m4.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
A test suite will be introduced which tries to run all the
specific macros, but hasbeen'd macro make configure die with bad
exit status. So we wish to distinguish live macros from defunct
macros at the moment they are AC_DEFUN'd, not in their body. Hm,
defunct, defunct... Hey! That's a good name!
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUNCT): New macro, comparable to AC_DEFUN,
but for macros which are no longer defined. Replaces AC_HASBEEN.
(AC_HASBEEN): Defunct. Well, removed in fact.
(AC_HAVE_LIBRARY): Don't use AC_DEFUN and AC_HASBEEN, just
AC_DEFUNCT.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_UNISTD_H, AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H, AC_DIR_HEADER,
AC_INT_16_BITS, AC_LONG_64_BITS): Likewise.
(AC_XENIX_DIR): It was defunct even before I declared it was: was
depending upon AC_DIR_HEADER which is defunct. So AC_DEFUNCT'ed
now.
(AC_DYNIX_SEQ, AC_IRIX_SUN, AC_SCO_INTL): While we're here, you
too are defunct now.
* autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Replace the documentation of
AC_HASBEEN with that of AC_DEFUNCT.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh: Formatting changes.
Removed development junk.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
* autoconf.m4: Likewise.
* autoheader.m4: Likewise.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Let Autoconf use autoconf's `--install'.

* m4/init.am: New file, required by Automake.
* m4/missing.am: Likewise.
* m4/sanity.am: Likewise.
* aclocal.m4: Include them.
* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Added m4/Makefile.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Make autoconf support --install.
* autoconf.sh (task install): New task. Extract the set of
auxiliary m4 files a configure.in depends upon. Install links
from library files to the local dir so that the packages depends
only on local extensions. Check that the user includes exactly
the files she needs.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Require GNU m4 1.4 (well 1.3 in fact).
Because we are ready to handle the case where there are no frozen
files, we *have* to pass a -I, which is dangerous in conjunction
with the silent including of `aclocal.m4': you may include things
that were not expected. Since anyway handling pre 1.3 complicates
the task, just require an m4 which supports reloading of frozen
files.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): Check for --reload.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* configure.in: Explicitly state the m4 version you want.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
No need for foo="`bar`", foo=`bar` is fine.
Simplify ${foo} and ${1} into $foo and $1.
* acgeneral.m4 (ac_LF_and_DOT): Remove the double quotes.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O): Likewise.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Remove all the code and messages related to
AC_MACRODIR, since ifnames is not related to macros in anyway.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
New version of AC_INCLUDE, which does not glob, nor rely upon the
shell. Add AC_INCLUDES too. Help tracking multiple inclusions.
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_errprint, m4_warn, m4_fatal): New macros,
variations around errprint.
(m4_include_unique): New macro which registers what are the files
already included, and warns if some are included several times.
(m4_include, m4_sinclude): New macro, using m4_include_unique.
(AC_INCLUDE): Is now just a wrapper of m4_include.
(AC_INIT): Use m4_sinclude, not sinclude.
(_AC_ERRPRINT): Removed, m4_errprint is here!
(AC_WARNING, AC_FATAL): Wrappers of m4_warn and m4_fatal.
1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoheader.sh: No longer rely on a system acconfig.h.
1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Be kind to Automake: list the arguments of selected macros
(for instance AC_SUBST will list each variable which may be
substitued).
* autoconf.sh (--trace, --output): New options.
Implement tracing of macros.
trap also on 0, so that there is no need to rm here and there.
* autoconf.texi (Output): Document --trace and --output.
1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Clean up the macros for testing members of aggregates.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): FATAL if $1 has no dot in it.
Use AC_INCLUDE_DEFAULTS.
(AC_C_STRUCT_MEMBER): Removed.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Adapted to AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE, AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV): Adapted to
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS and obsoleted.
(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS): Adapted to AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
* autoconf.texi (AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE, HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV):
Explain they are obsoleted, and how to migrate.
(AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS, AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Explain that the
AC_DEFINE changed (but the former #defines remain defined
currently).
(AC_C_STRUCT_MEMBER): Removed, replaced by the definitions of
AC_CHECK_MEMBER and AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Install a uniform set of default includes.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): New macro. Expands in its
argument if non empty, otherwise a default list of includes.
(AC_CHECK_DECL, AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
* autoconf.texi: Adjusted.
1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoheader.m4 (AH_FUNC_ALLOCA, AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, AH_AIX):
Don't leave `[]dnl' in pseudo #-comment (actually CPP directives).
1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Fix a bit of the brokenness of AC_CHECK_TYPE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): New macro, inspired from
the former AC_CHECK_TYPE. This macro is exactly the one that
ought to be named AC_CHECK_TYPE: it just checks, and executes user
actions. In the future, this macro ought to be renamed
AC_CHECK_TYPE.
There is a big difference with the former AC_CHECK_TYPE: instead
of grepping in the headers, it tries to compile a variable
declaration. This is both safer, slower, and better, since now we
can check for compiler types (e.g., unsigned long long).
(AC_CHECK_TYPES): The looping and AC_DEFINEing version of the
previous macro. Uses m4 loops.
(AC_CHECK_TYPE): Reimplemented on top of AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_CHECK_TYPE, AH_CHECK_TYPES): New macros,
hooked.
* autoconf.texi (@ovar): New macro, for optional variables.
(Generic Typedefs): Document AC_CHECK_TYPES.
* autoheader.texi: (AH_CHECK_TYPE, AH_CHECK_TYPES): New macros.
(Epilogue): Hooks them.
1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Update autoupdate.
* acoldnames.m4: Sort the two sections.
* acoldnames.m4 (AM_CYGWIN32, AM_EXEEXT, AM_FUNC_FNMATCH,
AM_FUNC_MKTIME, AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, AM_MINGW32, AM_PROG_INSTALL,
fp_FUNC_FNMATCH): Added their new names.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Create man pages for the executables.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `man' and prepend `.' so that
executables be built before help2man is run.
* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add man/Makefile.
AC_MSG_ERROR, not AC_ERROR.
Check for missing help2man.
* man/Makefile.am: New file.
* man/autoconf.x: Likewise.
* man/autoreconf.x: Likewise.
* man/autoheader.x: Likewise.

* man/common.x: Likewise.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Reformating of configure and
config.status --help.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Implement `config.status
--file' and `--header'.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoheader.m4 (AH_TEMPLATE): Quote $2 once, now _AC_SH_QUOTE
behaves properly.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Allow a second argument,
commands to run, as AC_CONFIG_FILES and HEADERS.
(AC_LIST_LINKS_COMMANDS): New growing string. Initialize.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Use it.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Don't

* configure.in: Use it.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Provide a means to specify commands to run before config.status is
created (and, for symmetry, after it is created).
This is typically needed by Automake so that AC_REPLACEd functions
go through deansification via
LIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o /\$U.o /g;s/\.o$/\$U.o/'`
and/or by Libtool which needs to define LTLIBOBJS and others:
LTLIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o/\.lo/g'`
AC_SUBST(LTLIBOBJS)
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_PRE_COMMANDS): New growing string.

Create AC_CONFIG_HEADERS which has the same interface as the other
AC_CONFIG_*S.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): New macro, with the same
interface as AC_CONFIG_LINKS and AC_CONFIG_FILES.
(AC_LIST_HEADERS_COMMANDS): New growing string, initialize it.
(AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Rename as...
(AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): this, for consistency.
(AC_CONFIG_HEADER): New macro, which calls AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS.
(AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): The square brackets for sed and grep were
not properly quoted: use @BKL@ and @BKR@.
(AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Run the AC_LIST_HEADERS_COMMANDS.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Once config.status created, before
running it, trap to `exit 1' so that config.status is not removed
if configure is interrupted when config.status is complete.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When recognizing
arguments, accept only foo, and no longer foo:foo.in etc.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Formating changes.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
config.status: Speed up the creation of config headers (about four
times faster on Linux).
The previous scheme had three sed commands for each AC_DEFINE: one
for #define templates, and two for #undef templates (with or
without trailing spaces). Divide this in three sed scripts
instead: a one liner that removes the trailing spaces, one for
#defines, and then the last for #undef.
The real speed up comes from the fact that the #define script
starts by checkin if the current input line has a #define, and if
not the script immediately goes to the next line, without running
the rest of the script as was the case before. Equally for the
#undef script.
Note that this way, users that don't use #define templates don't
pay too much the overhead, since the sed script `realizes' quickly
there are no #define lines. My test case runs in 0.32s with
#define templates, and 0.24s without. To improve this common
case, the whole code for #define templates is conditionalized by a
proper egrep call. The result runs is 0.24s, i.e., almost no cost
at all.
I made one dangerous change that I carefully evaluated before
commiting: the sed scripts are cut at 48 lines instead of 12 as
before. This produces here docs of about 4Kb. I checked many
`configure's and they all have big here documents, much bigger
than the 12 lines (for instance AC_FUNC_MMAP produces a 150 lines
long, 3800+ character here document). So I moved to the well
known HP UX sed limitations: no more than 100 commands, and there
are two commands per line now, plus a two command preamble. The
speed up is noticeable.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Remove the ac_e
family.
Changed ac_uD and ac_dD to `...;t t', instead of `...g'.
Instead of creating `conftest.vals' with both ac_e, ac_d,
and ac_u family, preprocess to strip the trailing spaces, and
create `conftest.defines' with the ac_d family, and then
`conftest.undefs' for the ac_e family.
Break up both `conftest.defines' and `conftest.undefs'. Insert a
top label and a global test for `#defines' and `#undef' before.
Call `conftest.defines' if there are #define in the input.
Call `conftest.undefs'.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4: Prefer `>file' over `> file' etc.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Rename the family AC_NEED_DECL as AC_CHECK: it is more uniform,
but keep defining NEED_FOO_DECL when `foo' is not declared. Files
not using Autoconf behave better when declarations lacks than when
they are wrong. So the unset position should off, hence #if NEEDS
instead of #if !HAVE (which is triggered when HAVE is not set).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_NEED_DECL): Rename as...
(AC_CHECK_DECL): This. Make sure the arguments are the usual
IF-FOUND, IF-NOT-FOUND.
(AC_NEED_DECLS, AC_CHECK_DECLS): Likewise.
* autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Document the changes
aforementioned.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_NEED_DECLS): Rename as
(AH_CHECK_DECLS): This.
(AH_HOOKS): Hook AH_CHECK_DECLS on AC_CHECK_DECLS instead of
_NEED_.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Revamp the handling of the arguments of config.status: instead of
looping over config_files etc. to recognize the file names, use
the case which handles the options.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
* acgeneral.m4 (ifset): Rename as...
(ifval): This. All callers changed.
(ifset): New macro, which tests if a macro is set to a non empty
value.
* acgeneral.m4: Initialize growing lists and strings to empty, to
ease the tests.
(AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Quote AC_LIST_HEADERS in the define, to handle
the case AC_LIST_HEADERS is initialized.
* acgeneral.m4: (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): New macro, pulled out
from...
(AC_OUTPUT): Instead of using $1, $2 and $3, pass them to the
official macros (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS).
Call AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS.
(option handling): Use the case-esac to recognize arguments.
(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Fix the missing fi;done.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Add a means to specify commands to be run by config.status. At
the difference of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, require that the set of
commands be named, so that both
CONFIG_COMMANDS=foo ./config.status
and
./config.status foo
perform the Right Thing.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Also check in
AC_LIST_COMMANDS.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove a dead pushdef.
(AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS): New macro.
(AC_LIST_COMMANDS): New config list.

in config.status.
(AC_OUTPUT): Take AC_LIST_COMMANDS into account.
(AC_OUTPUT): Call AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_COMMANDS.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
New macro: AC_CONFIG_FILES which is very much like AC_OUTPUT but
that one associates commands to run when a config file is created.
For instance for a shell script `foo', one uses
AC_CONFIG_FILES(foo, chmod +x foo).
In addition, check that the same name is never used twice in
config files, headers, subdirs and links.
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_append): Don't insert new line between
elements.
(m4_list_append): New macro.
(AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): New macro which tests if a file is member
of a config list.
(AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): New macro which ensures that a config file
name is not yet used.
(AC_CONFIG_HEADER, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Use
AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_FILES): New macro.
(AC_LIST_FILES): New list, which stores arguments of
AC_CONFIG_LISTS the same as AC_LIST_LINKS stores AC_CONFIG_LINKS
etc.
(AC_OUTPUT): No longer rely on $1 to designate the config files:
register them via AC_CONFIG_FILES. All uses of $1 replaced by
uses of AC_LIST_FILES.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Run the commands associated to the
CONFIG_FILES.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (Looking for bugs): In addition to AC_, match AH_
and AM_.
1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

(C Compiler Characteristics): Document AC_C_PROTOTYPES.
* testsuite/autoconf.s/defines.exp: Changed `fail' and `pass' in
`xfail' and `xpass'. The test suite checks that acconfig.h
templates the AC_DEFINEs. Since we no longer rely on acconfig.h,
the test is obsolete.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_BINSH, AC_PROG_SED): Don't quote the name

Shell meta characters in an argument causes the configure script
to freak out and generate a config.status file that contains
syntax errors.
Bug triggered by ./configure --with-foobar=\''`"$'.

The sed quoting script depends on the shape of the commands used
by AC_SUBST. The latter was changed, but not the former.
Bug triggered with FOO='%\c' AC_SUBST(FOO).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Fix the sed quoting script.
1999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
When you rely on the `t' flag of sed for the immediately
preceding substitution, use a combination of `: foo; t foo'.
Bug triggered if you AC_DEFINE(FOO, "%").
Additionally, work around a bug in IRIX sed.
Suggested by Ken Pizzini.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Added a label and a test in the
sed code of `$ac_cs_root.hdr'.

used by AC_HEADER_DIRENT.
* autoheader.m4: Restablish the hook for AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT):
Reinserted.
1999-10-02 Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>

and shift, rename them to m4_eval, etc.
1999-10-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
AC_DIR_HEADERS is hasbeen'ed.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_DIR_HEADER): Raised from obsolete to hasbeen.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT):

AC_LONG_64_BITS.
1999-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Make the handling of the configuration links (AC_LINK_FILES)
exactly the same as that of configurations files (AC_OUTPUT_FILES)
and headers (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS). As a result, it is sane to run
./config.status src/libmy_lib
or
CONFIG_LINKS=src/lib_mylib:lib/lib_mylib ./config.status
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Use AC_FATAL to diagnose bad
number of argument.
Obsoleted (but implemented) in favor of AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): New macro. Takes space
separated list of DEST:SOURCES arguments.
* acgeneral.m4: Rename each occurence of AC_LIST_HEADER as
AC_LIST_HEADERS for consistency.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT, config.status prologue): Move the
definition of config_files and config_headers to the top.
Add the definition of config_links.
Change the help message to use the aforementioned variables.

AC_LIST_LINKS.
* autoconf.texi (Output, AC_OUTPUT): Mention AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
(Invoking config.status): Mention CONFIG_LINKS.
* autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Document AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
Explicit the obsoleteness of AC_LINK_FILES.
1999-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Moving most of the task of creating config.h.in from sh to m4.
Getting rid of acconfig.h by supply a major new family of macros:
AH_* which make it possible to insert arbitrary text into
config.h.in.
* autoheader.m4: Major rewrite: introduction of a set of macros
AH_ that produce code into config.h.in. There are two sets of
macros: generic macros, or specialized, documented below. The
basic idea is that an AC_FOO macro which needs an entry in
config.h.in should have a sibling AH_FOO which expands into that
entry. In a near future, these macros will be moved next to their
siblings.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, AH_DEFINE, AH_DEFINE, AH_NEED_DECLS,
AH_CHECK_SIZEOF, AH_CHECK_FUNCS, AH_CHECK_HEADERS,
AH_CHECK_HEADERS, AH_CHECK_LIB, AH_PROG_LEX, AH_FUNC_ALLOCA,
AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, AH_AIX, AH_F77_WRAPPERS): New macros.
* autoheader.m4 (End section): Bind AC_ macros to their
AH_siblings.
* autoheader.sh: Remove the sections in charge of SYMS, TYPES,
FUNCS, HEADERS, LIBS and DECLS: autoheader.m4 is now in charge of
these.
* autoheader.sh (options): Added -d, --debug, which does not
remove the temporary files.
* autoheader.sh: Instead of redirecting stdout to the output
stream, always output to a temporary file. This allows to change
slightly the consistency check: before autoheader would check that
each non documented AC_DEFINE is templated in an acconfig. Now it
just checks whether the template is in the output file.
* acconfig.h: Completely emptied, the remaining templates
(_ALL_SOURCE, __CHAR_UNSIGNED__, F77_FUNC, F77_FUNC_,
HAVE_STRINGIZE, and STACK_DIRECTION) are now either associated to
their AC_DEFINE, or to one of the new AH_ macros.
* acgeneral.m4: Reordering of the m4 macros which are not specific
to Autoconf.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HAVE_LIB): Promoted from obsolete to hasbeen.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_CPP): Fixed quoting problem, and missing ^
in patsubst.
(AC_TR_SH): Fixed quoting problem.
1999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): Don't output an extra space after the
last word.
1999-09-29 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Check for the kstat_open()
function in libkstat (on systems such as Solaris). This family of
functions is preferred since they don't require setgid permissions

AC_LONG_64_BITS): Promoted from obsolete to hasbeen.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Define via AC_DEFINE, so
that we program things only once.
(AC_DEFINE): Use AC_WRAP and _AC_SH_QUOTE. It is now safe to have
backquotes and extra spaces in the third argument, without
yielding a bad result.

(AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Adapted.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR): Remove, it is useless.
(AC_TR_CPP): Updated version of formerly AC_TR_DEFINE, based on
the model of AC_TR_SH.
All callers changed.
* autoconf.sh (Checking for Bugs): Remove the indirection that
made the `sort -u' useless.
1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (Last sed cmd): Change also @PND@ to `#', since this
is also a symbol very hard to quote in m4.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Use AC_VAR_*.
* acgeneral.m4: Use `m4_BUILTIN' instead of indirection via
`builtin'.
1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

(AC_VAR_IF_SET): Use it.
(AC_CHECK_FUNC): Likewise.
* Makefile.in (${srcdir}/configure): Use autoconf.sh to build
Autoconf's configure. Before the building was performed running

@BKL@... expansion)
1999-09-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1999-09-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Improve configure's --help.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Change the root of filenames of
config.status from $conftest to $confstat.
The previous patch to make config.status reentrant was wrong,
because it changed some `conftest' that are used by configure into
`$conftest', while it was for config.status only. To avoid
another confusion like this, all the filenames of config.status
should be `$confstat*', and those of configure should be
`conftest*'.
(AC_OUTPUT): Rename the uses of `ac_file' for the sed fragments as
`ac_sed_frag'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): This macro used to open the here
documents that configure uses to generate config.status, included
that of the submacros. Now, it no longer handles the here
documents for its subroutines (it was far to hard to track).
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Open and close your here documents to
$CONFIG_STATUS.
(AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Move $ac_vpsub and $extrasub
from the AC_SUBST substitutions (i.e., that of @SHELL@ etc.) to
the specific section (that of @srcdir@ etc.).
Now the ``general substitution'' section is absolutely uniform.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SUBST): Change sed call from `s%@from@%to%g'
into `s%@from@%to%;t t'.
(AC_SUBST_FILE): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Optimize the sed scripts by branching if there
are no `@' on the line. Impressive speed up.
* Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add THANKS.
* THANKS: New file.
1999-09-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

* autoconf.texi, install.texi: Document it.
* configure: Rebuilt.
1999-09-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Rewrite in m4. Have m4 work, and
give a break to sh.
(_AC_FOREACH): Be careful not to evaluate the arguments. A loop
over *quoted* macro names should loop over the macro names, not
upon their expansion.
(_AC_COMMATIZE): Also swallow end of lines.
* autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Updated to reflect the
changes.
1999-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (ifset): New helpy tiny macro.
(AC_OUTPUT): Improved --help of config.status.
(AC_OUTPUT): Remove inconditionaly all the files to be updated.
(AC_OUTPUT): Use pid to define the temporary file names in order
to allow parallel builds.
* autoconf.sh: Substitute also /@BKL@/[/ /@BKR@/]/ /@DLR@/$/ so
that these characters are more easily accessible from m4 without
turning changequote juggling into a nightmare.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): New macro, for word wrapping.
* autoconf.texi: Update the direntry for more modern Texinfos.
Add pointer to configure and config.status.
Remove the dots from the menus: horizontal space is precious.
(Invoking config.status): More traditional presentation of the options.
1999-09-07 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* autoreconf.sh: Recognise -v as a synonym for --verbose.
1999-09-07 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* Makefile.in (INSTALL, standards.info, autoconf.info): MiKTeX
for Windows treats all options after the first filename as
additional filenames, so real options must appear before the first
filename.
1999-09-07 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
* autoconf.texi (LDFLAGS, LIBS): Document that -L linker flags
should be kept in LDFLAGS and not LIBS.

`Makefile', but also `makefile'.
1999-09-04 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
* Makefile.in (install): Don't freak if the M4FROZEN files were
never generated. m4 1.1 is supported, but doesn't freeze files.
1999-09-04 Scott Bambrough <scottb@netwinder.org>
* config.guess: Autodetect ArmLinux using 2.9.1.xx linker
emulation names and using the emulation names from the linker from
the binutils CVS tree.

1999-09-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_ACVERSION): Bump to 2.14.1 to differenciate the
experimental branch from the main trunk.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_FOREACH_COMMA): New macro, to perform m4 loops
on m4 lists (i.e., list='(item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)').
(AC_FOREACH): New macro, to perform m4 loops on shell lists (i.e.,
list='item_1 item_2 ... item_n').
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN): Now accept two other optionnal
parameters: the name of the macro which is specialized here, and
the name of the first argument. For instance `AC_CHECK_FNMATCH'
should be declared as specializing `AC_CHECK_FUNC' for `fnmatch'
as first argument.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILES): Use AC_FOREACH for looping,
instead of the shell's loop.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR): In addition to transliteration, provide a
means to specify the valid destination alphabet and a default
character for aliens characters. This is in order to remove
characters such as `+:-' etc. that may appear in file names, but
are not valid for shell variables or #defines.
(AC_TR_DEFINE): New macro, maps anything to a valid uppercase
#define rhs.
(AC_TR_UPCASE_NAME): Replaced by AC_TR_DEFINE. All callers
changed.
(AC_TR_UPCASE_FILE): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_SH): Don't use the generic AC_TR: there is a
difficult problem of quoting between m4 and sh. Use the variable
$ac_tr_sh to work around this difficulty.
(AC_VAR_TEST_SET): New macro, which tests if a variable is set.
(AC_VAR_IF_SET): New `ifelse' macro.
(AC_CACHE_VAL): Use AC_VAR_IF_SET.
(AC_INIT_NOTICE): Define $ac_tr_sh.

portably in a sed \(\) group.

flag the error that triggers setting the variable.
Tue Nov 18 14:21:38 1997 Eric Mumpower <nocturne@cygnus.com>
* autoreconf.sh: Do the right thing when AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
given more than one filename. As noted in the "Invoking
autoheader" node of the info files, autoheader will use the first
file argument given to AC_CONFIG_HEADER. Prior to this patch,

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move initialization of
ac_max_here_lines here from AC_OUTPUT_HEADER.
* autoheader.sh: Take the multiple-include protection back out.
It's not needed for a file that just #defines stuff, and, as Ken
Raeburn pointed out in Apr 1994:
Since you don't make it optional, and you don't give the writer of
configure.in much control over the name of the symbol, it also would
prevent one "config.h" file in a subdirectory from including
"../config.h" as a way to avoid duplicating some common tests.

compiler works before checking whether it's a GNU compiler.

(AC_FUNC_STRFTIME): Check for it in -lintl only if it's not in the
normal libraries.

Tromey.
(check): Depend on dejacheck.

conftest.subs into multiple files named conftest.s[1-9][0-9]*.
Create a pipeline of sed commands that use these files, then delete
the temporary files. From John W. Eaton.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_AIX, AC_MINIX): Remove warnings about AC_TRY_LINK.
These macros don't change the linkage options.
* Test release 2.10.2.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX) [GCC]: Use -O2 instead
of -O. Suggested by fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).

AC_CONFIG_HEADER a value containing shell variables. Suggested by
Markku Savela and Julian Onions.

From fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Rename ac_save_LIBS to avoid
a clash with AC_CHECK_LIB.
From Jim Meyering.
(AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3,
AC_FUNC_STRCOLL, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Rename cache variables to avoid
wrong results if someone calls AC_CHECK_FUNC for these functions.
* autoheader.sh: Don't cmp with config.h.in if it doesn't exist yet.
Don't frob lines 1-@TOP@ or @BOTTOM@-end of acconfig.h's.
Accept TAB as well as SPC after #undef in acconfig.h's.

format. From Marcus Daniels.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_CHECKING, AC_CHECKING): Write a message to
config.log also. From T.E.Dickey.
(AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Replace use of
tr with sed, to avoid a bug in the AIX 4.1.3.0 tr reported by
Alain Knaff. He says that version of tr interprets \055 as a
range specifier, like an unquoted -.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT,
AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Ditto.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): New macro.

Rearrange logic: do no tests if $with_x=no; make incl and lib
tests independent, and distinguish unset from empty.
* autoconf.sh (undefined macro check): \ sed \s inside "". If
grep $name in $infile misses, give error message that there must
be an Autoconf bug.
Tue Dec 19 10:49:20 1995 David J. MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
