autoconf/lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4
Akim Demaille e491f83180 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
including when the cache is used.
There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
(one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
(its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
* bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
Use them.
(@preselect): Add m4_warn.
($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
(&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
At each run, extract and report the warnings.
Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
failure, hence we can use the cache.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
(_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
Remove.
(m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
the latter reveals calls to the former.
Adjust the tests.
* tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.

# Implementing `foreach' loops in m4 is much more tricky than it may
# seem. Actually, the example of a `foreach' loop in the m4
# documentation is wrong: it does not quote the arguments properly,
# which leads to undesirable expansions.
#
# The example in the documentation is:
#
# | # foreach(VAR, (LIST), STMT)

# | [m4_define([$1], _arg1$2)$3[]_foreach([$1],
# | (shift$2),
# | [$3])])])
#
# But then if you run
#
# | m4_define(a, 1)
# | m4_define(b, 2)
# | m4_define(c, 3)
# | foreach([f], [([a], [(b], [c)])], [echo f
# | ])
#
# it gives
#
# => echo 1
# => echo (2,3)
#
# which is not what is expected.
#
# Of course the problem is that many quotes are missing. So you add
# plenty of quotes at random places, until you reach the expected
# result. Alternatively, if you are a quoting wizard, you directly
# reach the following implementation (but if you really did, then
# apply to the maintenance of m4sugar!).
#
# | # foreach(VAR, (LIST), STMT)

# | [$3])])])
#
# which this time answers
#
# => echo a
# => echo (b
# => echo c)
#
# Bingo!
#
# Well, not quite.
#
# With a better look, you realize that the parens are more a pain than
# a help: since anyway you need to quote properly the list, you end up
# with always using an outermost pair of parens and an outermost pair
# of quotes. Rejecting the parens both eases the implementation, and
# simplifies the use:
#
# | # foreach(VAR, (LIST), STMT)

# | [$3])])])
#
#
# Now, just replace the `$2' with `m4_quote($2)' in the outer `m4_if'
# to improve robustness, and you come up with a quite satisfactory
# implementation.

## 8. Defining macros with bells and whistles. ##
## -------------------------------------------- ##
# `m4_defun' is basically `m4_define' but it equips the macro with the
# needed machinery for `m4_require'. A macro must be m4_defun'd if
# either it is m4_require'd, or it m4_require's.
#
# Two things deserve attention and are detailed below:
# 1. Implementation of m4_require
# 2. Keeping track of the expansion stack
#
# 1. Implementation of m4_require
# ===============================
#
# Of course m4_defun AC_PROVIDE's the macro, so that a macro which has
# been expanded is not expanded again when m4_require'd, but the
# difficult part is the proper expansion of macros when they are
# m4_require'd.
#
# The implementation is based on two ideas, (i) using diversions to
# prepare the expansion of the macro and its dependencies (by Franc,ois
# Pinard), and (ii) expand the most recently m4_require'd macros _after_
# the previous macros (by Axel Thimm).
#
#
# The first idea: why using diversions?
# -------------------------------------
#
# When a macro requires another, the other macro is expanded in new
# diversion, GROW. When the outer macro is fully expanded, we first
# undivert the most nested diversions (GROW - 1...), and finally
# undivert GROW. To understand why we need several diversions,
# consider the following example:
#
# | m4_defun([TEST1], [Test...REQUIRE([TEST2])1])
# | m4_defun([TEST2], [Test...REQUIRE([TEST3])2])
# | m4_defun([TEST3], [Test...3])
#
# Because m4_require is not required to be first in the outer macros, we
# must keep the expansions of the various level of m4_require separated.
# Right before executing the epilogue of TEST1, we have:
#
# GROW - 2: Test...3
# GROW - 1: Test...2
# GROW: Test...1
# BODY:
#
# Finally the epilogue of TEST1 undiverts GROW - 2, GROW - 1, and
# GROW into the regular flow, BODY.
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW:
# BODY: Test...3; Test...2; Test...1
#
# (The semicolons are here for clarification, but of course are not
# emitted.) This is what Autoconf 2.0 (I think) to 2.13 (I'm sure)
# implement.
#
#
# The second idea: first required first out
# -----------------------------------------
#
# The natural implementation of the idea above is buggy and produces
# very surprising results in some situations. Let's consider the
# following example to explain the bug:
#
# | m4_defun([TEST1], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])REQUIRE([TEST2b])])
# | m4_defun([TEST2a], [])
# | m4_defun([TEST2b], [REQUIRE([TEST3])])
# | m4_defun([TEST3], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])])
# |
# | AC_INIT
# | TEST1
#
# The dependencies between the macros are:
#
# 3 --- 2b
# / \ is m4_require'd by
# / \ left -------------------- right
# 2a ------------ 1
#
# If you strictly apply the rules given in the previous section you get:
#
# GROW - 2: TEST3
# GROW - 1: TEST2a; TEST2b
# GROW: TEST1
# BODY:
#
# (TEST2a, although required by TEST3 is not expanded in GROW - 3
# because is has already been expanded before in GROW - 1, so it has
# been AC_PROVIDE'd, so it is not expanded again) so when you undivert
# the stack of diversions, you get:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW:
# BODY: TEST3; TEST2a; TEST2b; TEST1
#
# i.e., TEST2a is expanded after TEST3 although the latter required the
# former.
#
# Starting from 2.50, uses an implementation provided by Axel Thimm.
# The idea is simple: the order in which macros are emitted must be the
# same as the one in which macro are expanded. (The bug above can
# indeed be described as: a macro has been AC_PROVIDE'd, but it is
# emitted after: the lack of correlation between emission and expansion
# order is guilty).
#
# How to do that? You keeping the stack of diversions to elaborate the
# macros, but each time a macro is fully expanded, emit it immediately.
#
# In the example above, when TEST2a is expanded, but it's epilogue is
# not run yet, you have:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1: TEST2a
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY:
#
# The epilogue of TEST2a emits it immediately:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY: TEST2a
#
# TEST2b then requires TEST3, so right before the epilogue of TEST3, you
# have:
#
# GROW - 2: TEST3
# GROW - 1: Elaboration of TEST2b
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY: TEST2a
#
# The epilogue of TEST3 emits it:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1: Elaboration of TEST2b
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3
#
# TEST2b is now completely expanded, and emitted:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3; TEST2b
#
# and finally, TEST1 is finished and emitted:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW:
# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3; TEST2b: TEST1
#
# The idea, is simple, but the implementation is a bit evolved. If you
# are like me, you will want to see the actual functioning of this
# implementation to be convinced. The next section gives the full
# details.
#
#
# The Axel Thimm implementation at work
# -------------------------------------
#
# We consider the macros above, and this configure.ac:
#
# AC_INIT
# TEST1
#
# You should keep the definitions of _m4_defun_pro, _m4_defun_epi, and
# m4_require at hand to follow the steps.
#
# This implements tries not to assume that of the current diversion is
# BODY, so as soon as a macro (m4_defun'd) is expanded, we first
# record the current diversion under the name _m4_divert_dump (denoted
# DUMP below for short). This introduces an important difference with
# the previous versions of Autoconf: you cannot use m4_require if you
# were not inside an m4_defun'd macro, and especially, you cannot
# m4_require directly from the top level.
#
# We have not tried to simulate the old behavior (better yet, we
# diagnose it), because it is too dangerous: a macro m4_require'd from
# the top level is expanded before the body of `configure', i.e., before
# any other test was run. I let you imagine the result of requiring
# AC_STDC_HEADERS for instance, before AC_PROG_CC was actually run....
#
# After AC_INIT was run, the current diversion is BODY.
# * AC_INIT was run
# DUMP: undefined

#
# * TEST1 is expanded
# The prologue of TEST1 sets AC_DIVERSION_DUMP, which is the diversion

# expansion of TEST1 and its dependencies will be elaborated.

#
# 2. Keeping track of the expansion stack
# =======================================
#
# When M4 expansion goes wrong it is often extremely hard to find the
# path amongst macros that drove to the failure. What is needed is
# the stack of macro `calls'. One could imagine that GNU M4 would
# maintain a stack of macro expansions, unfortunately it doesn't, so
# we do it by hand. This is of course extremely costly, but the help
# this stack provides is worth it. Nevertheless to limit the
# performance penalty this is implemented only for m4_defun'd macros,
# not for define'd macros.
#
# The scheme is simplistic: each time we enter an m4_defun'd macros,
# we prepend its name in m4_expansion_stack, and when we exit the
# macro, we remove it (thanks to pushdef/popdef).
#
# In addition, we want to use the expansion stack to detect circular
# m4_require dependencies. This means we need to browse the stack to
# check whether a macro being expanded is m4_require'd. For ease of
# implementation, and certainly for the benefit of performances, we
# don't browse the m4_expansion_stack, rather each time we expand a
# macro FOO we define _m4_expanding(FOO). Then m4_require(BAR) simply
# needs to check whether _m4_expanding(BAR) is defined to diagnose a
# circular dependency.
#
# To improve the diagnostic, in addition to keeping track of the stack
# of macro calls, m4_expansion_stack also records the m4_require
# stack. Note that therefore an m4_defun'd macro being required will
# appear twice in the stack: the first time because it is required,
# the second because it is expanded. We can avoid this, but it has
# two small drawbacks: (i) the implementation is slightly more
# complex, and (ii) it hides the difference between define'd macros
# (which don't appear in m4_expansion_stack) and m4_defun'd macros
# (which do). The more debugging information, the better.

# Then notice the 2 last patterns: they are in charge of removing the
# leading/trailing spaces. Why not just `[^ ]'? Because they are
# applied to doubly quoted strings, i.e. more or less [[STRING]]. So
# if there is a leading space in STRING, then it is the *third*
