* doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
under node "Limitations of Builtins".
2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/install.texi: Better wording for setting variables when
running configure.
From Christian Cornelssen.
2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
course.
Be sure to protect it.
Reported by Patrick Welche.
2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
if some of its input are younger, make them older.
Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.

* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
DEFAULT diversion.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
(_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
(AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the
_AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in
_AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after autoconf and
autoheader, so that automake does not complain about a missing
config.h.in that was to be created.
2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.
Fixes PR/220.
2002-04-22 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Remove gmon.out
and bb.out when cleaning up.
2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

tests/atspecific.m4, tests/semantics.at, tests/torture.at:
Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate
the manual now.

that is not portable to Zsh.
2002-04-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_macros): Honor AU_DEFUNs
from aclocal.m4 too.
2002-04-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/wrappl.as: New, M4sh precursor of wrappl.in.
2002-04-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Install the Zsh

part into...
(_AS_PREPARE): this new macro.

* tests/m4sh.at (AT_DATA_LINENO): Use _AS_PREPARE.
Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
Invoke _AS_PREPARE (not AS_PREPARE) in addition to
AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
* tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
* tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
on Autotest and M4sh.
($(TESTSUITE)): Use $(autotest_m4f_dependencies).
(wrapsh.in): New target.
* bin/autoconf.as: New, precursor of autoconf.in.
(autoconf.in): New target.
2002-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the issue
with indented comments in rules.
2002-04-09 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
Extracted from...
(AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
(AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
Adjust.
Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
results in failures being hidden.
Use m4_defn where appropriate.
(AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
after the second argument.
Use m4_defn.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.

Integrate AC_PROG_CC_STDC into AC_PROG_CC.

_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE.
2002-03-28 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Test with a typedef return value,
to avoid versions of HP C which don't allow that.
2002-03-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.

2002-03-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Portable Shell): Add pointers to FAQs.
2002-03-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): The GNATS base moved.
2002-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* tests/m4sh.at: Don't rely on "PATH=test:$PATH test-1" working
as POSIX requires, as it doesn't work with Zsh.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Assignments): Document the problem.
2002-03-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
SHELL.
2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.
2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): s/unknow/unknown/.
From Aaron Ucko.
2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

invocations.
From Nicolas Joly.
2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

From Nishio Futoshi.
2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_define_default, m4_fst, m4_map): New.
2002-03-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Add AS_MKDIR_P.
(Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
(AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
presumably because of a buffer overrun.
2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
says 'times: not found'.
2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
(&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.
Rerun aclocal if needed.
Suggested by Andreas Schwab.
2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): More about IFS.
2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): New.
Add information about stdint.h and inttypes.h from Paul Eggert.
2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about `cp
-p'.
From Bob Proulx.
2002-03-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): AS_REQUIRE, not
m4_require.
2002-03-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
* configure.ac: Explicitly check for EMACS since AM_PATH_LISPDIR
does not do it if --with-lispdir is given.
2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Version 2.53.
2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
affect the latter.
2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,
* bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
* bin/ifnames.in: Copyright update.
2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

Kevin Ryde.

backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
(Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
* doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
useless.
(_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
evaluation is the current item.
(m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
`foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
$*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
the last...
(m4_lquote): New.
(m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
efficient.
(m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as

* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
`.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
useless.
* tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.

2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

configure.

EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
Remove $filepath, useless.
(&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
variables, they are really part of the tokens.
Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
(&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
* doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoscan.in (scan_c_file): Fix the handling of C comments.
Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
comment made the whole line be ignored.
2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
(testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.

at_top_builddir.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.

$host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
spotted by Jim Meyering.
2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
`_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
(AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
* doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
* NEWS: Likewise.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
hand.
* tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
(AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
(AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
option.
(AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
(_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
(AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
configure.ac.
* tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
`suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
`at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
(at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
(AT_CHECK): Use them.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
in PATH.
Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
suite.
Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
in place.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
(AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
(AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
(AT_INIT): Adjust.
Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
* tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
`testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
are new variables.
Create the directories.
Use absolute paths for at- files.
(AT_CHECK): Adjust.
2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
* m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
(m4_car2): New.
(m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
* doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
__PROTOTYPES too.
2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
From Jim Meyering.
2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
`missing' itself contains variables.
2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
the test suites.
2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
processed only if present.
* tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
instead of successive calls to autoconf.
Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

File::Spec.
Use and export them.

Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
used.
Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
Reported by Ezra Peisach.
2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
(&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
(&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
From Ezra Peisach.
Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
(_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
than character ranges.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
behavior.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
(_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
output and chmod failures.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
the above.
2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
handles it now.
2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
provided, while it is optional.
* configure.ac: Adjust.
2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
with 5.005_02.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
(_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
* NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.

AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
(as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
contains white space.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.

either behavior.

2001-09-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix bugs spotted by
Raja R Harinath:
Be sure to detect when $LINENO always returns the same value.

enough.
Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.
2001-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

arguments. Fixed a typo.
2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.

now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
to getpgrp.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
(AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to

and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.

correctly.
Add test for AS_BASENAME.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
* tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
one line out...
* lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in

the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
* tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
* tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.

* lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
when they don't exist.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
need it.
* lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
we don't need it.

New, extracted from main.
Use IO::File wherever possible.

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

autom4te_perllibdir.
2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

`print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.

the time stamps.
Adjust to the new autoheader messages.

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

Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

download in a tmp dir.
2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
case insensitive OSes out there :(

* NEWS, README, README-alpha, TODO, tests/README: This package is
`Autoconf', not `autoconf' (the executable).
2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

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

2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.

extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
removed.
(at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
Dump information on the first run of each test.
(AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
test group.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
does not like `' instead of [].
(AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
And don't output such tokens.
* tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
`script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
* tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

AC_TRY_LINK.

(AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
files.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
* bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
(@Request::source): Rename as...
(@Request::input): this.
(@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
(&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
`$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
(&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
(m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
`autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
* bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
(Request::id): this.
($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
(&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
(&handle_output): Adjust.
(&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
(top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
(&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
(&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
(&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
compare its timestamp with that of the output.
* bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
* lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
(&mtime): New, export it.
* bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.

mismatch happens.
