This file lists the bugs you must be aware of. Be sure to check this
|
|
file before using Autoconf, and especially CVS versions of Autoconf.
|
|
|
|
Autoconf must not be used in production if there are ``Serious'' bugs,
|
|
and use with caution an Autoconf with ``Important bugs''.
|
|
|
|
Many other bugs are registered on the GNATS server:

|
|
Please, don't register bugs listed below: we already know we have to
|
|
address them.

* Serious Problems
|
|
|
|
** Broken compilers
|
|
|
|
configure does not properly diagnose broken compilers (because it
|
|
finds the failure before the code that checks whether the compiler
|
|
works). It is not to serious a bug, but most notably the test suite
|
|
will fail to handle gracefully missing compilers (typically the
|
|
Fortran compiler).
|
|
|
|
** Special characters and config.hin
|
|
|
|
The handling of special characters, most notable backslashes, of
|
|
course, might be nonportable in addition of being of clearly
|
|
specified.
|
|
|
|
** AC_TRY_EVAL of multi line commands
|
|
|
|
Is broken. The problem is mostly that, again, the policy wrt special
|
|
characters is not clearly defined. Because of this,
|
|
_AC_INIT_PREPARE_FS_SEPARATORS will output undesired messages, but is
|
|
not guilty.
|
|
|
|
./configure: /home/lrde/prof/akim/src/ace/tests; conftest.sh: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
|
|
|
|
AC_TRY_COMMAND is.
|
|
|
|
** AC_CHECK_PROG
|
|
|
|
and all the macros that use it, are paying the change for test -f to
|
|
test -x to determine whether a candidate path is an executable: now we
|
|
have false positives with directories which, indeed, are test -x.
