Use the pattern from other projects where we generate the html pages
in a dir named the same as the project. So now we have:
gas/doc/gas.html - single html page
gas/doc/gas/ - multiple html pages
This works for projects that have a doc/ subdir already, but gprof &
ld require a little tweaking since they generate their docs in their
respective toplevels.
This better matches other GNU projects like autoconf/automake where
the html manual is the single page form. We'll support the multi-page
form in a follow up change.
GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.

This unfortunately means conditionalizing out all the libctf code, but
the result is not too unbearably ugly, if a bit repetitive. I have
stubbed out code in the !ENABLE_LIBCTF path to avoid extra redundant
ifdefs where it seems that might be helpful. (The stubs are not too
disruptive, but I've tried to keep them on one line where possible to
avoid filling up the screen with stubs that nobody would care about.
If this is too much of a coding style violation I can change it.)

In commit 2b44a6a237 (" binutils: doc: make `make clean` clean more
things"), I moved the doc build artifacts to MOSTLYCLEANFILES, which
made them get removed by "make clean".
Because generating binutils.info requires makeinfo, and we do not want
to require makeinfo when building from the tarball, binutils.info should
not get removed by "make clean" (otherwise, it won't be included in the
tarball).
And to be consistent with other projects (e.g. ld and gas), we also want
to ship the built man pages in the tarball.
This patch puts back all these in MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, so that they are
bundled in the tarball, and only cleaned if you use "make
maintainer-clean".
Tested by building a source release and confirming they are present.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF
debugging resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP. This patch
enables objdump and readelf to query debuginfod servers when they are
otherwise not able to find separate debug files. Binutils can be built
with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure option. This
requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178. For
more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.

There is a bunch of things left over after a `make clean` in the doc
directory. This patch changes the Makefile so that everything built by
make is cleaned:
- man pages (the man_MANS variable)
- cxxfilt.man
- binutils.info
I am not sure why the last one was in MAINTAINERCLEANFILES. It's
generated from binutils.texi using makeinfo, and it's not particularly
long to build, so I don't see why it shouldn't be cleaned like the other
files.
Note: with my automake 1,15.1 (built from source), I get a spurious diff
in Makefile.in, where the
runstatedir = @runstatedir@
line gets removed. I am not sure why, but I haven't included it.

The `install-data-local: install-info` part: the comment refers to when
the Makefile had the cygnus option. It no longer uses that, so the info
file should get installed without that rule. I verified that `make
install` still installed $(prefix)/share/info/binutils.info.
The `DISTCLEANFILES` part: the comment talks about Automake 1.9, we are
using 1.15.1, which doesn't appear to have this problem. binutils.info
is built fine without this snippet.

I get some spurious changes when running autoconf/automake for various

distro-patched tools last time.
I ran `autoreconf -f` in the various automake projects of the
binutils-gdb tree, and this is the result. The tools I am using have
been compiled from source, from the upstream release.

This introduces CTF support for objdump and readelf. objdump has the
following new arguments:
--ctf=SECTION: display CTF in the given SECTION
--ctf-parent=SECTION: name of CTF section that is the parent of this section
readelf has the above, and these two as well:
--ctf-symbols=SECTION: name of symbol table section (optional)
--ctf-strings=SECTION: name of string table section (optional)
(objdump can always use BFD machinery to determine the applicable string
and symbol tables automatically, so these arguments are unnecessary.)
Nearly all the work is done by the ctf_dump machinery in libctf: most of
the remaining work is option-processing and section-reading, and thus is
different for objdump and readelf: the minimal amount of similar code
remaining is, in my view, too small to share, particularly given that
objdump uses ctf_bfdopen() and readelf uses ctf_simple_open() since it
doesn't have a bfd.
I am not particularly satisfied with the way resources are freed in
either of these (I was forced to do it at the top level, for lack of
anywhere else to free resources allocated during option processing), but
I can't see any better way to do it without introducing new
infrastructure for no other purpose.
There are essentially arbitrary ordering changes to the Makefile.in's
order of libtool-related stuff that I can't get rid of, but they have no
semantic effect. (It is possible that some hunks of these changes could
be dropped, but that seems a bit risky to me.)

When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this:
Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1.
Aborting.
Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a
warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1.
So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and
automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple
builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required
version of those tools for all binutils-gdb.
For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy
choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have
different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily
available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source.
I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ,
because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a
lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's
useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to
use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that
was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a
specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in
config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one
less thing to update next time we change autotools version.
I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are
described below along with the chosen solutions.
Problem 1:
configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see:
configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation
Solution 1:
Adjust the code based on the example at that URL.
Problem 2 (in zlib/):
Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL'
Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING'
Solution 2:
Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
Problem 3:
doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed
Solution 3:
Remove the cygnus options.
Problem 4:
Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Solution 4:
Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is
already defined earlier).
Problem 5:
doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 5:
Rename .texinfo files to .texi.
Problem 6:
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 6:
Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use
the info-in-builddir automake option.
Problem 7:
doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found
doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex'
Solution 7:
Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in
texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it
(or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to
top-level.
Problem 8:
Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.
automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your
automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities.
Solution 8:
Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now
be in config/.
Problem 9:

This removes usage of the obsolete AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in all
binutils configure.in files. The BFD version is now in bfd/version.m4
rather than bfd/configure.in, which allows automake to automatically
track this dependency.
