Add option to reorder the shared library cache in OpenBSD so that user
preferred directories for shared libraries can be used when linking
before directories previously listed in the shared library cache.
This allows for users in OpenBSD to easily switch between versions of
libraries with the same name during testing.
* NEWS: Update for new (OpenBSD) option.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Add option --reorder-cache=DIRS.
* doc/libtool.texi: Update documentation for new option.
* test/bug_71489.at: Alter test for OpenBSD to utilize new option.
On OpenBSD 7.5, the shared library cache is updated with finish_cmds,
which causes the test for 'Use local version' to fail. Simply, installed
versions of shared libraries take precedence over those locally built.
To ensure local versions of shared libraries can be tested properly and
more easily, additional options have been added to libtool to skip
executing finish_cmds, like 'ldconfig -m $libdir' in OpenBSD.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Add libtool option, '--no-finish.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document new option in libtool.
* NEWS: Update.
* libtoolize.in: Overwrite function in bootstrap for printing version
information for libtoolize.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Overwrite function in bootstrap for printing
version information for libtool.
* doc/libtool.texi: Fix typo and correct references for tests/demo
subdirectory to the tests/demo.at Autotest file.
* gl/top/README-release.diff: Add documentation for maintainers so
the CVS repository is properly updated following a stable release.
* Makefile.am: Fix typo.
* doc/libtool.texi: Add missing test case descriptions and specify
option and command where missing in test case descriptions.
Reported at <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?110674>.
* doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Talk about --enable-aix-soname instead of --with-aix-soname.
* m4/ltoptions.m4 (_LT_WITH_AIX_SONAME): Use AC_ARG_ENABLE instead of
AC_ARG_WITH. In the default case, use _AC_ENABLE_IF, in order to still
recognize the old option --with-aix-soname.
* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Update comment.
* configure.ac: Update comment.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
Reported at <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?110674>.
* doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Talk about --enable-pic instead of
--with-pic, and about --disable-pic instead of --without-pic.
(Test descriptions): Likewise.
* m4/ltoptions.m4 (_LT_WITH_PIC): Use AC_ARG_ENABLE instead of
AC_ARG_WITH. In the default case, use _AC_ENABLE_IF, in order to still
recognize the old options --with-pic and --without-pic.
* tests/demo.at: Add a test for --enable-pic, keeping the test for
--with-pic. Test '--disable-pic' instead of '--with-pic=no'.
* tests/with-pic.at: Test --enable-pic instead of --with-pic.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* doc/libtool.texi (Link mode): Document that -export-symbols does not work on
static libraries. Document the most important platforms where it does not work
on shared libraries.
Building the documentation contains this warning:
libtool.texi:1333: warning: @pxref node name should not contain `.'
Now, users will be linked to the top of the autoconf manual and need
to manually scroll to the section specified.
* doc/libtool.texi: Specify section header instead of duplicating
autoconf manual name.
By default, CATEGORY is set to "all" for all of the warning messages to
be output to standard error. CATEGORY can be set to "none" to disable
warnings.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document "W" or "--warnings=CATEGORY" option.
This is cleanup for libtool. The option test_compile is not used in
libtool, and the documentation states that it would probably be dropped
in the future.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Remove case statement for test_compile.
* doc/libtool.texi: Remove test_compile from documentation.
* m4/libtool.m4: Remove test_compile definition from macro file.
The libtool documentation is still lacking several test case
descriptions for tests/*demo.at Autotest files.
* doc/libtool.texi: Add missing test case descriptions.
A comment in the libtool manual specifies a TODO for fixing the font
size of the ++ symbol in the TOC. This is fixed by wrapping the
symbol in a @code command, and this TODO can be removed.
* doc/libtool.texi: Wrap ++ in a @code command to fix font in TOC.
The demo compile mode commands in Chapter 3 fail to compile since
the source files include a header file that is not in the header search
list. The config.h file is in the local folder. Before this fix, the
compile mode commands would return errors like below:
main.c:1:10: fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory
1 | #include <config.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
The '-I' option has been added to the gcc commands to specify that the
local folder should be searched for header files.
* doc/libtool.texi: Add option to demo compile mode commands
Documentation for dlopen(3) states that it is thread safe, and it is
defined this way by POSIX.
* doc/libtool.texi: Remove old dlopen multi-threaded support warnings.
When using the flag -fsanitize=address with g++, the user should also
specify -lasan to ensure linking occurs correctly. libtool uses
-nostdlib, and gcc implicitly includes -lasan when -fsanitize=address
is used. However, g++ does not implicitly include -lasan. The
documentation has been updated to reflect this information rather than
adding the -lasan flag to libtool.
* doc/notes.texi: Document that the user should pass -lasan.
The libtool documentation is lacking several test case descriptions
for tests/*demo.at Autotest files.
* doc/libtool.texi: Add missing test case descriptions.
The libtool documentation included mention of an old test framework.
The documentation has been reworked to indicate the current test
framework used by libtool, where the tests/*demo directories have been
replaced with tests/*demo.at Autotest files.
* doc/libtool.texi: Clarifies where the example files originate.
* TODO: Remove TODO item related to tests/*demo directories.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: add -Wa,* as link-mode flag.
Add help messages for -Wa,* and -Xassember in link mode.
Add help message for -Xcompiler in compile mode.
* doc/libtool.texi: document -Xassembler and -Wa,* for link-mode.
* gnulib: Update to the latest git version.
* gl-mod/bootstrap: Likewise.
* bootstrap: Regenerate.
* gl/top/README-release.diff: Update the patch for the latest
changes in gnulib's README-release.
Per report from devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, thread id
CLHZMVL3CZ43KX7CD3PF3FDV255EA57O
* doc/libtool.texi (Install mode): With the
'libtool --mode=install' wrapper the 'install' command needs to be
specified.
In some GNU/Linux distributions people started to compile 'ar'
binary with --enable-deterministic-archives (binutils project).
That, however, in combination with our previous long time working
default AR_FLAGS=cru causes warnings on such installations:
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
The 'u' option (at least with GNU binutils) did small optimization
during repeated builds because it instructed 'ar' to not
open/close unchanged *.o files and to rather read their contents
from old archive file. However, its removal should not cause a
big performance hit for usual workflows.
Distributions started using --enable-deterministic-archives
knowing that it would disable the 'u', just to rather have a bit
more deterministic builds.
Also, to justify this change a bit more, keeping 'u' in ARFLAGS
could only result in many per-project changes to override
Libtool's ARFLAGS default, just to silent such warnings.
Fixes bug#19967. Reported by Eric Blake.
* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Default AR_FLAGS to 'cr'.
(_LT_REQUIRED_DARWIN_CHECKS): Use $AR_FLAGS instead 'cru' string.
* doc/libtool.texi: Do 's/ar cru/ar cr/' in whole documentation.
* NEWS: Document.

Some GNU/Linux distributions install libraries into /lib64 (or
/usr/lib64) on 64-bit machines, while /lib (/usr/lib
respectively) stays for multilib variant. Other distributions
keep /usr/lib for 64-bit variant and reserve other directory for
multilib. Detection of what approach a given system uses is
difficult, however, especially because Glibc's ldconfig does not
report the full and correct list of search paths. Allow the user
to adjust Libtools heuristically determined search paths with
the new LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable at both
compile-time, when libtool is called, and at configure time.
* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST): Define a new
function to munge a libtool path list according to a user
supplied colon-delimited path.
(_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Require _LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST.
Mark LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH as precious to autoconf (to survive
automatic "autoreconf").
Call the new func_munge_path_list function on
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec - this propagates results to
generated libtool script.
(_LT_CONFIG): Expand _LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST into generated
libtool script.
* build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Call it to adjust
sys_lib_dlsearch_path according to LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document new LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH.
* doc/notes.texi: Likewise.
* NEWS: Update.

Support filename-based shared library versioning on AIX with the
lib.so library filename extension, which is used with runtime
linking only. Runtime linking is enabled by the -brtl linker
flag for executables and the -G linker flag for Shared Objects.
The behaviour is similar to Linux/SVR4 DT_SONAME, hence the name
"aix-soname=svr4".
* Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass with_aix_soname value
via lt_cv_with_aix_soname into testsuite.
* configure.ac: AC_SUBST with_aix_soname for testsuite.
* libltdl/loaders/dlopen.c (vm_open): Use RTLD_MEMBER flag for
dlopen when the filename does specify an archive member between
"()". Otherways, retry with appending LT_SHARED_LIB_MEMBER when
loading fails without but archive file seems to exist.
* m4/libtool.m4 (dynamic_linker): Describe configured shared
library versioning variant according to with_aix_soname and
runtime linking.
(soname_spec, library_names_spec, shlibpath_overrides_runpath)
(postinstall_cmds, postuninstall_cmds, hardcode_direct)
(hardcode_direct_absolute, no_undefined_flag)
(allow_undefined_flag): Set according to with_aix_soname and
runtime linking configuration.
(export_symbols_cmds): Decorate symbols with the weak keyword.
(archive_expsym_cmds): Create both shared libraries according to
with_aix_soname and runtime linking configuration. Filter -brtl
linker flag from compiler_flags for shared libraries due to its
side effects.
(enable_static): Respect with_aix_soname for disabling as well.
* m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_SHARED_LIB_MEMBER): Define, set based on the
value of the shared_archive_member_spec libtool variable.
* m4/ltoptions.m4 (_LT_WITH_AIX_SONAME): New. Provides
commandline option --with-aix-soname=aix|svr4|both. Declares
$shared_archive_member_spec as libtool variable.
(_LT_SET_OPTIONS): Define LT_INIT options "aix-soname=aix",
"aix-soname=svr4", "aix-soname=both". Default is
"aix-soname=aix".
* doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Document new options.
* tests/deplibs-ident.at: To define whether this test should
XFAIL, use hardcode_action, hardcode_direct,
hardcode_direct_absolute configuration settings instead of
platforms aix, bitrig, hppa-hpux, interix or openbsd.
* tests/versioning.at: When shared_archive_member_spec is defined
and LDFLAGS contain -brtl, we can run the versioning check.
* NEWS: Update.

On OS/2, if there are many DLLs whose prefix is the same and
very long, the resulting DLLs are overwritten. Provide a new
option to force a DLL name.
* build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_help): Add a description for
-os2dllname.
(func_mode_link): Add -os2dllname.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document it.
* NEWS: Update.
