libtool/ChangeLog

2010-07-07  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

	[cygwin|mingw] fix dlpreopen with --disable-static
	* libltdl/config/general.m4sh (func_tr_sh): New function.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms) [cygwin|mingw]:
	Obtain DLL name corresponding to import library by using value
	stored in unique variable libfile_$(transliterated implib name).
	If that fails, use $sharedlib_from_linklib_cmd to extract DLL
	name from import library directly. Also, properly extract dlsyms
	from the import library.
	(func_mode_link) [cygwin|mingw]: Prefer to dlpreopen DLLs
	over static libs when both are available.  When dlpreopening
	DLLs, use linklib (that is, import lib) as dlpreopen file,
	rather than DLL. Store name of associated la file in
	unique variable libfile_$(transliterated implib name)
	for later use.
	(func_win32_libid): Accomodate pei-i386 import libs
	as well as pe-i386.
	(func_cygming_dll_for_implib): New function.
	(func_cygming_dll_for_implib_fallback): New function.
	(func_cygming_dll_for_implib_fallback_core): New function.
	(func_cygming_gnu_implib_p): New function.
	(func_cygming_ms_implib_p): New function.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Adjust sed
	expressions for lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_c_name_address and
	lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix
	as trailing space after module name is optional.
	(_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [cygwin|mingw][C++]:
	Set exclude_expsyms correctly for $host. Simplify regular
	expression in export_symbols_cmds.
	(_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [cygwin|mingw|pw32][C]: Set exclude_expsyms
	correctly for $host. Enable export_symbols_cmds to identify
	DATA exports by _nm_ prefix.
	(_LT_CHECK_SHAREDLIB_FROM_LINKLIB): New macro sets
	sharedlib_from_linklib_cmd variable.
	(_LT_DECL_DLLTOOL): New macro ensures DLLTOOL is always set.

2010-07-05  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

	* tests/export.at [MSVC]: dllimport all imported variables.

2010-07-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
	    Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

	Support for response files with $NM.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS)
	<nm_file_list_spec>: New tag variable. Set it to '@' if input
	files can be passed to $NM in a file named with the '@' option.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): When
	nm_file_list_spec is nonempty, use it to avoid skipped_export.
	* doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Document
	new variable.

2010-07-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	Fix ccache test for MSVC.
	* tests/static.at (ccache -all-static): Ignore compiler stderr.
	Reported by Peter Rosin.

2010-07-03  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

	Avoid false failures caused by filesystem interaction
	* tests/dlloader-api.at (dlloader API): Use uglified names for
	pseudo-modules.

2010-07-03  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

	Fix typo in "Add func_append_quoted and do..."
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_compile): Use
	func_append_quoted instead of func_append.

2010-07-02  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

	Don't trigger file name expansion when embedding manifests.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
	[ cygwin, mingw, cegcc ] <cl*>: Remove all spaces in the
	case statement of postlink_cmds to make file name expansion
	more unlikely.

2010-07-01  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

	Fix regression caused by "Add func_append_quoted and do..."
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Remove leftover
	"_libs" trash.

2010-06-28  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

	For MSVC, embed the manifest as a resource in the executable.
	Fixes a lot of testsuite failures with MSVC 2003 (v8.0) and
	above (and perhaps also MSVC .Net) related to running programs
	that have been moved (e.g. installed) without their manifests
	also having been moved.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PATH_MANIFEST_TOOL): New macro
	that locates the Manifest Tool (mt) and verifies that it is
	indeed the manifest tool. The result is stored in the new
	variable MANIFEST_TOOL.
	(_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) <postlink_cmds>: New tag variable.
	[ cygwin, mingw, cegcc ] <cl*>: Embed the manifest file as a
	resource. Make sure the embedding work regardless of if the
	@OUTPUT@ file name includes a trailing $EXEEXT.
	(_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Likewise.
	(_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Require the above
	_LT_PATH_MANIFEST_TOOL.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): After linking
	a program, replace @OUTPUT@ in $postlink_cmds and then execute
	the commands.
	* doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Document
	new postlink_cmds variable.
	(LT_INIT): Add that the MANIFEST_TOOL environment variable can
	be used to override the manifest tool to use.
	* tests/exeext.at: New. Make sure linking with both -o prog
	and -o prog$EXEEXT works.
	* Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Update.
	(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Propagate $(MANIFEST_TOOL) to the
	testsuite.
	* NEWS: Add note of the new MANIFEST_TOOL environment variable.

2010-06-24  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

	Add MSVC support.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER)
	(_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [mingw, cygwin]: Add
	support for the Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (cl) relying on help
	from the compile script in Automake.
	* NEWS: Add note of the above.

2010-07-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Skip `enhanced shell option appending' test when not available.
	* tests/getopt-m4sh.at [enhanced shell option appending]:
	_LT_AT_XSI_FUNC_EXTRACT will not be able to find the enhanced
	libtool func_append function if the replacement wasn't substituted
	by configure, since the decorator comments will be different - in
	that case simply skip the test.

2010-06-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Add func_append test cases for smart and retarded implementations.
	* tests/getopt-m4sh.at (_LT_AT_FALLBACK_FUNC_EXTRACT): New
	macro to extract a fallback function implementation from
	ltmain.m4sh.
	[option appending]: Use it for a test of the fallback
	implementation of func_append.
	[enhanced shell option appending]: And also test the enhanced
	implementation.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_append_quoted): Fix missing \\
	to escape a quoted space for eval.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Fix missing $ in
	dereference of func_append inline replacement for retarded
	shells.

2010-06-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Correct func_split_short_opt comment cut-n-pasto.
	* libtool/config/getopt.m4sh (func_split_short_opt): Fix
	the function comment.

	Use a real XSI compliant func_split_short_opt substitution.
	* libtool/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_SHELL_FEATURES): Remove
	test ${foo:n:m} substrings, instead adding a ${foo%??} check
	to the existing XSI tests.
	(_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Remove the ${foo:n:m} based
	func_split_short_opt substitution in favour of a properly
	XSI compliant substitution.
	Suggested by Paolo Bonzini.

2010-06-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Add func_append_quoted and do inline func_append substitutions.
	* libtool/config/ltmain.m4sh: Replace all occurrences of
	`foo="$foo bar"' with func_append. No decorator comment was
	added since /func_append [a-zA-Z0-9_]* "/ is already an
	excellent match regexp, and additional comments would only
	complicate things.
	(func_append_quoted): New function that quotes a value with
	func_quote_for_eval before appending it.  To avoid quoting the
	whitespace in the passed value, a single whitespace is added
	automatically.  Changed callers where possible.
	* libtool/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Perform a
	`+=' implementation substitution for func_append_quoted.  More
	importantly, systematically replace matching func_append calls
	with inline `+=' when supported (for maximum speed), and
	longhand `foo="$foo bar"' otherwise to avoid the function
	overhead.

	Add an XSI replacement for func_split_short_opt, with test cases.
	* libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (m4go_shortnoargs): Remove 'v' now
	that getopt.m4sh doesn't steal that letter for the --version
	short option.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (M4SH_GETOPTS): We can now use 'v'
	as a short option for '--verbose'.
	* libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (m4go_printopts): Add back in the
	leading '-' for remaining non-argument short options.
	(func_split_short_opt): Use the correct sed script variable.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_SHELL_FEATURES): Also ensure
	that XSI substring extraction is supported.
	(_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Use XSI substring extraction to split
	short options to avoid unnecessary forks if the host shell
	supports that.
	* tests/getopt-m4sh.at: New tests for getopt.m4sh coverage.
	* Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add getopt-m4sh.at.
	(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass M4SH and SED for substition into the
	m4sh expansion performed in tests/getopt-m4sh.at.

2010-06-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Add missing case branch terminators.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Fixed everal case branches with
	missing ';;' terminators.

	Use TAB-SPACE in preference to SPACE-TAB.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_REPLACE): Some editors
	might optimise away the SPACE in SPACE-TAB sequences, so use
	TAB-SPACE just in case.
	Reported by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	Amend a missed opt_mode rename instance in ltmain.m4sh.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh <mode>: Rename to opt_mode.

	Fix portability regressions in today's earlier changeset.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_REPLACE): `sed -i' is not
	portable; use `mv -f ...|| cp -f ...' instead.
	Add an initial backslash to sed `c' substitutions with leading
	whitespace, so that indentation is not removed by some non-POSIX
	compliant sed implementations.
	(_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Display a diagnostic warning message if
	one or more XSI function replacements failed.

	getopt.m4sh generated libtool option parser, and XSI improvements.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Moved portable
	shell versions of various utility functions from here...
	* libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (func_split_long_opt): ...to here...
	* libltdl/config/general.m4sh (func_dirname, func_basename)
	(func_dirname_and_basename, func_strip_name): ...here...
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_append, func_arith, func_len)
	(func_lo2o, func_xform): ...and here.
	* libltdl/config/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_REPLACE): New macro that
	expands into a sed command for replacing the contents of a
	suitably decorated shell function with an alternate XSI
	implementation.
	(_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Use it to replace the portable shell
	versions of the functions above with equivalent XSI
	implementations that avoid unnecessary forks if the host shell
	supports that.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Replace hand written shell code
	with a call to M4SH_GETOPTS. Rename some option variables in
	the client code to match the generated option parser settings.
	* libltdl/config/general.m4sh (func_echo, func_error)
	(func_warning): Use $opt_mode instead of obsoleted $mode in
	message leader.
	* libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (m4_version_prereq): This file
	requires m4sugar.m4 from Autoconf-2.61 or newer. 

2010-06-24  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

	[cygwin] Refactor C++ exception handling for Win32 correctness
	* tests/exception.at (common.h): New file, refactored from

2010-06-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Ensure getopts.m4sh is compatible with Autoconf-2.61 and newer.
	* libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (m4_chomp): Ensure this macro is
	implemented even if Autoconf's m4sugar.m4 doesn't provide it.
	(m4go_expand): New macro based on Autoconf-2.64 m4_expand. Use
	it everywhere incase m4sugar.m4 doesn't have an implementation.
	(m4_ifnblank): Replace all uses with m4_ifval, which was
	available long before m4_ifnblank was introduced.

2010-06-20  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	Fix clean mode for HP-UX 11.31 sh.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_uninstall): Do not try
	to match a null string in a case pattern, even with surrounding

	* tests/exceptions.at (C++ exception handling): Add comment
	for last patch.

	Fix flags test failure when ld is used as linker.
	* tests/flags.at (passing CC flags through libtool): When $LD
	is used for linking libraries, ensure flags passed with `-Wc,'
	are not passed through to $LD, but flags passed with `-Wl,' use
	$wl when linking programs.  Fixed testsuite failure on HP-UX
	10.20.

2010-06-19  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

	[cygwin] Fix segfault in C++ exception handling test
	* tests/exceptions.at (main.cpp:exceptions_in_module):
	Move dlclose outside catch block; otherwise __cxa_end_catch
	(part of the cygwin g++ ABI) accesses pointers to data inside
	unloaded DLL. This is a platform ABI-specific bug, but is
	likely common to many platforms' g++ and/or other C++
	compilers.

	Use config.cache variable for PIC flag, to allow override.
	* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_COMPILER_PIC) <lt_prog_compiler_pic>:
	Save result, and allow override, through cache variable
	lt_cv_prog_compiler_pic{,_CXX,_F77,_FC}.  The cache variable
	needs to contain an eventual -DPIC.
	* tests/pic_flag.at (override pic_flag at configure time):
	New file, new test.
	* Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Update.
	* NEWS, THANKS: Update.
	Suggestion by Joakim Tjernlund and Paolo Bonzini.

	Optimize func_ltwrapper_scriptname to assume a cwrapper.
	* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_ltwrapper_scriptname): Do not
	call func_ltwrapper_executable_p again here, this function is
	documented to allow being called with wrapper executables.

	Fix bootstrap script to cope with changed AC_INIT arguments.
	* bootstrap: When extracting PACKAGE and VERSION from AC_INIT
	arguments, be sure to remove a 'GNU ' prefix and lowercase the
	package name for PACKAGE.  Also set PACKAGE_NAME and PACKAGE_URL
	appropriately for GNU software.  Pass these variables to the
	make commands creating tests/package.m4 and other files.
	* Makefile.am (edit): Fix substitution of PACKAGE_NAME and
	PACKAGE_STRING.

	* libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh: Set $opt_debug to be either `:'
	or `set -x' depending on whether --debug was parsed to match
	usage in libtoolize.m4sh and ltmain.m4sh.
	* clcommit.m4sh, libltdl/config/announce-gen.sh: Instead of
	`$opt_debug && ...', use `test "$opt_debug" != ":" && ...'.

	libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh, libltdl/connfig/mailnotify.m4sh:
	Execute at the start of functions to cater to ksh, which
	resets `-x' inside shell functions.
