3 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Stub out a macro
4 that future autopoint/aclocal/automake/autoreconf will be able
5 to trace to find where to install local m4 macros.
6 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Document it.
9 2003-10-06 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>

12 -lcrtbegin.o to list of ignored flags and fix underquoting of
15 2003-10-04 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@ab-initio.mit.edu>
17 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
18 cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
19 since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.
21 2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
23 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f
24 free" flag. Re-order flags tested into rough order of popularity.
26 2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
28 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): Reverse the order of the
29 arguments so that it can be used with syntax identical to
30 AC_PROG_F77, and so that we can more easily decide to
31 remove/deprecate the DIALECT optional argument in the future if it
33 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Exit 77 upon failure to fix test suite for
34 non-freeform-supporting compilers. Document freeform flags.

43 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoreconf-preselections): Trace AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
44 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Create the
45 AUX_DIR if needed, for sake of automake --add-missing etc.
46 Suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
48 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
50 * configure.ac: Quotation and formatting changes.

88 2003-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
92 * config/mkinstalldirs: Upgrade.
94 2003-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
96 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set DUALCASE=1, for MKS sh.
97 Problem reported by Lars J. Aas in
98 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-07/msg00042.html>.
99 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): Change "rm -fr ./-p" to the more-conservative
100 "test -d ./-p && rmdir ./-p". Suggested by Andreas Schwab in:

103 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
105 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
106 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
107 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
108 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
109 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
111 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

114 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
116 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
118 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Don't overquote the
120 Actually, use AU_ALIAS.
123 2003-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
125 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): If mkdir -p . fails,
126 rm -fr ./-p to remove junk left behind on NextStep and OpenStep.

132 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
133 Reported by Henk Krus.
134 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
136 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
138 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
139 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
140 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
142 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...

152 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Handle '@configure_input@'.
153 (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf, autoscan, autoupdate)
155 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
156 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
157 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
158 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
159 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
160 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
161 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
162 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a
164 * config/install-sh: Upgrade from CVS Automake.

257 2003-09-02 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
259 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
260 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
261 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
262 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
263 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
264 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
265 AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.

387 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
388 * bin/autoscan.in: Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs.
389 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it.
391 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
393 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
394 including when the cache is used.
396 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
397 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
398 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
399 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
400 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
402 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
404 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
405 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
406 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
407 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
408 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
409 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
410 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
411 failure, hence we can use the cache.
412 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
413 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
415 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
416 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
417 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
418 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
419 the latter reveals calls to the former.
423 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
425 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
427 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):

434 * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos.
435 (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests.
436 (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect.
437 (cross): New warning category.

446 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
447 * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust.
449 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
451 * bin/autoheader.in: Remove duplicate 'use Autom4te::FileUtils'.
452 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
454 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
456 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
457 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
458 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
459 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
460 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
461 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
462 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.

544 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): Work around a bug
545 in Bash 2.01. Problem reported by Brian Gough in
546 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-07/msg00106.html>.
548 2003-07-25 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
550 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Also ignore
551 -lcrt1.o, for OS X. (trivial change)
553 2003-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
555 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Wrap the '#define inline ...'
556 inside '#ifndef __cplusplus'. Problem reported by
559 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
561 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
562 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
563 (trivial change). See:
564 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html

570 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Make it read only.
571 Depend on Makefile since it contains substitutions.
573 * lib/autom4te.in (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
574 This change was made on autom4te.cfg which is generated.
575 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
577 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
579 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): sys/mount.h.
580 From Gareth McCaughan.
582 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
584 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
585 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
586 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
587 top_srcdir to find config.log.
588 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
589 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
591 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
593 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being
594 always run: output config.log on $at_group_log.
596 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
598 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Don't use quotes in
599 C++ comments as it puzzles Emacs' sh font-lock-mode.
601 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
603 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Fix output copyright notice.

605 * tests/atspecific.m4: Rename as...
606 * tests/local.at: This.

612 2003-06-21 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
614 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extend test program to get an
615 error from OSF 4.0 Compaq cc in its default almost-ANSI mode, thereby
616 ensuring we add -std1 for full-ANSI.
618 * doc/autoconf.texi (hdrindex): New macro.
619 Add index entries for portability of various standard header files.
621 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

650 (AT_SETUP): Divert output to TEST_SCRIPT and move some code...
651 (AT_CLEANUP): ...to here. Undivert TEST_SCRIPT.
652 (AT_INIT): Support for expected failures.

659 Autoconf nor Automake.

665 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions),
666 lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): Check that mktime
667 is the inverse of localtime.
669 2003-05-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
671 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Print diagnostics to STDERR.
672 (handle_exec_errors): New function. Work around $! being
673 altered by WEXITSTATUS.
674 (xqx, xsystem): Use handle_exec_errors.
676 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
678 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.
679 Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
680 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
681 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
682 63 for version mismatches.
684 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
686 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
687 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
688 the middle of a line).
689 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
690 Remove useless spaces in comments.
692 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
694 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an
695 exit 63, so that we (or Automake's "missing") can tell the
696 difference with a plain failure.
697 * doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): Adjust.
699 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
701 * Makefile.am, bin/Makefile.am, config/Makefile.am,
702 * doc/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
703 White spaces cleanup.
705 2003-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
706 and Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
708 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
709 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
710 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
711 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
712 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
713 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
714 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
716 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
717 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
718 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
720 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
722 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
725 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
727 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
728 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
729 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
731 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
732 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
733 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
734 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
735 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
736 at_suite_log when a test fails.
737 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
738 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
739 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
740 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
742 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
743 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
744 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
747 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
748 the name of the debugging directory and information about

868 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
870 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
871 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
872 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
873 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
875 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.

892 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
893 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
894 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
895 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When
896 grepping $at_help_all for keywords, use the field and keyword
897 seperators to ensure a complete keyword match. Alter at_prev handling
898 to support the new --keywords behavior.

1092 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): test -n -> test -z,
1093 to fix a mismatch between example and discussion.

1108 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
1109 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
1110 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.

1114 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Properly

1123 2002-12-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1125 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
1126 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
1127 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
1128 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
1129 gettimeofday and many other functions.
1131 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1135 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
1137 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
1139 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
1140 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
1141 not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by

1183 Update from masters.
1185 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1187 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
1188 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
1189 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
1190 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
1191 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
1192 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for

1208 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Initialize f=$1 rather
1209 than assigning in main, to avoid HP cc +O3 optimizing it away.

1213 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q
1214 option. Process --recheck after parsing all options. Pass -q

1217 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Strip -q from
1218 arguments to record.
1219 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Document
1220 config.status -q option.

1247 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
1249 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1251 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
1253 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
1254 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
1255 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
1256 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
1257 otherwise available.])
1258 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
1259 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
1260 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
1261 was not compatible with Libtool.
1263 2002-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1265 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set the following variables,

1599 * bin/autoheader.in: Invoke autoconf to get '' strings, not ""
1602 2002-10-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1604 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_QUOTE): The warning about quoted
1605 characters is a syntax warning now.
1606 (_AS_QUOTE): Accept $2 as list of characters to quote.
1607 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
1608 Quote for Perl, not sh.
1609 * bin/autoheader.in: When $debug, report the file which is
1611 * tests/tools.at (autom4te, autoheader): Exercise @bar, not merely
1612 `@', to tickle Perl's lists.
1613 Reported by Carlos Velasco.
1615 2002-10-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1617 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_m4): Pass --fatal-warning to m4, so that
1618 missing included files _are_ errors.
1619 Thanks to Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1620 * tests/tools.at (autom4te cache): Adjust.
1621 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE): New.
1622 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR): Use it.
1623 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
1625 * tests/tools.at (autom4te): Now it does exit 1.
1627 2002-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1629 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_SAVE): Don't use cmp.
1630 Fixes the `AC_ARG_VAR' test failures.
1631 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Don't use cmp.
1632 * lib/freeze.mk (check-forbidden-patterns): New.
1633 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, lib/autotest/Makefile.am
1634 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (check-local): Use it to catch `cmp'.
1635 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): HP-UX' cmp and
1637 Reported months ago by H. Merijn Brand.

1648 2002-10-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1650 Because of caching, some files that no longer exist and are no
1651 longer required can still cause errors.
1652 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1654 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'
1655 to frozen files in @ARGV, as @ARGV must remain being a list of
1656 files. Rather, at M4 call sites, use this...
1657 (&files_to_options): New function.
1658 (&freeze): Use &error.
1659 (&up_to_date): If a file that was included according to the cache
1660 is no longer there, then the output is out dated.
1661 (&main): Don't even check whether a file is up to date is anyway
1663 * tests/tools.at (autom4te cache): New.
1665 2002-10-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1667 * bin/autoconf.as: Kill dead options.
1668 * bin/autoupdate.in (&parse_args): Kill old options.
1669 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Remove dead options.
1671 (&autoreconf): Report the directories we enter *and leave*, so
1672 that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
1673 format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
1674 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
1675 if some file was changed instead of `print'.
1676 * bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.
1677 (&parse_args): Remove the dead options.
1678 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Adjust to the new
1679 autoheader's quiet mode.
1680 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Likewise.
1681 * tests/tools.at (autoupdate): Adjust.
1682 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
1684 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1686 No longer use CPP to check for the existing of headers: use CC to
1687 check for compilability.
1689 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL)
1690 (AC_CHECK_HEADER, _AC_CHECK_HEADER_OLD): Remove.

1695 numbers in the Subject suggestion.
1697 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1699 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST): Obsolete.
1700 Suggest using AC_CHECK_DECLS instead.
1702 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1704 * tests/torture.at (AC_ARG_VAR): Have configure report the value
1707 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1709 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Use $$ in the
1710 file name to enable parallel executions.
1711 From Sam Varshavchik.
1713 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1715 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
1716 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to
1718 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
1719 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
1720 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
1722 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1724 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
1725 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,
1726 but it's how Perl getopt works.
1727 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
1729 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):
1730 --warning -> --warnings.
1731 * lib/autom4te.in: --warning -> --warnings.
1733 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1740 (Automake-preselections): Update.
1741 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: Comment changes.
1743 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1747 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
1748 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4, lib/autoconf/types.m4: here.
1750 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1752 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
1753 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
1754 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
1755 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
1757 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1759 * tests/m4sh.at (Functions Support, Functions and return Support):
1762 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1776 (RANLIB, YACC, awk, bison, byacc, flex, gawk, install, lex, ln)
1777 (make, mawk, nawk, ranlib, yacc): Similarly, move to...

1788 that were listed in the original autoscan.list.
1789 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Similarly with headers.
1790 * lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.
1791 (.m4.m4f): Don't pass --prepend-include, since that's done by
1792 tests/autom4te itself.
1793 * lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
1794 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
1795 (autoscan.pre): New file.
1797 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1799 * bin/autoscan.in (@kinds): Make them singular.
1801 (&init_tables): When --debug, report the list of rules to ease
1802 tracking changes in autoscan.list.
1803 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list (function): Strip comments, sort.
1805 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1807 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
1808 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
1809 * lib/autoscan/programs: Merge into...
1810 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list: this.
1811 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
1813 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1815 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
1816 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
1817 * lib/autoscan/programs: Make the `kind' explicit, i.e., each
1818 `functions' line is now prefixed with `function:'.
1819 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
1821 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1823 From now on, autoscan files must always map a macro name to a
1824 word: there is no `default' macro for autoscan.
1826 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
1828 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
1831 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1834 (&used): Keep only track of the words we might be interested in.

1849 Thanks to Bill Moseley and Paul Eggert.
1850 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): $2 is the directory into which
1851 the tmpdir must be created.
1852 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Have the tmp
1853 dir be in the build tree, instead of $TMPDIR.

1858 (&parse_args): Drop obsolete undocumented options.

1863 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1865 * bin/autoreconf.in: Clarify that -s is meaningless without -i.
1866 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

1869 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1871 Single suffix rules and seperated dependencies are not portable.

1874 (Limitations of Make): Some about `Single Suffix Rules and
1875 Separated Dependencies'.
1876 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
1877 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Un-factor into several rules.
1879 2002-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1881 * BUGS (Interoperability bugs): New section. Mention libtool
1882 1.4.2, configure.ac, and AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interoperability bug.
1884 2002-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1886 Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
1887 make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
1889 * bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
1890 (autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
1891 Move the body of the old .in rule here.
1893 2002-09-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1895 i960 compilers create `b.out' files by default.
1896 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
1898 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Remove b.out files.
1899 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Adjust to b.out.
1901 2002-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

1904 reference to `struct timezone' in the description of

1911 * config/config.sub, config/config.guess: Update.
1912 * Makefile.maint: Update from bits of the Coreutils 4.5.1.
1913 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
1915 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1917 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Suggest
1918 reading config.log when the compiler is rejected.
1919 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
1921 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1923 * bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
1924 (chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
1925 Reported by Vance Shipley.
1927 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1929 * bin/autoscan.in (&parse_args): Pass a reference to the lists, not
1932 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1934 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
1935 prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
1936 difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.
1938 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
1940 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
1942 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1944 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
1946 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
1947 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
1950 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1952 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
1954 (Defining Directories): New.
1956 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1958 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
1959 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
1961 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
1963 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
1964 plain `@' is wanted.
1966 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1968 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
1969 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
1970 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
1971 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
1972 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
1973 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
1976 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1978 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
1979 looking for a replacement file.
1980 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
1981 directory is relative.
1982 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
1983 directory definition.
1984 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
1986 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1988 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
1989 precious variables are.
1990 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
1992 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1994 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
1995 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
1996 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
1997 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
1998 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1999 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
2001 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2003 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
2004 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
2006 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2008 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
2010 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
2011 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
2013 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2015 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
2016 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
2019 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2021 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
2022 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
2023 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
2025 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2029 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2031 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
2033 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
2035 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
2037 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
2038 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
2039 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
2041 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2043 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
2044 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
2046 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2048 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
2049 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
2050 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
2051 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
2053 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2055 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
2056 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
2057 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
2059 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
2061 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
2062 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
2063 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
2064 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
2065 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
2067 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
2068 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
2069 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
2071 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
2073 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
2074 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
2076 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
2077 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
2078 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
2079 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
2080 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
2081 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
2082 to shorten the output script.
2084 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2086 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
2087 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
2088 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
2089 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
2090 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
2091 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
2092 example, since the old example is now out of date.
2094 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
2095 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
2096 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
2099 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
2100 of rolling our own unset.
2101 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
2102 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.

2145 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,

2457 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
2459 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2461 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
2462 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
2463 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
2464 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
2466 * NEWS: Document this.
2467 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
2469 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
2470 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,

2480 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
2481 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
2482 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
2483 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
2485 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
2486 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
2487 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
2488 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
2489 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
2490 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
2492 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
2493 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
2494 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
2496 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
2497 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
2498 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by

2503 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
2504 autopoint instead of gettextize.
2505 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
2506 ($uses_aclocal): this.
2507 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
2508 Suggested by Bruno Haible.

2516 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
2517 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
2518 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
2519 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
2521 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
2523 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage

2532 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2534 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
2535 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
2536 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
2538 Be sure to protect it.
2539 Reported by Patrick Welche.
2541 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2543 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
2544 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
2546 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2548 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
2549 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
2550 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
2551 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2553 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2555 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.

2565 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
2566 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the

2577 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2629 Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
2631 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
2632 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
2633 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in

2659 that is not portable to Zsh.
2661 2002-04-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2663 * bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_macros): Honor AU_DEFUNs
2664 from aclocal.m4 too.
2666 2002-04-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2668 * tests/wrappl.as: New, M4sh precursor of wrappl.in.

2686 Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
2688 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
2689 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
2690 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
2691 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):

2697 * tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
2698 * tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
2699 on Autotest and M4sh.

2724 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
2726 2002-04-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2728 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Only simplify if path
2729 contains no literal separators.

2733 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER)

2735 Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
2737 (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
2738 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
2740 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
2741 results in failures being hidden.
2742 Use m4_defn where appropriate.
2743 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
2744 after the second argument.
2746 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
2747 syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.

2794 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.
2795 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Invoke it.

2808 * tests/m4sh.at: Don't rely on "PATH=test:$PATH test-1" working
2809 as POSIX requires, as it doesn't work with Zsh.
2810 * doc/autoconf.texi (Assignments): Document the problem.
2812 2002-03-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2814 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
2815 about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
2818 2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2820 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
2821 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
2823 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
2824 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
2825 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.
2827 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2850 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
2852 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
2853 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
2854 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
2855 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
2856 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
2857 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
2859 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
2860 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
2861 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
2862 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
2863 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
2865 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2867 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
2868 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
2869 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
2870 says 'times: not found'.

2917 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2919 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
2920 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
2923 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2925 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
2926 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
2928 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2930 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,

2958 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2960 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
2961 and host is irrelevant.
2962 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
2963 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
2964 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
2965 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
2966 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
2967 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
2969 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2971 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
2972 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
2974 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
2975 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
2976 evaluation is the current item.
2977 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
2979 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2981 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
2982 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
2984 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
2985 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
2988 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
2990 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
2991 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
2992 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
2994 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
2995 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
2996 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
2998 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3143 2002-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3145 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use configure.in,
3146 so that aclocal 1.4 works.
3147 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz and Larry Schmitt.
3149 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3151 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
3154 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3156 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
3157 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
3158 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
3159 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
3160 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
3161 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
3162 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
3163 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
3165 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.

3212 Autoconf::General::getopt with non valid options.
3214 2002-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3216 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Initialize

3230 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
3231 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
3233 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
3234 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
3235 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
3237 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3240 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
3241 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
3242 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
3244 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
3245 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
3246 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
3247 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
3248 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
3250 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3269 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3271 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
3272 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
3273 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
3274 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
3276 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
3278 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.

3282 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
3284 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3286 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename buildpath to
3287 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
3288 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.
3289 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
3290 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi, lib/autoconf/autotest.m4,

3296 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT): Fix failed
3297 C/Fortran linking on HP/UX, by extracting the Fortran library
3298 search path from the LPATH line in the $F77 -v output.
3300 2001-12-12 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

3312 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
3313 Remove $filepath, useless.
3314 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
3315 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
3316 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
3317 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
3318 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.

3320 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
3322 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3324 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
3325 Remove, replaced by...
3326 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
3327 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
3328 * configure.ac: Adjust.
3329 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
3331 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3333 * bin/autoscan.in (used): New.
3336 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3348 comment made the whole line be ignored.
3350 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3352 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
3353 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.
3354 (Autotest Logs): New.
3356 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3358 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
3360 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
3361 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
3363 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
3364 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
3365 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
3366 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
3368 2001-11-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>

3375 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3377 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
3378 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
3380 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3382 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
3383 spotted by Jim Meyering.
3385 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3387 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
3389 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
3390 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
3391 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
3392 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
3393 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
3394 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
3395 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
3396 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
3399 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3401 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
3403 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
3405 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3407 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
3408 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
3410 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3412 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
3413 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
3414 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
3416 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
3417 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
3418 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
3419 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
3420 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
3421 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
3423 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3425 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
3426 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
3428 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
3430 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3432 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
3433 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
3434 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
3435 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
3436 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
3437 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
3439 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3441 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
3443 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
3444 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
3446 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
3448 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3450 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
3453 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3455 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
3456 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
3458 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
3459 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
3460 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
3462 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
3463 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
3465 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3467 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
3468 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
3469 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
3471 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
3472 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
3474 Create the directories.
3475 Use absolute paths for at- files.
3478 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
3480 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
3482 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
3484 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3486 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
3487 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
3489 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3491 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
3492 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
3495 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3497 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
3499 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3501 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
3502 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
3503 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
3504 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
3505 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
3506 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).

3510 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
3513 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3515 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
3516 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
3517 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
3518 `missing' itself contains variables.
3520 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3522 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
3523 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
3526 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3528 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
3529 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
3530 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
3531 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
3532 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3534 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3536 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
3537 processed only if present.
3538 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
3539 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
3540 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
3541 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3543 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3545 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
3546 doesn't accept .S files.

3559 * bin/autom4te.in (--normalize): Remove.
3560 * lib/autom4te.in: Adjust.
3562 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3564 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Rename this target as...
3565 ($(TESTSUITE)): this.
3568 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3570 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
3571 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
3573 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3575 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Update.
3576 (Writing testsuite.at): Update.

3589 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
3591 Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
3592 (&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
3593 Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
3594 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
3596 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3598 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
3599 (@export_forward_subs): New.
3600 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
3602 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
3603 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
3605 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
3606 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
3608 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3610 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
3611 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
3612 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
3613 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
3615 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3632 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
3634 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
3636 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3638 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
3639 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
3640 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
3641 than character ranges.
3643 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
3644 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
3645 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
3647 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
3649 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3651 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
3652 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
3654 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
3655 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
3656 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
3657 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
3658 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
3659 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
3660 output and chmod failures.
3662 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
3665 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3675 * configure.ac: Adjust.
3677 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3679 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,

3681 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
3684 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
3685 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
3687 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
3688 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
3689 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.

3708 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
3709 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
3710 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
3711 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
3712 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
3714 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
3715 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
3716 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
3718 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
3720 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3722 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of

3740 * bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
3742 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
3743 `intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
3744 (&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
3746 ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
3748 (&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
3750 2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <petersen@redhat.com>
3752 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.

3780 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.

3782 (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
3783 and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
3784 AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
3785 (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
3786 contains white space.
3787 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
3788 Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.

3919 * tests/base.at: Adjust the tests to use AS_INIT.
3920 * tests/tools.at (AT_DATA_FORBIDDEN): New.

4057 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
4058 AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.

4170 `$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
4171 (_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke
4172 them explicitly to be sure they are not output before this section
4173 (via m4_require). Cosmetic only.

4216 arguments. Fixed a typo.
4218 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4220 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not ':' to set up
4221 $PATH. Also set AUTOM4TE_CFG, so we can process autom4te properly.

4240 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.

4245 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
4246 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
4247 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
4248 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
4250 * lib/autoconf/c.m4:
4251 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
4253 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
4254 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
4255 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
4257 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
4258 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
4261 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
4262 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
4263 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
4264 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
4265 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.

4281 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
4282 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
4283 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
4284 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
4285 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
4287 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
4288 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
4290 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4292 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
4293 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
4294 This also solves the name clash problems.
4295 Don't set the package's ID.
4296 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
4297 No longer to be shipped.
4298 (version.in): Remove.

4300 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.
4301 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
4302 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
4303 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
4304 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
4305 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
4306 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
4307 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.

4326 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
4327 Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
4328 the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
4329 fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
4330 Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
4332 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4334 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
4335 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
4336 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
4337 when they don't exist.
4339 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
4340 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
4343 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
4344 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
4345 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if

4390 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
4391 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple
4392 test suites can cohabit.

4396 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
4398 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4502 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4505 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
4507 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
4508 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.

4609 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Missing eol.

4645 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
4646 Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
4647 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
4648 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.

4659 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
4660 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
4661 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
4662 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
4663 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
4664 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
4665 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
4666 * tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
4668 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4684 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
4685 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives

4687 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
4688 find the executables for it.

4690 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
4692 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
4693 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
4694 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
4695 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...

4697 * tests/autoscan: New.
4698 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't

4717 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4719 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:

4722 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4724 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are

5106 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Refer to `$as_me.log', not
5107 `$0.log' as for projects where testsuite is in src, we'd have
5108 testsuite.log created in src.
5110 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5112 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Recognize --normalize.

5124 * doc/autoconf.texi: Work around Texinfo buglets.
5125 (Transformation Rules): One example is enough, users are expected
5126 to have their brains on. And BTW, use DESTDIR.
5127 (dvar): New macro. Use it.
5129 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5131 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at) <AT_CHECK>: Complete.

5181 2001-08-15 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5183 * tests/Makefile.am: Use a clean-local rule to remove
5184 autom4te.cache (it's a directory, not a file.
5185 * Makefile.am: Ditto (but maintainer-clean-local).
5187 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5189 * bin/autom4te.in (@m4_warning): New.

5196 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5198 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Perl is now required:
5199 don't waste time running `autoupdate --version' works.
5200 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Likewise.

5261 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5263 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
5264 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
5265 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
5266 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
5268 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5270 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
5271 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
5272 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
5274 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5276 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
5278 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
5280 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
5282 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
5283 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
5285 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5287 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
5288 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
5290 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5292 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
5294 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5296 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
5298 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
5299 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
5300 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
5301 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
5302 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
5304 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5306 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
5307 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
5308 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
5310 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
5311 Dump information on the first run of each test.
5312 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
5315 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5317 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
5318 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
5319 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
5320 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
5322 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
5323 does not like `' instead of [].
5324 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
5325 And don't output such tokens.
5326 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
5327 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
5328 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
5329 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
5330 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
5331 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
5333 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5335 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
5337 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5339 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
5341 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5343 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
5344 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
5346 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
5347 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
5348 (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
5350 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5352 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
5353 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
5356 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
5357 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
5358 (@Request::source): Rename as...
5359 (@Request::input): this.
5360 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
5361 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
5362 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
5363 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
5364 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
5366 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5368 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
5369 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
5371 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
5372 (Request::id): this.
5373 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
5374 (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
5375 (&handle_output): Adjust.
5376 (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
5377 (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
5378 Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
5380 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5382 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
5383 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
5384 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
5385 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
5387 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5389 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
5390 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
5391 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
5393 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
5394 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
5395 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
5396 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
5397 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
5398 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
5399 (&mtime): New, export it.
5400 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
5401 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
5402 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
5404 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5406 Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
5407 must be proposed to the users.
5409 * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
5411 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
5412 (&up_to_date_p): Adjust.

5415 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5417 * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
5418 macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple

5423 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without

5428 * bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
5431 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5433 Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.
5435 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins
5437 (@m4_builtins): Rename as...
5438 (@m4_builtin): this.
5439 (%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New.
5440 (&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names.
5441 (&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here.
5442 (&trace_requests): Remove, unused.
5444 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5446 * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit,

5452 (m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
5454 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
5455 occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
5456 Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
5457 the appear in the output.
5458 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
5459 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
5460 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
5461 autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
5462 Check that `dnl' is caught.
5464 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5466 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52c.

5483 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Remove your
5484 `END', as `Autom4te::General::END' will be triggered.
5485 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Improve error messages accuracy.
5486 * bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of
5487 system to run `mv', `rm', and `cmp'.

5491 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&unique): New.
