1 2005-02-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
3 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Be more careful to skip
4 `/usr/ucb/cc'; use `cl.exe' to distinguish the MS compiler
5 from a Common Lisp's `cl'.
6 (AC_PROG_CXX): Behave according to the documentation: don't
7 search for $ac_tool_prefix$CCC and $CCC, just set CXX=$CCC;
8 make the variable CCC precious; use `cl.exe', not `cl'.
10 2005-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
13 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Redirect stdin from
14 /dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this insulates
15 us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl"). Also, do this
16 redirection before invoking "hostname" or "uname", and keep the
17 original input stream available via...
18 (AS_ORIGINAL_STDIN_FD): ... this new macro.
19 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Don't
20 bother with "</dev/null" since it's now done at the top of
21 'configure'.
22 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Likewise.
23 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise.
24 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FLAVOR_GNU): Likewise.

26 (Printing Messages): Mention it.
27 * tests/base.at (Input/Output): New test.
29 2005-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
31 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): Don't set ECHO_C to
32 newline if neither \c nor -n work, as that would output two
33 newlines. Prefer -n to \c. Reported by Stepan Kasal.
35 2005-02-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
37 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_IF): Define by m4_defun, not m4_define.
38 This causes that any required macros inside will get before the if.
39 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te.cache): A typo.
41 2005-02-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
43 Undo previous change, except keep the change to
44 lib/autoconf/programs.m4 that replaced grep with shell
45 pattern-matching. This is because net-snmp configure reads stdin.
46 Reported by Noah Misch.
48 2005-02-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
50 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Redirect stdin
51 from /dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this
52 insulates us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl").
53 Suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz. Also, do this redirection
54 before invoking "hostname" or "uname".
55 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
56 _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Undo previous change, as it's no longer needed.
57 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Don't bother with
58 "</dev/null" since it's now done at the top of 'configure'.
59 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise.
60 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FLAVOR_GNU): Likewise.
61 Also, replace grep with shell pattern-matching, to save a process.
63 2005-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
65 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
66 _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Redirect stdin to /dev/null, in an attempt to
67 avoid thinking that Allegro Common Lisp's "cl" command is a C++
68 compiler.
70 2005-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
72 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document that
73 grep -q isn't portable. Improve grep -s explanation.
74 Problem reported by Dan Manthey.
76 2005-02-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
78 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Clarify
79 PATH_SEPARATOR wording; fix typo in IFS. Reported by Gary V. Vaughan.
81 2005-02-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
83 * doc/autoconf.texi: Use @acronym for DJGPP.
84 Fix some @code's that should have been @env's, and vice versa.
85 Sort environment variable names.
86 Mention that shells no longer inherit IFS.
87 Don't recommend PATH_SEPARATOR=';' so strongly.
88 Mention that $RANDOM might expand to the empty string.
89 "symlink" and "soft link" -> "symbolic link".
90 Improve mktemp description (reported by Bruno Haible).
92 2005-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
94 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Don't overquote AT_SETUP arg.
95 * tests/m4sh.at (AS_DIRNAME, AS_BASENAME, AS_MKDIR_P, AS_HELP_STRING):
96 Likewise.
97 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN, AC_PATH_PROG & AC_PATH_PROGS):
98 Likewise.
100 2005-02-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
102 * NEWS: Mention AT_COPYRIGHT.
104 * tests/local.at (AT_CMP): Use diff directly on input files rather
105 than copying them.
107 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Don't look in
108 /usr/xpg4/bin since that sed dumps core (at least on Solaris 8).
110 2005-02-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
111 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
113 * tests/autotest.at (Empty test suite): New test.
114 * tests/torture.at (Substitute and define special characters)

118 2005-02-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
120 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Revert 2002-03-04.

123 * tests/m4sugar.at (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR_TEXT, AT_CHECK_M4RE): New macros.
124 (Standard regular expressions): New test.
125 (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies, m4_text_wrap): Strip
126 excess test name quoting.
127 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_OLD, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): Pass
128 CPPFLAGS to `configure' instead of setting it in `configure'.
130 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_UNAME): Try only /usr/bin/hostinfo, not
131 any `hostinfo' in $PATH, since hostinfo.exe is a popular file name
132 on some platforms.
134 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_LANG(Fortran), AC_FC_SRCEXT):
135 s/FC_SRCEXT/ac_fc_srcext/; s/FCFLAGS_SRCEXT/ac_fcflags_srcext/.

163 2005-02-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
165 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_escape): Escape ?, ^, \, $ too;
166 this fixes a bug tickled by the AT_CAPTURE_FILE change noted below.
168 Try not to generated lines of unlimited length, as POSIX places a
169 2047-byte limit on line length of portable text files.
170 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE):
171 Use newline as a separator, not space.
172 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_TESTED, AT_KEYWORDS): Likewise.
173 (AT_CAPTURE_FILE): Use space-backslash-newline as a separator, not
174 space.
176 2005-02-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
178 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK): Move func_* to

180 are restored after function return.
182 2005-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
184 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention _,
185 BIN_SH, DUALCASE. Say that variables other than "status" are safe
186 if they contain a lower-case letter. The DUALCASE problem was
187 reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
189 * bin/autoconf.as: Don't exit with status 0 after write failure
190 with --help or --version.
191 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): Likewise.
192 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Likewise.
194 2005-02-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

197 Unicos 9 sed limitations.
198 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Try cf77 before fort77
199 to get the option-enhanced interface on older Crays. Try ftn for
200 Fortran 95 (newer Crays).
202 2005-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
204 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Go back to the simple solution, but take
205 care to echo the commands, so the user knows what's going on.
206 Modified from a suggestion by Stepan Kasal.
208 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Mention autopoint,
209 with a cross reference. Derived from a suggestion by Bruce Korb.
211 2005-01-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
213 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Warn about

216 Based on a proposed patch by Ralf Wildenhues.
218 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make sure the required generated files
219 are up to date. Problem and original solution proposed by Stepan Kasal.
220 $(dist_man_MANS:.1=-bin-prereq), $(dist_man_MANS:.1=-tests-prereq),
221 implicit-man-prerequisites): New rules, used by the above.
223 * doc/make-stds.texi, doc/standards.texi: Sync from gnulib.

227 2005-01-29 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
229 Simplify the implementation of m4_require (a.k.a. AC_REQUIRE).
230 Update the long comment explaining it.
232 m4_require no longer writes an ``is required by'' line to the
233 execution stack. It contains only one bit of non-redundant
234 information: that the macro was required, not called. And even
235 this bit is useless in most situations: have you ever met a macro
236 which both calls and requires the same macro?
238 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_defun_pro): Don't push a diversion...
239 (_m4_defun_pro_outer): ... only via this macro, for the outermost
240 macro.
241 (_m4_defun_epi, _m4_defun_epi_outer): Complementarily.
242 (m4_expansion_stack_pop): Remove the misplaced comment.
243 (m4_require): Don't put the ``is required by'' line to the
244 execution stack; slightly improve the out-of-a-defun error message.
245 (_m4_divert_grow): New macro, counter for the temporary diversions.
246 (_m4_require_call): Use it.
247 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_require): Expect output without the
248 ``is required by'' messages.
250 2005-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
252 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Recommend X
253 rather than x for expr.
255 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): Avoid subshells when
256 this is safe.
257 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP): Likewise.
258 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Likewise.
259 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
260 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Likewise.

268 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm
269 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Update
270 from masters, so that FileUtils.pm's update_file provide --force
271 support.
272 * bin/autoheader.in: Pass $force to update_file so that
273 config.h.in is always recreated when --force.
275 2005-01-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
277 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): Update Peter Simons' address.
279 2005-01-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
281 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Clarify that
282 "if test ! -d foo; ..." is portable. Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
284 2005-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
286 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Fix typo in case statement.
287 Warn about newline stripping in `` and $(). Update Solaris
288 version to 9.
289 (Limitations of Builtins): Use expr "X...", not expr "x...", as
290 X insulates us from future changes to Posix.
291 (Limitations of Usual Tools): For AS_DIRNAME, warn about newline
292 stripping.
294 2005-01-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
296 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Delete the false comment that
297 you cannot use AC_DEFINE to define macros containing `[' or `]'.
299 2005-01-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
301 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document bug

309 2005-01-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
311 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Declare longval and
312 ulongval to be static, to avoid unwanted GCC warning. Problem
313 reported by Michael Jennings via Daniel Reed; see
314 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=143852>.
316 2005-01-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
318 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Define datarootdir,
319 docdir, htmldir, dvidir, pdfdir, psdir, and localdir. Update
320 datadir, infodir, and mandir. Adjust argument parsing code.
321 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Update help text.
322 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Document
323 new variables.
325 2005-01-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
327 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): If the Make program does
328 not seem to work, assume it does set $(MAKE).
329 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Update.
331 2005-01-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
333 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_REQUIRE): Add a comment about nesting.

337 A cleanup of the diversion support in m4sugar.
339 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_divert): A typo in description.
340 (_m4_divert_n_stack): New macro; the expansion is
341 <newline>m4_divert_stack, if m4_divert_stack is defined, and void
342 otherwise.
343 (m4_divert, m4_divert_push, m4_divert_pop, m4_init): Use it.
344 (m4_divert_push, m4_divert_pop, _m4_defun_epi): Don't expand the word
345 stored in _m4_divert_diversion or _m4_divert_dump.
346 (m4_divert_pop): When the parameter is given, compare the symbolic
347 name with the last diversion pushed on the stack. Previously, the
348 current diversion was compared with the numeric value of the
349 diversion given as the parameter.
350 (m4_require): If the macro hasn't been expanded yet, call ...
351 (_m4_require_call): this new macro.
353 2005-01-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
355 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE):

437 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Quote ``$tmp'' in many places.
438 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): Fix the comment, as traps are
439 no longer part of the macro, quote the occurrence of ``$tmp''.

565 autoscan.1, autoupdate.1, ifnames.1, config.guess.1, config.sub.1):

571 (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf, autoscan, autoupdate,

577 * tests/.cvsignore: Add wrapper.in.

656 2004-12-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
658 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Use
659 "char c = '\200';" rather than "char c = 0x80;" as the
660 latter doesn't conform to the strict C standard due to
661 overflow on signed char hosts.
663 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Prefer -qlanglvl=extc89
664 to -qlanglvl=ansi. We don't want to disable extensions.

721 simplify the examples and improve their quoting.
723 2004-11-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
725 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't check
726 the $1_found variable, don't test whether the file is executable;

776 2004-09-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
778 * lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): If xmkmf returns
779 "/usr/include", clear ac_x_includes instead of leaving it as "no"

783 2004-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
785 * doc/autoconf.texi: Give AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED
786 three args in examples. Problem reported by Frederik Fouvry in:
787 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-09/msg00017.html

816 worked...
818 * doc/autoconf.texi: Update URLs, some of which went stale.

821 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Have configure
822 handle "--" as per POSIX. Suggested by Paul Pogonyshev.
824 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp,
825 config/install-sh, config/mkinstalldirs, config/texinfo.tex,
826 doc/fdl.texi, doc/standards.texi: Sync with master copy.

834 lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, tests/local.at, tests/m4sh.at,

836 Use "file name" rather than "filename" or "path",

847 This isn't a complete fix but it's an improvement.
849 * bin/autoconf.as (autom4te_options): New var.
850 Use it instead of appending to AUTOM4TE, so that we can allow
851 spaces in the build directory's absolute name.
852 * bin/autoheader.in ($autoconf): Allow spaces in file names.
853 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP, _AT_CHECK,

874 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): Use configure.in, not configure.ac,

884 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
885 AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE. Automake 1.10 will trace it.
887 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
889 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
890 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET. Automake 1.9.1 will
891 trace them.
893 2004-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
895 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Set BIN_SH, for

906 useful for pkdsh, too.
908 2004-06-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
910 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Require
911 _AS_UNSET_PREPARE, so that we can use $as_unset directly.
912 Don't fail if ENV or BASH_ENV is readonly.
913 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Don't fail if ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, LC_ALL,
914 etc. are read only. Problem reported by Ludovic Courtes.

924 * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Warn about
925 names like "aux". Problem reported by Eric Blake.
927 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY (C)): Use division
928 by zero instead of array size, so that we can use any arithmetic
929 constant expression (instead of requiring an integer constant
930 expression). This allows us to test expressions like DBL_MAX <
931 LDBL_MAX, which didn't conform to the C standard using the old
932 method.
933 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Put back in the tests for LDBL_MAX and LDBL_EPSILON,
934 now that we can do floating-point tests at compile time.
936 2004-06-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
938 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Don't check LDBL_MAX
939 and LDBL_EPSILON, as the resulting expression isn't an
940 integer constant expression and violates the C standard.
941 Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. Also, check
942 for "L" suffix, and check that long double doesn't have
943 worse range or precision than double, that mixed-mode
944 arithmetic doesn't generate a diagnostic, that double
945 constants fit in long double.

949 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on free(NULL),
950 malloc(0) and realloc(NULL,size).
952 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Spelling error reported by
953 Bob Proulx.
955 2004-05-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
957 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (HAVE_STDBOOL_H): Detect _Bool bug
958 in HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]. Problem reported
959 by Jim Meyering.
961 2004-05-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
963 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Mention that ! COMMAND
964 can be rewritten using if-then-else. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
966 2004-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
968 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Fix typo.
969 Problem reported by Stepan Kasal.
971 2004-05-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
973 * tests/Makefile.am (autoconfdir): Fix to match comment (trivial
974 change). Patch reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
975 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-05/msg00092.html>.
977 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Don't assume that a
978 function F exists if the compiler and linker let you compile an
979 expression like (F != 0). Recent versions of GCC optimize away
980 the reference to F in that case, since every function address must
981 be nonzero, so the link succeeds even if F does not exist.
982 Problem reported by Manu in
983 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00060.html>.
985 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Standardize on the spelling of
986 "Unix". Many uses changed.
987 (Limitations of Builtins): Explain better why the ! command isn't
988 portable.
990 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
992 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
993 LT_SUPPORTED_TAG in lieu of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS.
995 2004-05-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
997 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add strerror_r, cross
998 referencing AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R.
1000 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): In AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID,
1001 note pessimistic assumption when cross compiling.
1003 2004-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1005 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Note that BSD make
1006 (until 2004) invoked subcommands with sh -e, contra POSIX.
1007 Reported by Kevin Ryde.
1009 2004-05-10 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
1011 * programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Fixed bug where PATH argument handed to
1012 _AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK contained leading whitespace (i.e.
1013 " $PATH:/usr/xpg4/bin"). This resulted in bogus tests, such as
1014 `test -f " /usr/bin/grep"', which _always_ failed.
1015 (AC_PROG_SED): Ditto bogus PATH fix.
1016 * autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_GREP): Properly document that this macro
1017 requires that grep correctly supports _multiple_ `-e' options, rather
1018 than stating only that grep should accept `-e'.
1020 2004-05-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1022 Port to C99, which requires that 'exit' be declared.
1024 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT
1025 to ensure that stdlib.h is included.
1026 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP,
1027 AC_FUNC_STRTOD, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_FORK, _AC_FUNC_FORK,
1028 _AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3): Likewise.
1029 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Likewise.
1030 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS): Likewise.
1031 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Include <stdlib.h>
1032 when using 'exit' in a test; C99 requires that 'exit' be declared.
1034 2004-05-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1036 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_GREP
1037 now prefers 'grep' implementations that accept -e.
1038 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Describe problems of traditional
1039 egrep and fgrep with long input lines, and of traditional grep
1040 with -e.
1041 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Check for -e, too.
1042 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Assume 3rd arg is properly quoted for the shell.
1043 All callers changed. Append /usr/xpg4/bin to the PATH, for
1044 Solaris.
1045 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Discard stderr, so we don't bother
1046 the user with complaints about multiple -e options.
1047 * tests/local.at (AC_STATE_SAVE): Use $GREP, not grep.
1048 Define it with AC_PROG_GREP.
1049 * configure.ac (AC_PROG_GREP): Add.
1050 * lib/freeze.mk (GREP): New macro.
1052 2004-05-02 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
1054 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Consult $SHELL as
1055 a possible candidate only after all others fail, rather than
1056 consulting it first. This improves backward compatibility by
1057 better reflecting the way shell selection occurred in previous
1058 versions of Autoconf, and should help to avoid triggering latent
1059 problems in other packages, such as the one in Automake where zsh
1060 is not handled robustly:
1061 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2004-04/msg00095.html
1062 Although it is not Autoconf's responsibility to work around
1063 problems in Automake, it nevertheless makes sense to avoid
1064 introducing unnecessary incompatibilites.
1066 2004-04-22 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>,
1067 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
1069 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't guess
1070 how deeply nested we are when a suitable tool is found, set the
1071 ac_path_TOOL_found flag.
1072 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK): Encapsulate knowledge of how deeply
1073 nested we are in this macro. Break out of all 3 nested loops if
1074 ac_path_TOOL_found is set.
1076 2004-04-21 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
1078 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Break out
1079 of the _AS_PATH_WALK loop too if GNU flavor is found.
1081 2004-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1083 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Update documentation
1084 for `$<'. New entry `Long lines', based on a report from Simon
1085 Josefsson. Augment the documentation for SHELL = @SHELL@ with a
1086 paragraph about DJGPP, based on a mail from Richard Dawe.
1088 2004-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1090 * tests/c.at (C keywords): Don't assume that GCC supports
1091 "restrict" and "inline", as sufficiently-old GCC versions do not
1092 (also, GCC configured to be in pedantic C89 mode does not).
1093 Problem reported by Sumit Pandya in:
1094 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-04/msg00092.html
1096 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_G, _AC_PROG_CXX_G): Don't
1097 consider -g to work if it generates warnings when plain compiles
1098 don't. Problem reported by Braden McDaniel in:
1099 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00014.html
1101 * doc/autoconf.texi (Slashes): New section, to document a problem
1102 reported by Jim Meyering in:
1103 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00060.html
1105 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Remove potential
1106 linker output files before linking, to work around IRIX 6 linker bug.
1107 Problem reported by Rainer Orth in:
1108 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-02/msg00007.html
1110 2004-04-20 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
1112 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Make the
1113 best tool so far counter rely on the tool path variable name to
1114 avoid checks for one tool being affected by the results of running
1115 the length check on a previous tool.
1117 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Take an additional
1118 match expression argument, as different greps have different
1119 regular expression flavours.
1120 (AC_PROG_FGREP): Pass 'FGREP'. fgrep treats all match chars as
1121 literals.
1122 (AC_PROG_EGREP): Pass 'EGREP$'.
1123 (AC_PROG_GREP): Pass 'GREP$'.
1125 2004-04-20 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>
1127 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Cache variable
1128 is `ac_cv_path_GREP', not `oc_cv_path_GREP'.
1130 2004-03-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1132 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers, Particular Types, Generic
1133 Types, Specific Compiler Characteristics, System Services,
1134 Obsolete Macros): Use 'long int', 'short int', 'unsigned int'
1135 etc. consistently instead of 'long', 'short', 'unsigned' etc.
1136 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C), AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
1137 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES):
1138 Likewise.
1139 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT): Likewise.
1140 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_TYPE_SIZE_T,
1141 AC_TYPE_OFF_T): Likewise.
1142 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_TYPES: backward compatibility):
1143 Likewise.

1148 2004-03-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1150 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Structures): AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE
1151 now defines HAVE_DECL_TZNAME if it is declared, when
1152 HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE is not defined.
1153 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Implement this.
1154 Do not assume atoi. Rely on HAVE_DECL_TZNAME when testing
1155 for HAVE_TZNAME.
1157 2004-03-28 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
1159 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Corrected
1160 superfluous backslashing of quotes (") in sed expressions;
1161 thanks to Paul Eggert.
1163 2004-03-26 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1165 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): new name of Intel
1166 Fortran compiler is ifort, also added pghpf; thanks to Nelson
1167 H. F. Beebe for the bug report.
1169 2004-03-26 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
1171 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): fix for
1172 quoted -cmdline argument in Portland Group compiler (bug
1173 reported by Jeffrey J. Barteet).
1175 2004-03-25 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

1199 AC_CHECK_TOOLS.
1200 (Specifying Names): Document the reason for these future
1201 behavioral changes.

1203 new macros.
1204 * NEWS: Document these changes.
1206 * doc/autoconf.texi: Avoid macros with unbraced arguments,

1212 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document it.
1213 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Use long int rather than
1214 int; avoid "a `$1'" since this isn't grammatical if $1 begins with a
1215 vowel.

1217 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Exclude AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF.
1218 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF): Add tests similar to
1219 those for sizeof.
1221 2004-03-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1223 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Don't use $< in a context where
1224 POSIX doesn't require support for it. Use $@.in instead.
1225 Problem reported by Anthony N. Frasso in
1226 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-03/msg00008.html>.

1257 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Ignore all
1258 flags of the form -lcrt*.o, not just -lcrt[01].o and -lcrtbegin.o.
1259 Darwin uses -lcrt2.o and there's little point to cataloging all
1260 the system variants. Partial fix reported by Andreas Waechter in:

1380 tests/actypes.at: Regenerate and/or sync with original
1381 sources.
1383 2004-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1385 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Include <stdint.h> even if
1386 HAVE_INTTYPES_H is defined. This is needed on Tru64 5.1b with
1387 Compac C V6.5-207 (dtk), which defines uintmax_t in <stdint.h> but
1388 not <inttypes.h>. Problem reported by Tim Mooney in
1389 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-01/msg00147.html>.
1390 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS):
1391 Likewise.
1393 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Use diff, not sed;
1394 otherwise "make check" fails because it forbids cmp (I guess
1395 because cmp treats files as binary on DOS-like systems).
1397 * tests/mktests.sh: Update copyright date to 2004, since some tests
1398 have changed in 2004.
1400 2004-01-23 Gary V. Vaugan <gary@gnu.org>
1402 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): New macro to test for a
1403 non-truncating sed or gsed program in PATH.
1404 * tests/acprograms.at: Add it.
1405 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document it.
1406 * NEWS: Updated.
1408 2004-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1410 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Try -std, not -std1, since
1411 -std1 disables some useful extensions on Tru64. Problem reported
1412 by N. Lichtmaier in
1413 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00100.html>.
1415 2004-01-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1417 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document that
1418 AS_MKDIR_P succeeds if the destination is a symbolic link
1419 to an existing directory.
1420 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note that mkdir -p might not
1421 succeed on symlinks to directories.
1423 2004-01-13 Paul Hilfinger <hilfinger@CS.Berkeley.EDU>
1425 * lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFUN): Grammar fix in comment.
1426 * bin/autoheader.in: Grammar fix in message.
1427 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P):

1432 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): In AC_TRY_COMPILE and
1433 AC_TRY_LINK, s/AC_LANG_SOURCE/AC_LANG_PROGRAM/. (trivial change)
1435 2004-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1437 * doc/autoconf.texi (Running the Preprocessor): Correct grammar.
1439 2004-01-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1441 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fix bug: AC_CHECK_SIZEOF evokes a warning
1442 with `autoconf -Wall,error'. Bug reported by Eric Blake in:
1443 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-01/msg00000.html
1444 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Invoke _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not
1445 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, since we now assume our caller invokes
1446 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE, for symmetry with _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
1447 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN): Likewise, for _AC_RUN_IFELSE instead
1448 of AC_RUN_IFELSE; this avoids the warning mentioned above.
1449 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
1451 2004-01-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1453 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): Avoid \$ inside
1454 `"'...'"`, as it's confusing (and I suspect it may not work on
1455 some platforms). The code was incorrect anyway, as it assumed
1456 that \$ evaluated to itself in that context. Reported by
1457 Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1459 2004-01-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1461 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS
1462 and _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG.

1466 * doc/autoconf.texi (One Macro Call): Fix an incorrect
1467 example, and add more examples. Reported by Eric Sunshine.
1469 2004-01-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1471 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
1472 Remove warning against "rm -fr" introduced yesterday; it
1473 was a false alarm.
1475 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf,
1476 autoscan, autoupdate, ifnames): Don't use chmod -w.
1477 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Likewise.
1478 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Warn against
1479 "chmod -w".
1481 2004-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1482 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1484 * libc/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Speed up sed scripts
1485 by doing lineno substitution only on lines containing "$LINENO".
1487 2004-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1489 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM):
1490 Use "rm -f" to remove conftest.sed, not plain "rm".
1491 Bug reported by David Relson in
1492 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00011.html>.
1494 * Makefile.am (autom4te-update):
1495 Replace "rm -rf" and "rm -fr" with "rm -f -r", as POSIX requires.
1496 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck, do-po-update): Likewise.
1497 * doc/autoconf.texi (Guidelines): Likewise.
1498 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Likewise.

1502 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): Likewise.
1503 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Likewise.
1504 * tests/tortue.at (AC_CONFIG_FILES, HEADERS, LINKS and COMMANDS,
1505 srcdir): Likewise.
1506 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
1507 Warn against "rm -fr".
1509 2004-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1511 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Mention that cc
1512 -c -o might not work. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
1513 (C Compiler, Generating Sources, Limitations
1514 of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
1515 Don't put '-o' after non-options, as POSIX doesn't allow this.
1516 Mention that cc's name might be gcc or c89 or whatever.
1518 2004-01-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1520 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add various further index entries.
1522 2003-12-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1524 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory):
1525 Fix typo: mkdir without umask arg.
1527 2003-12-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1529 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <Automatic rule rewriting>:
1530 Documents OSF1/Tru64 make behavior. Replace `VPATH = ../src' by
1531 `VPATH = ../pkg/src' in examples to make the OSF1/Tru64 make
1532 explanation clearer.
1534 2003-12-24 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1536 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Fix misspelling of

1541 * configure.ac: Test if sh -n works.
1542 * configure: Regenerate.
1543 * tests/atlocal.in: Store the result here.
1544 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX): Extracted from

1546 of explicitly testing.
1547 (AT_CHECK_PERL_SYNTAX): Moved from tools.at.
1548 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Test for the configure script syntax.
1549 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the shell scripts): Simplify

1566 macros.
1567 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Move reinvocation code from
1568 _AS_LINENO_WORKS, use it to find out if shell
1569 functions work.
1570 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Don't find another shell if $LINENO
1571 does not work.
1572 (AS_INIT): Pass parameter down to AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
1573 (AS_REQUIRE_SHELL_FN): Test that AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN

1584 (&sizes): New.
1585 Use them.

1587 them on the fly.
1589 2003-11-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1591 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_LEX can

1634 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Revise, showing $host rather
1635 than $target since the latter is not usual, add guidelines on when to

1660 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Fix use of AS_SET_CATFILE

1817 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Omit quoted
1818 -mGLOB_options_string stuff for Intel ifc, which can cause

1820 pattern-matching instead of grep.
1822 2003-10-08 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>

1842 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
1843 cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
1844 since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.
1846 2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1848 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f

1856 remove/deprecate the DIALECT optional argument in the future if it
1857 proves troublesome.
1858 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Exit 77 upon failure to fix test suite for
1859 non-freeform-supporting compilers. Document freeform flags.
1861 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1863 * configure.ac: Look for emacs, not macs.
1864 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
1866 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1868 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoreconf-preselections): Trace AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
1869 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Create the
1870 AUX_DIR if needed, for sake of automake --add-missing etc.
1871 Suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1873 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1875 * configure.ac: Quotation and formatting changes.
1876 (EMACS): Don't set it if it is not recent enough to support
1877 autoconf-mode.el.

1896 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Use Errno.
1897 (lock): Ignore ENOLCK errors. Problem reported Andreas Schwab in
1898 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-09/msg00141.html>.
1900 2003-09-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1902 * config/announce-gen (&print_news_deltas): Extracted from...
1903 (&print_changelog_deltas): here.
1904 (&news_file): Rename as...
1905 (@news_file): this.

1910 have been created when invoking the compiler.

1922 Problem reported by Lars J. Aas in
1923 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-07/msg00042.html>.
1924 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): Change "rm -fr ./-p" to the more-conservative
1925 "test -d ./-p && rmdir ./-p". Suggested by Andreas Schwab in:
1926 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-09/msg00039.html
1928 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1930 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
1931 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
1932 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
1933 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
1934 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
1936 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1938 * bin/autoscan.in (Autom4te::FileUtils): Use it for find_file.
1939 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

1943 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Don't overquote the
1944 arguments.

1955 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1957 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
1958 Reported by Henk Krus.
1959 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
1961 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
1962 AT_help_all.
1963 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
1964 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
1965 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
1966 (AT_INIT): here.
1967 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...
1968 (at_times_p): this.
1969 (AT_INIT): When summarizing the test that ran, remove
1970 $at_times_file after use, and check it is present before trying to
1971 use it.
1973 2003-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1975 Version 2.57d.
1977 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Handle '@configure_input@'.
1978 (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf, autoscan, autoupdate)
1979 (ifnames): chmod -w.
1980 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
1981 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
1982 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
1983 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
1984 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
1985 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
1986 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
1987 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a
1988 -w file.
1989 * config/install-sh: Upgrade from CVS Automake.
1991 2003-09-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

1994 versus test -L issues.
1996 2003-09-23 Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@mvista.com> and
1997 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1999 Trivial change to support GCC's configuration procedure.
2000 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR): New macro.
2001 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Don't warn
2002 about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for
2003 any warning.

2024 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): Promote linux/types.h,
2025 not asm/types.h.
2027 2003-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2029 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): linux/random.h.
2030 From Peter Hendrickson.
2032 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2034 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Make it harder to be
2035 willing to edit the output files.
2037 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2039 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): Also exercise AC_FC_SRCEXT
2040 and AC_FC_FREEFORM.
2041 * tests/mktests.sh: Skip AC_FC_SRCEXT.
2042 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM): Likewise.
2044 2003-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2046 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&update_file): s/cannot not/cannot/g.
2047 Reported by Gary Vaughan.

2053 trailing files.
2055 2003-09-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2057 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS):
2058 Improve the accuracy of the wording about obsolescence.
2059 From a suggestion by Ian Lance Taylor in
2060 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-09/msg00044.html>.
2062 2003-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2064 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Try -ffree-form too,
2065 for the benefit of g77 3.2. Fix suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
2067 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2069 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Fix the filtering of
2070 AC_FUNC_WAIT3.
2072 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2074 * bin/autom4te.in: Use &fatal where more appropriate than &error.
2075 (freeze): When exiting, use $exit_code.
2076 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4: Comment changes.
2078 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2080 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Add AC_FC_FUNC.
2082 2003-09-02 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
2084 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
2085 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
2086 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
2087 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
2088 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
2089 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
2090 AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.
2092 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX(C), _AC_LANG_PREFIX(C++)):
2093 New macros.
2094 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Invoke _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_FC_HOOKS if defined.
2095 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_LANG(Fortran), _AC_FORTRAN_ASSERT,

2097 _AC_LANG_PREFIX(Fortran), _AC_FC, AC_LANG_SOURCE(Fortran),

2109 AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN, AC_F77_MAIN, _AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING,
2110 AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING, AC_F77_WRAPPERS, AC_F77_FUNC):
2111 Rewrite in terms of the above.
2112 (_AC_PROG_F77_G, _AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT, _AC_PROG_F77_V): Remove.
2113 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX): New macro.
2114 * tests/acfortran.at: Test AC_FC_FREEFORM, AC_FC_FUNC,
2115 AC_FC_MAIN, AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_WRAPPERS, AC_PROG_FC_C_O.
2117 2003-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2119 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make):
2120 Document problems with timestamp resolution that 'make', 'cp -p', and
2121 'touch -r' have.
2123 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2125 * tests/m4sugar.at (cross_warning): Make sure to enable the
2126 output, so that we can track spurious m4sugar output.
2127 * tests/local.at: Require 2.57.
2128 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't m4_default the arguments that
2129 are defaulted by AT_CHECK anyway.
2130 Use AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE.
2131 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: There should be no output at all: add a
2132 missing dnl.
2134 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2136 * bin/autoheader.in: Issue the "Using auxiliary..." message only
2137 when -Wobsolete is set.
2138 Set it on by default.
2139 Suggested by Klee Dienes.
2141 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2150 after AC_OUTPUT.
2152 2003-08-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2190 * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust to output the call stack.
2191 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Adjust.
2193 2003-08-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2195 * lib/Autom4te/Request.pm, lib/Autom4te/C4che.pm: New.
2196 * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust.
2198 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2200 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&file_name_is_absolute): Remove.
2201 (&verbose): Remove.
2202 (&getopt): Adjust the note and verb channels, depending upon
2203 --verbose.

2208 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2210 * bin/autoheader.in (&parse_args): Use &parse_warnings and
2211 &parse_WARNINGS.

2213 * bin/autoscan.in: Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs.
2214 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it.
2216 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2218 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
2219 including when the cache is used.
2221 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
2222 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
2223 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
2224 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
2225 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
2227 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
2228 Use them.
2229 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
2230 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
2231 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
2232 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
2233 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
2234 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
2235 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
2236 failure, hence we can use the cache.
2237 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
2238 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
2239 Remove.
2240 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
2241 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
2242 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
2243 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
2244 the latter reveals calls to the former.
2246 Adjust the tests.
2248 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
2250 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2252 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
2253 Use them.
2255 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2257 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in
2258 forward order.
2259 * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos.
2260 (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests.
2261 (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect.
2262 (cross): New warning category.
2264 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2266 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (&find_configure_ac)
2267 (&require_configure_ac): Accept an optional directory argument.
2268 ($configure_ac): Remove.
2269 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_configure_ac, &canonfile)
2270 (&catfile): Remove.
2271 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
2272 * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust.
2274 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2276 * bin/autoheader.in: Remove duplicate 'use Autom4te::FileUtils'.
2277 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
2279 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2281 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
2282 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
2283 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
2284 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
2285 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
2286 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
2287 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.
2288 More perldoc.
2289 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to...
2290 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here.
2292 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2294 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm
2295 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: New,

2301 (autom4te-update): New.
2302 * Makefile.cfg (update): Bind autom4te-update.
2304 2003-08-19 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2306 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Comment various HELP_* diversions.
2307 (PARSE_ARGS_BEGIN): New section for option parsing related
2308 initialization.

2322 and m4_sinclude.
2324 2003-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2326 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Move all args except aclocal.m4? into ...
2327 (Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4): ... this new language.
2328 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te Invocation): Mention
2329 Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4.
2331 2003-08-18 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>

2345 2003-08-14 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2347 * lib/autotestgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Reformat test summary line to print
2348 DESCRIPTION rather than FILE and LINE. Shorten result to fit in new,
2349 shorter column three. Add DESCRIPTION to log file content.
2351 2003-08-13 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2353 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Correct typo in final status
2354 output.
2356 2003-08-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2358 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Use new _AT_CHECK API.
2359 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Move core functionality to...
2360 (_AT_CHECK): ...this new macro.
2362 2003-08-07 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2364 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Move core functionality...
2365 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): ...to this new macro.
2367 2003-07-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2369 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): Work around a bug
2370 in Bash 2.01. Problem reported by Brian Gough in
2371 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-07/msg00106.html>.
2373 2003-07-25 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
2375 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Also ignore
2376 -lcrt1.o, for OS X. (trivial change)
2378 2003-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2380 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Wrap the '#define inline ...'
2381 inside '#ifndef __cplusplus'. Problem reported by
2382 Bob Friesenhahn.
2384 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
2386 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
2387 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
2388 (trivial change). See:
2389 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html
2390 (This really should be 'intptr_t', not 'long', but that would
2391 take more work.)
2393 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2395 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Make it read only.
2396 Depend on Makefile since it contains substitutions.
2397 From Paolo Bonzini.
2398 * lib/autom4te.in (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
2399 This change was made on autom4te.cfg which is generated.
2400 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
2402 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2404 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): sys/mount.h.
2405 From Gareth McCaughan.
2407 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2409 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
2410 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
2411 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
2412 top_srcdir to find config.log.
2413 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
2414 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
2416 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2418 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being
2419 always run: output config.log on $at_group_log.
2421 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2423 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Don't use quotes in
2424 C++ comments as it puzzles Emacs' sh font-lock-mode.
2426 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2428 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Fix output copyright notice.
2429 * lib/autom4te.cfg (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
2430 * tests/atspecific.m4: Rename as...
2431 * tests/local.at: This.
2432 * tests/suite.at: Move the globals into...
2433 * tests/local.at: here.
2434 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2435 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
2437 2003-06-21 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2439 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extend test program to get an
2440 error from OSF 4.0 Compaq cc in its default almost-ANSI mode, thereby
2441 ensuring we add -std1 for full-ANSI.
2443 * doc/autoconf.texi (hdrindex): New macro.
2444 Add index entries for portability of various standard header files.
2446 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2448 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.57b.
2450 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2452 Version 2.57a.
2454 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2456 * bin/autom4te.in: Don't rely on $HOME being defined.
2457 Reported by Marc Espie as PR/233.
2459 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2461 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use at_times_file only if used.
2462 From Nicolas Joly.
2464 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2466 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp,
2467 * config/install-sh, config/mkinstalldirs, doc/standards.texi:
2468 Update from masters.
2470 2003-06-11 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
2472 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): Document AT_XFAIL_IF
2473 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_XFAIL_IF): New macro.
2474 (TEST_SCRIPT): New diversion.
2475 (AT_SETUP): Divert output to TEST_SCRIPT and move some code...
2476 (AT_CLEANUP): ...to here. Undivert TEST_SCRIPT.
2477 (AT_INIT): Support for expected failures.
2479 2003-06-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2481 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoheader.in: White space
2482 changes.
2483 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&backname): Remove, no longer used by
2484 Autoconf nor Automake.
2485 (&contents): New, from Automake.
2486 PODify.
2488 2003-05-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2490 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions),
2491 lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): Check that mktime
2492 is the inverse of localtime.
2494 2003-05-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2496 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Print diagnostics to STDERR.
2497 (handle_exec_errors): New function. Work around $! being
2498 altered by WEXITSTATUS.
2499 (xqx, xsystem): Use handle_exec_errors.
2501 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2503 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.
2504 Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
2505 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
2506 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
2507 63 for version mismatches.
2509 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2511 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
2512 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
2513 the middle of a line).
2514 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
2515 Remove useless spaces in comments.
2517 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2519 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an
2520 exit 63, so that we (or Automake's "missing") can tell the
2521 difference with a plain failure.
2522 * doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): Adjust.
2524 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2526 * Makefile.am, bin/Makefile.am, config/Makefile.am,
2527 * doc/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
2528 White spaces cleanup.
2530 2003-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2531 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2533 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
2534 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
2535 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
2536 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
2537 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
2538 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
2539 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
2540 Keith Bostic in
2541 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
2542 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
2543 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
2545 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2547 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
2548 From Ian Redfern.
2550 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
2552 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
2553 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
2554 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
2556 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
2557 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
2558 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
2559 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
2560 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
2561 at_suite_log when a test fails.
2562 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
2563 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
2564 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
2565 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
2566 its original place.
2567 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
2568 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
2569 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
2570 and stderr.
2572 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
2573 the name of the debugging directory and information about
2574 its contents.
2576 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
2578 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_REQUIRE): Actually use the 2nd
2579 parameter.
2581 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2583 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4, lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4

2643 AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): New tests.
2645 2003-05-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2647 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Use the default includes so that
2648 memcmp be declared before being tested.
2649 Reported by Sander Niemeijer.
2650 (AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_STRNLEN): Likewise.
2651 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Document
2652 AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
2654 2003-05-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2656 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4: Include signal.h and unistd.h.
2657 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Adjust.
2658 Reported by Werner LEMBERG and Debian Bug 190886.
2660 2003-05-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2662 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): s/FOO/as_foo/ to avoid
2663 user name space clashes.
2664 Reported by Bruno Haible.
2666 2003-05-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2668 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
2669 * bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in (BEGIN): Make
2670 them uniform, and more robust to Perl special characters.
2671 Reported by Martin Mokrejs.
2673 2003-05-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2675 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Skip all Libtools pre 1.4.
2677 2003-05-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2679 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h,

2684 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Improve the
2685 message.
2686 From Matthias Andree.

2691 and truncate.
2693 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2695 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
2696 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
2697 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
2698 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
2700 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.
2701 (&parse_args): Use --force with aclocal if required and supported.
2702 (&autoreconf_current_directory): Use &run_aclocal.

2706 Lock autom4te's cache.
2708 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm ($me, &name, &lock, &truncate, &seek): New.
2709 * bin/autom4te.in (&Request::save, &Request::load): Use an IO::File
2710 argument instead of a file name, so that the request file remains
2711 open during the whole autom4te run.
2712 ($icache_file): New.
2713 (&freeze): Lock the $icache_file.
2715 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2717 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
2718 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
2719 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
2720 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When
2721 grepping $at_help_all for keywords, use the field and keyword
2722 seperators to ensure a complete keyword match. Alter at_prev handling
2723 to support the new --keywords behavior.
2725 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2727 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
2728 align better with others. I also made some of the individual
2729 entries on one line, for brevity and to make it easier for me to
2730 sort my dir-example file in the Texinfo distribution :).
2732 2003-04-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2734 * NEWS: Mention the new macro.
2735 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_RESTRICT): New macro.
2736 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Describe AC_C_RESTRICT.
2737 * tests/c.at: Test AC_C_RESTRICT.

2752 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Some about sys/socket.h,

2765 2003-04-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2767 * doc/autoconf.texi (ac, at, ms): Rename these indexes as...
2768 (AC, AT, MS): these.
2769 (shortindexflag, @acindex, @ahindex, @asindex, @atindex, @msindex):
2770 New.
2771 Use them.
2772 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Adjust.
2773 (TEXI2DVI): Make it --batch.
2775 2003-03-31 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2777 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Revert the checkin from 2003-03-27
2778 which removed the main loop.
2779 Thanks to Akim Demaille.
2781 2003-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2783 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Skip OS/2's install,
2784 that starts a GUI.
2785 From Ilya Zakharevich.
2787 2003-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2789 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): The
2790 documentation to read is Autoconf's.
2791 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2793 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2795 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Suggest
2796 reading the section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" when the
2797 header causes problems.
2799 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2801 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Require aclocal
2802 1.4, otherwise the test fails, as it does support configure.ac.
2803 This fixes the "test 40 failed" bug reports.
2805 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2807 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): `#line' portability.
2808 From Paul Eggert and Nelson H. F. Beebe.
2810 2003-03-27 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2812 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Eliminate main loop and reorganize test
2813 layout in order to allow scripting around test groups.
2815 2003-03-27 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2817 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (PARSE_ARGS,PARSE_ARGS_END,HELP,HELP_MODES,
2818 HELP_TUNING,HELP_OTHER,HELP_END,PREPARE_TESTS,TESTS_END): Define and
2819 use new diversions in preparation for accepting new arguments and
2820 allowing scripting around tests.

2894 to cope with DOS-style absolute paths, when constructing
2895 ${ac_make}.
2897 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES):
2898 When constructing paths with IFS=:, quote the path. If we're
2899 constructing a DOS-style absolute path, we don't want to split it
2900 on the colon.
2902 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Fix typo
2903 in description.

2923 format starting with "-".
2925 2003-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2927 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): `foo=bar make -e'
2928 is not portable inside Makefile.
2930 2003-02-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2932 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): When
2933 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
2934 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
2935 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
2937 2003-02-20 Klee Dienes <kdienes@apple.com>

2950 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
2951 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
2952 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
2953 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
2954 gettimeofday and many other functions.
2956 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2958 Version 2.57.
2960 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
2962 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
2964 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
2965 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
2966 not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by
2967 Martin Frydl in
2968 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
2970 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
2971 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
2972 defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
2973 bug reported by Momchil Velkov in

2976 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty

3000 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): here.
3001 Require 1.7.1.
3003 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3005 Version 2.55.
3007 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/install-sh:
3008 Update from masters.
3010 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3012 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
3013 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
3014 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
3015 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
3016 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
3017 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for
3018 N_ and _.
3019 From Paul Eggert.
3021 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3023 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Compiling several files at once.
3024 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
3026 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3031 2002-11-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3033 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Initialize f=$1 rather
3034 than assigning in main, to avoid HP cc +O3 optimizing it away.
3036 2002-11-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3038 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q
3039 option. Process --recheck after parsing all options. Pass -q
3040 option to configure on --recheck.
3041 (AC_OUTPUT): Pass -q from configure to config.status.

3045 config.status -q option.
3047 2002-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

3072 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
3074 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3076 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
3077 Remove.
3078 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
3079 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
3080 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
3081 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
3082 otherwise available.])
3083 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
3084 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
3085 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
3086 was not compatible with Libtool.
3088 2002-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3090 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set the following variables,

3106 from...
3107 (&autoreconf): here.
3108 ($help, $make, &parse_args, &autoreconf_current_directory):
3109 Support -m/--make.
3110 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.

3128 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3130 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use and display
3131 `$(MAKE)' instead of '${MAKE}' to emphasize that we refer to the
3132 Make variable, not a shell variable.
3133 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
3135 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3137 * bin/autom4te.in (load_configuration): Reject #args out of any
3138 language.
3140 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3142 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_MSG_LOG_CONFTEST): New.

3154 Suggested by Tim van Holder.
3156 2002-10-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3158 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_MALLOC and
3159 AC_FUNC_REALLOC check for compatibility with glibc, not POSIX.
3160 Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
3162 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3164 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Put also in words what the
3165 pictures says to assist free style readers.
3166 (Customizing autom4te): s/--cache=/--cache /.
3168 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3170 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_VFORK): Include stdlib.h and
3171 sys/wait.h.
3172 sparc_address_test returns void.
3173 Use it with an argument, as prototyped.
3174 From Bruno Haible.
3176 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3191 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): Rename as...

3418 2002-10-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3420 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Don't check autoconf's stderr: there

3423 Quote for Perl '' strings, not "".
3424 * bin/autoheader.in: Invoke autoconf to get '' strings, not ""
3425 strings.
3427 2002-10-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3429 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_QUOTE): The warning about quoted

3477 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
3479 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'
3480 to frozen files in @ARGV, as @ARGV must remain being a list of

3483 (&freeze): Use &error.
3484 (&up_to_date): If a file that was included according to the cache
3485 is no longer there, then the output is out dated.

3487 --force is given.

3497 that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
3498 format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
3499 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
3500 if some file was changed instead of `print'.
3501 * bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.
3502 (&parse_args): Remove the dead options.

3535 file name to enable parallel executions.
3536 From Sam Varshavchik.
3538 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3540 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
3541 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to
3542 aclocal.
3543 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
3544 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
3545 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
3547 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3549 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
3550 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,
3551 but it's how Perl getopt works.
3552 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
3553 "permute", too.
3554 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):
3555 --warning -> --warnings.

3577 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
3578 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
3579 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
3580 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
3582 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3617 tests/autom4te itself.
3618 * lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
3619 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
3620 (autoscan.pre): New file.

3627 tracking changes in autoscan.list.
3628 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list (function): Strip comments, sort.
3630 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3646 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3651 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
3652 all.
3653 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
3654 explicit.
3656 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3658 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Remove.

3692 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Likewise.
3694 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3696 Single suffix rules and seperated dependencies are not portable.

3744 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
3746 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3771 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but

3777 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...

3797 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

3814 precious variables are.
3815 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
3817 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3819 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
3820 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
3821 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
3822 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
3823 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
3824 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
3826 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3828 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
3829 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
3831 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3833 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
3834 Automake 1.6c.
3835 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
3836 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
3838 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3840 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
3841 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
3842 Brinkmann.
3844 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3846 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
3847 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
3848 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
3850 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3852 Version 2.53c.
3854 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3856 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
3857 SITE_MACRO_DIR.
3858 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
3860 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3862 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
3863 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
3864 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
3866 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3868 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
3869 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
3871 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3873 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
3874 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
3875 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
3876 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
3878 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3880 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
3881 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
3882 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
3884 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
3886 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
3887 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
3888 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
3889 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
3890 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
3892 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
3893 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
3894 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
3896 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
3898 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
3899 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
3901 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
3902 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
3903 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
3904 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
3905 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
3906 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
3907 to shorten the output script.
3909 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3911 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
3912 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
3913 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
3914 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
3915 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
3916 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
3917 example, since the old example is now out of date.
3919 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
3920 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
3921 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
3922 spaghetti.
3924 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
3925 of rolling our own unset.
3926 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
3927 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
3929 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
3930 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
3931 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
3932 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
3933 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
3934 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
3936 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
3937 Update.
3939 * configure: Regenerate with self.
3941 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3943 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Notes on "cc"
3944 default output.
3946 2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
3948 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::load): Correctly test for "do" read
3949 failure.
3951 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3953 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
3954 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
3955 hand, which is not portable.
3956 (&error): New.
3957 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
3958 Use &error instead of die.
3959 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
3960 Adjust.
3962 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3964 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
3965 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
3966 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
3968 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3970 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
3971 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
3972 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
3973 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
3975 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
3977 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
3978 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
3979 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te
3980 --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
3981 use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
3982 * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
3983 arguments from each language section.
3985 2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3987 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
3989 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
3990 Replace with:
3991 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
3992 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
3993 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
3994 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
3996 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3998 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
3999 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
4000 `make -k'.
4002 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4004 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
4005 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.
4007 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4009 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE):
4010 Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002
4011 apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".".
4012 Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl.
4014 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4016 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the special
4017 handling of the obj/ directory by BSD make.

4033 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4035 Version 2.53b.
4037 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4039 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Update.
4041 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4043 Handle LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS once for all, including Libtool's and
4044 Automake's parts.

4050 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>,
4051 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4053 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Install

4069 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (find_file): Browse the directories in
4070 the order they are given.

4167 on Solaris 2.5.1.
4169 2002-06-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

4173 2002-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4175 * bin/autom4te.in ($cache): Don't define using `$me', the name
4176 of the cache should not depend on the name under which autom4te
4177 was installed.
4179 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4181 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)

4278 2002-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4280 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Work correctly even if
4281 the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff.
4282 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
4284 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4286 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
4287 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
4288 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
4289 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
4291 * NEWS: Document this.
4292 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
4294 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
4295 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
4296 not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
4297 reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior.
4298 Add new optional argument DIR.
4299 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro.
4301 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro.
4303 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4305 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
4306 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
4307 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
4308 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
4310 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
4311 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
4312 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
4313 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
4314 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
4315 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
4317 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
4318 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
4319 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
4320 textutils.
4321 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
4322 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
4323 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by
4324 Paul D. Smith.
4326 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4328 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
4329 autopoint instead of gettextize.
4330 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
4331 ($uses_aclocal): this.
4332 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
4333 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
4335 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4337 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_map_sep): New.
4339 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4341 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
4342 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
4343 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
4344 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
4346 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
4348 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
4349 under node "Limitations of Builtins".
4351 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4353 * doc/install.texi: Better wording for setting variables when
4354 running configure.
4355 From Christian Cornelssen.
4357 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4359 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
4360 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
4361 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
4362 course.
4363 Be sure to protect it.
4364 Reported by Patrick Welche.
4366 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4368 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
4369 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
4371 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4373 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
4374 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
4375 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
4376 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
4378 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4380 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.
4381 Thanks to Paul Eggert.
4383 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4385 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
4386 and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
4387 AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
4388 DEFAULT diversion.
4389 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
4390 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
4391 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the
4392 _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in
4393 _AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS.
4394 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
4396 2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4398 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after autoconf and
4399 autoheader, so that automake does not complain about a missing
4400 config.h.in that was to be created.
4402 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4404 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.
4405 Fixes PR/220.
4407 2002-04-22 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4409 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Remove gmon.out
4410 and bb.out when cleaning up.
4412 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4414 Version 2.53a.
4416 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4418 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Fix the Zsh skip pattern.
4420 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4422 * doc/autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Remove a spurious
4423 comma.
4424 Reported by Gregory Giannoni.
4426 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4428 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Skip the test if LINENO cannot be unset.
4429 Fixes false failures on Darwin.
4431 2002-04-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

4435 lib/autoconf/status.m4, lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, tests/m4sh.at,

4438 2002-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

4454 Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
4456 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
4457 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
4458 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
4459 all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate
4460 the manual now.
4462 Fix some bugs when using "$@" when there might be zero positional
4463 arguments in cases where this matters.

4483 * tests/c.at: We can't have zero arguments, so remove workaround
4484 that is not portable to Zsh.
4486 2002-04-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4488 * bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_macros): Honor AU_DEFUNs
4489 from aclocal.m4 too.
4491 2002-04-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4493 * tests/wrappl.as: New, M4sh precursor of wrappl.in.
4495 2002-04-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4497 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Install the Zsh
4498 workaround for ${1+"$@"}.
4499 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Explain it.
4500 From Oliver Kiddle and Peter Stephenson.
4502 Have M4sh perform minimal shell sanitizing.
4504 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.at (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Split the `_AS_PREPARE_*'
4505 part into...
4506 (_AS_PREPARE): this new macro.
4507 (AS_PREPARE): New.
4508 (AS_INIT): Invoke AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
4509 * tests/m4sh.at (AT_DATA_LINENO): Use _AS_PREPARE.
4511 Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
4513 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
4514 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
4515 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
4516 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
4517 Invoke _AS_PREPARE (not AS_PREPARE) in addition to
4518 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
4520 Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
4522 * tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
4523 * tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
4524 on Autotest and M4sh.
4525 ($(TESTSUITE)): Use $(autotest_m4f_dependencies).
4526 (wrapsh.in): New target.
4527 * bin/autoconf.as: New, precursor of autoconf.in.
4528 (autoconf.in): New target.
4530 2002-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>

4533 with indented comments in rules.
4535 2002-04-09 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4537 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Handle empty
4538 ac_top_builddir when setting ac_abs_top_builddir.
4540 2002-04-06 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4542 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Add link to Unix V7 online docs.
4543 (Portable Shell): Cross reference to Systemology.
4545 2002-04-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4547 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Be sure to accumulate the
4548 directories when descending in a SUBDIRS.
4549 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
4551 2002-04-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4553 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Only simplify if path
4554 contains no literal separators.
4556 2002-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4558 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER)
4559 (_AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_LINK): New.
4560 Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
4561 Extracted from...
4562 (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
4563 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
4564 Adjust.
4565 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
4566 results in failures being hidden.
4567 Use m4_defn where appropriate.
4568 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
4569 after the second argument.
4570 Use m4_defn.
4571 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
4572 syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.
4573 * tests/torture.at (Multiple AC_CONFIG_FILES): New.
4575 2002-04-03 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4577 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_bmatch): Make sure m4_bregexp is not
4578 expanded if $# <= 2.
4580 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after rerunning
4581 aclocal.
4583 2002-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4585 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT_REJECT)

4587 Also recognize *.bb and *.bbg as compilation byproducts.
4588 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT, _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O)
4589 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): Use them.
4590 Fixes Debian #138666.
4592 2002-04-02 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4594 Integrate AC_PROG_CC_STDC into AC_PROG_CC.
4596 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Rename to _AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
4597 AU_DEFUN old name. Use _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
4598 (AC_PROG_CC): Call _AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
4599 (AC_C_INLINE): Do not require AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
4600 (AC_C_CONST): Same.
4601 (AC_C_INLINE): Same.
4602 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Same. Require AC_PROG_CC instead.
4603 * doc/autoconf.texi, NEWS: Document.
4604 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_list): Add AC_PROG_CC_STDC and
4605 AC_C_CROSS.

4609 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Invoke
4610 _AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE.
4612 2002-03-28 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4614 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Test with a typedef return value,
4615 to avoid versions of HP C which don't allow that.
4617 2002-03-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4619 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.
4620 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Invoke it.
4621 (AS_BASENAME): AS_REQUIRE it, and use $as_basename.

4625 * doc/autoconf.texi (Portable Shell): Add pointers to FAQs.
4627 2002-03-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4629 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): The GNATS base moved.
4631 2002-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4633 * tests/m4sh.at: Don't rely on "PATH=test:$PATH test-1" working
4634 as POSIX requires, as it doesn't work with Zsh.
4635 * doc/autoconf.texi (Assignments): Document the problem.
4637 2002-03-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4639 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
4640 about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
4641 SHELL.
4643 2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4645 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
4646 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
4648 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
4649 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
4650 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.
4652 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4654 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): s/unknow/unknown/.
4655 From Aaron Ucko.
4657 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4659 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Specify the location in `&used'
4660 invocations.
4661 From Nicolas Joly.
4663 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4665 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust @code/@command, @xref/@ref usage.
4666 From Nishio Futoshi.
4668 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4670 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_define_default, m4_fst, m4_map): New.
4672 2002-03-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4674 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Add AS_MKDIR_P.
4675 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
4677 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
4678 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
4679 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
4680 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
4681 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
4682 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
4684 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
4685 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
4686 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
4687 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
4688 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
4690 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4692 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
4693 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
4694 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
4695 says 'times: not found'.
4697 2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4699 * bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
4700 (&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.
4701 Rerun aclocal if needed.
4702 Suggested by Andreas Schwab.
4704 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4706 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): More about IFS.
4708 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4710 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): New.
4711 Add information about stdint.h and inttypes.h from Paul Eggert.
4713 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4715 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about `cp
4716 -p'.
4717 From Bob Proulx.
4719 2002-03-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4721 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): AS_REQUIRE, not
4722 m4_require.
4724 2002-03-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4726 * configure.ac: Explicitly check for EMACS since AM_PATH_LISPDIR
4727 does not do it if --with-lispdir is given.
4729 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4731 Version 2.53.
4733 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4735 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Clarify that the
4736 subdirectory should exist.
4738 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4740 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.6.
4742 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4744 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
4745 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
4746 affect the latter.
4748 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4750 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
4751 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
4753 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4755 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,
4756 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
4757 * bin/ifnames.in: Copyright update.
4759 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4761 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): New.
4763 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4765 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Clarification suggested by
4766 Kevin Ryde.
4768 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4770 Version 2.52i.
4772 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4774 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS): New.
4775 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INIT): More informative error
4776 message for LIBOBJ.
4778 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4780 * lib/freeze.mk ($(build_libdir)/m4sugar/version.m4): New, for
4781 parallel builds.
4783 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4785 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
4786 and host is irrelevant.
4787 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
4788 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
4789 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
4790 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
4791 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
4792 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
4794 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4796 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
4797 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
4798 useless.
4799 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
4800 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
4801 evaluation is the current item.
4802 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
4804 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4806 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
4807 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
4809 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
4810 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
4811 the last...
4812 (m4_lquote): New.
4813 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
4814 efficient.
4815 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
4816 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
4817 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
4818 (m4_cdr): New.
4819 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
4820 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
4821 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
4823 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4825 * doc/autoconf.texi (Changequote is Evil): New.
4827 2002-03-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4829 * doc/autoconf.texi (Portable Shell): Mention 32-byte #! length limit
4830 on old systems like SunOS.

4837 lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/status.m4: Improve spelling
4838 of messages.
4840 2002-02-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4842 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Suggest a title to the
4843 message to be sent.
4845 2002-02-28 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4847 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add va_copy and va_list.
4849 2002-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4851 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): Fix the test.
4852 From Akinori Musha.
4854 2002-02-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4856 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (getline, getlines): New functions,
4857 translate \r\n to \n.
4859 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4861 Version 2.52h.
4863 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4865 Fix Autoconf PR/209.
4866 Also reported by Frank Denis.
4868 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Don't over quote.
4870 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4872 Fix Autoconf PR/207:
4873 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
4875 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
4876 variable when looking for the prefix program.
4877 Now it also works for shell variables.
4879 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4881 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): More about
4882 case/esac.
4884 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4886 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Don't output empty
4887 case/esac, some shells don't support it.
4888 Reported by Zack Weinberg.
4889 * tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS with empty commands): New.
4891 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4893 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): When handling --keywords, be
4894 sure not to introduce newlines in at_groups.
4895 * lib/autotest/Makefile.am (autotest.m4f): Typo.
4897 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4899 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Skip if aclocal
4900 is not available.
4902 2002-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4904 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specific Compiler Characteristics):
4905 Describe HP-UX cc bug workaround more accurately.
4906 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast to long,
4907 not unsigned long.
4908 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Check non-GCC
4909 cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
4910 to this file.
4912 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4914 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,
4915 to make sure they are up to date when `check' is run.
4917 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4919 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Document
4920 package.m4.
4922 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4924 * lib/freeze.mk: New.
4926 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4928 Implement `autom4te --freeze'.
4930 * bin/autom4te.in (&freeze): New.
4931 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4, lib/autotest/general.m4,
4932 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Don't include files given by autom4te.
4934 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4936 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Implement `frozen files are
4937 optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
4938 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
4939 (handle_m4): don't.
4940 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
4941 (M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
4942 (Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.
4944 2002-01-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4946 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Accept $4.
4947 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Adjust.
4949 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4951 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Map non
4952 alphanumeric to `-' instead of `_'.
4954 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4956 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Split into two tests: one
4957 for plain code, the other for cross-compilation code. The latter
4958 is now run with GCC only.
4959 * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors): New.
4961 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4963 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Support pre-defined
4964 values.
4965 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Explain how to
4966 change AC_INIT default values.
4968 2002-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4970 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use configure.in,
4971 so that aclocal 1.4 works.
4972 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz and Larry Schmitt.
4974 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4976 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
4977 needs an argument.
4979 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4981 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
4982 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
4983 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
4984 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
4985 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
4986 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
4987 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
4988 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
4989 useless.
4990 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.
4992 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4994 Version 2.52g.
4996 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4998 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
4999 * doc/autoconf.texi: Finally add Akim as an author.
5001 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5003 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.
5004 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Don't expect $SHELL to be
5005 Bourne. Use /bin/sh.
5006 From Andreas Buening.
5008 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5010 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:
5011 Update from masters.
5013 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5015 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.5b.
5016 * config/auxdir.m4, config/cond.m4, config/depend.m4,
5017 * config/init.m4, config/install-sh.m4, config/lispdir.m4,
5018 * config/missing.m4, config/sanity.m4, config/select.m4,
5019 * config/strip.m4: Remove, to ease sync'ing with any version of
5020 Automake.
5022 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5024 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS)
5025 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Support -n as --no-create, as documented.
5026 Reported by Geir Ove Myhr.
5028 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5030 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): #Undef malloc.
5032 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5034 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Use a more GNUish error
5035 message on invalid options.
5036 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't use
5037 Autoconf::General::getopt with non valid options.
5039 2002-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
5041 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Initialize
5042 $ac_cv_exeext so we don't use an old, invalid, cached value.
5044 2002-01-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5046 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRNLEN): New, from Jim
5047 Meyering.
5048 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Document the strnlen
5049 limitation.

5051 * lib/autoscan/functions: Adjust.
5053 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5055 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
5056 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
5057 configure.
5058 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
5059 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
5060 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
5062 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5064 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the AC_SUBST
5065 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
5066 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
5067 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
5068 arguments.
5069 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
5070 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
5071 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
5072 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
5073 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
5075 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5077 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Use `&used'.
5079 2002-01-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5081 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Improved wording regarding use of
5082 AC_OUTPUT.
5083 From Olly Betts.
5085 2001-12-18 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
5087 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on sscanf
5088 sometimes needing writable input.
5090 2001-12-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
5092 * doc/autoconf.texi (New Macros): Tweak wording.
5094 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5096 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
5097 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
5098 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
5099 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
5101 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
5103 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.
5105 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5107 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
5109 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
5111 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename buildpath to
5112 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
5113 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.
5114 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
5115 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi, lib/autoconf/autotest.m4,
5116 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/autoreconf.in, tests/tools.at,
5117 * tests/wrappl.in, tests/wrapsh.in: Adjust.
5119 2001-12-12 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
5121 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT): Fix failed
5122 C/Fortran linking on HP/UX, by extracting the Fortran library
5123 search path from the LPATH line in the $F77 -v output.
5125 2001-12-12 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
5127 * doc/autoconf.texi (File Descriptors): Use a clearer layout for the
5128 forbidden file descriptors table.
5130 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5132 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Build it at top level.
5133 Map to 1 in order to simplify its uses.
5135 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5137 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
5138 Remove $filepath, useless.
5139 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
5140 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
5141 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
5142 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
5143 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
5144 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
5145 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
5147 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5149 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
5150 Remove, replaced by...
5151 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
5152 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
5153 * configure.ac: Adjust.
5154 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
5156 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5158 * bin/autoscan.in (used): New.
5159 Use it.
5161 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5163 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file): Better parsing of CPP
5164 directives.

5172 Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
5173 comment made the whole line be ignored.
5175 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5177 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
5178 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.
5179 (Autotest Logs): New.
5181 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5183 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
5185 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
5186 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
5187 at_top_builddir.
5188 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
5189 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
5190 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
5191 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
5193 2001-11-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
5195 * doc/autoconf.texi, TODO, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
5196 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/headers.m4,
5197 tests/atgeneral.m4, tests/tools.at, tests/atspecific.m4: Fix
5198 spelling errors.
5200 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5202 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
5203 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
5205 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5207 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
5208 spotted by Jim Meyering.
5210 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5212 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
5214 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
5215 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
5216 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
5217 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
5218 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
5219 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
5220 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
5221 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
5222 * NEWS: Likewise.
5224 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5226 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
5227 hand.
5228 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
5230 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5232 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
5233 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
5235 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5237 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
5238 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
5239 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
5240 option.
5241 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
5242 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
5243 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
5244 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
5245 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
5246 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
5248 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5250 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
5251 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
5252 configure.ac.
5253 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
5255 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5257 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
5258 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
5259 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
5260 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
5261 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
5262 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
5264 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5266 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
5267 in PATH.
5268 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
5269 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
5270 suite.
5271 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
5273 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5275 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
5276 in place.
5278 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5280 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
5281 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
5283 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
5284 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
5285 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
5286 (AT_INIT): Adjust.
5287 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
5288 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
5290 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5292 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
5293 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
5294 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
5296 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
5297 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
5298 are new variables.
5299 Create the directories.
5300 Use absolute paths for at- files.
5301 (AT_CHECK): Adjust.
5303 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
5305 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
5306 (m4_car2): New.
5307 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
5309 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5311 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
5312 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
5314 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5316 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
5317 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
5318 __PROTOTYPES too.
5320 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5322 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
5324 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5326 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
5327 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
5328 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
5329 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
5330 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
5331 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
5333 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5335 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
5336 From Jim Meyering.
5338 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5340 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
5341 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
5342 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
5343 `missing' itself contains variables.
5345 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5347 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
5348 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
5349 the test suites.
5351 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5353 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
5354 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
5355 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
5356 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
5357 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
5359 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5361 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
5362 processed only if present.
5363 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
5364 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
5365 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
5366 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
5368 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
5370 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
5371 doesn't accept .S files.
5373 2001-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5375 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_pattern_forbid): Accepts $2.
5376 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INTI): Forbid LIBOBJS.
5377 (_AC_LIBOBJ): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/.
5378 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): New.
5379 (handle_output): Use it.
5380 Read m4_pattern_forbid with messages.
5382 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5384 * bin/autom4te.in (--normalize): Remove.
5385 * lib/autom4te.in: Adjust.
5387 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5389 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Rename this target as...
5390 ($(TESTSUITE)): this.
5391 From Nicolas Joly.
5393 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5395 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
5396 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
5398 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5400 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Update.
5401 (Writing testsuite.at): Update.
5403 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5405 * doc/autoconf.texi: s/@code/@command/ where appropriate.
5407 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5409 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: (&catfile, &canonfile)
5410 (&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
5411 File::Spec.
5412 Use and export them.
5413 (&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
5414 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
5415 the arguments.
5416 Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
5417 (&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
5418 Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
5419 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
5421 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5423 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
5424 (@export_forward_subs): New.
5425 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
5426 (@EXPORT): Adjust.
5427 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
5428 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
5429 used.
5430 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
5431 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
5433 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5435 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
5436 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
5437 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
5438 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
5440 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5442 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
5444 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5446 Version 2.52f.
5448 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5450 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
5451 * config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
5452 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
5454 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5456 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
5457 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
5458 From Ezra Peisach.
5459 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
5461 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5463 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
5464 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
5465 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
5466 than character ranges.
5468 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
5469 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
5470 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
5471 behavior.
5472 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
5474 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5476 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
5477 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
5479 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
5480 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
5481 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
5482 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
5483 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
5484 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
5485 output and chmod failures.
5487 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
5488 the above.
5490 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5492 * tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
5493 handles it now.
5495 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5497 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
5498 AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
5499 provided, while it is optional.
5500 * configure.ac: Adjust.
5502 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5504 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
5505 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
5506 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
5507 with 5.005_02.
5509 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
5510 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
5512 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
5513 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
5514 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
5516 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5518 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.
5520 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5522 * m4/: Remove, merged into...
5523 * config/: here.
5525 2001-10-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5527 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the problems with bash
5528 2.05's use of ANSI quoting in its `set' builtin.
5530 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5532 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
5533 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
5534 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
5535 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
5536 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
5537 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
5539 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
5540 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
5541 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
5543 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
5545 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5547 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of
5548 the executable was missing from the log.
5550 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5552 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): If destination is
5553 unchanged, remove the source.
5554 (&up_to_date_p): Don't be verbose, be debug.
5555 * bin/autoreconf.in: No longer support --m4dir.
5556 (&autoreconf): Display the full path of the configure.ac we are
5557 studying.
5558 Trace it only once.
5559 Be sure to honor --force with gettextize.
5560 Always run aclocal.
5561 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
5563 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5565 * bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
5566 Remove, dead.
5567 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
5568 `intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
5569 (&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
5570 options.
5571 ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
5572 (@include): New.
5573 (&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
5575 2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <petersen@redhat.com>
5577 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.

5587 2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5589 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: In a
5590 comment, explain how to install automatic mode selection.
5591 From Russ Allbery.
5593 2001-10-19 Ezra Peisach <epeisach@zif.mit.edu>
5595 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Display the path to the
5596 configure.ac being studied.
5598 2001-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5600 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast sizeof to unsigned
5601 long, to work around a bug in the HP C compiler version HP92453-01
5602 B.11.11.23709.GP.
5604 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works.
5605 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.
5606 (AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics.
5607 (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
5608 and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
5609 AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
5610 (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
5611 contains white space.
5612 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
5613 Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
5614 * tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
5615 Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows
5616 either behavior.
5618 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5620 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Recognize
5621 `a_out.exe' for OpenVMS 7.1, DEC C 5.5 compiler, via GNV.
5622 From Eric Sharkey.

5626 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): m4_defun, not

5671 * bin/autoreconf.in: Rewrite in Perl.
5672 * configure.ac: Adjust.

5723 Use `add-log-current-defun-function' for ChangeLog creation.
5724 Suggested by Tom Tromey.
5726 * lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el (autotest-mode-map): New.
5727 (autotest-mode): Adjust.
5728 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el (autoconf-mode-map): Modernize, map
5729 'comment-region onto `C-c ;'.
5730 Comments are `#', not `dnl'.
5731 (autoconf-current-defun): New.
5732 (autoconf-font-lock-keywords): Recognize `m4_defun'.
5734 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5736 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_m4_divert(BODY)): Move to...

5740 (AT_INIT): Replace AC_PLAIN_SCRIPT with AS_INIT invocation,
5741 include handle the m4_pattern_*, no longer push the

5752 CONFIG_SHELL defaults to a shell that supports LINENO if available.
5754 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): If the current

5756 empty, and if we can find a shell that does support LINENO,
5757 then set CONFIG_SHELL to that shell and then re-execute
5758 ourselves with CONFIG_SHELL.
5760 2001-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5762 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Don't invoke $(TESTSUITE) if it
5763 doesn't exist. Remove *.tmp, as a .tmp file is created during the
5764 build of $(TESTSUITE).

5786 2001-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5788 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): New, extracted from...
5789 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): here. Use it.
5790 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Preserve the exit status of $0.lineno.
5791 From Paul Eggert.
5793 2001-10-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5795 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use a portable
5796 combination of Awk and sed to replace $LINENO.
5798 2001-10-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5800 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): You can't use
5801 "source"; it's not portable. Remove confusing and
5802 somewhat-incorrect example involving "." and "/".
5804 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): "source" -> ".", for
5805 compatibility with POSIX shells.
5807 2001-10-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5809 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Just source 40.lineno
5810 instead of exec'ing to preserve $0 and $@.
5812 2001-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5814 * tests/testsuite (AT_INIT) <at_pass_list>: New.

5833 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS):
5834 Don't use nested parenthesization. This patch was originally
5835 suggested to bug-autoconf by Philippe De Muyter on 2000-05-28,
5836 but somehow it didn't get incorporated then.
5837 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
5838 Clarify remark about sed and nested parenthesization.
5840 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF):
5841 Report an error if the size cannot be determined even though
5842 the type exists.

5844 Check for `expr' arithmetic overflow, and for compilation failure,
5845 and invoke a new argument $4 if either is discovered.
5846 This makes _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE more like _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
5847 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Pass IF-FAILS arg to _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE.
5849 2001-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5878 (Broken/missing compilers, AC_PROG_CPP with warnings)
5879 (AC_PROG_CPP without warnings, AC_PROG_CPP via CC)
5880 (AC_PROG_CPP requires AC_PROG_CC): here and...
5881 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.
5882 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
5883 AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.
5884 (Test Programs): AC_TRY_RUN works as used to be advertised.
5886 2001-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5888 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix bugs spotted by
5889 Raja R Harinath:
5890 Be sure to detect when $LINENO always returns the same value.
5891 Look for the original script, basename($0) is certainly not
5892 enough.
5893 Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.
5895 2001-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5897 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Dump the whole config.log.
5898 Be sure the close and reopen the LOG fd before and after using tee

5902 2001-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5904 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): There can be several invocations
5905 of --language now.
5907 2001-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5909 * doc/autoconf.texi (Top): Wrap in @ifnottex.
5911 2001-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5913 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Compute and provide
5914 ac_buildpath, ac_top_buildpath, ac_srcpath, and ac_top_srcpath.
5915 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Also substitute srcpath, top_srcpath,
5916 builddir, buildpath, top_builddir, and top_buildpath.
5917 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Compute the dir variables *before* changing
5918 the current directory.
5919 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Compute the dir

5921 Skip nonexistent dirs.
5922 * doc/autoconf.texi (Preset Output Variables): Document these
5923 variables.
5925 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Do not reset AT_victims.
5926 Don't compute at_srcdir nor at_top_srcdir.
5928 * tests/tools.at: Hence use top_srcdir.
5930 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader,
5931 * tests/autom4te, tests/autoreconf, tests/autoupdate, tests/ifnames:
5932 Remove.

5943 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): Rename as...
5944 (Programming in M4sh): this.

5978 to match current versions from CVS Automake.
5980 2001-09-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>

5985 2001-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5987 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4: Create `package.m4'.
5988 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): Remove.
5990 2001-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5992 Rely on `$LINENO' when possible instead of `__oline__'.
5994 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Provide some form of
5995 `$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
5996 (_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke
5997 them explicitly to be sure they are not output before this section
5998 (via m4_require). Cosmetic only.
5999 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
6000 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Replace all the occurrences of
6001 `__oline__' with `$LINENO'.
6002 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document LINENO.
6004 2001-09-21 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6006 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FORK): Replaceded an 8-bit
6007 character (u: -> ue) in a code comment.
6008 (AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK): Only run 'ln -s' if we know
6009 it works.
6011 2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6013 * Makefile.maint (AUTOM4TE): Neutralize autom4te.
6014 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
6016 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6018 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Use extensions listed in

6026 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Default CDPATH to $PATH_SEPARATOR, not ':'.
6028 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

6031 PATH_SEPARATOR.
6032 (Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.
6033 (Special Shell Variables[CDPATH]): Mention that $PATH_SEPRATOR should
6034 be used instead of ':'.
6035 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Replace occurrences of ':' in
6036 AUTOTEST_PATH with $PATH_SEPARATOR at test suite startup.
6038 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6040 * tests/atgeneral.m4: Add basic support for test ranges (e.g. 7-34) as
6041 arguments. Fixed a typo.
6043 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6045 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not ':' to set up
6046 $PATH. Also set AUTOM4TE_CFG, so we can process autom4te properly.
6048 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6050 * bin/autoscan.in: Add 'exec-perl-if-not-run-by-perl'.

6057 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6059 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (open): Simplified the error message (we
6060 already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
6061 CR issues on DOSish systems).
6063 2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6065 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
6066 From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
6068 2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6070 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
6071 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
6072 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
6073 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
6075 * lib/autoconf/c.m4:
6076 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
6078 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
6079 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
6080 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
6082 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
6083 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
6084 to getpgrp.
6086 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
6087 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
6088 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
6089 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
6090 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
6092 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6094 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.
6096 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6102 2001-09-18 Paul Wagland <paul@wagland.net>
6104 * tests/m4sh.at: Ensure that AS_DIRNAME handles '/', '//' and '///'
6105 correctly.
6106 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
6107 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
6108 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
6109 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
6110 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
6111 one line out...
6112 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
6113 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
6115 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6117 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
6118 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
6119 This also solves the name clash problems.
6120 Don't set the package's ID.
6121 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
6122 No longer to be shipped.
6123 (version.in): Remove.
6124 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
6125 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.
6126 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
6127 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
6128 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
6129 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
6130 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
6131 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
6132 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.
6134 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6136 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Preselect AM_CONDITIONAL,
6137 AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.
6138 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't abort when a tested
6139 program version string doesn't match the package's.
6140 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Reestablish the space
6141 after `(cached)'.
6143 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6145 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
6146 Allow expression to return any value that can fit into unsigned long
6147 (not int, as before). Check for output errors.
6149 2001-09-17 Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>
6151 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
6152 Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
6153 the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
6154 fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
6155 Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
6157 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6159 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
6160 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
6161 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
6162 when they don't exist.
6164 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
6165 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
6166 need it.
6168 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
6169 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
6170 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
6171 we don't need it.
6173 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
6175 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6177 * tests/base.at, tests/m4sh.at: Be sure to issue the bangshe line
6178 _first_.
6179 Reported by Gerrit P. Haase.
6181 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6183 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Reset `AT_victims' so that

6197 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Use it.
6198 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_SAVE): Use m4_match.
6199 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER, AC_CONFIG_LINKS):
6200 Likewise.
6201 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_REPLACEMENT_TYPE_P)
6202 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_MAYBE_TYPE_P, AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Likewise.
6203 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Rename AT_TESTS_ALL as
6204 AT_tests_all for consistency.
6205 Set at_victims.
6206 (AT_VICTIMS): Similar to AT_KEYWORDS.
6207 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE_IF): Use m4_match and m4_re_escape.
6209 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6211 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Fix stupid bugs.
6213 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6215 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
6216 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple
6217 test suites can cohabit.
6219 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6221 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
6223 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6225 Test suites can be run independently of configure.
6227 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO, _AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): New.
6228 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_ECHO): Remove.
6229 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust: AC_SUBST
6230 ECHO_N etc.

6306 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Stop displaying srcdir everywhere as,

6321 From Uwe Seimet.

6327 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6329 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
6330 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
6332 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
6333 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
6335 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
6336 the wrong one.
6338 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to
6339 4m.
6341 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6343 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: New lib file.

6361 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6365 * bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros):
6366 New, extracted from main.
6367 Use IO::File wherever possible.
6368 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
6369 Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
6370 Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
6371 `unm4.m4'.
6373 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6375 Version 2.52d.
6377 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6398 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6400 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
6401 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
6402 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
6404 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6406 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
6407 inverse order.
6409 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6411 * bin/autoupdate.in (@include): `installcheck' revealed the path
6412 to m4sugar was lacking!
6414 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6416 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass
6417 autom4te_perllibdir.
6419 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6421 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to
6422 debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to
6423 run is stupid.
6425 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6427 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from `@include'.
6428 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
6429 Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.
6430 * tests/autoupdate: $top_srcdir/lib is needed too for melt files.
6432 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6445 need for autoconf.
6446 Promote --include over --macrodir and other obsolete options.

6452 * bin/autom4te.in ($autoconf): Pass --force.
6453 `print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
6454 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
6455 (autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
6456 the time stamps.
6457 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
6459 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6461 * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.

6470 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
6471 Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
6472 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
6473 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
6474 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
6476 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6478 * bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.
6479 * tests/autoheader: Adjust.
6481 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6483 * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
6484 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
6485 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
6486 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
6487 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
6488 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
6489 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.

6491 * tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
6493 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6496 * bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
6497 optionally `FILE'.
6498 Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
6499 (&parse_args): Adjust.
6500 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
6502 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6504 * configure.ac: Also find tested executables in bin.
6505 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
6506 * bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
6507 installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
6508 Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
6509 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
6510 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
6511 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
6512 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
6513 find the executables for it.
6514 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
6515 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
6516 We only need PERL.
6517 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
6518 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
6519 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
6520 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
6521 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
6522 * tests/autoscan: New.
6523 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
6524 refer to library files: rely on --language.
6526 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6528 * bin/autom4te.in, lib/autom4te.in, bin/autoconf.in:

6539 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): s/@__@/@&t@/.
6540 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
6542 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6544 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
6545 download in a tmp dir.
6547 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6549 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
6550 case insensitive OSes out there :(

6566 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6568 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use
6569 foo=`(command) 2>/dev/null`
6570 not
6571 foo=`command` 2>/dev/null
6572 (at-devnull): Rename as...
6573 (AT-devnull): this.
6574 (--clean): Remove AT-* files too.
6575 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document `date'.
6576 Reported by Nicolas Joly.

6719 * bin/autoupdate.in: Distinguish M4sugar vs. Autoconf macros by
6720 the name of the directory they're in, instead of the filename,
6721 since version.m4 is now in m4sugar, but m4_acversion must not be
6722 classified as an Autoconf macro.
6723 ($input_m4): Don't qualify the path to m4sugar.
6724 Rather, pass autoconf_dir to m4.
6725 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Remove -I top_srcdir, unneeded.

6803 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Prepare the cross-compile

6807 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6809 * ChangeLog, ChangeLog.0, ChangeLog.1, ChangeLog.2, AUTHORS, BUGS,
6810 * NEWS, README, README-alpha, TODO, tests/README: This package is
6811 `Autoconf', not `autoconf' (the executable).
6813 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6815 Info readers seem to need `Index' in the index node title :(
6817 * doc/autoconf.texi: Reverse the 2001-08-15 change which
6818 simplified index node names.
6820 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6862 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6864 Huh!?!?! There are still some user EOF tags used, which prevents
6865 their use in AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS for instance...
6867 * lib/autoconf/general.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
6868 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Rename the EOF tags as `_ACEOF',

6929 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6931 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Refer to `$as_me.log', not
6932 `$0.log' as for projects where testsuite is in src, we'd have
6933 testsuite.log created in src.
6935 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6937 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Recognize --normalize.

6947 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6949 * doc/autoconf.texi: Work around Texinfo buglets.
6950 (Transformation Rules): One example is enough, users are expected
6951 to have their brains on. And BTW, use DESTDIR.
6952 (dvar): New macro. Use it.
6954 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6956 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at) <AT_CHECK>: Complete.
6957 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use the relative dir when

6963 * bin/autoconf.in: Use it.

6973 start, not at end.
6975 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6989 * doc/install.texi: Use @command.
6990 (Environment Variables): Rename as...

6993 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6995 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): sprintf's return
6996 value.
6997 From Kevin Ryde.
6999 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7001 * Makefile.maint (CVS): New.
7002 (local-check): Run changelog-check. last.
7003 (alpha): Don't depend upon local-check, since...
7004 (cvs-dist): depends upon it.
7006 2001-08-15 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
7008 * tests/Makefile.am: Use a clean-local rule to remove
7009 autom4te.cache (it's a directory, not a file.
7010 * Makefile.am: Ditto (but maintainer-clean-local).
7012 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7014 * bin/autom4te.in (@m4_warning): New.
7015 (&handle_m4): Use it.
7016 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn): Pass `-f' to autom4te to ensure the
7017 warnings are issued at each run.
7018 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): M4sugar
7019 is in the src tree.
7021 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7023 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Perl is now required:
7024 don't waste time running `autoupdate --version' works.
7025 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Likewise.
7027 2001-08-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

7080 * tests/mktests.sh: Update year in copyright notice.
7082 2001-08-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7084 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
7086 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7088 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
7089 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
7090 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
7091 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
7093 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7095 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
7096 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
7097 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
7099 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7101 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
7102 effects.
7103 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
7105 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
7107 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
7108 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
7110 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
7112 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
7113 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
7115 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7117 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
7119 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7121 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
7122 removed.
7123 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
7124 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
7125 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
7126 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
7127 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
7129 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7131 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
7132 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
7133 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
7135 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
7136 Dump information on the first run of each test.
7137 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
7138 test group.
7140 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7142 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
7143 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
7144 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
7145 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
7147 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
7148 does not like `' instead of [].
7149 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
7150 And don't output such tokens.
7151 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
7152 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
7153 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
7154 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
7155 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
7156 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
7158 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7160 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
7162 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7164 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
7166 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7168 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
7169 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
