3 Version 2.57e.
5 * config/mkinstalldirs: Upgrade.
7 2003-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
9 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set DUALCASE=1, for MKS sh.
10 Problem reported by Lars J. Aas in
11 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-07/msg00042.html>.
12 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): Change "rm -fr ./-p" to the more-conservative
13 "test -d ./-p && rmdir ./-p". Suggested by Andreas Schwab in:
14 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-09/msg00039.html
16 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
18 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
19 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
20 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
21 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
22 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
24 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
26 * bin/autoscan.in (Autom4te::FileUtils): Use it for find_file.
27 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
29 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
31 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Don't overquote the
32 arguments.
33 Actually, use AU_ALIAS.
34 From Bruno Haible.
36 2003-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
38 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): If mkdir -p . fails,
39 rm -fr ./-p to remove junk left behind on NextStep and OpenStep.
40 Problem reported by Eric Sunshine in:
41 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2002-12/msg00014.html
43 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
45 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
46 Reported by Henk Krus.
47 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
49 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
50 AT_help_all.
51 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
52 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
53 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
54 (AT_INIT): here.
55 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...
56 (at_times_p): this.
57 (AT_INIT): When summarizing the test that ran, remove
58 $at_times_file after use, and check it is present before trying to
59 use it.
61 2003-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
63 Version 2.57d.
65 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Handle '@configure_input@'.
66 (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf, autoscan, autoupdate)
67 (ifnames): chmod -w.
68 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
69 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
70 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
71 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
72 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
73 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
74 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
75 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a
76 -w file.
77 * config/install-sh: Upgrade from CVS Automake.
79 2003-09-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
81 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Document test -h
82 versus test -L issues.
84 2003-09-23 Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@mvista.com> and
85 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
87 Trivial change to support GCC's configuration procedure.
88 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR): New macro.
89 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Don't warn
90 about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for
91 any warning.
92 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Document this.
94 2003-09-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

110 2003-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
112 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): Promote linux/types.h,
113 not asm/types.h.
115 2003-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
117 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): linux/random.h.
118 From Peter Hendrickson.
120 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

127 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): Also exercise AC_FC_SRCEXT
128 and AC_FC_FREEFORM.
129 * tests/mktests.sh: Skip AC_FC_SRCEXT.
130 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM): Likewise.
132 2003-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
134 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&update_file): s/cannot not/cannot/g.
135 Reported by Gary Vaughan.
136 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_m4): Likewise.
138 2003-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
140 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&update_file): Be sure not to leave
141 trailing files.
143 2003-09-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
145 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS):
146 Improve the accuracy of the wording about obsolescence.
147 From a suggestion by Ian Lance Taylor in
148 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-09/msg00044.html>.
150 2003-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
152 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Try -ffree-form too,
153 for the benefit of g77 3.2. Fix suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
155 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
157 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Fix the filtering of
158 AC_FUNC_WAIT3.
160 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
162 * bin/autom4te.in: Use &fatal where more appropriate than &error.
163 (freeze): When exiting, use $exit_code.
164 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4: Comment changes.
166 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
168 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Add AC_FC_FUNC.
170 2003-09-02 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
172 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
173 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
174 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
175 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
176 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
177 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
178 AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.
180 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX(C), _AC_LANG_PREFIX(C++)):
181 New macros.
182 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Invoke _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_FC_HOOKS if defined.

193 _AC_FC_WRAPPERS, AC_FC_WRAPPERS, _AC_FC_FUNC, AC_FC_FUNC,
194 AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM):
195 New macros.

205 2003-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
207 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make):
208 Document problems with timestamp resolution that 'make', 'cp -p', and
209 'touch -r' have.
211 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
213 * tests/m4sugar.at (cross_warning): Make sure to enable the
214 output, so that we can track spurious m4sugar output.
215 * tests/local.at: Require 2.57.
216 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't m4_default the arguments that
217 are defaulted by AT_CHECK anyway.
218 Use AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE.
219 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: There should be no output at all: add a
220 missing dnl.
222 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
224 * bin/autoheader.in: Issue the "Using auxiliary..." message only
225 when -Wobsolete is set.
226 Set it on by default.
227 Suggested by Klee Dienes.
229 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
231 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): More
232 documentation.

276 Replace the former...
277 (m4_warn): Pass the call stack to _m4_warn.
278 * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust to output the call stack.
279 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Adjust.
281 2003-08-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
283 * lib/Autom4te/Request.pm, lib/Autom4te/C4che.pm: New.
284 * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust.
286 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
288 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&file_name_is_absolute): Remove.
289 (&verbose): Remove.
290 (&getopt): Adjust the note and verb channels, depending upon
291 --verbose.
292 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in,
293 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust.
294 Use &verb, not &verbose.
296 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
298 * bin/autoheader.in (&parse_args): Use &parse_warnings and
299 &parse_WARNINGS.
300 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
301 * bin/autoscan.in: Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs.
302 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it.
304 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
306 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
307 including when the cache is used.
309 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
310 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
311 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
312 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
313 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
315 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
316 Use them.
317 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
318 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
319 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
320 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
321 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
322 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
323 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
324 failure, hence we can use the cache.
325 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
326 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
327 Remove.
328 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
329 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
330 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
331 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
332 the latter reveals calls to the former.
334 Adjust the tests.
336 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
338 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
340 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
341 Use them.
343 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
345 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in
346 forward order.
347 * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos.
348 (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests.
349 (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect.
350 (cross): New warning category.
352 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
354 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (&find_configure_ac)
355 (&require_configure_ac): Accept an optional directory argument.
356 ($configure_ac): Remove.
357 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_configure_ac, &canonfile)
358 (&catfile): Remove.
359 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
360 * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust.
362 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
364 * bin/autoheader.in: Remove duplicate 'use Autom4te::FileUtils'.
365 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
367 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
369 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
370 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
371 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
372 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
373 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
374 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
375 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.
376 More perldoc.
377 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to...
378 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here.
380 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
382 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm
383 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: New,
384 from CVS Automake.
386 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

389 (autom4te-update): New.
390 * Makefile.cfg (update): Bind autom4te-update.

398 package specific options and associated help.
400 2003-08-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

403 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
404 * GNUmakefile, Makefile.maint: Update from CVS Coreutils.
406 2003-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
408 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
409 AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, m4_include,
410 and m4_sinclude.
412 2003-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
414 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Move all args except aclocal.m4? into ...
415 (Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4): ... this new language.

431 STDOUT & STDERR arguments.
433 2003-08-14 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
435 * lib/autotestgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Reformat test summary line to print
436 DESCRIPTION rather than FILE and LINE. Shorten result to fit in new,
437 shorter column three. Add DESCRIPTION to log file content.
439 2003-08-13 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
441 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Correct typo in final status
442 output.
444 2003-08-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
446 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Use new _AT_CHECK API.

448 (_AT_CHECK): ...this new macro.
450 2003-08-07 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
452 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Move core functionality...
453 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): ...to this new macro.
455 2003-07-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
457 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): Work around a bug
458 in Bash 2.01. Problem reported by Brian Gough in
459 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-07/msg00106.html>.
461 2003-07-25 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
463 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Also ignore
464 -lcrt1.o, for OS X. (trivial change)
466 2003-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
468 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Wrap the '#define inline ...'
469 inside '#ifndef __cplusplus'. Problem reported by
470 Bob Friesenhahn.
472 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
474 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
475 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
476 (trivial change). See:
477 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html
478 (This really should be 'intptr_t', not 'long', but that would
479 take more work.)
481 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
483 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Make it read only.
484 Depend on Makefile since it contains substitutions.
485 From Paolo Bonzini.
486 * lib/autom4te.in (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
487 This change was made on autom4te.cfg which is generated.
488 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
490 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
492 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): sys/mount.h.
493 From Gareth McCaughan.
495 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
497 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
498 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
499 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
500 top_srcdir to find config.log.
501 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
502 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
504 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
506 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being
507 always run: output config.log on $at_group_log.
509 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
511 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Don't use quotes in

527 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extend test program to get an
528 error from OSF 4.0 Compaq cc in its default almost-ANSI mode, thereby

589 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
591 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.

593 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
594 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
595 63 for version mismatches.
597 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
599 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
600 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
601 the middle of a line).
602 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
603 Remove useless spaces in comments.
605 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
607 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an

619 and Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
621 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
622 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
623 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
624 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
625 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
626 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
627 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
628 Keith Bostic in
629 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
630 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
631 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
633 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
635 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
636 From Ian Redfern.
638 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
640 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
641 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
642 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
644 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
645 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
646 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
647 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
648 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
649 at_suite_log when a test fails.
650 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
651 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
652 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
653 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
654 its original place.
655 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
656 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
657 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
658 and stderr.
660 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
661 the name of the debugging directory and information about
662 its contents.
664 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
666 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 [AS_REQUIRE]: actually use the 2nd

779 and truncate.
781 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
783 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
784 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
785 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
786 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
788 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.
789 (&parse_args): Use --force with aclocal if required and supported.
790 (&autoreconf_current_directory): Use &run_aclocal.
792 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
794 Lock autom4te's cache.
796 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm ($me, &name, &lock, &truncate, &seek): New.
797 * bin/autom4te.in (&Request::save, &Request::load): Use an IO::File
798 argument instead of a file name, so that the request file remains
799 open during the whole autom4te run.
800 ($icache_file): New.
801 (&freeze): Lock the $icache_file.
803 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
805 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
806 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
807 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
808 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When
809 grepping $at_help_all for keywords, use the field and keyword
810 seperators to ensure a complete keyword match. Alter at_prev handling
811 to support the new --keywords behavior.
813 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
815 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
816 align better with others. I also made some of the individual
817 entries on one line, for brevity and to make it easier for me to

1010 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Add notes on printf
1011 format starting with "-".
1013 2003-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1015 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): `foo=bar make -e'
1016 is not portable inside Makefile.
1018 2003-02-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1020 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): When
1021 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
1022 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
1023 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
1025 2003-02-20 Klee Dienes <kdienes@apple.com>
1027 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Properly
1028 handle an empty aclocal.m4.

1032 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Quote
1033 $ac_prefix_program.
1034 From Larry Jones.
1036 2002-12-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1038 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
1039 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
1040 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
1041 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
1042 gettimeofday and many other functions.
1044 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1046 Version 2.57.
1048 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
1050 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
1052 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
1053 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
1054 not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by
1055 Martin Frydl in
1056 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
1058 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
1059 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
1060 defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
1061 bug reported by Momchil Velkov in
1062 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014490.html>.
1064 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty
1065 arg, AC_DEFINE -> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED) in documentation for
1066 obsolete AC_CHECK_TYPE. The missing empty arg was reported
1067 by Simon Josefsson in
1068 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf-patches/2002-December/008830.html>.
1070 * Makefile.maint (www-gnu): New macro.
1071 (standards.texi-url_prefix, make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Use it, as
1072 the location has moved.
1074 2002-12-02 Martin Frydl <martin@systinet.com>
1076 * bin/autom4te.in (at_flatten): rewritten to avoid M4 problem when
1077 \(.*\) match is too long and there is something more to be checked.
1078 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014524.html>
1080 2002-11-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1086 * config/move-if-change: Indenting changes.
1087 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Move to...
1088 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): here.
1089 Require 1.7.1.
1091 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1093 Version 2.55.
1095 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/install-sh:
1096 Update from masters.
1098 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1100 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
1101 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
1102 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
1103 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
1104 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
1105 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for
1106 N_ and _.
1107 From Paul Eggert.
1109 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1111 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Compiling several files at once.
1112 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
1114 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1116 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Solitary backslashes.
1117 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
1119 2002-11-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1121 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Initialize f=$1 rather
1122 than assigning in main, to avoid HP cc +O3 optimizing it away.
1124 2002-11-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
1126 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q
1127 option. Process --recheck after parsing all options. Pass -q
1128 option to configure on --recheck.
1129 (AC_OUTPUT): Pass -q from configure to config.status.
1130 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Strip -q from
1131 arguments to record.
1132 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Document
1133 config.status -q option.
1135 2002-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1137 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Scan Makefile.am too. Ignore
1138 Makefile.in if Makefile.am exists.
1139 (output): Strip `.am' from Makefiles. Don't
1140 output AC_CONFIG_FILES if no Makefiles were found.
1142 2002-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1144 * Makefile.am (cvs_files): Add elisp-comp, mdate-sh.

1155 2002-11-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1157 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Don't use grep
1158 -w.
1159 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Grep -w.
1160 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
1162 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1164 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
1165 Remove.
1166 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
1167 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
1168 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
1169 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
1170 otherwise available.])
1171 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
1172 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
1173 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
1174 was not compatible with Libtool.
1176 2002-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1178 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set the following variables,
1179 too: LC_ADDRESS, LC_IDENTIFICATION, LC_MEASUREMENT, LC_MONETARY,
1180 LC_NAME, LC_PAPER, LC_TELEPHONE.

1183 2002-11-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1185 Version 2.54c.
1187 * Makefile.maint (update, cvs-update, po-update, do-po-update):

1193 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf_current_directory): New, extracted
1194 from...
1195 (&autoreconf): here.
1196 ($help, $make, &parse_args, &autoreconf_current_directory):
1197 Support -m/--make.
1198 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.

1214 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Make sure the `state-ls.before file exists.
1216 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1218 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use and display
1219 `$(MAKE)' instead of '${MAKE}' to emphasize that we refer to the
1220 Make variable, not a shell variable.
1221 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
1223 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1225 * bin/autom4te.in (load_configuration): Reject #args out of any
1226 language.
1228 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1230 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_MSG_LOG_CONFTEST): New.

1242 Suggested by Tim van Holder.
1244 2002-10-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1246 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_MALLOC and
1247 AC_FUNC_REALLOC check for compatibility with glibc, not POSIX.
1248 Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
1250 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1252 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Put also in words what the
1253 pictures says to assist free style readers.
1254 (Customizing autom4te): s/--cache=/--cache /.
1256 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1258 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_VFORK): Include stdlib.h and
1259 sys/wait.h.

1262 From Bruno Haible.
1264 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1272 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): New test.

1279 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): Rename as...

1510 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
1511 Quote for Perl '' strings, not "".
1512 * bin/autoheader.in: Invoke autoconf to get '' strings, not ""
1513 strings.
1515 2002-10-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1517 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_QUOTE): The warning about quoted
1518 characters is a syntax warning now.
1519 (_AS_QUOTE): Accept $2 as list of characters to quote.
1520 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
1521 Quote for Perl, not sh.
1522 * bin/autoheader.in: When $debug, report the file which is
1523 `do'ne.
1524 * tests/tools.at (autom4te, autoheader): Exercise @bar, not merely
1525 `@', to tickle Perl's lists.
1526 Reported by Carlos Velasco.
1528 2002-10-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1530 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_m4): Pass --fatal-warning to m4, so that
1531 missing included files _are_ errors.
1532 Thanks to Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1533 * tests/tools.at (autom4te cache): Adjust.
1534 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE): New.

1537 Adjust.
1538 * tests/tools.at (autom4te): Now it does exit 1.
1540 2002-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1542 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_SAVE): Don't use cmp.
1543 Fixes the `AC_ARG_VAR' test failures.
1544 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Don't use cmp.
1545 * lib/freeze.mk (check-forbidden-patterns): New.
1546 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, lib/autotest/Makefile.am
1547 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (check-local): Use it to catch `cmp'.

1549 /dev/null.
1550 Reported months ago by H. Merijn Brand.
1552 2002-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1554 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Put randoms `@' to stress Perl.
1556 2002-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

1559 (ansi2knr.c-url_prefix): Remove.
1561 2002-10-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1563 Because of caching, some files that no longer exist and are no
1564 longer required can still cause errors.
1565 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1567 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'
1568 to frozen files in @ARGV, as @ARGV must remain being a list of
1569 files. Rather, at M4 call sites, use this...
1570 (&files_to_options): New function.
1571 (&freeze): Use &error.
1572 (&up_to_date): If a file that was included according to the cache
1573 is no longer there, then the output is out dated.
1574 (&main): Don't even check whether a file is up to date is anyway
1575 --force is given.
1576 * tests/tools.at (autom4te cache): New.
1578 2002-10-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1580 * bin/autoconf.as: Kill dead options.
1581 * bin/autoupdate.in (&parse_args): Kill old options.
1582 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Remove dead options.
1583 Factor some code.
1584 (&autoreconf): Report the directories we enter *and leave*, so
1585 that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
1586 format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
1587 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
1588 if some file was changed instead of `print'.
1589 * bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.
1590 (&parse_args): Remove the dead options.
1591 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Adjust to the new
1592 autoheader's quiet mode.
1593 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Likewise.
1594 * tests/tools.at (autoupdate): Adjust.
1595 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
1597 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1599 No longer use CPP to check for the existing of headers: use CC to
1600 check for compilability.
1602 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL)
1603 (AC_CHECK_HEADER, _AC_CHECK_HEADER_OLD): Remove.
1604 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_NEW): Rename as...
1605 (AC_CHECK_HEADER): this.
1607 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Include the failed test
1608 numbers in the Subject suggestion.
1610 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1612 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST): Obsolete.

1615 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1617 * tests/torture.at (AC_ARG_VAR): Have configure report the value
1618 of `precious'.
1620 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1622 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Use $$ in the
1623 file name to enable parallel executions.
1624 From Sam Varshavchik.
1626 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1628 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
1629 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to
1630 aclocal.
1631 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
1632 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
1633 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
1635 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1637 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
1638 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,
1639 but it's how Perl getopt works.
1640 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
1641 "permute", too.
1642 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):
1643 --warning -> --warnings.
1644 * lib/autom4te.in: --warning -> --warnings.
1646 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1648 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te.cache): New section.
1650 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1661 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4, lib/autoconf/types.m4: here.
1663 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1665 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
1666 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
1667 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
1668 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
1670 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1672 * tests/m4sh.at (Functions Support, Functions and return Support):
1673 New.

1680 (autom4te): Specify that the sources are in the $srcdir.
1681 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
1683 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1685 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre (st_blksize, st_blocks, st_rdev)
1686 (tm_zone): Move their rules to...
1687 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: here, using AN_ macros.
1688 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre (AWK, BISON, INSTALL, LEX, LN, MAKE)
1689 (RANLIB, YACC, awk, bison, byacc, flex, gawk, install, lex, ln)
1690 (make, mawk, nawk, ranlib, yacc): Similarly, move to...
1691 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: here.
1692 * lib/freeze.mk (ETAGS_FOR_M4, ETAGS_FOR_M4SUGAR)
1693 (ETAGS_FOR_AUTOCONF): New.
1694 Use it.
1696 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1698 * lib/autoconf/autoscan.m4: New file.
1699 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4: Include it.

1701 that were listed in the original autoscan.list.
1702 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Similarly with headers.
1703 * lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.
1704 (.m4.m4f): Don't pass --prepend-include, since that's done by
1705 tests/autom4te itself.
1706 * lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
1707 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
1708 (autoscan.pre): New file.
1710 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1712 * bin/autoscan.in (@kinds): Make them singular.
1713 Adjust all uses.
1714 (&init_tables): When --debug, report the list of rules to ease
1715 tracking changes in autoscan.list.
1716 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list (function): Strip comments, sort.
1718 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1720 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
1721 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
1722 * lib/autoscan/programs: Merge into...
1723 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list: this.
1724 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
1726 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1728 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
1729 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
1730 * lib/autoscan/programs: Make the `kind' explicit, i.e., each
1731 `functions' line is now prefixed with `function:'.
1732 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
1734 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1736 From now on, autoscan files must always map a macro name to a
1737 word: there is no `default' macro for autoscan.
1739 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
1740 all.
1741 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
1742 explicit.
1744 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1746 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Remove.
1747 (&used): Keep only track of the words we might be interested in.
1748 (&output_kind): It is no longer needed to look for non active
1749 checks.

1753 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): New, stolen from

1763 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): $2 is the directory into which
1764 the tmpdir must be created.
1765 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Have the tmp
1766 dir be in the build tree, instead of $TMPDIR.
1768 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1770 * bin/autoscan.in: Improve the comments.
1771 (&parse_args): Drop obsolete undocumented options.
1772 (&output_kind): Output warnings.
1773 * lib/autoscan/functions: (dcgettext): Now trigger AM_GNU_GETTEXT.
1774 (getwd): Trigger a warning.
1776 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1778 * bin/autoreconf.in: Clarify that -s is meaningless without -i.
1779 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
1780 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Likewise.
1782 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1784 Single suffix rules and seperated dependencies are not portable.
1786 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Update.
1787 (Limitations of Make): Some about `Single Suffix Rules and
1788 Separated Dependencies'.
1789 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
1790 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Un-factor into several rules.
1792 2002-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1794 * BUGS (Interoperability bugs): New section. Mention libtool
1795 1.4.2, configure.ac, and AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interoperability bug.
1797 2002-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1799 Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
1800 make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
1802 * bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
1803 (autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
1804 Move the body of the old .in rule here.
1806 2002-09-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1808 i960 compilers create `b.out' files by default.
1809 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
1811 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Remove b.out files.
1812 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Adjust to b.out.
1814 2002-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1816 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Remove obsolete
1817 reference to `struct timezone' in the description of
1818 AC_HEADER_TIME.
1820 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1822 Version 2.54.
1824 * config/config.sub, config/config.guess: Update.
1825 * Makefile.maint: Update from bits of the Coreutils 4.5.1.
1826 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
1828 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1830 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Suggest
1831 reading config.log when the compiler is rejected.
1832 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
1834 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1836 * bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
1837 (chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
1838 Reported by Vance Shipley.
1840 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1842 * bin/autoscan.in (&parse_args): Pass a reference to the lists, not
1843 the lists.
1845 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1847 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
1848 prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
1849 difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.
1851 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
1853 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
1855 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1857 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
1858 grammatical typos.
1859 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
1860 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
1861 is obsolescent.
1863 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1865 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
1866 (FAQ): this.
1867 (Defining Directories): New.
1869 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1871 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
1872 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
1874 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
1876 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
1877 plain `@' is wanted.
1879 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1881 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
1882 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
1883 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
1884 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
1885 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
1886 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
1887 cases.
1889 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1891 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
1892 looking for a replacement file.
1893 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
1894 directory is relative.
1895 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
1896 directory definition.
1897 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
1899 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1901 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
1902 precious variables are.
1903 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
1905 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1907 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
1908 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
1909 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
1910 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
1911 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1912 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
1914 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1916 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
1917 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
1919 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1921 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
1922 Automake 1.6c.

1929 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
1930 Brinkmann.
1932 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1934 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
1935 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
1936 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
1938 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1940 Version 2.53c.
1942 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1944 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
1945 SITE_MACRO_DIR.
1946 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
1948 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
1950 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
1951 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
1952 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
1954 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1956 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
1957 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
1959 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1961 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
1962 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
1963 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
1964 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
1966 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1968 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
1969 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
1970 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
1972 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
1974 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
1975 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
1976 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
1977 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
1978 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
1980 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
1981 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
1982 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
1984 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
1986 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
1987 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
1989 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
1990 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
1991 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
1992 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
1993 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
1994 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
1995 to shorten the output script.
1997 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1999 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
2000 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
2001 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
2002 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
2003 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
2004 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
2005 example, since the old example is now out of date.
2007 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
2008 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
2009 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
2010 spaghetti.
2012 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
2013 of rolling our own unset.
2014 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
2015 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
2017 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
2018 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
2019 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
2020 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
2021 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
2022 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
2024 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
2025 Update.
2027 * configure: Regenerate with self.
2029 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2031 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Notes on "cc"
2032 default output.
2034 2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
2036 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::load): Correctly test for "do" read
2037 failure.
2039 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2041 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
2042 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
2043 hand, which is not portable.
2044 (&error): New.
2045 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
2046 Use &error instead of die.
2047 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
2048 Adjust.
2050 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2052 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
2053 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
2054 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
2056 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2058 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
2059 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
2060 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
2061 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
2063 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
2065 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
2066 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
2067 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te
2068 --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
2069 use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
2070 * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
2071 arguments from each language section.
2073 2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2075 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
2077 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
2078 Replace with:
2079 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
2080 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
2081 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
2082 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
2084 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2086 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
2087 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
2088 `make -k'.
2090 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2092 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
2093 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.
2095 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2097 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE):
2098 Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002
2099 apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".".
2100 Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl.
2102 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2104 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the special

2121 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2123 Version 2.53b.
2125 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2127 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Update.
2129 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2131 Handle LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS once for all, including Libtool's and
2132 Automake's parts.

2135 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE): Call it.
2136 * tests/semantics.at (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Adjust.
2138 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>,
2139 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2141 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Install

2219 2002-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2221 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
2222 bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
2223 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Add local variables
2224 so that Emacs setups GNU style for perl-mode and cperl-mode.
2226 2002-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2228 * config/install-sh: Quote $src. Prefer || to test's -o option,
2229 as per "Limitations of Builtins".
2230 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Likewise, for && vs test -a.
2231 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
2233 * tests/mktests.sh: Use grep instead of fgrep, as per
2234 "Limitations of Builtins".
2236 2002-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2238 * tests/wrapsh.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOM4TE, AUTOM4TE_CFG,
2239 autom4te_perllibdir): Set to top build dir or src dir as appropriate,
2240 so that we consistently test the just-built programs.
2241 * tests/wrappl.as: Likewise.
2243 2002-06-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2245 * bin/autoconf.as (AUTOM4TE): Default to a fully qualified path
2246 name, so that symlinks to 'autoconf' work properly. Bug reported
2247 by Bruno Haible.
2248 * bin/autoheader.in (AUTOM4TE): Likewise.
2249 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoconf, autoheader): Likewise.
2250 * bin/autoscan.in (autom4te): Likewise.
2251 * bin/autoupdate.in (autom4te): Likewise.
2253 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): Also check for
2254 btowc, to fix a portability bug with diffutils-2.8.2/lib/fnmatch.c
2255 on Solaris 2.5.1.
2257 2002-06-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2259 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add more dir entries.
2261 2002-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2263 * bin/autom4te.in ($cache): Don't define using `$me', the name
2264 of the cache should not depend on the name under which autom4te
2265 was installed.
2267 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2269 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
2270 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): Adjust to the change of
2271 words in autom4te.in.
2273 2002-06-07 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2275 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Use
2276 _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS.
2278 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2280 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNC_FNMATCH): Typo,
2281 rename as...
2282 (AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH): this.
2283 * tests/mktests.sh (exclude_list): Exclude AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH,
2284 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU.
2286 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2288 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Point to Tru64 docs, and the
2289 Rosetta Stone for Unix.
2291 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2293 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): When rejecting a token,
2294 suggest m4_pattern_allow.
2295 Suggested by Adam J. Richter.
2297 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2299 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Initialize
2300 ac_config_libobj_dir.
2301 (AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR): New.
2302 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Split into...
2303 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_IF, _AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): these.
2304 Use ac_config_libobj_dir to find the replacement files.
2305 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): Split into...
2306 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH)
2307 (AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH_GNU): these.
2308 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use ac_config_libobj_dir.
2309 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, Generic Functions): Adjust.
2310 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Don't check
2311 AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG as it requires getloadavg.c which is not shipped.
2313 2002-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2315 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Fall back on cp
2316 if ln doesn't work.
2317 * NEWS: Likewise.
2318 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Links): Likewise.
2319 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Prefer $(LN_S) to ln -s || ln.
2321 2002-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2323 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:
2324 Update from masters.
2326 2002-05-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2328 * bin/autom4te.in ($m4): Do not assume that egrep and fgrep exist.
2329 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
2330 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_LOG_STDERR, AC_EGREP_CPP):
2331 Likewise.
2332 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (check-local): Likewise.
2333 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Likewise.
2334 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (commentary only): Likewise.

2336 * lib/autotest/Makefile.am (check-local): Likewise.
2337 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (check-local): Likewise.
2338 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC, AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Likewise.
2339 * tests/mktests.sh (egrep): New var; use it instead of plain egrep.
2341 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP): New macros.
2342 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document them.
2343 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Warn that egrep and fgrep may not exist.
2344 * NEWS: Likewise.
2346 2002-05-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2348 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T): New macro.
2349 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Types): Document it.
2350 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Require it
2351 instead of AC_MBSTATE_T, which never existed.
2353 2002-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2355 * doc/autoconf.texi (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): Specify the
2356 version of Autoconf that is discussed.
2358 2002-05-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2360 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove cf77 and cft77
2361 from the default list of compilers to try. Suggested by
2362 Kate Hedstrom.
2363 * NEWS: Document the above.
2364 * doc/autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler): Don't suggest cf77.
2366 2002-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2368 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Work correctly even if
2369 the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff.
2370 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
2372 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2374 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
2375 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
2376 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
2377 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
2379 * NEWS: Document this.
2380 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
2382 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
2383 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
2384 not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
2385 reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior.
2386 Add new optional argument DIR.
2387 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro.
2389 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro.
2391 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2393 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
2394 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
2395 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
2396 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
2398 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
2399 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
2400 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
2401 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
2402 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
2403 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
2405 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
2406 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
2407 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
2408 textutils.
2409 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
2410 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
2411 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by
2412 Paul D. Smith.
2414 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2416 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
2417 autopoint instead of gettextize.
2418 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
2419 ($uses_aclocal): this.
2420 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
2421 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
2423 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2425 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_map_sep): New.
2427 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2429 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
2430 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
2431 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
2432 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
2434 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
2436 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
2437 under node "Limitations of Builtins".
2439 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2441 * doc/install.texi: Better wording for setting variables when
2442 running configure.
2443 From Christian Cornelssen.
2445 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2447 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
2448 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
2449 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
2450 course.
2451 Be sure to protect it.
2452 Reported by Patrick Welche.
2454 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2456 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
2457 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
2459 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2461 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
2462 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
2463 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
2464 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2466 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2468 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.
2469 Thanks to Paul Eggert.
2471 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2473 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
2474 and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
2475 AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
2476 DEFAULT diversion.
2477 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
2478 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.

2490 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2492 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.

2508 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2510 * doc/autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Remove a spurious
2511 comma.

2523 lib/autoconf/status.m4, lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, tests/m4sh.at,

2526 2002-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2528 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Fix typos in yesterday's

2541 tests/atspecific.m4, tests/semantics.at, tests/torture.at:
2542 Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
2544 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
2545 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
2546 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
2547 all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate
2548 the manual now.
2550 Fix some bugs when using "$@" when there might be zero positional
2551 arguments in cases where this matters.
2553 * bin/autoconf.as: Rewrite so that the problem does not come up.

2571 * tests/c.at: We can't have zero arguments, so remove workaround
2572 that is not portable to Zsh.
2574 2002-04-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2576 * bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_macros): Honor AU_DEFUNs
2577 from aclocal.m4 too.
2579 2002-04-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2581 * tests/wrappl.as: New, M4sh precursor of wrappl.in.
2583 2002-04-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2585 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Install the Zsh
2586 workaround for ${1+"$@"}.
2587 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Explain it.
2588 From Oliver Kiddle and Peter Stephenson.
2590 Have M4sh perform minimal shell sanitizing.
2592 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.at (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Split the `_AS_PREPARE_*'
2593 part into...
2594 (_AS_PREPARE): this new macro.
2595 (AS_PREPARE): New.
2596 (AS_INIT): Invoke AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
2597 * tests/m4sh.at (AT_DATA_LINENO): Use _AS_PREPARE.
2599 Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
2601 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
2602 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
2603 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
2604 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
2605 Invoke _AS_PREPARE (not AS_PREPARE) in addition to
2606 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
2608 Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
2610 * tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
2611 * tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
2612 on Autotest and M4sh.
2613 ($(TESTSUITE)): Use $(autotest_m4f_dependencies).
2614 (wrapsh.in): New target.
2615 * bin/autoconf.as: New, precursor of autoconf.in.
2616 (autoconf.in): New target.
2618 2002-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>

2621 with indented comments in rules.

2630 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Add link to Unix V7 online docs.
2631 (Portable Shell): Cross reference to Systemology.
2633 2002-04-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2635 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Be sure to accumulate the
2636 directories when descending in a SUBDIRS.
2637 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
2639 2002-04-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2641 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Only simplify if path
2642 contains no literal separators.
2644 2002-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2646 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER)
2647 (_AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_LINK): New.
2648 Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
2649 Extracted from...
2650 (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
2651 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
2652 Adjust.
2653 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
2654 results in failures being hidden.
2655 Use m4_defn where appropriate.
2656 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
2657 after the second argument.
2658 Use m4_defn.
2659 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
2660 syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.
2661 * tests/torture.at (Multiple AC_CONFIG_FILES): New.
2663 2002-04-03 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2665 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_bmatch): Make sure m4_bregexp is not
2666 expanded if $# <= 2.

2669 aclocal.

2678 Fixes Debian #138666.
2680 2002-04-02 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2682 Integrate AC_PROG_CC_STDC into AC_PROG_CC.
2684 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Rename to _AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2685 AU_DEFUN old name. Use _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
2686 (AC_PROG_CC): Call _AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2687 (AC_C_INLINE): Do not require AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
2688 (AC_C_CONST): Same.

2698 _AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE.
2700 2002-03-28 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2702 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Test with a typedef return value,
2703 to avoid versions of HP C which don't allow that.
2705 2002-03-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2707 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.
2708 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Invoke it.
2709 (AS_BASENAME): AS_REQUIRE it, and use $as_basename.

2715 2002-03-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2717 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): The GNATS base moved.
2719 2002-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2721 * tests/m4sh.at: Don't rely on "PATH=test:$PATH test-1" working
2722 as POSIX requires, as it doesn't work with Zsh.
2723 * doc/autoconf.texi (Assignments): Document the problem.
2725 2002-03-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2727 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
2728 about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
2729 SHELL.
2731 2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2733 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
2734 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
2736 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
2737 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
2738 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.
2740 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2742 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): s/unknow/unknown/.
2743 From Aaron Ucko.
2745 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2747 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Specify the location in `&used'
2748 invocations.
2749 From Nicolas Joly.
2751 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2753 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust @code/@command, @xref/@ref usage.
2754 From Nishio Futoshi.
2756 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2758 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_define_default, m4_fst, m4_map): New.

2762 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Add AS_MKDIR_P.
2763 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
2765 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
2766 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
2767 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
2768 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
2769 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
2770 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
2772 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
2773 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
2774 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
2775 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
2776 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
2778 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2780 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
2781 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
2782 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
2783 says 'times: not found'.
2785 2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2787 * bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
2788 (&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.
2789 Rerun aclocal if needed.
2790 Suggested by Andreas Schwab.
2792 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2796 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2798 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): New.
2799 Add information about stdint.h and inttypes.h from Paul Eggert.
2801 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2803 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about `cp
2804 -p'.
2805 From Bob Proulx.
2807 2002-03-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2809 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): AS_REQUIRE, not
2810 m4_require.
2812 2002-03-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2814 * configure.ac: Explicitly check for EMACS since AM_PATH_LISPDIR
2815 does not do it if --with-lispdir is given.
2817 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2819 Version 2.53.
2821 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2823 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Clarify that the
2824 subdirectory should exist.
2826 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2828 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.6.
2830 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2832 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
2833 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
2834 affect the latter.
2836 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2838 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
2839 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
2841 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2843 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,
2844 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
2845 * bin/ifnames.in: Copyright update.

2849 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): New.
2851 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2853 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Clarification suggested by
2854 Kevin Ryde.
2856 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2858 Version 2.52i.
2860 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2862 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS): New.
2863 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INIT): More informative error
2864 message for LIBOBJ.
2866 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2868 * lib/freeze.mk ($(build_libdir)/m4sugar/version.m4): New, for
2869 parallel builds.
2871 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2873 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
2874 and host is irrelevant.
2875 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
2876 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
2877 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
2878 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
2879 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
2880 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
2882 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2884 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
2885 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
2886 useless.
2887 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
2888 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
2889 evaluation is the current item.
2890 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
2892 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2894 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
2895 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
2897 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
2898 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
2899 the last...
2900 (m4_lquote): New.
2901 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
2902 efficient.
2903 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
2904 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
2905 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
2906 (m4_cdr): New.
2907 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
2908 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
2909 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.

2958 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2960 Fix Autoconf PR/207:
2961 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
2963 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
2964 variable when looking for the prefix program.
2965 Now it also works for shell variables.
2967 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2985 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2987 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Skip if aclocal
2988 is not available.
2990 2002-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2992 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specific Compiler Characteristics):
2993 Describe HP-UX cc bug workaround more accurately.
2994 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast to long,
2995 not unsigned long.
2996 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Check non-GCC
2997 cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
2998 to this file.
3000 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3002 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,
3003 to make sure they are up to date when `check' is run.
3005 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3007 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Document
3008 package.m4.
3010 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3012 * lib/freeze.mk: New.
3014 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3016 Implement `autom4te --freeze'.
3018 * bin/autom4te.in (&freeze): New.
3019 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4, lib/autotest/general.m4,
3020 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Don't include files given by autom4te.
3022 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3024 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Implement `frozen files are
3025 optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
3026 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
3027 (handle_m4): don't.
3028 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
3029 (M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
3030 (Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.
3032 2002-01-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3034 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Accept $4.
3035 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Adjust.
3037 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3039 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Map non
3040 alphanumeric to `-' instead of `_'.
3042 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3044 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Split into two tests: one
3045 for plain code, the other for cross-compilation code. The latter
3046 is now run with GCC only.
3047 * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors): New.
3049 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3051 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Support pre-defined
3052 values.
3053 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Explain how to
3054 change AC_INIT default values.
3056 2002-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3058 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use configure.in,
3059 so that aclocal 1.4 works.
3060 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz and Larry Schmitt.
3062 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3064 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
3065 needs an argument.
3067 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3069 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
3070 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
3071 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
3072 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
3073 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
3074 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
3075 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
3076 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
3077 useless.
3078 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.
3080 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3082 Version 2.52g.
3084 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3086 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
3087 * doc/autoconf.texi: Finally add Akim as an author.
3089 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3091 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.
3092 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Don't expect $SHELL to be
3093 Bourne. Use /bin/sh.
3094 From Andreas Buening.
3096 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3098 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:
3099 Update from masters.
3101 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3103 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.5b.
3104 * config/auxdir.m4, config/cond.m4, config/depend.m4,
3105 * config/init.m4, config/install-sh.m4, config/lispdir.m4,
3106 * config/missing.m4, config/sanity.m4, config/select.m4,
3107 * config/strip.m4: Remove, to ease sync'ing with any version of
3108 Automake.
3110 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3112 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS)
3113 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Support -n as --no-create, as documented.
3114 Reported by Geir Ove Myhr.
3116 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3118 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): #Undef malloc.
3120 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3122 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Use a more GNUish error
3123 message on invalid options.
3124 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't use
3125 Autoconf::General::getopt with non valid options.
3127 2002-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3129 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Initialize
3130 $ac_cv_exeext so we don't use an old, invalid, cached value.
3132 2002-01-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3134 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRNLEN): New, from Jim
3135 Meyering.
3136 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Document the strnlen
3137 limitation.

3139 * lib/autoscan/functions: Adjust.
3141 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3143 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
3144 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
3145 configure.
3146 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
3147 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
3148 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
3150 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3152 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the AC_SUBST
3153 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
3154 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
3155 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
3156 arguments.
3157 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
3158 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
3159 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
3160 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
3161 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
3163 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3165 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Use `&used'.
3167 2002-01-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3169 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Improved wording regarding use of
3170 AC_OUTPUT.
3171 From Olly Betts.
3173 2001-12-18 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3175 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on sscanf
3176 sometimes needing writable input.
3178 2001-12-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3180 * doc/autoconf.texi (New Macros): Tweak wording.
3182 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3184 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
3185 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
3186 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
3187 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
3189 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
3191 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.
3193 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3195 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
3197 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3199 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename buildpath to
3200 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
3201 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.
3202 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
3203 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi, lib/autoconf/autotest.m4,
3204 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/autoreconf.in, tests/tools.at,
3205 * tests/wrappl.in, tests/wrapsh.in: Adjust.
3207 2001-12-12 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
3209 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT): Fix failed
3210 C/Fortran linking on HP/UX, by extracting the Fortran library
3211 search path from the LPATH line in the $F77 -v output.
3213 2001-12-12 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3215 * doc/autoconf.texi (File Descriptors): Use a clearer layout for the
3216 forbidden file descriptors table.
3218 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3220 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Build it at top level.
3221 Map to 1 in order to simplify its uses.
3223 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3225 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
3226 Remove $filepath, useless.
3227 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
3228 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
3229 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
3230 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
3231 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
3232 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
3233 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
3235 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3237 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
3238 Remove, replaced by...
3239 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
3240 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
3241 * configure.ac: Adjust.
3242 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
3244 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3246 * bin/autoscan.in (used): New.
3247 Use it.
3249 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3251 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file): Better parsing of CPP
3252 directives.
3253 (&scan_sh_file): Remove a duplicate pattern.
3254 (&check_configure_ac): Use long options.
3255 * lib/autoscan/headers (alloca.h): Check with AC_FUNC_ALLOCA.
3257 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3259 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_c_file): Fix the handling of C comments.
3260 Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
3261 comment made the whole line be ignored.
3263 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3265 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
3266 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.
3267 (Autotest Logs): New.
3269 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3271 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
3273 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
3274 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
3275 at_top_builddir.
3276 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
3277 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
3278 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
3279 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
3281 2001-11-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
3283 * doc/autoconf.texi, TODO, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
3284 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/headers.m4,
3285 tests/atgeneral.m4, tests/tools.at, tests/atspecific.m4: Fix
3286 spelling errors.
3288 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3290 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
3291 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
3293 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3295 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
3296 spotted by Jim Meyering.
3298 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3300 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
3302 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
3303 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
3304 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
3305 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
3306 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
3307 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
3308 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
3309 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
3310 * NEWS: Likewise.
3312 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3314 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
3315 hand.
3316 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
3318 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3320 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
3321 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
3323 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3325 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
3326 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
3327 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
3328 option.
3329 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
3330 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
3331 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
3332 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
3333 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
3334 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
3336 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3338 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
3339 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
3340 configure.ac.
3341 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
3343 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3345 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
3346 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
3347 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
3348 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
3349 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
3350 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
3352 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3354 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
3355 in PATH.
3356 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
3357 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
3358 suite.
3359 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
3361 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3363 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
3364 in place.
3366 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3368 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
3369 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
3371 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
3372 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
3373 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
3374 (AT_INIT): Adjust.
3375 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
3376 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
3378 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3380 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
3381 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
3382 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
3384 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
3385 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
3386 are new variables.
3387 Create the directories.
3388 Use absolute paths for at- files.
3389 (AT_CHECK): Adjust.
3391 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
3393 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
3394 (m4_car2): New.
3395 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
3397 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3399 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
3400 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
3402 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3404 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
3405 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
3406 __PROTOTYPES too.
3408 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3410 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
3412 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3414 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
3415 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
3416 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
3417 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
3418 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
3419 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
3421 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3423 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
3424 From Jim Meyering.
3426 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3428 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
3429 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
3430 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
3431 `missing' itself contains variables.
3433 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3435 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
3436 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
3437 the test suites.
3439 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3441 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
3442 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
3443 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
3444 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
3445 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3447 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3449 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
3450 processed only if present.
3451 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
3452 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
3453 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
3454 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3456 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3458 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
3459 doesn't accept .S files.
3461 2001-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3463 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_pattern_forbid): Accepts $2.
3464 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INTI): Forbid LIBOBJS.
3465 (_AC_LIBOBJ): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/.
3466 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): New.
3467 (handle_output): Use it.
3468 Read m4_pattern_forbid with messages.

3479 From Nicolas Joly.
3481 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3483 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
3484 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
3486 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3507 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
3509 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3511 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
3512 (@export_forward_subs): New.
3513 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
3514 (@EXPORT): Adjust.
3515 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
3516 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
3517 used.
3518 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
3519 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
3521 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3523 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
3524 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
3525 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
3526 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
3528 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3530 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
3532 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3534 Version 2.52f.
3536 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3538 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
3539 * config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
3540 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
3542 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3544 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
3545 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
3546 From Ezra Peisach.
3547 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
3549 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3551 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
3552 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
3553 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
3554 than character ranges.
3556 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
3557 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
3558 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
3559 behavior.
3560 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
3562 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3564 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
3565 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
3567 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
3568 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
3569 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
3570 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
3571 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
3572 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
3573 output and chmod failures.
3575 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
3576 the above.
3578 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3580 * tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
3581 handles it now.
3583 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3585 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
3586 AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
3587 provided, while it is optional.
3588 * configure.ac: Adjust.
3590 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3592 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
3593 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
3594 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
3595 with 5.005_02.
3597 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
3598 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
3600 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
3601 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
3602 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
3604 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3606 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.
3608 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3610 * m4/: Remove, merged into...
3611 * config/: here.
3613 2001-10-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
3615 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the problems with bash
3616 2.05's use of ANSI quoting in its `set' builtin.
3618 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3620 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
3621 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
3622 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
3623 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
3624 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
3625 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
3627 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
3628 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
3629 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
3631 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
3633 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3635 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of
3636 the executable was missing from the log.
3638 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3640 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): If destination is
3641 unchanged, remove the source.
3642 (&up_to_date_p): Don't be verbose, be debug.
3643 * bin/autoreconf.in: No longer support --m4dir.
3644 (&autoreconf): Display the full path of the configure.ac we are
3645 studying.
3646 Trace it only once.
3647 Be sure to honor --force with gettextize.
3648 Always run aclocal.
3649 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
3651 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3653 * bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
3654 Remove, dead.
3655 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
3656 `intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
3657 (&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
3658 options.
3659 ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
3660 (@include): New.
3661 (&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
3663 2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <petersen@redhat.com>
3665 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.

3677 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: In a
3678 comment, explain how to install automatic mode selection.
3679 From Russ Allbery.
3681 2001-10-19 Ezra Peisach <epeisach@zif.mit.edu>
3683 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Display the path to the
3684 configure.ac being studied.
3686 2001-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3688 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast sizeof to unsigned
3689 long, to work around a bug in the HP C compiler version HP92453-01
3690 B.11.11.23709.GP.
3692 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works.
3693 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.
3694 (AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics.
3695 (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
3696 and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
3697 AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
3698 (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
3699 contains white space.
3700 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
3701 Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
3702 * tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
3703 Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows
3704 either behavior.
3706 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3708 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Recognize
3709 `a_out.exe' for OpenVMS 7.1, DEC C 5.5 compiler, via GNV.
3710 From Eric Sharkey.

3714 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): m4_defun, not

3752 (Syntax of the shell scripts): Don't.
3753 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in: Don't

3842 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): If the current
3843 shell does not support LINENO, and if CONFIG_SHELL is unset or
3844 empty, and if we can find a shell that does support LINENO,
3845 then set CONFIG_SHELL to that shell and then re-execute
3846 ourselves with CONFIG_SHELL.
3848 2001-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3850 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Don't invoke $(TESTSUITE) if it
3851 doesn't exist. Remove *.tmp, as a .tmp file is created during the
3852 build of $(TESTSUITE).
3854 2001-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3856 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Look in the path

3881 2001-10-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3883 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use a portable

3893 compatibility with POSIX shells.

3921 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS):
3922 Don't use nested parenthesization. This patch was originally
3923 suggested to bug-autoconf by Philippe De Muyter on 2000-05-28,
3924 but somehow it didn't get incorporated then.
3925 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):

3930 the type exists.
3931 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
3932 Check for `expr' arithmetic overflow, and for compilation failure,
3933 and invoke a new argument $4 if either is discovered.
3934 This makes _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE more like _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
3935 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Pass IF-FAILS arg to _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE.
3937 2001-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3939 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: New.

3957 status when executing the ACTION-IF-FALSE.

3980 enough.
3981 Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.

4097 it works.
4099 2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4101 * Makefile.maint (AUTOM4TE): Neutralize autom4te.
4102 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
4104 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

4119 PATH_SEPARATOR.
4120 (Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.
4121 (Special Shell Variables[CDPATH]): Mention that $PATH_SEPRATOR should
4122 be used instead of ':'.
4123 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Replace occurrences of ':' in

4136 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4138 * bin/autoscan.in: Add 'exec-perl-if-not-run-by-perl'.

4147 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (open): Simplified the error message (we
4148 already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
4149 CR issues on DOSish systems).
4151 2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4153 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
4154 From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
4156 2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4158 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
4159 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
4160 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
4161 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
4163 * lib/autoconf/c.m4:
4164 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
4166 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
4167 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
4168 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
4170 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
4171 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
4172 to getpgrp.
4174 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
4175 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
4176 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
4177 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
4178 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
4180 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4182 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.

4192 * tests/m4sh.at: Ensure that AS_DIRNAME handles '/', '//' and '///'
4193 correctly.
4194 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
4195 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
4196 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
4197 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
4198 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
4199 one line out...
4200 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
4201 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
4203 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4205 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
4206 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
4207 This also solves the name clash problems.
4208 Don't set the package's ID.
4209 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
4210 No longer to be shipped.
4211 (version.in): Remove.

4213 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.
4214 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
4215 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
4216 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
4217 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
4218 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
4219 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
4220 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.
4222 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4224 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Preselect AM_CONDITIONAL,
4225 AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.
4226 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't abort when a tested
4227 program version string doesn't match the package's.
4228 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Reestablish the space
4229 after `(cached)'.

4233 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
4234 Allow expression to return any value that can fit into unsigned long
4235 (not int, as before). Check for output errors.

4239 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
4240 Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
4241 the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
4242 fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
4243 Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
4245 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4247 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
4248 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
4249 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
4250 when they don't exist.
4252 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
4253 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
4254 need it.
4256 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
4257 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
4258 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
4259 we don't need it.
4261 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
4263 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4266 _first_.
4267 Reported by Gerrit P. Haase.

4271 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Reset `AT_victims' so that

4299 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Fix stupid bugs.
4301 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4303 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
4304 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple
4305 test suites can cohabit.
4307 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4309 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
4311 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4361 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't pass

4415 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4417 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
4418 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
4420 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
4421 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
4423 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
4424 the wrong one.
4426 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to
4427 4m.
4429 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4431 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: New lib file.
4432 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.pl, bin/autom4te.in,
4433 * bin/autoheader.in: Use it.
4435 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4437 * bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros) <unm4.m4>: Undefine iff
4438 defined.
4440 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4442 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&getopt): Work around the `-' Getopt bug.
4443 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoupdate.in (&parse_args): Adjust.
4445 * bin/autoscan.in: Use `getopt' and `find_files' etc.
4446 Add -I, --include support.
4447 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoscan Invocation): Adjust.
4449 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4451 CVS GNU M4 doesn't like `undefine(undefined)'.
4453 * bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros):
4454 New, extracted from main.
4455 Use IO::File wherever possible.
4456 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
4457 Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
4458 Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
4459 `unm4.m4'.
4461 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4463 Version 2.52d.
4465 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4467 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Fix the
4468 previous patch.
4469 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Can create `config.hin~'.
4471 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4473 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): DU 5.0 has
4474 serious problems handling heredocs in heredocs.
4475 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
4477 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4479 * doc/autoconf.texi: Don't promote non `m4_*' M4 macros.
4480 (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
4482 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4484 * lib/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add autom4te.cfg.
4486 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4488 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
4489 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
4490 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
4492 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4494 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
4495 inverse order.
4497 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4499 * bin/autoupdate.in (@include): `installcheck' revealed the path
4500 to m4sugar was lacking!
4502 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4504 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass
4505 autom4te_perllibdir.
4507 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4509 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to
4510 debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to
4511 run is stupid.
4513 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4515 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from `@include'.
4516 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
4517 Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.
4518 * tests/autoupdate: $top_srcdir/lib is needed too for melt files.
4520 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4522 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Missing eol.
4523 * bin/autoheader.in (%symbol): Strip arguments of macros.
4525 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4529 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4531 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Die on unknown languages.
4532 * bin/autoheader.in: Run directly autom4te --mode=autoconf, no
4533 need for autoconf.
4534 Promote --include over --macrodir and other obsolete options.
4536 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4538 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm ($version, $help, &getopt): New.
4539 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
4540 * bin/autom4te.in ($autoconf): Pass --force.
4541 `print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
4542 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
4543 (autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
4544 the time stamps.
4545 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
4547 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4549 * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.
4550 Check the completeness of the #template.
4551 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/remove/unlink/.
4552 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Adjust AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER
4553 invocation.
4555 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4557 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &update_file): New.
4558 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
4559 Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
4560 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
4561 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
4562 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
4564 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4566 * bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.
4567 * tests/autoheader: Adjust.
4569 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4571 * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
4572 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
4573 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
4574 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
4575 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
4576 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
4577 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
4578 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
4579 * tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
4581 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4583 * bin/autoconf.in: Don't bother with `acsite.m4' and `aclocal.m4'.
4584 * bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
4585 optionally `FILE'.
4586 Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
4587 (&parse_args): Adjust.
4588 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
4590 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4592 * configure.ac: Also find tested executables in bin.
4593 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
4594 * bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
4595 installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
4596 Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
4597 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
4598 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
4599 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
4600 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
4601 find the executables for it.
4602 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
4603 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
4604 We only need PERL.
4605 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
4606 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
4607 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
4608 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
4609 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
4610 * tests/autoscan: New.
4611 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
4612 refer to library files: rely on --language.
4614 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4616 * bin/autom4te.in, lib/autom4te.in, bin/autoconf.in:
4617 s/--set/--language/.
4619 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4621 * doc/autoconf.texi: Strip the @nodes.
4622 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
4623 (Initializing configure): Typo.
4625 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4627 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): s/@__@/@&t@/.
4628 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
4630 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4632 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
4633 download in a tmp dir.
4635 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4637 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
4638 case insensitive OSes out there :(
4639 From Tim Van Holder.
4641 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4643 * lib/autom4te.in: New.
4644 * lib/Makefile.am (edit, autom4te.cfg): New.
4645 * bin/autom4te.in (BEGIN): Simplify.
4646 Rely on `AC_MACRODIR' in addition of `autom4te_perllibdir'.

4648 (&parse_args): Support --mode, --set, and --melt.
4649 * bin/autoconf.in: Simplify and adjust.
4650 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE): Use --set.
4651 * tests/atlocal.in: Adjust.
4652 * BUGS: distcheck and check are weak.
4654 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4656 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use
4657 foo=`(command) 2>/dev/null`
4658 not
4659 foo=`command` 2>/dev/null
4660 (at-devnull): Rename as...
4661 (AT-devnull): this.
4662 (--clean): Remove AT-* files too.
4663 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document `date'.
4664 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
4666 2001-08-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4668 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Don't use single
4669 quotes inside single quotes.

4676 2001-08-27 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4678 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Reword some messages.
4679 (AT_INIT): Check for the `times' builtin before using it.
4680 Support test ranges as arguments to the testsuite.
4681 Have -e imply -d as the help text suggested.
4683 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4685 * Makefile.maint: Formatting changes.
4686 (do-po-update, po-update, cvs-update, update): New targets.

4693 Pass it to debug-*.sh scripts.
4694 <AUTOTEST_PATH>: May contain absolute dir names.
4696 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4698 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Log the command line.
4699 Support `VAR=VAL' as arguments.
4700 Compute PATH _after_ the options processing, so that AUTOTEST_PATH
4701 may be set via the command line.
4703 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4705 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): $2 defaults to $1.

4707 first the build dirs, then the src dirs.

4717 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4719 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename `ac_dots' as
4720 `ac_top_builddir' to mimic Automake's vocabulary, which much more
4721 readable.
4722 Adjust callers.
4723 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Actions): Document the vars
4724 available in commands.
4725 Emphasize the risks of collisions in init-cmds.

4730 (Initializing configure): this new node.
4732 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4755 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): New.
4756 (_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Use it.
4757 Standardize the var names (ac_sub_srcdir -> ac_srcdir, ac_subdir
4758 -> ac_dir).
4759 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): AS_DIRNAME always return a dir name.
4760 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Ditto.

4787 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Add 1.5 and dist-bzip2.
4788 (AMTAR): Help automake define it.
4789 (INSTALL, install-data-hook): The INSTALL.txt trick is no longer
4790 needed, 1.5 can have a macro and a target with the same name.
4791 * m4/auxdir.m4, m4/cond.m4, m4/depend.m4, m4/install-sh.m4,
4792 * m4/strip.m4: New.

4807 * bin/autoupdate.in: Distinguish M4sugar vs. Autoconf macros by
4808 the name of the directory they're in, instead of the filename,
4809 since version.m4 is now in m4sugar, but m4_acversion must not be
4810 classified as an Autoconf macro.
4811 ($input_m4): Don't qualify the path to m4sugar.
4812 Rather, pass autoconf_dir to m4.
4813 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Remove -I top_srcdir, unneeded.

4828 of config.log on traps.
4829 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use AS_BOX.
4830 Use consistently `_ACEOF' for configure's here docs, and `_CSEOF'
4831 for config.status'.
4832 Open the log as soon as possible.
4833 Use the same log introduction as configure's.
4835 2001-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

4838 Move indices out of the top level menu and into this submenu.

4842 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
4843 AC_TRY_COMMAND.

4886 * m4/atconfig.m4 (AT_CONFIG): Don't use EOF but ATEOF so that 2.52
4887 can be used.
4889 2001-08-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4891 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Prepare the cross-compile
4892 program with AC_LANG_PROGRAM before feeding it to
4893 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE. Cleanup grep usage.
4895 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4897 * ChangeLog, ChangeLog.0, ChangeLog.1, ChangeLog.2, AUTHORS, BUGS,
4898 * NEWS, README, README-alpha, TODO, tests/README: This package is
4899 `Autoconf', not `autoconf' (the executable).
4901 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4903 Info readers seem to need `Index' in the index node title :(
4905 * doc/autoconf.texi: Reverse the 2001-08-15 change which
4906 simplified index node names.
4908 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4910 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Warn if the
4911 arguments are not literals.

4950 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4952 Huh!?!?! There are still some user EOF tags used, which prevents
4953 their use in AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS for instance...
4955 * lib/autoconf/general.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
4956 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Rename the EOF tags as `_ACEOF',
4957 `_CSEOF', or `_ATEOF', as appropriate.
4958 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am,

4963 * tests/base.at, tests/m4sh.at, tests/m4sugar.at,
4964 * tests/semantics.at, tests/tools.at, tests/torture.at:
4965 s/^AT_DATA\(([^][]+),/AT_DATA([$1],/.

5014 * doc/install.texi, doc/autoconf.texi: Use `autoconf', not
5015 `autoconf_manual', as texinfo.tex 2001-06-21.10 chokes on it.
5017 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5019 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Refer to `$as_me.log', not
5020 `$0.log' as for projects where testsuite is in src, we'd have
5021 testsuite.log created in src.
5023 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5025 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Recognize --normalize.
5027 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5029 Start implementing the AC_CHECK_HEADER transition scheme.
5031 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_NEW)
5032 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_OLD, _AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): New.
5033 (AC_CHECK_HEADER): Use them.
5035 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5037 * doc/autoconf.texi: Work around Texinfo buglets.
5038 (Transformation Rules): One example is enough, users are expected
5039 to have their brains on. And BTW, use DESTDIR.
5040 (dvar): New macro. Use it.
5042 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5044 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at) <AT_CHECK>: Complete.
5045 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use the relative dir when
5046 looking for ChangeLogs.
5048 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5050 * bin/autom4te.in: --normalize is a new option.
5051 * bin/autoconf.in: Use it.
5053 2001-08-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5058 2001-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5060 * doc/autoconf.texi, doc/install.texi: Put copyright notice at
5061 start, not at end.
5063 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5065 * doc/Makefile.am (fu): New index, can't use fn because of defmac.
5066 Use it.

5074 (Autotest Macro Index): Rename as...
5075 (Environment Variables, Output Variables,Preprocessor Symbols)
5076 (Autoconf Macros, M4 Macros, Autotest Macros): these.
5077 * doc/install.texi: Use @command.
5078 (Environment Variables): Rename as...
5079 (Defining Variables): this.
5081 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5083 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): sprintf's return
5084 value.
5085 From Kevin Ryde.
5087 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5089 * Makefile.maint (CVS): New.
5090 (local-check): Run changelog-check. last.
5091 (alpha): Don't depend upon local-check, since...
5092 (cvs-dist): depends upon it.
5094 2001-08-15 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5096 * tests/Makefile.am: Use a clean-local rule to remove
5097 autom4te.cache (it's a directory, not a file.
5098 * Makefile.am: Ditto (but maintainer-clean-local).
5100 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5102 * bin/autom4te.in (@m4_warning): New.
5103 (&handle_m4): Use it.
5104 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn): Pass `-f' to autom4te to ensure the
5105 warnings are issued at each run.
5106 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): M4sugar
5107 is in the src tree.
5109 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5111 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Perl is now required:
5112 don't waste time running `autoupdate --version' works.
5113 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Likewise.
5115 2001-08-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5117 * doc/autoconf.texi (ma): Rename this index as...

5135 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Explicitelly save and load
5136 endianness for comparison instead of relying on AT_CHECK_ENV.
5138 2001-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5140 * doc/autoconf.texi, doc/install.texi: Add a copyright notice
5141 to the INSTALL file.

5168 * tests/mktests.sh: Update year in copyright notice.
5170 2001-08-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5172 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
5174 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5176 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
5177 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
5178 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
5179 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
5181 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5183 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
5184 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
5185 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
5187 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5189 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
5190 effects.
5191 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
5193 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
5195 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
5196 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
5198 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5200 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
5201 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
5203 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5205 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
5207 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5209 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
5210 removed.
5211 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
5212 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
5213 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
5214 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
5215 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
5217 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5219 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
5220 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
5221 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
5223 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
5224 Dump information on the first run of each test.
5225 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
5226 test group.
5228 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5230 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
5231 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
5232 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
5233 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
5235 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
5236 does not like `' instead of [].
5237 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
5238 And don't output such tokens.
5239 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
5240 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
5241 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
5242 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
5243 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
5244 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
5246 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5248 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
5250 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5252 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
5254 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5256 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
5257 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
5258 AC_TRY_LINK.
5259 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
5260 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
5261 (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
5263 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5265 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
5266 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
5267 files.
5269 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
5270 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
5271 (@Request::source): Rename as...
5272 (@Request::input): this.
5273 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
5274 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
5275 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
5276 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
5277 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
5279 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5281 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
5282 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
5284 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
5285 (Request::id): this.
5286 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
5287 (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
5288 (&handle_output): Adjust.
5289 (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
5290 (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
5291 Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
5293 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5295 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
5296 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
5297 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
5298 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
5300 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5302 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
5303 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
5304 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
5306 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
5307 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
5308 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
5309 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
5310 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
5311 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
5312 (&mtime): New, export it.
5313 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
5314 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
5315 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
5317 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5319 Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
5320 must be proposed to the users.
5322 * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
5323 (@preselect): New.
5324 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
5325 (&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
5326 * bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
5328 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5330 * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
5331 macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
5332 lines arguments.
5334 2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5336 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without
5337 arguments.
5339 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5341 * bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
5342 From Nicolas Joly.
5344 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5346 Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.
5348 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins
5349 trace requests.
5350 (@m4_builtins): Rename as...
