53 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_LEX can

279 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Omit quoted
280 -mGLOB_options_string stuff for Intel ifc, which can cause
281 _AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS to fail. Use (faster) case for
282 pattern-matching instead of grep.
284 2003-10-08 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>

304 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
305 cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
306 since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.

310 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f

313 2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
315 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): Reverse the order of the
316 arguments so that it can be used with syntax identical to
317 AC_PROG_F77, and so that we can more easily decide to
318 remove/deprecate the DIALECT optional argument in the future if it
319 proves troublesome.
320 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Exit 77 upon failure to fix test suite for
321 non-freeform-supporting compilers. Document freeform flags.

388 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-09/msg00039.html
390 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
392 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
393 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
394 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
395 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
396 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
398 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
400 * bin/autoscan.in (Autom4te::FileUtils): Use it for find_file.
401 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

417 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
419 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
420 Reported by Henk Krus.
421 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
423 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
424 AT_help_all.
425 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
426 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
427 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
428 (AT_INIT): here.
429 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...
430 (at_times_p): this.
431 (AT_INIT): When summarizing the test that ran, remove
432 $at_times_file after use, and check it is present before trying to
433 use it.
435 2003-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
437 Version 2.57d.
439 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Handle '@configure_input@'.

441 (ifnames): chmod -w.
442 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
443 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
444 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
445 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
446 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
447 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
448 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
449 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a
450 -w file.
451 * config/install-sh: Upgrade from CVS Automake.

464 about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for
465 any warning.
466 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Document this.
468 2003-09-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

487 not asm/types.h.
489 2003-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
491 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): linux/random.h.
492 From Peter Hendrickson.
494 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
496 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Make it harder to be
497 willing to edit the output files.
499 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
501 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): Also exercise AC_FC_SRCEXT
502 and AC_FC_FREEFORM.
503 * tests/mktests.sh: Skip AC_FC_SRCEXT.
504 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM): Likewise.
506 2003-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
508 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&update_file): s/cannot not/cannot/g.

517 2003-09-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
519 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS):
520 Improve the accuracy of the wording about obsolescence.
521 From a suggestion by Ian Lance Taylor in
522 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-09/msg00044.html>.
524 2003-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
526 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Try -ffree-form too,
527 for the benefit of g77 3.2. Fix suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
529 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
531 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Fix the filtering of
532 AC_FUNC_WAIT3.
534 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
536 * bin/autom4te.in: Use &fatal where more appropriate than &error.
537 (freeze): When exiting, use $exit_code.
538 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4: Comment changes.
540 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
542 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Add AC_FC_FUNC.
544 2003-09-02 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
546 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
547 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
548 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
549 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
550 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
551 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
552 AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.
554 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX(C), _AC_LANG_PREFIX(C++)):
555 New macros.
556 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Invoke _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_FC_HOOKS if defined.

567 _AC_FC_WRAPPERS, AC_FC_WRAPPERS, _AC_FC_FUNC, AC_FC_FUNC,
568 AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM):
569 New macros.
570 (AC_PROG_F77, AC_PROG_F77_C_O, AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS,
571 AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN, AC_F77_MAIN, _AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING,
572 AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING, AC_F77_WRAPPERS, AC_F77_FUNC):

579 2003-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
581 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make):
582 Document problems with timestamp resolution that 'make', 'cp -p', and
583 'touch -r' have.
585 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
587 * tests/m4sugar.at (cross_warning): Make sure to enable the
588 output, so that we can track spurious m4sugar output.
589 * tests/local.at: Require 2.57.
590 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't m4_default the arguments that
591 are defaulted by AT_CHECK anyway.
592 Use AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE.
593 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: There should be no output at all: add a
594 missing dnl.
596 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
598 * bin/autoheader.in: Issue the "Using auxiliary..." message only
599 when -Wobsolete is set.
600 Set it on by default.
601 Suggested by Klee Dienes.
603 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
605 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): More
606 documentation.

612 after AC_OUTPUT.
614 2003-08-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
616 * config/announce-gen, GNUmakefile, Makefile.maint: Update from
617 CVS Bison.
619 2003-08-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
621 * bin/autoreconf.in (parse_args): Do not pass --no-force to
622 Automake versions prior to 1.8.
624 2003-08-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
626 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): netinet/if_ether.h.
627 From Ville Karaila.
629 2003-08-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
631 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.57c.
633 2003-08-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

640 (local-check): New.
642 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add Makefile.cfg.
643 * configure.ac: Require Automake 1.7.6.
645 2003-08-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
647 Output stack traces in warnings.
649 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_warn): New.
650 Replace the former...
651 (m4_warn): Pass the call stack to _m4_warn.
652 * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust to output the call stack.
653 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Adjust.
655 2003-08-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
657 * lib/Autom4te/Request.pm, lib/Autom4te/C4che.pm: New.
658 * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust.
660 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
662 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&file_name_is_absolute): Remove.
663 (&verbose): Remove.
664 (&getopt): Adjust the note and verb channels, depending upon
665 --verbose.
666 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in,
667 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust.
668 Use &verb, not &verbose.
670 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
672 * bin/autoheader.in (&parse_args): Use &parse_warnings and
673 &parse_WARNINGS.
674 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
675 * bin/autoscan.in: Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs.
676 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it.
678 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
680 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
681 including when the cache is used.
683 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
684 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
685 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
686 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
687 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
689 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
690 Use them.
691 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
692 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
693 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
694 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
695 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
696 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
697 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
698 failure, hence we can use the cache.
699 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
700 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
701 Remove.
702 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
703 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
704 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
705 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
706 the latter reveals calls to the former.
708 Adjust the tests.
710 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
712 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
714 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
715 Use them.
717 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
719 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in
720 forward order.
721 * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos.
722 (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests.
723 (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect.
724 (cross): New warning category.
726 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
728 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (&find_configure_ac)
729 (&require_configure_ac): Accept an optional directory argument.
730 ($configure_ac): Remove.
731 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_configure_ac, &canonfile)
732 (&catfile): Remove.
733 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
734 * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust.
736 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
738 * bin/autoheader.in: Remove duplicate 'use Autom4te::FileUtils'.
739 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
741 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
743 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
744 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
745 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
746 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
747 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
748 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
749 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.
750 More perldoc.
751 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to...
752 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here.
754 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
756 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm
757 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: New,
758 from CVS Automake.
760 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

763 (autom4te-update): New.
764 * Makefile.cfg (update): Bind autom4te-update.

772 package specific options and associated help.
774 2003-08-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

777 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
778 * GNUmakefile, Makefile.maint: Update from CVS Coreutils.
780 2003-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
782 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
783 AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, m4_include,
784 and m4_sinclude.
786 2003-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
788 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Move all args except aclocal.m4? into ...
789 (Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4): ... this new language.
790 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te Invocation): Mention

802 2003-08-16 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
804 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): Document defaults for
805 STDOUT & STDERR arguments.
807 2003-08-14 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
809 * lib/autotestgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Reformat test summary line to print
810 DESCRIPTION rather than FILE and LINE. Shorten result to fit in new,
811 shorter column three. Add DESCRIPTION to log file content.
813 2003-08-13 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
815 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Correct typo in final status
816 output.
818 2003-08-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
820 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Use new _AT_CHECK API.
821 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Move core functionality to...
822 (_AT_CHECK): ...this new macro.
824 2003-08-07 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
826 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Move core functionality...
827 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): ...to this new macro.
829 2003-07-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
831 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): Work around a bug
832 in Bash 2.01. Problem reported by Brian Gough in
833 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-07/msg00106.html>.
835 2003-07-25 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
837 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Also ignore
838 -lcrt1.o, for OS X. (trivial change)
840 2003-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
842 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Wrap the '#define inline ...'
843 inside '#ifndef __cplusplus'. Problem reported by
844 Bob Friesenhahn.
846 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
848 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
849 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
850 (trivial change). See:
851 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html
852 (This really should be 'intptr_t', not 'long', but that would
853 take more work.)
855 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
857 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Make it read only.
858 Depend on Makefile since it contains substitutions.
859 From Paolo Bonzini.
860 * lib/autom4te.in (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
861 This change was made on autom4te.cfg which is generated.
862 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
864 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
866 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): sys/mount.h.
867 From Gareth McCaughan.
869 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
871 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
872 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
873 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
874 top_srcdir to find config.log.
875 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
876 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
878 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
880 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being
881 always run: output config.log on $at_group_log.
883 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
885 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Don't use quotes in
886 C++ comments as it puzzles Emacs' sh font-lock-mode.
888 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
890 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Fix output copyright notice.
891 * lib/autom4te.cfg (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
892 * tests/atspecific.m4: Rename as...

899 2003-06-21 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
901 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extend test program to get an
902 error from OSF 4.0 Compaq cc in its default almost-ANSI mode, thereby
903 ensuring we add -std1 for full-ANSI.
905 * doc/autoconf.texi (hdrindex): New macro.
906 Add index entries for portability of various standard header files.
908 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

912 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
914 Version 2.57a.
916 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
918 * bin/autom4te.in: Don't rely on $HOME being defined.
919 Reported by Marc Espie as PR/233.
921 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
923 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use at_times_file only if used.

930 Update from masters.
932 2003-06-11 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
934 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): Document AT_XFAIL_IF
935 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_XFAIL_IF): New macro.
936 (TEST_SCRIPT): New diversion.
937 (AT_SETUP): Divert output to TEST_SCRIPT and move some code...
938 (AT_CLEANUP): ...to here. Undivert TEST_SCRIPT.
939 (AT_INIT): Support for expected failures.
941 2003-06-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
943 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoheader.in: White space
944 changes.
945 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&backname): Remove, no longer used by
946 Autoconf nor Automake.
947 (&contents): New, from Automake.
948 PODify.
950 2003-05-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
952 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions),
953 lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): Check that mktime
954 is the inverse of localtime.
956 2003-05-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
958 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Print diagnostics to STDERR.
959 (handle_exec_errors): New function. Work around $! being
960 altered by WEXITSTATUS.
961 (xqx, xsystem): Use handle_exec_errors.
963 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
965 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.
966 Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
967 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
968 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
969 63 for version mismatches.
971 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
973 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
974 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
975 the middle of a line).
976 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
977 Remove useless spaces in comments.
979 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
981 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an
982 exit 63, so that we (or Automake's "missing") can tell the
983 difference with a plain failure.
984 * doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): Adjust.
986 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
988 * Makefile.am, bin/Makefile.am, config/Makefile.am,
989 * doc/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
990 White spaces cleanup.
992 2003-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
993 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
995 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
996 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
997 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
998 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
999 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
1000 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
1001 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
1002 Keith Bostic in
1003 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
1004 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
1005 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
1007 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1009 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
1010 From Ian Redfern.
1012 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1014 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
1015 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
1016 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
1018 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
1019 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
1020 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
1021 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
1022 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
1023 at_suite_log when a test fails.
1024 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
1025 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
1026 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
1027 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
1028 its original place.
1029 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
1030 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
1031 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
1032 and stderr.
1034 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
1035 the name of the debugging directory and information about
1036 its contents.

1153 and truncate.
1155 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1157 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
1158 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
1159 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
1160 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
1162 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.
1163 (&parse_args): Use --force with aclocal if required and supported.

1173 open during the whole autom4te run.
1174 ($icache_file): New.
1175 (&freeze): Lock the $icache_file.
1177 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1179 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
1180 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
1181 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
1182 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When
1183 grepping $at_help_all for keywords, use the field and keyword

1185 to support the new --keywords behavior.
1187 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1189 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
1190 align better with others. I also made some of the individual
1191 entries on one line, for brevity and to make it easier for me to
1192 sort my dir-example file in the Texinfo distribution :).

1413 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
1414 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i

1416 gettimeofday and many other functions.
1418 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

1429 Martin Frydl in
1430 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
1432 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
1433 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
1434 defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
1435 bug reported by Momchil Velkov in
1436 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014490.html>.
1438 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty

1474 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
1475 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
1476 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
1477 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
1478 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
1479 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for

1536 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1538 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
1539 Remove.
1540 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
1541 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
1542 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
1543 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
1544 otherwise available.])
1545 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
1546 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
1547 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
1548 was not compatible with Libtool.

1941 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'

2004 aclocal.
2005 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
2006 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
2007 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
2009 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2011 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
2012 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,
2013 but it's how Perl getopt works.
2014 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
2015 "permute", too.
2016 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):
2017 --warning -> --warnings.
2018 * lib/autom4te.in: --warning -> --warnings.
2020 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2022 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te.cache): New section.
2024 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2026 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoscan-preselections, Autoreconf-preselections)
2027 (Automake-preselections): Update.
2028 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: Comment changes.
2030 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2034 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
2035 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4, lib/autoconf/types.m4: here.
2037 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2039 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
2040 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
2041 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
2042 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
2044 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2046 * tests/m4sh.at (Functions Support, Functions and return Support):
2047 New.
2049 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2051 * bin/Makefile.am (ETAGS_SH, ETAGS_PERL): Update: ifnames and
2052 autoheader are Perl programs.
2053 (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate, ifnames, autoscan)
2054 (autom4te): Specify that the sources are in the $srcdir.
2055 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
2057 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2059 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre (st_blksize, st_blocks, st_rdev)
2060 (tm_zone): Move their rules to...
2061 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: here, using AN_ macros.
2062 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre (AWK, BISON, INSTALL, LEX, LN, MAKE)
2063 (RANLIB, YACC, awk, bison, byacc, flex, gawk, install, lex, ln)
2064 (make, mawk, nawk, ranlib, yacc): Similarly, move to...
2065 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: here.
2066 * lib/freeze.mk (ETAGS_FOR_M4, ETAGS_FOR_M4SUGAR)
2067 (ETAGS_FOR_AUTOCONF): New.
2068 Use it.
2070 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2072 * lib/autoconf/autoscan.m4: New file.
2073 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4: Include it.
2074 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Use AN_FUNCTION for all the functions
2075 that were listed in the original autoscan.list.
2076 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Similarly with headers.
2077 * lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.
2078 (.m4.m4f): Don't pass --prepend-include, since that's done by
2079 tests/autom4te itself.
2080 * lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
2081 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
2082 (autoscan.pre): New file.
2084 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2086 * bin/autoscan.in (@kinds): Make them singular.
2087 Adjust all uses.
2088 (&init_tables): When --debug, report the list of rules to ease
2089 tracking changes in autoscan.list.
2090 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list (function): Strip comments, sort.
2092 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2094 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
2095 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
2096 * lib/autoscan/programs: Merge into...
2097 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list: this.
2098 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
2100 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2102 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
2103 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
2104 * lib/autoscan/programs: Make the `kind' explicit, i.e., each
2105 `functions' line is now prefixed with `function:'.
2106 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
2108 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2110 From now on, autoscan files must always map a macro name to a
2111 word: there is no `default' macro for autoscan.
2113 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
2114 all.
2115 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
2116 explicit.
2118 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2120 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Remove.
2121 (&used): Keep only track of the words we might be interested in.
2122 (&output_kind): It is no longer needed to look for non active
2123 checks.
2125 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2127 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): New, stolen from
2128 jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC, by Paul Eggert, from the Coreutils 4.5.1.
2129 * lib/autoscan/functions: Adjust.
2130 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Adjust.
2132 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2134 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about mv
2135 from /tmp.
2136 Thanks to Bill Moseley and Paul Eggert.
2137 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): $2 is the directory into which
2138 the tmpdir must be created.
2139 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Have the tmp
2140 dir be in the build tree, instead of $TMPDIR.
2142 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2144 * bin/autoscan.in: Improve the comments.
2145 (&parse_args): Drop obsolete undocumented options.
2146 (&output_kind): Output warnings.
2147 * lib/autoscan/functions: (dcgettext): Now trigger AM_GNU_GETTEXT.
2148 (getwd): Trigger a warning.
2150 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2152 * bin/autoreconf.in: Clarify that -s is meaningless without -i.
2153 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2154 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Likewise.
2156 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2158 Single suffix rules and seperated dependencies are not portable.
2160 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Update.
2161 (Limitations of Make): Some about `Single Suffix Rules and
2162 Separated Dependencies'.
2163 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
2164 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Un-factor into several rules.
2166 2002-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2168 * BUGS (Interoperability bugs): New section. Mention libtool
2169 1.4.2, configure.ac, and AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interoperability bug.
2171 2002-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2173 Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
2174 make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
2176 * bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
2177 (autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
2178 Move the body of the old .in rule here.
2180 2002-09-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2182 i960 compilers create `b.out' files by default.
2183 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2185 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Remove b.out files.
2186 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Adjust to b.out.
2188 2002-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2190 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Remove obsolete
2191 reference to `struct timezone' in the description of
2192 AC_HEADER_TIME.
2194 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2196 Version 2.54.
2198 * config/config.sub, config/config.guess: Update.
2199 * Makefile.maint: Update from bits of the Coreutils 4.5.1.
2200 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
2202 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2204 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Suggest
2205 reading config.log when the compiler is rejected.
2206 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
2208 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2210 * bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
2211 (chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
2212 Reported by Vance Shipley.
2214 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2216 * bin/autoscan.in (&parse_args): Pass a reference to the lists, not
2217 the lists.
2219 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2221 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
2222 prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
2223 difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.
2225 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2227 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
2229 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2231 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
2232 grammatical typos.
2233 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
2234 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
2235 is obsolescent.
2237 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2239 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
2240 (FAQ): this.
2241 (Defining Directories): New.
2243 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2245 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
2246 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
2248 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
2250 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
2251 plain `@' is wanted.
2253 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2255 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
2256 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
2257 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
2258 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
2259 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2260 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
2261 cases.
2263 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2265 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
2266 looking for a replacement file.
2267 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
2268 directory is relative.
2269 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
2270 directory definition.
2271 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
2273 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2275 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
2276 precious variables are.
2277 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
2279 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2281 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
2282 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
2283 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
2284 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
2285 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
2286 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
2288 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2290 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
2291 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
2293 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2295 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
2296 Automake 1.6c.
2297 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
2298 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
2300 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2302 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
2303 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
2304 Brinkmann.
2306 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2308 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
2309 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
2310 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
2312 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2314 Version 2.53c.
2316 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2318 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
2319 SITE_MACRO_DIR.
2320 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
2322 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
2324 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
2325 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
2326 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
2328 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2330 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
2331 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
2333 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2335 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
2336 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
2337 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
2338 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
2340 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2342 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
2343 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
2344 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
2346 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
2348 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
2349 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
2350 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
2351 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
2352 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
2354 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
2355 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
2356 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
2358 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
2360 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
2361 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
2363 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
2364 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
2365 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
2366 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
2367 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
2368 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
2369 to shorten the output script.
2371 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2373 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
2374 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
2375 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
2376 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
2377 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
2378 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
2379 example, since the old example is now out of date.
2381 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
2382 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
2383 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
2384 spaghetti.
2386 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
2387 of rolling our own unset.
2388 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
2389 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
2391 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
2392 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
2393 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
2394 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
2395 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
2396 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
2398 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
2399 Update.
2401 * configure: Regenerate with self.
2403 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2405 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Notes on "cc"
2406 default output.
2408 2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
2410 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::load): Correctly test for "do" read
2411 failure.
2413 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2415 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
2416 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
2417 hand, which is not portable.
2418 (&error): New.
2419 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
2420 Use &error instead of die.
2421 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
2422 Adjust.
2424 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2426 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
2427 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
2428 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
2430 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2432 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
2433 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
2434 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
2435 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
2437 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
2439 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
2440 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
2441 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te
2442 --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
2443 use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
2444 * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
2445 arguments from each language section.
2447 2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2449 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
2451 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
2452 Replace with:
2453 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
2454 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
2455 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
2456 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
2458 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2460 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
2461 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
2462 `make -k'.
2464 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2466 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
2467 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.
2469 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2471 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE):
2472 Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002
2473 apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".".
2474 Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl.
2476 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2478 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the special
2479 handling of the obj/ directory by BSD make.
2481 2002-07-20 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2483 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Add HP-UX IA-64 trailing
2484 backslashes.
2486 2002-07-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2488 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): `exit'.
2489 (Programming in M4sh): Ethymology of M4sh.
2491 2002-07-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2598 so that Emacs setups GNU style for perl-mode and cperl-mode.
2600 2002-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2602 * config/install-sh: Quote $src. Prefer || to test's -o option,
2603 as per "Limitations of Builtins".

2605 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.

2635 2002-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>

2660 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2662 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Point to Tru64 docs, and the
2663 Rosetta Stone for Unix.
2665 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2667 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): When rejecting a token,
2668 suggest m4_pattern_allow.
2669 Suggested by Adam J. Richter.

2676 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Split into...
2677 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_IF, _AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): these.

2679 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): Split into...
2680 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH)

2683 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, Generic Functions): Adjust.

2689 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Fall back on cp

2695 2002-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2697 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:
2698 Update from masters.

2730 version of Autoconf that is discussed.
2732 2002-05-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2734 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove cf77 and cft77
2735 from the default list of compilers to try. Suggested by
2736 Kate Hedstrom.
2737 * NEWS: Document the above.
2738 * doc/autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler): Don't suggest cf77.
2740 2002-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2742 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Work correctly even if
2743 the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff.
2744 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
2746 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2748 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
2749 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
2750 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
2751 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
2753 * NEWS: Document this.
2754 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
2756 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
2757 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
2758 not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
2759 reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior.
2760 Add new optional argument DIR.
2761 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro.
2763 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro.
2765 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2767 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
2768 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
2769 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
2770 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
2772 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
2773 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
2774 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
2775 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
2776 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
2777 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
2779 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
2780 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
2781 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
2782 textutils.
2783 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
2784 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
2785 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by
2786 Paul D. Smith.
2788 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2790 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
2791 autopoint instead of gettextize.
2792 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
2793 ($uses_aclocal): this.
2794 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
2795 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
2797 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2799 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_map_sep): New.
2801 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2803 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
2804 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
2805 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
2806 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
2808 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
2810 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
2811 under node "Limitations of Builtins".
2813 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2815 * doc/install.texi: Better wording for setting variables when
2816 running configure.
2817 From Christian Cornelssen.
2819 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2821 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
2822 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
2823 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
2824 course.
2825 Be sure to protect it.
2826 Reported by Patrick Welche.
2828 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2830 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
2831 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
2833 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2835 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
2836 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
2837 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
2838 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2840 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2842 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.
2843 Thanks to Paul Eggert.
2845 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2847 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
2848 and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
2849 AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
2850 DEFAULT diversion.
2851 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
2852 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
2853 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the
2854 _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in
2855 _AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS.
2856 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
2858 2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2860 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after autoconf and
2861 autoheader, so that automake does not complain about a missing
2862 config.h.in that was to be created.
2864 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2866 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.
2867 Fixes PR/220.
2869 2002-04-22 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2871 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Remove gmon.out

2882 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2884 * doc/autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Remove a spurious
2885 comma.
2886 Reported by Gregory Giannoni.
2888 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2890 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Skip the test if LINENO cannot be unset.
2891 Fixes false failures on Darwin.
2893 2002-04-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

2916 Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
2918 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
2919 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
2920 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
2921 all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate
2922 the manual now.

2948 2002-04-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2950 * bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_macros): Honor AU_DEFUNs

2973 Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
2975 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
2976 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
2977 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
2978 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
2979 Invoke _AS_PREPARE (not AS_PREPARE) in addition to
2980 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
2982 Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
2984 * tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
2985 * tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
2986 on Autotest and M4sh.
2987 ($(TESTSUITE)): Use $(autotest_m4f_dependencies).
2988 (wrapsh.in): New target.
2989 * bin/autoconf.as: New, precursor of autoconf.in.
2990 (autoconf.in): New target.
2992 2002-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2994 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the issue
2995 with indented comments in rules.

2999 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Handle empty
3000 ac_top_builddir when setting ac_abs_top_builddir.

3004 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Add link to Unix V7 online docs.
3005 (Portable Shell): Cross reference to Systemology.
3007 2002-04-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3009 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Be sure to accumulate the
3010 directories when descending in a SUBDIRS.
3011 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
3013 2002-04-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3015 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Only simplify if path
3016 contains no literal separators.
3018 2002-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3020 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER)
3021 (_AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_LINK): New.
3022 Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
3023 Extracted from...
3024 (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
3025 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
3026 Adjust.
3027 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
3028 results in failures being hidden.
3029 Use m4_defn where appropriate.
3030 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
3031 after the second argument.
3032 Use m4_defn.
3033 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
3034 syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.
3035 * tests/torture.at (Multiple AC_CONFIG_FILES): New.
3037 2002-04-03 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3039 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_bmatch): Make sure m4_bregexp is not
3040 expanded if $# <= 2.
3042 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after rerunning
3043 aclocal.
3045 2002-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3047 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT_REJECT)
3048 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_REJECT): New.
3049 Also recognize *.bb and *.bbg as compilation byproducts.
3050 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT, _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O)
3051 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): Use them.
3052 Fixes Debian #138666.
3054 2002-04-02 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3056 Integrate AC_PROG_CC_STDC into AC_PROG_CC.
3058 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Rename to _AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
3059 AU_DEFUN old name. Use _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
3060 (AC_PROG_CC): Call _AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
3061 (AC_C_INLINE): Do not require AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
3062 (AC_C_CONST): Same.
3063 (AC_C_INLINE): Same.
3064 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Same. Require AC_PROG_CC instead.
3065 * doc/autoconf.texi, NEWS: Document.
3066 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_list): Add AC_PROG_CC_STDC and
3067 AC_C_CROSS.
3069 2002-04-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3071 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Invoke
3072 _AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE.
3074 2002-03-28 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3076 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Test with a typedef return value,
3077 to avoid versions of HP C which don't allow that.
3079 2002-03-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3081 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.
3082 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Invoke it.
3083 (AS_BASENAME): AS_REQUIRE it, and use $as_basename.
3085 2002-03-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3087 * doc/autoconf.texi (Portable Shell): Add pointers to FAQs.
3089 2002-03-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3091 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): The GNATS base moved.
3093 2002-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3095 * tests/m4sh.at: Don't rely on "PATH=test:$PATH test-1" working
3096 as POSIX requires, as it doesn't work with Zsh.
3097 * doc/autoconf.texi (Assignments): Document the problem.
3099 2002-03-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3101 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
3102 about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
3103 SHELL.
3105 2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3107 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
3108 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
3110 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
3111 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
3112 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.
3114 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3116 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): s/unknow/unknown/.
3117 From Aaron Ucko.
3119 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3121 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Specify the location in `&used'
3122 invocations.
3123 From Nicolas Joly.
3125 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3127 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust @code/@command, @xref/@ref usage.
3128 From Nishio Futoshi.
3130 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3132 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_define_default, m4_fst, m4_map): New.
3134 2002-03-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3136 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Add AS_MKDIR_P.
3137 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
3139 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
3140 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
3141 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
3142 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
3143 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
3144 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
3146 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
3147 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
3148 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
3149 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
3150 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
3152 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3154 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
3155 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
3156 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
3157 says 'times: not found'.
3159 2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3161 * bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
3162 (&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.
3163 Rerun aclocal if needed.
3164 Suggested by Andreas Schwab.
3166 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3168 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): More about IFS.
3170 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3172 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): New.
3173 Add information about stdint.h and inttypes.h from Paul Eggert.
3175 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3177 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about `cp
3178 -p'.
3179 From Bob Proulx.
3181 2002-03-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3183 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): AS_REQUIRE, not
3184 m4_require.
3186 2002-03-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3188 * configure.ac: Explicitly check for EMACS since AM_PATH_LISPDIR
3189 does not do it if --with-lispdir is given.
3191 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3193 Version 2.53.
3195 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3197 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Clarify that the
3198 subdirectory should exist.
3200 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3202 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.6.
3204 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3206 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
3207 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
3208 affect the latter.
3210 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3212 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
3213 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
3215 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3217 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,
3218 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
3219 * bin/ifnames.in: Copyright update.
3221 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3223 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): New.
3225 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3227 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Clarification suggested by
3228 Kevin Ryde.
3230 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3232 Version 2.52i.
3234 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3236 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS): New.
3237 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INIT): More informative error
3238 message for LIBOBJ.
3240 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3242 * lib/freeze.mk ($(build_libdir)/m4sugar/version.m4): New, for
3243 parallel builds.
3245 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3247 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
3248 and host is irrelevant.
3249 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
3250 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
3251 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
3252 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
3253 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
3254 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
3256 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3258 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
3259 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
3260 useless.
3261 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
3262 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
3263 evaluation is the current item.
3264 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
3266 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3268 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
3269 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
3271 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
3272 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
3273 the last...
3274 (m4_lquote): New.
3275 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
3276 efficient.
3277 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
3278 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
3279 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
3280 (m4_cdr): New.
3281 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
3282 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
3283 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
3285 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3287 * doc/autoconf.texi (Changequote is Evil): New.
3289 2002-03-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3291 * doc/autoconf.texi (Portable Shell): Mention 32-byte #! length limit
3292 on old systems like SunOS.
3294 2002-03-01 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3296 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
3297 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,

3299 lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/status.m4: Improve spelling
3300 of messages.
3302 2002-02-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3304 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Suggest a title to the
3305 message to be sent.
3307 2002-02-28 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3309 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add va_copy and va_list.
3311 2002-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3313 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): Fix the test.
3314 From Akinori Musha.
3316 2002-02-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3318 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (getline, getlines): New functions,
3319 translate \r\n to \n.
3321 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3323 Version 2.52h.
3325 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3327 Fix Autoconf PR/209.
3328 Also reported by Frank Denis.
3330 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Don't over quote.
3332 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3334 Fix Autoconf PR/207:
3335 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
3337 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
3338 variable when looking for the prefix program.
3339 Now it also works for shell variables.
3341 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3343 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): More about
3344 case/esac.
3346 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3348 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Don't output empty
3349 case/esac, some shells don't support it.
3350 Reported by Zack Weinberg.
3351 * tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS with empty commands): New.
3353 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3355 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): When handling --keywords, be
3356 sure not to introduce newlines in at_groups.
3357 * lib/autotest/Makefile.am (autotest.m4f): Typo.
3359 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3361 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Skip if aclocal
3362 is not available.
3364 2002-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3366 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specific Compiler Characteristics):
3367 Describe HP-UX cc bug workaround more accurately.
3368 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast to long,
3369 not unsigned long.
3370 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Check non-GCC
3371 cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
3372 to this file.
3374 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3376 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,
3377 to make sure they are up to date when `check' is run.
3379 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3381 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Document
3382 package.m4.
3384 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3386 * lib/freeze.mk: New.
3388 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3390 Implement `autom4te --freeze'.
3392 * bin/autom4te.in (&freeze): New.
3393 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4, lib/autotest/general.m4,
3394 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Don't include files given by autom4te.
3396 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3398 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Implement `frozen files are
3399 optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
3400 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
3401 (handle_m4): don't.
3402 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
3403 (M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
3404 (Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.
3406 2002-01-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3408 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Accept $4.
3409 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Adjust.
3411 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3413 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Map non
3414 alphanumeric to `-' instead of `_'.
3416 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3418 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Split into two tests: one
3419 for plain code, the other for cross-compilation code. The latter
3420 is now run with GCC only.
3421 * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors): New.
3423 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3425 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Support pre-defined
3426 values.
3427 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Explain how to
3428 change AC_INIT default values.
3430 2002-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3432 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use configure.in,
3433 so that aclocal 1.4 works.
3434 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz and Larry Schmitt.
3436 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3438 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
3439 needs an argument.
3441 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3443 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
3444 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
3445 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
3446 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
3447 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
3448 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
3449 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
3450 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
3451 useless.
3452 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.
3454 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3456 Version 2.52g.
3458 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3461 * doc/autoconf.texi: Finally add Akim as an author.
3463 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3465 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.
3466 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Don't expect $SHELL to be
3467 Bourne. Use /bin/sh.
3468 From Andreas Buening.
3470 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3472 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:
3473 Update from masters.
3475 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3477 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.5b.
3478 * config/auxdir.m4, config/cond.m4, config/depend.m4,

3480 * config/missing.m4, config/sanity.m4, config/select.m4,
3481 * config/strip.m4: Remove, to ease sync'ing with any version of
3482 Automake.

3486 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS)
3487 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Support -n as --no-create, as documented.
3488 Reported by Geir Ove Myhr.
3490 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3492 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): #Undef malloc.
3494 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3496 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Use a more GNUish error
3497 message on invalid options.

3517 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
3518 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
3519 configure.
3520 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
3521 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
3522 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
3524 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3526 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the AC_SUBST
3527 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
3528 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
3529 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
3530 arguments.
3531 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
3532 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.

3541 2002-01-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3543 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Improved wording regarding use of
3544 AC_OUTPUT.

3547 2001-12-18 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3549 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on sscanf
3550 sometimes needing writable input.
3552 2001-12-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3554 * doc/autoconf.texi (New Macros): Tweak wording.
3556 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3558 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
3559 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
3560 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
3561 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
3563 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
3565 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.
3567 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3569 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
3571 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3573 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename buildpath to
3574 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
3575 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.
3576 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
3577 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi, lib/autoconf/autotest.m4,
3578 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/autoreconf.in, tests/tools.at,
3579 * tests/wrappl.in, tests/wrapsh.in: Adjust.
3581 2001-12-12 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
3583 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT): Fix failed
3584 C/Fortran linking on HP/UX, by extracting the Fortran library
3585 search path from the LPATH line in the $F77 -v output.
3587 2001-12-12 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3589 * doc/autoconf.texi (File Descriptors): Use a clearer layout for the
3590 forbidden file descriptors table.
3592 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3594 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Build it at top level.
3595 Map to 1 in order to simplify its uses.
3597 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3599 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
3600 Remove $filepath, useless.
3601 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
3602 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
3603 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
3604 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
3605 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
3606 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
3607 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
3609 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3611 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
3612 Remove, replaced by...
3613 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
3614 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
3615 * configure.ac: Adjust.
3616 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
3618 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3620 * bin/autoscan.in (used): New.
3621 Use it.
3623 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3625 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file): Better parsing of CPP
3626 directives.
3627 (&scan_sh_file): Remove a duplicate pattern.
3628 (&check_configure_ac): Use long options.
3629 * lib/autoscan/headers (alloca.h): Check with AC_FUNC_ALLOCA.
3631 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3633 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_c_file): Fix the handling of C comments.
3634 Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
3635 comment made the whole line be ignored.
3637 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3639 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
3640 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.
3641 (Autotest Logs): New.
3643 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3645 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
3647 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
3648 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
3649 at_top_builddir.
3650 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
3651 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
3652 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
3653 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
3655 2001-11-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
3657 * doc/autoconf.texi, TODO, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
3658 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/headers.m4,
3659 tests/atgeneral.m4, tests/tools.at, tests/atspecific.m4: Fix
3660 spelling errors.
3662 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3664 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
3665 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
3667 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3669 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
3670 spotted by Jim Meyering.
3672 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3674 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
3676 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
3677 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
3678 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
3679 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
3680 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
3681 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
3682 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
3683 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
3684 * NEWS: Likewise.
3686 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3688 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
3689 hand.
3690 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
3692 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3694 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
3695 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
3697 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3699 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
3700 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
3701 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
3702 option.
3703 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
3704 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
3705 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
3706 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
3707 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
3708 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
3710 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3712 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
3713 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
3714 configure.ac.
3715 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
3717 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3719 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
3720 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
3721 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
3722 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
3723 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
3724 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
3726 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3728 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
3729 in PATH.
3730 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
3731 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
3732 suite.
3733 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
3735 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3737 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
3738 in place.
3740 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3742 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
3743 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
3745 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
3746 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
3747 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
3748 (AT_INIT): Adjust.
3749 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
3750 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
3752 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3754 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
3755 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
3756 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
3758 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
3759 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
3760 are new variables.
3761 Create the directories.
3762 Use absolute paths for at- files.
3763 (AT_CHECK): Adjust.
3765 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
3767 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
3768 (m4_car2): New.
3769 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
3771 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3773 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
3774 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
3776 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3778 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
3779 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
3780 __PROTOTYPES too.
3782 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3784 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
3786 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3788 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
3789 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
3790 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
3791 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
3792 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
3793 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
3795 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3797 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
3798 From Jim Meyering.
3800 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3802 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
3803 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
3804 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
3805 `missing' itself contains variables.
3807 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3809 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
3810 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
3811 the test suites.
3813 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3815 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
3816 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
3817 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
3818 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
3819 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3821 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3823 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
3824 processed only if present.
3825 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
3826 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
3827 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
3828 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3830 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3832 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
3833 doesn't accept .S files.
3835 2001-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3837 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_pattern_forbid): Accepts $2.
3838 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INTI): Forbid LIBOBJS.
3839 (_AC_LIBOBJ): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/.
3840 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): New.
3841 (handle_output): Use it.
3842 Read m4_pattern_forbid with messages.
3844 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3846 * bin/autom4te.in (--normalize): Remove.
3847 * lib/autom4te.in: Adjust.
3849 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3851 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Rename this target as...
3852 ($(TESTSUITE)): this.
3853 From Nicolas Joly.
3855 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3857 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
3858 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
3860 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3862 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Update.
3863 (Writing testsuite.at): Update.
3865 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3867 * doc/autoconf.texi: s/@code/@command/ where appropriate.
3869 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3871 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: (&catfile, &canonfile)
3872 (&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
3873 File::Spec.
3874 Use and export them.
3875 (&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
3876 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
3877 the arguments.
3878 Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
3879 (&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
3880 Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
3881 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
3883 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3885 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
3886 (@export_forward_subs): New.
3887 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
3888 (@EXPORT): Adjust.
3889 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
3890 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
3891 used.
3892 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
3893 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
3895 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3897 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
3898 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
3899 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
3900 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
3902 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3904 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
3906 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3908 Version 2.52f.
3910 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3912 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
3913 * config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
3914 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
3916 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3918 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
3919 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
3920 From Ezra Peisach.
3921 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
3923 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3925 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
3926 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
3927 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
3928 than character ranges.
3930 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
3931 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
3932 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
3933 behavior.
3934 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
3936 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3938 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
3939 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
3941 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
3942 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
3943 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
3944 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
3945 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
3946 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
3947 output and chmod failures.
3949 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
3950 the above.
3952 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3954 * tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
3955 handles it now.
3957 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3959 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
3960 AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
3961 provided, while it is optional.
3962 * configure.ac: Adjust.
3964 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3966 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
3967 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
3968 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
3969 with 5.005_02.
3971 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some

3974 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.

3995 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
3996 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
3997 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
3998 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
3999 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
4001 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):

4032 options.

4078 either behavior.

4343 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.
4344 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
4345 AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.

4447 2001-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4449 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4: Create `package.m4'.
4450 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): Remove.
4452 2001-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4454 Rely on `$LINENO' when possible instead of `__oline__'.
4456 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Provide some form of
4457 `$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
4458 (_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke
4459 them explicitly to be sure they are not output before this section
4460 (via m4_require). Cosmetic only.
4461 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
4462 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Replace all the occurrences of
4463 `__oline__' with `$LINENO'.
4464 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document LINENO.
4466 2001-09-21 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4468 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FORK): Replaceded an 8-bit
4469 character (u: -> ue) in a code comment.
4470 (AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK): Only run 'ln -s' if we know
4471 it works.
4473 2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4475 * Makefile.maint (AUTOM4TE): Neutralize autom4te.
4476 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
4478 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4480 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Use extensions listed in
4481 $ac_executable_extensions when looking for programs.

4487 setting up ac_dir_suffix and ac_top_builddir.
4488 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Default CDPATH to $PATH_SEPARATOR, not ':'.
4490 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4492 * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Clarify the use of
4493 PATH_SEPARATOR.
4494 (Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.
4495 (Special Shell Variables[CDPATH]): Mention that $PATH_SEPRATOR should
4496 be used instead of ':'.
4497 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Replace occurrences of ':' in
4498 AUTOTEST_PATH with $PATH_SEPARATOR at test suite startup.
4500 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4502 * tests/atgeneral.m4: Add basic support for test ranges (e.g. 7-34) as
4503 arguments. Fixed a typo.
4505 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4507 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not ':' to set up
4508 $PATH. Also set AUTOM4TE_CFG, so we can process autom4te properly.
4510 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4512 * bin/autoscan.in: Add 'exec-perl-if-not-run-by-perl'.

4519 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4521 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (open): Simplified the error message (we
4522 already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
4523 CR issues on DOSish systems).
4525 2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4527 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
4528 From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
4530 2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4532 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
4533 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
4534 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
4535 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
4537 * lib/autoconf/c.m4:
4538 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
4540 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
4541 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
4542 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
4544 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
4545 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
4546 to getpgrp.
4548 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
4549 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
4550 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
4551 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
4552 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
4554 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4556 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.
4558 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4564 2001-09-18 Paul Wagland <paul@wagland.net>
4566 * tests/m4sh.at: Ensure that AS_DIRNAME handles '/', '//' and '///'
4567 correctly.
4568 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
4569 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
4570 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
4571 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
4572 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
4573 one line out...
4574 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
4575 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
4577 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4579 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
4580 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
4581 This also solves the name clash problems.
4582 Don't set the package's ID.
4583 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
4584 No longer to be shipped.
4585 (version.in): Remove.
4586 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
4587 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.
4588 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
4589 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
4590 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
4591 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
4592 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
4593 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
4594 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.
4596 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4598 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Preselect AM_CONDITIONAL,
4599 AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.
4600 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't abort when a tested
4601 program version string doesn't match the package's.
4602 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Reestablish the space
4603 after `(cached)'.
4605 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4607 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
4608 Allow expression to return any value that can fit into unsigned long
4609 (not int, as before). Check for output errors.
4611 2001-09-17 Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>
4613 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
4614 Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
4615 the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
4616 fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
4617 Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
4619 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4621 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
4622 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
4623 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
4624 when they don't exist.
4626 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
4627 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
4628 need it.
4630 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
4631 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
4632 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
4633 we don't need it.
4635 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
4637 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4639 * tests/base.at, tests/m4sh.at: Be sure to issue the bangshe line
4640 _first_.
4641 Reported by Gerrit P. Haase.

4645 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Reset `AT_victims' so that

4661 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER, AC_CONFIG_LINKS):
4662 Likewise.
4663 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_REPLACEMENT_TYPE_P)
4664 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_MAYBE_TYPE_P, AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Likewise.
4665 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Rename AT_TESTS_ALL as
4666 AT_tests_all for consistency.

4668 (AT_VICTIMS): Similar to AT_KEYWORDS.
4669 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE_IF): Use m4_match and m4_re_escape.
4671 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4673 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Fix stupid bugs.
4675 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4677 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
4678 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple
4679 test suites can cohabit.
4681 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4683 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
4685 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4687 Test suites can be run independently of configure.
4689 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO, _AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): New.

4731 Spread a few keywords in the Autoconf test suite.
4733 2001-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4735 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't pass
4736 PATH_SEPARATOR, let M4sh compute it.
4737 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): New.
4738 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_SHELL_PATH_WALK): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.

4751 2001-09-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4754 doesn't neutralize SIGINT, making autoconf etc. non interruptible.
4755 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Move the package
4756 related variables into `at_package_*'.

4782 to avoid GCC warnings.
4783 From Uwe Seimet.
4785 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4789 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4791 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
4792 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
4794 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
4795 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
4797 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
4798 the wrong one.
4800 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to
4801 4m.

4821 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoscan Invocation): Adjust.
4823 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4828 New, extracted from main.
4829 Use IO::File wherever possible.
4830 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
4831 Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
4832 Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
4833 `unm4.m4'.
4835 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4837 Version 2.52d.

4862 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
4863 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
4864 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
4866 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4868 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
4869 inverse order.
4871 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4873 * bin/autoupdate.in (@include): `installcheck' revealed the path
4874 to m4sugar was lacking!
4876 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4878 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass
4879 autom4te_perllibdir.
4881 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4883 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to
4884 debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to
4885 run is stupid.
4887 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4889 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from `@include'.
4890 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
4891 Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.

4915 `print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
4916 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
4917 (autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
4918 the time stamps.
4919 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
4921 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4923 * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.
4924 Check the completeness of the #template.
4925 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/remove/unlink/.
4926 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Adjust AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER
4927 invocation.
4929 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4931 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &update_file): New.
4932 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
4933 Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
4934 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
4935 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
4936 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
4938 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4940 * bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.
4941 * tests/autoheader: Adjust.
4943 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4945 * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
4946 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
4947 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
4948 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
4949 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
4950 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
4951 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
4952 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
4953 * tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
4955 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4957 * bin/autoconf.in: Don't bother with `acsite.m4' and `aclocal.m4'.
4958 * bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
4959 optionally `FILE'.
4960 Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
4961 (&parse_args): Adjust.
4962 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
4964 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4966 * configure.ac: Also find tested executables in bin.
4967 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
4968 * bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
4969 installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
4970 Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
4971 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
4972 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
4973 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
4974 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
4975 find the executables for it.
4976 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
4977 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
4978 We only need PERL.
4979 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
4980 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
4981 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
4982 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
4983 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
4984 * tests/autoscan: New.
4985 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
4986 refer to library files: rely on --language.
4988 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4990 * bin/autom4te.in, lib/autom4te.in, bin/autoconf.in:
4991 s/--set/--language/.
4993 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4999 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5001 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): s/@__@/@&t@/.
5002 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
5004 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5006 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
5007 download in a tmp dir.
5009 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5011 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
5012 case insensitive OSes out there :(

5023 * bin/autoconf.in: Simplify and adjust.

5031 foo=`(command) 2>/dev/null`
5032 not

5034 (at-devnull): Rename as...
5035 (AT-devnull): this.
5036 (--clean): Remove AT-* files too.

5072 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Log the command line.
5073 Support `VAR=VAL' as arguments.
5074 Compute PATH _after_ the options processing, so that AUTOTEST_PATH
5075 may be set via the command line.
5077 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5079 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): $2 defaults to $1.

5093 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename `ac_dots' as

5095 readable.
5096 Adjust callers.
5097 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Actions): Document the vars
5098 available in commands.

5104 (Initializing configure): this new node.
5106 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5162 (AMTAR): Help automake define it.

5181 * bin/autoupdate.in: Distinguish M4sugar vs. Autoconf macros by
5182 the name of the directory they're in, instead of the filename,
5183 since version.m4 is now in m4sugar, but m4_acversion must not be
5184 classified as an Autoconf macro.
5185 ($input_m4): Don't qualify the path to m4sugar.
5186 Rather, pass autoconf_dir to m4.
5187 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Remove -I top_srcdir, unneeded.

5202 of config.log on traps.
5203 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use AS_BOX.

5259 * configure.ac (AT_CONFIG): Fix the path.
5260 * m4/atconfig.m4 (AT_CONFIG): Don't use EOF but ATEOF so that 2.52

5267 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE. Cleanup grep usage.
5269 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5271 * ChangeLog, ChangeLog.0, ChangeLog.1, ChangeLog.2, AUTHORS, BUGS,
5272 * NEWS, README, README-alpha, TODO, tests/README: This package is
5273 `Autoconf', not `autoconf' (the executable).
5275 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5277 Info readers seem to need `Index' in the index node title :(
5279 * doc/autoconf.texi: Reverse the 2001-08-15 change which
5280 simplified index node names.
5282 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5289 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5291 * doc/autoconf.texi (Examining Declarations) <AC_TRY_CPP>:
5292 (Examining Syntax) <AC_TRY_COMPILE>
5293 (Examining Libraries) <AC_TRY_LINK>
5294 (Test Programs) <AC_TRY_RUN>: These macros double quote some of

5324 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5326 Huh!?!?! There are still some user EOF tags used, which prevents
5327 their use in AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS for instance...
5329 * lib/autoconf/general.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
5330 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Rename the EOF tags as `_ACEOF',
5331 `_CSEOF', or `_ATEOF', as appropriate.

5343 Autotest invokes M4sh's initialization.
5345 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Adjust the diversion names.

5393 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Refer to `$as_me.log', not
5394 `$0.log' as for projects where testsuite is in src, we'd have
5395 testsuite.log created in src.

5399 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Recognize --normalize.

5411 * doc/autoconf.texi: Work around Texinfo buglets.
5412 (Transformation Rules): One example is enough, users are expected
5413 to have their brains on. And BTW, use DESTDIR.
5414 (dvar): New macro. Use it.

5455 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5457 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): sprintf's return
5458 value.
5459 From Kevin Ryde.
5461 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5463 * Makefile.maint (CVS): New.
5464 (local-check): Run changelog-check. last.

5466 (cvs-dist): depends upon it.
5468 2001-08-15 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5470 * tests/Makefile.am: Use a clean-local rule to remove
5471 autom4te.cache (it's a directory, not a file.
5472 * Makefile.am: Ditto (but maintainer-clean-local).
5474 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5476 * bin/autom4te.in (@m4_warning): New.
5477 (&handle_m4): Use it.
5478 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn): Pass `-f' to autom4te to ensure the
5479 warnings are issued at each run.
5480 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): M4sugar
5481 is in the src tree.
5483 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5485 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Perl is now required:
5486 don't waste time running `autoupdate --version' works.
5487 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Likewise.
5489 2001-08-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5546 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
5548 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5550 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
5551 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
5552 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
5553 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
5555 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5557 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
5558 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
5559 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
5561 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5563 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
5564 effects.
5565 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
5567 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
5569 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
5570 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
5572 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5574 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
5575 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
5577 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5579 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
5581 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5583 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
5584 removed.
5585 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
5586 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
5587 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
5588 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
5589 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
5591 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5593 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
5594 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
5595 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
5597 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
5598 Dump information on the first run of each test.
5599 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
5600 test group.
5602 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5604 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
5605 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
5606 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
5607 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
5609 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
5610 does not like `' instead of [].
5611 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
5612 And don't output such tokens.
5613 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
5614 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
5615 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
5616 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
5617 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
5618 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
5620 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5622 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
5624 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5626 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
5628 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5630 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
5631 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
5632 AC_TRY_LINK.
5633 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
5634 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
5635 (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
5637 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5639 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
5640 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
5641 files.
5643 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
5644 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
5645 (@Request::source): Rename as...
5646 (@Request::input): this.
5647 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
5648 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
5649 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
5650 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
5651 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
5653 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5655 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
5656 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
5658 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
5659 (Request::id): this.
5660 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
5661 (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
5662 (&handle_output): Adjust.
5663 (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
5664 (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
5665 Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
5667 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5669 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
5670 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
5671 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
5672 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
5674 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5676 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
5677 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
5678 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
5680 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
5681 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
5682 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
5683 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
5684 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
5685 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
5686 (&mtime): New, export it.
5687 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
5688 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
5689 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
5691 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5693 Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
5694 must be proposed to the users.
5696 * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
5697 (@preselect): New.
5698 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
5699 (&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
5700 * bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
5702 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5704 * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
5705 macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
5706 lines arguments.
5708 2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5710 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without
5711 arguments.
5713 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5715 * bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
5716 From Nicolas Joly.
5718 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5720 Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.
5722 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins
5723 trace requests.
5724 (@m4_builtins): Rename as...
5725 (@m4_builtin): this.
5726 (%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New.
5727 (&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names.
5728 (&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here.
5729 (&trace_requests): Remove, unused.
5731 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5733 * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit,
5734 m4_if, and m4_wrap.
5736 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5738 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): Also forbid `_m4_*' tokens.
5739 (m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
5740 mismatch happens.
5741 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
5742 occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
5743 Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
5744 the appear in the output.
5745 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
5746 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
5747 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
5748 autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
5749 Check that `dnl' is caught.
5751 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5753 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52c.
5755 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5757 Version 2.52b.
5759 * lib/Autom4te/Makefile.am (perllibdir): s/Autoconf/Autom4te/.

5765 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5768 `die'.
5769 (&END): New.
5770 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Remove your
5771 `END', as `Autom4te::General::END' will be triggered.
5772 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Improve error messages accuracy.
5773 * bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of

6165 compiler, not the preprocessor.

6208 cross-language link tests can be performed successfully.
6209 (_AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Require AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN. Also put $FLIBS
6210 after $LIBS, for consistency; this should be the general rule since

6222 * aclang.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION): Only add declaration to

6292 5.3.
6294 2001-06-23 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
6296 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Defer parsing of

6329 ./configure --program-suffix=foo produces `transform=s,$$,foo,;',
6330 but some sed choke on multiple `;', and other tools (e.g.,
6331 Automake), include the separator themselves.
