25 (Portable Shell): Mention the Posix shell.
27 2006-04-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
29 * bin/autoconf.as (me): Replace by as_me.
31 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
33 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Don't use AS_ERROR,
34 since as_me isn't set yet.
36 2006-04-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
38 Prepare for deprecation of AS_BASENAME and AS_DIRNAME, and fix
39 a few minor bugs in this area.
41 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Comment out the
42 documentation of AS_BASENAME, for now.
43 (Shell Substitutions): Do not use AS_DIRNAME in an example.
44 (Limitations of Builtins) <basename>: Do not refer to
45 AS_BASENAME.
46 * bin/autoconf.as (me): Don't use AS_BASENAME.
47 (dir): Remove the unused variable.
48 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_REQUIRED): Renamed from
49 AS_DETECT_REQUIRED. All uses changed.
50 (_AS_DETECT_SUGGESTED): Renamed from AS_DETECT_SUGGESTED.
51 All uses changed.
52 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Put ;; at the end of a case.
53 (AS_BASENAME): Use "basename --" to protect against leading "-".
54 (_AS_BASENAME_EXPR): Renamed from AS_BASENAME_EXPR. All uses changed.
55 (_AS_BASENAME_SED): Renamed from AS_BASENAME_SED. All uses changed.
56 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): Reject implementations that cannot handle "--".

59 (_AS_DIRNAME_SED): Renamed from AS_DIRNAME_SED. All uses changed.
60 (AS_DIRNAME): Use "dirname --".
62 2006-04-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
64 * doc/autoconf.texi (Runtime): Renamed from "Run Time". All uses
65 of "run time" and "run-time" changed to "runtime", for consistency.
66 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4: Likewise (in comment).
67 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Likewise.
68 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Likewise.
69 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Likewise.
71 * doc/autoconf.texi (Run Time): Document the exit status situation
72 with more accuracy and detail.
74 2006-04-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
76 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): The GNU Autoconf Macro
77 Archive is not officially `GNU' any more. Update URL.
78 (Defining Directories): Likewise
79 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_RESTRICT): Update URL.
81 2006-04-19 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
83 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Remove the leading
84 newline from the `trap' code to finish `config.log'; the NetBSD
85 /bin/sh resets the exit status after an empty command, as
86 documented in doc/autoconf.texi.
87 Reported by Dalibor Topic <robilad@kaffe.org>.
89 2006-04-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
91 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Clarify AC_C_TYPEOF.
92 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
94 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
96 * configure.ac (ac_cv_sh_n_works): Don't try to test for it, since
97 some shells (e.g., Solaris 8 /bin/sh) implement it verrrry slowly.
98 Instead, just list the shells that we know work.
99 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX): Remove 2nd arg. All uses
100 changed. Be more cautious about the _cv_ variable.
101 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the shell scripts): Check the
102 _cv_ variable once, at first, to avoid an internal autoconf error
103 when sh -n does not work.
105 2006-04-17 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
107 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: Sync from Automake.
109 2006-04-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
111 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_CONFIG_LOG): Don't
112 use ">&-" since we're only 99.999% sure that this is portable,
113 and since the MinGW bug is fixed in a different way.
114 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
116 2006-04-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
118 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Handle --recheck
119 before opening config.log, to avoid hitting a bug on MinGW.
121 2006-04-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
123 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_CONFIG_LOG): Close
124 AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD before reopening it onto the log file.
125 This works around a MinGW bug reported by Eric Paire.
126 Make sure that all writes to the log file append to it,
127 rather than possibly losing data.
128 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
130 2006-04-14 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
132 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (find_file): Fix a typo in the
133 description.
135 2006-04-13 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
137 * NEWS: Update.
139 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 2.59d.
141 2006-04-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
143 Version 2.59c.
145 2006-04-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
146 and Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
148 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE): If the templates for
149 the instantiated file do not contain the string 'datarootdir'
150 but contain @datadir@, @docdir@, @infodir@, @localedir@, or
151 @mandir@, replace the reference '${datarootdir}' by the value.
152 * tests/torture.at (datarootdir workaround): New test.
153 * NEWS: Advertise this temporary fixup.
154 Based on a patch by Bruno Haible, reported and analyzed by
155 Paul Eggert and Noah Misch.
157 2006-04-12 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
159 * tests/autotest.at (Debugging a failed test): Fix comment.
161 2006-04-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
163 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LN_S_PREPARE): Simplify the summary of
164 all the changes since 2006-04-07.
166 2006-04-11 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
168 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LN_S_PREPARE): If `ln -s file1 file2'
169 succeeded, but `ln -s file dir' failed, take care to remove the
170 leftover target before the next test, to prevent its spurious
171 failure; also make sure `ln file dir' works before selecting it.
172 Thanks to Keith Marshall for pointing this out.
173 * THANKS: Update.
175 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Store quoted variable
176 assignments in `at_debug_args', so that we put them correctly
177 in the `run' script.
178 * tests/autotest.at (Debugging a failed test): Unmark XFAIL.
179 Reported by Eric Blake.
181 2006-04-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
183 * tests/autotest.at (AT_CHECK_AT): Add new argument, to allow
184 top-level tests after micro-suite has been run. Used in...
185 (Debugging a successful test, Debugging script and environment),
186 (Debugging a failed test): ...these new tests. The first of these
187 is fixed by...
188 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CREATE_DEBUGGING_SCRIPT): New
189 macro, split out from...
190 (AT_INIT): ...here, so that using -d also generates a run script.
191 Document that -d inhibits top-level logging.
192 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Document that -d only
193 inhibits top-level logging; debug scripts are created.
195 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CHECK): Avoid syntax error on empty
196 check.
197 * tests/autotest.at (Empty test, Empty check): New test to check it.
199 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_CONST, AC_C_VOLATILE): Avoid warnings
200 from gcc.
202 2006-04-10 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
204 * tests/mktests.sh: Use "trap '' 0", not "trap 0". Do not touch
205 the files if a problem appears. Make the empty *.at files
206 read-only, too. Proposed by Ralf Wildenhues.
208 2006-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
210 * config/Makefile.am: Add comment to force updated Makefile.in.
212 * lib/freeze.mk: Fix typo in comment. Unlike the last, white
213 space only patch to this file, this patch causes the Makefile.in
214 files that include freeze.mk to be updated, and thus have a
215 newer time stamp again, which in turn makes a pristine CVS
216 checkout have correct time stamps.
218 * Makefile.maint (cvs-sv): New macro, to be used..
219 (config.guess-url_prefix, config.sub-url_prefix)
220 (texinfo.tex-url_prefix, standards.texi-url_prefix): ..here;
221 point to CVS text checkout of Gnulib files.
222 (copyright-check): Bump current year.
223 (announcement): Do not hard-wire `./announce-gen'.
224 (cvs-update): Propagate failures of `cvs' and `move-if-change'
225 correctly.
226 * Makefile.cfg (executable-update): Use `chmod a+x' instead of
227 `chmod +x'.
228 (wget_files): Update config.guess, config.sub, texinfo.tex by
229 `wget-update', now that their URLs work again.
231 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
233 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Types): Don't use AC_CHECK_TYPE.
234 Problem noted by Paul D. Smith.
236 2006-04-10 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
238 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove unused words from word list.
239 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, .x-sc_space_tab, .x-sc_sun_os_names,
240 .x-sc_trailing_space: New files.
242 * doc/standards.texi: Sync from gnulib.
244 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (AC_LIBOBJ vs LIBOBJS): Mark
245 `LIBOBJDIR' as experimental.
247 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LN_S_PREPARE): MSYS `ln -s' fails
248 with a target directory; it's internally implemented as `cp'
249 anyway, but since Autoconf advertises the possibility to use
250 a target directory when LN_S is `ln -s', we need to find out.
251 Reported by Rolf Ebert <rolf.ebert.gcc@gmx.de> against MSYS,
252 analyzed by Keith Marshall <keith.marshall@total.com>.
254 * THANKS: Update.
256 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
258 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Just output
259 confdefs.h as-is. In general, if it has backslash-newline or the
260 like, then it doesn't work either to sort or to remove empty
261 lines.
263 2006-04-09 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
265 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOCONF_FILES): Fix typo in the comment.
267 2006-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
269 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
270 _AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE.
272 2006-04-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
274 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use '\'' for an
275 apostrophe within a single-quoted string, as this is the usual
276 tradition and is easier to read than '"'"'. Don't rely on the
277 shell treating "$/" like '$/'. Use a more-consistent indenting
278 style for the trap.
280 2006-04-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
282 * tests/autotest.at (Backquote command substitution),
283 (Multiline backquote command substitution): Remove mistaken
284 AT_NO_CMDSUBST from the 2006-03-14 patch, which was meant to be
285 applied...
286 (Parenthetical command substitution, Multiline parenthetical
287 command substitution): here.
289 2006-04-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
291 Import macros from gnulib (often changing their name).
293 * NEWS: AC_C_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE is now obsolete.

307 (Generic Functions): Add AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE. Refer to new
308 Gnulib section.
309 (Particular Headers): Add AC_HEADER_ASSERT. For stdbool.h,
310 suggest a #define rather than a typedef for _Bool, and mention
311 Gnulib rather than trying to substitute stdbool code.
312 (Generic Headers): Add AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE.
313 (Generic Declarations): Add AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE.
314 (Particular Structures): Add AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_INO,
315 AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
316 (Particular Types): Mention stdint.h and inttypes.h as standard
317 headers too.
318 Add AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, AC_TYPE_INT64_T,
319 AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T, AC_TYPE_INTPTR_T, AC_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE,
320 AC_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE_WIDER, AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT, AC_TYPE_UINT8_T,
321 AC_TYPE_UINT16_T, AC_TYPE_UINT32_T, AC_TYPE_UINT64_T,
322 AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T, AC_TYPE_UINTPTR_T, AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
323 (C Compiler): Move AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE to ...
324 (Obsolete Macros): here. Under AC_LONG_DOUBLE, mention
325 AC_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE or AC_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE_WIDER instead.
326 (Posix Variants): Add AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.
327 (Coding Style). Don't mention m4_expand_once.
328 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Implement via

338 Catch a bug in IBM AIX xlc compiler version 6.0.0.0.
339 Catch a bug in an HP-UX C compiler.
340 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS): New macro.
341 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T. AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T):
342 (AC_TYPE_INTPTR_T, AC_TYPE_UINTPTR_T. AC_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE):
343 (AC_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE_WIDER, AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE, AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT):
344 (AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT, _AC_TYPE_INT, _AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_INT):
345 (_AC_STRUCT_DIRENT, AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_INO, AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE):
346 New macros.
348 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list, au_exclude_list): Do not
349 use /^foo|bar$/, it does not mean /^(foo|bar)$/.
351 2006-04-08 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
353 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Fix the wording
354 of the warning introduced by the 2001-08-28 change.
356 2006-04-08 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>,
357 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
359 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_SAVE): All `ac_cv_env_foo'
360 variables shall be overriden by the cache.
361 * tests/torture.at (AC_ARG_VAR): Test also with a first value
362 that contains braces.
364 2006-04-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
366 Revert the patch from 2006-04-01 and only improve
367 _AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL:
369 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Do not optimize; do not
370 skip nonexistent directories.
371 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): The optimization is moved here--try
372 only shell candidates which exist.
373 (AS_UNAME): No need to give three parameters to _AS_PATH_WALK.
374 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): No need to give three
375 parameters to _AS_PATH_WALK.
377 2006-04-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>,
378 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
380 * bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_patches): Change the way we
381 distinguish m4sugar macros.
382 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating with aclocal and m4_include):
383 New test. Bug reported by Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>,
384 test case by Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>.
386 2006-04-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
388 Revert my change from 2006-03-17, in other words:
389 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Insert BIN_SH=xpg4
390 and DUALCASE=1.
391 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Remove DUALCASE=1.
392 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables) <BIN_SH>: Say that
393 it is set.
395 2006-04-07 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
397 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document that
398 AS_MKDIR_P exits the script on failure.
399 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Remove redundant AS_ERROR.
401 2006-04-07 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
403 * config/elisp-comp, config/install-sh, config/mdate-sh,
404 config/missing, config/mkinstalldirs: Sync from Automake.
406 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm, lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Sync
407 from Automake.
409 * doc/make-stds.texi: Sync from gnulib.
411 2006-04-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
413 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Inside cache
414 check, s/ac_exeext/ac_cv_exeext/. Fixes regression introduced
415 2006-04-01.
417 2006-04-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>,
418 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>,
419 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>,
420 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
422 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_CACHE_DUMP): Fix the detection of
423 whether `set' quotes correctly: redirect stderr of the tested
424 `set', and use a subshell, for Ultrix; use `sed' instead of
425 `grep' for zsh `set' which may write binary output; match only
426 at the beginning of a line, to avoid false positives.
427 In order to avoid false positives by unrelated variables with
428 multiline content, put the dump algorithm in a subshell and
429 unset all variables containing newlines (except some which are
430 special to the shell). Warn about cache variables that are
431 unset.
433 2006-04-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
435 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:
436 Sync from upstream.
438 * tests/mktests.sh: Reword comments.
440 * tests/mktests.sh: Only skip internal macros starting with
441 `_AC_' or `__AC_'. Noted by Stepan Kasal.
442 Update exclusion lists for the test suite to this end:
443 (AC_ARG_VAR): Do test this now.
444 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS, AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Need an argument.
445 (AC_LINKER_OPTION): Remove (renamed to _AC_LINKER_OPTION).
446 (AC_LIST_MEMBER_OF): Likewise (renamed to _AC_LIST_MEMBER_IF).
447 (AC_LINK_FILES): Obsoleted since (and thus AU_DEFUN'ed).
449 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Mention the MSYS
450 shell issue with double-quoted command substitutions of native
451 commands.
452 Reported to MSYS by Mark Cave-Ayland, to Autoconf by Keith
453 Marshall.
455 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Do not fail when
456 no file matches the glob, discard the warning, set `nullglob'.
457 (syntax-check): Likewise.
458 (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Likewise.
459 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_error_exit_success)
460 (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4, .re-list, sc_unmarked_diagnostics)
461 (m4-check): Likewise.
462 (sc_system_h_headers): Do not print rule on execution.
463 (sc_tight_scope): Do not fail for non-existing `src' directory.
464 (sc_changelog): Skip the Copyright footer.
465 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Remove trailing space.
467 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: More replacements to

488 inside m4_expand_once; it is redundant.
490 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Remove the broken support
491 for --help from Cygnus `configure.'
493 2006-04-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

549 generate tests for AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING and AC_FUNC_LSTAT.
550 (exclude_list): Exclude empty macros.
551 (ac_exclude_list): Exclude AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.

638 initial `rm' of the candidate files...
639 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): ... here and simplify them. Moreover, use
640 the same list in subsequent `rm' calls, and for the temporary

648 (AC_NO_EXECUTABLES): Redefine _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_TESTS, not
649 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT.

688 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Document it.
690 * doc/autoconf.texi: Use `Cygwin', `MinGW', and `license' consistently.

720 Kristian Kvilekval <kris@cs.ucsb.edu>.
722 2006-04-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
724 * bin/autoupdate.in: Handle m4 builtins and m4sugar macros together--
725 switch all of them on and of when necessary. Fixes the bug when

855 `@setcontentsaftertitlepage' for HTML.

924 trying to execute the command `no'.
926 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (AC_LANG_CONFTEST): AC_DEFUN this, not

1408 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions}: Document that ${10} is
1409 not portable; thanks to Paul Eggert and Alexandre.
1411 * NEWS: Fix an old typo.
1413 2005-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1415 * doc/autoconf.texi: Typo: s/feature/features/ in ``the features of
1416 the latter'', in two places.
1418 2005-10-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1420 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generating Sources): AC_LANG_PROGRAMS ->
1421 AC_LANG_PROGRAM, fixing a typo. Don't give details about
1422 the inner workings of AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY.
1423 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_CALL(C)): Reformat to match
1424 AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY. This involves returning the value returned
1425 by the function rather than ignoring it.
1426 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Call the function rather than simply
1427 comparing its address. Intel's interprocedural optimization was
1428 outsmarting the old heuristic. Problem reported by
1429 Mikulas Patocka.
1431 2005-10-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1433 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST): Remove an obsolete comment.
1435 2005-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1437 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_map): New macro.
1438 (m4_map, m4_map_sep): Use it. Handle the empty list correctly.
1440 2005-10-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1442 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Really make the subtree writable
1443 before removing it (chmod -R u+rwx); there are three instances of this.
1445 2005-10-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1446 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1448 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Balance parentheses.
1449 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): If the test dir already exists,
1450 make its content writable before removing it. Remove an errorneous
1451 comment from the end, where the logs of the failed tests are copied
1452 to the main log file.
1454 2005-09-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1456 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Pass --force to autoheader,
1457 in case the computer is too quick. Double quote the configure.ac
1458 snippets.
1460 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Always pass --force to prevent
1461 problems if the testsuite were running too fast.
1463 2005-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1465 * lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Look for X11/Xlib.h
1466 and XrmInitialize rather than X11/Intrinsic.h and XtMalloc
1467 (which belong to Xt, not X itself). See Debian bug 327655.
1468 * NEWS: Mention this.
1470 2005-09-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1472 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_SOURCE(C)): Remove an incorrect comment.
1474 2005-09-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1476 * config/move-if-change: Don't output "$2 is unchanged";
1477 suggested by Ben Elliston. Handle weird characters correctly.
1479 2005-09-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1481 * lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Merge the two AC_LINK_IFELSE
1482 calls, so that the final expansion of this macro is shorter.
1483 Create the conftest.$ac_ext outside the `for' loop, to speed the run.
1484 Do not use `break' in the argument to AC_LINK_IFELSE, it would skip
1485 the cleanup there. Use AS_VAR_* macros, to be more general.
1486 * tests/semantics.at (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Check for the cleanup.
1488 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Use AS_IF where appropriate.
1490 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_IF): Use m4_default.
1492 2005-09-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1494 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Headers): Add an index entry
1495 for AH_HEADER.
1497 2005-08-26 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
1499 * lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): Use shell variable
1500 XMKMF to locate xmkmf. Make XMKMF precious. Export CC when
1501 running xmkmf.
1503 2005-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1505 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_VERSION_COMPARE_PREPARE):
1506 The previous patch didn't work, so try a better one.
1508 2005-08-26 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1510 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh) <AS_TR_CPP>: Fix m4 quoting
1511 in the example. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1512 <AS_TR_SH>: Likewise. Also modify the example to be more convincing:
1513 "if $undefined_var;" succeeds with my shell.
1515 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST,
1516 AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Define by AC_DEFUN, no need to use AC_DEFUN_ONCE;
1517 but change the m4_divert_text to m4_divert_once.
1519 2005-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1521 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_VERSION_COMPARE_PREPARE):
1522 Work around bug in Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.
1523 The bug is present in at least Solaris 8 through 10.
1525 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1527 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT): Simplify; rejecting
1528 some evil values and relying on the fact that $* concatenates the
1529 parameters by the first character from IFS.
1531 2005-08-23 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>,
1532 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1534 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_REGISTER_DEST): When the
1535 first header appears, define AH_HEADER.
1536 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Headers): Document AH_HEADER.
1537 Update limitations about when to call AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
1538 (Configuration Commands): Document that AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE
1539 parameter can call AC_SUBST, AC_DEFINE, or AC_CONFIG_FOOS; explain
1540 that AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE and AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST are not
1541 ``Configuration Actions''; fix their index entries.
1543 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Process multiple keywords
1544 options correctly. Process N-M as M-N if M is smaller than N.
1545 Process ranges correctly so that N-N will run only N.
1546 Sort and uniquify the tests that will be run. If there is more
1547 than one test, reinsert the banners for the tests.
1548 * tests/autotest.at (Keywords): Unmark XFAIL.
1550 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1552 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_DEFINE_Q): Strip the parameter list
1553 before passing the macro name to AH_TEMPLATE.
1555 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): config.status
1556 now opens log after option processing; in particular, --version
1557 and --help do not touch config.log.
1559 * Makefile.maint: Revert the change from 2005-08-12.
1561 2005-08-22 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1563 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH): Factor out
1564 common code to...
1565 (_AC_ENABLE_IF, _AC_ENABLE_IF_ACTION): ... these new macros.

1569 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using Autotest, testsuite Scripts)
1570 (Autotest Logs, Writing testsuite.at, testsuite Invocation):
1571 Language cleanup.
1573 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols, Changed Results):
1574 Prepend to LIBS, not append, in examples.
1576 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1578 When building in place, set srcdir="."; suggested by Tim Van Holder.
1580 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Do this; to recognize
1581 build in place, we need ac_pwd, and thus have to AC_REQUIRE ...
1582 (_AC_INIT_DIRCHECK): ... this macro and AC_DEFUN both of them.
1583 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCDIRS): Fix a comment: srcdir="."
1584 does not mean "no --srcdir option".
1586 2005-08-15 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1588 * tests/autoscan.at (autoscan): New file.
1589 * tests/suite.at: Use it.
1590 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_HAND_AT): Add it.
1591 Reported against Libtool by Gideon Go <gideon.go@gmail.com>.
1593 * tests/autotest.at (Keywords): Test keywords combinations.
1595 2005-08-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1597 * Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): When checking the help text of gzip,
1598 add "2>&1"; gzip 1.2.4 prints help on stderr.
1600 2005-07-27 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1602 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_DECIDE_TRACEABLE): The symbol at_reason
1603 was pushdef'ed twice while popped only once. Push it only once.
1604 (_AT_CHECK): Cosmetic changes to the "case $at_status" command.
1606 2005-07-26 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1608 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): The message is now

1613 * Makefile.maint: Update from Bison.
1615 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_strip): Comment fix---change tab to
1616 "<tab>" in comment, so that the point is understandable.
1618 2005-07-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1620 Rewrite substantial part of lib/autoconf/status.m4.
1621 The main change is that CONFIG_FILES, CONFIG_HEADERS, CONFIG_LINKS,
1622 and CONFIG_COMMANDS are not processed in four separate loops.
1623 Instead, there is one main loop. This alows that the common code
1624 is expanded only once, thus config.status (and configure) is smaller.
1626 The registration mechnism in AC_CONFIG_FILES and cousins also changed;
1627 the AC_LIST_FILES and cousins macros are no longer used.
1629 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS,
1630 _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Renamed to ...
1631 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADER, _AC_OUTPUT_LINK,
1632 _AC_OUTPUT_COMMAND): ..., respectively. These macros no longer
1633 contain the initialization, nor the for loop, nor the associated
1634 commands; all these go to ...
1635 (_AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP): ... this new macro, called from
1636 _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS.
1637 (_AC_CONFIG_SPLIT, _AC_CONFIG_SPLIT_SOURCE_DEST, _AC_CONFIG_SPLIT_FILE_IN):
1638 Nuked; the code was merged into _AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP.
1639 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILE): The creation of the sed script ...
1640 (AC_OUTPUT): ... and the setup of ac_vpsub goes to ...
1641 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): ... a new macro, also called from
1642 _AC_OUTPUT_MAIN_LOOP.
1643 (_AC_CONFIG_FILES, _AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, _AC_CONFIG_LINKS,
1644 _AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS): Use ...
1645 (_AC_CONFIG_FOOS): ... this new macro, which uses these ...
1646 (_AC_CONFIG_REGISTER, _AC_CONFIG_REGISTER_DEST): ... new macros.
1647 (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER, _AC_CONFIG_LINK,
1648 _AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_DEPENDENCIES): No longer needed.
1649 (_AC_CONFIG_DEPENDENCY): Update, it uses these ...
1650 (_AC_CONFIG_DEPENDENCY_DEFAULT, _AC_FILE_DEPENDENCY_TRACE_COLON):
1651 ... new macros.
1652 (_AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Update.
1653 (AC_LIST_FILES, AC_LIST_HEADERS, AC_LIST_LINKS, AC_LIST_COMMANDS):
1654 Replaced by this ...
1655 (_AC_LIST_TAGS): ... new common macro.
1656 (AC_LIST_FILE_COMMANDS, AC_LIST_HEADER_COMMANDS, AC_LIST_LINK_COMMANDS,
1657 AC_LIST_COMMAND_COMMANDS): Replaced by this ...
1658 (_AC_LIST_TAG_COMMANDS): ... new common macro.
1659 (_AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_INIT): Moved top to the `registration' section;
1660 this didn't belong to the `config commands' section.
1661 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_INIT): Don't initialize, m4_ifdef is our friend.
1662 (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE, AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE,
1663 AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST): Moved to a new section, these didn't belong
1664 to the `config commands' section either.
1665 (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Don't touch diversion DEFAULTS.
1666 (_AC_LIST_SUBDIRS): Don't initialize, m4_ifdef is our friend.
1668 ... and many changes to the comments nearby.
1670 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): At the end of the day,
1671 set ac_subdirs_all='_AC_LIST_SUBDIRS'.
1672 * tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_FILES, HEADERS, LINKS and COMMANDS):
1673 AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS(command:input,...) is no longer allowed.
1674 (#define header templates): The comment at the top of the generated
1675 header now includes the name(s) of the source file(s).
1677 Several unrelated small changes:
1679 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Be didactic, quote the first
1680 parameter to AC_DIAGNOSE.
1681 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Likewise.
1682 (_AC_LINK_FILES_CNT): Don't AU_DEFUN this; it causes confusing messages
1683 with autoupdate; use m4_define_default inside AU_DEFUNed AC_LINK_FILES.
1684 (AC_OUTPUT): In the compatibility code, use m4_ifvaln, to be consistent
1685 with AU::AC_OUTPUT.
1686 (AU::AC_OUTPUT): Don't double-quote $2 and $3, the compatibility code
1687 in AC_OUTPUT doesn't double-quote it either.
1688 * tests/tools.at (autoupdate): AU::AC_OUTPUT no longer double-quotes the
1689 parameters.
1691 2005-07-10 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1693 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Document which
1694 versions of Portland Group compiler produce single- and double-quoted
1695 -cmdline argument. Reported by Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
1696 and Ole Holm Nielsen <Ole.H.Nielsen@fysik.dtu.dk>.
1698 2005-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1700 * tests/local.at (AT_CONFIG_CMP): Ignore lines like "LIBS=''" too.
1701 This is a corrected version of yesterday's patch.
1703 2005-07-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1705 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Report the full
1706 path, too; insert a "===" to emphasize the line.
1708 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Rename
1709 ac_cv_build_alias to ac_build_alias.
1710 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Simplify.
1712 On 2005-02-24, an unintentional AC_SUBST([CC]) was introduced; this
1713 change eliminates it. Problem reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1714 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_ARG_VAR_PRECIOUS): Move the AC_SUBST ...
1715 (AC_ARG_VAR): ... here.
1716 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Call AC_SUBST for build_alias, host_alias and
1717 target_alias.
1719 Keep a list of all precious variables and process them with one simple
1720 for loop, instead of expanding all commands, or, OTOH, complicated
1721 processing of output of "set".
1722 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_ARG_VAR_PRECIOUS): Acumulate the
1723 variable names in new macro...
1724 (_AC_PRECIOUS_VARS): ... which will be assigned to ac_precious_vars.
1725 (_AC_ARG_VAR_STORE): New macro which writes to diversion PARSE_ARGS
1726 a loop to assign all ac_env_* and ac_cv_env_* variables.
1727 (_AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE): Use shell variable ac_precious_vars, divert
1728 to INIT_PREPARE.
1729 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): At the end, if _AC_PRECIOUS_VARS is set, assign
1730 its value to shell variable ac_precious_vars and call
1731 _AC_ARG_VAR_STORE and _AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE.
1732 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Don't call
1733 _AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE.
1735 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Move AC_LANG_PUSH(C)
1736 and the AC_SUBSTs ...
1737 (AC_INIT): ... here.
1739 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Changed the title of
1740 the ac_subst_files section in config.log.
1742 * tests/local.at (AT_CONFIG_CMP): Revert Paul's previous change.
1744 2005-07-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1746 * NEWS: New macro AC_C_TYPEOF.
1747 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document AC_C_TYPEOF.

1751 Fix problems reported by Nicolas Joly.
1752 * tests/base.at (Input/Output): Ignore 'loading site script' chatter.
1753 * tests/local.at (AT_CONFIG_CMP): Ignore lines like "LIBS=''" too.
1754 They are generated by the Tru64 v5.1B shell.
1756 2005-07-05 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1758 Fix my changes from 2005-07-01; reported by Noah Misch.
1759 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_DEPENDENCIES): Fix the
1760 description, the macro now accepts only a single tag.
1761 (_AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Likewise; s/AC_File/[$1]/
1763 Fix cases when the varsions of Autoconf and Autotest don't match.
1764 Reported by Noah Misch.
1765 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Set also
1766 at_top_builddir, for compatibility with older autotest.
1767 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): If at_top_build_prefix
1768 is not set, use at_top_builddir, for compatibility with older
1769 versions of autoconf.
1771 2005-07-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1773 * bin/autom4te.in ($m4): Catch usages like --nesting-limit=2048.
1774 Problem reported by Patrick Welche.
1776 2005-07-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1778 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM): Use &, not |, in
1779 sed substitution command, so that we allow | in program prefixes
1780 and program suffixes. (& is a problem anyway; we're not fixing
1781 that here.)
1782 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Likewise, for
1783 configure_input, top_builddir, srcdir, etc.
1784 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise, for
1785 PATH_SEPARATOR in AUTOTEST_PATH.
1787 2005-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1789 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SITE_LOAD): Rewrite the
1790 for loop over config.site files using `set', to allow
1791 directory names containing IFS characters.
1793 2005-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1795 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DIRCHECK): Remove the tests for
1796 directories with weird names. Apparently some people like living
1797 on the edge. However, improve the test that "pwd" actually does
1798 report a name for the working directory.
1799 * NEWS: Remove the claim that we test for funny chars in dir names.
1801 2005-07-01 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1803 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_FOREACH): Make obsolete; it's

1813 about #include <config.h>.
1814 (Generic Functions): Mention the Gnulib project.
1815 (Limitations of Usual Tools) <sed>: Another minor rephrasing.
1817 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use a here
1818 document to output the default config_* lists to config.status.
1819 Don't recognize option --file, if the functionality is not there.
1820 Likewise for --header; moreover, recognize --he and --h as shortcuts
1821 for --help in that case.
1823 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Fix the order of the "sections", so that it
1824 matches the order of execution. No code changed.
1826 2005-06-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1828 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Fix also for
1829 single-quoted -cmdline argument in Portland Group compiler.
1830 Reported against LAM by Ole Holm Nielsen <Ole.H.Nielsen@fysik.dtu.dk>.
1832 2005-06-30 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1836 2005-06-29 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1838 * doc/autoconf.texi (File Descriptors): ksh doesn't pass open file
1839 descriptors to child processes; reported by Norman Gray.
1841 2005-06-29 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1843 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_VAR): Move next to _AC_ARG_PRECIOUS.
1845 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST_TRACE): New macro, to be traced
1846 instead of AC_SUBST; proposed by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1847 (AC_SUBST): Call it.
1848 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Call AC_SUBST_TRACE for
1849 the directory specific variables; but don't call it for configure_input.
1851 2005-06-28 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1853 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools) <sed>: Reword recent
1854 addition.
1856 2005-06-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1858 * NEWS: Don't worry about spaces in bindir etc. Only srcdir and working
1859 directory have inherent problems with special characters like spaces,
1860 due to limitations in Make syntax. Problem reported by Alexandre

1877 variable into diagnostic. Make the diagnostic an error, not a warning,
1878 because we really don't support spaces and suchlike in dir names.
1879 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Allow special characters in $ac_unique_file.
1880 Don't worry about backslashes in srcdir; it can't happen now.

1924 * doc/autoconf.texi:
1925 Don't mention Solaris versions so much, if a
1926 problem is common to all extant versions of Solaris. Say "SunOS
1927 4" instead of "SunOS" for SunOS 4.
1928 (awk): Mention more of the limitations of traditional Awk.
1929 (cat): Don't talk about cat -v.

1947 * doc/autoconf.texi: "filesystem" -> "file system".
1948 "behaviour" -> "behavior".

1950 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Omit blank after ":" sed command,
1951 as per POSIX.
1952 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Likewise.
1953 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Work around problem

1956 * man/Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add $(srcdir)/*.t.
1957 (.x.1): Ignore the time stamp in the .TH line when deciding whether

1973 Problem reported by Ralf Menzel.
1975 2005-06-08 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1977 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Undefine include & sinclude rather than
1978 renaming them since they are about to be redefined anyhow.
1980 2005-06-08 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1982 * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Add index entries for most
1983 redefined M4 macros to this node. Document m4_include & m4_sinclude.
1984 Move m4_undefine to alphabetical order.
1986 2005-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1989 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): Likewise.
1990 Reword to avoid some formatting glitches.
1991 Use "#!/bin/sh", not "#! /bin/sh"; the space isn't needed these days.
1992 Clarify explanation of HP compiler bug.
1993 Redo example output tp match current CVS snapshot.
1994 Use @example.org in email addresses when the examples
1995 might get inadvertently cut-and-pasted into user code.

1997 Use modern AC_INIT (except when the example is meant to be
1998 shown with Autoconf 2.13).
1999 Update ksh info for Solaris 9 and later.

2008 follows its own advice about quoting better.
2009 Reword to avoid some formatting glitches.
2010 * doc/installt.exi: Reword to avoid some formatting glitches.
2012 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins) <case>: Mention
2013 Tru64 ksh pattern matching bug. Reported against Libtool by
2014 Albert Chin <libtool@mlists.thewrittenword.com> and
2015 Nicolas Joly <njoly@pasteur.fr>.
2017 2005-06-06 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2019 m4_cdr of one-member list was [[]] (one-member list containing an
2020 empty string) instead of [] (an empty list. Callers were skewed to
2021 match this misbehaviour. As a consequence of this:
2022 - m4_foreach([x], [], [foo]) expanded to `foo', while
2023 - the expansion of m4_foreach([x], [[]], [foo]) was empty.
2024 This bug has been fixed:
2026 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_cdr): If only one argument is given,
2027 expand to an empty string; print error msg if called without
2028 an argument list.
2029 (m4_foreach, m4_map, m4_map_sep): Don't expect the previous
2030 misbehaviour; handle [] and [[]] correctly.

2038 2005-06-06 Ralf Menzel <menzel@ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (trivial change)
2040 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Solaris' awk cannot
2041 swallow records with more than 99 fields.
2042 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use the awk builtin `split' to
2043 parse the long line.
2045 2005-06-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2047 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): AIX awk cannot
2048 swallow literals longer than 399. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
2049 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Pass $at_groups though stdin,

2052 2005-06-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
2054 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Find g95 in addition
2055 to gfortran, and make these the first two compiler names
2056 checked (following the general autoconf preference for gcc).
2058 2005-06-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2060 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Set to $(wrappers).
2061 (DISTCLEANFILES): Remove $(check_SCRIPTS).
2062 (testsuite): Make sure autotest.m4f is up-to-date before using it.

2066 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't create a regular
2067 expression of unbounded size when processing the --list
2068 option. This runs afoul of a limit of 399 bytes per regular
2069 expression on AIX. Problem reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
2071 2005-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

2074 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Reword example
2075 for multiline stdbool replacement.
2076 (Setting Output Variables): Reword text a bit. Don't
2077 give all the details about |#_!!_#|.
2078 Reword description of line replacement.
2080 2005-05-31 Dan Manthey <dan_manthey@partech.com>
2082 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Output variables may
2083 now contain newlines, and substituted files must be referenced on
2084 a line alone; the sed scripts to substitute them are now very
2085 different.
2086 (_AC_SED_CMD_LIMIT): Added; single place to store limit on how many
2087 commands can be put in a sed script portably.
2088 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Document above
2089 changes. (Particular Header Checks) <AC_HEADER_STDBOOL>: Give exaple
2090 use of multiline substitution.

2101 classes in shell scripts. The test was too brittle.
2103 2005-05-25 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2105 * bin/autoconf.as: Don't use "shift 2"; it's not portable enough.
2106 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Document this
2107 limitation.
2109 2005-05-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

2119 messages when ac_unique_file is not found.
2120 (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Simplify the `if' at the end.
2121 (AC_MSG_CHECKING, AC_MSG_RESULT): Put braces around the two echo
2122 commands, for consistency with AC_MSG_ERROR and such.
2124 * bin/autoconf.as: Make more use of "shift 2" in option processing.

2134 2005-05-20 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2136 * NEWS: @top_builddir@ is now a dirname, ac_top_builddir will follow.
2137 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCDIRS): Rename ...
2138 (ac_top_builddir): ... this ...
2139 (ac_top_build_prefix): ... to this; the old name is also kept, for
2140 backward compatibility.
2141 (ac_top_builddir_sub): New variable, without the trailing slash,
2142 always nonempty.
2143 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): s/@top_builddir@/$ac_top_builddir_sub/
2144 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Actions): Rename
2145 ac_top_builddir to ac_top_build_prefix.
2146 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Rename
2147 at_top_builddir to at_top_build_prefix.

2157 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_text_wrap): Don't m4_quote the second
2158 argument to m4_foreach. I guess it was necessary in the past,
2159 but I think it's a no-op now.
2161 2005-05-17 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2163 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Merge two consecutive
2164 ``cat <<_ACEOF'' commands to one.
2165 (_AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT): Use expr, not ``echo|sed.''
2166 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: On various places, use expr instead of
2167 ``echo|sed.''

2171 a range.
2172 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX): Use awk to search for

2174 code had false positives.
2176 2005-05-14 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2178 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA): Prepend ${LIBOBJDIR},
2179 as on 2005-05-02.

2300 (m4_strip): Update the explanation.
2302 2005-04-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2304 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_RUN_IFELSE):

2306 Problem reported by Jennis Pruett.
2307 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4
2308 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL):
2309 Don't bother to remove core files; AC_RUN_IFELSE should do that
2310 for you.

2331 2005-04-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2333 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Look for configure.ac
2334 as well as configure.in. Problem reported by Gregorio Guidi.
2336 2005-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2338 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Use gnulib's current

2352 fails if %s isn't supported. Problem reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
2354 2005-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2356 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS):
2357 Merge `-z option' as well for the benefit of Solaris link flags. Pass
2358 whole-archive (-zallextract, -zdefaultextract) options in the hope of
2359 unique libraries, for the Sun Fortran 95 8.0 compiler. Bug reported
2360 against Libtool by Yury Puhalsky <pooh@cryptopro.ru>.
2362 2005-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2364 * NEWS: The configure command now warns you if you attempt to use
2365 a directory whose name contains a special character like space,
2366 newline, or "\".
2367 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Allow
2368 "," in file names. Do not use \@; it's not a portable regexp.
2369 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise.
2370 * lib/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise.
2371 * tests/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise.

2377 unportable file names.
2378 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DIRCHECK): New macro.
2379 (AC_INIT): Use it.
2380 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Use ac_pwd rather than invoking pwd.
2381 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Propagate
2382 ac_pwd, and quote srcdir.
2383 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Quote file name args.
2385 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix some systematic formatting problems.
2386 ".)" needs a following @: if not at the end of a sentence, and
2387 similarly for "!)". "etc." should be preceded by a comma.
2388 "n-th" -> "@var{n}th". pdksh is still buggy, so update its date.
2390 2005-03-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2392 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Mention that AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR's
2393 argument is often called 'build-aux'.
2395 2005-03-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2397 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quotation Rule Of Thumb): Mention that the
2398 macro AC_TRY_LINK is obsolete.
2399 (Installation Directory Variables): Change `AC_OUTPUT_FILES' to
2400 `AC_CONFIG_FILES'.
2402 2005-02-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2404 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Be more careful to skip
2405 `/usr/ucb/cc'; use `cl.exe' to distinguish the MS compiler
2406 from a Common Lisp's `cl'.
2407 (AC_PROG_CXX): Behave according to the documentation: don't
2408 search for $ac_tool_prefix$CCC and $CCC, just set CXX=$CCC;
2409 make the variable CCC precious; use `cl.exe', not `cl'.
2411 2005-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2412 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2414 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Redirect stdin from
2415 /dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this insulates
2416 us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl"). Also, do this
2417 redirection before invoking "hostname" or "uname", and keep the
2418 original input stream available via...
2419 (AS_ORIGINAL_STDIN_FD): ... this new macro.
2420 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Don't
2421 bother with "</dev/null" since it's now done at the top of
2422 'configure'.
2423 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Likewise.
2424 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise.

2430 2005-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2432 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): Don't set ECHO_C to
2433 newline if neither \c nor -n work, as that would output two
2434 newlines. Prefer -n to \c. Reported by Stepan Kasal.
2436 2005-02-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2438 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_IF): Define by m4_defun, not m4_define.
2439 This causes that any required macros inside will get before the if.
2440 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te.cache): A typo.
2442 2005-02-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2444 Undo previous change, except keep the change to
2445 lib/autoconf/programs.m4 that replaced grep with shell
2446 pattern-matching. This is because net-snmp configure reads stdin.
2447 Reported by Noah Misch.
2449 2005-02-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2451 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Redirect stdin
2452 from /dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this
2453 insulates us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl").
2454 Suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz. Also, do this redirection
2455 before invoking "hostname" or "uname".
2456 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
2457 _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Undo previous change, as it's no longer needed.
2458 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Don't bother with
2459 "</dev/null" since it's now done at the top of 'configure'.
2460 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise.
2461 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FLAVOR_GNU): Likewise.
2462 Also, replace grep with shell pattern-matching, to save a process.
2464 2005-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2466 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
2467 _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Redirect stdin to /dev/null, in an attempt to
2468 avoid thinking that Allegro Common Lisp's "cl" command is a C++
2469 compiler.
2471 2005-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2473 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document that
2474 grep -q isn't portable. Improve grep -s explanation.
2475 Problem reported by Dan Manthey.
2477 2005-02-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2479 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Clarify
2480 PATH_SEPARATOR wording; fix typo in IFS. Reported by Gary V. Vaughan.
2482 2005-02-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2484 * doc/autoconf.texi: Use @acronym for DJGPP.
2485 Fix some @code's that should have been @env's, and vice versa.
2486 Sort environment variable names.
2487 Mention that shells no longer inherit IFS.
2488 Don't recommend PATH_SEPARATOR=';' so strongly.
2489 Mention that $RANDOM might expand to the empty string.
2490 "symlink" and "soft link" -> "symbolic link".
2491 Improve mktemp description (reported by Bruno Haible).
2493 2005-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2495 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Don't overquote AT_SETUP arg.

2503 * NEWS: Mention AT_COPYRIGHT.
2505 * tests/local.at (AT_CMP): Use diff directly on input files rather
2506 than copying them.
2508 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Don't look in
2509 /usr/xpg4/bin since that sed dumps core (at least on Solaris 8).

2522 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR): Add `m4sugar' to keywords.
2523 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Ignore LTLIBOBJS, FC variables, EGREP, FGREP, and SED.

2527 excess test name quoting.
2528 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_OLD, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): Pass

2531 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_UNAME): Try only /usr/bin/hostinfo, not
2532 any `hostinfo' in $PATH, since hostinfo.exe is a popular file name
2533 on some platforms.
2535 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_LANG(Fortran), AC_FC_SRCEXT):

2564 2005-02-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2566 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_escape): Escape ?, ^, \, $ too;
2567 this fixes a bug tickled by the AT_CAPTURE_FILE change noted below.
2569 Try not to generated lines of unlimited length, as POSIX places a
2570 2047-byte limit on line length of portable text files.
2571 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE):
2572 Use newline as a separator, not space.

2574 (AT_CAPTURE_FILE): Use space-backslash-newline as a separator, not
2575 space.
2577 2005-02-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2579 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK): Move func_* to

2583 2005-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2585 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention _,

2630 Simplify the implementation of m4_require (a.k.a. AC_REQUIRE).
2631 Update the long comment explaining it.
2633 m4_require no longer writes an ``is required by'' line to the
2634 execution stack. It contains only one bit of non-redundant
2635 information: that the macro was required, not called. And even
2636 this bit is useless in most situations: have you ever met a macro
2637 which both calls and requires the same macro?
2639 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_defun_pro): Don't push a diversion...
2640 (_m4_defun_pro_outer): ... only via this macro, for the outermost
2641 macro.
2642 (_m4_defun_epi, _m4_defun_epi_outer): Complementarily.
2643 (m4_expansion_stack_pop): Remove the misplaced comment.
2644 (m4_require): Don't put the ``is required by'' line to the

2646 (_m4_divert_grow): New macro, counter for the temporary diversions.
2647 (_m4_require_call): Use it.
2648 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_require): Expect output without the
2649 ``is required by'' messages.
2651 2005-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2653 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Recommend X
2654 rather than x for expr.
2656 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): Avoid subshells when
2657 this is safe.
2658 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP): Likewise.

2670 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Update
2671 from masters, so that FileUtils.pm's update_file provide --force
2672 support.
2673 * bin/autoheader.in: Pass $force to update_file so that
2674 config.h.in is always recreated when --force.

2678 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): Update Peter Simons' address.
2680 2005-01-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2682 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Clarify that
2683 "if test ! -d foo; ..." is portable. Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
2685 2005-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2687 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Fix typo in case statement.
2688 Warn about newline stripping in `` and $(). Update Solaris
2689 version to 9.
2690 (Limitations of Builtins): Use expr "X...", not expr "x...", as
2691 X insulates us from future changes to Posix.
2692 (Limitations of Usual Tools): For AS_DIRNAME, warn about newline
2693 stripping.
2695 2005-01-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

2713 ulongval to be static, to avoid unwanted GCC warning. Problem
2714 reported by Michael Jennings via Daniel Reed; see
2715 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=143852>.
2717 2005-01-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2719 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Define datarootdir,

2724 new variables.
2726 2005-01-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
2728 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): If the Make program does
2729 not seem to work, assume it does set $(MAKE).

2732 2005-01-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
2734 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_REQUIRE): Add a comment about nesting.

2738 A cleanup of the diversion support in m4sugar.
2740 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_divert): A typo in description.
2741 (_m4_divert_n_stack): New macro; the expansion is
2742 <newline>m4_divert_stack, if m4_divert_stack is defined, and void
2743 otherwise.
2744 (m4_divert, m4_divert_push, m4_divert_pop, m4_init): Use it.
2745 (m4_divert_push, m4_divert_pop, _m4_defun_epi): Don't expand the word
2746 stored in _m4_divert_diversion or _m4_divert_dump.
2747 (m4_divert_pop): When the parameter is given, compare the symbolic
2748 name with the last diversion pushed on the stack. Previously, the
2749 current diversion was compared with the numeric value of the
2750 diversion given as the parameter.

3059 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Use
3060 "char c = '\200';" rather than "char c = 0x80;" as the

3220 Use @uref rather than @href.
3222 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Have configure
3223 handle "--" as per POSIX. Suggested by Paul Pogonyshev.
3225 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp,
3226 config/install-sh, config/mkinstalldirs, config/texinfo.tex,
3227 doc/fdl.texi, doc/standards.texi: Sync with master copy.
3229 * NEWS, TODO, configure.ac, bin/autoscan.in,

3235 lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, tests/local.at, tests/m4sh.at,
3236 tests/tools.at, tests/torture.at:
3237 Use "file name" rather than "filename" or "path",
3238 to be consistent with the terminology of the GNU coding standards.
3240 2004-08-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3242 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C),
3243 AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Undo 2004-06-04 change, as it didn't work with
3244 HP-UX 11.23 cc/aCC or Tru64 4.0 cc. Problem reported by Noah Misch in
3245 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-07/msg00004.html>.
3247 More fixes to support spaces in the name of the build directory.
3248 This isn't a complete fix but it's an improvement.
3250 * bin/autoconf.as (autom4te_options): New var.
3251 Use it instead of appending to AUTOM4TE, so that we can allow
3252 spaces in the build directory's absolute name.
3253 * bin/autoheader.in ($autoconf): Allow spaces in file names.
3254 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP, _AT_CHECK,
3255 AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Likewise.
3256 * tests/wrapper.as (testdir, AUTOM4TE_CFG, autom4te_perllibdir,
3257 main program): Likewise.
3259 2004-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3261 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Quote $ac_popdir uses.
3262 From Ralf Corsepius in:

3265 2004-08-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3267 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Document isinf and
3268 and isnan. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
3270 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Return correct exit status even
3271 if unlink succeeds and sets $?. Needed with Solaris 8's perl 5.00503.
3273 2004-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3275 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): Use configure.in, not configure.ac,
3276 for compatibility with Automake 1.4. Reported by J C Fitzgerald in
3277 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-08/msg00051.html>.
3279 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3281 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE): New empty macro.
3282 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Call it to require config.sub and config.guess.
3283 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Likewise for install-sh.
3284 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
3285 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
3286 AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE. Automake 1.10 will trace it.
3288 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3290 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
3291 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET. Automake 1.9.1 will
3292 trace them.
3294 2004-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3296 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Set BIN_SH, for
3297 Tru64.
3298 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention BIN_SH.
3299 Document problem with "`""`" in pdksh POSIX mode.
3301 2004-07-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3303 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Use "set -o posix"
3304 with pdksh, too. Problem reported by Patrick Welche via
3305 Gary V. Vaughan.
3306 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Note that set -o posix is
3307 useful for pkdsh, too.
3309 2004-06-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3311 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Require
3312 _AS_UNSET_PREPARE, so that we can use $as_unset directly.
3313 Don't fail if ENV or BASH_ENV is readonly.
3314 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Don't fail if ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, LC_ALL,
3315 etc. are read only. Problem reported by Ludovic Courtes.
3317 2004-06-23 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
3319 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): If the shell is
3320 zsh, disable GLOB_SUBST to avoid backslash handling problems.
3321 (trivial change)
3323 2004-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3325 * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Warn about
3326 names like "aux". Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3328 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY (C)): Use division
3329 by zero instead of array size, so that we can use any arithmetic
3330 constant expression (instead of requiring an integer constant
3331 expression). This allows us to test expressions like DBL_MAX <
3332 LDBL_MAX, which didn't conform to the C standard using the old
3333 method.
3334 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Put back in the tests for LDBL_MAX and LDBL_EPSILON,
3335 now that we can do floating-point tests at compile time.
3337 2004-06-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3339 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Don't check LDBL_MAX
3340 and LDBL_EPSILON, as the resulting expression isn't an
3341 integer constant expression and violates the C standard.
3342 Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. Also, check
3343 for "L" suffix, and check that long double doesn't have
3344 worse range or precision than double, that mixed-mode
3345 arithmetic doesn't generate a diagnostic, that double
3346 constants fit in long double.
3348 2004-06-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3350 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on free(NULL),
3351 malloc(0) and realloc(NULL,size).
3353 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Spelling error reported by
3354 Bob Proulx.
3356 2004-05-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3358 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (HAVE_STDBOOL_H): Detect _Bool bug
3359 in HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]. Problem reported
3360 by Jim Meyering.
3362 2004-05-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3364 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Mention that ! COMMAND
3365 can be rewritten using if-then-else. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
3367 2004-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3369 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Fix typo.
3370 Problem reported by Stepan Kasal.
3372 2004-05-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3374 * tests/Makefile.am (autoconfdir): Fix to match comment (trivial
3375 change). Patch reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
3376 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-05/msg00092.html>.
3378 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Don't assume that a
3379 function F exists if the compiler and linker let you compile an
3380 expression like (F != 0). Recent versions of GCC optimize away
3381 the reference to F in that case, since every function address must
3382 be nonzero, so the link succeeds even if F does not exist.
3383 Problem reported by Manu in
3384 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00060.html>.
3386 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Standardize on the spelling of
3387 "Unix". Many uses changed.
3388 (Limitations of Builtins): Explain better why the ! command isn't
3389 portable.
3391 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3393 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
3394 LT_SUPPORTED_TAG in lieu of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS.
3396 2004-05-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3398 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add strerror_r, cross
3399 referencing AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R.
3401 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): In AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID,
3402 note pessimistic assumption when cross compiling.
3404 2004-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3406 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Note that BSD make
3407 (until 2004) invoked subcommands with sh -e, contra POSIX.
3408 Reported by Kevin Ryde.
3410 2004-05-10 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
3412 * programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Fixed bug where PATH argument handed to
3413 _AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK contained leading whitespace (i.e.
3414 " $PATH:/usr/xpg4/bin"). This resulted in bogus tests, such as
3415 `test -f " /usr/bin/grep"', which _always_ failed.
3416 (AC_PROG_SED): Ditto bogus PATH fix.
3417 * autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_GREP): Properly document that this macro
3418 requires that grep correctly supports _multiple_ `-e' options, rather
3419 than stating only that grep should accept `-e'.
3421 2004-05-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3423 Port to C99, which requires that 'exit' be declared.
3425 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT
3426 to ensure that stdlib.h is included.
3427 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP,
3428 AC_FUNC_STRTOD, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_FORK, _AC_FUNC_FORK,
3429 _AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3): Likewise.
3430 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Likewise.
3431 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS): Likewise.
3432 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Include <stdlib.h>
3433 when using 'exit' in a test; C99 requires that 'exit' be declared.
3435 2004-05-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3437 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_GREP
3438 now prefers 'grep' implementations that accept -e.
3439 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Describe problems of traditional
3440 egrep and fgrep with long input lines, and of traditional grep
3441 with -e.
3442 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Check for -e, too.
3443 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Assume 3rd arg is properly quoted for the shell.
3444 All callers changed. Append /usr/xpg4/bin to the PATH, for
3445 Solaris.
3446 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Discard stderr, so we don't bother
3447 the user with complaints about multiple -e options.
3448 * tests/local.at (AC_STATE_SAVE): Use $GREP, not grep.
3449 Define it with AC_PROG_GREP.
3450 * configure.ac (AC_PROG_GREP): Add.
3451 * lib/freeze.mk (GREP): New macro.
3453 2004-05-02 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
3455 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Consult $SHELL as
3456 a possible candidate only after all others fail, rather than
3457 consulting it first. This improves backward compatibility by
3458 better reflecting the way shell selection occurred in previous
3459 versions of Autoconf, and should help to avoid triggering latent
3460 problems in other packages, such as the one in Automake where zsh
3461 is not handled robustly:
3462 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2004-04/msg00095.html
3463 Although it is not Autoconf's responsibility to work around
3464 problems in Automake, it nevertheless makes sense to avoid
3465 introducing unnecessary incompatibilites.
3467 2004-04-22 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>,
3468 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
3470 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't guess
3471 how deeply nested we are when a suitable tool is found, set the
3472 ac_path_TOOL_found flag.
3473 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK): Encapsulate knowledge of how deeply
3474 nested we are in this macro. Break out of all 3 nested loops if
3475 ac_path_TOOL_found is set.
3477 2004-04-21 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
3479 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Break out
3480 of the _AS_PATH_WALK loop too if GNU flavor is found.
3482 2004-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3484 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Update documentation
3485 for `$<'. New entry `Long lines', based on a report from Simon
3486 Josefsson. Augment the documentation for SHELL = @SHELL@ with a
3487 paragraph about DJGPP, based on a mail from Richard Dawe.
3489 2004-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3491 * tests/c.at (C keywords): Don't assume that GCC supports
3492 "restrict" and "inline", as sufficiently-old GCC versions do not
3493 (also, GCC configured to be in pedantic C89 mode does not).
3494 Problem reported by Sumit Pandya in:
3495 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-04/msg00092.html
3497 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_G, _AC_PROG_CXX_G): Don't
3498 consider -g to work if it generates warnings when plain compiles
3499 don't. Problem reported by Braden McDaniel in:
3500 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00014.html
3502 * doc/autoconf.texi (Slashes): New section, to document a problem
3503 reported by Jim Meyering in:
3504 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00060.html
3506 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Remove potential
3507 linker output files before linking, to work around IRIX 6 linker bug.
3508 Problem reported by Rainer Orth in:
3509 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-02/msg00007.html
3511 2004-04-20 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
3513 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Make the
3514 best tool so far counter rely on the tool path variable name to
3515 avoid checks for one tool being affected by the results of running
3516 the length check on a previous tool.
3518 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Take an additional
3519 match expression argument, as different greps have different
3520 regular expression flavours.
3521 (AC_PROG_FGREP): Pass 'FGREP'. fgrep treats all match chars as
3522 literals.
3523 (AC_PROG_EGREP): Pass 'EGREP$'.
3524 (AC_PROG_GREP): Pass 'GREP$'.
3526 2004-04-20 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>
3528 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Cache variable
3529 is `ac_cv_path_GREP', not `oc_cv_path_GREP'.
3531 2004-03-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3533 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers, Particular Types, Generic
3534 Types, Specific Compiler Characteristics, System Services,
3535 Obsolete Macros): Use 'long int', 'short int', 'unsigned int'
3536 etc. consistently instead of 'long', 'short', 'unsigned' etc.
3537 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C), AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
3538 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES):
3539 Likewise.
3540 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT): Likewise.
3541 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_TYPE_SIZE_T,
3542 AC_TYPE_OFF_T): Likewise.
3543 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_TYPES: backward compatibility):
3544 Likewise.
3546 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Create an empty aclocal.m4, to
3547 pacify libtool 1.5.2. Fix quoting problems in sed command.
3549 2004-03-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3551 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Structures): AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE
3552 now defines HAVE_DECL_TZNAME if it is declared, when
3553 HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE is not defined.
3554 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Implement this.
3555 Do not assume atoi. Rely on HAVE_DECL_TZNAME when testing
3556 for HAVE_TZNAME.
3558 2004-03-28 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
3560 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Corrected
3561 superfluous backslashing of quotes (") in sed expressions;
3562 thanks to Paul Eggert.
3564 2004-03-26 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
3566 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): new name of Intel
3567 Fortran compiler is ifort, also added pghpf; thanks to Nelson
3568 H. F. Beebe for the bug report.
3570 2004-03-26 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
3572 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): fix for
3573 quoted -cmdline argument in Portland Group compiler (bug
3574 reported by Jeffrey J. Barteet).
3576 2004-03-25 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3578 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Move cross_compiling ovindex to
3579 (Run Time): ... here, where it's now mentioned.
3581 2004-03-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3583 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te Invocation): Language Autoconf
3584 inherits from language Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4.
3585 (Customizing autom4te): Adjust example; the cache must now be
3586 disabled for language Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4.
3588 2004-03-16 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
3589 Nathanael Nerode <neroden@twcny.rr.com>
3591 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL,
3592 AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Warn if a cross-tool is found without
3593 a prefix.
3594 (AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL,
3595 AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS): New macros.
3596 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Programs): Document
3597 (AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL,
3598 AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS, and warn for future changes
3599 in the behavior of AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL and
3600 AC_CHECK_TOOLS.
3601 (Specifying Names): Document the reason for these future
3602 behavioral changes.
3603 * tests/mktests.sh: Do not generate tests for the
3604 new macros.
3605 * NEWS: Document these changes.
3607 * doc/autoconf.texi: Avoid macros with unbraced arguments,
3608 they make TeX hang up.
3610 2004-03-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@bogus.example.com>
3612 * NEWS: New macro AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF.
3613 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document it.
3614 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Use long int rather than
3615 int; avoid "a `$1'" since this isn't grammatical if $1 begins with a
3616 vowel.
3617 (AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF): New macro.
3618 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Exclude AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF.
3619 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF): Add tests similar to
3620 those for sizeof.
3622 2004-03-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3624 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Don't use $< in a context where
3625 POSIX doesn't require support for it. Use $@.in instead.
3626 Problem reported by Anthony N. Frasso in
3627 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-03/msg00008.html>.
3628 * bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Add @configure_input@ comment.
3630 2004-02-23 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
3632 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Recognize LT_INIT
3633 from the next generation of Libtool.
3634 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoreconf-preselections): Ditto.
3636 2004-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3638 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools) <mkdir>: `mkdir -p'
3639 is not always thread-safe. Report from Nathanael Nerode.
3641 2004-02-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3643 Fix a dependencies problem, stemming from a Autoconf 2.59 build
3644 problem on QNX reported by Stephen Rasku in
3645 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-02/msg00066.html>.
3647 * bin/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/autoconf.in): Depend on
3648 $(m4sh_m4f_dependencies); this removes a FIXME.
3649 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/wrapper.in): Likewise.
3650 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Split into pieces,
3651 one per related section. Add $(srcdir)/wrapper.in.
3653 2004-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3655 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Emphasize that
3656 AC_SUBST provides no portable way to escape literal newlines.
3658 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Ignore all
3659 flags of the form -lcrt*.o, not just -lcrt[01].o and -lcrtbegin.o.

3691 parameter. Expand _AS_SHELL_FN_SPY.
3692 (AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN): Removed.
3693 (_AS_SHELL_FN_SPY): New macro.
3694 (AS_DETECT_REQUIRED, AS_DETECT_SUGGESTED): New
3695 macros.
3696 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Remove loop to find better shell

3701 (AS_REQUIRE_SHELL_FN): Require shell functions when
3702 it is used.
3703 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Put around braces, we do not

3715 (AU_DEFUN): Honor the third parameter, create autoupdate
3716 macros with AU_DEFINE.
3717 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H,
3718 AC_DIR_HEADER): Use AU_DEFUN's third parameter.

3737 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): Add 1992 thorugh

3739 the 2003-05-22 change, which removed the older years from the list.
3740 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Update copyright date to 2004.
3742 2004-01-27 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>

3754 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): New helper macro for finding the
3755 longest input length accepted by a command.
3756 (AC_PROG_SED): Use it.
3757 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document the changes.
3758 * NEWS: Updated.
3760 2004-01-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3762 * bin/autoconf.as ($version): Update copyright from 2003 to 2004.
3763 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
3764 bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in: Likewise.
3765 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): Likewise.
3767 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, configure, bin/Makefile.in,
3768 bin/autoconf.in, config/Makefile.in, config/config.guess,
3769 config/config.sub, config/install-sh, config/mdate-sh,

3784 2004-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3786 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Include <stdint.h> even if
3787 HAVE_INTTYPES_H is defined. This is needed on Tru64 5.1b with
3788 Compac C V6.5-207 (dtk), which defines uintmax_t in <stdint.h> but
3789 not <inttypes.h>. Problem reported by Tim Mooney in
3790 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-01/msg00147.html>.
3791 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS):
3792 Likewise.
3794 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Use diff, not sed;
3795 otherwise "make check" fails because it forbids cmp (I guess
3796 because cmp treats files as binary on DOS-like systems).
3798 * tests/mktests.sh: Update copyright date to 2004, since some tests
3799 have changed in 2004.
3801 2004-01-23 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>

3804 non-truncating sed or gsed program in PATH.
3805 * tests/acprograms.at: Add it.
3806 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document it.
3807 * NEWS: Updated.
3809 2004-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3811 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Try -std, not -std1, since
3812 -std1 disables some useful extensions on Tru64. Problem reported
3813 by N. Lichtmaier in
3814 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00100.html>.
3816 2004-01-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3818 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document that
3819 AS_MKDIR_P succeeds if the destination is a symbolic link
3820 to an existing directory.
3821 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note that mkdir -p might not
3822 succeed on symlinks to directories.
3824 2004-01-13 Paul Hilfinger <hilfinger@CS.Berkeley.EDU>
3826 * lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFUN): Grammar fix in comment.
3827 * bin/autoheader.in: Grammar fix in message.
3828 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P):
3829 Test for dir before calling mkdir -p. (trivial changes)
3831 2004-01-13 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3833 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): In AC_TRY_COMPILE and
3834 AC_TRY_LINK, s/AC_LANG_SOURCE/AC_LANG_PROGRAM/. (trivial change)
3836 2004-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3838 * doc/autoconf.texi (Running the Preprocessor): Correct grammar.
3840 2004-01-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3842 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fix bug: AC_CHECK_SIZEOF evokes a warning
3843 with `autoconf -Wall,error'. Bug reported by Eric Blake in:
3844 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-01/msg00000.html
3845 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Invoke _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not
3846 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, since we now assume our caller invokes
3847 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE, for symmetry with _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
3848 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN): Likewise, for _AC_RUN_IFELSE instead
3849 of AC_RUN_IFELSE; this avoids the warning mentioned above.
3850 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
3852 2004-01-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3854 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): Avoid \$ inside
3855 `"'...'"`, as it's confusing (and I suspect it may not work on
3856 some platforms). The code was incorrect anyway, as it assumed
3857 that \$ evaluated to itself in that context. Reported by
3858 Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
3860 2004-01-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3862 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS

3867 * doc/autoconf.texi (One Macro Call): Fix an incorrect
3868 example, and add more examples. Reported by Eric Sunshine.
3870 2004-01-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3872 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
3873 Remove warning against "rm -fr" introduced yesterday; it
3874 was a false alarm.
3876 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf,
3877 autoscan, autoupdate, ifnames): Don't use chmod -w.
3878 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Likewise.
3879 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Warn against
3880 "chmod -w".
3882 2004-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3883 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
3885 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Speed up sed scripts
3886 by doing lineno substitution only on lines containing "$LINENO".
3888 2004-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3890 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM):
3891 Use "rm -f" to remove conftest.sed, not plain "rm".
3892 Bug reported by David Relson in
3893 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00011.html>.
3895 * Makefile.am (autom4te-update):
3896 Replace "rm -rf" and "rm -fr" with "rm -f -r", as POSIX requires.
3897 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck, do-po-update): Likewise.
3898 * doc/autoconf.texi (Guidelines): Likewise.
3899 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Likewise.

3905 * tests/tortue.at (AC_CONFIG_FILES, HEADERS, LINKS and COMMANDS,
3906 srcdir): Likewise.
3907 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
3908 Warn against "rm -fr".
3910 2004-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3912 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Mention that cc
3913 -c -o might not work. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
3914 (C Compiler, Generating Sources, Limitations
3915 of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
3916 Don't put '-o' after non-options, as POSIX doesn't allow this.
3917 Mention that cc's name might be gcc or c89 or whatever.
3919 2004-01-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3921 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add various further index entries.
3923 2003-12-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3925 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory):
3926 Fix typo: mkdir without umask arg.
3928 2003-12-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3930 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <Automatic rule rewriting>:
3931 Documents OSF1/Tru64 make behavior. Replace `VPATH = ../src' by
3932 `VPATH = ../pkg/src' in examples to make the OSF1/Tru64 make
3933 explanation clearer.
3935 2003-12-24 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3937 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Fix misspelling of
3938 AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.

3942 * configure.ac: Test if sh -n works.
3943 * configure: Regenerate.
3944 * tests/atlocal.in: Store the result here.
3945 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX): Extracted from
3946 tools.at, looking in atlocal's ac_cv_sh_n_works instead
3947 of explicitly testing.
3948 (AT_CHECK_PERL_SYNTAX): Moved from tools.at.
3949 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Test for the configure script syntax.
3950 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the shell scripts): Simplify
3951 using AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX.
3952 (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Remove definition of
3953 AT_CHECK_PERL_SYNTAX.

3964 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE):
3965 Extracted from AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
3966 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK, AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN): New
3967 macros.
3968 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Move reinvocation code from
3969 _AS_LINENO_WORKS, use it to find out if shell
3970 functions work.
3971 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Don't find another shell if $LINENO
3972 does not work.
3973 (AS_INIT): Pass parameter down to AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
3974 (AS_REQUIRE_SHELL_FN): Test that AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN

3988 them on the fly.
3990 2003-11-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3992 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_LEX can

4020 parameter of AU_DEFUN.

4025 the expanded body, consistently with other macros such as AC_USG.
4027 2003-11-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4029 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Put at least 14 bytes

4031 patch 3 reported by Eric Sunshine.
4033 2003-11-15 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4035 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Revise, showing $host rather
4036 than $target since the latter is not usual, add guidelines on when to
4037 use or not use the system type.
4039 2003-11-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
4041 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Fix what looks like a

4061 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Fix use of AS_SET_CATFILE

4196 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FORK): Trivial fix for vfork
4197 cross test.
4199 2003-10-11 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4201 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Use the new official
4202 name for the GNU Fortran 95+ compiler, 'gfortran', not 'g95'.

4207 --help output.
4208 * bin/ifnames.in: Likewise.
4210 2003-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4212 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Don't assume -j is solo.
4213 Issue a more-informative diagnostic.
4214 Problems reported by Eric Sunshine.
4216 2003-10-08 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4218 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Omit quoted
4219 -mGLOB_options_string stuff for Intel ifc, which can cause

4229 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Stub out a macro
4230 that future autopoint/aclocal/automake/autoreconf will be able

4239 -lcrt[01].o.
4241 2003-10-04 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@ab-initio.mit.edu>
4243 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
4244 cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
4245 since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.
4247 2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4249 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f
4250 free" flag. Re-order flags tested into rough order of popularity.
4252 2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4254 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): Reverse the order of the
4255 arguments so that it can be used with syntax identical to
4256 AC_PROG_F77, and so that we can more easily decide to
4257 remove/deprecate the DIALECT optional argument in the future if it
4258 proves troublesome.
4259 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Exit 77 upon failure to fix test suite for
4260 non-freeform-supporting compilers. Document freeform flags.
4262 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4264 * configure.ac: Look for emacs, not macs.
4265 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
4267 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4269 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoreconf-preselections): Trace AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
4270 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Create the
4271 AUX_DIR if needed, for sake of automake --add-missing etc.
4272 Suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
4274 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4276 * configure.ac: Quotation and formatting changes.
4277 (EMACS): Don't set it if it is not recent enough to support

4297 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Use Errno.
4298 (lock): Ignore ENOLCK errors. Problem reported Andreas Schwab in
4299 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-09/msg00141.html>.
4301 2003-09-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4303 * config/announce-gen (&print_news_deltas): Extracted from...
4304 (&print_changelog_deltas): here.
4305 (&news_file): Rename as...
4306 (@news_file): this.

4323 Problem reported by Lars J. Aas in
4324 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-07/msg00042.html>.
4325 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): Change "rm -fr ./-p" to the more-conservative
4326 "test -d ./-p && rmdir ./-p". Suggested by Andreas Schwab in:
4327 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-09/msg00039.html
4329 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4331 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
4332 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
4333 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
4334 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
4335 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
4337 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4339 * bin/autoscan.in (Autom4te::FileUtils): Use it for find_file.
4340 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
4342 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4344 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Don't overquote the
4345 arguments.
4346 Actually, use AU_ALIAS.
4347 From Bruno Haible.
4349 2003-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4351 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): If mkdir -p . fails,
4352 rm -fr ./-p to remove junk left behind on NextStep and OpenStep.
4353 Problem reported by Eric Sunshine in:

4356 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4358 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
4359 Reported by Henk Krus.
4360 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
4362 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
4363 AT_help_all.
4364 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
4365 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
4366 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
4367 (AT_INIT): here.
4368 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...
4369 (at_times_p): this.
4370 (AT_INIT): When summarizing the test that ran, remove
4371 $at_times_file after use, and check it is present before trying to
4372 use it.
4374 2003-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4376 Version 2.57d.
4378 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Handle '@configure_input@'.

4380 (ifnames): chmod -w.
4381 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
4382 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
4383 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
4384 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
4385 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
4386 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
4387 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
4388 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a
4389 -w file.
4390 * config/install-sh: Upgrade from CVS Automake.
4392 2003-09-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

4395 versus test -L issues.
4397 2003-09-23 Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@mvista.com> and
4398 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4400 Trivial change to support GCC's configuration procedure.
4401 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR): New macro.
4402 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Don't warn
4403 about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for
4404 any warning.
4405 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Document this.
4407 2003-09-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4409 * Makefile.am (autom4te-update, autom4te_files): Fetch Struct.pm
4410 and XFile.pm from Automake.

4423 2003-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4425 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): Promote linux/types.h,
4426 not asm/types.h.
4428 2003-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4430 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): linux/random.h.
4431 From Peter Hendrickson.
4433 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4435 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Make it harder to be
4436 willing to edit the output files.
4438 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4440 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): Also exercise AC_FC_SRCEXT
4441 and AC_FC_FREEFORM.
4442 * tests/mktests.sh: Skip AC_FC_SRCEXT.
4443 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM): Likewise.
4445 2003-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4447 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&update_file): s/cannot not/cannot/g.

4458 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS):
4459 Improve the accuracy of the wording about obsolescence.
4460 From a suggestion by Ian Lance Taylor in
4461 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-09/msg00044.html>.
4463 2003-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4465 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Try -ffree-form too,
4466 for the benefit of g77 3.2. Fix suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
4468 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4470 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Fix the filtering of
4471 AC_FUNC_WAIT3.
4473 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4475 * bin/autom4te.in: Use &fatal where more appropriate than &error.
4476 (freeze): When exiting, use $exit_code.
4477 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4: Comment changes.
4479 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4481 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Add AC_FC_FUNC.
4483 2003-09-02 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4485 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
4486 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
4487 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
4488 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
4489 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
4490 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
4491 AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.
4493 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX(C), _AC_LANG_PREFIX(C++)):
4494 New macros.
4495 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Invoke _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_FC_HOOKS if defined.
4496 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_LANG(Fortran), _AC_FORTRAN_ASSERT,
4497 _AC_LANG_ABBREV(Fortran), _AC_LANG_PREFIX(Fortran 77),
4498 _AC_LANG_PREFIX(Fortran), _AC_FC, AC_LANG_SOURCE(Fortran),

4511 AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING, AC_F77_WRAPPERS, AC_F77_FUNC):
4512 Rewrite in terms of the above.
4513 (_AC_PROG_F77_G, _AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT, _AC_PROG_F77_V): Remove.
4514 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX): New macro.

4520 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make):
4521 Document problems with timestamp resolution that 'make', 'cp -p', and
4522 'touch -r' have.
4524 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4526 * tests/m4sugar.at (cross_warning): Make sure to enable the
4527 output, so that we can track spurious m4sugar output.

4529 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't m4_default the arguments that
4530 are defaulted by AT_CHECK anyway.
4531 Use AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE.
4532 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: There should be no output at all: add a
4533 missing dnl.
4535 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4537 * bin/autoheader.in: Issue the "Using auxiliary..." message only
4538 when -Wobsolete is set.

4594 2003-08-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4596 * lib/Autom4te/Request.pm, lib/Autom4te/C4che.pm: New.
4597 * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust.
4599 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4601 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&file_name_is_absolute): Remove.
4602 (&verbose): Remove.
4603 (&getopt): Adjust the note and verb channels, depending upon
4604 --verbose.
4605 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in,
4606 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust.
4607 Use &verb, not &verbose.
4609 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4611 * bin/autoheader.in (&parse_args): Use &parse_warnings and
4612 &parse_WARNINGS.
4613 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
4614 * bin/autoscan.in: Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs.
4615 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it.
4617 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4619 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
4620 including when the cache is used.
4622 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
4623 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
4624 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
4625 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
4626 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
4628 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
4629 Use them.
4630 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
4631 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
4632 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
4633 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
4634 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
4635 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
4636 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
4637 failure, hence we can use the cache.
4638 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
4639 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
4640 Remove.
4641 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
4642 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
4643 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
4644 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
4645 the latter reveals calls to the former.
4647 Adjust the tests.
4649 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
4651 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4653 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
4654 Use them.
4656 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4658 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in
4659 forward order.
4660 * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos.
4661 (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests.
4662 (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect.
4663 (cross): New warning category.
4665 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4667 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (&find_configure_ac)
4668 (&require_configure_ac): Accept an optional directory argument.
4669 ($configure_ac): Remove.
4670 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_configure_ac, &canonfile)
4671 (&catfile): Remove.
4672 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
4673 * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust.
4675 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4677 * bin/autoheader.in: Remove duplicate 'use Autom4te::FileUtils'.
4678 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
4680 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4682 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
4683 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
4684 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
4685 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
4686 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
4687 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
4688 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.
4689 More perldoc.
4690 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to...
4691 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here.
4693 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4695 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm
4696 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: New,
4697 from CVS Automake.
4699 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4701 * Makefile.am (automake_cvsweb, automake_cvsargs, autom4te_files)
4702 (autom4te-update): New.
4703 * Makefile.cfg (update): Bind autom4te-update.
4705 2003-08-19 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>

4708 (PARSE_ARGS_BEGIN): New section for option parsing related
4709 initialization.

4717 * GNUmakefile, Makefile.maint: Update from CVS Coreutils.
4719 2003-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4721 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
4722 AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, m4_include,
4723 and m4_sinclude.
4725 2003-08-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

4746 2003-08-14 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
4748 * lib/autotestgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Reformat test summary line to print
4749 DESCRIPTION rather than FILE and LINE. Shorten result to fit in new,
4750 shorter column three. Add DESCRIPTION to log file content.
4752 2003-08-13 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
4754 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Correct typo in final status
4755 output.
4757 2003-08-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
4759 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Use new _AT_CHECK API.
4760 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Move core functionality to...
4761 (_AT_CHECK): ...this new macro.
4763 2003-08-07 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
4765 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Move core functionality...
4766 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): ...to this new macro.
4768 2003-07-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4770 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): Work around a bug
4771 in Bash 2.01. Problem reported by Brian Gough in
4772 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-07/msg00106.html>.
4774 2003-07-25 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
4776 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Also ignore
4777 -lcrt1.o, for OS X. (trivial change)
4779 2003-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4781 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Wrap the '#define inline ...'
4782 inside '#ifndef __cplusplus'. Problem reported by
4783 Bob Friesenhahn.
4785 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
4787 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
4788 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
4789 (trivial change). See:
4790 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html
4791 (This really should be 'intptr_t', not 'long', but that would
4792 take more work.)
4794 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4796 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Make it read only.
4797 Depend on Makefile since it contains substitutions.
4798 From Paolo Bonzini.
4799 * lib/autom4te.in (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
4800 This change was made on autom4te.cfg which is generated.
4801 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
4803 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4805 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): sys/mount.h.
4806 From Gareth McCaughan.
4808 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4810 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
4811 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
4812 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
4813 top_srcdir to find config.log.
4814 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
4815 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
4817 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4819 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being
4820 always run: output config.log on $at_group_log.
4822 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4824 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Don't use quotes in
4825 C++ comments as it puzzles Emacs' sh font-lock-mode.
4827 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4829 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Fix output copyright notice.
4830 * lib/autom4te.cfg (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
4831 * tests/atspecific.m4: Rename as...

4834 * tests/local.at: here.
4835 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
4836 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
4838 2003-06-21 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4840 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extend test program to get an
4841 error from OSF 4.0 Compaq cc in its default almost-ANSI mode, thereby
4842 ensuring we add -std1 for full-ANSI.
4844 * doc/autoconf.texi (hdrindex): New macro.
4845 Add index entries for portability of various standard header files.
4847 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4849 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.57b.
4851 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4853 Version 2.57a.
4855 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4858 Reported by Marc Espie as PR/233.
4860 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4867 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp,

4871 2003-06-11 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
4873 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): Document AT_XFAIL_IF
4874 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_XFAIL_IF): New macro.
4875 (TEST_SCRIPT): New diversion.
4876 (AT_SETUP): Divert output to TEST_SCRIPT and move some code...
4877 (AT_CLEANUP): ...to here. Undivert TEST_SCRIPT.
4878 (AT_INIT): Support for expected failures.
4880 2003-06-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4882 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoheader.in: White space
4883 changes.
4884 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&backname): Remove, no longer used by
4885 Autoconf nor Automake.
4886 (&contents): New, from Automake.
4887 PODify.
4889 2003-05-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4891 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions),
4892 lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): Check that mktime
4893 is the inverse of localtime.
4895 2003-05-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4897 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Print diagnostics to STDERR.
4898 (handle_exec_errors): New function. Work around $! being
4899 altered by WEXITSTATUS.
4900 (xqx, xsystem): Use handle_exec_errors.
4902 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
4904 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.
4905 Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
4906 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
4907 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
4908 63 for version mismatches.
4910 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4912 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
4913 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
4914 the middle of a line).
4915 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
4916 Remove useless spaces in comments.
4918 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4920 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an
4921 exit 63, so that we (or Automake's "missing") can tell the
4922 difference with a plain failure.
4923 * doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): Adjust.
4925 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4927 * Makefile.am, bin/Makefile.am, config/Makefile.am,
4928 * doc/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
4929 White spaces cleanup.
4931 2003-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4932 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4934 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
4935 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
4936 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
4937 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
4938 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
4939 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
4940 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
4941 Keith Bostic in
4942 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
4943 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
4944 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
4946 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4948 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
4949 From Ian Redfern.
4951 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
4953 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
4954 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
4955 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
4957 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
4958 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
4959 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
4960 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
4961 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
4962 at_suite_log when a test fails.
4963 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
4964 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
4965 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
4966 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
4967 its original place.
4968 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
4969 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
4970 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
4971 and stderr.
4973 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
4974 the name of the debugging directory and information about
4975 its contents.
4977 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
4979 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_REQUIRE): Actually use the 2nd
4980 parameter.

5053 AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
5055 2003-05-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5057 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4: Include signal.h and unistd.h.

5092 and truncate.
5094 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5096 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
5097 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
5098 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
5099 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
5101 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.
5102 (&parse_args): Use --force with aclocal if required and supported.
5103 (&autoreconf_current_directory): Use &run_aclocal.

5110 * bin/autom4te.in (&Request::save, &Request::load): Use an IO::File
5111 argument instead of a file name, so that the request file remains
5112 open during the whole autom4te run.
5113 ($icache_file): New.
5114 (&freeze): Lock the $icache_file.
5116 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
5118 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
5119 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
5120 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
5121 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When
5122 grepping $at_help_all for keywords, use the field and keyword
5123 seperators to ensure a complete keyword match. Alter at_prev handling
5124 to support the new --keywords behavior.
5126 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
5128 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
5129 align better with others. I also made some of the individual
5130 entries on one line, for brevity and to make it easier for me to
5131 sort my dir-example file in the Texinfo distribution :).

5198 header causes problems.
5200 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5202 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Require aclocal
5203 1.4, otherwise the test fails, as it does support configure.ac.
5204 This fixes the "test 40 failed" bug reports.
5206 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5208 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): `#line' portability.

5214 layout in order to allow scripting around test groups.
5216 2003-03-27 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>

5226 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_VAR): Use AS_HELP_STRING instead of
5227 obsolete AC_HELP_STRING.
5228 (AC_HELP_STRING): AU_DEFUN to...
5229 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_HELP_STRING): ...here.
5230 * tests/m4sh.at (AS_HELP_STRING): New test.
5232 * tests/acgeneral.at: Regenerated.
5234 2003-03-26 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
5236 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/DEFAULT/DEFAULTS/ since it makes more
5237 sense. Verbosify the diversion definitions comment.

5273 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Remove the section
5274 about `$<' in inference rules, it was a bogus interpretation of
5275 an old Automake change. Discuss NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and
5276 Tru64 make in the "target lookup" section.
5277 (Automake): Automake 1.5+ no longer requires special tools to be
5278 present on the developer's host.
5280 2003-02-26 Richard Dawe <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
5282 * bin/autoheader.in (BEGIN): For DJGPP SHELL may not be set
5283 to a shell that can handle redirection or quoting correctly.

5286 * bin/autom4te.in (BEGIN): Likewise.
5287 * bin/autoreconf.in (BEGIN): Likewise.
5288 * bin/autoscan.in (BEGIN): Likewise.
5289 * bin/autoupdate.in (BEGIN): Likewise.
5290 * bin/ifnames.in (BEGIN): Likewise.
5292 * bin/ifnames.in: Add final newline to help and version messages.
5294 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Translate colons,
5295 to cope with DOS-style absolute paths, when constructing
5296 ${ac_make}.
5298 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES):
5299 When constructing paths with IFS=:, quote the path. If we're
5300 constructing a DOS-style absolute path, we don't want to split it
5301 on the colon.
5303 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Fix typo
5304 in description.
5306 2003-02-25 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

5314 2002-09-01 patch by replacing "test -n" with "test -z".
5315 This fixes a bug found by Jeff Painter and reported by Tom Epperly in
5316 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-02/msg00139.html>.
5318 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): test -n -> test -z,
5319 to fix a mismatch between example and discussion.
5321 2003-02-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
5323 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Add notes on printf
5324 format starting with "-".
5326 2003-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
5328 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): `foo=bar make -e'
5329 is not portable inside Makefile.
5331 2003-02-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5333 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): When
5334 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
5335 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
5336 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
5338 2003-02-20 Klee Dienes <kdienes@apple.com>
5340 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Properly
5341 handle an empty aclocal.m4.

5346 $ac_prefix_program.
5347 From Larry Jones.
5349 2002-12-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5351 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
5352 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
5353 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
5354 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
5355 gettimeofday and many other functions.
5357 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5359 Version 2.57.
5361 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
5363 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
5365 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
5366 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
5367 not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by
5368 Martin Frydl in
5369 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
5371 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
5372 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
5373 defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
5374 bug reported by Momchil Velkov in
5375 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014490.html>.
5377 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty
5378 arg, AC_DEFINE -> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED) in documentation for
5379 obsolete AC_CHECK_TYPE. The missing empty arg was reported
5380 by Simon Josefsson in

5383 * Makefile.maint (www-gnu): New macro.
5384 (standards.texi-url_prefix, make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Use it, as
5385 the location has moved.
5387 2002-12-02 Martin Frydl <martin@systinet.com>
5389 * bin/autom4te.in (at_flatten): rewritten to avoid M4 problem when
5390 \(.*\) match is too long and there is something more to be checked.
5391 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014524.html>
5393 2002-11-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5397 * config/install-sh: chmod +x.
5398 From Paul Eggert.
5399 * config/move-if-change: Indenting changes.
5400 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Move to...
5401 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): here.
5402 Require 1.7.1.
5404 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5406 Version 2.55.
5408 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/install-sh:
5409 Update from masters.
5411 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5413 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
5414 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
5415 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
5416 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
5417 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
5418 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for
5419 N_ and _.
5420 From Paul Eggert.
5422 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5424 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Compiling several files at once.
5425 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
5427 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5429 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Solitary backslashes.
5430 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
5432 2002-11-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
5434 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Initialize f=$1 rather
5435 than assigning in main, to avoid HP cc +O3 optimizing it away.
5437 2002-11-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
5439 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q
5440 option. Process --recheck after parsing all options. Pass -q
5441 option to configure on --recheck.
5442 (AC_OUTPUT): Pass -q from configure to config.status.
5443 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Strip -q from
5444 arguments to record.
5445 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Document
5446 config.status -q option.
5448 2002-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
5450 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Scan Makefile.am too. Ignore
5451 Makefile.in if Makefile.am exists.
5452 (output): Strip `.am' from Makefiles. Don't
5453 output AC_CONFIG_FILES if no Makefiles were found.
5455 2002-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5457 * Makefile.am (cvs_files): Add elisp-comp, mdate-sh.
5458 (local_updates): New.
5459 * Makefile.maint: Update, from CVS Bison.
5460 (local_updates): New.
5462 2002-11-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5464 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY): Wrap the `f'
5465 declaration in extern "C" too.
5466 Reported by Roberto Bagnara.
5468 2002-11-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5470 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Don't use grep
5471 -w.
5472 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Grep -w.
5473 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
5475 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5477 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
5478 Remove.
5479 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
5480 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
5481 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
5482 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
5483 otherwise available.])
5484 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
5485 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
5486 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
5487 was not compatible with Libtool.
5489 2002-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5491 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set the following variables,
5492 too: LC_ADDRESS, LC_IDENTIFICATION, LC_MEASUREMENT, LC_MONETARY,
5493 LC_NAME, LC_PAPER, LC_TELEPHONE.

5496 2002-11-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5498 Version 2.54c.
5500 * Makefile.maint (update, cvs-update, po-update, do-po-update):
5501 New.
5502 * config/texinfo.tex: Update.
5504 2002-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5506 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf_current_directory): New, extracted
5507 from...
5508 (&autoreconf): here.
5509 ($help, $make, &parse_args, &autoreconf_current_directory):
5510 Support -m/--make.
5511 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
5513 2002-10-31 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

5522 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5524 The test suite was no longer checking for trailing envvars and files.
5526 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): Don't use quadrigraphs here.
5527 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Make sure the `state-ls.before file exists.
5529 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5531 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use and display
5532 `$(MAKE)' instead of '${MAKE}' to emphasize that we refer to the
5533 Make variable, not a shell variable.
5534 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
5536 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5538 * bin/autom4te.in (load_configuration): Reject #args out of any
5539 language.
5541 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5543 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_MSG_LOG_CONFTEST): New.
5544 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE)
5545 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Use it.
5546 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT):
5547 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Likewise.
5548 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_SOURCE): Don't include confdefs.h,
5549 inline it.
5551 2002-10-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5553 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args, $help): Support --no-cache.
5554 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te Invocation): Adjust.
5555 Suggested by Tim van Holder.
5557 2002-10-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5559 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_MALLOC and
5560 AC_FUNC_REALLOC check for compatibility with glibc, not POSIX.
5561 Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
5563 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5565 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Put also in words what the
5566 pictures says to assist free style readers.
5567 (Customizing autom4te): s/--cache=/--cache /.

5585 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): New test.

5819 2002-10-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5821 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Don't check autoconf's stderr: there

5823 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
5824 Quote for Perl '' strings, not "".
5825 * bin/autoheader.in: Invoke autoconf to get '' strings, not ""
5826 strings.
5828 2002-10-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5830 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_QUOTE): The warning about quoted

5877 longer required can still cause errors.
5878 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
5880 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'
5881 to frozen files in @ARGV, as @ARGV must remain being a list of
5882 files. Rather, at M4 call sites, use this...
5883 (&files_to_options): New function.
5884 (&freeze): Use &error.
5885 (&up_to_date): If a file that was included according to the cache
5886 is no longer there, then the output is out dated.
5887 (&main): Don't even check whether a file is up to date is anyway
5888 --force is given.
5889 * tests/tools.at (autom4te cache): New.
5891 2002-10-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5895 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Remove dead options.
5896 Factor some code.
5897 (&autoreconf): Report the directories we enter *and leave*, so
5898 that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
5899 format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
5900 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
5901 if some file was changed instead of `print'.
5902 * bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.

5936 file name to enable parallel executions.
5937 From Sam Varshavchik.
5939 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5941 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
5942 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to
5943 aclocal.
5944 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
5945 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
5946 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
5948 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5950 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
5951 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,
5952 but it's how Perl getopt works.
5953 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
5954 "permute", too.
5955 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):
5956 --warning -> --warnings.

5976 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5978 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
5979 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
5980 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
5981 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
5983 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5999 (tm_zone): Move their rules to...
6000 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: here, using AN_ macros.
6001 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre (AWK, BISON, INSTALL, LEX, LN, MAKE)
6002 (RANLIB, YACC, awk, bison, byacc, flex, gawk, install, lex, ln)
6003 (make, mawk, nawk, ranlib, yacc): Similarly, move to...
6004 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: here.

6016 * lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.
6017 (.m4.m4f): Don't pass --prepend-include, since that's done by
6018 tests/autom4te itself.
6019 * lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
6020 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
6021 (autoscan.pre): New file.
6023 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6025 * bin/autoscan.in (@kinds): Make them singular.
6026 Adjust all uses.
6027 (&init_tables): When --debug, report the list of rules to ease
6028 tracking changes in autoscan.list.
6029 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list (function): Strip comments, sort.
6031 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6033 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
6034 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,

6042 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
6043 * lib/autoscan/programs: Make the `kind' explicit, i.e., each
6044 `functions' line is now prefixed with `function:'.
6045 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
6047 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6049 From now on, autoscan files must always map a macro name to a
6050 word: there is no `default' macro for autoscan.
6052 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
6053 all.
6054 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
6055 explicit.
6057 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6059 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Remove.
6060 (&used): Keep only track of the words we might be interested in.

6075 Thanks to Bill Moseley and Paul Eggert.
6076 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): $2 is the directory into which
6077 the tmpdir must be created.
6078 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Have the tmp
6079 dir be in the build tree, instead of $TMPDIR.
6081 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6083 * bin/autoscan.in: Improve the comments.
6084 (&parse_args): Drop obsolete undocumented options.

6093 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Likewise.
6095 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6097 Single suffix rules and seperated dependencies are not portable.
6099 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Update.
6100 (Limitations of Make): Some about `Single Suffix Rules and
6101 Separated Dependencies'.
6102 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
6103 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Un-factor into several rules.
6105 2002-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6107 * BUGS (Interoperability bugs): New section. Mention libtool
6108 1.4.2, configure.ac, and AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interoperability bug.
6110 2002-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6112 Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
6113 make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
6115 * bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
6116 (autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
6117 Move the body of the old .in rule here.
6119 2002-09-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6121 i960 compilers create `b.out' files by default.
6122 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
6124 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Remove b.out files.
6125 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Adjust to b.out.
6127 2002-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6129 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Remove obsolete
6130 reference to `struct timezone' in the description of
6131 AC_HEADER_TIME.
6133 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6135 Version 2.54.
6137 * config/config.sub, config/config.guess: Update.
6138 * Makefile.maint: Update from bits of the Coreutils 4.5.1.
6139 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
6141 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6143 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Suggest
6144 reading config.log when the compiler is rejected.
6145 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
6147 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6149 * bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
6150 (chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
6151 Reported by Vance Shipley.
6153 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6155 * bin/autoscan.in (&parse_args): Pass a reference to the lists, not
6156 the lists.
6158 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6160 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
6161 prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
6162 difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.
6164 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
6166 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
6168 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6170 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
6171 grammatical typos.
6172 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
6173 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
6174 is obsolescent.
6176 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6178 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
6179 (FAQ): this.
6180 (Defining Directories): New.
6182 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6184 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
6185 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
6187 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
6189 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
6190 plain `@' is wanted.
6192 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6194 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
6195 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
6196 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
6197 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
6198 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
6199 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
6200 cases.
6202 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6204 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
6205 looking for a replacement file.
6206 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
6207 directory is relative.
6208 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
6209 directory definition.
6210 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
6212 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6214 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
6215 precious variables are.
6216 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
6218 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6220 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
6221 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
6222 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
6223 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
6224 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
6225 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
6227 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
6229 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
6230 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
6232 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6234 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
6235 Automake 1.6c.
6236 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
6237 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
6239 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6241 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
6242 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
6243 Brinkmann.
6245 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6247 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
6248 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
6249 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
6251 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6253 Version 2.53c.
6255 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6257 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
6258 SITE_MACRO_DIR.
6259 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
6261 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
6263 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
6264 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
6265 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
6267 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6269 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
6270 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
6272 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6274 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
6275 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
6276 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
6277 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
6279 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6281 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
6282 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
6283 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
6285 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
6287 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
6288 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
6289 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
6290 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
6291 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
6293 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
6294 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
6295 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
6297 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
6299 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
6300 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
6302 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
6303 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
6304 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
6305 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
6306 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
6307 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
6308 to shorten the output script.
6310 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6312 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
6313 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
6314 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
6315 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
6316 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
6317 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
6318 example, since the old example is now out of date.
6320 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
6321 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
6322 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
6323 spaghetti.
6325 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
6326 of rolling our own unset.
6327 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
6328 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
6330 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
6331 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
6332 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
6333 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
6334 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
6335 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
6337 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
6338 Update.
6340 * configure: Regenerate with self.
6342 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
6344 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Notes on "cc"
6345 default output.
6347 2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
6349 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::load): Correctly test for "do" read
6350 failure.
6352 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6354 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
6355 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
6356 hand, which is not portable.
6357 (&error): New.
6358 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
6359 Use &error instead of die.
6360 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
6361 Adjust.
6363 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6365 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
6366 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
6367 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
6369 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6371 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
6372 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
6373 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
6374 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
6376 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
6378 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
6379 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
6380 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te
6381 --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
6382 use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
6383 * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
6384 arguments from each language section.
6386 2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6388 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
6390 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
6391 Replace with:
6392 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
6393 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
6394 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
6395 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
6397 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6399 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
6400 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
6401 `make -k'.
6403 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
6405 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
6406 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.
6408 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6410 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE):
6411 Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002
6412 apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".".
6413 Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl.
6415 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6417 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the special
6418 handling of the obj/ directory by BSD make.
6420 2002-07-20 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
6422 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Add HP-UX IA-64 trailing
6423 backslashes.
6425 2002-07-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6434 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6436 Version 2.53b.
6438 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6440 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Update.
6442 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6444 Handle LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS once for all, including Libtool's and
6445 Automake's parts.
6447 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): New.
6448 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE): Call it.
6449 * tests/semantics.at (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Adjust.
6451 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>,
6452 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6454 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Install

6460 description of the tarname default.

6464 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FORK): Don't set
6465 ac_cv_func_fork_works before running _AC_FUNC_FORK, do it if the
6466 latter was not run.
6468 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6470 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (find_file): Browse the directories in
6471 the order they are given.
6473 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6475 * tests/wrapsh.as, tests/wrappl.as: Merge into...
6476 * tests/wrapper.as: this.
6477 * tests/Makefile.am, configure.ac: Adjust.
6479 2002-07-17 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>

6494 * tests/wrapsh.in: Use --prepend-include instead of --include.
6496 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6498 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): `_' is allowed in
6499 tarnames.

6502 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6504 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_REALLOC, _AC_FUNC_REALLOC)
6505 (_AC_FUNC_MALLOC): New.

6532 2002-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6534 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
6535 bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
6536 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Add local variables
6537 so that Emacs setups GNU style for perl-mode and cperl-mode.
6539 2002-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6541 * config/install-sh: Quote $src. Prefer || to test's -o option,
6542 as per "Limitations of Builtins".
6543 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Likewise, for && vs test -a.
6544 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
6546 * tests/mktests.sh: Use grep instead of fgrep, as per
6547 "Limitations of Builtins".
6549 2002-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6551 * tests/wrapsh.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOM4TE, AUTOM4TE_CFG,
6552 autom4te_perllibdir): Set to top build dir or src dir as appropriate,
6553 so that we consistently test the just-built programs.

6574 2002-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>

6586 2002-06-07 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
6588 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Use

6596 * tests/mktests.sh (exclude_list): Exclude AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH,
6597 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU.
6599 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6601 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Point to Tru64 docs, and the
6602 Rosetta Stone for Unix.
6604 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6606 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): When rejecting a token,
6607 suggest m4_pattern_allow.
6608 Suggested by Adam J. Richter.
6610 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6612 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Initialize
6613 ac_config_libobj_dir.

6615 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Split into...
6616 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_IF, _AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): these.
6617 Use ac_config_libobj_dir to find the replacement files.
6618 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): Split into...

6673 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove cf77 and cft77
6674 from the default list of compilers to try. Suggested by
6675 Kate Hedstrom.
6676 * NEWS: Document the above.
6677 * doc/autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler): Don't suggest cf77.
6679 2002-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6681 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Work correctly even if
6682 the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff.
6683 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
6685 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6687 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
6688 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
6689 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
6690 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
6692 * NEWS: Document this.
6693 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
6695 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
6696 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
6697 not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
6698 reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior.
6699 Add new optional argument DIR.
6700 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro.
6702 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro.
6704 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6706 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
6707 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
6708 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
6709 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
6711 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
6712 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
6713 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
6714 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
6715 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
6716 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
6718 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
6719 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
6720 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
6721 textutils.
6722 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
6723 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
6724 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by
6725 Paul D. Smith.
6727 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6729 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
6730 autopoint instead of gettextize.
6731 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
6732 ($uses_aclocal): this.
6733 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
6734 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
6736 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6738 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_map_sep): New.
6740 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6742 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
6743 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
6744 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
6745 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
6747 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
6749 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
6750 under node "Limitations of Builtins".
6752 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6754 * doc/install.texi: Better wording for setting variables when
6755 running configure.
6756 From Christian Cornelssen.
6758 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6760 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
6761 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
6762 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
6763 course.
6764 Be sure to protect it.
6765 Reported by Patrick Welche.
6767 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6769 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
6770 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
6772 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6774 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
6775 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
6776 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
6777 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
6779 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6781 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.
6782 Thanks to Paul Eggert.
6784 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6786 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
6787 and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
6788 AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
6789 DEFAULT diversion.
6790 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
6791 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
6792 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the
6793 _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in
6794 _AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS.
6795 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
6797 2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6799 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after autoconf and
6800 autoheader, so that automake does not complain about a missing
6801 config.h.in that was to be created.
6803 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6805 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.
6806 Fixes PR/220.

6855 Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
6857 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
6858 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
6859 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
6860 all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate
6861 the manual now.
6863 Fix some bugs when using "$@" when there might be zero positional

6887 2002-04-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6889 * bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_macros): Honor AU_DEFUNs

6916 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
6917 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):

6966 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
6967 results in failures being hidden.

6970 after the second argument.

7040 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
7041 about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
7042 SHELL.
7044 2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7046 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
7047 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
7049 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
7050 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
7051 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.
7053 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7055 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): s/unknow/unknown/.
7056 From Aaron Ucko.
7058 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7060 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Specify the location in `&used'
7061 invocations.
7062 From Nicolas Joly.
7064 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7066 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust @code/@command, @xref/@ref usage.
7067 From Nishio Futoshi.
7069 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7071 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_define_default, m4_fst, m4_map): New.
7073 2002-03-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7075 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Add AS_MKDIR_P.
7076 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
7078 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
7079 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
7080 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
7081 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
7082 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
7083 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
7085 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
7086 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
7087 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
7088 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
7089 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
7091 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7093 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
7094 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
7095 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
7096 says 'times: not found'.
7098 2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7100 * bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
7101 (&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.
7102 Rerun aclocal if needed.
7103 Suggested by Andreas Schwab.
7105 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7107 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): More about IFS.
7109 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7111 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): New.
7112 Add information about stdint.h and inttypes.h from Paul Eggert.
7114 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7116 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about `cp
7117 -p'.
7118 From Bob Proulx.
7120 2002-03-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7122 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): AS_REQUIRE, not
7123 m4_require.
7125 2002-03-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
7127 * configure.ac: Explicitly check for EMACS since AM_PATH_LISPDIR
7128 does not do it if --with-lispdir is given.
7130 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7132 Version 2.53.
7134 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7136 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Clarify that the
7137 subdirectory should exist.
7139 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7141 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.6.
7143 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7145 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
7146 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
7147 affect the latter.
7149 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7151 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
7152 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
7154 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7156 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,
7157 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
7158 * bin/ifnames.in: Copyright update.
7160 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

7164 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7166 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Clarification suggested by
7167 Kevin Ryde.
7169 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7171 Version 2.52i.
7173 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7175 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS): New.
7176 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INIT): More informative error
7177 message for LIBOBJ.
7179 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7181 * lib/freeze.mk ($(build_libdir)/m4sugar/version.m4): New, for
7182 parallel builds.
7184 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7186 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
7187 and host is irrelevant.
7188 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
7189 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
7190 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
7191 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
7192 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
7193 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
7195 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7197 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
7198 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
7199 useless.
7200 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
7201 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
7202 evaluation is the current item.
7203 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
7205 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7207 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
7208 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
7210 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
7211 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
7212 the last...
7213 (m4_lquote): New.
7214 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
7215 efficient.
7216 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
7217 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
7218 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
7219 (m4_cdr): New.
7220 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
7221 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
7222 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
7224 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7226 * doc/autoconf.texi (Changequote is Evil): New.
7228 2002-03-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

7231 on old systems like SunOS.
7233 2002-03-01 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
7235 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,

7250 2002-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7252 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): Fix the test.
7253 From Akinori Musha.
7255 2002-02-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7257 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (getline, getlines): New functions,
7258 translate \r\n to \n.
7260 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7262 Version 2.52h.
7264 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7266 Fix Autoconf PR/209.
7267 Also reported by Frank Denis.
7269 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Don't over quote.
7271 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7273 Fix Autoconf PR/207:
7274 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
7276 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
7277 variable when looking for the prefix program.
7278 Now it also works for shell variables.
7280 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7282 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): More about
7283 case/esac.
7285 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7287 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Don't output empty
7288 case/esac, some shells don't support it.
7289 Reported by Zack Weinberg.
7290 * tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS with empty commands): New.
7292 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7294 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): When handling --keywords, be
7295 sure not to introduce newlines in at_groups.
7296 * lib/autotest/Makefile.am (autotest.m4f): Typo.
7298 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7300 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Skip if aclocal
7301 is not available.
7303 2002-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7305 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specific Compiler Characteristics):
7306 Describe HP-UX cc bug workaround more accurately.
7307 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast to long,
7308 not unsigned long.
7309 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Check non-GCC
7310 cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
7311 to this file.
7313 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7315 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,
7316 to make sure they are up to date when `check' is run.
7318 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7320 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Document
7321 package.m4.
7323 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7325 * lib/freeze.mk: New.
7327 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7329 Implement `autom4te --freeze'.
7331 * bin/autom4te.in (&freeze): New.
7332 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4, lib/autotest/general.m4,
7333 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Don't include files given by autom4te.
7335 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7337 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Implement `frozen files are
7338 optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
7339 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
7340 (handle_m4): don't.
7341 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
7342 (M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
7343 (Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.
7345 2002-01-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7347 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Accept $4.
7348 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Adjust.
7350 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7352 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Map non
7353 alphanumeric to `-' instead of `_'.
7355 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7357 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Split into two tests: one
7358 for plain code, the other for cross-compilation code. The latter
7359 is now run with GCC only.
7360 * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors): New.
7362 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7364 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Support pre-defined
7365 values.
7366 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Explain how to
7367 change AC_INIT default values.
7369 2002-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7371 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use configure.in,
7372 so that aclocal 1.4 works.
7373 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz and Larry Schmitt.
7375 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7377 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
7378 needs an argument.
7380 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7382 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
7383 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
7384 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
7385 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
7386 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
7387 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
7388 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
7389 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
7390 useless.
7391 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.
7393 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7395 Version 2.52g.
7397 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

7400 * doc/autoconf.texi: Finally add Akim as an author.
7402 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7404 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.
7405 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Don't expect $SHELL to be
7406 Bourne. Use /bin/sh.
7407 From Andreas Buening.
7409 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7411 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:

7421 Automake.
7423 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7425 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS)
7426 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Support -n as --no-create, as documented.
7427 Reported by Geir Ove Myhr.
7429 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7431 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): #Undef malloc.
7433 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7435 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Use a more GNUish error
7436 message on invalid options.
7437 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't use
7438 Autoconf::General::getopt with non valid options.
7440 2002-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
7442 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Initialize
7443 $ac_cv_exeext so we don't use an old, invalid, cached value.
7445 2002-01-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7447 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRNLEN): New, from Jim
7448 Meyering.

7450 limitation.

7456 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
7457 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
7458 configure.
7459 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
7460 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
7461 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
7463 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7465 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the AC_SUBST
7466 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
7467 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
7468 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
7469 arguments.
7470 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
7471 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
7472 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
7473 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
7474 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
7476 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7478 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Use `&used'.
7480 2002-01-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7482 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Improved wording regarding use of
7483 AC_OUTPUT.
7484 From Olly Betts.

7488 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on sscanf
7489 sometimes needing writable input.
7491 2001-12-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
7493 * doc/autoconf.texi (New Macros): Tweak wording.
7495 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7497 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
7498 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
7499 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
7500 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
7502 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
7504 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.
7506 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7508 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
7510 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
7512 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename buildpath to
7513 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
7514 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.

7528 * doc/autoconf.texi (File Descriptors): Use a clearer layout for the
7529 forbidden file descriptors table.
7531 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7533 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Build it at top level.
7534 Map to 1 in order to simplify its uses.
7536 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7538 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
7539 Remove $filepath, useless.
7540 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
7541 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
7542 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
7543 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
7544 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
7545 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
7546 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
7548 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7550 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
7551 Remove, replaced by...
7552 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
7553 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
7554 * configure.ac: Adjust.
7555 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
7557 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7559 * bin/autoscan.in (used): New.
7560 Use it.
7562 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7564 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file): Better parsing of CPP
7565 directives.
7566 (&scan_sh_file): Remove a duplicate pattern.
7567 (&check_configure_ac): Use long options.
7568 * lib/autoscan/headers (alloca.h): Check with AC_FUNC_ALLOCA.
7570 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7572 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_c_file): Fix the handling of C comments.
7573 Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
7574 comment made the whole line be ignored.
7576 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7578 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
7579 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.
7580 (Autotest Logs): New.
7582 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7584 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
7586 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
7587 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
7588 at_top_builddir.
7589 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
7590 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
7591 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
7592 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
7594 2001-11-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
7596 * doc/autoconf.texi, TODO, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
7597 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/headers.m4,
7598 tests/atgeneral.m4, tests/tools.at, tests/atspecific.m4: Fix
7599 spelling errors.
7601 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7603 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
7604 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
7606 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7608 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
7609 spotted by Jim Meyering.
7611 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7613 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
7615 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
7616 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
7617 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
7618 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
7619 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
7620 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
7621 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
7622 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
7623 * NEWS: Likewise.
7625 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7627 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
7628 hand.
7629 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
7631 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7633 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
7634 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
7636 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7638 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
7639 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
7640 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
7641 option.
7642 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
7643 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
7644 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
7645 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
7646 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
7647 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
7649 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7651 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
7652 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
7653 configure.ac.
7654 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
7656 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7658 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
7659 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
7660 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
7661 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
7662 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
7663 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
7665 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7667 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
7668 in PATH.
7669 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
7670 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
7671 suite.
7672 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
7674 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7676 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
7677 in place.
7679 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7681 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
7682 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
7684 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
7685 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
7686 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
7687 (AT_INIT): Adjust.
7688 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
7689 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
7691 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7693 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
7694 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
7695 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
7697 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
7698 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
7699 are new variables.
7700 Create the directories.
7701 Use absolute paths for at- files.
7702 (AT_CHECK): Adjust.
7704 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
7706 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
7707 (m4_car2): New.
7708 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
7710 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7712 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
7713 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
7715 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7717 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
7718 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
7719 __PROTOTYPES too.
7721 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7723 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
7725 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7727 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
7728 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
7729 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
7730 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
7731 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
7732 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
7734 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7736 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
7737 From Jim Meyering.
7739 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7741 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
7742 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
7743 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
7744 `missing' itself contains variables.
7746 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7748 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
7749 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
7750 the test suites.
7752 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7754 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
7755 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
7756 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
7757 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
7758 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
7760 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7762 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
7763 processed only if present.
7764 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
7765 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
7766 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
7767 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
7769 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
7771 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
7772 doesn't accept .S files.
7774 2001-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7776 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_pattern_forbid): Accepts $2.
7777 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INTI): Forbid LIBOBJS.
7778 (_AC_LIBOBJ): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/.
7779 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): New.
7780 (handle_output): Use it.
7781 Read m4_pattern_forbid with messages.
7783 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7785 * bin/autom4te.in (--normalize): Remove.
7786 * lib/autom4te.in: Adjust.
7788 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7790 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Rename this target as...
7791 ($(TESTSUITE)): this.
7792 From Nicolas Joly.
7794 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7796 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
7797 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
7799 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7801 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Update.
7802 (Writing testsuite.at): Update.
7804 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7806 * doc/autoconf.texi: s/@code/@command/ where appropriate.
7808 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7810 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: (&catfile, &canonfile)
7811 (&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
7812 File::Spec.
7813 Use and export them.
7814 (&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
7815 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
7816 the arguments.
7817 Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
7818 (&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
7819 Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
7820 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
7822 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7824 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
7825 (@export_forward_subs): New.
7826 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
7827 (@EXPORT): Adjust.
7828 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
7829 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
7830 used.
7831 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
7832 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
7834 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7836 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
7837 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
7838 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
7839 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
7841 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7843 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
7845 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7847 Version 2.52f.
7849 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7851 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
7852 * config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
7853 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
7855 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7857 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
7858 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
7859 From Ezra Peisach.
7860 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
7862 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7864 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
7865 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
7866 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
7867 than character ranges.
7869 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
7870 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
7871 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
7872 behavior.
7873 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
7875 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7877 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
7878 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
7880 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
7881 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
7882 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
7883 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
7884 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
7885 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
7886 output and chmod failures.
7888 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
7889 the above.
7891 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7893 * tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
7894 handles it now.
7896 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7898 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
7899 AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
7900 provided, while it is optional.
7901 * configure.ac: Adjust.
7903 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7905 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
7906 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
7907 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
7908 with 5.005_02.
7910 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
7911 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
7913 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
7914 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
7915 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
7917 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7919 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.
7921 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7923 * m4/: Remove, merged into...
7924 * config/: here.
7926 2001-10-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
7928 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the problems with bash
7929 2.05's use of ANSI quoting in its `set' builtin.
7931 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
7933 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
7934 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
7935 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
7936 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
7937 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
7938 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
7940 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
7941 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
7942 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
7944 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
7946 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7948 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of
7949 the executable was missing from the log.
7951 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7953 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): If destination is
7954 unchanged, remove the source.
7955 (&up_to_date_p): Don't be verbose, be debug.
7956 * bin/autoreconf.in: No longer support --m4dir.
7957 (&autoreconf): Display the full path of the configure.ac we are
7958 studying.
7959 Trace it only once.
7960 Be sure to honor --force with gettextize.
7961 Always run aclocal.
7962 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
7964 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7966 * bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
7967 Remove, dead.
7968 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
7969 `intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
7970 (&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
7971 options.
7972 ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
7973 (@include): New.
7974 (&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
7976 2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <petersen@redhat.com>
7978 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.
7979 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Likewise.
7981 2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7983 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Name the generated
7984 file in @configure_input@.
7985 Don't mention `automatically' in addition to `generated'.
7986 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Adjust.
7988 2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7990 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: In a
7991 comment, explain how to install automatic mode selection.
7992 From Russ Allbery.
7994 2001-10-19 Ezra Peisach <epeisach@zif.mit.edu>
7996 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Display the path to the
7997 configure.ac being studied.
7999 2001-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
8001 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast sizeof to unsigned
8002 long, to work around a bug in the HP C compiler version HP92453-01
8003 B.11.11.23709.GP.
8005 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works.
8006 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.
8007 (AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics.
8008 (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
8009 and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
8010 AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
8011 (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
8012 contains white space.
8013 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
8014 Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
8015 * tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
8016 Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows
8017 either behavior.
8019 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8021 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Recognize
8022 `a_out.exe' for OpenVMS 7.1, DEC C 5.5 compiler, via GNV.
8023 From Eric Sharkey.
8025 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8027 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): m4_defun, not
8028 m4_define, since...
8029 (_AS_ECHO_N): AS_REQUIREs it.
8031 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8033 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS)

8206 compatibility with POSIX shells.

8235 Don't use nested parenthesization. This patch was originally

8282 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.
8283 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
8284 AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.
8285 (Test Programs): AC_TRY_RUN works as used to be advertised.
8287 2001-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8289 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix bugs spotted by
8290 Raja R Harinath:
8291 Be sure to detect when $LINENO always returns the same value.

8293 enough.

8296 2001-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8298 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Dump the whole config.log.

8412 2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

8466 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
8467 From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.

8485 to getpgrp.
8487 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
8488 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
8489 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
8490 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
8491 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
8493 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

8506 correctly.
8507 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
8508 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
8509 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
8510 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
8511 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
8512 one line out...
8513 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
8514 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
8516 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8518 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
8519 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
8520 This also solves the name clash problems.
8521 Don't set the package's ID.
8522 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
8523 No longer to be shipped.
8524 (version.in): Remove.
8525 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
8526 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.
8527 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
8528 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
8529 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
8530 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
8531 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
8532 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
8533 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.
8535 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8537 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Preselect AM_CONDITIONAL,
8538 AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.
8539 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't abort when a tested
8540 program version string doesn't match the package's.
8541 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Reestablish the space
8542 after `(cached)'.
8544 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
8546 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
8547 Allow expression to return any value that can fit into unsigned long
8548 (not int, as before). Check for output errors.
8550 2001-09-17 Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>
8552 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
8553 Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
8554 the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
8555 fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
8556 Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
8558 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
8560 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
8561 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
8562 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
8563 when they don't exist.
8565 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
8566 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
8567 need it.
8569 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
8570 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
8571 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
8572 we don't need it.
8574 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
8576 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8578 * tests/base.at, tests/m4sh.at: Be sure to issue the bangshe line
8579 _first_.
8580 Reported by Gerrit P. Haase.
8582 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8584 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Reset `AT_victims' so that
8585 m4_defn'ing is valid.

8600 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER, AC_CONFIG_LINKS):
8601 Likewise.
8602 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_REPLACEMENT_TYPE_P)
8603 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_MAYBE_TYPE_P, AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Likewise.
8604 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Rename AT_TESTS_ALL as
8605 AT_tests_all for consistency.
8606 Set at_victims.
8607 (AT_VICTIMS): Similar to AT_KEYWORDS.
8608 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE_IF): Use m4_match and m4_re_escape.
8610 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8612 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Fix stupid bugs.
8614 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8616 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
8617 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple
8618 test suites can cohabit.
8620 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8622 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
8624 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8626 Test suites can be run independently of configure.

8668 (m4_list_append): Remove.
8670 Spread a few keywords in the Autoconf test suite.
8672 2001-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8674 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't pass
8675 PATH_SEPARATOR, let M4sh compute it.
8676 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): New.
8677 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_SHELL_PATH_WALK): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.

8690 2001-09-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8692 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): `< /dev/null' so that GNU M4 1.5
8693 doesn't neutralize SIGINT, making autoconf etc. non interruptible.
8694 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Move the package
8695 related variables into `at_package_*'.
8696 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_VICTIMS): New.

8705 Move toward possibly stand-alone test suites.
8707 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Stop displaying srcdir everywhere as,
8708 in addition, it introduces useless differences in logs.
8709 (AT_INIT): Let atconfig and atlocal be both optional.
8710 Adjust PATH computation.
8711 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_UNAME): More readable display of PATH.

8720 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Use `_array_'
8721 to avoid GCC warnings.
8722 From Uwe Seimet.
8724 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8726 * bin/autom4te.in: --language is -l, not -s.
8728 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8730 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
8731 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
8733 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
8734 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
8736 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
8737 the wrong one.
8739 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to
8740 4m.
8742 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8744 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: New lib file.
8745 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.pl, bin/autom4te.in,

8758 * bin/autoscan.in: Use `getopt' and `find_files' etc.
8759 Add -I, --include support.
8760 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoscan Invocation): Adjust.
8762 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8764 CVS GNU M4 doesn't like `undefine(undefined)'.
8766 * bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros):
8767 New, extracted from main.
8768 Use IO::File wherever possible.
8769 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
8770 Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
8771 Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
8772 `unm4.m4'.
8774 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8776 Version 2.52d.
8778 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

8797 * lib/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add autom4te.cfg.
8799 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8801 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
8802 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
8803 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
8805 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8807 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
8808 inverse order.
8810 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8812 * bin/autoupdate.in (@include): `installcheck' revealed the path
8813 to m4sugar was lacking!
8815 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8817 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass
8818 autom4te_perllibdir.
8820 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8822 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to
8823 debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to
8824 run is stupid.
8826 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8828 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from `@include'.
8829 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
8830 Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.
8831 * tests/autoupdate: $top_srcdir/lib is needed too for melt files.
8833 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8835 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Missing eol.
8836 * bin/autoheader.in (%symbol): Strip arguments of macros.

8842 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8844 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Die on unknown languages.
8845 * bin/autoheader.in: Run directly autom4te --mode=autoconf, no
8846 need for autoconf.
8847 Promote --include over --macrodir and other obsolete options.
8849 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8851 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm ($version, $help, &getopt): New.
8852 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
8853 * bin/autom4te.in ($autoconf): Pass --force.
8854 `print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
8855 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
8856 (autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
8857 the time stamps.
8858 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
8860 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8862 * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.
8863 Check the completeness of the #template.

8866 invocation.
8868 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8870 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &update_file): New.
8871 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
8872 Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
8873 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
8874 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
8875 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
8877 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8879 * bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.
8880 * tests/autoheader: Adjust.
8882 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8884 * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
8885 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
8886 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
8887 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
8888 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
8889 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
8890 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
8891 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
8892 * tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
8894 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8896 * bin/autoconf.in: Don't bother with `acsite.m4' and `aclocal.m4'.
8897 * bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
8898 optionally `FILE'.
8899 Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
8900 (&parse_args): Adjust.
8901 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
8903 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8905 * configure.ac: Also find tested executables in bin.
8906 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
8907 * bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
8908 installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
8909 Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
8910 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
8911 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
8912 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
8913 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
8914 find the executables for it.
8915 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
8916 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
8917 We only need PERL.
8918 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
8919 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
8920 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
8921 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
8922 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
8923 * tests/autoscan: New.
8924 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
8925 refer to library files: rely on --language.
8927 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8929 * bin/autom4te.in, lib/autom4te.in, bin/autoconf.in:
8930 s/--set/--language/.
8932 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8934 * doc/autoconf.texi: Strip the @nodes.
8935 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
8936 (Initializing configure): Typo.
8938 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8940 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): s/@__@/@&t@/.
8941 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
8943 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8945 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
8946 download in a tmp dir.
8948 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8950 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
8951 case insensitive OSes out there :(
8952 From Tim Van Holder.
8954 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8956 * lib/autom4te.in: New.
8957 * lib/Makefile.am (edit, autom4te.cfg): New.
8958 * bin/autom4te.in (BEGIN): Simplify.
8959 Rely on `AC_MACRODIR' in addition of `autom4te_perllibdir'.

8961 (&parse_args): Support --mode, --set, and --melt.
8962 * bin/autoconf.in: Simplify and adjust.
8963 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE): Use --set.
8964 * tests/atlocal.in: Adjust.
8965 * BUGS: distcheck and check are weak.
8967 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8969 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use
8970 foo=`(command) 2>/dev/null`

9485 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
9487 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
9489 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
9490 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
9491 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
9492 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
9494 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
9496 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
9497 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
9498 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
9500 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9502 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
9503 effects.
9504 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
9506 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
9508 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
9509 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
9511 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
9513 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
9514 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
9516 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9518 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
9520 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9522 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
9523 removed.
9524 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
9525 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
9526 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
9527 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
9528 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
9530 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9532 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
9533 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
9534 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
9536 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
9537 Dump information on the first run of each test.
9538 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
9539 test group.
9541 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9543 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
9544 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
9545 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
9546 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
9548 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
9549 does not like `' instead of [].
9550 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
9551 And don't output such tokens.
9552 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
9553 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
9554 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
9555 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
9556 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
9557 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
9559 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9561 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
9563 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
9565 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
9567 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9569 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
9570 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
9571 AC_TRY_LINK.
9572 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
9573 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
9574 (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
9576 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9578 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
9579 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
9580 files.
9582 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
9583 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
9584 (@Request::source): Rename as...
9585 (@Request::input): this.
9586 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
9587 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
9588 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
9589 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
9590 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
9592 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9594 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
9595 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
9597 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
9598 (Request::id): this.
9599 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
9600 (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
9601 (&handle_output): Adjust.
9602 (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
9603 (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
9604 Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
9606 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9608 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
9609 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
9610 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
9611 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
9613 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9615 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
9616 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
9617 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
9619 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
9620 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
9621 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
9622 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
9623 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
9624 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
9625 (&mtime): New, export it.
9626 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
9627 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
9628 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
9630 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9632 Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
9633 must be proposed to the users.
9635 * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
9636 (@preselect): New.
9637 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
9638 (&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
9639 * bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
9641 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9643 * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
9644 macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
9645 lines arguments.
9647 2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
9649 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without
9650 arguments.
9652 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9654 * bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
9655 From Nicolas Joly.
9657 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9659 Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.
9661 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins
9662 trace requests.
9663 (@m4_builtins): Rename as...
9664 (@m4_builtin): this.
9665 (%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New.
9666 (&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names.
9667 (&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here.
9668 (&trace_requests): Remove, unused.
9670 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9672 * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit,
9673 m4_if, and m4_wrap.
9675 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9677 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): Also forbid `_m4_*' tokens.
9678 (m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
9679 mismatch happens.
9680 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
9681 occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
9682 Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
9683 the appear in the output.
9684 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
9685 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
9686 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
9687 autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
9688 Check that `dnl' is caught.
9690 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9692 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52c.
9694 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9696 Version 2.52b.
9698 * lib/Autom4te/Makefile.am (perllibdir): s/Autoconf/Autom4te/.

9704 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

9707 `die'.
9708 (&END): New.
9709 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Remove your
9710 `END', as `Autom4te::General::END' will be triggered.
9711 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Improve error messages accuracy.
9712 * bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of

10147 cross-language link tests can be performed successfully.
10148 (_AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Require AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN. Also put $FLIBS
10149 after $LIBS, for consistency; this should be the general rule since
