45 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Invoke _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not
46 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, since we now assume our caller invokes
47 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE, for symmetry with _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.

49 of AC_RUN_IFELSE; this avoids the warning mentioned above.

113 -c -o might not work. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
114 (C Compiler, Generating Sources, Limitations
115 of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):

542 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

546 Actually, use AU_ALIAS.
549 2003-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
551 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): If mkdir -p . fails,
552 rm -fr ./-p to remove junk left behind on NextStep and OpenStep.

558 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
559 Reported by Henk Krus.
560 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
562 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
564 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
565 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
566 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...

581 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
582 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
583 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
584 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
585 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
586 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.

588 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a

685 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
686 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
687 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
688 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest

813 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
814 * bin/autoscan.in: Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs.

817 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
819 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
820 including when the cache is used.
822 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
823 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
824 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
825 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
826 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
828 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
830 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
831 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
832 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
833 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
834 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
835 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
836 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
837 failure, hence we can use the cache.
838 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
839 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
841 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
842 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
843 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
844 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
845 the latter reveals calls to the former.
849 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
851 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
853 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):

869 ($configure_ac): Remove.
870 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_configure_ac, &canonfile)
872 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
873 * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust.
875 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
877 * bin/autoheader.in: Remove duplicate 'use Autom4te::FileUtils'.
878 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
880 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
882 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
883 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
884 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
885 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
886 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
887 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
888 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.

1013 top_srcdir to find config.log.
1014 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of

1074 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_XFAIL_IF): New macro.
1075 (TEST_SCRIPT): New diversion.
1076 (AT_SETUP): Divert output to TEST_SCRIPT and move some code...
1077 (AT_CLEANUP): ...to here. Undivert TEST_SCRIPT.
1078 (AT_INIT): Support for expected failures.
1080 2003-06-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1082 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoheader.in: White space
1084 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&backname): Remove, no longer used by
1085 Autoconf nor Automake.
1086 (&contents): New, from Automake.
1089 2003-05-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1091 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions),
1092 lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): Check that mktime
1093 is the inverse of localtime.
1095 2003-05-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1097 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Print diagnostics to STDERR.
1098 (handle_exec_errors): New function. Work around $! being
1099 altered by WEXITSTATUS.
1100 (xqx, xsystem): Use handle_exec_errors.
1102 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1104 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.
1105 Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
1106 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
1107 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
1108 63 for version mismatches.
1110 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1112 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
1113 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
1114 the middle of a line).
1115 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
1116 Remove useless spaces in comments.
1118 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1120 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an
1121 exit 63, so that we (or Automake's "missing") can tell the
1122 difference with a plain failure.
1123 * doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): Adjust.
1125 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1127 * Makefile.am, bin/Makefile.am, config/Makefile.am,
1128 * doc/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
1129 White spaces cleanup.
1131 2003-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1132 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1134 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
1135 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
1136 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
1137 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
1138 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
1139 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
1140 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
1142 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
1143 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
1144 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
1146 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1148 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
1151 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1153 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
1154 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
1155 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
1157 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
1158 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
1159 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
1160 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
1161 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
1162 at_suite_log when a test fails.
1163 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
1164 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
1165 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
1166 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
1168 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
1169 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
1170 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
1173 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
1174 the name of the debugging directory and information about
1177 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>

1211 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1213 * doc/autoconf.texi: Replace AC_HELP_STRING AS_HELP_STRING.

1289 2003-05-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1291 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (lock, truncate): Do not pass @_ to flock
1294 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1296 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
1297 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
1298 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
1299 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
1301 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.
1302 (&parse_args): Use --force with aclocal if required and supported.
1303 (&autoreconf_current_directory): Use &run_aclocal.
1305 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1307 Lock autom4te's cache.
1309 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm ($me, &name, &lock, &truncate, &seek): New.
1310 * bin/autom4te.in (&Request::save, &Request::load): Use an IO::File
1311 argument instead of a file name, so that the request file remains
1312 open during the whole autom4te run.
1313 ($icache_file): New.
1314 (&freeze): Lock the $icache_file.
1316 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1318 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
1319 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
1320 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
1321 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When
1322 grepping $at_help_all for keywords, use the field and keyword
1323 seperators to ensure a complete keyword match. Alter at_prev handling
1324 to support the new --keywords behavior.
1326 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1328 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
1329 align better with others. I also made some of the individual
1330 entries on one line, for brevity and to make it easier for me to
1331 sort my dir-example file in the Texinfo distribution :).

1392 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
1394 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1396 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Suggest
1397 reading the section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" when the
1398 header causes problems.
1400 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1402 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Require aclocal
1403 1.4, otherwise the test fails, as it does support configure.ac.
1404 This fixes the "test 40 failed" bug reports.
1406 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1408 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): `#line' portability.

1419 HELP_TUNING,HELP_OTHER,HELP_END,PREPARE_TESTS,TESTS_END): Define and
1420 use new diversions in preparation for accepting new arguments and
1421 allowing scripting around tests.
1422 (OPTIONS,TAIL): Remove these diversions to make way for the ones above.

1474 about `$<' in inference rules, it was a bogus interpretation of
1475 an old Automake change. Discuss NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and
1476 Tru64 make in the "target lookup" section.
1477 (Automake): Automake 1.5+ no longer requires special tools to be
1478 present on the developer's host.

1529 is not portable inside Makefile.
1531 2003-02-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1533 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): When
1534 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
1535 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
1536 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
1538 2003-02-20 Klee Dienes <kdienes@apple.com>
1540 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Properly

1551 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
1552 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
1553 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
1554 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
1555 gettimeofday and many other functions.
1557 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1561 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
1563 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
1565 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
1566 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
1567 not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by
1569 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
1571 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
1572 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is

1615 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
1616 reported by Tim Van Holder in:

1639 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q

1677 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
1679 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
1680 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
1681 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
1682 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
1683 otherwise available.])
1684 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
1685 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
1686 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
1687 was not compatible with Libtool.

2100 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
2101 if some file was changed instead of `print'.
2102 * bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.
2103 (&parse_args): Remove the dead options.
2104 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Adjust to the new
2105 autoheader's quiet mode.
2106 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Likewise.
2107 * tests/tools.at (autoupdate): Adjust.
2108 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
2110 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2112 No longer use CPP to check for the existing of headers: use CC to
2113 check for compilability.
2115 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL)
2116 (AC_CHECK_HEADER, _AC_CHECK_HEADER_OLD): Remove.
2117 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_NEW): Rename as...
2118 (AC_CHECK_HEADER): this.
2120 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Include the failed test
2121 numbers in the Subject suggestion.
2123 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2125 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST): Obsolete.
2126 Suggest using AC_CHECK_DECLS instead.
2128 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2130 * tests/torture.at (AC_ARG_VAR): Have configure report the value
2133 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2135 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Use $$ in the
2136 file name to enable parallel executions.
2137 From Sam Varshavchik.
2139 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2141 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
2142 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to
2144 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
2145 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
2146 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
2148 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2150 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
2151 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,
2152 but it's how Perl getopt works.
2153 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
2155 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):
2156 --warning -> --warnings.
2157 * lib/autom4te.in: --warning -> --warnings.
2159 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2161 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te.cache): New section.
2163 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2165 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoscan-preselections, Autoreconf-preselections)
2166 (Automake-preselections): Update.
2167 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: Comment changes.
2169 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2173 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
2174 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4, lib/autoconf/types.m4: here.
2176 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2178 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
2179 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
2180 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
2181 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
2183 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2185 * tests/m4sh.at (Functions Support, Functions and return Support):
2188 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2190 * bin/Makefile.am (ETAGS_SH, ETAGS_PERL): Update: ifnames and
2191 autoheader are Perl programs.

2202 (RANLIB, YACC, awk, bison, byacc, flex, gawk, install, lex, ln)
2203 (make, mawk, nawk, ranlib, yacc): Similarly, move to...

2213 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Use AN_FUNCTION for all the functions
2214 that were listed in the original autoscan.list.
2215 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Similarly with headers.
2216 * lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.
2217 (.m4.m4f): Don't pass --prepend-include, since that's done by
2218 tests/autom4te itself.
2219 * lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
2220 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
2221 (autoscan.pre): New file.
2223 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2225 * bin/autoscan.in (@kinds): Make them singular.
2227 (&init_tables): When --debug, report the list of rules to ease
2228 tracking changes in autoscan.list.
2229 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list (function): Strip comments, sort.
2231 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2233 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
2234 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
2235 * lib/autoscan/programs: Merge into...
2236 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list: this.
2237 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
2239 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2241 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
2242 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
2243 * lib/autoscan/programs: Make the `kind' explicit, i.e., each
2244 `functions' line is now prefixed with `function:'.
2245 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
2247 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2249 From now on, autoscan files must always map a macro name to a
2250 word: there is no `default' macro for autoscan.
2252 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
2254 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
2257 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2259 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Remove.
2260 (&used): Keep only track of the words we might be interested in.
2261 (&output_kind): It is no longer needed to look for non active
2264 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2267 jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC, by Paul Eggert, from the Coreutils 4.5.1.
2268 * lib/autoscan/functions: Adjust.
2269 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Adjust.
2271 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2273 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about mv
2275 Thanks to Bill Moseley and Paul Eggert.
2276 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): $2 is the directory into which
2277 the tmpdir must be created.
2278 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Have the tmp
2279 dir be in the build tree, instead of $TMPDIR.
2281 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2283 * bin/autoscan.in: Improve the comments.
2284 (&parse_args): Drop obsolete undocumented options.
2285 (&output_kind): Output warnings.
2286 * lib/autoscan/functions: (dcgettext): Now trigger AM_GNU_GETTEXT.
2287 (getwd): Trigger a warning.
2289 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2291 * bin/autoreconf.in: Clarify that -s is meaningless without -i.
2292 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2293 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Likewise.
2295 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2297 Single suffix rules and seperated dependencies are not portable.
2299 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Update.
2300 (Limitations of Make): Some about `Single Suffix Rules and
2301 Separated Dependencies'.
2302 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
2303 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Un-factor into several rules.
2305 2002-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2307 * BUGS (Interoperability bugs): New section. Mention libtool
2308 1.4.2, configure.ac, and AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interoperability bug.
2310 2002-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2312 Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
2313 make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
2315 * bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
2316 (autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
2317 Move the body of the old .in rule here.
2319 2002-09-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2321 i960 compilers create `b.out' files by default.
2322 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2324 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Remove b.out files.
2325 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Adjust to b.out.
2327 2002-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2329 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Remove obsolete
2330 reference to `struct timezone' in the description of
2333 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2337 * config/config.sub, config/config.guess: Update.
2338 * Makefile.maint: Update from bits of the Coreutils 4.5.1.
2339 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
2341 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2343 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Suggest
2344 reading config.log when the compiler is rejected.
2345 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
2347 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2349 * bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
2350 (chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
2351 Reported by Vance Shipley.
2353 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2355 * bin/autoscan.in (&parse_args): Pass a reference to the lists, not
2358 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2360 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
2361 prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
2362 difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.
2364 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2366 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
2368 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2370 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
2372 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
2373 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
2376 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2378 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
2380 (Defining Directories): New.
2382 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2384 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
2385 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
2387 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
2389 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
2390 plain `@' is wanted.
2392 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2394 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
2395 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
2396 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
2397 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
2398 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2399 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
2402 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2404 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
2405 looking for a replacement file.
2406 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
2407 directory is relative.
2408 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
2409 directory definition.
2410 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
2412 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2414 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
2415 precious variables are.
2416 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
2418 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2420 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
2421 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
2422 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
2423 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
2424 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
2425 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
2427 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2429 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
2430 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
2432 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2434 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
2436 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
2437 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
2439 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2441 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
2442 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
2445 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2447 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
2448 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
2449 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
2451 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2455 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2457 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
2459 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
2461 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
2463 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
2464 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
2465 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
2467 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2469 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
2470 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
2472 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2474 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
2475 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
2476 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
2477 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
2479 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2481 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
2482 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
2483 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
2485 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
2487 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
2488 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
2489 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
2490 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
2491 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
2493 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
2494 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
2495 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
2497 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
2499 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
2500 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
2502 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
2503 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
2504 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
2505 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
2506 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
2507 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
2508 to shorten the output script.
2510 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2512 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
2513 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
2514 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
2515 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
2516 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
2517 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
2518 example, since the old example is now out of date.
2520 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
2521 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
2522 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
2525 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
2526 of rolling our own unset.
2527 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
2528 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
2530 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
2531 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
2532 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
2533 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
2534 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
2535 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
2537 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
2540 * configure: Regenerate with self.
2542 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2544 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Notes on "cc"
2547 2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
2549 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::load): Correctly test for "do" read
2552 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2554 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
2555 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
2556 hand, which is not portable.
2558 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
2559 Use &error instead of die.
2560 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
2563 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2565 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
2566 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
2567 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
2569 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2571 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
2572 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
2573 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
2574 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
2576 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
2578 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
2579 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
2580 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te
2581 --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
2582 use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
2583 * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
2584 arguments from each language section.
2586 2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2588 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
2590 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
2592 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
2593 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
2594 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
2595 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
2597 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
2599 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
2600 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
2603 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2605 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
2606 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.

2887 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
2888 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
2889 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
2890 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
2892 * NEWS: Document this.
2893 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
2895 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.

2909 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
2911 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
2912 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
2913 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
2914 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
2915 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
2916 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
2918 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
2919 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
2920 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
2922 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
2923 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since

2942 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
2943 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
2944 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
2945 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
2947 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
2949 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage

2960 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
2961 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
2962 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
2964 Be sure to protect it.
2965 Reported by Patrick Welche.

2970 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
2972 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2974 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
2975 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
2976 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
2977 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2979 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2991 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
2992 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the

3110 * tests/m4sh.at (AT_DATA_LINENO): Use _AS_PREPARE.
3112 Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
3114 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
3115 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
3116 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
3117 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
3118 Invoke _AS_PREPARE (not AS_PREPARE) in addition to
3121 Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
3123 * tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
3124 * tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
3125 on Autotest and M4sh.
3126 ($(TESTSUITE)): Use $(autotest_m4f_dependencies).
3127 (wrapsh.in): New target.
3128 * bin/autoconf.as: New, precursor of autoconf.in.
3129 (autoconf.in): New target.

3134 with indented comments in rules.

3139 ac_top_builddir when setting ac_abs_top_builddir.
3141 2002-04-06 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3143 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Add link to Unix V7 online docs.
3144 (Portable Shell): Cross reference to Systemology.
3146 2002-04-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3148 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Be sure to accumulate the
3149 directories when descending in a SUBDIRS.
3150 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
3152 2002-04-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3154 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Only simplify if path
3155 contains no literal separators.
3157 2002-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3159 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER)
3160 (_AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_LINK): New.
3161 Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
3163 (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
3164 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
3166 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
3167 results in failures being hidden.
3168 Use m4_defn where appropriate.
3169 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
3170 after the second argument.
3172 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
3173 syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.

3198 AU_DEFUN old name. Use _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
3199 (AC_PROG_CC): Call _AC_PROG_CC_STDC.

3213 2002-03-28 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3215 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Test with a typedef return value,
3216 to avoid versions of HP C which don't allow that.
3218 2002-03-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3220 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.
3221 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Invoke it.
3222 (AS_BASENAME): AS_REQUIRE it, and use $as_basename.

3230 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): The GNATS base moved.
3232 2002-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3234 * tests/m4sh.at: Don't rely on "PATH=test:$PATH test-1" working
3235 as POSIX requires, as it doesn't work with Zsh.
3236 * doc/autoconf.texi (Assignments): Document the problem.
3238 2002-03-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3240 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
3241 about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
3244 2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3246 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
3247 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
3249 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
3250 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
3251 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.
3253 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3276 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
3278 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
3279 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
3280 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
3281 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
3282 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
3283 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
3285 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
3286 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
3287 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
3288 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
3289 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
3291 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3293 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
3294 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
3295 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
3296 says 'times: not found'.
3298 2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3300 * bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
3301 (&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.

3334 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3337 subdirectory should exist.
3339 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3341 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.6.
3343 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3345 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
3346 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
3349 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3351 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
3352 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
3354 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3356 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,

3373 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3375 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS): New.
3376 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INIT): More informative error
3379 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3381 * lib/freeze.mk ($(build_libdir)/m4sugar/version.m4): New, for
3384 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3386 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
3387 and host is irrelevant.
3388 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
3389 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
3390 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
3391 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
3392 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
3393 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
3395 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3397 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
3398 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
3400 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
3401 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
3402 evaluation is the current item.
3403 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
3405 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3407 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
3408 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
3410 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
3411 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
3414 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
3416 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
3417 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
3418 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
3420 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
3421 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
3422 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
3424 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3473 Fix Autoconf PR/207:
3474 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
3476 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
3477 variable when looking for the prefix program.
3478 Now it also works for shell variables.

3488 case/esac, some shells don't support it.
3489 Reported by Zack Weinberg.
3490 * tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS with empty commands): New.

3495 sure not to introduce newlines in at_groups.

3510 cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
3513 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3515 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,
3516 to make sure they are up to date when `check' is run.

3538 optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
3539 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
3541 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
3542 (M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
3543 (Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.

3575 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3577 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
3580 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3582 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
3583 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
3584 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
3585 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
3586 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
3587 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
3588 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
3589 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
3591 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.

3656 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
3657 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
3659 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
3660 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
3661 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
3663 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3666 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
3667 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
3668 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
3670 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
3671 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
3672 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
3673 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
3674 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
3676 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3680 2002-01-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3682 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Improved wording regarding use of
3686 2001-12-18 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3688 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on sscanf
3689 sometimes needing writable input.

3695 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3697 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
3698 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
3699 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
3700 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
3702 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
3704 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.
3706 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3708 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
3710 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>

3713 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
3714 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.
3715 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
3716 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi, lib/autoconf/autotest.m4,
3717 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/autoreconf.in, tests/tools.at,
3718 * tests/wrappl.in, tests/wrapsh.in: Adjust.
3720 2001-12-12 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
3722 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT): Fix failed
3723 C/Fortran linking on HP/UX, by extracting the Fortran library
3724 search path from the LPATH line in the $F77 -v output.
3726 2001-12-12 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3728 * doc/autoconf.texi (File Descriptors): Use a clearer layout for the
3729 forbidden file descriptors table.
3731 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3733 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Build it at top level.
3734 Map to 1 in order to simplify its uses.
3736 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3738 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
3739 Remove $filepath, useless.
3740 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
3741 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
3742 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
3743 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
3744 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
3745 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
3746 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
3748 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3750 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
3751 Remove, replaced by...
3752 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
3753 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
3754 * configure.ac: Adjust.
3755 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
3757 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3759 * bin/autoscan.in (used): New.
3762 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3778 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
3779 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.
3780 (Autotest Logs): New.
3782 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3784 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
3786 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
3787 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
3789 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
3790 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
3791 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
3792 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
3794 2001-11-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
3796 * doc/autoconf.texi, TODO, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
3797 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/headers.m4,
3798 tests/atgeneral.m4, tests/tools.at, tests/atspecific.m4: Fix
3801 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3803 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
3804 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
3806 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3808 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
3809 spotted by Jim Meyering.
3811 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3813 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
3815 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
3816 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
3817 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
3818 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
3819 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
3820 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
3821 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
3822 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
3825 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3827 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
3829 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
3831 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3833 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
3834 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
3836 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3838 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
3839 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
3840 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
3842 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
3843 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
3844 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
3845 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
3846 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
3847 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
3849 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3851 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
3852 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
3854 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
3856 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3858 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
3859 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
3860 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
3861 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
3862 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
3863 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
3865 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3867 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
3869 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
3870 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
3872 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
3874 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3876 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
3879 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3881 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
3882 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
3884 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
3885 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
3886 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
3888 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
3889 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
3891 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3893 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
3894 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
3895 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
3897 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
3898 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
3900 Create the directories.
3901 Use absolute paths for at- files.
3904 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
3906 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
3908 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
3910 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3912 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
3913 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
3915 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3917 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
3918 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
3921 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3923 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
3925 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3927 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
3928 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
3929 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
3930 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
3931 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
3932 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
3934 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3936 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
3939 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3941 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
3942 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
3943 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
3944 `missing' itself contains variables.
3946 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3948 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
3949 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
3952 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3954 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
3955 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
3956 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
3957 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
3958 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3960 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3962 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
3963 processed only if present.
3964 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
3965 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
3966 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
3967 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3969 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3971 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
3972 doesn't accept .S files.
3974 2001-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3976 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_pattern_forbid): Accepts $2.
3977 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INTI): Forbid LIBOBJS.
3978 (_AC_LIBOBJ): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/.
3979 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): New.
3980 (handle_output): Use it.
3981 Read m4_pattern_forbid with messages.
3983 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3985 * bin/autom4te.in (--normalize): Remove.
3986 * lib/autom4te.in: Adjust.
3988 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3990 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Rename this target as...
3991 ($(TESTSUITE)): this.
3994 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3996 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
3997 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
3999 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4001 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Update.
4002 (Writing testsuite.at): Update.
4004 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4006 * doc/autoconf.texi: s/@code/@command/ where appropriate.
4008 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4010 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: (&catfile, &canonfile)
4011 (&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
4013 Use and export them.
4014 (&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
4015 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
4017 Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
4018 (&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
4019 Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
4020 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
4022 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4024 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
4025 (@export_forward_subs): New.
4026 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
4028 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
4029 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
4031 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
4032 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
4034 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4036 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
4037 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
4038 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
4039 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
4041 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4043 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
4045 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4049 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4051 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
4052 * config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
4053 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
4055 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4057 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
4058 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
4060 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
4062 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4064 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
4065 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
4066 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
4067 than character ranges.
4069 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
4070 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
4071 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
4073 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
4075 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4077 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
4078 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
4080 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
4081 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
4082 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
4083 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
4084 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
4085 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
4086 output and chmod failures.
4088 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
4091 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4093 * tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
4096 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4098 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
4099 AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
4100 provided, while it is optional.
4101 * configure.ac: Adjust.
4103 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4105 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
4106 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
4107 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
4110 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
4111 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
4113 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
4114 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
4115 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
4117 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4119 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.
4121 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4123 * m4/: Remove, merged into...
4126 2001-10-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4128 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the problems with bash
4129 2.05's use of ANSI quoting in its `set' builtin.
4131 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4133 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
4134 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
4135 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
4136 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
4137 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
4138 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
4140 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
4141 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
4142 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
4144 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
4146 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4148 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of
4149 the executable was missing from the log.
4151 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4153 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): If destination is
4154 unchanged, remove the source.
4155 (&up_to_date_p): Don't be verbose, be debug.
4156 * bin/autoreconf.in: No longer support --m4dir.
4157 (&autoreconf): Display the full path of the configure.ac we are

4649 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4651 * bin/autoscan.in: Add 'exec-perl-if-not-run-by-perl'.
4652 * bin/autoupdate.in: Ditto.
4653 * bin/autoheader.in: Reworded a few comments.
4654 * bin/autoconf.in: Reworded help text for a few options.

4658 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4660 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (open): Simplified the error message (we
4661 already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
4662 CR issues on DOSish systems).
4664 2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4666 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
4667 From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
4669 2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4671 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
4672 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
4673 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
4674 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
4676 * lib/autoconf/c.m4:
4677 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
4679 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
4680 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
4681 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
4683 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
4684 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
4687 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
4688 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
4689 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
4690 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
4691 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
4693 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4695 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.

4703 2001-09-18 Paul Wagland <paul@wagland.net>
4705 * tests/m4sh.at: Ensure that AS_DIRNAME handles '/', '//' and '///'
4707 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
4708 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
4709 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
4710 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
4711 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
4713 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
4714 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
4716 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4718 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
4719 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
4720 This also solves the name clash problems.
4721 Don't set the package's ID.
4722 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
4723 No longer to be shipped.
4724 (version.in): Remove.
4725 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
4726 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.
4727 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
4728 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
4729 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
4730 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
4731 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
4732 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
4733 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.

4738 AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.
4739 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't abort when a tested
4740 program version string doesn't match the package's.

4744 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4746 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
4747 Allow expression to return any value that can fit into unsigned long
4748 (not int, as before). Check for output errors.
4750 2001-09-17 Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>
4752 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
4753 Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
4754 the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
4755 fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
4756 Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
4758 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4760 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
4761 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
4762 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
4763 when they don't exist.
4765 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
4766 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
4769 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
4770 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
4771 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
4774 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
4776 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4778 * tests/base.at, tests/m4sh.at: Be sure to issue the bangshe line

4812 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Fix stupid bugs.
4814 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4816 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
4817 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple
4818 test suites can cohabit.
4820 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4822 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
4824 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4921 to avoid GCC warnings.
4924 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4926 * bin/autom4te.in: --language is -l, not -s.
4928 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4930 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
4931 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
4933 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
4934 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
4936 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:

4967 New, extracted from main.
4968 Use IO::File wherever possible.
4969 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.

4997 * lib/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add autom4te.cfg.
4999 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5001 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
5002 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
5003 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
5005 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5007 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the

5029 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
5030 Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.

5033 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5035 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Missing eol.
5036 * bin/autoheader.in (%symbol): Strip arguments of macros.

5058 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.

5074 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
5075 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
5077 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5082 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5084 * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
5085 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
5086 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
5087 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
5088 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
5089 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
5090 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.

5092 * tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
5094 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5100 (&parse_args): Adjust.
5101 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
5103 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5110 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
5111 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
5112 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
5113 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
5114 find the executables for it.
5115 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
5116 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
5118 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
5119 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
5120 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
5121 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
5122 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
5123 * tests/autoscan: New.
5124 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
5125 refer to library files: rely on --language.

5132 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5622 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5624 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Perl is now required:

5685 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
5687 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5689 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
5690 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
5691 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
5692 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
5694 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5696 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
5697 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
5698 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
5700 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5702 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
5704 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
5706 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
5708 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
5709 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
5711 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5713 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
5714 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
5716 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5718 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
5720 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5722 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
5724 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
5725 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
5726 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
5727 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
5728 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
5730 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5732 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
5733 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
5734 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
5736 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
5737 Dump information on the first run of each test.
5738 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
5741 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5743 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
5744 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
5745 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
5746 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
5748 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
5749 does not like `' instead of [].
5750 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
5751 And don't output such tokens.
5752 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
5753 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
5754 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
5755 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
5756 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
5757 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
5759 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5761 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
5763 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5765 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
5767 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5769 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
5770 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
5772 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
5773 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
5774 (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
5776 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5778 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
5779 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
5782 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
5783 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
5784 (@Request::source): Rename as...
5785 (@Request::input): this.
5786 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
5787 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
5788 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
5789 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
5790 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
5792 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5794 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
5795 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
5797 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
5798 (Request::id): this.
5799 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
5800 (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
5801 (&handle_output): Adjust.
5802 (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
5803 (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
5804 Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
5806 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5808 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
5809 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
5810 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
5811 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
5813 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5815 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
5816 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
5817 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
5819 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
5820 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
5821 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
5822 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
5823 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
5824 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
5825 (&mtime): New, export it.
5826 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
5827 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
5828 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
5830 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5832 Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
5833 must be proposed to the users.
5835 * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
5837 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
5838 (&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
5839 * bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
5841 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5843 * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
5844 macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
5847 2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5849 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without

5854 * bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
5857 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5864 (@m4_builtin): this.
5865 (%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New.
5866 (&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names.
5867 (&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here.
5868 (&trace_requests): Remove, unused.
5870 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5872 * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit,
5875 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5878 (m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
5880 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
5881 occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
5882 Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
5883 the appear in the output.
5884 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
5885 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
5886 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
5887 autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
5888 Check that `dnl' is caught.

5909 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Remove your
5910 `END', as `Autom4te::General::END' will be triggered.
5911 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Improve error messages accuracy.
5912 * bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of
