13 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 2.59c.
15 2004-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
17 Version 2.59b.
19 * README: Add advice about m4 1.4.2.
21 * Makefile.cfg (wget_files): Remove config.guess, config.sub,
22 texinfo.tex for now (done by hand now).
23 * Makefile.maint (wget_files, cvs_files):
24 Remove ansi2knr.c; nobody uses it.
25 (ansi2knr.c-url_prefix): Remove.
26 (cvs-update): Fix test for failure. I don't know why it ever
27 worked...
29 * doc/autoconf.texi: Update URLs, some of which went stale.
30 Use @uref rather than @href.
32 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Have configure
33 handle "--" as per POSIX. Suggested by Paul Pogonyshev.
35 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp,
36 config/install-sh, config/mkinstalldirs, config/texinfo.tex,
37 doc/fdl.texi, doc/standards.texi: Sync with master copy.

45 lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, tests/local.at, tests/m4sh.at,
46 tests/tools.at, tests/torture.at:
47 Use "file name" rather than "filename" or "path",
48 to be consistent with the terminology of the GNU coding standards.
50 2004-08-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
52 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C),
53 AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Undo 2004-06-04 change, as it didn't work with
54 HP-UX 11.23 cc/aCC or Tru64 4.0 cc. Problem reported by Noah Misch in
55 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-07/msg00004.html>.
57 More fixes to support spaces in the name of the build directory.
58 This isn't a complete fix but it's an improvement.
60 * bin/autoconf.as (autom4te_options): New var.
61 Use it instead of appending to AUTOM4TE, so that we can allow
62 spaces in the build directory's absolute name.
63 * bin/autoheader.in ($autoconf): Allow spaces in file names.
64 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP, _AT_CHECK,
65 AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Likewise.
66 * tests/wrapper.as (testdir, AUTOM4TE_CFG, autom4te_perllibdir,
67 main program): Likewise.
69 2004-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

75 2004-08-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
77 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Document isinf and
78 and isnan. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
80 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Return correct exit status even
81 if unlink succeeds and sets $?. Needed with Solaris 8's perl 5.00503.
83 2004-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
85 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): Use configure.in, not configure.ac,
86 for compatibility with Automake 1.4. Reported by J C Fitzgerald in
87 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-08/msg00051.html>.
89 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
91 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE): New empty macro.
92 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Call it to require config.sub and config.guess.
93 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Likewise for install-sh.
94 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
95 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
96 AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE. Automake 1.10 will trace it.
98 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
100 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
101 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET. Automake 1.9.1 will
102 trace them.
104 2004-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
106 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Set BIN_SH, for
107 Tru64.
108 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention BIN_SH.
109 Document problem with "`""`" in pdksh POSIX mode.
111 2004-07-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
113 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Use "set -o posix"
114 with pdksh, too. Problem reported by Patrick Welche via
115 Gary V. Vaughan.
116 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Note that set -o posix is
117 useful for pkdsh, too.
119 2004-06-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
121 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Require
122 _AS_UNSET_PREPARE, so that we can use $as_unset directly.
123 Don't fail if ENV or BASH_ENV is readonly.
124 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Don't fail if ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, LC_ALL,
125 etc. are read only. Problem reported by Ludovic Courtes.
127 2004-06-23 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
129 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): If the shell is
130 zsh, disable GLOB_SUBST to avoid backslash handling problems.
131 (trivial change)
133 2004-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
135 * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Warn about
136 names like "aux". Problem reported by Eric Blake.
138 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY (C)): Use division
139 by zero instead of array size, so that we can use any arithmetic
140 constant expression (instead of requiring an integer constant
141 expression). This allows us to test expressions like DBL_MAX <
142 LDBL_MAX, which didn't conform to the C standard using the old
143 method.
144 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Put back in the tests for LDBL_MAX and LDBL_EPSILON,
145 now that we can do floating-point tests at compile time.
147 2004-06-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
149 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Don't check LDBL_MAX
150 and LDBL_EPSILON, as the resulting expression isn't an
151 integer constant expression and violates the C standard.
152 Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. Also, check
153 for "L" suffix, and check that long double doesn't have
154 worse range or precision than double, that mixed-mode
155 arithmetic doesn't generate a diagnostic, that double
156 constants fit in long double.
158 2004-06-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
160 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on free(NULL),
161 malloc(0) and realloc(NULL,size).
163 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Spelling error reported by
164 Bob Proulx.
166 2004-05-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
168 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (HAVE_STDBOOL_H): Detect _Bool bug
169 in HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]. Problem reported
170 by Jim Meyering.
172 2004-05-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
174 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Mention that ! COMMAND
175 can be rewritten using if-then-else. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
177 2004-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
179 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Fix typo.
180 Problem reported by Stepan Kasal.
182 2004-05-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
184 * tests/Makefile.am (autoconfdir): Fix to match comment (trivial
185 change). Patch reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
186 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-05/msg00092.html>.
188 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Don't assume that a
189 function F exists if the compiler and linker let you compile an
190 expression like (F != 0). Recent versions of GCC optimize away
191 the reference to F in that case, since every function address must
192 be nonzero, so the link succeeds even if F does not exist.
193 Problem reported by Manu in
194 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00060.html>.
196 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Standardize on the spelling of
197 "Unix". Many uses changed.
198 (Limitations of Builtins): Explain better why the ! command isn't
199 portable.
201 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
203 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
204 LT_SUPPORTED_TAG in lieu of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS.
206 2004-05-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
208 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add strerror_r, cross
209 referencing AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R.
211 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): In AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID,
212 note pessimistic assumption when cross compiling.
214 2004-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
216 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Note that BSD make
217 (until 2004) invoked subcommands with sh -e, contra POSIX.
218 Reported by Kevin Ryde.
220 2004-05-10 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
222 * programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Fixed bug where PATH argument handed to
223 _AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK contained leading whitespace (i.e.
224 " $PATH:/usr/xpg4/bin"). This resulted in bogus tests, such as
225 `test -f " /usr/bin/grep"', which _always_ failed.
226 (AC_PROG_SED): Ditto bogus PATH fix.
227 * autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_GREP): Properly document that this macro
228 requires that grep correctly supports _multiple_ `-e' options, rather
229 than stating only that grep should accept `-e'.
231 2004-05-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
233 Port to C99, which requires that 'exit' be declared.
235 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT
236 to ensure that stdlib.h is included.
237 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP,
238 AC_FUNC_STRTOD, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_FORK, _AC_FUNC_FORK,
239 _AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3): Likewise.
240 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Likewise.
241 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS): Likewise.
242 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Include <stdlib.h>
243 when using 'exit' in a test; C99 requires that 'exit' be declared.
245 2004-05-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
247 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_GREP
248 now prefers 'grep' implementations that accept -e.
249 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Describe problems of traditional
250 egrep and fgrep with long input lines, and of traditional grep
251 with -e.
252 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Check for -e, too.
253 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Assume 3rd arg is properly quoted for the shell.
254 All callers changed. Append /usr/xpg4/bin to the PATH, for
255 Solaris.
256 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Discard stderr, so we don't bother
257 the user with complaints about multiple -e options.
258 * tests/local.at (AC_STATE_SAVE): Use $GREP, not grep.
259 Define it with AC_PROG_GREP.
260 * configure.ac (AC_PROG_GREP): Add.
261 * lib/freeze.mk (GREP): New macro.
263 2004-05-02 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
265 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Consult $SHELL as
266 a possible candidate only after all others fail, rather than
267 consulting it first. This improves backward compatibility by
268 better reflecting the way shell selection occurred in previous
269 versions of Autoconf, and should help to avoid triggering latent
270 problems in other packages, such as the one in Automake where zsh
271 is not handled robustly:
272 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2004-04/msg00095.html
273 Although it is not Autoconf's responsibility to work around
274 problems in Automake, it nevertheless makes sense to avoid
275 introducing unnecessary incompatibilites.
277 2004-04-22 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>,
278 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
280 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't guess
281 how deeply nested we are when a suitable tool is found, set the
282 ac_path_TOOL_found flag.
283 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK): Encapsulate knowledge of how deeply
284 nested we are in this macro. Break out of all 3 nested loops if
285 ac_path_TOOL_found is set.
287 2004-04-21 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
289 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Break out
290 of the _AS_PATH_WALK loop too if GNU flavor is found.
292 2004-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
294 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Update documentation
295 for `$<'. New entry `Long lines', based on a report from Simon
296 Josefsson. Augment the documentation for SHELL = @SHELL@ with a
297 paragraph about DJGPP, based on a mail from Richard Dawe.
299 2004-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
301 * tests/c.at (C keywords): Don't assume that GCC supports
302 "restrict" and "inline", as sufficiently-old GCC versions do not
303 (also, GCC configured to be in pedantic C89 mode does not).
304 Problem reported by Sumit Pandya in:
305 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-04/msg00092.html
307 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_G, _AC_PROG_CXX_G): Don't
308 consider -g to work if it generates warnings when plain compiles
309 don't. Problem reported by Braden McDaniel in:
310 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00014.html
312 * doc/autoconf.texi (Slashes): New section, to document a problem
313 reported by Jim Meyering in:
314 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00060.html
316 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Remove potential
317 linker output files before linking, to work around IRIX 6 linker bug.
318 Problem reported by Rainer Orth in:
319 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-02/msg00007.html
321 2004-04-20 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
323 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Make the
324 best tool so far counter rely on the tool path variable name to
325 avoid checks for one tool being affected by the results of running
326 the length check on a previous tool.
328 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Take an additional
329 match expression argument, as different greps have different
330 regular expression flavours.
331 (AC_PROG_FGREP): Pass 'FGREP'. fgrep treats all match chars as
332 literals.
333 (AC_PROG_EGREP): Pass 'EGREP$'.
334 (AC_PROG_GREP): Pass 'GREP$'.
336 2004-04-20 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>
338 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Cache variable
339 is `ac_cv_path_GREP', not `oc_cv_path_GREP'.
341 2004-03-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
343 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers, Particular Types, Generic
344 Types, Specific Compiler Characteristics, System Services,
345 Obsolete Macros): Use 'long int', 'short int', 'unsigned int'
346 etc. consistently instead of 'long', 'short', 'unsigned' etc.
347 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C), AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
348 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES):
349 Likewise.
350 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT): Likewise.
351 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_TYPE_SIZE_T,
352 AC_TYPE_OFF_T): Likewise.
353 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_TYPES: backward compatibility):
354 Likewise.
356 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Create an empty aclocal.m4, to
357 pacify libtool 1.5.2. Fix quoting problems in sed command.
359 2004-03-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
361 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Structures): AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE
362 now defines HAVE_DECL_TZNAME if it is declared, when
363 HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE is not defined.
364 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Implement this.
365 Do not assume atoi. Rely on HAVE_DECL_TZNAME when testing
366 for HAVE_TZNAME.
368 2004-03-28 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
370 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Corrected
371 superfluous backslashing of quotes (") in sed expressions;
372 thanks to Paul Eggert.
374 2004-03-26 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
376 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): new name of Intel
377 Fortran compiler is ifort, also added pghpf; thanks to Nelson
378 H. F. Beebe for the bug report.
380 2004-03-26 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
382 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): fix for
383 quoted -cmdline argument in Portland Group compiler (bug
384 reported by Jeffrey J. Barteet).
386 2004-03-25 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
388 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Move cross_compiling ovindex to
389 (Run Time): ... here, where it's now mentioned.
391 2004-03-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
393 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te Invocation): Language Autoconf
394 inherits from language Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4.
395 (Customizing autom4te): Adjust example; the cache must now be
396 disabled for language Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4.
398 2004-03-16 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
399 Nathanael Nerode <neroden@twcny.rr.com>
401 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL,
402 AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Warn if a cross-tool is found without
403 a prefix.
404 (AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL,
405 AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS): New macros.
406 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Programs): Document
407 (AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL,
408 AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS, and warn for future changes
409 in the behavior of AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL and
410 AC_CHECK_TOOLS.
411 (Specifying Names): Document the reason for these future
412 behavioral changes.
413 * tests/mktests.sh: Do not generate tests for the
414 new macros.
415 * NEWS: Document these changes.
417 * doc/autoconf.texi: Avoid macros with unbraced arguments,
418 they make TeX hang up.
420 2004-03-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@bogus.example.com>
422 * NEWS: New macro AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF.
423 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document it.
424 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Use long int rather than
425 int; avoid "a `$1'" since this isn't grammatical if $1 begins with a
426 vowel.
427 (AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF): New macro.
428 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Exclude AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF.
429 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF): Add tests similar to
430 those for sizeof.
432 2004-03-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
434 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Don't use $< in a context where
435 POSIX doesn't require support for it. Use $@.in instead.
436 Problem reported by Anthony N. Frasso in
437 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-03/msg00008.html>.
438 * bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Add @configure_input@ comment.
440 2004-02-23 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
442 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Recognize LT_INIT
443 from the next generation of Libtool.
444 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoreconf-preselections): Ditto.
446 2004-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
448 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools) <mkdir>: `mkdir -p'
449 is not always thread-safe. Report from Nathanael Nerode.
451 2004-02-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
453 Fix a dependencies problem, stemming from a Autoconf 2.59 build
454 problem on QNX reported by Stephen Rasku in
455 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-02/msg00066.html>.
457 * bin/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/autoconf.in): Depend on
458 $(m4sh_m4f_dependencies); this removes a FIXME.
459 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/wrapper.in): Likewise.
460 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Split into pieces,
461 one per related section. Add $(srcdir)/wrapper.in.
463 2004-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
465 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Emphasize that
466 AC_SUBST provides no portable way to escape literal newlines.
468 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Ignore all
469 flags of the form -lcrt*.o, not just -lcrt[01].o and -lcrtbegin.o.

495 2004-01-30 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
496 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
497 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
499 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (M4SH-SANITIZE): New diversion.

525 (AU_DEFUN): Honor the third parameter, create autoupdate
526 macros with AU_DEFINE.
527 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H,

546 copyright years.
547 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): Add 1992 thorugh

549 the 2003-05-22 change, which removed the older years from the list.
550 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Update copyright date to 2004.
552 2004-01-27 Gary V. Vaugan <gary@gnu.org>

574 bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in: Likewise.
575 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): Likewise.
577 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, configure, bin/Makefile.in,
578 bin/autoconf.in, config/Makefile.in, config/config.guess,
579 config/config.sub, config/install-sh, config/mdate-sh,

594 2004-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
596 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Include <stdint.h> even if
597 HAVE_INTTYPES_H is defined. This is needed on Tru64 5.1b with
598 Compac C V6.5-207 (dtk), which defines uintmax_t in <stdint.h> but
599 not <inttypes.h>. Problem reported by Tim Mooney in
600 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-01/msg00147.html>.
601 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS):
602 Likewise.
604 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Use diff, not sed;
605 otherwise "make check" fails because it forbids cmp (I guess
606 because cmp treats files as binary on DOS-like systems).
608 * tests/mktests.sh: Update copyright date to 2004, since some tests
609 have changed in 2004.
611 2004-01-23 Gary V. Vaugan <gary@gnu.org>
613 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): New macro to test for a
614 non-truncating sed or gsed program in PATH.

617 * NEWS: Updated.
619 2004-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
621 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Try -std, not -std1, since
622 -std1 disables some useful extensions on Tru64. Problem reported
623 by N. Lichtmaier in
624 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00100.html>.
626 2004-01-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
628 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document that
629 AS_MKDIR_P succeeds if the destination is a symbolic link
630 to an existing directory.
631 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note that mkdir -p might not
632 succeed on symlinks to directories.
634 2004-01-13 Paul Hilfinger <hilfinger@CS.Berkeley.EDU>
636 * lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFUN): Grammar fix in comment.

644 AC_TRY_LINK, s/AC_LANG_SOURCE/AC_LANG_PROGRAM/. (trivial change)
646 2004-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
648 * doc/autoconf.texi (Running the Preprocessor): Correct grammar.
650 2004-01-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
652 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fix bug: AC_CHECK_SIZEOF evokes a warning
653 with `autoconf -Wall,error'. Bug reported by Eric Blake in:
654 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-01/msg00000.html
655 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Invoke _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not
656 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, since we now assume our caller invokes
657 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE, for symmetry with _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
658 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN): Likewise, for _AC_RUN_IFELSE instead
659 of AC_RUN_IFELSE; this avoids the warning mentioned above.
660 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
662 2004-01-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
664 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): Avoid \$ inside
665 `"'...'"`, as it's confusing (and I suspect it may not work on
666 some platforms). The code was incorrect anyway, as it assumed
667 that \$ evaluated to itself in that context. Reported by
668 Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
670 2004-01-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
672 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS

678 example, and add more examples. Reported by Eric Sunshine.
680 2004-01-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
682 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
683 Remove warning against "rm -fr" introduced yesterday; it
684 was a false alarm.
686 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf,
687 autoscan, autoupdate, ifnames): Don't use chmod -w.
688 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Likewise.
689 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Warn against
690 "chmod -w".
692 2004-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
693 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
695 * libc/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Speed up sed scripts

700 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM):
701 Use "rm -f" to remove conftest.sed, not plain "rm".
702 Bug reported by David Relson in
703 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00011.html>.
705 * Makefile.am (autom4te-update):
706 Replace "rm -rf" and "rm -fr" with "rm -f -r", as POSIX requires.
707 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck, do-po-update): Likewise.
708 * doc/autoconf.texi (Guidelines): Likewise.

716 srcdir): Likewise.
717 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
718 Warn against "rm -fr".
720 2004-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
722 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Mention that cc
723 -c -o might not work. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
724 (C Compiler, Generating Sources, Limitations
725 of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
726 Don't put '-o' after non-options, as POSIX doesn't allow this.
727 Mention that cc's name might be gcc or c89 or whatever.
729 2004-01-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
731 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add various further index entries.
733 2003-12-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
735 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory):
736 Fix typo: mkdir without umask arg.
738 2003-12-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
740 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <Automatic rule rewriting>:
741 Documents OSF1/Tru64 make behavior. Replace `VPATH = ../src' by
742 `VPATH = ../pkg/src' in examples to make the OSF1/Tru64 make
743 explanation clearer.
745 2003-12-24 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

753 * configure: Regenerate.
754 * tests/atlocal.in: Store the result here.
755 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX): Extracted from
756 tools.at, looking in atlocal's ac_cv_sh_n_works instead
757 of explicitly testing.
758 (AT_CHECK_PERL_SYNTAX): Moved from tools.at.
759 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Test for the configure script syntax.
760 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the shell scripts): Simplify

775 Extracted from AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
776 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK, AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN): New
777 macros.
778 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Move reinvocation code from
779 _AS_LINENO_WORKS, use it to find out if shell
780 functions work.
781 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Don't find another shell if $LINENO
782 does not work.
783 (AS_INIT): Pass parameter down to AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
784 (AS_REQUIRE_SHELL_FN): Test that AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN
785 was called.
786 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN.
787 * bin/autoconf.in: Regenerate.
788 * tests/wrapper.in: Regenerate.

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

851 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Fix what looks like a

871 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Fix use of AS_SET_CATFILE
872 so that ac_abs_builddir, ac_abs_top_builddir, ac_abs_srcdir,
873 and ac_abs_top_srcdir are absolute paths.

880 2003-11-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

925 than `\n\n', so that `\n\n\n' is valid in warnings.

1024 Problems reported by Eric Sunshine.
1026 2003-10-08 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1028 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Omit quoted
1029 -mGLOB_options_string stuff for Intel ifc, which can cause

1039 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Stub out a macro
1040 that future autopoint/aclocal/automake/autoreconf will be able
1041 to trace to find where to install local m4 macros.

1053 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
1054 cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
1055 since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.

1059 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f
1060 free" flag. Re-order flags tested into rough order of popularity.
1062 2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1064 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): Reverse the order of the
1065 arguments so that it can be used with syntax identical to
1066 AC_PROG_F77, and so that we can more easily decide to
1067 remove/deprecate the DIALECT optional argument in the future if it
1068 proves troublesome.
1069 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Exit 77 upon failure to fix test suite for
1070 non-freeform-supporting compilers. Document freeform flags.
1072 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1074 * configure.ac: Look for emacs, not macs.

1084 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1086 * configure.ac: Quotation and formatting changes.

1135 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): Change "rm -fr ./-p" to the more-conservative
1136 "test -d ./-p && rmdir ./-p". Suggested by Andreas Schwab in:
1137 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-09/msg00039.html
1139 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1141 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
1142 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
1143 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
1144 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
1145 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
1147 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1149 * bin/autoscan.in (Autom4te::FileUtils): Use it for find_file.
1150 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

1154 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Don't overquote the
1155 arguments.

1166 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1168 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
1169 Reported by Henk Krus.
1170 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
1172 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
1173 AT_help_all.
1174 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
1175 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
1176 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
1177 (AT_INIT): here.
1178 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...
1179 (at_times_p): this.
1180 (AT_INIT): When summarizing the test that ran, remove
1181 $at_times_file after use, and check it is present before trying to
1182 use it.
1184 2003-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1186 Version 2.57d.

1190 (ifnames): chmod -w.
1191 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
1192 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
1193 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
1194 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
1195 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
1196 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
1197 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
1198 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a
1199 -w file.

1205 versus test -L issues.
1207 2003-09-23 Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@mvista.com> and
1208 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1210 Trivial change to support GCC's configuration procedure.
1211 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR): New macro.

1213 about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for
1214 any warning.
1215 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Document this.
1217 2003-09-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

1240 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): linux/random.h.
1241 From Peter Hendrickson.
1243 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1245 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Make it harder to be
1246 willing to edit the output files.
1248 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1250 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): Also exercise AC_FC_SRCEXT
1251 and AC_FC_FREEFORM.
1252 * tests/mktests.sh: Skip AC_FC_SRCEXT.
1253 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM): Likewise.
1255 2003-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1269 Improve the accuracy of the wording about obsolescence.
1270 From a suggestion by Ian Lance Taylor in
1271 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-09/msg00044.html>.
1273 2003-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1275 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Try -ffree-form too,
1276 for the benefit of g77 3.2. Fix suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
1278 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1280 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Fix the filtering of
1281 AC_FUNC_WAIT3.
1283 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1285 * bin/autom4te.in: Use &fatal where more appropriate than &error.
1286 (freeze): When exiting, use $exit_code.
1287 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4: Comment changes.
1289 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1291 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Add AC_FC_FUNC.
1293 2003-09-02 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1295 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
1296 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
1297 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
1298 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
1299 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
1300 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
1301 AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.
1303 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX(C), _AC_LANG_PREFIX(C++)):
1304 New macros.
1305 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Invoke _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_FC_HOOKS if defined.

1321 AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING, AC_F77_WRAPPERS, AC_F77_FUNC):
1322 Rewrite in terms of the above.
1323 (_AC_PROG_F77_G, _AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT, _AC_PROG_F77_V): Remove.
1324 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX): New macro.

1330 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make):
1331 Document problems with timestamp resolution that 'make', 'cp -p', and
1332 'touch -r' have.
1334 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1336 * tests/m4sugar.at (cross_warning): Make sure to enable the

1339 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't m4_default the arguments that
1340 are defaulted by AT_CHECK anyway.
1341 Use AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE.
1342 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: There should be no output at all: add a
1343 missing dnl.
1345 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1347 * bin/autoheader.in: Issue the "Using auxiliary..." message only

1427 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1429 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
1430 including when the cache is used.
1432 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
1433 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
1434 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
1435 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
1436 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
1438 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
1439 Use them.
1440 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
1441 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
1442 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
1443 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
1444 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
1445 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
1446 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
1447 failure, hence we can use the cache.
1448 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
1449 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
1450 Remove.
1451 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
1452 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
1453 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
1454 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
1455 the latter reveals calls to the former.
1457 Adjust the tests.
1459 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
1461 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1463 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
1464 Use them.
1466 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1468 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in
1469 forward order.
1470 * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos.
1471 (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests.
1472 (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect.
1473 (cross): New warning category.
1475 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1477 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (&find_configure_ac)
1478 (&require_configure_ac): Accept an optional directory argument.
1479 ($configure_ac): Remove.
1480 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_configure_ac, &canonfile)
1481 (&catfile): Remove.
1482 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
1483 * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust.
1485 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1492 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
1493 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
1494 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
1495 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
1496 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
1497 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
1498 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.
1499 More perldoc.
1500 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to...
1501 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here.
1503 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1505 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm
1506 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: New,

1559 DESCRIPTION rather than FILE and LINE. Shorten result to fit in new,
1560 shorter column three. Add DESCRIPTION to log file content.
1562 2003-08-13 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1564 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Correct typo in final status
1565 output.
1567 2003-08-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1569 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Use new _AT_CHECK API.
1570 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Move core functionality to...
1571 (_AT_CHECK): ...this new macro.
1573 2003-08-07 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>

1584 2003-07-25 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
1586 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Also ignore
1587 -lcrt1.o, for OS X. (trivial change)
1589 2003-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1591 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Wrap the '#define inline ...'
1592 inside '#ifndef __cplusplus'. Problem reported by
1593 Bob Friesenhahn.
1595 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
1597 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
1598 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
1599 (trivial change). See:
1600 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html
1601 (This really should be 'intptr_t', not 'long', but that would
1602 take more work.)
1604 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1606 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Make it read only.
1607 Depend on Makefile since it contains substitutions.
1608 From Paolo Bonzini.

1613 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1615 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): sys/mount.h.
1616 From Gareth McCaughan.
1618 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1620 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
1621 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
1622 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
1623 top_srcdir to find config.log.
1624 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
1625 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
1627 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1629 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being
1630 always run: output config.log on $at_group_log.
1632 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1634 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Don't use quotes in

1651 error from OSF 4.0 Compaq cc in its default almost-ANSI mode, thereby

1654 * doc/autoconf.texi (hdrindex): New macro.

1685 (TEST_SCRIPT): New diversion.
1686 (AT_SETUP): Divert output to TEST_SCRIPT and move some code...
1687 (AT_CLEANUP): ...to here. Undivert TEST_SCRIPT.
1688 (AT_INIT): Support for expected failures.
1690 2003-06-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1692 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoheader.in: White space
1693 changes.

1695 Autoconf nor Automake.
1696 (&contents): New, from Automake.
1697 PODify.
1699 2003-05-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

1708 (handle_exec_errors): New function. Work around $! being
1709 altered by WEXITSTATUS.
1710 (xqx, xsystem): Use handle_exec_errors.
1712 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1714 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.
1715 Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
1716 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
1717 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
1718 63 for version mismatches.
1720 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1722 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
1723 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
1724 the middle of a line).
1725 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
1726 Remove useless spaces in comments.
1728 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1730 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an
1731 exit 63, so that we (or Automake's "missing") can tell the
1732 difference with a plain failure.
1733 * doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): Adjust.
1735 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1737 * Makefile.am, bin/Makefile.am, config/Makefile.am,
1738 * doc/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
1739 White spaces cleanup.
1741 2003-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1742 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1744 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
1745 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
1746 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
1747 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
1748 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
1749 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
1750 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
1751 Keith Bostic in
1752 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
1753 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
1754 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
1756 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1758 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
1759 From Ian Redfern.
1761 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1763 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
1764 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
1765 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
1767 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
1768 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
1769 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
1770 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
1771 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
1772 at_suite_log when a test fails.
1773 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
1774 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
1775 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
1776 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
1777 its original place.
1778 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
1779 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
1780 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
1781 and stderr.
1783 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
1784 the name of the debugging directory and information about
1785 its contents.
1787 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1789 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 [AS_REQUIRE]: actually use the 2nd
1790 parameter

1865 2003-05-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1867 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4: Include signal.h and unistd.h.

1874 user name space clashes.
1875 Reported by Bruno Haible.
1877 2003-05-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1879 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in,

1904 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1906 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
1907 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included

1924 (&freeze): Lock the $icache_file.
1926 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>

1936 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1938 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
1939 align better with others. I also made some of the individual

2104 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Translate colons,
2105 to cope with DOS-style absolute paths, when constructing
2106 ${ac_make}.
2108 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES):
2109 When constructing paths with IFS=:, quote the path. If we're
2110 constructing a DOS-style absolute path, we don't want to split it
2111 on the colon.
2113 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Fix typo
2114 in description.

2128 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): test -n -> test -z,
2129 to fix a mismatch between example and discussion.

2134 format starting with "-".
2136 2003-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2138 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): `foo=bar make -e'
2139 is not portable inside Makefile.
2141 2003-02-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2143 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): When
2144 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
2145 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
2146 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
2148 2003-02-20 Klee Dienes <kdienes@apple.com>

2161 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
2162 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
2163 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
2164 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
2165 gettimeofday and many other functions.
2167 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2169 Version 2.57.
2171 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
2173 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
2175 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
2176 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
2177 not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by
2178 Martin Frydl in
2179 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
2181 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
2182 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
2183 defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
2184 bug reported by Momchil Velkov in
2185 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014490.html>.
2187 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty
2188 arg, AC_DEFINE -> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED) in documentation for

2203 2002-11-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2216 Version 2.55.
2218 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/install-sh:
2219 Update from masters.
2221 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2223 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
2224 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
2225 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
2226 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
2227 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
2228 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for
2229 N_ and _.
2230 From Paul Eggert.
2232 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2234 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Compiling several files at once.
2235 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
2237 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2240 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
2242 2002-11-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2244 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Initialize f=$1 rather
2245 than assigning in main, to avoid HP cc +O3 optimizing it away.
2247 2002-11-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2249 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q
2250 option. Process --recheck after parsing all options. Pass -q
2251 option to configure on --recheck.
2252 (AC_OUTPUT): Pass -q from configure to config.status.
2253 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Strip -q from
2254 arguments to record.
2255 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Document
2256 config.status -q option.
2258 2002-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

2261 Makefile.in if Makefile.am exists.
2262 (output): Strip `.am' from Makefiles. Don't
2263 output AC_CONFIG_FILES if no Makefiles were found.
2265 2002-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2272 2002-11-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2274 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY): Wrap the `f'
2275 declaration in extern "C" too.

2280 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Don't use grep
2281 -w.
2282 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Grep -w.
2283 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
2285 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2287 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
2288 Remove.
2289 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
2290 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
2291 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
2292 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
2293 otherwise available.])
2294 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
2295 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
2296 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
2297 was not compatible with Libtool.
2299 2002-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2301 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set the following variables,

2314 2002-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2316 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf_current_directory): New, extracted
2317 from...
2318 (&autoreconf): here.
2319 ($help, $make, &parse_args, &autoreconf_current_directory):
2320 Support -m/--make.
2321 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.

2337 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Make sure the `state-ls.before file exists.
2339 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2341 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use and display
2342 `$(MAKE)' instead of '${MAKE}' to emphasize that we refer to the
2343 Make variable, not a shell variable.
2344 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
2346 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2348 * bin/autom4te.in (load_configuration): Reject #args out of any
2349 language.
2351 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2353 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_MSG_LOG_CONFTEST): New.
2354 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE)
2355 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Use it.
2356 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT):
2357 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Likewise.

2359 inline it.

2365 Suggested by Tim van Holder.
2367 2002-10-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2369 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_MALLOC and
2370 AC_FUNC_REALLOC check for compatibility with glibc, not POSIX.
2371 Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
2373 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2375 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Put also in words what the
2376 pictures says to assist free style readers.
2377 (Customizing autom4te): s/--cache=/--cache /.
2379 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2381 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_VFORK): Include stdlib.h and
2382 sys/wait.h.
2383 sparc_address_test returns void.
2384 Use it with an argument, as prototyped.
2385 From Bruno Haible.
2387 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2389 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Cygnus dirs have

2395 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): New test.

2402 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): Rename as...

2629 2002-10-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2635 * bin/autoheader.in: Invoke autoconf to get '' strings, not ""
2636 strings.
2638 2002-10-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2640 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_QUOTE): The warning about quoted

2687 longer required can still cause errors.
2688 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
2690 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'
2691 to frozen files in @ARGV, as @ARGV must remain being a list of

2693 (&files_to_options): New function.
2694 (&freeze): Use &error.
2695 (&up_to_date): If a file that was included according to the cache
2696 is no longer there, then the output is out dated.
2697 (&main): Don't even check whether a file is up to date is anyway
2698 --force is given.
2699 * tests/tools.at (autom4te cache): New.
2701 2002-10-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2706 Factor some code.
2707 (&autoreconf): Report the directories we enter *and leave*, so
2708 that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
2709 format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
2710 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
2711 if some file was changed instead of `print'.
2712 * bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.

2746 file name to enable parallel executions.
2747 From Sam Varshavchik.
2749 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2751 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
2752 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to
2753 aclocal.
2754 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
2755 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
2756 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
2758 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2760 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
2761 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,
2762 but it's how Perl getopt works.
2763 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
2764 "permute", too.
2765 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):

2788 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
2789 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
2790 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
2791 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
2793 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2809 (tm_zone): Move their rules to...
2810 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: here, using AN_ macros.
2811 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre (AWK, BISON, INSTALL, LEX, LN, MAKE)
2812 (RANLIB, YACC, awk, bison, byacc, flex, gawk, install, lex, ln)
2813 (make, mawk, nawk, ranlib, yacc): Similarly, move to...
2814 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: here.

2828 tests/autom4te itself.
2829 * lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
2830 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
2831 (autoscan.pre): New file.

2835 * bin/autoscan.in (@kinds): Make them singular.
2836 Adjust all uses.
2837 (&init_tables): When --debug, report the list of rules to ease
2838 tracking changes in autoscan.list.
2839 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list (function): Strip comments, sort.
2841 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2854 `functions' line is now prefixed with `function:'.
2855 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
2857 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2859 From now on, autoscan files must always map a macro name to a
2860 word: there is no `default' macro for autoscan.
2862 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
2863 all.
2864 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
2865 explicit.
2867 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2869 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Remove.
2870 (&used): Keep only track of the words we might be interested in.

2893 * bin/autoscan.in: Improve the comments.
2894 (&parse_args): Drop obsolete undocumented options.
2895 (&output_kind): Output warnings.
2896 * lib/autoscan/functions: (dcgettext): Now trigger AM_GNU_GETTEXT.

2902 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2903 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Likewise.
2905 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2907 Single suffix rules and seperated dependencies are not portable.
2909 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Update.
2910 (Limitations of Make): Some about `Single Suffix Rules and
2911 Separated Dependencies'.
2912 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
2913 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Un-factor into several rules.
2915 2002-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2917 * BUGS (Interoperability bugs): New section. Mention libtool
2918 1.4.2, configure.ac, and AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interoperability bug.
2920 2002-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2922 Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
2923 make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
2925 * bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
2926 (autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
2927 Move the body of the old .in rule here.
2929 2002-09-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2931 i960 compilers create `b.out' files by default.
2932 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2934 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Remove b.out files.
2935 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Adjust to b.out.
2937 2002-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2939 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Remove obsolete
2940 reference to `struct timezone' in the description of
2941 AC_HEADER_TIME.
2943 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2945 Version 2.54.
2947 * config/config.sub, config/config.guess: Update.
2948 * Makefile.maint: Update from bits of the Coreutils 4.5.1.
2949 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
2951 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2953 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Suggest
2954 reading config.log when the compiler is rejected.
2955 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
2957 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2959 * bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
2960 (chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
2961 Reported by Vance Shipley.
2963 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2965 * bin/autoscan.in (&parse_args): Pass a reference to the lists, not
2966 the lists.
2968 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2970 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
2971 prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
2972 difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.
2974 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2976 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
2978 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2980 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
2981 grammatical typos.
2982 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
2983 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
2984 is obsolescent.
2986 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2988 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
2989 (FAQ): this.
2990 (Defining Directories): New.
2992 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2994 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
2995 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
2997 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
2999 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
3000 plain `@' is wanted.
3002 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3004 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
3005 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
3006 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
3007 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
3008 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3009 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
3010 cases.
3012 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3014 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
3015 looking for a replacement file.
3016 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
3017 directory is relative.
3018 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
3019 directory definition.
3020 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
3022 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3024 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
3025 precious variables are.
3026 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
3028 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3030 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
3031 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
3032 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
3033 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
3034 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
3035 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
3037 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3039 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
3040 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
3042 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3044 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
3045 Automake 1.6c.
3046 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
3047 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
3049 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3051 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
3052 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
3053 Brinkmann.
3055 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3057 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
3058 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
3059 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
3061 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3063 Version 2.53c.
3065 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3067 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
3068 SITE_MACRO_DIR.
3069 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
3071 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3073 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
3074 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
3075 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
3077 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3079 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
3080 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
3082 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3084 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
3085 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
3086 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
3087 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
3089 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3091 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
3092 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
3093 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
3095 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
3097 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
3098 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
3099 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
3100 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
3101 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
3103 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
3104 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
3105 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
3107 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
3109 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
3110 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
3112 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
3113 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
3114 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
3115 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
3116 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
3117 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
3118 to shorten the output script.
3120 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3122 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
3123 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
3124 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
3125 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
3126 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
3127 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
3128 example, since the old example is now out of date.
3130 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
3131 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
3132 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
3133 spaghetti.
3135 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
3136 of rolling our own unset.
3137 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
3138 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
3140 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
3141 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
3142 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
3143 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
3144 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
3145 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
3147 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
3148 Update.
3150 * configure: Regenerate with self.
3152 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3154 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Notes on "cc"
3155 default output.
3157 2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
3159 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::load): Correctly test for "do" read
3160 failure.
3162 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3164 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
3165 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
3166 hand, which is not portable.
3167 (&error): New.
3168 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
3169 Use &error instead of die.
3170 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
3171 Adjust.
3173 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3175 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
3176 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
3177 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
3179 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3181 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
3182 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
3183 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
3184 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
3186 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
3188 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
3189 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
3190 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te
3191 --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
3192 use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
3193 * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
3194 arguments from each language section.
3196 2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3198 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
3200 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
3201 Replace with:
3202 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
3203 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
3204 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
3205 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
3207 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3209 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
3210 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
3211 `make -k'.
3213 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3215 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
3216 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.
3218 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3220 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE):
3221 Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002
3222 apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".".
3223 Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl.
3225 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3227 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the special
3228 handling of the obj/ directory by BSD make.
3230 2002-07-20 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3232 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Add HP-UX IA-64 trailing
3233 backslashes.
3235 2002-07-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3244 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3246 Version 2.53b.
3248 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3250 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Update.
3252 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3254 Handle LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS once for all, including Libtool's and
3255 Automake's parts.
3257 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): New.
3258 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE): Call it.
3259 * tests/semantics.at (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Adjust.
3261 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>,
3262 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3264 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Install

3270 description of the tarname default.
3272 2002-07-17 Andreas Buening <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>
3274 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FORK): Don't set
3275 ac_cv_func_fork_works before running _AC_FUNC_FORK, do it if the
3276 latter was not run.
3278 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3280 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (find_file): Browse the directories in
3281 the order they are given.

3286 * tests/wrapper.as: this.
3287 * tests/Makefile.am, configure.ac: Adjust.

3301 macro directory, remove note that include path directories are
3302 used in reverse order, and document --prepend-include option.
3303 * lib/autom4te.in: Use --prepend-include instead of --include.
3304 * tests/wrapsh.in: Use --prepend-include instead of --include.
3306 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3312 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3314 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_REALLOC, _AC_FUNC_REALLOC)
3315 (_AC_FUNC_MALLOC): New.

3342 2002-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3344 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
3345 bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
3346 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Add local variables
3347 so that Emacs setups GNU style for perl-mode and cperl-mode.
3349 2002-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3351 * config/install-sh: Quote $src. Prefer || to test's -o option,
3352 as per "Limitations of Builtins".
3353 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Likewise, for && vs test -a.
3354 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
3356 * tests/mktests.sh: Use grep instead of fgrep, as per
3357 "Limitations of Builtins".
3359 2002-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3361 * tests/wrapsh.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOM4TE, AUTOM4TE_CFG,
3362 autom4te_perllibdir): Set to top build dir or src dir as appropriate,
3363 so that we consistently test the just-built programs.
3364 * tests/wrappl.as: Likewise.
3366 2002-06-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3368 * bin/autoconf.as (AUTOM4TE): Default to a fully qualified path
3369 name, so that symlinks to 'autoconf' work properly. Bug reported
3370 by Bruno Haible.
3371 * bin/autoheader.in (AUTOM4TE): Likewise.
3372 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoconf, autoheader): Likewise.
3373 * bin/autoscan.in (autom4te): Likewise.
3374 * bin/autoupdate.in (autom4te): Likewise.
3376 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): Also check for
3377 btowc, to fix a portability bug with diffutils-2.8.2/lib/fnmatch.c
3378 on Solaris 2.5.1.
3380 2002-06-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3382 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add more dir entries.
3384 2002-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3386 * bin/autom4te.in ($cache): Don't define using `$me', the name
3387 of the cache should not depend on the name under which autom4te

3406 * tests/mktests.sh (exclude_list): Exclude AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH,
3407 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU.
3409 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3411 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Point to Tru64 docs, and the
3412 Rosetta Stone for Unix.
3414 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3416 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): When rejecting a token,
3417 suggest m4_pattern_allow.
3418 Suggested by Adam J. Richter.
3420 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3422 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Initialize
3423 ac_config_libobj_dir.
3424 (AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR): New.
3425 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Split into...
3426 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_IF, _AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): these.
3427 Use ac_config_libobj_dir to find the replacement files.
3428 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): Split into...
3429 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH)

3436 2002-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3438 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Fall back on cp
3439 if ln doesn't work.
3440 * NEWS: Likewise.
3441 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Links): Likewise.

3483 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove cf77 and cft77
3484 from the default list of compilers to try. Suggested by
3485 Kate Hedstrom.
3486 * NEWS: Document the above.
3487 * doc/autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler): Don't suggest cf77.
3489 2002-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3491 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Work correctly even if
3492 the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff.
3493 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
3495 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3497 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
3498 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
3499 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
3500 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
3502 * NEWS: Document this.
3503 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
3505 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
3506 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
3507 not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
3508 reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior.
3509 Add new optional argument DIR.
3510 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro.
3512 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro.
3514 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3516 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
3517 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
3518 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
3519 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
3521 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
3522 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
3523 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
3524 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
3525 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
3526 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
3528 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
3529 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
3530 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
3531 textutils.
3532 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
3533 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
3534 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by
3535 Paul D. Smith.
3537 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3539 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
3540 autopoint instead of gettextize.
3541 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
3542 ($uses_aclocal): this.
3543 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
3544 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
3546 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3548 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_map_sep): New.
3550 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3552 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
3553 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
3554 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
3555 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
3557 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
3559 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
3560 under node "Limitations of Builtins".
3562 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3565 running configure.
3566 From Christian Cornelssen.
3568 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3570 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
3571 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
3572 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
3573 course.
3574 Be sure to protect it.
3575 Reported by Patrick Welche.
3577 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3579 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
3580 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
3582 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3584 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
3585 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
3586 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
3587 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
3589 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3591 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.
3592 Thanks to Paul Eggert.

3596 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
3597 and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
3598 AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
3599 DEFAULT diversion.
3600 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
3601 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
3602 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the
3603 _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in
3604 _AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS.
3605 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
3607 2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3609 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after autoconf and
3610 autoheader, so that automake does not complain about a missing
3611 config.h.in that was to be created.
3613 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3615 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.

3665 Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
3667 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
3668 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
3669 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
3670 all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate
3671 the manual now.
3673 Fix some bugs when using "$@" when there might be zero positional

3727 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):

3874 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3876 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust @code/@command, @xref/@ref usage.
3877 From Nishio Futoshi.
3879 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3881 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_define_default, m4_fst, m4_map): New.
3883 2002-03-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3885 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Add AS_MKDIR_P.
3886 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
3888 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
3889 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
3890 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
3891 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
3892 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
3893 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
3895 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
3896 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
3897 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
3898 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
3899 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
3901 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3903 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
3904 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
3905 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
3906 says 'times: not found'.
3908 2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3910 * bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
3911 (&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.
3912 Rerun aclocal if needed.
3913 Suggested by Andreas Schwab.
3915 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3917 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): More about IFS.
3919 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3921 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): New.
3922 Add information about stdint.h and inttypes.h from Paul Eggert.
3924 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3926 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about `cp
3927 -p'.
3928 From Bob Proulx.
3930 2002-03-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3932 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): AS_REQUIRE, not
3933 m4_require.
3935 2002-03-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3937 * configure.ac: Explicitly check for EMACS since AM_PATH_LISPDIR
3938 does not do it if --with-lispdir is given.
3940 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3942 Version 2.53.
3944 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3946 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Clarify that the
3947 subdirectory should exist.
3949 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3951 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.6.
3953 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3955 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
3956 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
3957 affect the latter.
3959 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3961 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
3962 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
3964 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3966 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,
3967 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
3968 * bin/ifnames.in: Copyright update.

3974 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3976 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Clarification suggested by
3977 Kevin Ryde.
3979 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3981 Version 2.52i.
3983 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3985 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS): New.
3986 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INIT): More informative error
3987 message for LIBOBJ.
3989 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3991 * lib/freeze.mk ($(build_libdir)/m4sugar/version.m4): New, for
3992 parallel builds.
3994 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3996 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
3997 and host is irrelevant.
3998 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
3999 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
4000 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
4001 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
4002 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
4003 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
4005 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4007 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
4008 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
4009 useless.
4010 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
4011 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
4012 evaluation is the current item.
4013 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
4015 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4017 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
4018 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
4020 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
4021 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
4022 the last...
4023 (m4_lquote): New.
4024 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
4025 efficient.
4026 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
4027 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
4028 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
4029 (m4_cdr): New.
4030 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
4031 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
4032 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
4034 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4036 * doc/autoconf.texi (Changequote is Evil): New.
4038 2002-03-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

4041 on old systems like SunOS.

4045 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,

4060 2002-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4062 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): Fix the test.
4063 From Akinori Musha.
4065 2002-02-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4067 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (getline, getlines): New functions,
4068 translate \r\n to \n.
4070 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4072 Version 2.52h.
4074 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4076 Fix Autoconf PR/209.
4077 Also reported by Frank Denis.
4079 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Don't over quote.
4081 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4083 Fix Autoconf PR/207:
4084 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
4086 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
4087 variable when looking for the prefix program.
4088 Now it also works for shell variables.
4090 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4092 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): More about
4093 case/esac.
4095 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4097 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Don't output empty
4098 case/esac, some shells don't support it.
4099 Reported by Zack Weinberg.
4100 * tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS with empty commands): New.
4102 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4104 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): When handling --keywords, be
4105 sure not to introduce newlines in at_groups.
4106 * lib/autotest/Makefile.am (autotest.m4f): Typo.
4108 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4110 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Skip if aclocal
4111 is not available.
4113 2002-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4115 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specific Compiler Characteristics):
4116 Describe HP-UX cc bug workaround more accurately.
4117 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast to long,
4118 not unsigned long.
4119 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Check non-GCC
4120 cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
4121 to this file.
4123 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4125 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,
4126 to make sure they are up to date when `check' is run.
4128 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4130 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Document
4131 package.m4.
4133 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4135 * lib/freeze.mk: New.
4137 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4139 Implement `autom4te --freeze'.
4141 * bin/autom4te.in (&freeze): New.
4142 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4, lib/autotest/general.m4,
4143 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Don't include files given by autom4te.
4145 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4147 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Implement `frozen files are
4148 optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
4149 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
4150 (handle_m4): don't.
4151 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
4152 (M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
4153 (Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.
4155 2002-01-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4157 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Accept $4.
4158 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Adjust.
4160 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4162 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Map non
4163 alphanumeric to `-' instead of `_'.
4165 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4167 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Split into two tests: one
4168 for plain code, the other for cross-compilation code. The latter
4169 is now run with GCC only.
4170 * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors): New.
4172 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4174 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Support pre-defined
4175 values.
4176 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Explain how to
4177 change AC_INIT default values.
4179 2002-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4181 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use configure.in,
4182 so that aclocal 1.4 works.
4183 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz and Larry Schmitt.
4185 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4187 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
4188 needs an argument.
4190 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4192 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
4193 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
4194 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
4195 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
4196 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
4197 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
4198 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
4199 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
4200 useless.
4201 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.
4203 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4205 Version 2.52g.

4210 * doc/autoconf.texi: Finally add Akim as an author.
4212 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4214 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.
4215 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Don't expect $SHELL to be
4216 Bourne. Use /bin/sh.
4217 From Andreas Buening.
4219 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4221 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:

4231 Automake.
4233 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4235 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS)
4236 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Support -n as --no-create, as documented.
4237 Reported by Geir Ove Myhr.
4239 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4241 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): #Undef malloc.
4243 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4245 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Use a more GNUish error
4246 message on invalid options.
4247 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't use
4248 Autoconf::General::getopt with non valid options.
4250 2002-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
4252 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Initialize
4253 $ac_cv_exeext so we don't use an old, invalid, cached value.
4255 2002-01-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4257 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRNLEN): New, from Jim
4258 Meyering.

4260 limitation.

4266 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
4267 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
4268 configure.
4269 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
4270 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
4271 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
4273 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4275 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the AC_SUBST
4276 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
4277 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
4278 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
4279 arguments.
4280 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
4281 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
4282 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
4283 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
4284 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
4286 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4288 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Use `&used'.
4290 2002-01-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4292 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Improved wording regarding use of
4293 AC_OUTPUT.

4298 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on sscanf
4299 sometimes needing writable input.
4301 2001-12-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
4303 * doc/autoconf.texi (New Macros): Tweak wording.
4305 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4307 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
4308 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
4309 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
4310 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
4312 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
4314 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.
4316 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4318 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
4320 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4322 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename buildpath to
4323 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
4324 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.

4344 Map to 1 in order to simplify its uses.
4346 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4348 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
4349 Remove $filepath, useless.
4350 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
4351 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
4352 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
4353 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
4354 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
4355 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
4356 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
4358 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4360 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
4361 Remove, replaced by...
4362 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
4363 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
4364 * configure.ac: Adjust.
4365 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
4367 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4369 * bin/autoscan.in (used): New.
4370 Use it.

4380 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4382 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_c_file): Fix the handling of C comments.
4383 Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
4384 comment made the whole line be ignored.
4386 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4388 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
4389 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.
4390 (Autotest Logs): New.
4392 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4394 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
4396 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
4397 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
4398 at_top_builddir.
4399 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
4400 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
4401 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
4402 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
4404 2001-11-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
4406 * doc/autoconf.texi, TODO, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
4407 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/headers.m4,
4408 tests/atgeneral.m4, tests/tools.at, tests/atspecific.m4: Fix
4409 spelling errors.
4411 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4413 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
4414 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
4416 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4418 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
4419 spotted by Jim Meyering.
4421 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4423 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
4425 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
4426 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
4427 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
4428 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
4429 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
4430 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
4431 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
4432 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
4433 * NEWS: Likewise.
4435 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4437 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
4438 hand.
4439 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
4441 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4443 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
4444 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
4446 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4448 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
4449 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
4450 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
4451 option.
4452 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
4453 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
4454 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
4455 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
4456 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
4457 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
4459 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4461 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
4462 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
4463 configure.ac.
4464 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
4466 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4468 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
4469 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
4470 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
4471 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
4472 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
4473 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
4475 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4477 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
4478 in PATH.
4479 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
4480 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
4481 suite.
4482 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
4484 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4486 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
4487 in place.
4489 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4491 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
4492 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
4494 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
4495 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
4496 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
4497 (AT_INIT): Adjust.
4498 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
4499 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
4501 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4503 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
4504 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
4505 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
4507 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
4508 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
4509 are new variables.
4510 Create the directories.
4511 Use absolute paths for at- files.
4512 (AT_CHECK): Adjust.
4514 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
4516 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
4517 (m4_car2): New.
4518 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
4520 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4522 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
4523 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
4525 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4527 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
4528 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
4529 __PROTOTYPES too.
4531 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4533 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
4535 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4537 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
4538 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
4539 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
4540 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
4541 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
4542 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
4544 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4546 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
4547 From Jim Meyering.
4549 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4551 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
4552 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
4553 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
4554 `missing' itself contains variables.
4556 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4558 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
4559 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
4560 the test suites.
4562 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4564 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
4565 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
4566 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
4567 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
4568 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
4570 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4572 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
4573 processed only if present.
4574 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
4575 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
4576 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
4577 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
4579 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4581 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
4582 doesn't accept .S files.
4584 2001-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4586 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_pattern_forbid): Accepts $2.
4587 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INTI): Forbid LIBOBJS.
4588 (_AC_LIBOBJ): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/.
4589 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): New.
4590 (handle_output): Use it.
4591 Read m4_pattern_forbid with messages.
4593 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4595 * bin/autom4te.in (--normalize): Remove.
4596 * lib/autom4te.in: Adjust.
4598 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4600 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Rename this target as...
4601 ($(TESTSUITE)): this.
4602 From Nicolas Joly.
4604 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4606 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
4607 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
4609 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4611 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Update.
4612 (Writing testsuite.at): Update.
4614 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4616 * doc/autoconf.texi: s/@code/@command/ where appropriate.
4618 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4620 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: (&catfile, &canonfile)
4621 (&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
4622 File::Spec.
4623 Use and export them.
4624 (&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
4625 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
4626 the arguments.
4627 Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
4628 (&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
4629 Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
4630 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
4632 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4634 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
4635 (@export_forward_subs): New.
4636 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
4637 (@EXPORT): Adjust.
4638 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
4639 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
4640 used.
4641 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
4642 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
4644 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4646 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
4647 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
4648 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
4649 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
4651 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4653 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
4655 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4657 Version 2.52f.
4659 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4661 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
4662 * config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
4663 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
4665 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4667 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
4668 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
4669 From Ezra Peisach.
4670 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
4672 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4674 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
4675 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
4676 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
4677 than character ranges.
4679 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
4680 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
4681 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
4682 behavior.
4683 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
4685 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4687 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
4688 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
4690 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
4691 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
4692 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
4693 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
4694 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
4695 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
4696 output and chmod failures.
4698 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
4699 the above.
4701 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4703 * tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
4704 handles it now.
4706 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4708 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
4709 AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
4710 provided, while it is optional.
4711 * configure.ac: Adjust.
4713 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4715 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
4716 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
4717 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
4718 with 5.005_02.
4720 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
4721 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
4723 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
4724 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
4725 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
4727 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4729 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.
4731 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4733 * m4/: Remove, merged into...
4734 * config/: here.
4736 2001-10-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
4738 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the problems with bash
4739 2.05's use of ANSI quoting in its `set' builtin.
4741 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4743 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
4744 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
4745 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
4746 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
4747 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
4748 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
4750 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
4751 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
4752 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
4754 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
4756 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4758 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of
4759 the executable was missing from the log.
4761 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4763 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): If destination is
4764 unchanged, remove the source.
4765 (&up_to_date_p): Don't be verbose, be debug.
4766 * bin/autoreconf.in: No longer support --m4dir.
4767 (&autoreconf): Display the full path of the configure.ac we are
4768 studying.
4769 Trace it only once.
4770 Be sure to honor --force with gettextize.
4771 Always run aclocal.
4772 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
4774 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4776 * bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
4777 Remove, dead.
4778 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
4779 `intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
4780 (&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
4781 options.
4782 ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
4783 (@include): New.
4784 (&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
4786 2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <petersen@redhat.com>
4788 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.
4789 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Likewise.
4791 2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4793 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Name the generated
4794 file in @configure_input@.
4795 Don't mention `automatically' in addition to `generated'.
4796 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Adjust.
4798 2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4800 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: In a
4801 comment, explain how to install automatic mode selection.
4802 From Russ Allbery.
4804 2001-10-19 Ezra Peisach <epeisach@zif.mit.edu>
4806 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Display the path to the
4807 configure.ac being studied.
4809 2001-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4811 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast sizeof to unsigned
4812 long, to work around a bug in the HP C compiler version HP92453-01
4813 B.11.11.23709.GP.
4815 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works.
4816 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.
4817 (AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics.
4818 (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
4819 and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
4820 AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
4821 (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
4822 contains white space.
4823 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
4824 Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
4825 * tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
4826 Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows
4827 either behavior.
4829 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4831 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Recognize
4832 `a_out.exe' for OpenVMS 7.1, DEC C 5.5 compiler, via GNV.
4833 From Eric Sharkey.
4835 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4837 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): m4_defun, not
4838 m4_define, since...
4839 (_AS_ECHO_N): AS_REQUIREs it.
4841 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4843 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS)
4844 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): Move to...
4845 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4: here.
4846 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: Comment changes.
4847 * doc/autoconf.texi: Specify where the default includes are used
4848 in the macro prototypes.
4850 2001-10-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4852 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4 (m4_patsubst, m4_regexp): New
4853 transition code.
4855 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4858 (&parse_args): Pass verbosity/debugging options to subtools when
4859 --debug, not when --verbose.
4860 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoreconf-preselections): New.
4861 (Autoconf): Use it.
4863 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4865 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run libtoolize when appropriate.

4967 empty, and if we can find a shell that does support LINENO,
4968 then set CONFIG_SHELL to that shell and then re-execute

4973 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Don't invoke $(TESTSUITE) if it

5016 compatibility with POSIX shells.

5045 Don't use nested parenthesization. This patch was originally

5055 Check for `expr' arithmetic overflow, and for compilation failure,
5056 and invoke a new argument $4 if either is discovered.

5058 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Pass IF-FAILS arg to _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE.

5090 (AC_PROG_CPP without warnings, AC_PROG_CPP via CC)
5091 (AC_PROG_CPP requires AC_PROG_CC): here and...
5092 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.
5093 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
5094 AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.
5095 (Test Programs): AC_TRY_RUN works as used to be advertised.
5097 2001-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5099 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix bugs spotted by
5100 Raja R Harinath:
5101 Be sure to detect when $LINENO always returns the same value.
5102 Look for the original script, basename($0) is certainly not
5103 enough.
5104 Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.
5106 2001-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5108 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Dump the whole config.log.

5116 of --language now.
5118 2001-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5120 * doc/autoconf.texi (Top): Wrap in @ifnottex.
5122 2001-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5124 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Compute and provide
5125 ac_buildpath, ac_top_buildpath, ac_srcpath, and ac_top_srcpath.

5137 Don't compute at_srcdir nor at_top_srcdir.
5139 * tests/tools.at: Hence use top_srcdir.
5141 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader,
5142 * tests/autom4te, tests/autoreconf, tests/autoupdate, tests/ifnames:

5185 2001-09-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5187 * m4/auxdir.m4, m4/cond.m4, m4/depend.m4, m4/init.m4,

5201 2001-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5206 `$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
5207 (_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke

5209 (via m4_require). Cosmetic only.
5210 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
5211 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Replace all the occurrences of
5212 `__oline__' with `$LINENO'.

5220 it works.
5222 2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5224 * Makefile.maint (AUTOM4TE): Neutralize autom4te.
5225 Suggested by Jim Meyering.

5242 PATH_SEPARATOR.
5243 (Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.

5249 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

5252 arguments. Fixed a typo.
5254 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5256 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not ':' to set up

5268 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5270 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (open): Simplified the error message (we
5271 already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
5272 CR issues on DOSish systems).
5274 2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5276 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
5277 From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
5279 2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5281 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
5282 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
5283 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
5284 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
5286 * lib/autoconf/c.m4:
5287 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
5289 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
5290 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
5291 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
5293 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
5294 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
5295 to getpgrp.
5297 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
5298 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
5299 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
5300 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
5301 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
5303 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5305 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.

5316 correctly.
5317 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
5318 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
5319 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
5320 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
5321 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
5322 one line out...
5323 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
5324 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
5326 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5328 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
5329 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
5330 This also solves the name clash problems.
5331 Don't set the package's ID.

5337 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
5338 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
5339 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
5340 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
5341 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
5342 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
5343 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.

5362 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):

5368 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5370 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
5371 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
5372 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
5373 when they don't exist.
5375 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
5376 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
5377 need it.
5379 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
5380 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
5381 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
5382 we don't need it.
5384 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
5386 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5394 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Reset `AT_victims' so that

5426 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
5427 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple

5484 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't pass

5504 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Move the package
5505 related variables into `at_package_*'.

5517 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Stop displaying srcdir everywhere as,
5518 in addition, it introduces useless differences in logs.

5520 Adjust PATH computation.
5521 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_UNAME): More readable display of PATH.

5532 From Uwe Seimet.

5538 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5540 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
5541 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
5543 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
5544 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
5546 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
5547 the wrong one.
5549 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to
5550 4m.
5552 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5554 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: New lib file.

5570 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoscan Invocation): Adjust.
5572 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5577 New, extracted from main.
5578 Use IO::File wherever possible.
5579 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
5580 Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
5581 Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
5582 `unm4.m4'.
5584 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5586 Version 2.52d.

5609 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5611 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
5612 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
5613 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
5615 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5617 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
5618 inverse order.
5620 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5622 * bin/autoupdate.in (@include): `installcheck' revealed the path
5623 to m4sugar was lacking!
5625 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5627 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass
5628 autom4te_perllibdir.
5630 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5632 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to
5633 debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to
5634 run is stupid.
5636 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5638 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from `@include'.
5639 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
5640 Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.

5664 `print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
5665 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
5666 (autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
5667 the time stamps.
5668 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
5670 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5672 * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.

5681 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.

5684 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
5685 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
5687 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5689 * bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.
5690 * tests/autoheader: Adjust.
5692 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5694 * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
5695 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
5696 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
5697 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
5698 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
5699 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
5700 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.

5704 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5707 * bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for

5710 (&parse_args): Adjust.
5711 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
5713 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5716 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
5717 * bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
5718 installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
5719 Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
5720 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
5721 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
5722 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
5723 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
5724 find the executables for it.
5725 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
5726 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
5727 We only need PERL.
5728 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
5729 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
5730 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
5731 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
5732 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
5733 * tests/autoscan: New.
5734 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
5735 refer to library files: rely on --language.

5750 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): s/@__@/@&t@/.
5751 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
5753 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5755 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
5756 download in a tmp dir.
5758 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5760 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
5761 case insensitive OSes out there :(

5777 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5779 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use
5780 foo=`(command) 2>/dev/null`
5781 not
5782 foo=`command` 2>/dev/null
5783 (at-devnull): Rename as...
5784 (AT-devnull): this.
5785 (--clean): Remove AT-* files too.
5786 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document `date'.
5787 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
5789 2001-08-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6293 2001-08-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6295 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
6297 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6299 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
6300 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
6301 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
6302 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
6304 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6306 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
6307 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
6308 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
6310 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6312 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
6313 effects.
6314 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
6316 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
6318 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
6319 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
6321 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6323 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
6324 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
6326 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6328 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
6330 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6332 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
6333 removed.
6334 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
6335 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
6336 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
6337 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
6338 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
6340 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6342 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
6343 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
6344 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
6346 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
6347 Dump information on the first run of each test.
6348 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
6349 test group.
6351 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6353 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
6354 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
6355 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
6356 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
6358 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
6359 does not like `' instead of [].
6360 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
6361 And don't output such tokens.
6362 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
6363 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
6364 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
6365 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
6366 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
6367 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
6369 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6371 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
6373 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6375 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
6377 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6379 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
6380 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
6381 AC_TRY_LINK.
6382 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
6383 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
6384 (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
6386 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6388 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
6389 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
6390 files.
6392 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
6393 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
6394 (@Request::source): Rename as...
6395 (@Request::input): this.
6396 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
6397 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
6398 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
6399 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
6400 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
6402 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6404 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
6405 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
6407 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
6408 (Request::id): this.
6409 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
6410 (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
6411 (&handle_output): Adjust.
6412 (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
6413 (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
6414 Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
6416 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6418 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
6419 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
6420 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
6421 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
6423 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6425 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
6426 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
6427 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
6429 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
6430 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
6431 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
6432 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
6433 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
6434 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
6435 (&mtime): New, export it.
6436 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
6437 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
6438 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
6440 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6442 Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
6443 must be proposed to the users.
6445 * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
6446 (@preselect): New.
6447 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
6448 (&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
6449 * bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
6451 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6453 * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
6454 macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
6455 lines arguments.
6457 2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6459 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without
6460 arguments.
6462 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6464 * bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
6465 From Nicolas Joly.
6467 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6469 Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.
6471 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins
6472 trace requests.
6473 (@m4_builtins): Rename as...
6474 (@m4_builtin): this.
6475 (%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New.
6476 (&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names.
6477 (&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here.
6478 (&trace_requests): Remove, unused.
6480 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6482 * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit,
6483 m4_if, and m4_wrap.
6485 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6487 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): Also forbid `_m4_*' tokens.
6488 (m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
6489 mismatch happens.
6490 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
6491 occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
6492 Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
6493 the appear in the output.
6494 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
6495 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
6496 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
6497 autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
6498 Check that `dnl' is caught.
6500 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6502 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52c.

6514 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6518 (&END): New.

6520 `END', as `Autom4te::General::END' will be triggered.

6522 * bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of

6670 (&parse_args): Default is `$f:$l:$n:$%', not `$f:$l:$n:$*'.
