3 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_RUN_IFELSE):
4 Remove core.conftest.* too; it's generated by Tru64 5.1.
5 Problem reported by Jennis Pruett.
6 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4
7 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL):
8 Don't bother to remove core files; AC_RUN_IFELSE should do that
9 for you.
11 2005-04-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
13 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_bpatsubsts): Add the b- to comment, too.
15 2005-04-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
17 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Handle --docdir.
18 Report from Horst Wente.
20 2005-04-15 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
22 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE): Fixed a typo in
23 the comment.
25 2005-04-14 Gregorio Guidi <greg_g@gentoo.org>
27 * doc/autoconf.texi (External Software, Package Options): Add
28 examples showing how to implement --with-* and --enable-* options.
30 2005-04-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
32 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Look for configure.ac
33 as well as configure.in. Problem reported by Gregorio Guidi.
35 2005-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
37 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Use gnulib's current
38 pattern for alloca snippet.
40 2005-04-04 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

48 2005-04-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
50 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't assume that "date +%s"
51 fails if %s isn't supported. Problem reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
53 2005-03-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
55 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS):
56 Merge `-z option' as well for the benefit of Solaris link flags. Pass
57 whole-archive (-zallextract, -zdefaultextract) options in the hope of
58 unique libraries, for the Sun Fortran 95 8.0 compiler. Bug reported
59 against Libtool by Yury Puhalsky <pooh@cryptopro.ru>.
61 2005-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
63 * NEWS: The configure command now warns you if you attempt to use
64 a directory whose name contains a special character like space,
65 newline, or "\".
66 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Allow
67 "," in file names. Do not use \@; it's not a portable regexp.
68 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise.
69 * lib/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise.
70 * tests/Makefile.am (edit): Likewise.
71 * tests/semantics.at: Likewise.
72 * tests/torture.at: Likewise.
73 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM): Likewise.
74 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCDIRS): Likewise.
75 * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Warn about
76 unportable file names.
77 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DIRCHECK): New macro.
78 (AC_INIT): Use it.
79 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Use ac_pwd rather than invoking pwd.
80 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Propagate
81 ac_pwd, and quote srcdir.
82 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Quote file name args.
84 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix some systematic formatting problems.
85 ".)" needs a following @: if not at the end of a sentence, and
86 similarly for "!)". "etc." should be preceded by a comma.
87 "n-th" -> "@var{n}th". pdksh is still buggy, so update its date.
89 2005-03-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
91 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Mention that AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR's
92 argument is often called 'build-aux'.
94 2005-03-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
96 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quotation Rule Of Thumb): Mention that the
97 macro AC_TRY_LINK is obsolete.
98 (Installation Directory Variables): Change `AC_OUTPUT_FILES' to
99 `AC_CONFIG_FILES'.
101 2005-02-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
103 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Be more careful to skip
104 `/usr/ucb/cc'; use `cl.exe' to distinguish the MS compiler
105 from a Common Lisp's `cl'.
106 (AC_PROG_CXX): Behave according to the documentation: don't
107 search for $ac_tool_prefix$CCC and $CCC, just set CXX=$CCC;
108 make the variable CCC precious; use `cl.exe', not `cl'.
110 2005-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
111 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
113 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Redirect stdin from
114 /dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this insulates
115 us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl"). Also, do this
116 redirection before invoking "hostname" or "uname", and keep the
117 original input stream available via...
118 (AS_ORIGINAL_STDIN_FD): ... this new macro.
119 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Don't
120 bother with "</dev/null" since it's now done at the top of
121 'configure'.
122 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Likewise.
123 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise.
124 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FLAVOR_GNU): Likewise.
125 * doc/autoconf.texi (File Descriptor Macros): New section.
126 (Printing Messages): Mention it.
127 * tests/base.at (Input/Output): New test.
129 2005-02-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
131 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): Don't set ECHO_C to
132 newline if neither \c nor -n work, as that would output two
133 newlines. Prefer -n to \c. Reported by Stepan Kasal.
135 2005-02-12 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
137 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_IF): Define by m4_defun, not m4_define.
138 This causes that any required macros inside will get before the if.
139 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te.cache): A typo.
141 2005-02-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
143 Undo previous change, except keep the change to
144 lib/autoconf/programs.m4 that replaced grep with shell
145 pattern-matching. This is because net-snmp configure reads stdin.
146 Reported by Noah Misch.
148 2005-02-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
150 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Redirect stdin
151 from /dev/null, as "configure" shouldn't read stdin, and this
152 insulates us from problems (e.g., when testing for "cl").
153 Suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz. Also, do this redirection
154 before invoking "hostname" or "uname".
155 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
156 _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Undo previous change, as it's no longer needed.
157 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Don't bother with
158 "</dev/null" since it's now done at the top of 'configure'.
159 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Likewise.
160 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FLAVOR_GNU): Likewise.
161 Also, replace grep with shell pattern-matching, to save a process.
163 2005-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
165 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
166 _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Redirect stdin to /dev/null, in an attempt to
167 avoid thinking that Allegro Common Lisp's "cl" command is a C++
168 compiler.
170 2005-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
172 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document that
173 grep -q isn't portable. Improve grep -s explanation.
174 Problem reported by Dan Manthey.
176 2005-02-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
178 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Clarify
179 PATH_SEPARATOR wording; fix typo in IFS. Reported by Gary V. Vaughan.
181 2005-02-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
183 * doc/autoconf.texi: Use @acronym for DJGPP.
184 Fix some @code's that should have been @env's, and vice versa.
185 Sort environment variable names.
186 Mention that shells no longer inherit IFS.
187 Don't recommend PATH_SEPARATOR=';' so strongly.
188 Mention that $RANDOM might expand to the empty string.
189 "symlink" and "soft link" -> "symbolic link".
190 Improve mktemp description (reported by Bruno Haible).
192 2005-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
194 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Don't overquote AT_SETUP arg.
195 * tests/m4sh.at (AS_DIRNAME, AS_BASENAME, AS_MKDIR_P, AS_HELP_STRING):
196 Likewise.
197 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN, AC_PATH_PROG & AC_PATH_PROGS):
198 Likewise.
200 2005-02-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
202 * NEWS: Mention AT_COPYRIGHT.
204 * tests/local.at (AT_CMP): Use diff directly on input files rather
205 than copying them.
207 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Don't look in
208 /usr/xpg4/bin since that sed dumps core (at least on Solaris 8).
210 2005-02-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
211 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
213 * tests/autotest.at (Empty test suite): New test.
214 * tests/torture.at (Substitute and define special characters)
215 (Substitute a 2000-byte string, Define to a 2000-byte string)
216 (Substitute a newline, Define a newline): New tests.
218 2005-02-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
220 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Revert 2002-03-04.
221 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR): Add `m4sugar' to keywords.
222 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Ignore LTLIBOBJS, FC variables, EGREP, FGREP, and SED.
223 * tests/m4sugar.at (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR_TEXT, AT_CHECK_M4RE): New macros.
224 (Standard regular expressions): New test.
225 (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies, m4_text_wrap): Strip
226 excess test name quoting.
227 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_OLD, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): Pass
228 CPPFLAGS to `configure' instead of setting it in `configure'.
230 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_UNAME): Try only /usr/bin/hostinfo, not
231 any `hostinfo' in $PATH, since hostinfo.exe is a popular file name
232 on some platforms.
234 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_LANG(Fortran), AC_FC_SRCEXT):
235 s/FC_SRCEXT/ac_fc_srcext/; s/FCFLAGS_SRCEXT/ac_fcflags_srcext/.
237 * tests/local.at (AT_CMP): New macro.
238 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Do not call AC_PROG_GREP.

242 (AT_CHECK_MACRO): Run `configure' twice with cache and compare results.
243 * tests/c.at (Extensions): Do not exit early.
244 * tests/atlocal.in: Inherit $GREP.
246 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_C_STD_TRY): New macro.
247 (_AC_PROG_CC_C89, _AC_PROG_CC_C99): Use it.

250 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Factor header comment portion out and move into...
251 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_COPYRIGHT): This.
252 * lib/autotest/general.at (AT_COPYRIGHT): New macro.
253 (AT_INIT): Add Autotest copyright notice. Display copyright notices in
254 --version output.
255 * tests/local.at: Add Autoconf test suite copyright notice.
256 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): Document AT_COPYRIGHT.

263 2005-02-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
265 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_escape): Escape ?, ^, \, $ too;
266 this fixes a bug tickled by the AT_CAPTURE_FILE change noted below.
268 Try not to generated lines of unlimited length, as POSIX places a
269 2047-byte limit on line length of portable text files.
270 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE):
271 Use newline as a separator, not space.
272 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_TESTED, AT_KEYWORDS): Likewise.
273 (AT_CAPTURE_FILE): Use space-backslash-newline as a separator, not
274 space.
276 2005-02-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
278 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK): Move func_* to
279 as_func_*. Add test to check whether positional parameters
280 are restored after function return.
282 2005-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
284 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention _,
285 BIN_SH, DUALCASE. Say that variables other than "status" are safe
286 if they contain a lower-case letter. The DUALCASE problem was
287 reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
289 * bin/autoconf.as: Don't exit with status 0 after write failure
290 with --help or --version.
291 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): Likewise.
292 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Likewise.
294 2005-02-02 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
296 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
297 Unicos 9 sed limitations.
298 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Try cf77 before fort77
299 to get the option-enhanced interface on older Crays. Try ftn for
300 Fortran 95 (newer Crays).
302 2005-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
304 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Go back to the simple solution, but take
305 care to echo the commands, so the user knows what's going on.
306 Modified from a suggestion by Stepan Kasal.
308 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Mention autopoint,
309 with a cross reference. Derived from a suggestion by Bruce Korb.
311 2005-01-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
313 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Warn about
314 discrepancy between CONFIG_SHELL and shell used to invoke 'configure'.
315 * doc/install.texi (Defining Variables): Likewise.
316 Based on a proposed patch by Ralf Wildenhues.
318 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make sure the required generated files
319 are up to date. Problem and original solution proposed by Stepan Kasal.
320 $(dist_man_MANS:.1=-bin-prereq), $(dist_man_MANS:.1=-tests-prereq),
321 implicit-man-prerequisites): New rules, used by the above.
323 * doc/make-stds.texi, doc/standards.texi: Sync from gnulib.
324 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/install-sh: Likewise.
325 * config/missing, config/texinfo.tex: Likewise.
327 2005-01-29 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
329 Simplify the implementation of m4_require (a.k.a. AC_REQUIRE).
330 Update the long comment explaining it.
332 m4_require no longer writes an ``is required by'' line to the
333 execution stack. It contains only one bit of non-redundant
334 information: that the macro was required, not called. And even
335 this bit is useless in most situations: have you ever met a macro
336 which both calls and requires the same macro?
338 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_defun_pro): Don't push a diversion...
339 (_m4_defun_pro_outer): ... only via this macro, for the outermost
340 macro.
341 (_m4_defun_epi, _m4_defun_epi_outer): Complementarily.
342 (m4_expansion_stack_pop): Remove the misplaced comment.
343 (m4_require): Don't put the ``is required by'' line to the
344 execution stack; slightly improve the out-of-a-defun error message.
345 (_m4_divert_grow): New macro, counter for the temporary diversions.
346 (_m4_require_call): Use it.
347 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_require): Expect output without the
348 ``is required by'' messages.
350 2005-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
352 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Recommend X
353 rather than x for expr.
355 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): Avoid subshells when
356 this is safe.
357 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP): Likewise.
358 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Likewise.
359 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
360 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Likewise.

368 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm
369 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Update
370 from masters, so that FileUtils.pm's update_file provide --force
371 support.
372 * bin/autoheader.in: Pass $force to update_file so that
373 config.h.in is always recreated when --force.
375 2005-01-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
377 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): Update Peter Simons' address.
379 2005-01-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
381 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Clarify that
382 "if test ! -d foo; ..." is portable. Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
384 2005-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
386 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Fix typo in case statement.
387 Warn about newline stripping in `` and $(). Update Solaris
388 version to 9.
389 (Limitations of Builtins): Use expr "X...", not expr "x...", as
390 X insulates us from future changes to Posix.
391 (Limitations of Usual Tools): For AS_DIRNAME, warn about newline
392 stripping.
394 2005-01-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
396 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Delete the false comment that
397 you cannot use AC_DEFINE to define macros containing `[' or `]'.
399 2005-01-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
401 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document bug
402 in Solaris 8 join. Problem reported by Tomohiro Suzuki on

412 ulongval to be static, to avoid unwanted GCC warning. Problem
413 reported by Michael Jennings via Daniel Reed; see
414 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=143852>.
416 2005-01-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
418 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Define datarootdir,
419 docdir, htmldir, dvidir, pdfdir, psdir, and localdir. Update
420 datadir, infodir, and mandir. Adjust argument parsing code.
421 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Update help text.
422 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Document
423 new variables.
425 2005-01-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
427 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): If the Make program does
428 not seem to work, assume it does set $(MAKE).
429 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Update.
431 2005-01-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
433 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_REQUIRE): Add a comment about nesting.
435 2005-01-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
437 A cleanup of the diversion support in m4sugar.
439 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_divert): A typo in description.
440 (_m4_divert_n_stack): New macro; the expansion is
441 <newline>m4_divert_stack, if m4_divert_stack is defined, and void
442 otherwise.
443 (m4_divert, m4_divert_push, m4_divert_pop, m4_init): Use it.
444 (m4_divert_push, m4_divert_pop, _m4_defun_epi): Don't expand the word
445 stored in _m4_divert_diversion or _m4_divert_dump.
446 (m4_divert_pop): When the parameter is given, compare the symbolic
447 name with the last diversion pushed on the stack. Previously, the
448 current diversion was compared with the numeric value of the
449 diversion given as the parameter.
450 (m4_require): If the macro hasn't been expanded yet, call ...
451 (_m4_require_call): this new macro.
453 2005-01-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
455 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE):
456 Workarounds for documented `case' limitations.
458 2005-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

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

952 * bin/autoheader.in ($autoconf): Allow spaces in file names.
953 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP, _AT_CHECK,
954 AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Likewise.
955 * tests/wrapper.as (testdir, AUTOM4TE_CFG, autom4te_perllibdir,
956 main program): Likewise.
958 2004-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
960 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Quote $ac_popdir uses.

964 2004-08-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
966 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Document isinf and
967 and isnan. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
969 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Return correct exit status even
970 if unlink succeeds and sets $?. Needed with Solaris 8's perl 5.00503.
972 2004-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
974 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): Use configure.in, not configure.ac,
975 for compatibility with Automake 1.4. Reported by J C Fitzgerald in
976 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-08/msg00051.html>.
978 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
980 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE): New empty macro.
981 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Call it to require config.sub and config.guess.
982 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Likewise for install-sh.
983 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
984 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
985 AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE. Automake 1.10 will trace it.
987 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
989 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
990 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET. Automake 1.9.1 will
991 trace them.
993 2004-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
995 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Set BIN_SH, for
996 Tru64.
997 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention BIN_SH.
998 Document problem with "`""`" in pdksh POSIX mode.
1000 2004-07-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1002 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Use "set -o posix"
1003 with pdksh, too. Problem reported by Patrick Welche via
1004 Gary V. Vaughan.
1005 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Note that set -o posix is
1006 useful for pkdsh, too.
1008 2004-06-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1010 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Require
1011 _AS_UNSET_PREPARE, so that we can use $as_unset directly.
1012 Don't fail if ENV or BASH_ENV is readonly.
1013 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Don't fail if ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, LC_ALL,
1014 etc. are read only. Problem reported by Ludovic Courtes.
1016 2004-06-23 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
1018 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): If the shell is
1019 zsh, disable GLOB_SUBST to avoid backslash handling problems.
1020 (trivial change)
1022 2004-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1024 * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Warn about
1025 names like "aux". Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1027 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY (C)): Use division
1028 by zero instead of array size, so that we can use any arithmetic
1029 constant expression (instead of requiring an integer constant
1030 expression). This allows us to test expressions like DBL_MAX <
1031 LDBL_MAX, which didn't conform to the C standard using the old
1032 method.
1033 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Put back in the tests for LDBL_MAX and LDBL_EPSILON,
1034 now that we can do floating-point tests at compile time.
1036 2004-06-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1038 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Don't check LDBL_MAX
1039 and LDBL_EPSILON, as the resulting expression isn't an
1040 integer constant expression and violates the C standard.
1041 Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. Also, check
1042 for "L" suffix, and check that long double doesn't have
1043 worse range or precision than double, that mixed-mode
1044 arithmetic doesn't generate a diagnostic, that double
1045 constants fit in long double.
1047 2004-06-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1049 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on free(NULL),
1050 malloc(0) and realloc(NULL,size).
1052 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Spelling error reported by
1053 Bob Proulx.
1055 2004-05-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1057 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (HAVE_STDBOOL_H): Detect _Bool bug
1058 in HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]. Problem reported
1059 by Jim Meyering.
1061 2004-05-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1063 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Mention that ! COMMAND
1064 can be rewritten using if-then-else. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
1066 2004-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1068 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Fix typo.
1069 Problem reported by Stepan Kasal.
1071 2004-05-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1073 * tests/Makefile.am (autoconfdir): Fix to match comment (trivial
1074 change). Patch reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
1075 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-05/msg00092.html>.
1077 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Don't assume that a
1078 function F exists if the compiler and linker let you compile an
1079 expression like (F != 0). Recent versions of GCC optimize away
1080 the reference to F in that case, since every function address must
1081 be nonzero, so the link succeeds even if F does not exist.
1082 Problem reported by Manu in
1083 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00060.html>.
1085 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Standardize on the spelling of
1086 "Unix". Many uses changed.
1087 (Limitations of Builtins): Explain better why the ! command isn't
1088 portable.
1090 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1092 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
1093 LT_SUPPORTED_TAG in lieu of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS.
1095 2004-05-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1097 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add strerror_r, cross
1098 referencing AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R.
1100 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): In AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID,
1101 note pessimistic assumption when cross compiling.
1103 2004-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1105 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Note that BSD make
1106 (until 2004) invoked subcommands with sh -e, contra POSIX.
1107 Reported by Kevin Ryde.
1109 2004-05-10 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
1111 * programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Fixed bug where PATH argument handed to
1112 _AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK contained leading whitespace (i.e.
1113 " $PATH:/usr/xpg4/bin"). This resulted in bogus tests, such as
1114 `test -f " /usr/bin/grep"', which _always_ failed.
1115 (AC_PROG_SED): Ditto bogus PATH fix.
1116 * autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_GREP): Properly document that this macro
1117 requires that grep correctly supports _multiple_ `-e' options, rather
1118 than stating only that grep should accept `-e'.
1120 2004-05-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1122 Port to C99, which requires that 'exit' be declared.
1124 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT
1125 to ensure that stdlib.h is included.
1126 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP,
1127 AC_FUNC_STRTOD, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_FORK, _AC_FUNC_FORK,
1128 _AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3): Likewise.
1129 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Likewise.
1130 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS): Likewise.
1131 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Include <stdlib.h>
1132 when using 'exit' in a test; C99 requires that 'exit' be declared.
1134 2004-05-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1136 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_GREP
1137 now prefers 'grep' implementations that accept -e.
1138 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Describe problems of traditional
1139 egrep and fgrep with long input lines, and of traditional grep
1140 with -e.
1141 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Check for -e, too.
1142 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Assume 3rd arg is properly quoted for the shell.
1143 All callers changed. Append /usr/xpg4/bin to the PATH, for
1144 Solaris.
1145 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Discard stderr, so we don't bother
1146 the user with complaints about multiple -e options.
1147 * tests/local.at (AC_STATE_SAVE): Use $GREP, not grep.
1148 Define it with AC_PROG_GREP.
1149 * configure.ac (AC_PROG_GREP): Add.
1150 * lib/freeze.mk (GREP): New macro.
1152 2004-05-02 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
1154 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Consult $SHELL as
1155 a possible candidate only after all others fail, rather than
1156 consulting it first. This improves backward compatibility by
1157 better reflecting the way shell selection occurred in previous
1158 versions of Autoconf, and should help to avoid triggering latent
1159 problems in other packages, such as the one in Automake where zsh
1160 is not handled robustly:
1161 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2004-04/msg00095.html
1162 Although it is not Autoconf's responsibility to work around
1163 problems in Automake, it nevertheless makes sense to avoid
1164 introducing unnecessary incompatibilites.
1166 2004-04-22 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>,
1167 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
1169 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't guess
1170 how deeply nested we are when a suitable tool is found, set the
1171 ac_path_TOOL_found flag.
1172 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK): Encapsulate knowledge of how deeply
1173 nested we are in this macro. Break out of all 3 nested loops if
1174 ac_path_TOOL_found is set.
1176 2004-04-21 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
1178 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Break out
1179 of the _AS_PATH_WALK loop too if GNU flavor is found.
1181 2004-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1183 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Update documentation
1184 for `$<'. New entry `Long lines', based on a report from Simon
1185 Josefsson. Augment the documentation for SHELL = @SHELL@ with a
1186 paragraph about DJGPP, based on a mail from Richard Dawe.
1188 2004-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1190 * tests/c.at (C keywords): Don't assume that GCC supports
1191 "restrict" and "inline", as sufficiently-old GCC versions do not
1192 (also, GCC configured to be in pedantic C89 mode does not).
1193 Problem reported by Sumit Pandya in:
1194 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-04/msg00092.html
1196 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_G, _AC_PROG_CXX_G): Don't
1197 consider -g to work if it generates warnings when plain compiles
1198 don't. Problem reported by Braden McDaniel in:
1199 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00014.html
1201 * doc/autoconf.texi (Slashes): New section, to document a problem
1202 reported by Jim Meyering in:
1203 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-02/msg00060.html
1205 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Remove potential
1206 linker output files before linking, to work around IRIX 6 linker bug.
1207 Problem reported by Rainer Orth in:
1208 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-02/msg00007.html
1210 2004-04-20 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
1212 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Make the
1213 best tool so far counter rely on the tool path variable name to
1214 avoid checks for one tool being affected by the results of running
1215 the length check on a previous tool.
1217 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Take an additional
1218 match expression argument, as different greps have different
1219 regular expression flavours.
1220 (AC_PROG_FGREP): Pass 'FGREP'. fgrep treats all match chars as
1221 literals.
1222 (AC_PROG_EGREP): Pass 'EGREP$'.
1223 (AC_PROG_GREP): Pass 'GREP$'.
1225 2004-04-20 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>
1227 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Cache variable
1228 is `ac_cv_path_GREP', not `oc_cv_path_GREP'.
1230 2004-03-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1232 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers, Particular Types, Generic
1233 Types, Specific Compiler Characteristics, System Services,
1234 Obsolete Macros): Use 'long int', 'short int', 'unsigned int'
1235 etc. consistently instead of 'long', 'short', 'unsigned' etc.
1236 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C), AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
1237 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES):
1238 Likewise.
1239 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT): Likewise.
1240 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_TYPE_SIZE_T,
1241 AC_TYPE_OFF_T): Likewise.
1242 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_TYPES: backward compatibility):
1243 Likewise.
1245 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Create an empty aclocal.m4, to
1246 pacify libtool 1.5.2. Fix quoting problems in sed command.
1248 2004-03-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1250 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Structures): AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE
1251 now defines HAVE_DECL_TZNAME if it is declared, when
1252 HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE is not defined.
1253 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Implement this.
1254 Do not assume atoi. Rely on HAVE_DECL_TZNAME when testing
1255 for HAVE_TZNAME.
1257 2004-03-28 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
1259 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Corrected
1260 superfluous backslashing of quotes (") in sed expressions;
1261 thanks to Paul Eggert.
1263 2004-03-26 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1265 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): new name of Intel
1266 Fortran compiler is ifort, also added pghpf; thanks to Nelson
1267 H. F. Beebe for the bug report.
1269 2004-03-26 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@fftw.org>
1271 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): fix for
1272 quoted -cmdline argument in Portland Group compiler (bug
1273 reported by Jeffrey J. Barteet).
1275 2004-03-25 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1277 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Move cross_compiling ovindex to
1278 (Run Time): ... here, where it's now mentioned.
1280 2004-03-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1282 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te Invocation): Language Autoconf
1283 inherits from language Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4.
1284 (Customizing autom4te): Adjust example; the cache must now be
1285 disabled for language Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4.
1287 2004-03-16 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1288 Nathanael Nerode <neroden@twcny.rr.com>
1290 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL,
1291 AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Warn if a cross-tool is found without
1292 a prefix.
1293 (AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL,
1294 AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS): New macros.
1295 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Programs): Document
1296 (AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL,
1297 AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS, and warn for future changes
1298 in the behavior of AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL and
1299 AC_CHECK_TOOLS.
1300 (Specifying Names): Document the reason for these future
1301 behavioral changes.
1302 * tests/mktests.sh: Do not generate tests for the
1303 new macros.
1304 * NEWS: Document these changes.
1306 * doc/autoconf.texi: Avoid macros with unbraced arguments,
1307 they make TeX hang up.
1309 2004-03-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@bogus.example.com>
1311 * NEWS: New macro AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF.
1312 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document it.
1313 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Use long int rather than
1314 int; avoid "a `$1'" since this isn't grammatical if $1 begins with a
1315 vowel.
1316 (AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF): New macro.
1317 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Exclude AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF.
1318 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF): Add tests similar to
1319 those for sizeof.
1321 2004-03-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1323 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Don't use $< in a context where
1324 POSIX doesn't require support for it. Use $@.in instead.
1325 Problem reported by Anthony N. Frasso in
1326 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-03/msg00008.html>.
1327 * bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Add @configure_input@ comment.
1329 2004-02-23 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
1331 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Recognize LT_INIT
1332 from the next generation of Libtool.
1333 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoreconf-preselections): Ditto.
1335 2004-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1337 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools) <mkdir>: `mkdir -p'

1340 2004-02-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1342 Fix a dependencies problem, stemming from a Autoconf 2.59 build
1343 problem on QNX reported by Stephen Rasku in
1344 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-02/msg00066.html>.
1346 * bin/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/autoconf.in): Depend on
1347 $(m4sh_m4f_dependencies); this removes a FIXME.
1348 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/wrapper.in): Likewise.
1349 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Split into pieces,
1350 one per related section. Add $(srcdir)/wrapper.in.
1352 2004-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1354 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Emphasize that
1355 AC_SUBST provides no portable way to escape literal newlines.
1357 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Ignore all
1358 flags of the form -lcrt*.o, not just -lcrt[01].o and -lcrtbegin.o.
1359 Darwin uses -lcrt2.o and there's little point to cataloging all
1360 the system variants. Partial fix reported by Andreas Waechter in:
1361 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-02/msg00006.html
1362 for bug reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe in:

1370 acobsolete.m4, suggested by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1372 2004-02-02 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1374 * bin/autoupdate.in: Define __file__ so that warnings
1375 refer to the correct file.
1376 * doc/autoconf.texi (AU_DEFUN): Describe more correctly
1377 the behavior of the third argument.
1378 * lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFUN): Describe more
1379 correctly the behavior of the third argument. Document
1380 what the three macros that AU_DEFUN defines do. Fix
1381 warning message when the third argument includes $0
1382 (reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz).
1384 2004-01-30 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1385 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
1386 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1388 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (M4SH-SANITIZE): New diversion.
1389 (AS_INIT): Output shell initialization there. Removed optional
1390 parameter. Expand _AS_SHELL_FN_SPY.
1391 (AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN): Removed.
1392 (_AS_SHELL_FN_SPY): New macro.
1393 (AS_DETECT_REQUIRED, AS_DETECT_SUGGESTED): New
1394 macros.
1395 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Remove loop to find better shell
1396 and documentation for the parameter.
1397 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Move it here.
1398 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK): Remove shell invocation, reformat.
1399 (_AS_RUN): Move it here, support testing with eval.
1400 (AS_REQUIRE_SHELL_FN): Require shell functions when
1401 it is used.
1402 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Put around braces, we do not
1403 trigger the bash bug anymore.
1404 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Document M4SH-SANITIZE, do not
1405 use AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN.
1406 * bin/autoconf.in, tests/wrapper.in: Regenerated.

1414 (AU_DEFUN): Honor the third parameter, create autoupdate
1415 macros with AU_DEFINE.
1416 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H,
1417 AC_DIR_HEADER): Use AU_DEFUN's third parameter.
1418 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (AC_LANG_SAVE): Likewise.

1425 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Remove FIXME.

1436 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): Add 1992 thorugh

1438 the 2003-05-22 change, which removed the older years from the list.
1439 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Update copyright date to 2004.
1441 2004-01-27 Gary V. Vaugan <gary@gnu.org>

1446 possible.
1447 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Factor out the core of
1448 AC_PROG_GREP.
1449 (AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP): Use it to find best available

1451 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK): Factor out the common core of
1452 _AC_PROG_GREP, and AC_PROG_SED.
1453 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): New helper macro for finding the
1454 longest input length accepted by a command.
1455 (AC_PROG_SED): Use it.
1456 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document the changes.
1457 * NEWS: Updated.
1459 2004-01-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1461 * bin/autoconf.as ($version): Update copyright from 2003 to 2004.

1463 bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in: Likewise.
1464 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): Likewise.
1466 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, configure, bin/Makefile.in,
1467 bin/autoconf.in, config/Makefile.in, config/config.guess,
1468 config/config.sub, config/install-sh, config/mdate-sh,

1483 2004-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1485 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Include <stdint.h> even if
1486 HAVE_INTTYPES_H is defined. This is needed on Tru64 5.1b with
1487 Compac C V6.5-207 (dtk), which defines uintmax_t in <stdint.h> but
1488 not <inttypes.h>. Problem reported by Tim Mooney in
1489 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-01/msg00147.html>.
1490 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS):
1491 Likewise.
1493 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Use diff, not sed;
1494 otherwise "make check" fails because it forbids cmp (I guess
1495 because cmp treats files as binary on DOS-like systems).
1497 * tests/mktests.sh: Update copyright date to 2004, since some tests
1498 have changed in 2004.
1500 2004-01-23 Gary V. Vaugan <gary@gnu.org>

1503 non-truncating sed or gsed program in PATH.
1504 * tests/acprograms.at: Add it.
1505 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document it.
1506 * NEWS: Updated.
1508 2004-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1510 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Try -std, not -std1, since
1511 -std1 disables some useful extensions on Tru64. Problem reported
1512 by N. Lichtmaier in
1513 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00100.html>.
1515 2004-01-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1517 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document that
1518 AS_MKDIR_P succeeds if the destination is a symbolic link
1519 to an existing directory.
1520 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note that mkdir -p might not
1521 succeed on symlinks to directories.
1523 2004-01-13 Paul Hilfinger <hilfinger@CS.Berkeley.EDU>
1525 * lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFUN): Grammar fix in comment.
1526 * bin/autoheader.in: Grammar fix in message.
1527 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P):
1528 Test for dir before calling mkdir -p. (trivial changes)
1530 2004-01-13 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1532 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): In AC_TRY_COMPILE and
1533 AC_TRY_LINK, s/AC_LANG_SOURCE/AC_LANG_PROGRAM/. (trivial change)
1535 2004-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1537 * doc/autoconf.texi (Running the Preprocessor): Correct grammar.
1539 2004-01-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1541 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fix bug: AC_CHECK_SIZEOF evokes a warning
1542 with `autoconf -Wall,error'. Bug reported by Eric Blake in:
1543 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-01/msg00000.html
1544 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Invoke _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not
1545 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, since we now assume our caller invokes
1546 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE, for symmetry with _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
1547 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN): Likewise, for _AC_RUN_IFELSE instead
1548 of AC_RUN_IFELSE; this avoids the warning mentioned above.
1549 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
1551 2004-01-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1553 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): Avoid \$ inside
1554 `"'...'"`, as it's confusing (and I suspect it may not work on
1555 some platforms). The code was incorrect anyway, as it assumed
1556 that \$ evaluated to itself in that context. Reported by
1557 Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1559 2004-01-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1561 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS
1562 and _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG.

1566 * doc/autoconf.texi (One Macro Call): Fix an incorrect
1567 example, and add more examples. Reported by Eric Sunshine.
1569 2004-01-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1571 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
1572 Remove warning against "rm -fr" introduced yesterday; it
1573 was a false alarm.
1575 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf,
1576 autoscan, autoupdate, ifnames): Don't use chmod -w.
1577 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Likewise.
1578 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Warn against
1579 "chmod -w".

1582 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1584 * libc/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Speed up sed scripts
1585 by doing lineno substitution only on lines containing "$LINENO".
1587 2004-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1589 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM):
1590 Use "rm -f" to remove conftest.sed, not plain "rm".
1591 Bug reported by David Relson in
1592 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00011.html>.
1594 * Makefile.am (autom4te-update):
1595 Replace "rm -rf" and "rm -fr" with "rm -f -r", as POSIX requires.
1596 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck, do-po-update): Likewise.
1597 * doc/autoconf.texi (Guidelines): Likewise.
1598 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Likewise.

1603 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Likewise.
1604 * tests/tortue.at (AC_CONFIG_FILES, HEADERS, LINKS and COMMANDS,
1605 srcdir): Likewise.
1606 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
1607 Warn against "rm -fr".
1609 2004-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1611 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Mention that cc
1612 -c -o might not work. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
1613 (C Compiler, Generating Sources, Limitations
1614 of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
1615 Don't put '-o' after non-options, as POSIX doesn't allow this.
1616 Mention that cc's name might be gcc or c89 or whatever.
1618 2004-01-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1620 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add various further index entries.
1622 2003-12-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1624 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory):
1625 Fix typo: mkdir without umask arg.
1627 2003-12-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1629 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <Automatic rule rewriting>:
1630 Documents OSF1/Tru64 make behavior. Replace `VPATH = ../src' by
1631 `VPATH = ../pkg/src' in examples to make the OSF1/Tru64 make
1632 explanation clearer.
1634 2003-12-24 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1636 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Fix misspelling of
1637 AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.

1641 * configure.ac: Test if sh -n works.
1642 * configure: Regenerate.
1643 * tests/atlocal.in: Store the result here.
1644 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX): Extracted from
1645 tools.at, looking in atlocal's ac_cv_sh_n_works instead
1646 of explicitly testing.
1647 (AT_CHECK_PERL_SYNTAX): Moved from tools.at.
1648 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Test for the configure script syntax.
1649 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the shell scripts): Simplify
1650 using AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX.

1664 Extracted from AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
1665 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK, AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN): New
1666 macros.
1667 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Move reinvocation code from
1668 _AS_LINENO_WORKS, use it to find out if shell
1669 functions work.
1670 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Don't find another shell if $LINENO
1671 does not work.
1672 (AS_INIT): Pass parameter down to AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
1673 (AS_REQUIRE_SHELL_FN): Test that AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN

1691 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_LEX can

1734 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Revise, showing $host rather
1735 than $target since the latter is not usual, add guidelines on when to
1736 use or not use the system type.
1738 2003-11-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
1740 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Fix what looks like a

1913 Problems reported by Eric Sunshine.
1915 2003-10-08 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1917 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Omit quoted
1918 -mGLOB_options_string stuff for Intel ifc, which can cause

1942 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
1943 cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
1944 since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.

1948 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f
1949 free" flag. Re-order flags tested into rough order of popularity.
1951 2003-10-03 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1953 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): Reverse the order of the
1954 arguments so that it can be used with syntax identical to
1955 AC_PROG_F77, and so that we can more easily decide to
1956 remove/deprecate the DIALECT optional argument in the future if it
1957 proves troublesome.
1958 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Exit 77 upon failure to fix test suite for
1959 non-freeform-supporting compilers. Document freeform flags.
1961 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1963 * configure.ac: Look for emacs, not macs.

2023 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-07/msg00042.html>.
2024 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): Change "rm -fr ./-p" to the more-conservative
2025 "test -d ./-p && rmdir ./-p". Suggested by Andreas Schwab in:
2026 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-09/msg00039.html
2028 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2030 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
2031 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
2032 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
2033 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
2034 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
2036 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2038 * bin/autoscan.in (Autom4te::FileUtils): Use it for find_file.
2039 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

2046 From Bruno Haible.
2048 2003-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2050 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): If mkdir -p . fails,

2057 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
2058 Reported by Henk Krus.
2059 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
2061 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
2062 AT_help_all.
2063 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
2064 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
2065 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
2066 (AT_INIT): here.
2067 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...
2068 (at_times_p): this.
2069 (AT_INIT): When summarizing the test that ran, remove
2070 $at_times_file after use, and check it is present before trying to
2071 use it.
2073 2003-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2075 Version 2.57d.
2077 * bin/Makefile.am (edit): Handle '@configure_input@'.
2078 (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf, autoscan, autoupdate)
2079 (ifnames): chmod -w.
2080 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
2081 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
2082 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
2083 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
2084 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
2085 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
2086 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
2087 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a
2088 -w file.

2094 versus test -L issues.
2096 2003-09-23 Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@mvista.com> and
2097 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2099 Trivial change to support GCC's configuration procedure.
2100 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR): New macro.
2101 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Don't warn
2102 about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for
2103 any warning.

2130 From Peter Hendrickson.
2132 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2134 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Make it harder to be
2135 willing to edit the output files.
2137 2003-09-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2139 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): Also exercise AC_FC_SRCEXT
2140 and AC_FC_FREEFORM.
2141 * tests/mktests.sh: Skip AC_FC_SRCEXT.
2142 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM): Likewise.

2162 2003-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2164 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Try -ffree-form too,
2165 for the benefit of g77 3.2. Fix suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
2167 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2169 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Fix the filtering of
2170 AC_FUNC_WAIT3.
2172 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2174 * bin/autom4te.in: Use &fatal where more appropriate than &error.
2175 (freeze): When exiting, use $exit_code.
2176 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4: Comment changes.
2178 2003-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2180 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Add AC_FC_FUNC.
2182 2003-09-02 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
2184 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
2185 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
2186 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
2187 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
2188 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
2189 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
2190 AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.
2192 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX(C), _AC_LANG_PREFIX(C++)):
2193 New macros.
2194 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Invoke _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_FC_HOOKS if defined.

2209 AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN, AC_F77_MAIN, _AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING,
2210 AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING, AC_F77_WRAPPERS, AC_F77_FUNC):
2211 Rewrite in terms of the above.
2212 (_AC_PROG_F77_G, _AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT, _AC_PROG_F77_V): Remove.
2213 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX): New macro.

2219 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make):
2220 Document problems with timestamp resolution that 'make', 'cp -p', and
2221 'touch -r' have.
2223 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2225 * tests/m4sugar.at (cross_warning): Make sure to enable the
2226 output, so that we can track spurious m4sugar output.
2227 * tests/local.at: Require 2.57.
2228 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't m4_default the arguments that
2229 are defaulted by AT_CHECK anyway.
2230 Use AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE.
2231 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: There should be no output at all: add a
2232 missing dnl.
2234 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2236 * bin/autoheader.in: Issue the "Using auxiliary..." message only
2237 when -Wobsolete is set.
2238 Set it on by default.
2239 Suggested by Klee Dienes.

2290 * bin/autom4te.in: Adjust to output the call stack.
2291 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Adjust.

2314 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it.
2316 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2318 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
2319 including when the cache is used.
2321 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
2322 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
2323 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
2324 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
2325 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
2327 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
2328 Use them.
2329 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
2330 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
2331 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
2332 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
2333 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
2334 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
2335 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
2336 failure, hence we can use the cache.
2337 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
2338 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
2339 Remove.
2340 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
2341 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
2342 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
2343 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
2344 the latter reveals calls to the former.
2346 Adjust the tests.
2348 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
2350 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2382 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
2383 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
2384 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
2385 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
2386 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
2387 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.
2388 More perldoc.
2389 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to...
2390 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here.
2392 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2394 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm
2395 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: New,

2448 DESCRIPTION rather than FILE and LINE. Shorten result to fit in new,
2449 shorter column three. Add DESCRIPTION to log file content.
2451 2003-08-13 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2453 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Correct typo in final status
2454 output.
2456 2003-08-12 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2458 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Use new _AT_CHECK API.
2459 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Move core functionality to...
2460 (_AT_CHECK): ...this new macro.
2462 2003-08-07 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2464 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CHECK): Move core functionality...
2465 (AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): ...to this new macro.
2467 2003-07-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2469 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): Work around a bug
2470 in Bash 2.01. Problem reported by Brian Gough in
2471 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-07/msg00106.html>.
2473 2003-07-25 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu>
2475 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Also ignore
2476 -lcrt1.o, for OS X. (trivial change)
2478 2003-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2480 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Wrap the '#define inline ...'
2481 inside '#ifndef __cplusplus'. Problem reported by
2482 Bob Friesenhahn.
2484 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
2486 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
2487 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
2488 (trivial change). See:
2489 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html
2490 (This really should be 'intptr_t', not 'long', but that would
2491 take more work.)
2493 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2495 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Make it read only.
2496 Depend on Makefile since it contains substitutions.
2497 From Paolo Bonzini.
2498 * lib/autom4te.in (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
2499 This change was made on autom4te.cfg which is generated.
2500 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
2502 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2504 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): sys/mount.h.
2505 From Gareth McCaughan.
2507 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2509 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
2510 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
2511 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
2512 top_srcdir to find config.log.
2513 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
2514 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
2516 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2518 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being
2519 always run: output config.log on $at_group_log.
2521 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2523 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Don't use quotes in
2524 C++ comments as it puzzles Emacs' sh font-lock-mode.
2526 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2528 * tests/mktests.sh (au_exclude_egrep): Fix output copyright notice.
2529 * lib/autom4te.cfg (args): Add local.at? for Autotest args.
2530 * tests/atspecific.m4: Rename as...

2533 * tests/local.at: here.
2534 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.
2535 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
2537 2003-06-21 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2539 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extend test program to get an
2540 error from OSF 4.0 Compaq cc in its default almost-ANSI mode, thereby
2541 ensuring we add -std1 for full-ANSI.
2543 * doc/autoconf.texi (hdrindex): New macro.
2544 Add index entries for portability of various standard header files.
2546 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2548 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.57b.
2550 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2552 Version 2.57a.
2554 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2556 * bin/autom4te.in: Don't rely on $HOME being defined.
2557 Reported by Marc Espie as PR/233.
2559 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2561 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use at_times_file only if used.
2562 From Nicolas Joly.
2564 2003-06-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2566 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp,
2567 * config/install-sh, config/mkinstalldirs, doc/standards.texi:
2568 Update from masters.
2570 2003-06-11 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
2572 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): Document AT_XFAIL_IF
2573 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_XFAIL_IF): New macro.
2574 (TEST_SCRIPT): New diversion.
2575 (AT_SETUP): Divert output to TEST_SCRIPT and move some code...
2576 (AT_CLEANUP): ...to here. Undivert TEST_SCRIPT.
2577 (AT_INIT): Support for expected failures.
2579 2003-06-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2581 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoheader.in: White space
2582 changes.
2583 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&backname): Remove, no longer used by
2584 Autoconf nor Automake.
2585 (&contents): New, from Automake.
2586 PODify.
2588 2003-05-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2590 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions),
2591 lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): Check that mktime
2592 is the inverse of localtime.
2594 2003-05-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2596 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Print diagnostics to STDERR.
2597 (handle_exec_errors): New function. Work around $! being
2598 altered by WEXITSTATUS.
2599 (xqx, xsystem): Use handle_exec_errors.
2601 2003-05-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2603 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Rewrite exit code processing.
2604 Do not call `_exit()', simply modify `$?'.
2605 (xsystem): Reset $! before running system, and check it afterward.
2606 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Expect exit status
2607 63 for version mismatches.
2609 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2611 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
2612 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
2613 the middle of a line).
2614 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
2615 Remove useless spaces in comments.
2617 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2619 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an
2620 exit 63, so that we (or Automake's "missing") can tell the
2621 difference with a plain failure.
2622 * doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): Adjust.
2624 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2626 * Makefile.am, bin/Makefile.am, config/Makefile.am,
2627 * doc/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
2628 White spaces cleanup.
2630 2003-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2631 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2633 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
2634 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
2635 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
2636 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
2637 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
2638 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
2639 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
2640 Keith Bostic in
2641 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
2642 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
2643 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
2645 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2647 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
2648 From Ian Redfern.
2650 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
2652 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
2653 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
2654 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
2656 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
2657 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
2658 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
2659 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
2660 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
2661 at_suite_log when a test fails.
2662 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
2663 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
2664 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
2665 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
2666 its original place.
2667 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
2668 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
2669 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
2670 and stderr.
2672 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
2673 the name of the debugging directory and information about
2674 its contents.
2676 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
2678 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_REQUIRE): Actually use the 2nd
2679 parameter.
2681 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2683 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4, lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4
2684 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 lib/autoconf/general.m4
2685 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 lib/autoconf/oldnames.m4

2704 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2706 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Restore smashed
2707 ' \t' as '\t ' so that Emacs' whitespace.el keep it.
2708 Reported by Jim Meyering.
2710 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2712 * doc/autoconf.texi: Replace AC_HELP_STRING AS_HELP_STRING.

2714 Typos.
2715 Use '@.' for sentences that ended in a capital letter.
2716 From Art Haas.

2748 memcmp be declared before being tested.
2749 Reported by Sander Niemeijer.
2750 (AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_STRNLEN): Likewise.

2752 AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
2754 2003-05-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2756 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4: Include signal.h and unistd.h.
2757 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Adjust.
2758 Reported by Werner LEMBERG and Debian Bug 190886.
2760 2003-05-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2762 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): s/FOO/as_foo/ to avoid
2763 user name space clashes.
2764 Reported by Bruno Haible.
2766 2003-05-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2768 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
2769 * bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in (BEGIN): Make
2770 them uniform, and more robust to Perl special characters.
2771 Reported by Martin Mokrejs.
2773 2003-05-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2791 and truncate.
2793 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2795 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
2796 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
2797 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
2798 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
2800 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.
2801 (&parse_args): Use --force with aclocal if required and supported.

2806 Lock autom4te's cache.
2808 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm ($me, &name, &lock, &truncate, &seek): New.
2809 * bin/autom4te.in (&Request::save, &Request::load): Use an IO::File
2810 argument instead of a file name, so that the request file remains
2811 open during the whole autom4te run.
2812 ($icache_file): New.
2813 (&freeze): Lock the $icache_file.
2815 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2817 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
2818 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
2819 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
2820 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When
2821 grepping $at_help_all for keywords, use the field and keyword
2822 seperators to ensure a complete keyword match. Alter at_prev handling
2823 to support the new --keywords behavior.
2825 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2827 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
2828 align better with others. I also made some of the individual
2829 entries on one line, for brevity and to make it easier for me to

2929 * tests/m4sh.at (AS_HELP_STRING): New test.
2931 * tests/acgeneral.at: Regenerated.
2933 2003-03-26 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2935 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/DEFAULT/DEFAULTS/ since it makes more
2936 sense. Verbosify the diversion definitions comment.

2975 Tru64 make in the "target lookup" section.
2976 (Automake): Automake 1.5+ no longer requires special tools to be
2977 present on the developer's host.

2993 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Translate colons,
2994 to cope with DOS-style absolute paths, when constructing
2995 ${ac_make}.
2997 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES):
2998 When constructing paths with IFS=:, quote the path. If we're
2999 constructing a DOS-style absolute path, we don't want to split it
3000 on the colon.
3002 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Fix typo
3003 in description.
3005 2003-02-25 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

3017 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): test -n -> test -z,
3018 to fix a mismatch between example and discussion.

3022 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Add notes on printf
3023 format starting with "-".
3025 2003-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3027 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): `foo=bar make -e'
3028 is not portable inside Makefile.
3030 2003-02-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3032 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): When
3033 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
3034 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
3035 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
3037 2003-02-20 Klee Dienes <kdienes@apple.com>
3039 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Properly

3046 From Larry Jones.
3048 2002-12-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3050 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
3051 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
3052 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
3053 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
3054 gettimeofday and many other functions.
3056 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3058 Version 2.57.
3060 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
3062 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
3064 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
3065 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
3066 not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by
3067 Martin Frydl in
3068 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
3070 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
3071 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
3072 defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
3073 bug reported by Momchil Velkov in
3074 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014490.html>.
3076 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty
3077 arg, AC_DEFINE -> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED) in documentation for

3082 * Makefile.maint (www-gnu): New macro.
3083 (standards.texi-url_prefix, make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Use it, as
3084 the location has moved.
3086 2002-12-02 Martin Frydl <martin@systinet.com>
3088 * bin/autom4te.in (at_flatten): rewritten to avoid M4 problem when
3089 \(.*\) match is too long and there is something more to be checked.
3090 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014524.html>
3092 2002-11-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3099 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Move to...
3100 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): here.
3101 Require 1.7.1.
3103 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3105 Version 2.55.
3107 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/install-sh:
3108 Update from masters.
3110 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3112 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
3113 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
3114 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
3115 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
3116 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
3117 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for
3118 N_ and _.
3119 From Paul Eggert.
3121 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3123 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Compiling several files at once.
3124 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
3126 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3129 From Paul Eggert and Albert Chin-A-Young.
3131 2002-11-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3133 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Initialize f=$1 rather
3134 than assigning in main, to avoid HP cc +O3 optimizing it away.
3136 2002-11-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3138 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q
3139 option. Process --recheck after parsing all options. Pass -q
3140 option to configure on --recheck.
3141 (AC_OUTPUT): Pass -q from configure to config.status.
3142 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Strip -q from
3143 arguments to record.
3144 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Document
3145 config.status -q option.
3147 2002-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
3149 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Scan Makefile.am too. Ignore
3150 Makefile.in if Makefile.am exists.
3151 (output): Strip `.am' from Makefiles. Don't
3152 output AC_CONFIG_FILES if no Makefiles were found.
3154 2002-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3156 * Makefile.am (cvs_files): Add elisp-comp, mdate-sh.
3157 (local_updates): New.

3161 2002-11-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3163 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY): Wrap the `f'
3164 declaration in extern "C" too.

3167 2002-11-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3169 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Don't use grep
3170 -w.
3171 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Grep -w.
3172 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
3174 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3176 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
3177 Remove.
3178 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
3179 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
3180 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
3181 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
3182 otherwise available.])
3183 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
3184 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
3185 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
3186 was not compatible with Libtool.
3188 2002-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3190 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set the following variables,

3195 2002-11-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3197 Version 2.54c.
3199 * Makefile.maint (update, cvs-update, po-update, do-po-update):
3200 New.
3201 * config/texinfo.tex: Update.
3203 2002-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3205 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf_current_directory): New, extracted
3206 from...
3207 (&autoreconf): here.
3208 ($help, $make, &parse_args, &autoreconf_current_directory):
3209 Support -m/--make.
3210 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
3212 2002-10-31 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

3225 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): Don't use quadrigraphs here.
3226 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Make sure the `state-ls.before file exists.
3228 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3230 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use and display
3231 `$(MAKE)' instead of '${MAKE}' to emphasize that we refer to the
3232 Make variable, not a shell variable.
3233 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
3235 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3237 * bin/autom4te.in (load_configuration): Reject #args out of any
3238 language.
3240 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3242 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_MSG_LOG_CONFTEST): New.
3243 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE)
3244 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Use it.
3245 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT):
3246 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Likewise.
3247 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_SOURCE): Don't include confdefs.h,
3248 inline it.

3254 Suggested by Tim van Holder.
3256 2002-10-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3258 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_MALLOC and
3259 AC_FUNC_REALLOC check for compatibility with glibc, not POSIX.
3260 Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
3262 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3264 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Put also in words what the
3265 pictures says to assist free style readers.
3266 (Customizing autom4te): s/--cache=/--cache /.
3268 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3270 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_VFORK): Include stdlib.h and
3271 sys/wait.h.
3272 sparc_address_test returns void.
3273 Use it with an argument, as prototyped.
3274 From Bruno Haible.
3276 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3278 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Cygnus dirs have

3284 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): New test.

3290 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args, $help): Support --warnings.
3291 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): Rename as...
3292 (autom4te Invocation): this, for consistency with the other nodes.
3294 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3296 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): s/automate/autom4te/.
3297 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3299 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3301 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_QUOTE): The warning about quoted
3302 characters is a back as an `obsolete' warning now.
3303 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3305 2002-10-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3307 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.54c.
3309 2002-10-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3311 Version 2.54b.
3313 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Adjust to broken libtoolize.

3577 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
3579 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'
3580 to frozen files in @ARGV, as @ARGV must remain being a list of

3583 (&freeze): Use &error.
3584 (&up_to_date): If a file that was included according to the cache
3585 is no longer there, then the output is out dated.

3587 --force is given.
3588 * tests/tools.at (autom4te cache): New.

3597 that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
3598 format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
3599 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
3600 if some file was changed instead of `print'.
3601 * bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.

3635 file name to enable parallel executions.
3636 From Sam Varshavchik.
3638 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3640 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
3641 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to
3642 aclocal.
3643 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
3644 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
3645 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
3647 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3649 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
3650 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,

3653 "permute", too.
3654 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):

3677 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
3678 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
3679 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
3680 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
3682 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3719 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.

3746 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3748 From now on, autoscan files must always map a macro name to a
3749 word: there is no `default' macro for autoscan.
3751 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
3752 all.
3753 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
3754 explicit.
3756 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3806 * BUGS (Interoperability bugs): New section. Mention libtool
3807 1.4.2, configure.ac, and AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interoperability bug.
3809 2002-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3811 Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
3812 make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
3814 * bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
3815 (autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
3816 Move the body of the old .in rule here.
3818 2002-09-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3820 i960 compilers create `b.out' files by default.
3821 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3823 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Remove b.out files.
3824 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Adjust to b.out.
3826 2002-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3828 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Remove obsolete
3829 reference to `struct timezone' in the description of
3830 AC_HEADER_TIME.
3832 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3834 Version 2.54.
3836 * config/config.sub, config/config.guess: Update.
3837 * Makefile.maint: Update from bits of the Coreutils 4.5.1.
3838 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
3840 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3842 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Suggest
3843 reading config.log when the compiler is rejected.
3844 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
3846 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3848 * bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
3849 (chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
3850 Reported by Vance Shipley.
3852 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3854 * bin/autoscan.in (&parse_args): Pass a reference to the lists, not
3855 the lists.
3857 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3859 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
3860 prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
3861 difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.
3863 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3865 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
3867 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3869 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
3870 grammatical typos.
3871 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
3872 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
3873 is obsolescent.
3875 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3877 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
3878 (FAQ): this.
3879 (Defining Directories): New.
3881 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3883 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
3884 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
3886 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
3888 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
3889 plain `@' is wanted.
3891 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3893 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
3894 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
3895 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
3896 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
3897 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3898 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
3899 cases.
3901 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3903 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
3904 looking for a replacement file.
3905 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
3906 directory is relative.
3907 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
3908 directory definition.
3909 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
3911 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3913 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
3914 precious variables are.
3915 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
3917 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3919 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
3920 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
3921 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
3922 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
3923 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
3924 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
3926 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3928 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
3929 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
3931 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3933 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
3934 Automake 1.6c.
3935 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
3936 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
3938 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3940 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
3941 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
3942 Brinkmann.
3944 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3946 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
3947 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
3948 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
3950 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3952 Version 2.53c.
3954 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3956 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
3957 SITE_MACRO_DIR.
3958 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
3960 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3962 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
3963 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
3964 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
3966 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3968 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
3969 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
3971 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3973 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
3974 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
3975 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
3976 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
3978 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3980 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
3981 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
3982 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
3984 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
3986 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
3987 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
3988 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
3989 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
3990 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
3992 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
3993 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
3994 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
3996 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
3998 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
3999 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
4001 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
4002 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
4003 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
4004 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
4005 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
4006 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
4007 to shorten the output script.
4009 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4011 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
4012 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
4013 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
4014 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
4015 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
4016 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
4017 example, since the old example is now out of date.
4019 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
4020 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
4021 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
4022 spaghetti.
4024 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
4025 of rolling our own unset.
4026 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
4027 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
4029 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
4030 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
4031 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
4032 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
4033 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
4034 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
4036 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
4037 Update.
4039 * configure: Regenerate with self.
4041 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4043 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Notes on "cc"
4044 default output.
4046 2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
4048 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::load): Correctly test for "do" read
4049 failure.
4051 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4053 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
4054 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
4055 hand, which is not portable.
4056 (&error): New.
4057 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
4058 Use &error instead of die.
4059 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
4060 Adjust.
4062 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4064 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
4065 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
4066 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
4068 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4070 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
4071 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
4072 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
4073 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
4075 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
4077 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
4078 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
4079 * doc/autoconf.texi: Remove documentation of autom4te
4080 --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir options and document
4081 use of $AUTOM4TE_PATH.
4082 * lib/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
4083 arguments from each language section.
4085 2002-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4087 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
4089 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
4090 Replace with:
4091 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
4092 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
4093 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
4094 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
4096 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4098 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
4099 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
4100 `make -k'.
4102 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4104 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
4105 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.
4107 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4109 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE):
4110 Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002
4111 apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".".
4112 Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl.
4114 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4116 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention the special
4117 handling of the obj/ directory by BSD make.
4119 2002-07-20 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4121 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Add HP-UX IA-64 trailing
4122 backslashes.
4124 2002-07-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4133 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4135 Version 2.53b.
4137 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4139 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Update.
4141 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4143 Handle LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS once for all, including Libtool's and
4144 Automake's parts.
4146 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): New.
4147 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE): Call it.
4148 * tests/semantics.at (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Adjust.
4150 2002-07-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>,
4151 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4153 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Install
4154 _AC_AM_CONFIG_HEADER_HOOK for Automake 1.7.

4159 description of the tarname default.
4161 2002-07-17 Andreas Buening <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>
4163 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FORK): Don't set
4164 ac_cv_func_fork_works before running _AC_FUNC_FORK, do it if the
4165 latter was not run.
4167 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4169 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (find_file): Browse the directories in
4170 the order they are given.

4175 * tests/wrapper.as: this.
4176 * tests/Makefile.am, configure.ac: Adjust.
4178 2002-07-17 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>

4190 macro directory, remove note that include path directories are
4191 used in reverse order, and document --prepend-include option.
4192 * lib/autom4te.in: Use --prepend-include instead of --include.
4193 * tests/wrapsh.in: Use --prepend-include instead of --include.
4195 2002-07-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4197 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): `_' is allowed in

4231 2002-07-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4233 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
4234 bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
4235 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Add local variables
4236 so that Emacs setups GNU style for perl-mode and cperl-mode.
4238 2002-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4240 * config/install-sh: Quote $src. Prefer || to test's -o option,
4241 as per "Limitations of Builtins".
4242 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Likewise, for && vs test -a.
4243 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
4245 * tests/mktests.sh: Use grep instead of fgrep, as per
4246 "Limitations of Builtins".
4248 2002-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4250 * tests/wrapsh.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOM4TE, AUTOM4TE_CFG,
4251 autom4te_perllibdir): Set to top build dir or src dir as appropriate,
4252 so that we consistently test the just-built programs.
4253 * tests/wrappl.as: Likewise.
4255 2002-06-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4257 * bin/autoconf.as (AUTOM4TE): Default to a fully qualified path
4258 name, so that symlinks to 'autoconf' work properly. Bug reported
4259 by Bruno Haible.
4260 * bin/autoheader.in (AUTOM4TE): Likewise.
4261 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoconf, autoheader): Likewise.
4262 * bin/autoscan.in (autom4te): Likewise.
4263 * bin/autoupdate.in (autom4te): Likewise.
4265 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): Also check for
4266 btowc, to fix a portability bug with diffutils-2.8.2/lib/fnmatch.c
4267 on Solaris 2.5.1.
4269 2002-06-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4271 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add more dir entries.
4273 2002-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4275 * bin/autom4te.in ($cache): Don't define using `$me', the name
4276 of the cache should not depend on the name under which autom4te
4277 was installed.
4279 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4281 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
4282 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): Adjust to the change of
4283 words in autom4te.in.
4285 2002-06-07 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4287 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Use
4288 _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS.
4290 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4292 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNC_FNMATCH): Typo,
4293 rename as...

4296 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU.
4298 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4300 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Point to Tru64 docs, and the
4301 Rosetta Stone for Unix.
4303 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4305 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): When rejecting a token,
4306 suggest m4_pattern_allow.
4307 Suggested by Adam J. Richter.
4309 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4311 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Initialize
4312 ac_config_libobj_dir.
4313 (AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR): New.
4314 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Split into...
4315 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_IF, _AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): these.
4316 Use ac_config_libobj_dir to find the replacement files.
4317 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): Split into...
4318 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH)
4319 (AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH_GNU): these.
4320 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use ac_config_libobj_dir.
4321 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, Generic Functions): Adjust.
4322 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Don't check
4323 AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG as it requires getloadavg.c which is not shipped.
4325 2002-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4327 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Fall back on cp
4328 if ln doesn't work.
4329 * NEWS: Likewise.
4330 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Links): Likewise.
4331 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Prefer $(LN_S) to ln -s || ln.
4333 2002-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4335 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:
4336 Update from masters.
4338 2002-05-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4340 * bin/autom4te.in ($m4): Do not assume that egrep and fgrep exist.
4341 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
4342 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_LOG_STDERR, AC_EGREP_CPP):
4343 Likewise.
4344 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (check-local): Likewise.
4345 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Likewise.
4346 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (commentary only): Likewise.

4353 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP): New macros.
4354 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document them.
4355 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Warn that egrep and fgrep may not exist.
4356 * NEWS: Likewise.
4358 2002-05-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4360 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T): New macro.
4361 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Types): Document it.
4362 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Require it
4363 instead of AC_MBSTATE_T, which never existed.
4365 2002-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4367 * doc/autoconf.texi (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): Specify the
4368 version of Autoconf that is discussed.
4370 2002-05-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4372 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove cf77 and cft77
4373 from the default list of compilers to try. Suggested by
4374 Kate Hedstrom.
4375 * NEWS: Document the above.
4376 * doc/autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler): Don't suggest cf77.
4378 2002-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4380 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Work correctly even if
4381 the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff.
4382 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
4384 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4386 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
4387 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
4388 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
4389 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
4391 * NEWS: Document this.
4392 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
4394 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
4395 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
4396 not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
4397 reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior.
4398 Add new optional argument DIR.
4399 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro.
4401 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro.
4403 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4405 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
4406 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
4407 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
4408 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
4410 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
4411 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
4412 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
4413 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
4414 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
4415 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
4417 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
4418 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
4419 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
4420 textutils.
4421 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
4422 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
4423 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by
4424 Paul D. Smith.
4426 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4428 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
4429 autopoint instead of gettextize.
4430 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
4431 ($uses_aclocal): this.
4432 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
4433 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
4435 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4437 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_map_sep): New.
4439 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4441 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
4442 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
4443 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
4444 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
4446 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
4448 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
4449 under node "Limitations of Builtins".
4451 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4453 * doc/install.texi: Better wording for setting variables when
4454 running configure.
4455 From Christian Cornelssen.
4457 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4459 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
4460 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
4461 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
4462 course.
4463 Be sure to protect it.
4464 Reported by Patrick Welche.
4466 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4468 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
4469 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
4471 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4473 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
4474 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
4475 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
4476 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
4478 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4480 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.
4481 Thanks to Paul Eggert.
4483 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4485 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
4486 and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
4487 AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
4488 DEFAULT diversion.
4489 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
4490 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
4491 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the
4492 _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in
4493 _AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS.
4494 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
4496 2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4498 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after autoconf and
4499 autoheader, so that automake does not complain about a missing
4500 config.h.in that was to be created.
4502 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4504 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.
4505 Fixes PR/220.
4507 2002-04-22 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4509 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Remove gmon.out
4510 and bb.out when cleaning up.

4518 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Fix the Zsh skip pattern.
4520 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4522 * doc/autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Remove a spurious
4523 comma.
4524 Reported by Gregory Giannoni.
4526 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4528 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Skip the test if LINENO cannot be unset.
4529 Fixes false failures on Darwin.
4531 2002-04-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

4535 lib/autoconf/status.m4, lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, tests/m4sh.at,

4538 2002-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4540 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Fix typos in yesterday's

4554 Minor spelling and grammar fixes.
4556 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
4557 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
4558 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
4559 all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate
4560 the manual now.
4562 Fix some bugs when using "$@" when there might be zero positional
4563 arguments in cases where this matters.

4583 * tests/c.at: We can't have zero arguments, so remove workaround
4584 that is not portable to Zsh.
4586 2002-04-19 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4588 * bin/autoupdate.in (handle_autoconf_macros): Honor AU_DEFUNs
4589 from aclocal.m4 too.
4591 2002-04-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4593 * tests/wrappl.as: New, M4sh precursor of wrappl.in.
4595 2002-04-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4597 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Install the Zsh
4598 workaround for ${1+"$@"}.
4599 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Explain it.
4600 From Oliver Kiddle and Peter Stephenson.
4602 Have M4sh perform minimal shell sanitizing.
4604 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.at (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Split the `_AS_PREPARE_*'
4605 part into...
4606 (_AS_PREPARE): this new macro.
4607 (AS_PREPARE): New.
4608 (AS_INIT): Invoke AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
4609 * tests/m4sh.at (AT_DATA_LINENO): Use _AS_PREPARE.
4611 Adjust Autoconf and Autotest.
4613 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't invoke
4614 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_INIT did it, but invoke AS_PREPARE.
4615 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
4616 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
4617 Invoke _AS_PREPARE (not AS_PREPARE) in addition to
4618 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
4620 Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
4622 * tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
4623 * tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies
4624 on Autotest and M4sh.
4625 ($(TESTSUITE)): Use $(autotest_m4f_dependencies).
4626 (wrapsh.in): New target.
4627 * bin/autoconf.as: New, precursor of autoconf.in.
4628 (autoconf.in): New target.
4630 2002-04-09 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>

4635 2002-04-09 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4637 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Handle empty
4638 ac_top_builddir when setting ac_abs_top_builddir.
4640 2002-04-06 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4642 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Add link to Unix V7 online docs.
4643 (Portable Shell): Cross reference to Systemology.
4645 2002-04-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4647 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Be sure to accumulate the

4660 Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
4661 Extracted from...
4662 (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
4663 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
4664 Adjust.
4665 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
4666 results in failures being hidden.
4667 Use m4_defn where appropriate.
4668 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
4669 after the second argument.
4670 Use m4_defn.
4671 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
4672 syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.
4673 * tests/torture.at (Multiple AC_CONFIG_FILES): New.
4675 2002-04-03 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

4681 aclocal.

4692 2002-04-02 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4694 Integrate AC_PROG_CC_STDC into AC_PROG_CC.

4719 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.

4733 * tests/m4sh.at: Don't rely on "PATH=test:$PATH test-1" working
4734 as POSIX requires, as it doesn't work with Zsh.
4735 * doc/autoconf.texi (Assignments): Document the problem.
4737 2002-03-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4739 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
4740 about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
4741 SHELL.
4743 2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4745 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
4746 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
4748 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
4749 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
4750 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.

4775 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
4777 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
4778 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
4779 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
4780 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
4781 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
4782 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
4784 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
4785 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
4786 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
4787 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
4788 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
4790 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4792 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
4793 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
4794 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
4795 says 'times: not found'.
4797 2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4799 * bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
4800 (&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.

4813 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4815 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about `cp

4819 2002-03-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4821 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): AS_REQUIRE, not
4822 m4_require.
4824 2002-03-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4826 * configure.ac: Explicitly check for EMACS since AM_PATH_LISPDIR
4827 does not do it if --with-lispdir is given.
4829 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4831 Version 2.53.
4833 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4842 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4844 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
4845 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
4846 affect the latter.
4848 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4850 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
4851 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
4853 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4855 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,

4881 parallel builds.
4883 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4885 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
4886 and host is irrelevant.
4887 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
4888 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
4889 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
4890 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
4891 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
4892 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
4894 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4896 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
4897 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
4898 useless.
4899 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
4900 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
4901 evaluation is the current item.
4902 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
4904 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4906 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
4907 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
4909 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
4910 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
4911 the last...
4912 (m4_lquote): New.
4913 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
4914 efficient.
4915 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
4916 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
4917 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
4918 (m4_cdr): New.
4919 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
4920 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
4921 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.
4923 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4949 2002-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4951 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): Fix the test.
4952 From Akinori Musha.
4954 2002-02-13 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4956 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (getline, getlines): New functions,
4957 translate \r\n to \n.

4970 2002-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4972 Fix Autoconf PR/207:
4973 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
4975 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
4976 variable when looking for the prefix program.
4977 Now it also works for shell variables.

4982 case/esac.
4984 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4986 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Don't output empty
4987 case/esac, some shells don't support it.
4988 Reported by Zack Weinberg.
4989 * tests/torture.at (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS with empty commands): New.
4991 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4993 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): When handling --keywords, be
4994 sure not to introduce newlines in at_groups.
4995 * lib/autotest/Makefile.am (autotest.m4f): Typo.
4997 2002-02-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4999 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Skip if aclocal
5000 is not available.
5002 2002-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5004 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specific Compiler Characteristics):
5005 Describe HP-UX cc bug workaround more accurately.
5006 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast to long,
5007 not unsigned long.
5008 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Check non-GCC
5009 cross-compilers, too. This undoes some of the most recent change
5010 to this file.
5012 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5014 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,
5015 to make sure they are up to date when `check' is run.
5017 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5019 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Document
5020 package.m4.
5022 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5024 * lib/freeze.mk: New.
5026 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5028 Implement `autom4te --freeze'.
5030 * bin/autom4te.in (&freeze): New.
5031 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4, lib/autotest/general.m4,
5032 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Don't include files given by autom4te.
5034 2002-02-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5036 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Implement `frozen files are
5037 optional are the sum of the previous files on the command line'.
5038 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...
5039 (handle_m4): don't.
5040 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest, Autoconf): Rely on M4sh.
5041 (M4sh): Rely on M4sugar.
5042 (Autotest, M4sh, M4sugar): Use frozen files.
5044 2002-01-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5046 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Accept $4.
5047 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Adjust.
5049 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5051 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Map non
5052 alphanumeric to `-' instead of `_'.
5054 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5056 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Split into two tests: one
5057 for plain code, the other for cross-compilation code. The latter
5058 is now run with GCC only.
5059 * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors): New.
5061 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5063 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Support pre-defined
5064 values.
5065 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Explain how to
5066 change AC_INIT default values.
5068 2002-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5070 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use configure.in,
5071 so that aclocal 1.4 works.
5072 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz and Larry Schmitt.
5074 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5076 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
5077 needs an argument.
5079 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5081 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
5082 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
5083 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
5084 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
5085 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
5086 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
5087 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
5088 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
5089 useless.
5090 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.
5092 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5094 Version 2.52g.

5103 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.
5104 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Don't expect $SHELL to be
5105 Bourne. Use /bin/sh.
5106 From Andreas Buening.
5108 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5110 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:

5120 Automake.

5128 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5132 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5134 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Use a more GNUish error
5135 message on invalid options.
5136 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't use
5137 Autoconf::General::getopt with non valid options.
5139 2002-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
5141 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Initialize
5142 $ac_cv_exeext so we don't use an old, invalid, cached value.
5144 2002-01-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5146 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRNLEN): New, from Jim
5147 Meyering.

5155 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
5156 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
5157 configure.
5158 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
5159 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
5160 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
5162 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5164 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the AC_SUBST
5165 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
5166 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
5167 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
5168 arguments.
5169 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
5170 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
5171 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
5172 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
5173 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.
5175 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5179 2002-01-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5181 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Improved wording regarding use of
5182 AC_OUTPUT.

5188 sometimes needing writable input.

5194 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5196 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
5197 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
5198 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
5199 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
5201 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
5203 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.
5205 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5207 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
5209 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>

5213 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.

5237 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
5238 Remove $filepath, useless.
5239 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
5240 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
5241 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
5242 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
5243 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
5244 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
5245 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
5247 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5249 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
5250 Remove, replaced by...
5251 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
5252 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
5253 * configure.ac: Adjust.
5254 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
5256 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5259 Use it.

5289 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
5290 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
5291 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.

5295 * doc/autoconf.texi, TODO, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
5296 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/headers.m4,
5297 tests/atgeneral.m4, tests/tools.at, tests/atspecific.m4: Fix
5298 spelling errors.
5300 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5302 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
5303 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
5305 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5307 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
5308 spotted by Jim Meyering.
5310 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5312 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
5314 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
5315 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
5316 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
5317 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
5318 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
5319 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
5320 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
5321 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
5322 * NEWS: Likewise.
5324 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5326 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
5327 hand.
5328 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
5330 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5332 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
5333 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
5335 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5337 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
5338 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
5339 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
5340 option.
5341 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
5342 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
5343 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
5344 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
5345 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
5346 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
5348 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5350 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
5351 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
5352 configure.ac.
5353 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
5355 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5357 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
5358 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
5359 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
5360 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
5361 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
5362 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
5364 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5366 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
5367 in PATH.
5368 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
5369 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
5370 suite.
5371 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
5373 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5375 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
5376 in place.
5378 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5380 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
5381 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
5383 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
5384 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
5385 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
5386 (AT_INIT): Adjust.
5387 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
5388 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
5390 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5392 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
5393 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
5394 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
5396 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
5397 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
5398 are new variables.
5399 Create the directories.
5400 Use absolute paths for at- files.
5401 (AT_CHECK): Adjust.
5403 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
5405 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
5406 (m4_car2): New.
5407 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
5409 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5411 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
5412 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
5414 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5416 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
5417 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
5418 __PROTOTYPES too.
5420 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5422 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
5424 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5426 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
5427 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
5428 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
5429 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
5430 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
5431 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
5433 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5435 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
5436 From Jim Meyering.
5438 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5440 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
5441 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
5442 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
5443 `missing' itself contains variables.
5445 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5447 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
5448 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
5449 the test suites.
5451 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5453 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
5454 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
5455 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
5456 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
5457 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
5459 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5461 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
5462 processed only if present.
5463 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
5464 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
5465 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
5466 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
5468 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
5470 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
5471 doesn't accept .S files.
5473 2001-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5475 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_pattern_forbid): Accepts $2.
5476 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INTI): Forbid LIBOBJS.
5477 (_AC_LIBOBJ): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/.
5478 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): New.
5479 (handle_output): Use it.
5480 Read m4_pattern_forbid with messages.
5482 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5484 * bin/autom4te.in (--normalize): Remove.
5485 * lib/autom4te.in: Adjust.
5487 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5489 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Rename this target as...
5490 ($(TESTSUITE)): this.
5491 From Nicolas Joly.
5493 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5495 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
5496 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
5498 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5500 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Update.
5501 (Writing testsuite.at): Update.
5503 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5505 * doc/autoconf.texi: s/@code/@command/ where appropriate.
5507 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5509 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: (&catfile, &canonfile)
5510 (&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
5511 File::Spec.
5512 Use and export them.
5513 (&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
5514 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
5515 the arguments.
5516 Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
5517 (&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
5518 Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
5519 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
5521 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5523 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
5524 (@export_forward_subs): New.
5525 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
5526 (@EXPORT): Adjust.
5527 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
5528 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
5529 used.
5530 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
5531 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
5533 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5535 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
5536 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
5537 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
5538 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
5540 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5542 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
5544 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5546 Version 2.52f.
5548 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5550 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
5551 * config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
5552 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
5554 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5556 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
5557 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
5558 From Ezra Peisach.
5559 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
5561 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5563 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
5564 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
5565 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
5566 than character ranges.
5568 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
5569 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
5570 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
5571 behavior.
5572 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
5574 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5576 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
5577 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
5579 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
5580 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
5581 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
5582 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
5583 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
5584 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
5585 output and chmod failures.
5587 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
5588 the above.
5590 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5592 * tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
5593 handles it now.
5595 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5597 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
5598 AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
5599 provided, while it is optional.
5600 * configure.ac: Adjust.
5602 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5604 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
5605 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
5606 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
5607 with 5.005_02.
5609 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
5610 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
5612 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
5613 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
5614 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
5616 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5618 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.
5620 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5622 * m4/: Remove, merged into...
5623 * config/: here.
5625 2001-10-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5627 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the problems with bash
5628 2.05's use of ANSI quoting in its `set' builtin.
5630 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5632 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
5633 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
5634 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
5635 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
5636 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
5637 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
5639 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
5640 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
5641 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
5643 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
5645 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5647 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of
5648 the executable was missing from the log.
5650 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5652 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): If destination is
5653 unchanged, remove the source.
5654 (&up_to_date_p): Don't be verbose, be debug.
5655 * bin/autoreconf.in: No longer support --m4dir.
5656 (&autoreconf): Display the full path of the configure.ac we are
5657 studying.
5658 Trace it only once.
5659 Be sure to honor --force with gettextize.
5660 Always run aclocal.
5661 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
5663 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5665 * bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
5666 Remove, dead.
5667 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
5668 `intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
5669 (&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
5670 options.
5671 ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
5672 (@include): New.
5673 (&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
5675 2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <petersen@redhat.com>
5677 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.

5680 2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5682 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Name the generated
5683 file in @configure_input@.
5684 Don't mention `automatically' in addition to `generated'.

5687 2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5689 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: In a
5690 comment, explain how to install automatic mode selection.
5691 From Russ Allbery.
5693 2001-10-19 Ezra Peisach <epeisach@zif.mit.edu>
5695 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Display the path to the
5696 configure.ac being studied.
5698 2001-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5700 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast sizeof to unsigned
5701 long, to work around a bug in the HP C compiler version HP92453-01
5702 B.11.11.23709.GP.
5704 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works.
5705 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.
5706 (AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics.
5707 (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
5708 and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
5709 AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
5710 (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
5711 contains white space.
5712 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
5713 Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
5714 * tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
5715 Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows
5716 either behavior.
5718 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5720 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Recognize
5721 `a_out.exe' for OpenVMS 7.1, DEC C 5.5 compiler, via GNV.
5722 From Eric Sharkey.
5724 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5726 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): m4_defun, not
5727 m4_define, since...
5728 (_AS_ECHO_N): AS_REQUIREs it.
5730 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5732 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS)
5733 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): Move to...
5734 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4: here.
5735 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: Comment changes.
5736 * doc/autoconf.texi: Specify where the default includes are used
5737 in the macro prototypes.

5742 transition code.
5744 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5747 (&parse_args): Pass verbosity/debugging options to subtools when
5748 --debug, not when --verbose.

5750 (Autoconf): Use it.
5752 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5754 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run libtoolize when appropriate.
5756 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5758 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
5759 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run gettextize when appropriate.
5761 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5763 * tests/tools.at (AT_CHECK_PERL_SYNTAX): Check autoreconf.
5764 (Syntax of the shell scripts): Don't.
5765 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in: Don't

5769 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5771 * bin/autoreconf.in: Rewrite in Perl.
5772 * configure.ac: Adjust.
5773 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): New.
5774 * bin/autom4te.in (&up_to_date_p): Use it.
5775 Rename as...

5855 shell does not support LINENO, and if CONFIG_SHELL is unset or
5856 empty, and if we can find a shell that does support LINENO,
5857 then set CONFIG_SHELL to that shell and then re-execute

5862 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Don't invoke $(TESTSUITE) if it

5905 compatibility with POSIX shells.

5934 Don't use nested parenthesization. This patch was originally

5944 Check for `expr' arithmetic overflow, and for compilation failure,
5945 and invoke a new argument $4 if either is discovered.

5947 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Pass IF-FAILS arg to _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE.

5980 (AC_PROG_CPP requires AC_PROG_CC): here and...
5981 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.
5982 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
5983 AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.
5984 (Test Programs): AC_TRY_RUN works as used to be advertised.
5986 2001-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5988 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix bugs spotted by
5989 Raja R Harinath:
5990 Be sure to detect when $LINENO always returns the same value.
5991 Look for the original script, basename($0) is certainly not
5992 enough.
5993 Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.
5995 2001-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5997 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Dump the whole config.log.

6005 of --language now.
6007 2001-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6009 * doc/autoconf.texi (Top): Wrap in @ifnottex.
6011 2001-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6013 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Compute and provide
6014 ac_buildpath, ac_top_buildpath, ac_srcpath, and ac_top_srcpath.

6023 variables.
6025 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Do not reset AT_victims.
6026 Don't compute at_srcdir nor at_top_srcdir.
6028 * tests/tools.at: Hence use top_srcdir.
6030 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader,
6031 * tests/autom4te, tests/autoreconf, tests/autoupdate, tests/ifnames:
6032 Remove.

6043 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): Rename as...
6044 (Programming in M4sh): this.

6074 2001-09-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6076 * m4/auxdir.m4, m4/cond.m4, m4/depend.m4, m4/init.m4,

6095 `$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
6096 (_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke

6100 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: Replace all the occurrences of
6101 `__oline__' with `$LINENO'.

6109 it works.
6111 2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6113 * Makefile.maint (AUTOM4TE): Neutralize autom4te.
6114 Suggested by Jim Meyering.

6131 PATH_SEPARATOR.
6132 (Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.

6138 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

6141 arguments. Fixed a typo.
6143 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6145 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not ':' to set up

6159 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (open): Simplified the error message (we
6160 already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
6161 CR issues on DOSish systems).
6163 2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6165 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
6166 From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
6168 2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6170 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
6171 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
6172 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
6173 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
6175 * lib/autoconf/c.m4:
6176 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
6178 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
6179 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
6180 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
6182 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
6183 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
6184 to getpgrp.
6186 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
6187 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
6188 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
6189 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
6190 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
6192 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6194 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.
6196 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6205 correctly.
6206 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
6207 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
6208 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
6209 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
6210 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
6211 one line out...
6212 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
6213 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
6215 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6217 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
6218 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.

6222 No longer to be shipped.
6223 (version.in): Remove.

6226 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
6227 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
6228 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
6229 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
6230 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
6231 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
6232 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.
6234 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6236 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Preselect AM_CONDITIONAL,
6237 AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.
6238 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't abort when a tested
6239 program version string doesn't match the package's.

6245 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):

6251 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
6252 Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
6253 the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
6254 fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.

6257 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6259 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
6260 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
6261 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
6262 when they don't exist.
6264 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
6265 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
6266 need it.
6268 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
6269 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
6270 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
6271 we don't need it.
6273 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
6275 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6283 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Reset `AT_victims' so that

6315 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
6316 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple

6321 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.

6373 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't pass

6376 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_SHELL_PATH_WALK): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.

6389 2001-09-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6391 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): `< /dev/null' so that GNU M4 1.5
6392 doesn't neutralize SIGINT, making autoconf etc. non interruptible.
6393 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Move the package
6394 related variables into `at_package_*'.

6404 Move toward possibly stand-alone test suites.
6406 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Stop displaying srcdir everywhere as,
6407 in addition, it introduces useless differences in logs.

6409 Adjust PATH computation.
6410 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_UNAME): More readable display of PATH.

6421 From Uwe Seimet.
6423 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6425 * bin/autom4te.in: --language is -l, not -s.
6427 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6429 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
6430 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
6432 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
6433 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
6435 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
6436 the wrong one.
6438 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to
6439 4m.
6441 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6443 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: New lib file.

6459 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoscan Invocation): Adjust.
6461 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6465 * bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros):
6466 New, extracted from main.
6467 Use IO::File wherever possible.
6468 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
6469 Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
6470 Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
6471 `unm4.m4'.
6473 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6475 Version 2.52d.

6498 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6500 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
6501 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
6502 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
6504 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6506 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
6507 inverse order.
6509 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6511 * bin/autoupdate.in (@include): `installcheck' revealed the path
6512 to m4sugar was lacking!
6514 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6516 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass
6517 autom4te_perllibdir.
6519 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6521 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to
6522 debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to
6523 run is stupid.
6525 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6527 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from `@include'.
6528 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
6529 Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.

6545 need for autoconf.
6546 Promote --include over --macrodir and other obsolete options.
6548 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6552 * bin/autom4te.in ($autoconf): Pass --force.
6553 `print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
6554 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
6555 (autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
6556 the time stamps.
6557 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
6559 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6561 * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.

6570 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
6571 Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
6572 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
6573 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
6574 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
6576 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6578 * bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.
6579 * tests/autoheader: Adjust.
6581 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6583 * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
6584 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
6585 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
6586 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
6587 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
6588 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
6589 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.

6591 * tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
6593 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6596 * bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
6597 optionally `FILE'.
6598 Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
6599 (&parse_args): Adjust.
6600 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
6602 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6604 * configure.ac: Also find tested executables in bin.
6605 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
6606 * bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
6607 installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
6608 Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
6609 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
6610 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
6611 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
6612 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
6613 find the executables for it.
6614 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
6615 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
6616 We only need PERL.
6617 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
6618 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
6619 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
6620 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
6621 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
6622 * tests/autoscan: New.
6623 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
6624 refer to library files: rely on --language.
6626 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6628 * bin/autom4te.in, lib/autom4te.in, bin/autoconf.in:

6637 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6639 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): s/@__@/@&t@/.
6640 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
6642 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6644 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
6645 download in a tmp dir.
6647 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6649 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
6650 case insensitive OSes out there :(

6668 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use
6669 foo=`(command) 2>/dev/null`
6670 not
6671 foo=`command` 2>/dev/null
6672 (at-devnull): Rename as...
6673 (AT-devnull): this.
6674 (--clean): Remove AT-* files too.
6675 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document `date'.
6676 Reported by Nicolas Joly.

6710 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Log the command line.
6711 Support `VAR=VAL' as arguments.
6712 Compute PATH _after_ the options processing, so that AUTOTEST_PATH

7180 * tests/mktests.sh: Update year in copyright notice.
7182 2001-08-12 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7184 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
7186 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7188 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
7189 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
7190 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
7191 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
7193 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7195 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
7196 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
7197 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
7199 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7201 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
7202 effects.
7203 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
7205 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
7207 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
7208 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
7210 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
7212 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
7213 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
7215 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7217 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
7219 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7221 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
7222 removed.
7223 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
7224 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
7225 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
7226 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
7227 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
7229 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7231 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
7232 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
7233 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
7235 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
7236 Dump information on the first run of each test.
7237 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
7238 test group.
7240 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7242 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
7243 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
7244 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
7245 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
7247 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
7248 does not like `' instead of [].
7249 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
7250 And don't output such tokens.
7251 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
7252 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
7253 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
7254 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
7255 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
7256 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
7258 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7260 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
7262 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7264 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
7266 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7268 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
7269 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
7270 AC_TRY_LINK.
7271 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
7272 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
7273 (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
7275 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7277 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
7278 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
7279 files.
7281 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
7282 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
7283 (@Request::source): Rename as...
7284 (@Request::input): this.
7285 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
7286 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
7287 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
7288 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
7289 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
7291 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7293 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
7294 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
7296 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
7297 (Request::id): this.
7298 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
7299 (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
7300 (&handle_output): Adjust.
7301 (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
7302 (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
7303 Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
7305 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7307 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
7308 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
7309 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
7310 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
7312 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7314 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
7315 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
7316 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
7318 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
7319 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
7320 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
7321 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
7322 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
7323 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
7324 (&mtime): New, export it.
7325 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
7326 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
7327 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
7329 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7331 Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
7332 must be proposed to the users.
7334 * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
7335 (@preselect): New.
7336 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
7337 (&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
7338 * bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
7340 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7342 * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
7343 macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
7344 lines arguments.
7346 2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7348 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without
7349 arguments.
7351 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7353 * bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
7354 From Nicolas Joly.
7356 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7358 Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.
7360 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins
7361 trace requests.
7362 (@m4_builtins): Rename as...
7363 (@m4_builtin): this.
7364 (%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New.
7365 (&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names.
7366 (&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here.
7367 (&trace_requests): Remove, unused.
7369 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7371 * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit,
7372 m4_if, and m4_wrap.
7374 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7376 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): Also forbid `_m4_*' tokens.
7377 (m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
7378 mismatch happens.
7379 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
7380 occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
7381 Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
7382 the appear in the output.
7383 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
7384 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
7385 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
7386 autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
7387 Check that `dnl' is caught.
7389 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7391 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52c.
7393 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

7403 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

7406 `die'.
7407 (&END): New.
7408 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Remove your
7409 `END', as `Autom4te::General::END' will be triggered.

7411 * bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of

7558 (END): Don't try to remove the content of an empty dir.
7559 (&parse_args): Default is `$f:$l:$n:$%', not `$f:$l:$n:$*'.

7605 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
7607 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN): Define _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS.

7626 The runtime test for AC_FUNC_GETPGRP fails when prototypes are
7627 used. Well, then use the prototypes when you can, and runtime as
7628 a last resort.
7629 Reported by Artur Frysiak
