17 2005-02-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
19 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_escape): Escape ?, ^, \, $ too;
20 this fixes a bug tickled by the AT_CAPTURE_FILE change noted below.
22 Try not to generated lines of unlimited length, as POSIX places a
23 2047-byte limit on line length of portable text files.
24 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE):
25 Use newline as a separator, not space.

38 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention _,
39 BIN_SH, DUALCASE. Say that variables other than "status" are safe
40 if they contain a lower-case letter. The DUALCASE problem was
41 reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
43 * bin/autoconf.as: Don't exit with status 0 after write failure
44 with --help or --version.
45 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): Likewise.
46 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Likewise.

56 2005-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
58 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Go back to the simple solution, but take

60 Modified from a suggestion by Stepan Kasal.
62 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Mention autopoint,
63 with a cross reference. Derived from a suggestion by Bruce Korb.

81 2005-01-29 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
83 Simplify the implementation of m4_require (a.k.a. AC_REQUIRE).
84 Update the long comment explaining it.
86 m4_require no longer writes an ``is required by'' line to the
87 execution stack. It contains only one bit of non-redundant
88 information: that the macro was required, not called. And even
89 this bit is useless in most situations: have you ever met a macro
90 which both calls and requires the same macro?
92 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_defun_pro): Don't push a diversion...
93 (_m4_defun_pro_outer): ... only via this macro, for the outermost
94 macro.
95 (_m4_defun_epi, _m4_defun_epi_outer): Complementarily.
96 (m4_expansion_stack_pop): Remove the misplaced comment.
97 (m4_require): Don't put the ``is required by'' line to the
98 execution stack; slightly improve the out-of-a-defun error message.
99 (_m4_divert_grow): New macro, counter for the temporary diversions.
100 (_m4_require_call): Use it.
101 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_require): Expect output without the
102 ``is required by'' messages.
104 2005-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
106 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Recommend X
107 rather than x for expr.
109 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT): Avoid subshells when
110 this is safe.
111 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP): Likewise.
112 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Likewise.
113 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Likewise.
114 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Likewise.

125 support.
126 * bin/autoheader.in: Pass $force to update_file so that
127 config.h.in is always recreated when --force.

138 2005-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
140 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Fix typo in case statement.
141 Warn about newline stripping in `` and $(). Update Solaris
142 version to 9.
143 (Limitations of Builtins): Use expr "X...", not expr "x...", as
144 X insulates us from future changes to Posix.
145 (Limitations of Usual Tools): For AS_DIRNAME, warn about newline
146 stripping.
148 2005-01-19 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

170 2005-01-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
172 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Define datarootdir,
173 docdir, htmldir, dvidir, pdfdir, psdir, and localdir. Update
174 datadir, infodir, and mandir. Adjust argument parsing code.
175 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Update help text.
176 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Document
177 new variables.
179 2005-01-04 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

194 (_m4_divert_n_stack): New macro; the expansion is
195 <newline>m4_divert_stack, if m4_divert_stack is defined, and void
196 otherwise.
197 (m4_divert, m4_divert_push, m4_divert_pop, m4_init): Use it.
198 (m4_divert_push, m4_divert_pop, _m4_defun_epi): Don't expand the word
199 stored in _m4_divert_diversion or _m4_divert_dump.
200 (m4_divert_pop): When the parameter is given, compare the symbolic
201 name with the last diversion pushed on the stack. Previously, the
202 current diversion was compared with the numeric value of the
203 diversion given as the parameter.
204 (m4_require): If the macro hasn't been expanded yet, call ...
205 (_m4_require_call): this new macro.
207 2005-01-03 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

484 2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
486 * lib/mdate-sh: Don't use "set - x`$ls_command /`", as zsh mishandles
487 the spaces inside $ls_command. Problem reported by Loulou Pouchet in
488 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-12/msg00074.html>.
489 Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
491 2004-12-07 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
493 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Fix typo in previous
494 patch: extra "-l"s.
496 2004-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
498 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Check libc before

500 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Mention new behavior.
502 2004-12-03 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
504 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DEFINE, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Factor
505 out the common code to ...
506 (_AC_DEFINE_Q): ... a new macro; simplify the condition about the
507 value of the #define--default to 1, iff the macro was called
508 with exactly one parameter.
510 2004-12-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
512 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Use
513 "char c = '\200';" rather than "char c = 0x80;" as the
514 latter doesn't conform to the strict C standard due to
515 overflow on signed char hosts.
517 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Prefer -qlanglvl=extc89
518 to -qlanglvl=ansi. We don't want to disable extensions.
520 2004-11-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
522 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): @code{$PATH} -> @env{PATH}.
523 (Using Autotest, testsuite Scripts, Writing testsuite.at):
524 Reword slightly to avoid some English-language problems noted
525 by Ralf Wildenhues in:

538 Automake (not without Autoconf).
539 (Introduction): Mention lists.gnu.org.
540 * BUGS: Don't mention bugs.gnu.org.
541 Remove mention of ancient libtool compatibility problem.
542 * NEWS: Mention that bugs.gnu.org is kaput.
543 * README: Likewise. Mention where mailing list archives can be found.
545 2004-11-28 Stepan Kasal <address@ucw.cz>
547 * HACKING: Refer to "coreutils", not "File, Shell or Text utils".

566 in my editing of the previous patch. Problem reported
567 by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
569 2004-11-22 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
571 * doc/autoconf.texi (Autoconf Language): Explain that
572 ``descriptions'' may not be double quotes.
573 (Quotation Rule Of Thumb): Likewise.
574 (Pretty Help Strings): Likewise; remove the wrong comment;
575 simplify the examples and improve their quoting.
577 2004-11-13 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
579 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't check
580 the $1_found variable, don't test whether the file is executable;
581 Both things are checked ...
582 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK): ... here; AS_EXECUTABLE_P replaces
583 the former ``test -f''.
584 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_TEST_PREPARE): Fix a typo.
586 2004-11-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

589 use cp -R instead.
591 2004-11-10 Derek R. Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
593 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note `cp -r'
594 limitations. Reorder paragraphs for clarity.
596 2004-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
598 * doc/autoconf.texi: Standardize spelling of "Posix" (as opposed
599 to "POSIX" or "@acronym{POSIX}"), and similarly for "DOS
600 variants", "Unix", and some related minor wording fixups.
602 (Shellology, Special Shell Variables): Document that the Zsh
603 problem with NULLCMD was fixed in zsh 3.1.6-dev-18. Thanks
604 to Alexandre Duret-Lutz for this info.
606 2004-10-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
608 * doc/autoconf.texi (One-Shot Macros): New node.
610 2004-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
612 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Fix misdescription
613 of putenv. Problem reported by Michael Wardle.
615 2004-09-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
617 * doc/autoconf.texi (auindex): New macro.
618 (AU_DEFUN): Use it to fix the bug when the index contained AC_AU_DEFUN.
619 Problem reported by Stepan Kasal.
621 2004-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
623 Fix problems reported by Andreas Buening in:
624 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-04/msg00004.html
625 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Set SHELL=/bin/sh
626 in test makefile.
627 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't assume /dev/null is
628 readable; it's not true in OS/2-emx.
630 2004-09-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
632 * lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_XMKMF): If xmkmf returns
633 "/usr/include", clear ac_x_includes instead of leaving it as "no"
634 (trivial change). Problem and patch reported by Andrew Church in:
635 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-04/msg00016.html
637 2004-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
639 * doc/autoconf.texi: Give AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED
640 three args in examples. Problem reported by Frederik Fouvry in:
641 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-09/msg00017.html
642 Also, fix some minor spacing and punctuation bugs.
644 2004-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

647 "case" to restore ordering.
648 Reported by Stepan Kasal.
650 2004-08-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
652 * doc/autoconf.texi: Minor typos and stylos.
654 2004-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
656 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 2.59c.
658 2004-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
660 Version 2.59b.
662 * README: Add advice about m4 1.4.2.
664 * Makefile.cfg (wget_files): Remove config.guess, config.sub,
665 texinfo.tex for now (done by hand now).
666 * Makefile.maint (wget_files, cvs_files):
667 Remove ansi2knr.c; nobody uses it.
668 (ansi2knr.c-url_prefix): Remove.
669 (cvs-update): Fix test for failure. I don't know why it ever
670 worked...
672 * doc/autoconf.texi: Update URLs, some of which went stale.
673 Use @uref rather than @href.
675 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Have configure
676 handle "--" as per POSIX. Suggested by Paul Pogonyshev.
678 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp,
679 config/install-sh, config/mkinstalldirs, config/texinfo.tex,
680 doc/fdl.texi, doc/standards.texi: Sync with master copy.
682 * NEWS, TODO, configure.ac, bin/autoscan.in,
683 bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in, doc/autoconf.texi,
684 doc/install.texi, lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm,

688 lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, tests/local.at, tests/m4sh.at,
689 tests/tools.at, tests/torture.at:
690 Use "file name" rather than "filename" or "path",
691 to be consistent with the terminology of the GNU coding standards.
693 2004-08-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
695 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C),
696 AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Undo 2004-06-04 change, as it didn't work with
697 HP-UX 11.23 cc/aCC or Tru64 4.0 cc. Problem reported by Noah Misch in
698 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-07/msg00004.html>.
700 More fixes to support spaces in the name of the build directory.
701 This isn't a complete fix but it's an improvement.
703 * bin/autoconf.as (autom4te_options): New var.
704 Use it instead of appending to AUTOM4TE, so that we can allow
705 spaces in the build directory's absolute name.
706 * bin/autoheader.in ($autoconf): Allow spaces in file names.
707 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP, _AT_CHECK,
708 AT_CHECK_NOESCAPE): Likewise.
709 * tests/wrapper.as (testdir, AUTOM4TE_CFG, autom4te_perllibdir,
710 main program): Likewise.
712 2004-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
714 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Quote $ac_popdir uses.

718 2004-08-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
720 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Document isinf and
721 and isnan. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
723 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (END): Return correct exit status even
724 if unlink succeeds and sets $?. Needed with Solaris 8's perl 5.00503.
726 2004-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
728 * tests/torture.at (Deep Package): Use configure.in, not configure.ac,
729 for compatibility with Automake 1.4. Reported by J C Fitzgerald in
730 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-08/msg00051.html>.
732 2004-08-04 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
734 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE): New empty macro.
735 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Call it to require config.sub and config.guess.
736 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Likewise for install-sh.
737 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input): Document AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE.
738 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
739 AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE. Automake 1.10 will trace it.
741 2004-08-02 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
743 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
744 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD and AC_CANONICAL_TARGET. Automake 1.9.1 will
745 trace them.
747 2004-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
749 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Set BIN_SH, for
750 Tru64.
751 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention BIN_SH.
752 Document problem with "`""`" in pdksh POSIX mode.
754 2004-07-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
756 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Use "set -o posix"
757 with pdksh, too. Problem reported by Patrick Welche via
758 Gary V. Vaughan.
759 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Note that set -o posix is
760 useful for pkdsh, too.
762 2004-06-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
764 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Require
765 _AS_UNSET_PREPARE, so that we can use $as_unset directly.
766 Don't fail if ENV or BASH_ENV is readonly.
767 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Don't fail if ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, LC_ALL,
768 etc. are read only. Problem reported by Ludovic Courtes.
770 2004-06-23 Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu>
772 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): If the shell is
773 zsh, disable GLOB_SUBST to avoid backslash handling problems.
774 (trivial change)
776 2004-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
778 * doc/autoconf.texi (File System Conventions): Warn about
779 names like "aux". Problem reported by Eric Blake.
781 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY (C)): Use division
782 by zero instead of array size, so that we can use any arithmetic
783 constant expression (instead of requiring an integer constant
784 expression). This allows us to test expressions like DBL_MAX <
785 LDBL_MAX, which didn't conform to the C standard using the old
786 method.
787 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Put back in the tests for LDBL_MAX and LDBL_EPSILON,
788 now that we can do floating-point tests at compile time.
790 2004-06-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
792 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Don't check LDBL_MAX
793 and LDBL_EPSILON, as the resulting expression isn't an
794 integer constant expression and violates the C standard.
795 Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. Also, check
796 for "L" suffix, and check that long double doesn't have
797 worse range or precision than double, that mixed-mode
798 arithmetic doesn't generate a diagnostic, that double
799 constants fit in long double.
801 2004-06-03 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
803 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add notes on free(NULL),
804 malloc(0) and realloc(NULL,size).
806 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Spelling error reported by
807 Bob Proulx.
809 2004-05-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
811 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (HAVE_STDBOOL_H): Detect _Bool bug
812 in HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]. Problem reported
813 by Jim Meyering.
815 2004-05-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
817 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Mention that ! COMMAND
818 can be rewritten using if-then-else. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
820 2004-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
822 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Fix typo.
823 Problem reported by Stepan Kasal.
825 2004-05-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
827 * tests/Makefile.am (autoconfdir): Fix to match comment (trivial
828 change). Patch reported by Ralf Wildenhues in
829 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-05/msg00092.html>.
831 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): Don't assume that a
832 function F exists if the compiler and linker let you compile an
833 expression like (F != 0). Recent versions of GCC optimize away
834 the reference to F in that case, since every function address must
835 be nonzero, so the link succeeds even if F does not exist.
836 Problem reported by Manu in
837 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-05/msg00060.html>.
839 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Standardize on the spelling of
840 "Unix". Many uses changed.
841 (Limitations of Builtins): Explain better why the ! command isn't
842 portable.
844 2004-05-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
846 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect
847 LT_SUPPORTED_TAG in lieu of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS.
849 2004-05-19 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
851 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Add strerror_r, cross
852 referencing AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R.
854 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): In AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID,
855 note pessimistic assumption when cross compiling.
857 2004-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
859 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Note that BSD make
860 (until 2004) invoked subcommands with sh -e, contra POSIX.
861 Reported by Kevin Ryde.
863 2004-05-10 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
865 * programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Fixed bug where PATH argument handed to
866 _AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK contained leading whitespace (i.e.
867 " $PATH:/usr/xpg4/bin"). This resulted in bogus tests, such as
868 `test -f " /usr/bin/grep"', which _always_ failed.
869 (AC_PROG_SED): Ditto bogus PATH fix.
870 * autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_GREP): Properly document that this macro
871 requires that grep correctly supports _multiple_ `-e' options, rather
872 than stating only that grep should accept `-e'.
874 2004-05-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
876 Port to C99, which requires that 'exit' be declared.
878 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT
879 to ensure that stdlib.h is included.
880 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP,
881 AC_FUNC_STRTOD, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_FORK, _AC_FUNC_FORK,
882 _AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3): Likewise.
883 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Likewise.
884 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS): Likewise.
885 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Include <stdlib.h>
886 when using 'exit' in a test; C99 requires that 'exit' be declared.
888 2004-05-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
890 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_GREP
891 now prefers 'grep' implementations that accept -e.
892 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Describe problems of traditional
893 egrep and fgrep with long input lines, and of traditional grep
894 with -e.
895 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_GREP): Check for -e, too.
896 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Assume 3rd arg is properly quoted for the shell.
897 All callers changed. Append /usr/xpg4/bin to the PATH, for
898 Solaris.
899 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Discard stderr, so we don't bother
900 the user with complaints about multiple -e options.
901 * tests/local.at (AC_STATE_SAVE): Use $GREP, not grep.
902 Define it with AC_PROG_GREP.
903 * configure.ac (AC_PROG_GREP): Add.
904 * lib/freeze.mk (GREP): New macro.
906 2004-05-02 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
908 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Consult $SHELL as
909 a possible candidate only after all others fail, rather than
910 consulting it first. This improves backward compatibility by
911 better reflecting the way shell selection occurred in previous
912 versions of Autoconf, and should help to avoid triggering latent
913 problems in other packages, such as the one in Automake where zsh
914 is not handled robustly:
915 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2004-04/msg00095.html
916 Although it is not Autoconf's responsibility to work around
917 problems in Automake, it nevertheless makes sense to avoid
918 introducing unnecessary incompatibilites.
920 2004-04-22 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>,
921 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
923 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Don't guess
924 how deeply nested we are when a suitable tool is found, set the
925 ac_path_TOOL_found flag.
926 (_AC_PATH_PROG_FEATURE_CHECK): Encapsulate knowledge of how deeply
927 nested we are in this macro. Break out of all 3 nested loops if
928 ac_path_TOOL_found is set.
930 2004-04-21 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
932 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Break out
933 of the _AS_PATH_WALK loop too if GNU flavor is found.
935 2004-04-21 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
937 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Update documentation
938 for `$<'. New entry `Long lines', based on a report from Simon
939 Josefsson. Augment the documentation for SHELL = @SHELL@ with a
940 paragraph about DJGPP, based on a mail from Richard Dawe.
942 2004-04-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
944 * tests/c.at (C keywords): Don't assume that GCC supports
945 "restrict" and "inline", as sufficiently-old GCC versions do not
946 (also, GCC configured to be in pedantic C89 mode does not).
947 Problem reported by Sumit Pandya in:
948 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-04/msg00092.html
950 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_G, _AC_PROG_CXX_G): Don't
951 consider -g to work if it generates warnings when plain compiles
952 don't. Problem reported by Braden McDaniel in:
953 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00014.html
955 * doc/autoconf.texi (Slashes): New section, to document a problem

964 2004-04-20 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
966 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): Make the
967 best tool so far counter rely on the tool path variable name to
968 avoid checks for one tool being affected by the results of running
969 the length check on a previous tool.
971 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_GREP): Take an additional
972 match expression argument, as different greps have different
973 regular expression flavours.
974 (AC_PROG_FGREP): Pass 'FGREP'. fgrep treats all match chars as
975 literals.
976 (AC_PROG_EGREP): Pass 'EGREP$'.

987 Types, Specific Compiler Characteristics, System Services,
988 Obsolete Macros): Use 'long int', 'short int', 'unsigned int'
989 etc. consistently instead of 'long', 'short', 'unsigned' etc.
990 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C), AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.

1002 2004-03-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1004 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Structures): AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE
1005 now defines HAVE_DECL_TZNAME if it is declared, when
1006 HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE is not defined.
1007 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Implement this.
1008 Do not assume atoi. Rely on HAVE_DECL_TZNAME when testing
1009 for HAVE_TZNAME.

1025 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): fix for
1026 quoted -cmdline argument in Portland Group compiler (bug
1027 reported by Jeffrey J. Barteet).

1057 new macros.
1058 * NEWS: Document these changes.
1060 * doc/autoconf.texi: Avoid macros with unbraced arguments,
1061 they make TeX hang up.

1066 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Compiler Characteristics): Document it.
1067 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Use long int rather than

1089 2004-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1091 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools) <mkdir>: `mkdir -p'
1092 is not always thread-safe. Report from Nathanael Nerode.
1094 2004-02-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1096 Fix a dependencies problem, stemming from a Autoconf 2.59 build
1097 problem on QNX reported by Stephen Rasku in
1098 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-02/msg00066.html>.
1100 * bin/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/autoconf.in): Depend on
1101 $(m4sh_m4f_dependencies); this removes a FIXME.
1102 * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/wrapper.in): Likewise.
1103 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Split into pieces,
1104 one per related section. Add $(srcdir)/wrapper.in.
1106 2004-02-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

1109 AC_SUBST provides no portable way to escape literal newlines.
1111 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Ignore all
1112 flags of the form -lcrt*.o, not just -lcrt[01].o and -lcrtbegin.o.
1113 Darwin uses -lcrt2.o and there's little point to cataloging all
1114 the system variants. Partial fix reported by Andreas Waechter in:
1115 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-02/msg00006.html
1116 for bug reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe in:

1131 the behavior of the third argument.
1132 * lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFUN): Describe more
1133 correctly the behavior of the third argument. Document

1139 Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
1140 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1142 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (M4SH-SANITIZE): New diversion.

1146 (_AS_SHELL_FN_SPY): New macro.
1147 (AS_DETECT_REQUIRED, AS_DETECT_SUGGESTED): New
1148 macros.

1154 (AS_REQUIRE_SHELL_FN): Require shell functions when
1155 it is used.
1156 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Put around braces, we do not
1157 trigger the bash bug anymore.
1158 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Document M4SH-SANITIZE, do not
1159 use AS_INIT_WITH_SHELL_FN.
1160 * bin/autoconf.in, tests/wrapper.in: Regenerated.
1162 2004-01-30 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>

1168 (AU_DEFUN): Honor the third parameter, create autoupdate
1169 macros with AU_DEFINE.

1190 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): Add 1992 thorugh
1191 2003 (except 1997) to the list of copyright years. This undoes
1192 the 2003-05-22 change, which removed the older years from the list.
1193 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Update copyright date to 2004.
1195 2004-01-27 Gary V. Vaugan <gary@gnu.org>

1207 (_AC_FEATURE_CHECK_LENGTH): New helper macro for finding the
1208 longest input length accepted by a command.
1209 (AC_PROG_SED): Use it.
1210 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document the changes.
1211 * NEWS: Updated.
1213 2004-01-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

1235 sources.
1237 2004-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1239 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Include <stdint.h> even if
1240 HAVE_INTTYPES_H is defined. This is needed on Tru64 5.1b with
1241 Compac C V6.5-207 (dtk), which defines uintmax_t in <stdint.h> but
1242 not <inttypes.h>. Problem reported by Tim Mooney in
1243 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-01/msg00147.html>.
1244 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS):
1245 Likewise.
1247 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Use diff, not sed;
1248 otherwise "make check" fails because it forbids cmp (I guess
1249 because cmp treats files as binary on DOS-like systems).
1251 * tests/mktests.sh: Update copyright date to 2004, since some tests
1252 have changed in 2004.
1254 2004-01-23 Gary V. Vaugan <gary@gnu.org>

1260 * NEWS: Updated.
1262 2004-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1264 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Try -std, not -std1, since
1265 -std1 disables some useful extensions on Tru64. Problem reported
1266 by N. Lichtmaier in
1267 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00100.html>.
1269 2004-01-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1271 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Document that
1272 AS_MKDIR_P succeeds if the destination is a symbolic link
1273 to an existing directory.
1274 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note that mkdir -p might not
1275 succeed on symlinks to directories.
1277 2004-01-13 Paul Hilfinger <hilfinger@CS.Berkeley.EDU>
1279 * lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFUN): Grammar fix in comment.
1280 * bin/autoheader.in: Grammar fix in message.

1289 2004-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1291 * doc/autoconf.texi (Running the Preprocessor): Correct grammar.
1293 2004-01-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1295 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fix bug: AC_CHECK_SIZEOF evokes a warning
1296 with `autoconf -Wall,error'. Bug reported by Eric Blake in:
1297 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2004-01/msg00000.html
1298 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Invoke _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not
1299 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, since we now assume our caller invokes
1300 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE, for symmetry with _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
1301 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN): Likewise, for _AC_RUN_IFELSE instead
1302 of AC_RUN_IFELSE; this avoids the warning mentioned above.
1303 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
1305 2004-01-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1307 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE): Avoid \$ inside
1308 `"'...'"`, as it's confusing (and I suspect it may not work on
1309 some platforms). The code was incorrect anyway, as it assumed
1310 that \$ evaluated to itself in that context. Reported by
1311 Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
1313 2004-01-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1315 * lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Preselect AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS
1316 and _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG.

1320 * doc/autoconf.texi (One Macro Call): Fix an incorrect
1321 example, and add more examples. Reported by Eric Sunshine.
1323 2004-01-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1325 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
1326 Remove warning against "rm -fr" introduced yesterday; it
1327 was a false alarm.
1329 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoreconf,
1330 autoscan, autoupdate, ifnames): Don't use chmod -w.
1331 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Likewise.
1332 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Warn against
1333 "chmod -w".

1336 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
1338 * libc/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Speed up sed scripts
1339 by doing lineno substitution only on lines containing "$LINENO".
1341 2004-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1343 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM):
1344 Use "rm -f" to remove conftest.sed, not plain "rm".
1345 Bug reported by David Relson in
1346 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-01/msg00011.html>.
1348 * Makefile.am (autom4te-update):
1349 Replace "rm -rf" and "rm -fr" with "rm -f -r", as POSIX requires.
1350 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck, do-po-update): Likewise.
1351 * doc/autoconf.texi (Guidelines): Likewise.

1359 srcdir): Likewise.
1360 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
1361 Warn against "rm -fr".
1363 2004-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1365 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Mention that cc
1366 -c -o might not work. From a suggestion by Kevin Ryde.
1367 (C Compiler, Generating Sources, Limitations
1368 of Usual Tools, Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
1369 Don't put '-o' after non-options, as POSIX doesn't allow this.
1370 Mention that cc's name might be gcc or c89 or whatever.
1372 2004-01-04 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1374 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add various further index entries.
1376 2003-12-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1378 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory):
1379 Fix typo: mkdir without umask arg.
1381 2003-12-27 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
1383 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <Automatic rule rewriting>:
1384 Documents OSF1/Tru64 make behavior. Replace `VPATH = ../src' by
1385 `VPATH = ../pkg/src' in examples to make the OSF1/Tru64 make
1386 explanation clearer.
1388 2003-12-24 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

1437 * config/announce-gen (&print_locations, &print_signatures)
1438 (&sizes): New.
1439 Use them.
1440 No longer rely on Gnus to inline the list of signatures: compute
1441 them on the fly.
1443 2003-11-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1445 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): AC_PROG_LEX can
1446 override some files.
1447 (Input): AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(aux) is a bad idea on DOS.
1448 From Debian Autoconf 2.58.

1649 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FORK): Trivial fix for vfork
1650 cross test.
1652 2003-10-11 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1654 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Use the new official

1667 Problems reported by Eric Sunshine.
1669 2003-10-08 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
1671 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_V_OUTPUT): Omit quoted
1672 -mGLOB_options_string stuff for Intel ifc, which can cause

1696 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC_G): Use language-specific
1697 cache variable instead of $G77 to decide whether to include -O2,
1698 since $G77 is specific to Fortran 77.

1702 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Support Absoft "-f

1707 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_FC): Reverse the order of the
1708 arguments so that it can be used with syntax identical to
1709 AC_PROG_F77, and so that we can more easily decide to
1710 remove/deprecate the DIALECT optional argument in the future if it
1711 proves troublesome.
1712 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Exit 77 upon failure to fix test suite for
1713 non-freeform-supporting compilers. Document freeform flags.
1715 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1717 * configure.ac: Look for emacs, not macs.

1720 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1727 2003-10-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1729 * configure.ac: Quotation and formatting changes.

1764 have been created when invoking the compiler.

1778 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): Change "rm -fr ./-p" to the more-conservative
1779 "test -d ./-p && rmdir ./-p". Suggested by Andreas Schwab in:
1780 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-09/msg00039.html
1782 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1784 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Make sure the
1785 directory for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS' first argument exists.
1786 This makes valid the invocation of _AC_SRCPATH that follows.
1787 Reported by Eric Sunshine.
1788 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Adjust.
1790 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1792 * bin/autoscan.in (Autom4te::FileUtils): Use it for find_file.
1793 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.

1797 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Don't overquote the
1798 arguments.

1809 2003-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1811 The test suite are sometimes assigning timings incorrectly.
1812 Reported by Henk Krus.
1813 Diagnosed by Nicolas Joly.
1815 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as
1816 AT_help_all.
1817 Instead of making AT_help a sequence of assignments to grow
1818 $at_help_all, just make AT_help_all be the growing contents of
1819 $at_help_all, and make a single assignment in...
1820 (AT_INIT): here.
1821 (at_times_skip): Flip the meaning and rename as...
1822 (at_times_p): this.
1823 (AT_INIT): When summarizing the test that ran, remove
1824 $at_times_file after use, and check it is present before trying to
1825 use it.

1833 (ifnames): chmod -w.
1834 * tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
1835 executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
1836 to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
1837 of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
1838 as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
1839 to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.
1840 * tests/mktests.sh: Force the replacement of generated files, for
1841 the sake of "mv" program that are interactive when overwriting a
1842 -w file.

1853 Trivial change to support GCC's configuration procedure.
1854 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR): New macro.
1855 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Don't warn
1856 about inconsistency if the preprocessor is set to give errors for
1857 any warning.

1916 2003-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1918 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_FC_FREEFORM): Try -ffree-form too,

1938 Add support for newer Fortran dialects. The F77 interface is
1939 unchanged, and continues to support Fortran 77. New FC macros
1940 correspond to all the old F77 macros, with output variables FC,
1941 FCFLAGS, and FCLIBS. AC_PROG_FC defaults to picking the newest
1942 available dialect, but older dialects can be specified. There are
1943 new macros AC_FC_SRCEXT to set the source extension, and
1944 AC_FC_FREEFORM to accept free-form source files.
1946 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_LANG_PREFIX(C), _AC_LANG_PREFIX(C++)):
1947 New macros.

1974 Document problems with timestamp resolution that 'make', 'cp -p', and
1975 'touch -r' have.
1977 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1979 * tests/m4sugar.at (cross_warning): Make sure to enable the
1980 output, so that we can track spurious m4sugar output.

1982 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't m4_default the arguments that
1983 are defaulted by AT_CHECK anyway.
1984 Use AT_CHECK_AUTOM4TE.
1985 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: There should be no output at all: add a
1986 missing dnl.
1988 2003-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1990 * bin/autoheader.in: Issue the "Using auxiliary..." message only

2054 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&file_name_is_absolute): Remove.
2055 (&verbose): Remove.
2056 (&getopt): Adjust the note and verb channels, depending upon

2059 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust.
2060 Use &verb, not &verbose.
2062 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2064 * bin/autoheader.in (&parse_args): Use &parse_warnings and

2068 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: Don't export error: you don't own it.
2070 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2072 First stab at preserving warnings between calls to autom4te,
2073 including when the cache is used.
2075 There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4
2076 (one for include, one for warnings, and some more), (ii) warnings
2077 spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the
2078 code meant to have the call stack display for errors does not work
2079 (its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).
2081 * bin/autom4te.in Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
2082 Use them.
2083 (@preselect): Add m4_warn.
2084 ($exit_status): Remove, use $exit_code.
2085 ($help): Use Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage.
2086 (&handle_m4): No longer define the m4_warnings.
2087 At each run, extract and report the warnings.
2088 Always cache the result, including if the exit status is on
2089 failure, since if nothing changes, we should result in the same
2090 failure, hence we can use the cache.
2091 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_warning_ifelse, _m4_warning_ifelse)
2092 (_m4_warning_error_ifelse, __m4_warning_error_ifelse, _m4_warn):
2093 Remove.
2094 (m4_warn): Redefine as a do-nothing: it is its invocation that
2095 matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
2096 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
2097 the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
2098 the latter reveals calls to the former.
2100 Adjust the tests.
2102 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4@&t@_warn): Use existing warning categories.
2104 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2106 * bin/autoreconf.pm (Autom4te::Channels, Autom4te::ChannelDefs):
2107 Use them.
2109 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2111 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (&find_file): Walk the @include in
2112 forward order.
2113 * lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Doc typos.
2114 (&parse_warnings): Accept a list of warning requests.
2115 (&usage): Return a string, not a side effect.
2116 (cross): New warning category.
2118 2003-08-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2120 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (&find_configure_ac)
2121 (&require_configure_ac): Accept an optional directory argument.
2122 ($configure_ac): Remove.
2123 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_configure_ac, &canonfile)
2124 (&catfile): Remove.
2125 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
2126 * bin/autoscan.in: Adjust.
2128 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2130 * bin/autoheader.in: Remove duplicate 'use Autom4te::FileUtils'.
2131 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
2133 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2135 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
2136 * bin/autom4te: Adjust.
2137 In particular, be Autoconf tools are really silent when properly
2138 working, bind the verbosity of the 'note' channel to $verbose.
2139 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &mtime, &update_file)
2140 (&xsystem, &contents): Remove, since they are exported by...
2141 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: this.
2142 More perldoc.
2143 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&up_to_date_p): Move to...
2144 * lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: here.
2146 2003-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2148 * lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm
2149 * lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm: New,

2202 DESCRIPTION rather than FILE and LINE. Shorten result to fit in new,
2203 shorter column three. Add DESCRIPTION to log file content.
2205 2003-08-13 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2207 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Correct typo in final status

2221 2003-07-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2223 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): Work around a bug
2224 in Bash 2.01. Problem reported by Brian Gough in
2225 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-07/msg00106.html>.

2236 Bob Friesenhahn.
2238 2003-07-06 Bill Clarke <llib@computer.org>
2240 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Cast pointer to
2241 'long', not 'int', for benefit of Sun's recent C++ compilers
2242 (trivial change). See:
2243 http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2003-07/msg00007.html
2244 (This really should be 'intptr_t', not 'long', but that would
2245 take more work.)
2247 2003-06-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2249 * lib/Makefile.am (autom4te.cfg): Make it read only.
2250 Depend on Makefile since it contains substitutions.

2263 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Report a single config.log,
2264 not all of them. This fixes 1. the fact that when testing
2265 Autoconf there are many many config.log, 2. the incorrect use of
2266 top_srcdir to find config.log.
2267 Don't mix the detailed output of failed test with the summary of
2268 failures. Rather, append detailed log afterwards.
2270 2003-06-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2272 * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Adjust to the verbose being

2365 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Prefer "TAB-SP" to "SP-TAB", because of
2366 Emacs' dangerous whitespace.el behavior (smashing "useless" spaces in
2367 the middle of a line).
2368 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
2369 Remove useless spaces in comments.
2371 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2373 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_version_prereq): Failure causes an
2374 exit 63, so that we (or Automake's "missing") can tell the
2375 difference with a plain failure.
2376 * doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): Adjust.
2378 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2380 * Makefile.am, bin/Makefile.am, config/Makefile.am,
2381 * doc/Makefile.am, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
2382 White spaces cleanup.
2384 2003-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2385 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2387 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION):
2388 Remove `#include <stdlib.h>' from the list; we should never
2389 make confdefs.h include <stdlib.h> or <cstdlib>, because the
2390 resulting namespace pollution would cause other tests to fail.
2391 Configure scripts run with some older versions of g++ and HP's
2392 aCC would fail due to such an #include. Problems reported by
2393 Matthew Mueller in <http://bugs.debian.org/120704> and by
2394 Keith Bostic in
2395 <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-05/msg00063.html>.
2396 In the test, use the test declaration before including <stdlib.h>,
2397 as that's closer to how it'll be used.
2399 2003-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2401 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Portability): ucred.h.
2402 From Ian Redfern.
2404 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
2406 Overhaul Autotest's logging: generate separate log files
2407 in testsuite.dir/NNN/testsuite.log, and append them to
2408 testsuite.log instead of re-running the test verbosely.
2410 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Use a single redirected
2411 file descriptor, write 0 to at_status_file instead of setting
2412 at_status=0, initialize some new variables (at_status_file,
2413 at_group_log, at_suite_log, at_tee_pipe). Remove the cruft
2414 to rerun the tests, instead append the at_group_log to the
2415 at_suite_log when a test fails.
2416 (AT_SETUP): pipe the test case's output into at_tee_pipe,
2417 with the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD redirected to stdout.
2418 (AT_CLEANUP): save the output status in $at_status_file
2419 and restore it, redirect the AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD back to
2420 its original place.
2421 (AT_CHECK): since tests are run with a redirected stdout,
2422 and used to be re-run in verbose mode, turn some $at_verbose
2423 into echo, and don't redirect the output of testing stdout
2424 and stderr.
2426 * lib/autotest/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Update
2427 the name of the debugging directory and information about
2428 its contents.
2430 2003-05-22 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
2432 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_REQUIRE): Actually use the 2nd
2433 parameter.
2435 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2437 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4, lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4

2455 Whitespace clean up.
2456 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
2458 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2460 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Restore smashed
2461 ' \t' as '\t ' so that Emacs' whitespace.el keep it.
2462 Reported by Jim Meyering.
2464 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2466 * doc/autoconf.texi: Replace AC_HELP_STRING AS_HELP_STRING.

2470 From Art Haas.
2472 2003-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2499 2003-05-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2501 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Use the default includes so that
2502 memcmp be declared before being tested.
2503 Reported by Sander Niemeijer.
2504 (AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_STRNLEN): Likewise.
2505 * doc/autoconf.texi (Default Includes): Document
2506 AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
2508 2003-05-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2514 2003-05-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2516 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): s/FOO/as_foo/ to avoid
2517 user name space clashes.
2518 Reported by Bruno Haible.
2520 2003-05-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2540 From Matthias Andree.
2542 2003-05-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

2545 and truncate.
2547 2003-05-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2549 Don't try to be smart with aclocal 1.8+ because (i) aclocal no
2550 longer updates aclocal.m4 if useless, (ii) if a file m4_included
2551 by aclocal.m4 is changed it might require the importing of another
2552 m4 extension file, i.e., aclocal must be run.
2554 * bin/autoreconf.in (&run_aclocal, $aclocal_supports_force): New.
2555 (&parse_args): Use --force with aclocal if required and supported.
2556 (&autoreconf_current_directory): Use &run_aclocal.

2562 * lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm ($me, &name, &lock, &truncate, &seek): New.
2563 * bin/autom4te.in (&Request::save, &Request::load): Use an IO::File
2564 argument instead of a file name, so that the request file remains
2565 open during the whole autom4te run.
2566 ($icache_file): New.
2567 (&freeze): Lock the $icache_file.
2569 2003-04-29 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2571 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_KEYWORDS): Don't use a comma as the
2572 seperator with m4_append_uniq(). It doesn't work.
2573 (AT_CLEANUP): Add `;' to end of at_help_all.
2574 (AT_INIT): Allow --keywords to be specified more than once. When
2575 grepping $at_help_all for keywords, use the field and keyword
2576 seperators to ensure a complete keyword match. Alter at_prev handling
2577 to support the new --keywords behavior.
2579 2003-04-27 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
2581 * doc/autoconf.texi: Make the dir entries in the autoconf manual
2582 align better with others. I also made some of the individual
2583 entries on one line, for brevity and to make it easier for me to
2584 sort my dir-example file in the Texinfo distribution :).
2586 2003-04-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2588 * NEWS: Mention the new macro.

2602 From Ilya Zakharevich.
2604 2003-04-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2606 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Some about sys/socket.h,
2607 net/if.h, stdlib.h.

2624 New.
2625 Use them.
2626 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Adjust.
2627 (TEXI2DVI): Make it --batch.
2629 2003-03-31 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2631 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Revert the checkin from 2003-03-27
2632 which removed the main loop.
2633 Thanks to Akim Demaille.
2635 2003-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2637 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Skip OS/2's install,
2638 that starts a GUI.
2639 From Ilya Zakharevich.
2641 2003-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2643 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): The

2645 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
2647 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2649 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): Suggest
2650 reading the section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" when the
2651 header causes problems.
2653 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2655 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Require aclocal
2656 1.4, otherwise the test fails, as it does support configure.ac.
2657 This fixes the "test 40 failed" bug reports.
2659 2003-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2661 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): `#line' portability.
2662 From Paul Eggert and Nelson H. F. Beebe.
2664 2003-03-27 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2666 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Eliminate main loop and reorganize test
2667 layout in order to allow scripting around test groups.
2669 2003-03-27 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2671 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (PARSE_ARGS,PARSE_ARGS_END,HELP,HELP_MODES,
2672 HELP_TUNING,HELP_OTHER,HELP_END,PREPARE_TESTS,TESTS_END): Define and
2673 use new diversions in preparation for accepting new arguments and

2683 * tests/m4sh.at (AS_HELP_STRING): New test.
2685 * tests/acgeneral.at: Regenerated.
2687 2003-03-26 Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com>
2689 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/DEFAULT/DEFAULTS/ since it makes more
2690 sense. Verbosify the diversion definitions comment.

2694 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Remove redundant call to

2726 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Remove the section
2727 about `$<' in inference rules, it was a bogus interpretation of
2728 an old Automake change. Discuss NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and
2729 Tru64 make in the "target lookup" section.
2730 (Automake): Automake 1.5+ no longer requires special tools to be
2731 present on the developer's host.

2749 ${ac_make}.
2751 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES):
2752 When constructing paths with IFS=:, quote the path. If we're
2753 constructing a DOS-style absolute path, we don't want to split it
2754 on the colon.

2771 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): test -n -> test -z,
2772 to fix a mismatch between example and discussion.
2774 2003-02-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2776 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Add notes on printf
2777 format starting with "-".
2779 2003-02-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2781 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): `foo=bar make -e'
2782 is not portable inside Makefile.
2784 2003-02-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2786 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL): When
2787 compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
2788 Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
2789 maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
2791 2003-02-20 Klee Dienes <kdienes@apple.com>
2793 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf_current_directory): Properly

2804 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Define $1 to an
2805 innocuous variant befor including <limits.h> or <assert.h>. This
2806 works around a bug reported by Albert Chin: HP-UX 11i
2807 (and earlier versions) have a <limits.h> that declares
2808 gettimeofday and many other functions.
2810 2002-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2812 Version 2.57.
2814 * NEWS, configure.ac: Update version.
2816 * doc/fdl.texi: Upgrade to FDL version 1.2.
2818 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Use the function f
2819 nontrivially in main's body, so that f's external declaration is
2820 not optimized away in AIX. This should fix the bug reported by
2821 Martin Frydl in
2822 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014508.html>.
2824 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C),
2825 _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE): Use <limits.h> if __STDC__ is
2826 defined, to support freestanding compilers. This should fix the
2827 bug reported by Momchil Velkov in
2828 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf/2002-November/014490.html>.
2830 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Fix typos (insert empty
2831 arg, AC_DEFINE -> AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED) in documentation for
2832 obsolete AC_CHECK_TYPE. The missing empty arg was reported
2833 by Simon Josefsson in
2834 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf-patches/2002-December/008830.html>.
2836 * Makefile.maint (www-gnu): New macro.
2837 (standards.texi-url_prefix, make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Use it, as
2838 the location has moved.
2840 2002-12-02 Martin Frydl <martin@systinet.com>
2842 * bin/autom4te.in (at_flatten): rewritten to avoid M4 problem when
2843 \(.*\) match is too long and there is something more to be checked.

2862 Update from masters.
2864 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2866 * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
2867 (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
2868 .c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
2869 reported by Tim Van Holder in:
2870 <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
2871 Look for N_ as well as for _. Try to avoid matching #define for
2872 N_ and _.
2873 From Paul Eggert.
2875 2002-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2877 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Compiling several files at once.

2885 2002-11-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
2887 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Initialize f=$1 rather
2888 than assigning in main, to avoid HP cc +O3 optimizing it away.
2890 2002-11-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
2892 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Add -q
2893 option. Process --recheck after parsing all options. Pass -q
2894 option to configure on --recheck.
2895 (AC_OUTPUT): Pass -q from configure to config.status.
2896 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Strip -q from

2898 * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Document
2899 config.status -q option.
2901 2002-11-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
2903 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Scan Makefile.am too. Ignore
2904 Makefile.in if Makefile.am exists.

2926 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
2928 2002-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2930 * lib/autoconf/autoheader.m4 (_AH_TEMPLATE_OLD, _AH_VERBATIM_OLD):
2931 Remove.
2932 We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
2933 avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
2934 AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
2935 [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not
2936 otherwise available.])
2937 We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with \. The
2938 old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
2939 did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
2940 was not compatible with Libtool.
2942 2002-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2944 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set the following variables,

2982 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2984 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET): Use and display
2985 `$(MAKE)' instead of '${MAKE}' to emphasize that we refer to the
2986 Make variable, not a shell variable.
2987 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
2989 2002-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2991 * bin/autom4te.in (load_configuration): Reject #args out of any
2992 language.

3008 Suggested by Tim van Holder.

3013 AC_FUNC_REALLOC check for compatibility with glibc, not POSIX.
3014 Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
3016 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3018 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Put also in words what the

3022 2002-10-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3330 longer required can still cause errors.
3331 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
3333 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Do not prepend `--reload-state'

3344 2002-10-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3346 * bin/autoconf.as: Kill dead options.
3347 * bin/autoupdate.in (&parse_args): Kill old options.
3348 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Remove dead options.
3349 Factor some code.
3350 (&autoreconf): Report the directories we enter *and leave*, so
3351 that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
3352 format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
3353 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
3354 if some file was changed instead of `print'.
3355 * bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.
3356 (&parse_args): Remove the dead options.
3357 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Adjust to the new
3358 autoheader's quiet mode.
3359 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Likewise.
3360 * tests/tools.at (autoupdate): Adjust.
3361 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
3363 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3365 No longer use CPP to check for the existing of headers: use CC to
3366 check for compilability.
3368 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL)
3369 (AC_CHECK_HEADER, _AC_CHECK_HEADER_OLD): Remove.
3370 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_NEW): Rename as...
3371 (AC_CHECK_HEADER): this.
3373 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Include the failed test
3374 numbers in the Subject suggestion.
3376 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3378 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST): Obsolete.
3379 Suggest using AC_CHECK_DECLS instead.
3381 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3383 * tests/torture.at (AC_ARG_VAR): Have configure report the value
3384 of `precious'.
3386 2002-10-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3388 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Use $$ in the
3389 file name to enable parallel executions.
3390 From Sam Varshavchik.
3392 2002-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3394 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run autopoint before the first
3395 aclocal invocation, as Gettext macros might not be visible to
3396 aclocal.
3397 Instead of blindly running autopoint, scan configure.ac (not the
3398 traces) for AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION uses, as autopoint does.
3399 Reported by Paul D. Smith.
3401 2002-10-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3403 Work around problems found when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is set.
3404 None of this seems to have anything to do with POSIX, really,
3405 but it's how Perl getopt works.
3406 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Configure GetOpt with
3407 "permute", too.
3408 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te):
3409 --warning -> --warnings.
3410 * lib/autom4te.in: --warning -> --warnings.
3412 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3414 * doc/autoconf.texi (autom4te.cache): New section.
3416 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3418 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoscan-preselections, Autoreconf-preselections)
3419 (Automake-preselections): Update.
3420 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: Comment changes.
3422 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3424 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre: Move all the remaining rules to...
3425 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/functions.m4,
3426 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
3427 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4, lib/autoconf/types.m4: here.
3429 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3431 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Be robust to
3432 users who use config.site to require for a cache: in this case,
3433 the two last configure runs, using two different sets of
3434 arguments, trigger a legitimate error.
3436 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3438 * tests/m4sh.at (Functions Support, Functions and return Support):
3439 New.
3441 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3443 * bin/Makefile.am (ETAGS_SH, ETAGS_PERL): Update: ifnames and
3444 autoheader are Perl programs.
3445 (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate, ifnames, autoscan)
3446 (autom4te): Specify that the sources are in the $srcdir.
3447 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
3449 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3451 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre (st_blksize, st_blocks, st_rdev)
3452 (tm_zone): Move their rules to...
3453 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: here, using AN_ macros.
3454 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.pre (AWK, BISON, INSTALL, LEX, LN, MAKE)
3455 (RANLIB, YACC, awk, bison, byacc, flex, gawk, install, lex, ln)
3456 (make, mawk, nawk, ranlib, yacc): Similarly, move to...
3457 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: here.
3458 * lib/freeze.mk (ETAGS_FOR_M4, ETAGS_FOR_M4SUGAR)
3459 (ETAGS_FOR_AUTOCONF): New.
3460 Use it.
3462 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3464 * lib/autoconf/autoscan.m4: New file.
3465 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4: Include it.
3466 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Use AN_FUNCTION for all the functions
3467 that were listed in the original autoscan.list.
3468 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Similarly with headers.
3469 * lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.
3470 (.m4.m4f): Don't pass --prepend-include, since that's done by
3471 tests/autom4te itself.
3472 * lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
3473 (autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
3474 (autoscan.pre): New file.
3476 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3478 * bin/autoscan.in (@kinds): Make them singular.
3479 Adjust all uses.
3480 (&init_tables): When --debug, report the list of rules to ease
3481 tracking changes in autoscan.list.
3482 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list (function): Strip comments, sort.
3484 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3486 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
3487 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
3488 * lib/autoscan/programs: Merge into...
3489 * lib/autoscan/autoscan.list: this.
3490 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
3492 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3494 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers,
3495 * lib/autoscan/identifiers, lib/autoscan/makevars,
3496 * lib/autoscan/programs: Make the `kind' explicit, i.e., each
3497 `functions' line is now prefixed with `function:'.
3498 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Adjust.
3500 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3502 From now on, autoscan files must always map a macro name to a
3503 word: there is no `default' macro for autoscan.
3505 * bin/autoscan.in (&init_tables): Reject entries with no macro at
3506 all.
3507 * lib/autoscan/functions, lib/autoscan/headers: Make the macro
3508 explicit.
3510 2002-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3512 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Remove.
3513 (&used): Keep only track of the words we might be interested in.
3514 (&output_kind): It is no longer needed to look for non active
3515 checks.
3517 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3519 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC): New, stolen from
3520 jm_FUNC_MBRTOWC, by Paul Eggert, from the Coreutils 4.5.1.
3521 * lib/autoscan/functions: Adjust.
3522 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Adjust.
3524 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3526 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about mv
3527 from /tmp.
3528 Thanks to Bill Moseley and Paul Eggert.
3529 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_TMPDIR): $2 is the directory into which
3530 the tmpdir must be created.
3531 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Have the tmp
3532 dir be in the build tree, instead of $TMPDIR.
3534 2002-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3536 * bin/autoscan.in: Improve the comments.
3537 (&parse_args): Drop obsolete undocumented options.
3538 (&output_kind): Output warnings.
3539 * lib/autoscan/functions: (dcgettext): Now trigger AM_GNU_GETTEXT.
3540 (getwd): Trigger a warning.
3542 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3544 * bin/autoreconf.in: Clarify that -s is meaningless without -i.
3545 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3546 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Likewise.
3548 2002-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3550 Single suffix rules and seperated dependencies are not portable.
3552 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Update.
3553 (Limitations of Make): Some about `Single Suffix Rules and
3554 Separated Dependencies'.
3555 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
3556 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Un-factor into several rules.
3558 2002-09-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3560 * BUGS (Interoperability bugs): New section. Mention libtool
3561 1.4.2, configure.ac, and AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR interoperability bug.
3563 2002-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3565 Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
3566 make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
3568 * bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
3569 (autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
3570 Move the body of the old .in rule here.
3572 2002-09-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3574 i960 compilers create `b.out' files by default.
3575 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3577 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Remove b.out files.
3578 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Adjust to b.out.
3580 2002-09-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3582 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Remove obsolete
3583 reference to `struct timezone' in the description of
3584 AC_HEADER_TIME.
3586 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3588 Version 2.54.
3590 * config/config.sub, config/config.guess: Update.
3591 * Makefile.maint: Update from bits of the Coreutils 4.5.1.
3592 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
3594 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3596 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Suggest
3597 reading config.log when the compiler is rejected.
3598 Suggested by Guido Draheim.
3600 2002-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3602 * bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
3603 (chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
3604 Reported by Vance Shipley.
3606 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3608 * bin/autoscan.in (&parse_args): Pass a reference to the lists, not
3609 the lists.
3611 2002-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3613 * doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
3614 prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
3615 difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.
3617 2002-09-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3619 * doc/autoconf.texi: Review grammar and punctuation.
3621 2002-09-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3623 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix minor formatting, spelling, and
3624 grammatical typos.
3625 (Defining Symbols): Explain that AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but
3626 AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case
3627 is obsolescent.
3629 2002-09-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3631 * doc/autoconf.texi (Questions): Rename as...
3632 (FAQ): this.
3633 (Defining Directories): New.
3635 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3637 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Update.
3638 Suggested by Nishio Futoshi.
3640 2002-09-09 Koji Arai <JCA02266@nifty.ne.jp>
3642 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Use `@@' where a
3643 plain `@' is wanted.
3645 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3647 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
3648 `duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
3649 `--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
3650 keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
3651 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
3652 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
3653 cases.
3655 2002-09-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3657 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
3658 looking for a replacement file.
3659 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
3660 directory is relative.
3661 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
3662 directory definition.
3663 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
3665 2002-09-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3667 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Clarify what
3668 precious variables are.
3669 Suggested by Pontus Skoeld.
3671 2002-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3673 * bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
3674 (ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
3675 configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
3676 and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
3677 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
3678 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
3680 2002-09-05 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3682 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): HP-UX trailing backslashes
3683 doesn't seem to be confined to ia64, just say "some versions".
3685 2002-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3687 * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am: Remove pdf targets, handled by
3688 Automake 1.6c.
3689 * Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): Remove.
3690 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove COPYING.
3692 2002-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3694 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): Remove obsolete
3695 example for AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE. Problem reported by Marcus
3696 Brinkmann.
3698 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3700 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.53d.
3701 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require 1.6c, i.e., CVS Automake
3702 as of today, on Automake's team suggestion.
3704 2002-09-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3706 Version 2.53c.
3708 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3710 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't honor AUTOM4TE_PATH and
3711 SITE_MACRO_DIR.
3712 * configure.ac: Disable SITE_MACRO_DIR.
3714 2002-09-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3716 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): Reflect renaming: s/am/ac/,
3717 i.e., change am_cv_sys_posix_termios to ac_cv_sys_posix_termios.
3718 Also, tweak grammar: s/make sure to/be sure to/.
3720 2002-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3722 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain why logical
3723 directory names are generally preferable to physical names.
3725 2002-09-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3727 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
3728 Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
3729 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
3730 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.
3732 2002-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3734 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_egrep, au_exclude_egrep): Use
3735 ordinary shell concatenation rather than echo+tr+sed command that
3736 runs afoul of a long-line-related sed bug in Solaris 8.
3738 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning -> --warnings.
3740 * bin/autoconf.as: Work even if "ls" outputs "FOO not found" to
3741 stdout, as traditional "ls" does.
3742 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT,
3743 _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Likewise.
3744 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add "ls".
3746 * bin/autoconf.as: Add --prepend-include option. This patch was
3747 applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
3748 but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
3750 * bin/autoconf.in, configure: Regenerate.
3752 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention
3753 ENV, MAIL, MAILPATH, PS1, PS2, PS4. Index PWD.
3755 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
3756 MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
3757 around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
3758 For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
3759 the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
3760 this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
3761 to shorten the output script.
3763 2002-08-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3765 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
3766 1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH. Give a simpler workaround
3767 for the CDPATH problem. Document PWD.
3768 (Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
3769 "ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
3770 to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
3771 example, since the old example is now out of date.
3773 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Reject FOO if "cd
3774 FOO" and "ls FOO" talk about different directories; this catches
3775 problems when POSIX 1003.1-2001 "cd" fails due to symlink
3776 spaghetti.
3778 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Use AS_UNSET instead
3779 of rolling our own unset.
3780 (_AS_PREPARE): $as_unset CDPATH instead of AS_UNSETting it, since
3781 in practice we needn't worry about CDPATH if unset doesn't work.
3783 * Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, bin/Makefile.in,
3784 config/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in,
3785 lib/Autom4te/Makefile.in, lib/autoconf/Makefile.in,
3786 lib/autoscan/Makefile.in, lib/autotest/Makefile.in,
3787 lib/emacs/Makefile.in, lib/m4sugar/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in,
3788 tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake 1.6.3.
3790 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkinstalldirs:
3791 Update.
3793 * configure: Regenerate with self.
3795 2002-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3797 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Notes on "cc"
3798 default output.
3800 2002-08-29 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
3802 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::load): Correctly test for "do" read
3803 failure.
3805 2002-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3807 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&xqx): New.
3808 (&xsystem): Use WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS instead of decoding $? by
3809 hand, which is not portable.
3810 (&error): New.
3811 * bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
3812 Use &error instead of die.
3813 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies):
3814 Adjust.
3816 2002-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3818 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove fc from the
3819 default list of compilers to try, since it was long ago superseded
3820 by the ksh fc builtin. Suggested by Steven G. Johnson.
3822 2002-07-31 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3824 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autom4te): End the option table,
3825 fixing a bug introduced by the previous patch.
3826 (Limitations of Make): Add a 'target lookup' subentry in the
3827 'VPATH' entry. Rewrite all `make' occurences as `@command{make}'.
3829 2002-07-29 Mark D. Roth <roth@feep.net>
3831 * bin/autom4te.in: Remove --include-envvar and --site-macro-subdir
3832 options and use $AUTOM4TE_PATH.

3841 * doc/install.texi: Include copyright symbol in copyright notice.
3843 * Makefile.am (MAKEINFO): Remove; it's a user-specified macro.
3844 Replace with:
3845 (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): New macro.
3846 * doc/Makefile.am (MAKEINFO, AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Likewise.
3847 * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Use the new macros.
3848 Use -o rather than --output, since "missing" does not grok --output.
3850 2002-07-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
3852 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Escaped newlines in
3853 comments do not always work. Never trust the exit status of
3854 `make -k'.
3856 2002-07-24 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
3858 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make, Making testsuite Scripts):
3859 Untabify, since tabs are not enjoyed by texi2dvi and makeinfo.
3861 2002-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3863 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE):
3864 Use PATH="/nonexistent;.", not PATH=".;.", as FreeBSD ksh2002
3865 apparently treats PATH="nonexistent" as if it contained ".".
3866 Bug reported by Stefan `Sec' Zehl.
3868 2002-07-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>

3988 bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
3989 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Add local variables
3990 so that Emacs setups GNU style for perl-mode and cperl-mode.
3992 2002-06-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
3994 * config/install-sh: Quote $src. Prefer || to test's -o option,
3995 as per "Limitations of Builtins".
3996 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_ENV): Likewise, for && vs test -a.
3997 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
3999 * tests/mktests.sh: Use grep instead of fgrep, as per
4000 "Limitations of Builtins".
4002 2002-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4004 * tests/wrapsh.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOM4TE, AUTOM4TE_CFG,

4006 so that we consistently test the just-built programs.
4007 * tests/wrappl.as: Likewise.

4015 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoconf, autoheader): Likewise.
4016 * bin/autoscan.in (autom4te): Likewise.
4017 * bin/autoupdate.in (autom4te): Likewise.
4019 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): Also check for
4020 btowc, to fix a portability bug with diffutils-2.8.2/lib/fnmatch.c
4021 on Solaris 2.5.1.
4023 2002-06-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4025 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add more dir entries.
4027 2002-06-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4029 * bin/autom4te.in ($cache): Don't define using `$me', the name
4030 of the cache should not depend on the name under which autom4te
4031 was installed.
4033 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4035 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)

4037 words in autom4te.in.
4039 2002-06-07 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4041 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Use
4042 _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS.
4044 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4046 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNC_FNMATCH): Typo,
4047 rename as...
4048 (AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH): this.

4050 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU.
4052 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4054 * doc/autoconf.texi (Systemology): Point to Tru64 docs, and the
4055 Rosetta Stone for Unix.
4057 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4059 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): When rejecting a token,
4060 suggest m4_pattern_allow.
4061 Suggested by Adam J. Richter.
4063 2002-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4065 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Initialize
4066 ac_config_libobj_dir.
4067 (AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR): New.
4068 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Split into...
4069 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_IF, _AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): these.
4070 Use ac_config_libobj_dir to find the replacement files.
4071 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): Split into...
4072 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH)

4075 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, Generic Functions): Adjust.
4076 * tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_list): Don't check

4079 2002-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4081 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Fall back on cp
4082 if ln doesn't work.
4083 * NEWS: Likewise.
4084 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Links): Likewise.
4085 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Prefer $(LN_S) to ln -s || ln.
4087 2002-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4089 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/texinfo.tex:
4090 Update from masters.

4115 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Types): Document it.

4119 2002-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4121 * doc/autoconf.texi (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): Specify the
4122 version of Autoconf that is discussed.
4124 2002-05-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4126 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove cf77 and cft77
4127 from the default list of compilers to try. Suggested by
4128 Kate Hedstrom.
4129 * NEWS: Document the above.
4130 * doc/autoconf.texi (Fortran 77 Compiler): Don't suggest cf77.
4132 2002-05-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4134 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): Work correctly even if
4135 the member is itself an aggregate. Bug reported by Sergey Poznyakoff.
4136 This improves on an earlier suggestion by H. Peter Anvin.
4138 2002-05-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4140 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility.
4141 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also tests for GNU extensions.
4142 Both macros now accept an optional source-dir arg.
4143 New macro AC_GNU_SOURCE to define _GNU_SOURCE.
4145 * NEWS: Document this.
4146 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions, UNIX Variants): Likewise.
4148 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
4149 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Use it. Test only for POSIX conformance,
4150 not for GNU extensions; this undoes part of the 2000-11-03 change,
4151 reverting to 2.13-compatible behavior.
4152 Add new optional argument DIR.
4153 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU): New macro.
4155 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_GNU_SOURCE): New macro.
4157 2002-05-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4159 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ):
4160 Don't require AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS. The test is unnecessary,
4161 and it causes a 'test' syntax error if it fails.
4162 Bug reported by Stephen Gildea.
4164 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED):
4165 If prototypes are supported, use them to check this at compile-time,
4166 instead of trying to check it at run-time. If we must do a run-time
4167 check, assume that setvbuf is standard when cross-compiling, as
4168 nonstandard setvbuf occurs only on ancient and unlikely hosts.
4169 Bug reported by Paul D. Smith.
4171 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add optional
4172 argument specifying location of getloadavg.c. This removes a
4173 FIXME. This idea was taken from Jim Meyering's implementation in
4174 textutils.
4175 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Document this.
4176 Also, mention HAVE_NLIST_H rather than NLIST_STRUCT, since
4177 that's what the code does; this fixes a bug reported by
4178 Paul D. Smith.
4180 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4182 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Rewrite to use Gettext's
4183 autopoint instead of gettextize.
4184 ($uses_alocal): Rename as...
4185 ($uses_aclocal): this.
4186 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Adjust.
4187 Suggested by Bruno Haible.
4189 2002-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4191 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_map_sep): New.
4193 2002-04-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4195 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't age aclocal.m4's input
4196 files to be 1 second older; just set them to be the same time.
4197 Also, sleep 1 second after the first aclocal, to work around
4198 problems with sub-second time stamps on the input files.
4200 2002-04-29 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@gnu.org>
4202 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention "set -e -x" lossage
4203 under node "Limitations of Builtins".
4205 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4207 * doc/install.texi: Better wording for setting variables when
4208 running configure.
4209 From Christian Cornelssen.
4211 2002-04-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4213 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): If testsuite itself is rewritten because
4214 of lack of $LINENO support, then the test will compare the $LINENO
4215 in testsuite vs. the lineno in the test file. This is wrong, of
4216 course.
4217 Be sure to protect it.
4218 Reported by Patrick Welche.
4220 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4222 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Typo.
4223 Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
4225 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4227 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Don't let aclocal.m4 be older
4228 than some of the input files, hence, on the second run of aclocal,
4229 if some of its input are younger, make them older.
4230 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
4232 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4234 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): sed and `!'.
4235 Thanks to Paul Eggert.
4237 2002-04-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4239 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Let ac_subst_files
4240 and ac_subst_vars be sh variables containing the list of
4241 AC_SUBST_FILES'ed and AC_SUBST'ed identifiers. Output them in the
4242 DEFAULT diversion.
4243 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use them to log them.
4244 (_AC_SUBST, _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Remove.
4245 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE): Instead of buliding the
4246 _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM, store the list of output files/variables in
4247 _AC_SUBST_FILES and _AC_SUBST_VARS.
4248 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
4250 2002-04-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4252 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Run automake after autoconf and
4253 autoheader, so that automake does not complain about a missing
4254 config.h.in that was to be created.
4256 2002-04-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4258 * bin/autoheader.in (parse_args): --warning takes an argument.
4259 Fixes PR/220.
4261 2002-04-22 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4263 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Remove gmon.out

4274 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4276 * doc/autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Remove a spurious
4277 comma.
4278 Reported by Gregory Giannoni.
4280 2002-04-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4282 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Skip the test if LINENO cannot be unset.
4283 Fixes false failures on Darwin.

4310 * doc/autoconf.texi: Follow the outline suggested in the GNU
4311 Sample Texts sections of the Texinfo 4.2 manual. Most
4312 importantly, this makes sure that the copyright notices appear in
4313 all output formats. You probably need Texinfo 4.2 to generate

4352 workaround for ${1+"$@"}.

4372 AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
4374 Use this M4sh to generate Autoconf's shell scripts.
4376 * tests/wrapsh.as: New, precursor of wrapsh.in.
4377 * tests/Makefile.am: Include lib/freeze.mk to get the dependencies

4403 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
4405 2002-04-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4407 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_PATH_WALK): Only simplify if path
4408 contains no literal separators.
4410 2002-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4412 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_FILE, _AC_CONFIG_HEADER)
4413 (_AC_CONFIG_COMMAND, _AC_CONFIG_LINK): New.
4414 Use dnl, not the KILL diversion.
4415 Extracted from...
4416 (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS)
4417 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): here.
4418 Adjust.
4419 Don't use the KILL diversion, as it kills spurious output, which
4420 results in failures being hidden.
4421 Use m4_defn where appropriate.
4422 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Kill the real bug: a spurious parenthesis
4423 after the second argument.
4424 Use m4_defn.
4425 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf, Autotest, M4sh): Don't pass --warning
4426 syntax, as it is provided by M4sugar.

4468 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Test with a typedef return value,
4469 to avoid versions of HP C which don't allow that.
4471 2002-03-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4473 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_BASENAME_PREPARE): New macro.
4474 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Invoke it.

4481 2002-03-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4487 * tests/m4sh.at: Don't rely on "PATH=test:$PATH test-1" working
4488 as POSIX requires, as it doesn't work with Zsh.
4489 * doc/autoconf.texi (Assignments): Document the problem.
4491 2002-03-25 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
4493 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make): Mention more issue
4494 about VPATH, overriding of macros in sub-makes, and handling of
4495 SHELL.
4497 2002-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4499 * doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents): Mention Solaris 8 dtksh
4500 problem with here-document buffer boundaries.
4502 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Unset ENV and BASH_ENV
4503 when reinvoking the shell, to work around problems with installers
4504 who put strange things like "cd" commands in their environments.
4506 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4508 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): s/unknow/unknown/.
4509 From Aaron Ucko.
4511 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4513 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_file): Specify the location in `&used'
4514 invocations.
4515 From Nicolas Joly.
4517 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4519 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust @code/@command, @xref/@ref usage.
4520 From Nishio Futoshi.
4522 2002-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4524 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_define_default, m4_fst, m4_map): New.

4528 * doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Add AS_MKDIR_P.
4529 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Add mkdir section.
4531 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_MKDIR_P_PREPARE): New macro.
4532 (AS_MKDIR_P): Require it. Use mkdir -p if available, falling
4533 back on AS_DIRNAME to compute prefixes otherwise; this is
4534 roughly what mkinstalldirs does. That way, we need not have
4535 our own filename disassembler. The old disassembler did not
4536 work with Solaris 8 dtksh, which is ksh Version M-12/28/93d.
4538 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT, AT_CLEANUP):
4539 Create at_test_all by a series of assignments,
4540 not by a single assignment of a long string. The latter causes ksh
4541 version 11/16/88g to silently misbehave on OpenServer 5.0.6a,
4542 presumably because of a buffer overrun.
4544 2002-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4546 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (at_times_skip):
4547 Renamed from at_times. Now a boolean.
4548 ksh93 Version M-12/28/93d doesn't like 'x=times; $x'; it
4549 says 'times: not found'.
4551 2002-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4553 * bin/autoreconf.in (&study_gettextize): New.
4554 (&autoreconf): Handle newest gettextize.
4555 Rerun aclocal if needed.
4556 Suggested by Andreas Schwab.
4558 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4567 2002-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4569 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about `cp
4570 -p'.
4571 From Bob Proulx.
4573 2002-03-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4575 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): AS_REQUIRE, not
4576 m4_require.
4578 2002-03-11 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4580 * configure.ac: Explicitly check for EMACS since AM_PATH_LISPDIR
4581 does not do it if --with-lispdir is given.
4583 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4585 Version 2.53.
4587 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4590 subdirectory should exist.
4592 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4594 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.6.
4596 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4598 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Do not foreach with `$_' as it
4599 aliases the actual variables, and modifications of the former
4600 affect the latter.
4602 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4604 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_m4): Protect us from corrupted file
4605 because of C-c: have m4 output in tmp files, then mv them.
4607 2002-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4609 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in,
4610 * bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in, bin/autoupdate.in,
4611 * bin/ifnames.in: Copyright update.

4617 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4619 * doc/autoconf.texi (Specifying Names): Clarification suggested by
4620 Kevin Ryde.
4622 2002-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4628 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_LIBOBJ vs. LIBOBJS): New.
4629 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_INIT): More informative error
4630 message for LIBOBJ.
4632 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4634 * lib/freeze.mk ($(build_libdir)/m4sugar/version.m4): New, for
4635 parallel builds.
4637 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4639 * doc/autoconf.texi (Transforming Names): Equality between target
4640 and host is irrelevant.
4641 (Specifying Names, Canonicalizing): Remove all references to the
4642 backward compatibility hooks. Rather, collect them all into...
4643 (Hosts and Cross-Compilation): this new section.
4644 * doc/install.texi (System Type): Ditto.
4645 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Explicitly state
4646 that `--host' implies cross-compilation.
4648 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4650 * doc/autoconf.texi (Evaluation Macros): New.
4651 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_lquote): Remove, it is totally
4652 useless.
4653 (_m4_foreach): Define the variant with immediate evaluation so
4654 that it contains exactly the items, not an expression which
4655 evaluation is the current item.
4656 (m4_re_string, m4_re_word): Don't over quote them.
4658 2002-03-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4660 Instead of having stacking `shift's evaluated at the end, let
4661 `foreach' loops immediately evaluate them.
4663 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote, m4_dquote): Use $@ rather than
4664 $*. This is the n-th time I change my mind, but hopefully this is
4665 the last...
4666 (m4_lquote): New.
4667 (m4_text_wrap): Use m4_foreach, which is finally correct _and_
4668 efficient.
4669 (m4_foreach_quoted, m4_car_quoted, _m4_foreach_quoted): Remove, as
4670 it was only a hack for m4_text_wrap.
4671 (m4_car2): Remove, replaced by...
4672 (m4_cdr): New.
4673 (_m4_foreach): Adjust.
4674 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Adjust, and use
4675 m4_bpatsubst for clarification.

4727 AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM fails with dashed program names
4729 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Just use a fresh
4730 variable when looking for the prefix program.
4731 Now it also works for shell variables.

4736 case/esac.

4768 * tests/Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS): Use it, instead of WRAPPERS,

4792 Also, pass `--reload-state=' on them, so...

4808 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4810 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Split into two tests: one
4811 for plain code, the other for cross-compilation code. The latter
4812 is now run with GCC only.
4813 * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors): New.
4815 2002-01-30 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4817 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Support pre-defined
4818 values.
4819 * doc/autoconf.texi (Initializing configure): Explain how to
4820 change AC_INIT default values.
4822 2002-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4824 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use configure.in,
4825 so that aclocal 1.4 works.
4826 Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz and Larry Schmitt.
4828 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4830 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing testsuite.at): AT_CLEANUP no longer
4831 needs an argument.
4833 2002-01-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4835 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't be ridiculous: adjust
4836 AUTOTEST_PATH *after* it was set.
4837 Don't put `.' in the PATH: the user should be precise and `./' if
4838 needed. In addition, given that the test suite does some `cd', if
4839 `.' is in the path, the `tested programs' sections will report
4840 programs found in the test suite's directory, while during the
4841 tests (performed in their own directory), these programs are no
4842 longer visible. In other words, the results is confusing and
4843 useless.
4844 * tests/m4sh.at: Adjust: don't rely on `.' being in the PATH.
4846 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4848 Version 2.52g.
4850 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4853 * doc/autoconf.texi: Finally add Akim as an author.
4855 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4857 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.
4858 (_AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE): Don't expect $SHELL to be
4859 Bourne. Use /bin/sh.
4860 From Andreas Buening.
4862 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4873 * config/strip.m4: Remove, to ease sync'ing with any version of
4874 Automake.
4876 2002-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4878 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS)
4879 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Support -n as --no-create, as documented.
4880 Reported by Geir Ove Myhr.
4882 2002-01-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

4888 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (getopt): Use a more GNUish error
4889 message on invalid options.
4890 * bin/autom4te.in (parse_args): Don't use
4891 Autoconf::General::getopt with non valid options.
4893 2002-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
4895 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Initialize

4909 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't create
4910 package.m4, since is really depends upon configure.ac, not
4911 configure.
4912 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Scripts): Adjust.
4913 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
4914 EXTRA_DIST it since its a source.
4916 2002-01-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4918 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the AC_SUBST
4919 of PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_TARNAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_STRING,
4920 and PACKAGE_BUGREPORT from here...
4921 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): to here, since it is unrelated to the
4922 arguments.
4923 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): AC_DEFINE these symbols.
4924 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use AT_PACKAGE_*, not PACKAGE_*.
4925 (AT_INIT): No longer catch `^PACKAGE_(BUGREPORT|STRING)$'.
4926 * tests/tools.at (autoheader): Adjust.
4927 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): Adjust.

4933 2002-01-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4935 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Improved wording regarding use of
4936 AC_OUTPUT.

4942 sometimes needing writable input.
4944 2001-12-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
4946 * doc/autoconf.texi (New Macros): Tweak wording.
4948 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4950 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): We cleaning up the
4951 trailing files, don't apply `-rf' to files which might not be
4952 created by configure (core, core.*, and *.core), but just `rm -f'.
4953 Suggested by Jonathan Kamens.
4955 2001-12-14 Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
4957 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Avoid duplicates in `$ac_configure_args'.
4959 2001-12-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4961 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove configure.
4963 2001-12-13 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
4965 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename buildpath to
4966 abs_builddir, top_buildpath to abs_top_builddir, srcpath to
4967 abs_srcdir, top_srcpath to abs_top_srcdir.
4968 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
4969 * NEWS, doc/autoconf.texi, lib/autoconf/autotest.m4,
4970 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/autoreconf.in, tests/tools.at,
4971 * tests/wrappl.in, tests/wrapsh.in: Adjust.
4973 2001-12-12 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4975 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT): Fix failed
4976 C/Fortran linking on HP/UX, by extracting the Fortran library
4977 search path from the LPATH line in the $F77 -v output.
4979 2001-12-12 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
4981 * doc/autoconf.texi (File Descriptors): Use a clearer layout for the
4982 forbidden file descriptors table.
4984 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4986 * bin/autoscan.in (%c_keywords): Build it at top level.
4987 Map to 1 in order to simplify its uses.
4989 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4991 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file, &scan_sh_file, &scan_makefile):
4992 Remove $filepath, useless.
4993 (&scan_makefile): Don't remove the $(FOO), ${FOO} and @FOO@
4994 variables, they are really part of the tokens.
4995 Split the input line on spaces and then look for tokens.
4996 Now autoscan ceases to ask for AC_PROG_LEX for the package Bison
4997 because of `lex$U.$(OBJEXT)'.
4998 (&scan_files): Use "@list" instead of join.
4999 * doc/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.fns.
5001 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5003 * tests/autoreconf.in, tests/autom4te.in, tests/autoupdate.in:
5004 Remove, replaced by...
5005 * tests/wrappl.in: Be common for all the Perl executables.
5006 In particular autoscan and autoheader want -I.
5007 * configure.ac: Adjust.
5008 * lib/autoscan/headers: errno.h is portable.
5010 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5012 * bin/autoscan.in (used): New.
5013 Use it.
5015 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5017 * bin/autoscan.in (&scan_c_file): Better parsing of CPP
5018 directives.
5019 (&scan_sh_file): Remove a duplicate pattern.
5020 (&check_configure_ac): Use long options.
5021 * lib/autoscan/headers (alloca.h): Check with AC_FUNC_ALLOCA.
5023 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5025 * bin/autoscan.in (scan_c_file): Fix the handling of C comments.
5026 Before, having a line containing the opening of a multi line
5027 comment made the whole line be ignored.
5029 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5031 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using an Autotest Test Suite): New.
5032 (testsuite Scripts): Be one of its subsection.
5033 (Autotest Logs): New.
5035 2001-11-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5037 Test groups are now run two directories deeper.
5039 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Replace srcdir,
5040 top_srcdir and top_builddir with at_srcdir, at_top_srcdir and
5041 at_top_builddir.
5042 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute srcdir,
5043 top_srcdir, builddir and top_builddir.
5044 Use `at_*dir' relatively to the directory containing the
5045 suite, use `*dir' when relatively to the current group dir.
5047 2001-11-25 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
5049 * doc/autoconf.texi, TODO, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
5050 lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/headers.m4,
5051 tests/atgeneral.m4, tests/tools.at, tests/atspecific.m4: Fix
5052 spelling errors.
5054 2001-11-22 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5056 * doc/autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Add an example of `case
5057 $host' usage so people quit using `case $target' everywhere.
5059 2001-11-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5061 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Englishoes
5062 spotted by Jim Meyering.
5064 2001-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5066 This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
5068 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
5069 static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
5070 and the compiler supports dynamic arrays. Change its name from
5071 `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
5072 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
5073 test. Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
5074 better than double. Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
5075 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
5076 * NEWS: Likewise.
5078 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5080 * tests/m4sh.at (LINENO): Protect from autom4te's substitution by
5081 hand.
5082 * tests/tools.at: Don't protect dnl, AT_DATA_M4SH does.
5084 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5086 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): After having run the test
5087 group, go back to the initial directory, not to at_suite_dir.
5089 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5091 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_M4SUGAR, AT_DATA_M4SH)
5092 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): Also protect @&t@ from autom4te.
5093 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF, AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Pass no --include
5094 option.
5095 (AT_CHECK_CONFIGURE): Use absolute paths.
5096 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Create aclocal.m4 with AC_STATE_SAVE in it.
5097 The problem is still the old one: there is no means in M4 (that I
5098 know about) to create a defining macro, because there is no means
5099 to create `$1' etc., therefore, the defining macro ``swallows''
5100 all the arguments meant to the defined macro.
5102 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5104 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_DATA_AUTOCONF): New.
5105 (AT_CONFIGURE_AC): Output the definition of AC_STATE_SAVE in
5106 configure.ac.
5107 * tests/aclocal.m4: Remove, as it is no longer used.
5109 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5111 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Change `tests?' into `groups?' in
5112 variable names when referring to a single test group, or to
5113 `suite' when referring to the whole test suite.
5114 `at_last_test' is removed: m4 compute at_format itself.
5115 (at_stdout, at_stder1, at_stderr): New variables.
5116 (AT_CHECK): Use them.
5118 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5120 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Be sure to put `.', relative,
5121 in PATH.
5122 Create `testsuite.dir/003/run' instead of `testsuite.003'.
5123 Do it as soon as a test fails, don't wait till the end of the test
5124 suite.
5125 Don't remove $as_me.[0-9]*, since these files no longer exist.
5127 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5129 * tests/tools.at: Use absolute paths, since we are no longer run
5130 in place.
5132 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5134 Now that tests are running in their own private dir, there is no
5135 need to list the files to remove at the end of tests groups.
5137 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_CLEANUP_FILE, AT_CLEANUP_FILES):
5138 (AT_data_files, at_data_files): Remove.
5139 (AT_CLEANUP, AT_DATA): Simplify.
5140 (AT_INIT): Adjust.
5141 Remove the group dir if !debug && !failed.
5142 * tests/atspecific.m4: Adjust.
5144 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5146 Start a new layout for Autotest: `testsuite' creates
5147 `testsuite.dir' in which the at-check-line etc. files are to be
5148 found, and `testsuite.dir/003' where the test group 3 is run.
5150 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): at_tests_dir,
5151 at_check_line_file, at_format, at_test_normalized, at_group_dir
5152 are new variables.
5153 Create the directories.
5154 Use absolute paths for at- files.
5155 (AT_CHECK): Adjust.
5157 2001-11-11 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
5159 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_foreach): Make it linear instead quadratic.
5160 (m4_car2): New.
5161 (m4_car): Properly quote arguments.
5163 2001-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5165 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): s/LIBOBJS/LIB@&t@OBJS/ to cope
5166 with stricter rules on LIBOBJS.
5168 2001-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5170 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Define __PROTOTYPES too.
5171 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): AC_C_PROTOTYPES now defines
5172 __PROTOTYPES too.
5174 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5176 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
5178 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5180 * lib/autoconf/c.m4, lib/autoconf/fortran.m4,
5181 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
5182 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4, lib/autoconf/libs.m4,
5183 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
5184 * lib/autoconf/types.m4: When invoking AC_DEFINE and friends,
5185 specify to what the macro should be defined (typically to 1).
5187 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5189 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRTOD): AC_SUBST POW_LIB.
5190 From Jim Meyering.
5192 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5194 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
5195 AC_TRY_EVAL to run $LEX, not AC_TRY_COMMAND. This validates the
5196 definition used by Automake where LEX is +/- "${missing} lex" and
5197 `missing' itself contains variables.
5199 2001-11-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5201 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Push KILL at the end.
5202 Now that M4sh pushes BODY, the comments were output at the end of
5203 the test suites.
5205 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5207 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Run aclocal before tracing, so
5208 that we can trace macros from aclocal.m4.
5209 Trace AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, not AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, since the latter is
5210 obsoleted, and redirect to the former anyway.
5211 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
5213 2001-11-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5215 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): AC_CONFIG_SUBIDRS are to be
5216 processed only if present.
5217 * tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Use autoreconf
5218 instead of successive calls to autoconf.
5219 Add a nonexistent subdirectory to exercise the patch above.
5220 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
5222 2001-11-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
5224 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Note HP-UX cc
5225 doesn't accept .S files.
5227 2001-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5229 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_pattern_forbid): Accepts $2.

5232 * bin/autom4te.in (warn_forbidden): New.
5233 (handle_output): Use it.
5234 Read m4_pattern_forbid with messages.
5236 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5238 * bin/autom4te.in (--normalize): Remove.
5239 * lib/autom4te.in: Adjust.
5241 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5243 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Rename this target as...
5244 ($(TESTSUITE)): this.
5245 From Nicolas Joly.
5247 2001-11-05 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
5249 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): When removing
5250 the --prefix option, also remove it's argument.
5252 2001-11-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5254 * doc/autoconf.texi (testsuite Invocation): Update.
5255 (Writing testsuite.at): Update.
5257 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5259 * doc/autoconf.texi: s/@code/@command/ where appropriate.
5261 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5263 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: (&catfile, &canonfile)
5264 (&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
5265 File::Spec.
5266 Use and export them.
5267 (&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
5268 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
5269 the arguments.
5270 Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
5271 (&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
5272 Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
5273 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
5275 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5277 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (@export_vars, @export_subs)
5278 (@export_forward_subs): New.
5279 Add basename, dirname, and fileparse.
5280 (@EXPORT): Adjust.
5281 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Fix call to fileparse.
5282 Don't look for aclocal flags if we already know aclocal is not
5283 used.
5284 Move aclocal.m4t only if it exists.
5285 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
5287 2001-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5289 * bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Work only on the configure.ac
5290 passed on command line, defaulting to ./configure.ac if present.
5291 (&maybe_autoreconf, File::Find): Remove, unused.
5292 (&autoreconf): If autoconf is not used, don't try to trace.
5294 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5296 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52g.
5298 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5300 Version 2.52f.
5302 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5304 * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, doc/standards.texi:
5305 * config/lispdir.m4: Update from masters.
5306 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52f.
5308 2001-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5310 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Set `$aclocal_flags' to ''.
5311 Don't run aclocal when aclocal.m4 is not from aclocal.
5312 From Ezra Peisach.
5313 Don't run libtoolize and gettextize if --install is not given.
5315 2001-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5317 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): _AS_CR_PREPARE needs to
5318 be invoked before _AS_LINENO_PREPARE.
5319 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use as_cr_digits and as_cr_alnum rather
5320 than character ranges.
5322 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix NLS before
5323 invoking AS_BASENAME. Set the locale variables to 'C' if
5324 possible, as POSIX requires this to get the traditional
5325 behavior.
5326 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Describe the above.
5328 2001-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5330 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): Do not surround body
5331 with {}, as that triggers a bug in Bash 2.05.
5333 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use Sed rather than
5334 Awk. Fix the sed prepass to work even if there are multiple
5335 instances of $LINENO on the same line. Do not substitute for
5336 other variables like $LINENOT. Do not check file dates; such a
5337 check is unreliable on sufficiently fast machines, and removing
5338 the check makes the code simpler and more reliable. Check for
5339 output and chmod failures.
5341 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document
5342 the above.
5344 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5346 * tests/Makefile.am (atconfig): Remove this target, Automake
5347 handles it now.
5349 2001-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5351 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Do not
5352 AC_CONFIG_FILES(atlocal) as it means a file atlocal.in *must* be
5353 provided, while it is optional.
5354 * configure.ac: Adjust.
5356 2001-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5358 * NEWS, README, configure.ac, lib/Autom4te/General.pm,
5359 lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm:
5360 Require Perl 5.005_03 instead of just 5.005, as some tests fail
5361 with 5.005_02.
5363 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document some
5364 more LINENO gotchas, particularly with respect to the Awk+Sed hack.
5366 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_WORKS): New macro.
5367 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Use it instead of shell eval, since
5368 eval $LINENO is not portable in practice.
5370 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5372 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (backname): New.
5374 2001-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5376 * m4/: Remove, merged into...
5377 * config/: here.
5379 2001-10-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5381 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shellology): Mention the problems with bash
5382 2.05's use of ANSI quoting in its `set' builtin.
5384 2001-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5386 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):
5387 Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
5388 and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
5389 POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
5390 Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
5391 Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.
5393 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
5394 Document the above changes. Also, document the fact that
5395 AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.
5397 * NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
5399 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5401 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): The name of
5402 the executable was missing from the log.
5404 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5406 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): If destination is
5407 unchanged, remove the source.
5408 (&up_to_date_p): Don't be verbose, be debug.
5409 * bin/autoreconf.in: No longer support --m4dir.
5410 (&autoreconf): Display the full path of the configure.ac we are
5411 studying.
5412 Trace it only once.
5413 Be sure to honor --force with gettextize.
5414 Always run aclocal.
5415 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
5417 2001-10-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5419 * bin/autoheader.in ($localdir, $m4, $SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX):
5420 Remove, dead.
5421 * bin/autoreconf.in (&autoreconf): Do not run gettextize when
5422 `intl' is already present, as it refuses unless --force.
5423 (&parse_args): Use -I, --include instead of the old Autoconf
5424 options.
5425 ($localdir, $autoconf_dir): Remove.
5426 (@include): New.
5427 (&maybe_autoreconf): New, to preserve $_ for File::Find.
5429 2001-10-19 Jens Petersen <petersen@redhat.com>
5431 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_AWK): Prefer gawk to mawk.

5441 2001-10-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5443 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: In a
5444 comment, explain how to install automatic mode selection.
5445 From Russ Allbery.
5447 2001-10-19 Ezra Peisach <epeisach@zif.mit.edu>
5449 * bin/autoreconf.in (autoreconf): Display the path to the
5450 configure.ac being studied.
5452 2001-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5454 * lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Cast sizeof to unsigned
5455 long, to work around a bug in the HP C compiler version HP92453-01
5456 B.11.11.23709.GP.
5458 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME): Use 'dirname' if that works.
5459 (AS_BASENAME_EXPR): New macro.
5460 (AS_BASENAME_SED): Do not assume GNU sed semantics.
5461 (AS_BASENAME): Use 'basename' if that works; then try 'expr';
5462 and fall back on 'sed' only if the other two fail. This makes
5463 AS_BASENAME act more like AS_DIRNAME.
5464 (as_me): Shell-quote the argument of AS_BASENAME, in case $0
5465 contains white space.
5466 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR):
5467 Use AS_DIRNAME, since I think it's now DOS-friendly.
5468 * tests/m4sh.at (DIRNAME_TEST): New arg $3.
5469 Allow "dirname //FOO" to return either / or //, as POSIX allows
5470 either behavior.
5472 2001-10-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5474 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT): Recognize
5475 `a_out.exe' for OpenVMS 7.1, DEC C 5.5 compiler, via GNV.
5476 From Eric Sharkey.

5480 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE): m4_defun, not

5518 (Syntax of the shell scripts): Don't.
5519 * bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoreconf.in: Don't
5520 bother with $force since...
5521 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm: does.
5523 2001-10-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5525 * bin/autoreconf.in: Rewrite in Perl.
5526 * configure.ac: Adjust.

5608 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): If the current
5609 shell does not support LINENO, and if CONFIG_SHELL is unset or
5610 empty, and if we can find a shell that does support LINENO,
5611 then set CONFIG_SHELL to that shell and then re-execute
5612 ourselves with CONFIG_SHELL.
5614 2001-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5616 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Don't invoke $(TESTSUITE) if it
5617 doesn't exist. Remove *.tmp, as a .tmp file is created during the
5618 build of $(TESTSUITE).
5620 2001-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5622 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_LINENO_PREPARE): Look in the path

5659 compatibility with POSIX shells.

5688 Don't use nested parenthesization. This patch was originally
5689 suggested to bug-autoconf by Philippe De Muyter on 2000-05-28,
5690 but somehow it didn't get incorporated then.

5696 the type exists.
5697 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
5698 Check for `expr' arithmetic overflow, and for compilation failure,
5699 and invoke a new argument $4 if either is discovered.
5700 This makes _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE more like _AC_COMPUTE_INT_RUN.
5701 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT): Pass IF-FAILS arg to _AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE.
5703 2001-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5705 * lib/emacs/autoconf-mode.el, lib/emacs/autotest-mode.el: New.

5729 (Broken/missing compilers, AC_PROG_CPP with warnings)
5730 (AC_PROG_CPP without warnings, AC_PROG_CPP via CC): Move to...
5731 * tests/c.at (Extensions, C keywords)
5732 (Broken/missing compilers, AC_PROG_CPP with warnings)
5733 (AC_PROG_CPP without warnings, AC_PROG_CPP via CC)
5734 (AC_PROG_CPP requires AC_PROG_CC): here and...
5735 * tests/fortran.at (GNU Fortran 77): there.
5736 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Fix the example:
5737 AC_TRY_RUN is about compilation, not shell commands.
5738 (Test Programs): AC_TRY_RUN works as used to be advertised.
5740 2001-09-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5742 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Fix bugs spotted by
5743 Raja R Harinath:
5744 Be sure to detect when $LINENO always returns the same value.
5745 Look for the original script, basename($0) is certainly not
5746 enough.
5747 Pass the CLI arguments to `$as_me.lineno'.
5749 2001-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5751 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Dump the whole config.log.

5841 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4: Create `package.m4'.
5842 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): Remove.
5844 2001-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5846 Rely on `$LINENO' when possible instead of `__oline__'.
5848 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Provide some form of
5849 `$LINENO' support replacement when not supported.
5850 (_AS_CR_PREPARE, _AS_TR_CPP_PREPARE, _AS_TR_SH_PREPARE): Invoke

5863 it works.
5865 2001-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5867 * Makefile.maint (AUTOM4TE): Neutralize autom4te.
5868 Suggested by Jim Meyering.

5885 PATH_SEPARATOR.
5886 (Special Shell Variables[PATH_SEPARATOR]): Ditto.
5887 (Special Shell Variables[CDPATH]): Mention that $PATH_SEPRATOR should
5888 be used instead of ':'.
5889 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Replace occurrences of ':' in

5895 arguments. Fixed a typo.
5897 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5899 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not ':' to set up
5900 $PATH. Also set AUTOM4TE_CFG, so we can process autom4te properly.
5902 2001-09-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
5904 * bin/autoscan.in: Add 'exec-perl-if-not-run-by-perl'.

5914 already have $file). Set output files to binary mode (helps avoid
5915 CR issues on DOSish systems).
5917 2001-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5919 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Englishoes.
5920 From Tim Van Holder and Alexey Mahotkin.
5922 2001-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5924 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Shell Constructs): New node,
5925 documenting AS_DIRNAME.
5926 (Limitations of Usual Tools): Refer to it when discussing dirname.
5927 Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
5929 * lib/autoconf/c.m4:
5930 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
5932 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
5933 Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
5934 to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
5936 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): AC_FUNC_GETPGRP
5937 now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
5938 to getpgrp.
5940 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
5941 (AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
5942 whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
5943 getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
5944 and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.
5946 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5948 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Make) <$<>: New.

5958 * tests/m4sh.at: Ensure that AS_DIRNAME handles '/', '//' and '///'
5959 correctly.
5960 Add test for AS_BASENAME.
5961 * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
5962 added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
5963 Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
5964 * tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
5965 one line out...
5966 * lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
5967 the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
5969 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5971 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): No INIT-CMDS in
5972 the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
5973 This also solves the name clash problems.
5974 Don't set the package's ID.
5975 * lib/m4sugar/Makefile.am (version.m4): Revamp.
5976 No longer to be shipped.
5977 (version.in): Remove.
5978 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4, lib/autoconf/general.m4,
5979 * lib/autoconf/status.m4: Adjust.
5980 Use `m4_PACKAGE_STRING'.
5981 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): N-th signature change: now
5982 the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
5983 Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
5984 * lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
5985 * tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
5986 * tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.
5988 2001-09-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5990 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Preselect AM_CONDITIONAL,
5991 AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.
5992 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't abort when a tested
5993 program version string doesn't match the package's.
5994 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Reestablish the space
5995 after `(cached)'.
5997 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
5999 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
6000 Allow expression to return any value that can fit into unsigned long
6001 (not int, as before). Check for output errors.
6003 2001-09-17 Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>
6005 * lib/autoconf/c.m4: (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)):
6006 Always include <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>. Evaluate
6007 the expression in an extra function before these includes. Call
6008 fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of type 'int'.
6009 Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
6011 2001-09-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6013 Fix bug reported by Paul Townsend on AIX 4.3.3.0 with CFLAGS=-O4
6014 or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
6015 fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
6016 when they don't exist.
6018 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
6019 not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
6020 need it.
6022 * lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
6023 version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
6024 AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
6025 we don't need it.
6027 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_ISC_POSIX): Describe new behavior.
6029 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6031 * tests/base.at, tests/m4sh.at: Be sure to issue the bangshe line
6032 _first_.
6033 Reported by Gerrit P. Haase.

6037 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Reset `AT_victims' so that

6063 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6065 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Fix stupid bugs.
6067 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6069 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Create and remove
6070 `$as_me.[0-9]+' instead of `debug-[0-9]+.sh', so that multiple
6071 test suites can cohabit.
6073 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6075 * tests/mktests.sh: Don't output banners for empty test files.
6077 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6079 Test suites can be run independently of configure.

6097 * tests/ifnames: New.
6099 2001-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6101 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Let --keywords also match
6102 test group titles.
6103 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AU_MACRO): AT_KEYWORDS(autoupdate).

6127 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Don't pass
6128 PATH_SEPARATOR, let M4sh compute it.

6130 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_SHELL_PATH_WALK): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.

6143 2001-09-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6146 doesn't neutralize SIGINT, making autoconf etc. non interruptible.
6147 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Move the package
6148 related variables into `at_package_*'.

6163 Adjust PATH computation.

6174 to avoid GCC warnings.
6175 From Uwe Seimet.
6177 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6179 * bin/autom4te.in: --language is -l, not -s.
6181 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6183 Be ready to handle filenames as stupid as `dnl.at', for if even
6184 the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
6186 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
6187 excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
6189 And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
6190 the wrong one.
6192 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to

6213 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoscan Invocation): Adjust.
6215 2001-09-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6220 New, extracted from main.
6221 Use IO::File wherever possible.
6222 (input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
6223 Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
6224 Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just

6227 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6229 Version 2.52d.

6252 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6254 * doc/autoconf.texi (Quadrigraphs): Document `@&t@'.
6255 (testsuite Scripts): There is no such thing as `atconfig.in'.
6256 And actually one diagram is missing: test suite runtime.
6258 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6260 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file): Browse the includes in the
6261 inverse order.
6263 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6265 * bin/autoupdate.in (@include): `installcheck' revealed the path
6266 to m4sugar was lacking!
6268 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6270 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): We really have to pass
6271 autom4te_perllibdir.
6273 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6275 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't pass all the args to
6276 debug scripts, in particular passing explicitly listed tests to
6277 run is stupid.
6279 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6281 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Strip `.' from `@include'.
6282 * bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
6283 Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.
6284 * tests/autoupdate: $top_srcdir/lib is needed too for melt files.
6286 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6288 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Missing eol.
6289 * bin/autoheader.in (%symbol): Strip arguments of macros.
6291 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6293 * doc/autoconf.texi: Catch up -I, --include changes.
6295 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6297 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Die on unknown languages.
6298 * bin/autoheader.in: Run directly autom4te --mode=autoconf, no
6299 need for autoconf.
6300 Promote --include over --macrodir and other obsolete options.
6302 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6304 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm ($version, $help, &getopt): New.
6305 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
6306 * bin/autom4te.in ($autoconf): Pass --force.
6307 `print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
6308 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
6309 (autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
6310 the time stamps.
6311 Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
6313 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6315 * bin/autoheader.in: Handle the acconfig.h etc. junk files.
6316 Check the completeness of the #template.
6317 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/remove/unlink/.
6318 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Adjust AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER
6319 invocation.
6321 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6323 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_file, &update_file): New.
6324 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
6325 Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
6326 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
6327 `autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
6328 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
6330 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6332 * bin/autoheader.in: Rewrite in Perl.
6333 * tests/autoheader: Adjust.
6335 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6337 * bin/autoconf.in (--include, -I): New option.
6338 Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
6339 Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
6340 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
6341 There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
6342 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
6343 * bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
6344 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
6345 * tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
6347 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6349 * bin/autoconf.in: Don't bother with `acsite.m4' and `aclocal.m4'.
6350 * bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
6351 optionally `FILE'.
6352 Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
6353 (&parse_args): Adjust.
6354 * lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
6356 2001-08-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6358 * configure.ac: Also find tested executables in bin.
6359 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
6360 * bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
6361 installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
6362 Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
6363 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
6364 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
6365 `abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
6366 * man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
6367 find the executables for it.
6368 * tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
6369 * tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
6370 We only need PERL.
6371 * tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
6372 indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
6373 --autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
6374 Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
6375 * tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
6376 * tests/autoscan: New.
6377 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
6378 refer to library files: rely on --language.
6380 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6382 * bin/autom4te.in, lib/autom4te.in, bin/autoconf.in:
6383 s/--set/--language/.
6385 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6387 * doc/autoconf.texi: Strip the @nodes.
6388 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
6389 (Initializing configure): Typo.
6391 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6393 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): s/@__@/@&t@/.
6394 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
6396 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6398 * Makefile.maint (do-po-update): Wget refuses to overwrite files:
6399 download in a tmp dir.
6401 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6403 * lib/autotest/general.m4: s/AT-devnull/devnull/ since there are
6404 case insensitive OSes out there :(
6405 From Tim Van Holder.
6407 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6409 * lib/autom4te.in: New.
6410 * lib/Makefile.am (edit, autom4te.cfg): New.
6411 * bin/autom4te.in (BEGIN): Simplify.
6412 Rely on `AC_MACRODIR' in addition of `autom4te_perllibdir'.
6413 (&load_configuration): New. Use it.
6414 (&parse_args): Support --mode, --set, and --melt.
6415 * bin/autoconf.in: Simplify and adjust.
6416 * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE): Use --set.
6417 * tests/atlocal.in: Adjust.
6418 * BUGS: distcheck and check are weak.
6420 2001-08-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6422 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Use
6423 foo=`(command) 2>/dev/null`
6424 not
6425 foo=`command` 2>/dev/null
6426 (at-devnull): Rename as...
6427 (AT-devnull): this.
6428 (--clean): Remove AT-* files too.
6429 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Document `date'.
6430 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
6432 2001-08-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6434 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Don't use single
6435 quotes inside single quotes.
6436 Reported by Nicolas Joly.

6440 * doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Mention C right shifts.
6442 2001-08-27 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6444 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Reword some messages.
6445 (AT_INIT): Check for the `times' builtin before using it.
6446 Support test ranges as arguments to the testsuite.
6447 Have -e imply -d as the help text suggested.
6449 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6451 * Makefile.maint: Formatting changes.
6452 (do-po-update, po-update, cvs-update, update): New targets.

6459 Pass it to debug-*.sh scripts.
6460 <AUTOTEST_PATH>: May contain absolute dir names.
6462 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6464 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Log the command line.
6465 Support `VAR=VAL' as arguments.
6466 Compute PATH _after_ the options processing, so that AUTOTEST_PATH
6467 may be set via the command line.
6469 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6471 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): $2 defaults to $1.
6472 * lib/autotest/autotest.m4 (AT_INIT): Expand AUTOTEST_PATH into
6473 first the build dirs, then the src dirs.

6476 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6483 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6485 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): Rename `ac_dots' as
6486 `ac_top_builddir' to mimic Automake's vocabulary, which much more
6487 readable.
6488 Adjust callers.
6489 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Actions): Document the vars
6490 available in commands.
6491 Emphasize the risks of collisions in init-cmds.
6493 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6495 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input) <AC_INIT>: Move to..
6496 (Initializing configure): this new node.
6498 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6500 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): INSTALL.txt is a dead hack.

6504 * m4/atconfig.m4 (AT_CONFIG): Remove, replaced by...
6505 * lib/autoconf/autotest.m4 (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): this.

6511 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AU_DEFINE, AU_DEFUN, AU_ALIAS): Move

6514 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AH_OUTPUT, AH_VERBATIM)

6519 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6521 * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_SRCPATHS): New.
6522 (_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Use it.
6523 Standardize the var names (ac_sub_srcdir -> ac_srcdir, ac_subdir
6524 -> ac_dir).
6525 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): AS_DIRNAME always return a dir name.
6526 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Ditto.
6528 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6553 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Add 1.5 and dist-bzip2.
6554 (AMTAR): Help automake define it.
6555 (INSTALL, install-data-hook): The INSTALL.txt trick is no longer
6556 needed, 1.5 can have a macro and a target with the same name.
6557 * m4/auxdir.m4, m4/cond.m4, m4/depend.m4, m4/install-sh.m4,
6558 * m4/strip.m4: New.

6571 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_acversion, m4_version_prereq): New.
6572 Adjust callers.
6573 * bin/autoupdate.in: Distinguish M4sugar vs. Autoconf macros by
6574 the name of the directory they're in, instead of the filename,
6575 since version.m4 is now in m4sugar, but m4_acversion must not be
6576 classified as an Autoconf macro.
6577 ($input_m4): Don't qualify the path to m4sugar.
6578 Rather, pass autoconf_dir to m4.
6579 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Remove -I top_srcdir, unneeded.
6580 * tests/suite.at: Require 2.52c.
6582 2001-08-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6594 of config.log on traps.
6595 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use AS_BOX.
6596 Use consistently `_ACEOF' for configure's here docs, and `_CSEOF'
6597 for config.status'.
6598 Open the log as soon as possible.
6599 Use the same log introduction as configure's.
6601 2001-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
6603 * doc/autoconf.texi (Indices): New node.
6604 Move indices out of the top level menu and into this submenu.
6606 2001-08-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6608 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Use
6609 AC_TRY_COMMAND.
6610 (AC_DECL_YYTEXT): Fix the previous patch: it points to AC_PROG_LEX.
6612 2001-08-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6614 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SHELL_PATH_WALK, AC_CHECK_PROG)

6616 (AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Move to...

6620 (AC_PROG_INSTALL, AC_PROG_LN_S, AC_RSH): Move to...
6621 * lib/autoconf/programs.m4: here.
6622 (_AC_DECL_YYTEXT): Rename as...
6623 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): this.
6624 * lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4, lib/autoconf/Makefile.am

6647 (AC_SITE_LOAD): Better logging of config.site.
6649 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6651 * configure.ac (AT_CONFIG): Fix the path.
6652 * m4/atconfig.m4 (AT_CONFIG): Don't use EOF but ATEOF so that 2.52
6653 can be used.
6655 2001-08-20 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6657 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Prepare the cross-compile
6658 program with AC_LANG_PROGRAM before feeding it to
6659 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE. Cleanup grep usage.
6661 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6663 * ChangeLog, ChangeLog.0, ChangeLog.1, ChangeLog.2, AUTHORS, BUGS,
6664 * NEWS, README, README-alpha, TODO, tests/README: This package is
6665 `Autoconf', not `autoconf' (the executable).
6667 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6669 Info readers seem to need `Index' in the index node title :(
6671 * doc/autoconf.texi: Reverse the 2001-08-15 change which
6672 simplified index node names.
6674 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6676 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Warn if the
6677 arguments are not literals.
6678 * doc/autoconf.texi (Input) <AC_INIT>: Arguments must be literals.
6679 Specify the output variables, and macros defined.
6681 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6683 * doc/autoconf.texi (Examining Declarations) <AC_TRY_CPP>:
6684 (Examining Syntax) <AC_TRY_COMPILE>
6685 (Examining Libraries) <AC_TRY_LINK>
6686 (Test Programs) <AC_TRY_RUN>: These macros double quote some of
6687 their arguments.
6688 Reported by Werner Lemberg.
6690 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6692 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Compute top_builddir,
6693 top_srcdir and srcdir from at_topbuild_2_topsrc and at_testdir.
6694 Load atlocal late enough to dump it in the log.

6716 2001-08-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6718 Huh!?!?! There are still some user EOF tags used, which prevents
6719 their use in AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS for instance...
6721 * lib/autoconf/general.m4, lib/autoconf/specific.m4,
6722 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Rename the EOF tags as `_ACEOF',

6785 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Refer to `$as_me.log', not
6786 `$0.log' as for projects where testsuite is in src, we'd have
6787 testsuite.log created in src.

6791 * bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Recognize --normalize.

6803 * doc/autoconf.texi: Work around Texinfo buglets.
6804 (Transformation Rules): One example is enough, users are expected
6805 to have their brains on. And BTW, use DESTDIR.
6806 (dvar): New macro. Use it.

6860 2001-08-15 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6862 * tests/Makefile.am: Use a clean-local rule to remove
6863 autom4te.cache (it's a directory, not a file.
6864 * Makefile.am: Ditto (but maintainer-clean-local).
6866 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6868 * bin/autom4te.in (@m4_warning): New.
6869 (&handle_m4): Use it.
6870 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn): Pass `-f' to autom4te to ensure the
6871 warnings are issued at each run.
6872 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): M4sugar
6873 is in the src tree.
6875 2001-08-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6877 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOUPDATE): Perl is now required:
6878 don't waste time running `autoupdate --version' works.
6879 * tests/tools.at (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): Likewise.
6881 2001-08-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6938 * tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): New test.
6940 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6942 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Handle ACTION-IF-TRUE,
6943 ACTION-IF-FALSE, and ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN.
6944 * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Update
6945 documentation for AC_C_BIGENDIAN.
6947 2001-08-11 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
6949 * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Guess endianness by grep'ing
6950 magic values from an object file when cross-compiling.
6951 Based on code by Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de>.
6953 2001-08-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6955 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Don't use `grep' with side
6956 effects.
6957 Suggested by Russ Allbery.
6959 2001-08-10 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
6961 * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Propagate the
6962 current $prefix to the sub-configures.
6964 2001-08-09 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
6966 * lib/autoconf/lang.m4: Ignore *.xSYM when looking for an executable
6967 extension (needed on BeOS). Reported by Guido van Rossum.
6969 2001-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6971 * bin/autom4te.in ($icache): Load it only if older than autom4te.
6973 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6975 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): All the `at-*' are to be
6976 removed.
6977 (at-setup-line): Huh? Be a variable `at_setup_line', not a file.
6978 No need to remove the files before and after the each test, before
6979 each test and at the end of the suite is enough.
6980 Display only the children `times', not the shell's.
6981 If the test failed or was skipped, at-times is not available.
6983 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6985 Always produce testsuite.log, including when there are no
6986 failures. This helps getting information on skipped tests, and
6987 duration of the tests. Err, implement the latter btw.
6989 * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Set up fd 6 for the log.
6990 Dump information on the first run of each test.
6991 (AT_CLEANUP): Create `at-times' containing the duration of the
6992 test group.
6994 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6996 The use of `dumpstat' revealed that `len' was used although it
6997 should not. m4_text_wrap was using it, but in the Autoconf world
6998 where it is legal. Hence (i) test M4sh in its own world, not
6999 Autoconf's, and (ii), ahem, fix the bug :)
7001 * lib/autotest/general.m4: Be sure the set good quotes, as tracing
7002 does not like `' instead of [].
7003 (AT_INIT): Forbid `^_?AT_'.
7004 And don't output such tokens.
7005 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add `script', `script.s4g',
7006 `script.as', and `autom4te.cache'.
7007 Remove `empty' and `macro' which are no longer used.
7008 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): New.
7009 * tests/m4sugar.at: Use it.
7010 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Use `m4_len' not `len'.
7012 2001-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7014 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in: --force, -f is a new option.
7016 2001-08-07 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7018 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_output): Typo in quadrigraph substitution.
7020 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7022 * lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE)
7023 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO, AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use AC_LANG_IFELSE, not
7024 AC_TRY_LINK.
7025 * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_MAJOR): Likewise.
7026 * lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS)
7027 (AC_F77_MAIN): Likewise.
7029 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7031 Don't rely on M4sugar outputting the patterns in files, since we
7032 might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
7033 files.
7035 * lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_init): No need for `m4_tmpdir'.
7036 * bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
7037 (@Request::source): Rename as...
7038 (@Request::input): this.
7039 (@preselect): Add `m4_pattern_forbid' and `m4_pattern_allow'.
7040 (&handle_output): Fetch the patterns from the traces.
7041 `$forbidden' and `$allowed' are constant: use m//o.
7042 (&handle_m4): M4sugar no longer wants `m4_tmpdir'.
7043 (m4_pattern_forbid, m4_pattern_allow): Adjust for tracing only.
7045 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7047 `autoconf && autoheader' is sped up. Now, speed up `autoheader &&
7048 autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
7050 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
7051 (Request::id): this.
7052 ($cache, $icache, $tcache, $ocache): New.
7053 (&handle_m4): Save M4 output in the cache instead of $tmp.
7054 (&handle_output): Adjust.
7055 (&up_to_date_p): Check that the output cache is up to date too.
7056 (top level): Run `&handle_m4' iff force or the cache is invalid.
7057 Run `&handle_output' if the output cache is more recent.
7059 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7061 * bin/autom4te.in ($force): New.
7062 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -f, --force is a new option.
7063 (&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
7064 (&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
7066 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7068 Don't let autom4te compute the `include' traces several times:
7069 first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
7070 compare its timestamp with that of the output.
7072 * bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
7073 the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
7074 and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
7075 * lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
7076 Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
7077 * lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
7078 (&mtime): New, export it.
7079 * bin/autom4te.in: Use it.
7080 Declare `$req' is invalid if it is outdated.
7081 Don't declare it valid before saving it if something went wrong.
7083 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7085 Autom4te shall not encode Autoconf data, and preselecting traces
7086 must be proposed to the users.
7088 * bin/autom4te.in (@required_trace): Remove.
7089 (@preselect): New.
7090 (&parse_args, &print_usage): -p, --preselect is a new option.
7091 (&up_to_date_p): Adjust.
7092 * bin/autoconf.in: Preselect some Autoconf macros.
7094 2001-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7096 * tests/tools.at (autoconf --trace: user macros): Check traces on
7097 macros invoked without arguments, and macros invoked with multiple
7098 lines arguments.
7100 2001-08-03 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
7102 * bin/autom4te.in (handle_traces): Fix rewriting of traces without
7103 arguments.
7105 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7107 * bin/autoconf.in ($@): Work around the usual sh bug.
7108 From Nicolas Joly.
7110 2001-08-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7112 Clean up the handling of the M4 builtins tracing exception.
7114 * bin/autom4te.in (Request::request): Don't complete M4 builtins
7115 trace requests.
7116 (@m4_builtins): Rename as...
7117 (@m4_builtin): this.
7118 (%m4_builtin_alternate_name): New.
7119 (&parse_args): Complete the trace requests with alternate names.
7120 (&handle_traces): Hence no longer do it here.
7121 (&trace_requests): Remove, unused.

7125 * doc/autoconf.texi (Redefined M4 Macros): Document m4_exit,
7126 m4_if, and m4_wrap.

7131 (m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
7132 mismatch happens.
7133 * bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
7134 occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
7135 Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
7136 the appear in the output.
7137 * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
7138 * tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
7139 (autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
7140 autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
7141 Check that `dnl' is caught.
7143 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7145 * configure.ac: Bump to 2.52c.
7147 2001-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7149 Version 2.52b.
7151 * lib/Autom4te/Makefile.am (perllibdir): s/Autoconf/Autom4te/.

7160 `die'.
7161 (&END): New.
7162 * bin/autoconf.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Remove your
7163 `END', as `Autom4te::General::END' will be triggered.
7164 * bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Improve error messages accuracy.
7165 * bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of

7600 cross-language link tests can be performed successfully.
7601 (_AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Require AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN. Also put $FLIBS
7602 after $LIBS, for consistency; this should be the general rule since

7614 * aclang.m4 (_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION): Only add declaration to
