[libtool.git] / ChangeLog.2004

2004-12-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/getopt.m4sh (func_version, func_usage, func_help):
        Use `$SED -n' instead of `$SED RANGE {..}; d' as AIX sed cannot
        handle the latter.
        (func_help): start autoconf and automake in subshells to avoid
        error messages from ash or Bourne shell if not available.

2004-12-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/general.m4sh (func_quote_for_eval): Move backslash to
        beginning of character class, to work around old Bash bug.
        (func_quote_for_expand): Also test to avoid unnecessary fork.

2004-12-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>,
            Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am, bootstrap, clcommit.m4sh, libtoolize.m4sh,
        config/ltmain.m4sh: Replace `set --' with `set dummy [...]; shift'
        for portability.
        * tests/sh.test: Test for this.

2004-12-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libtoolize.m4sh, config/ltmain.m4sh (most functions): New
        variable $opt_debug is either `:' or `set -x' depending on
        --debug.  Execute at most function entries to cater for ksh which
        resets `-x'.
        * tests/defs.m4sh: Ditto for VERBOSE=debug.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [cygwin, mingw, pw32]:
        _LT_TAGVAR missing for `fix_srcfile_path'.
        [sysv4, sysv5]: _LT_TAGVAR missing for
        `export_dynamic_flag_spec'.

        * doc/libtool.texi (all over): Use @option and @command.
        Some more minor formatting updates, typos.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_ECHO_BACKSLASH): Fix variable quoting;
        allows lt_ECHO to match --fallback-echo again.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_extract_archives): Not all shells grok
        `read -r' (unnecessary in this case).
        Reported by Ralf Menzel <menzel@ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de>.

        * config/general.m4sh: New variable quote_scanset...
        (func_quote_for_eval, func_quote_for_expand): ...use it to work
        around SunOS ksh `case' backslash-escaping bug: protect character
        class by variable expansion.
        Reported by Alexander Kurz <alexander.kurz@qsc.de>.

        * tests/quote.test: Restart under the correct shell (the one
        $ECHO was computed for).

2004-12-21  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/lt__dirent.c: Include lt__private.h.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt__private.h: Include lt__strl.h.

2004-12-20  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_extract_archives)
        (func_extract_an_archive): On darwin, uniq can not take the flags
        -cd together, thanks to Ralf for the fix, also ar does not accept
        N, so we use the fact that ar x libfoo.a foo.o will always extract
        the first foo.o in the archive and we then delete foo.o from the
        archive, which will also delete only the first foo.o, then rinse
        and repeat. Also add markers for the testuite.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): Add a marker so that we can use a
        sed expression to find the shell functions in libtool.
        * tests/functests.at: Test this feature.
        * tests/testsuite.at: Add the test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Add the test.

2004-12-20  Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Install `install-sh' as well, needed for
        configure.
        * Makefile.am, Makefile.maint: Install, update it.
        * NEWS, doc/libtool.texi (Distributing): Document it.
        Reported by Ross Boylan <ross@biostat.ucsf.edu>.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [solaris]: Add '${wl}-z
        ${wl}text' to archive_cmds and archive_expsyms_cmds.  I.e., do not
        allow nopic in shared libraries.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [solaris]: Change
        no_undefined_flag back to ' -z defs'.  Problems with linking
        against libgcc.a will have to be resolved differently.

        * tests/demo-nopic.test [solaris, sunos]: Skip test.

2004-12-18  Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libtool.m4 [linux] (_LT_COMPILER_PIC, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG):
        Match icpc* and ecpc* (ia64 version of icpc) instead of only icpc.

        * libltdl/lt__dirent.c (opendir) [mingw]: Fix write of constant
        strings past end of buffer.
        (opendir, readdir): Fix read past end of buffer.

2004-12-17  Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * HACKING: Update list of non-Libtool-owned files.

2004-12-17  Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_copy_all_from_path): Remove spurious eval.

2004-12-16  Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (trim): Return error rather than do bogus
        null pointer arithmetic when parsing a malformed .la file.

2004-12-13  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libltdl/lt__strl.c, libltdl/libltdl/lt__strl.h: New files to
        emulate strlcat and strlcpy, which support size-bounded string
        copying and concatenation for improved security.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: Optionally build source files
        libltdl/lt__strl.c and libltdl/libltdl/lt__strl.h.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LTDL_INIT): Add checks for strlcat and strlcpy.

2004-12-13  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG):
        Append -G to link command-line on AIX to honor -brtl on
        command-line (runtime linking). Already done for IBM C/C++
        compilers.

2004-12-12  Patrick Welche <prlw1@newn.cam.ac.uk>

        * configure.ac: Fix aclocaldir to use ${datadir}, not ${prefix}.
        Necessary for removal of old libtool.m4 files.

2004-12-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_extract_archive): Send stderr of $NM
        to /dev/null.
        Reported by Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org>.

2004-12-09  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Preserve -model [arg] option, used
        with the Tru64 UNIX C++ compiler. This option selects the
        layout of C++ classes, name mangling, and exception handling.

2004-12-09  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_finish) [solaris]: Fix [] escaping
        bug.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (all over the map): Make use of func_basename
        and func_dirname in most occasions.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_XSI_SHELL, _LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): New
        macros to detect at `configure' time whether the shell supports
        some XSI extensions and to copy appropriate versions of new shell
        functions into `libtool' through `config.status'.  Copied
        functions are Bourne and XSI variants of func_basename,
        func_dirname (a variant of `dirname' suitable for libtool).
        (_LT_SETUP): Require _LT_CHECK_XSI_SHELL.
        (_LT_CONFIG):  Use _LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS to insert into `libtool'
        at marker.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Set marker for insertion of shell functions.

        * config/general.m4sh (func_quote_for_eval): Only fork if the
        substitution matches.

2004-12-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * TODO: Paste Peter's summary of the TODO thread starting at
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2004-11/msg00130.html.

2004-12-02  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Remove code which is no longer needed
        now that temp_rpath only contains fully-qualified elements.

2004-11-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/general.m4sh: basename sed-subst is anchored and thus
        does not need the `g' flag.
        (func_quote_for_eval): Return both the possibly double-quoted
        backslashified as well as only the backslashified argument.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Use both return values,
        to save another sed_quote_subst application per cmdline arg.

2004-11-29  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_lalib_p): Update function
        description.
        (func_lalib_unsafe_p): New function with same functionality but
        written without forks; this function is safe to use for cases
        where the argument either does not exist or is required to be a
        lalib for correct operation.
        * NEWS: Mention the fact that stdin is not to be used.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_execute, func_mode_install)
        (func_mode_link): Use func_lalib_unsafe_p where appropriate.
        (func_mode_execute): For the program wrapper, use
        func_ltwrapper_p instead of func_lalib_p.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS): Treat linux-dietlibc with
        the `diet' compiler wrapper (as opposed to the `diet-dyn' wrapper)
        as a static-only platform.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (trim): Use memcpy instead of strncpy here, to
        avoid problems with non-conforming strncpy.  This is safe here.

        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_LIB_DLLOAD): Define HAVE_LIBDLLOADER if we
        have a dlloader to preload.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlinit): Only preload if HAVE_LIBDLLOADER, only
        declare preloaded_symbols then.  Fixes libltdl on static platforms.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-11-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add a search path option to libtoolize so that we can run it from
        the testsuite without pulling in the last installed macros and
        ltdl sources:

        * libtoolize.m4sh:  Add a -I option to change libtoolize's search
        path for macro files, and libltdl master sources.
        (pkgvdatadir, pkgvmacrodir): Renamed...
        (pkgvdatadirs, pkgvmacrodirs): ...as they can now contain a ':'
        delimited list of directories.  Adjust all callers.
        (func_copy_all_from_path): New function to search a ':' delimited
        search path for a directory to copy.
        (func_serial_update, func_ltmain_update, func_config_update): New
        first parameter is a filename to search for.  srcdir parameter can
        now be a ':' delimited search path.  Adjust all callers.
        (func_copy_some_files): Ditto.
        Put srcfile_spec first in parameter list for consistency with
        other functions.  Adjust all callers.
        (func_copy_cb): func_copy adapter function to call func_copy
        correctly from func_copy_some_files.
        (func_filename_path_search): Return the full path to the first
        occurence of a named file found in a list of directories.
        * tests/testsuite.at (LIBTOOLIZE): Wrap exported LIBTOOLIZE
        initialisation in PREPARE_TESTS diversion to stop it being
        discarded when testsuite is generated.
        (AT_LIBTOOLIZE): Factor out libtoolize calls,
        and set search path to find macros and libltdl source files from
        the source tree.
        (AT_CHECK_LIBTOOLIZE): Test it.
        (AT_BOOTSTRAP): Adjust.  Split out call to make.
        * tests/am-subdir.at: Call make explicitly.
        (Makefile.am): Fix typo in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS,

2004-11-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): $dlsymsobj is really
        $symfileobj, bug exposed only in the static preloading case
        (symfileobj is created, but not linked into output).

        * tests/demo-relink.test, tests/depdemo-relink.test: SKIP, don't
        FAIL if no shared libs available in demo/.  Do not try to access
        nonexistent files.

        * libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c: Remove unneeded
        file-static variable.

2004-11-27  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Add fully-qualified paths to temp_rpath
        rather than unqualified paths in order to avoid possible errors
        when computing the fully-qualified path later.

2004-11-24  Jeff Squyres  <jsquyres@lam-mpi.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_COMPILER_PIC, _LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [linux]: Support for Portland Group (aka
        "pgi") compilers.
        * NEWS, THANKS: Updated.

2004-11-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am: Move Autotest rules from here...
        * tests/Makefile.am: ...to here.
        * bootstrap: Adjust.  Also, create temporary Makefile from
        tests/Makefile.am so that bootstrap can create the Autotest
        testsuite.

2004-11-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        If the user's login shell is something crazy like, oooh,
        /bin/tcsh, trying to execute bourne shell helper scripts with
        the `$SHELL /path/to/helper $helper_flags' idiom incase the
        execute bits were lost by say, eeer, cvs, is gonna blow up in
        our faces.  This changeset tries to save these people from
        their shells^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hmselves :->

        * tests/defs.m4sh (SHELL): Move definition from here...
        * config/general.m4sh (SHELL): ...to here.

2004-11-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The ltdl.h header is the published interface to libltdl, and
        is thus not installed to $prefix/include/libltdl.  It has always
        been used with `#include <ltdl.h>', so move just that one file
        back to where it was before:

        * libltdl/libltdl/ltdl.h: Moved from here...
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: ...to here.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: Adjust.

2004-11-23  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        Do not require that libtoolize --ltdl=/some/path end in libltdl.
        Move most libltdl headers to libtldl/libltdl to allow
        `#include <libltdl/ltdl.h>' to always work:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: Look for includes
        in the new location.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt__alloc.h, libltdl/libltdl/lt__dirent.h,
        libltdl/libltdl/lt__glibc.h, libltdl/libltdl/lt__private.h,
        libltdl/libltdl/lt_dlloader.h, libltdl/libltdl/lt_error.h,
        libltdl/libltdl/lt_system.h, libltdl/libltdl/ltdl.h,
        libltdl/libltdl/slist.h: Added files, moved from libtdl/.
        * libltdl/lt__alloc.h, libltdl/lt__dirent.h, libltdl/lt__glibc.h,
        libltdl/lt__private.h, libltdl/lt_dlloader.h, libltdl/lt_error.h,
        libltdl/lt_system.h, libltdl/ltdl.h, libltdl/slist.h: Removed, moved
        to libltdl/libltdl.

2004-11-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): s/libtool 1.6/libtool 2.0/.
        (Invoking libtoolize): Fix typo.

2004-11-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_install): Now that func_mktempdir
        has been improved, the default directory template is perfectly
        fine.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Invoking libtoolize): Improve documentation
        for use of ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR.

2004-11-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_TAG_COMPILER): Document that with_gcc is
        tag-dependent.

        * m4/libtool.m4, tests/demo-nopic.test: Undo bogus commit.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link), tests/objectlist.test:
        Make sure the argument to `-objectlist' may contain spaces.

2004-11-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/m4general.m4sh, config/mailnotify.m4sh,
        clcommit.m4sh: Updated from cvs-utils--tla--1.0 to allow
        parallel commits, and use safer tmpfiles.

2004-11-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): Typos.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): Document public macros
        LT_PATHSEP_CHAR, LT_DIRSEP_CHAR, use in path descriptions.

2004-11-18  Daniel Reed  <djr@redhat.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [linux]: Interpret
        `include' statements in toplevel ld.so.conf file.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [cygwin, mingw, pw32]:
        tag-protect setting of ld_shlibs.

2004-11-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): The path separator
        is system-dependent.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Linking static libraries): Typo.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG)
        [aix4/aix5 !ia64]: Set whole_archive_flag_spec to '$convenience'
        so convenience libs are really added to the link cmdline.

2004-11-17  Mats Rynge  <rynge@isi.edu>

        * libtool.m4 [linux]: Use only the CC basename in case statment
        when checking for icc/ecc.  Allows for setting CC to the full path
        to the compiler.

        * libtool.m4 [solaris]: Added missing 'with linker' flags to
        -z allextract ... -z defaultextract flags

2004-11-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From James Henstridge <james@jamesh.id.au>:
        * m4/libtool.m4, m4/ltdl.m4, m4/ltoptions.m4: Added commented out
        empty macro definitions to match each AU_DEFUN to help aclocal

        Sometimes, a wrapper script is generated for an executable that,
        itself, does not link against an uninstalled library.  It appears
        that this can happen if you are building a project where:

          (1) there is a library
          (2) there is an executable that does not, itself, link against
              that library

        In this case, notinst_deplibs is empty, and when the wrapper
        script is loaded by libtool during ./libtool mode=install, there
        is a check for "is notinst_deplibs empty".  In this case, it is,
        so libtool reports an error.

        I don't think it is wrong to have a wrapper script for an exe that
        *technically* doesn't need it.  But instead of checking for
        notinst_deplib nonempty as a proxy for "did wrapper script get
        sourced into my environment properly" a different var should be
        used.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_install): set new variable
        `generated_by_libtool_version' in wrapper script when using
        libtool_install_magic.  When verifying that wrapper script was
        properly sourced, check that `generated_by_libtool_version' is
        non-empty, instead of using notinst_deplibs.

2004-10-21  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>,
            Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): Improve this sed
        expression to correct left anchored \$ input to
        double_quote_subst, as well as backslash escaped $ preceded by
        any odd-numbered amount of \ characters.

2004-10-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): New sed expression

        (func_quote_for_eval): Four space indent margin for functions!
        (func_quote_for_expand): Use $sed_double_backslash.
        (func_show_eval): New function that echos an escaped but variable
        expanded command, and then evaluates it.

2004-10-20  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>,
            Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (sed_quote_subst): Remove superfluous backslashes
        from the match character set.
        (double_quote_subst): Ditto.
        * config/general.m4sh (sed_quote_subst): Ditto.
        (double_quote_subst): New variable, copied from
        m4/libtool.m4. Much the same as sed_quote_subst, but variable
        references are not quoted.
        (func_quote_for_eval): Given any $foo; $bar and
        $foo must be identical after the following commands:
            func_quote_for_eval "$foo"
            eval "bar=$func_quote_for_eval_result"
        (func_quote_for_expand): In a similar vein to to func_quote_for_eval,
        except that variable expansions are not protected when quoting the
        command for subsequent display.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Factor away use of $sed_quote_subst now that
        it has been subsumed into func_quote_for_eval.
        (func_mode_link): Instead of `2004-10-14 Peter O'Gorman' below,
        use func_quote_for_expand so that ${wl} is expanded properly in
        the $show expression.

2004-10-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

2004-10-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add some new tests for Libtool's support of Automake
        subdir-objects builds.  This marks the beginning of a move to an
        Autotest driven test framework, which will eventually allow us to
        trim away many of the generated files in the current test demo
        subdirectories:

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Re-enable commented out
        Autotest macros.
        (AUTOTEST, M4SH): Use --language long hand.
        * bootstrap: Generate tests/testsuite, and by implication
        tests/package.m4.
        * Makefile.am (edit): Add substitutions needed to generate
        tests/package.m4 from bootstrap.
        (check-recursive): Add tests/testsuite.
        (TESTSUITE): The new Autotest testsuite target.
        (TESTSUITE_AT): The Autotest sources.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the generated testsuite and sources.
        (tests/package.m4): Use $(edit) to propagate package metadata to
        the new tests.
        (tests/testsuite): Build the testsuite.
        (tests/atconfig): How to regenerate the file.
        (check-local): Hook Autotest into `make check'.
        (installcheck-local): Run the testsuite on the installed tree.
        (clean-local): Tidy our file droppings.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Remove bitrotted code from Autotest
        experiments in Autoconf 2.52 era.  Updated the rest and moved into
        Makefile.am.
        * tests/testsuite.at: New container for Autotest test groups.
        * tests/am-subdir.at: New test group for compatibility with
        Automake's subdir-objects builds.  Currently holds two tests, one
        for a C project and another similar project in C++.
        * TODO: Add an entry to remind us that these new tests expose a
        bug in libtool.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libraries with undefined symbols, but have no C++ compiler
        installed.
        * tests/Makefile.am (COMMON_TESTS): Add it.

2004-10-13  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Make sure that we $show what we will $run,
        use eval $show if we do $run eval.

2004-10-13  Charles Wilson  <spam.protected>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: add foo/bin for every foo/lib
        in dllsearchpath when creating wrapper script.  Fixes
        depdemo-relink test failure.

2004-10-12  Charles Wilson  <spam.protected>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): don't relink
        on cygwin/mingw; no need.  But do ensure that wrappers
        are created unless doing a purely static build.

2004-10-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/tagdemo-undef.test: New test for hosts that allow shared

        Cygwin.

2004-10-11  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * tests/quote.test: Do not look for $preargs in the output,
        because libtool may change them.

2004-10-10  Charles Wilson  <spam.protected>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Really don't require versions of GNU
        sed newer than 3.02 for Cygwin and MinGW, and don't break
        dryrun mode.

2004-10-10  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * config/getopt.m4sh: Under MinGW, reported paths may include ':'
        so ':' should not be used as the sed delimiter.  Use '*' instead
        since it is very unlikely to appear in a path.

2004-10-10  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        is present), then build them.

2004-10-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Fix some issues that mangled the reexecution path to a script,
        and thus prevented it from finding itself:

        * config/general.m4sh (progname): Don't actually change the name
        of the script if it begins with a `-', just prepend `./'.
        (progpath): Add a new clause that first searches the execution
        PATH, and then finally assumes this script is in the current
        working directory if $progname has no directory separators (e.g
        when invoked as `$SHELL progname').

        * tests/pdemo-inst.test: pdemo-inst should depend on pdemo-make.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Windows and Cygwin reserve the .lnk
        extension to represent shortcuts.  Use the extension ".lnkscript"
        rather than ".lnk" for the piecewise linking ld script in order to
        avoid the conflict.

        _LT_DECL descriptions were not being escaped before injection into
        TAG CONFIG here documents in config.status.

2004-10-06  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_CXX, _LT_PROG_F77): New macros to work
        around the deficiencies in AC_PROG_CXX and AC_PROG_F77.
        * configure.ac: Cleaned up, having moved the checks for compilers
        which do not exist to libtool.m4.

        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-10-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Without this change, the distributed libtool tarball has a
        dependency on autom4te.  There was some inconsistency in the
        filenames: now we have foo.m4sh -> m4sh -> foo.in -> configure
        -> foo[.sh].  Bootstrap runs the m4sh steps and the resulting .in
        files are distributed:

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute defs.m4sh.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute libtoolize.m4sh.
        (libtoolize.in, libtoolize): Split into bootstrap and runtime
        stages.
        ($(top_srcdir)/tests/defs.in, $(top_srcdir)/tests/defs): Ditto.
        ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Swap ltmain.m4sh and ltmain.in

        tests work properly for me again.

2004-10-02  Jim Tison  <jtison@us.ibm.com>

        Initial support for s390x-ibm-tpf:

        e.g. the quoting of the -export-symbols-regex argument in .la
        files' relink_command.

        * libltdl/lt__alloc.c (lt__memdup): Allocation can fail, so we
        need to guard against null pointer dereference here.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlcaller_register): Ditto.

        * libltdl/slist.c (slist_foreach): result was declared as
        inner variable, shadowing the actually returned value.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (load_deplibs, try_dlopen): Cast argument
        to isspace/isalnum to the correct range.  Also, cast to int to
        avoid compiler warnings.

2004-09-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Fix null pointer dereference in

        * m4/libtool.m4 (hardcode_shlibpath_var) [darwin7]: My Panther
        workstation doesn't hardcode the shared library path, although it
        used to, so this is more likely a function of the binutils and/or
        gcc I am using at the moment.  The hardcode value setting code for

        possible -e entries in LDFLAGS.

2004-09-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): When linking an installed
        libtool library on the command line using -lfoo we need to find

        argument, which breaks when ECHO='printf %s\n', and with possible
        `-' as first character of the argument, which breaks `print -r'
        and some implementations of `echo'.

        Since defs can change (path to grep for example) when it is made
        for a different host, it can't be shipped.  That also means that
        defs will always be generated in the build tree, so each test case
        can have the srcdir discovery factored away into tests/defs.in:

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): s/defs/defs.in/g

2004-09-22  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        The dlpreopen pass over libraries reverses the elements in the
        $deplibs list.  This causes problems when the link pass tries to
        find libraries when they are located in non-standard places
        denoted by -L options.  Due to the reversed order these -L options
        occur after the libraries that need them, and they are not found:

        * config/ltmain.in: (Un)Reverse $deplibs list at the start of the
        link pass in lib mode.

2004-09-22  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@spam.protected>

        * ltmain.in (func_generate_dlsyms) [cygwin, mingw]: when creating
        a .exp file for an executable, also create a .def file, and add
        that file to the link command via SYMFILES.  This causes binutils
        to generate an .edata section, and allows self dlopening to work.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): better quoting for
        postinstall_cmds and postuninstall_cmds to allow spaces in install
        paths.

        * config/ltmain.in (func_generate_dlsyms): Addresses in
        _preloaded_symbols[] cannot go into .rdata section if symbols are
        DATA imported from DLL, on windows, because runtime relocations
        must happen.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS([TAGNAME])): Build exports for
        symbols in .rdata sections.

2004-09-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The checks in assign.test are trying to catch case of this ilk:
        `foo=bar break', but unfortunately they also choke on `foo=bar;
        break' and `foo=bar && break'.  Writing a sophisticated test to
        catch just the intended case seems like more trouble than it's
        worth, but leaving the test in causes the testsuite to fail on
        valid m4sh output:

        * tests/assign.test: Removed; chokes on perfectly valid shell
        syntax.
        * tests/Makefile.am (COMMON_TESTS): Remove assign.test.
        * tests/defs.in (scripts): Don't check the m4sh inputs, go back
        to checking the generated ltmain.sh script.

2004-09-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_echo): Except for multi-line warnings and
        errors, always use func_echo.  $show is for command output, and
        $echo is for internal use in backtick expressions and similar.

2004-09-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Missed a couple of MKDIR_P references in ltmain.in in my last
        patch; fix them carefully.  Introduce an opt_dry_run to ltmain.in
        so that the implementations of func_mkdir_p can converge, and a
        func_mktempdir to do a better job of temporary directory creation:

        * libtoolize.in (func_mkdir_p): Don't fail if the directory wasn't
        created in dry run mode.
        * tests/defs (func_mkdir_p): Ditto.  We don't actually have a dry
        run mode for the tests, but the function is written carefully to
        be kept in synch and work correctly here too.
        * config/ltmain.in (func_mkdir_p): Ditto.  This copy of the
        function now only differs in its use of $echo over $ECHO.
        (func_extract_archive): Removed first redundant mkdir call.
        (func_mktempdir): New function that tries to avoid races when
        making temporary directories.
        (opt_dry_run): Set this if --dry-run is given at the CLI, or if
        tests/mdemo-dryrun.test has forced the value of $run.
        (func_mode_install): Call $MKDIR directly and error out if the
        directory cannot be created.
        (func_mode_link): Rather than copying func_mkdir_p into the
        wrapper script as a replacement for $MKDIR_P, we know that the
        script won't be called my `make -j', so write the current value of
        $MKDIR.

2004-09-17  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: remove an extra "]"

        * m4/libtool.m4 [darwin] (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Changes for 10.4.
        * config/libtool.in [darwin]: ditto.

2004-09-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        My most recent `2004-09-02 Gary V. Vaughan' patch for mkdir_p
        below is horrendously broken since it makes the installed libtool
        try to run the mkinstalldirs or install-sh helper scripts.  This
        patch fixes the `make -j' mkdir race condition internally:

        * libtoolize.in (func_mkdir_p): New slice and dice algorithm
        to build the directory tree one dir at a time, ignoring errors
        until the end incase they are transient due to a concurrent
        identical mkdir.
        * tests/defs (func_mkdir_p): Ditto.
        * config/ltmain.in (func_mkdir_p): Ditto, except that ltmain.in
        uses $echo rather than $ECHO, and uses $show and $run to interact
        correctly with the command line.
        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): 1.8 is sufficient again.
        * Makefile.am (edit): Don't substitute automake's $(mkdir_p).
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-09-15  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c: Compilation fixes (originally
        from Gary V. Vaughan) to compile under MinGW.
        * config/mkstamp: Translate input data so that it is assured to
        use the Unix line terminations. This is necessary under Windows if
        the files are checked out with CR/NL line terminations. A
        side-effect of this change is that input must always be from
        stdin. Previously a filename argument was accepted as well.

2004-09-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/Makefile.am: Use the same CPP, F77, CXX and CXXFLAGS
        for the test suite.

2004-09-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_ENABLE_LOCK):Replace AC_TRY_LINK with

        * config/ltmain.in (func_quote_for_eval): Set a return value to
        avoid forking at every call.  Changed all callers.
        (func_mode_link): Simplified, and removed the final non-portable
        nested escaped double quotes in back quotes usage in the process.

2004-09-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_quote_for_eval): Factor out the ugly

2004-09-14  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        Unfortunately, libtool has no way of telling if unrecognized
        compiler flags need an argument or not, and can disect options and
        pass parts through incorrectly.  This changeset reverts both
        2004-09-06 Albert Chin-A-Young (topmost) and 2004-09-05 Albert
        Chin-A-Young below, and recognises more options explicitly:

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Pass through options needed
        to compile in 64-bit mode with gcc, and the SGI, Sun, HP and IBM
        compilers.

2004-09-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBALS_SYMBOLS): Fix a typo I made when
        applying 2004-09-11 Ralf Wildenhues.

        * libtool.m4: Fixes for the OpenBSD support

2004-09-12  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        Our fortran tests were not very good. All the libraries created
        were convenience libs, so we did not test the creation of shared
        libraries on any platform. Also none of the libs used any actual
        fortran library calls, adding a call to write(*,*) in each lib
        causes the tests to fail on darwin (and presumably other platforms).
        These new tests would likely cause many more fortran test failures,
        so if there is an error during make it is reported as SKIP.

        * tests/f77demo-make.test: Don't fail hard, skip on failure.
        * tests/f77demo/foof2.f: New file.
        * tests/f77demo/foof3.f: New file.
        * tests/f77demo/fprogram.f: Call routine in new lib.
        * tests/f77demo/foof.f: Call routine in another new lib.
        * tests/f77demo/Makefile.am: Make a couple of new libraries, add
        $(FLIBS) to cprogram LDADD.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): The linker distinguishes
        data and code symbols on linux-gnu/ia64.  Fixes multiple testsuite
        failures.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-09-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/loaders/shl_load.c (get_vtable): Typo.

2004-09-06  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        Hopefully, passing unrecognised compiler arguments through
        unmolested will prove to be a good plan for the 2.0 release.  If
        it goes awry, we can get back to where we were by reverting this
        patch and the 2004-09-05 Albert Chin-A-Young patch, aka
        gary@gnu.org--2004/libtool--devo--1.0--patch-169,172:

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Because we now pass through
        compiler arguments we doesn't recognize, the code to pass
        through GCC's -m* arguments is not needed.

2004-09-06  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * Makefile.am (clean-ltmain-sh): Using '==' to test for equality
        in a shell script is not portable. Use '=' instead.

2004-09-05  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_WITH_LTDL): Remove excess quoting in argument of
        AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.

2004-09-05  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Pass otherwise unrecognised +
        and - style switches to the compiler.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-09-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (libtool): Force libtool to be regenerated if
        stamp-vcl has changed.

2004-09-05  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4, config/ltmain.in: When calling $LTCC,
        pass default $CFLAGS through with $LTCFLAGS.

2004-09-03  David Edelsohn  <dje@watson.ibm.com>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Use $pic_object as
        $non_pic_object if $non_pic_object=none.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-09-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Remember that the ltmain.sh generated by bootstrap
        is missing most of its substitution values, so force it to be
        rebuilt at make time by touching $(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.in.

        From Martin Quinson <mquinson@ens-lyon.fr>
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SETUP, _LT_ENABLE_LOCK, LT_PATH_LD): Use
        AS_HELP_STRING to get rid of autoconf -Wobsolete warning
        messages.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_WITH_LTDL, _LT_ENABLE_INSTALL): Ditto.
        * m4/ltoptions.m4 (_LT_ENABLE_SHARED, _LT_ENABLE_STATIC)
        (_LT_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL, _LT_WITH_PIC): Ditto.
        * TODO: Updated

2004-09-03  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/slist.c (slist_cons): Don't leak the tail of a list.

2004-09-03  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_ENABLE_LOCK): Reformatted.

2004-09-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * HACKING: Explain how to verify detached signatures with gpg in
        the release announcement templates.

        * AUTHORS: Fix typo in my address.

2004-09-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>,

        Builds of packages that use libtool and make -j produce "directory
        already exists warnings" for .lib directory.  Build on automake
        wisdom to support make -j builds where a suitable mkdir is
        available:

        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require 1.9, which goes to some
        trouble to find a $(mkdir_p) that doesn't interfere with make -j.
        * Makefile.am (edit): Substitute for @mkdir_p@.
        * config/ltmain.in (MKDIR_P): Take @mkdir_p@ value.
        (mkdir): Removed.
        (func_mkdir_p): New function to use $MKDIR_P.  Factor out all
        previous mkdir calls to use this function.
        (RM, MV): Declared as in libtoolize.in.  Changed all callers.
        * libtoolize.in (MKDIR_P): Take @mkdir_p@ value from automake.
        (func_mkdir_p): Use it, similarly to new config/ltmain.in.
        * tests/defs: Synchronize boiler plate code with ltmain.in.
        Adjust all callers.
        Add missing copyright preamble.
        * tests/demo-static.test: Add missing copyright preamble.
        * NEWS: Updated.
        Reported by Daniel Reed <n@ml.org>

2004-09-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>,

        * Makefile.am (clean-ltmain-sh): Quote $(top_builddir) for the
        shell, incase it is not set when running maintainer rules with
        `make -fMakefile.maint'.
        Don't show the shell commands.

        * AUTHORS: Fix my email address.

2004-09-02  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Fix memory leak.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-09-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>,
            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/slist.c, libltdl/slist.h: Merge in changes from latest
        upstream.  Mostly comments, formal item boxing, a sort function,
        and const madness reduction.
        (slist_new): Removed.
        (slist_box, slist_unbox, slist_sort): New.
        (SListCompare, SListCallback): Swapped!
        (slist_remove, slist_find): Change order of parameters for
        orthogonality with slist_foreach.  Changed all callers.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (loader_cmp): Renamed to...
        (loader_callback): ...this.  Return boxed item.
        (lt_dlloader_remove): Adjust to new loader_callback semantics;
        unbox each removed item before returning.
        Remove unused variable.
        Remove const from name parameter, since the slist API cannot
        guarantee userdata const-ancy for its callback functions.
        (lt_dlloader_find): Adjust to new loader_callback semantics; need
        to return the contents of the boxed item.
        Remove const from name parameter, since the slist API cannot
        guarantee userdata const-ancy for its callback functions.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader_find, lt_dlloader_remove):
        Adjust to new constless footprint.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (ltdl_exit): The global `loaders' list is changed
        by `lt_dlloader_remove' while cleaning up, so the address in local
        variable `loader' is invalidated.  Since some loaders may be
        resident modules that cannot be unloaded (though we have none
        yet), we must save each `next' address before calling
        `lt_dlloader_remove'.
        * NEWS: Updated.
        * THANKS: Added Ralf.

2004-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (lt_dlloader_add): Handle malloc failure
        from slist_new.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (loader_init): Trust lt_dlloader_add(), don't
        overwrite its error type, and simplify.

2004-09-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/slist.c (slist_new): Handle malloc failure gracefully.

2004-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in, config/ltmain.in: Add CDPATH protection to
        preamble.
        * tests/defs: Put a full m4sh.m4 style 'Be Bourne compatible'
        preamble in here too.
        * HACKING: Note that tests/defs needs synching with m4sh.m4 too.
        * TODO: Add new item.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen, lt_dlforeachfile): Use correct cpp
        macro name, LT_DLSEARCH_PATH.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit, tryall_dlopen): Fix gcc parentheses
        warning.
        (foreach_dirinpath, try_dlopen, lt_dlpath_insertdir): Fix gcc
        signed vs unsigned warning.
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_LTMAIN): Simplified in light of
        ltmain.sh no longer being in the build tree.
        Reported by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2004-09-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/loaders/preopen.c: Initialise memory in get_vtable.

        * tests/sh.test: Look in the source tree for ltmain.sh.

2004-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Don't use C99 flexible array types as we want to be C89
        compatible.  Instead, revert to the old way of doing things with
        an array of symbol name vs. address, and adding the originator as
        the first symbol but with a NULL address:

        * config/ltmain.in (func_extract_dlsyms): Store originator as a
        NULL address symbol.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlsymbol): Removed.
        (lt_dlsymlist): Remove originator field.
        (LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): Adjust.
        * libltdl/loaders/preopen.c (vm_open, lt_dlpreload_open): Adjust
        for new types.
        (vm_sym): Skip the new originator symbol when scanning symbol
        names.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Adjust preloaded symbols
        test file to match.
        * NEWS: Updated.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

2004-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Libtool currently assumes that certain characteristics, such as
        enable_shared, apply to the host architecture rather than per-
        language.  Running the tests over a broken compiler can corrupt
        these values, when there is no C++ compiler for example, so we
        skip most of the tests in those cases.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): If caught_CXX_compiler was
        set from configure.ac, then don't run all the compiler tests.
        (_LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Similarly for caught_F77_compiler.

2004-08-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (clean-ltmain-sh): Remove stale config/ltmain.sh
        from the build tree that were left behind by previous versions of
        libtool.
        ($top_srcdir)/stamp-vcl: Since this rule is already called on
        every invocation of make, hook clean-ltmain-sh in here too.
        Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2004-08-31  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * bootstrap: Update warning message to reflect having split
        libtool.m4 into several files.
        Also, add config/ltmain.sh to list of stale files from previous
        versions to be removed before bootstrap.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Replace strdup with lt__strdup.

2004-08-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in: Double quote even $# for the sake of sh.test.
        (exec_cmd): Be careful about "`\"foo\"`" quoting, even in comments
        to avoid triggering the tests in sh.test.

        * configure.ac:  Because of the way the autoconf C++ testing
        works, we need to call the C test first to work in an environment
        that has no C++ compiler.

        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (lt_dlloader_remove): Since the return
        value of this function is often passed to free, don't declare it
        `const'. Responsibility for this memory is given back to the
        caller on return.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader_remove): Ditto.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Adjust.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-08-30  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Remove lvalue cast.

        * libltdl/slist.h (SListCallback): Fix missing type.

        * config/ltmain.in: Accept --mode=relink.

2004-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        config/texinfo.tex: Updated from canonical source.
        * Makefile.maint, HACKING: Update instructions for releasing in a
        VPATH build.

        * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Only run if README-alpha exists.
        * README.alpha: Renamed from README-alpha to stop automake from
        automatically adding it to DIST_COMMON.

        * NEWS: Merge changes from branch-1-5.

        * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Always distribute just a README file,
        but take its contents from README-alpha for alpha releases.

        * TODO: Reformat.  Removed some items that have been implemented.

2004-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add a new `-weak' flag to tell libtool when not to propogate
        dependency libraries from dlpreopened modules to libraries:

        * config/ltmain.in: Support new -weak link mode option.  Adjust
        help message.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdlc_la_LDFLAGS): Use it.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Linking with dlopened modules): Document it.
        (Link mode): Mention -weak.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (opt_help): Defer showing help messages until
        after a possible following --mode argument has been parsed, so we
        can handle `libtool --help --mode=foo'.

2004-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        We have had shell functions in ltmain.in for a few years without
        complaint now, and recently a few more have crept in.  Make a
        start at refactoring the code with shell functions, and
        standardising on option parsing style:

        * config/ltmain.in (func_echo, func_verbose, func_error)
        (func_fatal_error, func_fatal_help, func_missing_arg)
        (func_version, func_usage, func_help): Boiler plate shell
        functions mostly copied from libtoolize.in.  Changed *lots* of
        shell snippets to call these functions as appropriate, rather than
        inlining the same code over and over.
        (func_config, func_features, func_enable_tag, func_mode_help):
        Factored out from the shared option parsing loop.  Write a new
        shared option parser based on the one in libtoolize.in.
        (func_check_version_match): Factored out from global scope.
        (func_mode_compile, func_mode_execute, func_mode_finish)
        (func_mode_install, func_mode_link, func_mode_uninstall): Break
        each of the top level mode handlers out into a function.  Adjust
        main loop.
        (modename, prevopt, prev, optarg, show_help): Removed in the
        course of cleaning up the shared option parser.
        (opt_duplicate_deps): Use `:' and `false' instead of `yes' and `',
        so we can run it directly, rather than calling test.

2004-08-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        To help users submit better bug reports, improve the general
        instructions, and provide additional useful info alongside the bug
        reporting address in --help output:

        * Makefile.am (edit): Substitute $host_triplet.
        * libtoolize.in: Output useful debug info with --help.
        * config/ltmain.in: Ditto.
        * README: Rewritten.  Added copyright info.
        * README-alpha: Rewritten.  Added copyright info.
        * HACKING: New file, partly taken from old README-alpha.

2004-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Two things to stop `make distcheck' from trying to rebuild
        distributed files (m4/ltversion.m4 and config/ltmain.in) in the
        readonly source tree:

        * Makefile.am (stamp-vcl): Keep only one copy of stamp-vcl; in
        $(top_srcdir), so that an up-to-date version is rolled into the
        dist tarball even from a VPATH build.
        ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Don't depend on Makefile,
        otherwise ltmain.sh needs to be rebuilt after every config.status
        run, and then configure needs to be rebuilt, and it all goes
        horribly wrong :-/  Unfortunately, we can't depend on Makefile.am
        either, because that is a circular dependency.  The downside of
        this change is that it is now possible to edit Makefile.am to
        change the way ltmain.sh is generated, and the dependency
        information can't tell that ltmain.sh needs regenerating.

2004-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Cheap tricks): Escape the `@' for texinfo.

2004-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Cheap tricks): Fix the instructions for making
        a ltmain.in wrapping libtool in light of recent changes to the
        version checking code.

2004-08-26  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * config/ltmain.in [darwin]: Use the -dylib_file flag and avoid
        linking to so many libraries on darwin.

        * m4/libtool.m4 [darwin]: Don't use a libname triplet, a couplet
        is perfectly fine.

        * m4/ltdl.m4: Don't use the dyld loader on darwin 8 or later.

2004-08-25  Paolo Bonzini  <bonzini@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (piecewise linking): Use a GNU ld script if
        possible.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS): Add per-tag variable
        with_gnu_ld.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Don't set unused variable with_gnu_ldcxx.

2004-08-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The Grand Renaming.  In preparation for libtool-2.0, move all of
        the many and varied m4 symbols accumulated by libtool over the
        years, considering also that modern autoconf can detect unexpanded
        macros even without AC in the macro name:

        * bootstrap: Remove libltdl/config.h from previous releases.
        * m4/libtool.m4, m4/ltdl.m4, doc/libtool.texi: Basically, run a

2004-08-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Depends on

        (timestamp): Factor out timestamp setting and edit it based on the
        version number, so that it is empty for release versions.
        ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Use it.
        (libtoolize): Ditto.

        (libtoolize): Set and substitute TIMESTAMP.

        * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Actually run

        Forgot to save before my last commit :-(

        * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/m4/ltversion.m4): Since we already did

        relative $(top_srcdir) again!  Also, run $(MKSTAMP) before changing

2004-07-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Although libtool is optimised to not need to subconfigure libltdl,
        the installed libltdl sources for libtoolize need to put
        libltdl/configure.ac in the parent package so that *it* can
        subconfigure libltdl.  That way we don't put any constraints on
        the build system used by the parent package because the
        libtoolized libltdl subtree is a self-contained sub-project:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add configure.ac.
        (nobase_ltdldata_DATA): Change back to libltdl's own
        configure.ac.

2004-07-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        My thanks to Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org> for the insight
        required to write this changeset -- especially that ltmain.sh is
        the same on any machine for a given release, which I hadn't
        noticed for some bizarre reason: It turns out that generating
        distributed files from configure causes no end of hassle, as
        evidenced by the many patches I've generated over the last few
        days to try and get the dist and distcheck make rules to work.
        Instead of all that hair, we now simply generate our distributed
        files (now including ltmain.sh) with make rules -- and since
        automake creates make variables for all AC_SUBSTs, that is really
        easy.  The code looks a lot more like automake and autoconf
        Makefile.ams now, and doesn't have all the rough edges the earlier
        hacky solution suffered from.  We still generate libtool from
        config.status, but that is not a distributed file, and doesn't
        break the golden rule.  Besides, there is way more going on there
        than a bunch of substitutions:

        * Makefile.am (edit): New common sed substitutions for files now
        generated by make instead of config.status.
        (CLEANFILES): Clean new tmp files.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add ltmain.sh.
        (vcl-tmp): Reinstated.
        (m4/ltversion.m4, config/ltmain.sh): New rules.  Generate from
        here instead of config.status.
        (libtoolize): Ditto.
        (libtool): Call config.status to regenerate if necessary.
        (dist-hook): Removed.
        * config/ltmain.in: Moved here from top_srcdir.
        * README-alpha: Update instructions to check AS_SHELL_SANITIZE is
        up to date.
        * bootstrap: Rewritten.  Generate m4/ltversion.m4 and
        config/ltmain.sh because configure depends on them.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): Use libtoolize.in now that
        ltmain.in has moved.
        (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Don't generate distributed files,
        config/ltmain.sh and libtoolize from config.status.  We have make
        rules to do that now.

2004-07-30  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in: readd the comments that I erased.

        * ltmain.in [darwin]: We already had a module var, there can be
        only one.

        * m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in: autoconf now says the best thing to do
        with CDPATH is to (unset CDPATH) >/dev/null 2>&1 && unset CDPATH,
        so do it.

2004-07-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Ugh. More hair to
        help `make distcheck'; not only do we have to make a copy of
        ltmain.sh available in the source tree, but we have to be really
        careful about permission bit twiddling when we copy it across into
        the possible read-only $(top_srcdir)/config directory!

        * tests/tagtrace.test: Skip this test when running a VPATH build
        against a read-only source tree (as in distcheck for example),
        since autoconf wants to write temporary files in $top_srcdir
        otherwise.

        * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Automake assumes,
        quite rightly for every project except libtool, that there will be
        an ltmain.sh in the source tree.
        (EXTRA_DIST): As do the dist rules it generates.
        (dist-hook): Even though we definitely don't want to distribute
        our local ltmain.sh.

        * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Don't check these in,
        they cause spurious conflicts on cvs commit and update, and are
        added by bootstrap in any case.

        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Revert an accidental commit from my
        testing of package_revision.

2004-07-29  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Tags): Document CC.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SETUP): Register CC as supported tag so that
        Automake uses it.

2004-07-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Fix a long-standing bug where macro_version was always empty in
        the generated m4/ltversion.m4.  Except for CVS revisions:

        * ltmain.in (package_revision): Don't try to deduce it from
        TIMESTAMP, since that is empty for release versions; simply
        substitute it...
        * configure.ac (package_revision): ...from here, having
        precalculated it before resetting TIMESTAMP for release versions.
        * bootstrap: Force regeneration of m4/ltversion.m4, but retain
        timestamps if there is no change to the content.

2004-07-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        To take full advantage of this, libtool must be bootstrapped with
        CVS autoconf, otherwise pdksh chokes on some nested escaped quotes
        from libtool.m4.  Using CVS autoconf protects configure from
        non-bourne compatible shells in the same way this changeset
        protects libtool and libtoolize:

        * libtoolize.in: Include latest CVS autoconf AS_SHELL_SANITIZE
        expansion to make various shells fully bourne compatible.
        * ltmain.in: Ditto.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PATH_TOOL_PREFIX): Remove spurious quotes, the
        RHS of = assignment is not IFS split.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Ditto.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_POSTDEP_PREDEP): Ditto.

2004-07-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        This change fixes another VPATH build bug, where the vcl.tmp
        target forced a rebuild of stamp-vcl in the build tree (and
        hence regeneration of m4/ltversion.m4, thus an automake driven
        rebootstrap that doesn't know about $fakes) requiring a fresh
        ./bootstrap after every cvs/tla update:

        * Makefile.am (vcl.tmp): Removed.
        (stamp-vcl): Adopt former vcl.tmp target rules.

2004-07-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Make sure that dependency libraries of -dlpreopened
        libraries are propogated properly.

2004-07-23  Joe Orton  <joe@manyfish.co.uk>

        * libtool.m4: Treat bsdi5* like bsdi4*.

2004-07-22  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in [darwin](func_extract_archives): $SED not sed.

        * ltmain.in [darwin](func_extract_archives): Clean up last commit
        a little, some suggestions are from Albert Chin, those that are
        broken are mine.

        * libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: Look for
        included files in the right places.

2004-07-18  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in [darwin](func_extract_archives): Because fat archives
        on darwin can not be extracted using ar, we need to use lipo to
        extract the thin archives and then use lipo again to generate the
        individual fat objects. This should allow people to run configure
        with CC set to "cc -arch ppc -arch ppc64" or "cc -arch ppc -arch
        i386" or whatever to match the toolchain they have available.

2004-07-18  Greg Eisenhauer  <eisen@cc.gatech.edu>

        * libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: Use AM_MAKEFLAGS not MAKEFLAGS.

2004-07-18  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am: Ensure that lt__dirent.h is part of the dist,
        also make failed looking for configure.ac, look for
        $(top_srcdir)/configure.ac instead.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/lt__private.h (lt_dlhandle_struct): Renamed to
        lt__handle to better reflect the naming scheme.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlhandle): Be truly opaque with a void *.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (lt_dlloader_remove): Party to
        lt__private.h, so use internal lt__handle instead of opaque
        lt_dlhandle.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LT_DLGET_FLAG, LT_DLSET_FLAG): Add a cast to
        internal lt__handle type.
        (try_dlopen, tryall_dlopen, load_deplibs, unload_deplibs): Ditto.
        (lt_dlexit, lt_dlclose, lt_dlsym): Use lt__handle to iterate
        throught the handle list.
        (try_dlopen): Use lt__zalloc instead of MALLOC and memset.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlcaller_id): Be truly opaque with a void *.
        (lt_dlhandle_interface): New callback type for filtering handles
        according to the interface they present.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlcaller_register): Take an id and an
        interface check callback, and generate a caller_id.
        (iterator): New static variable for the use of...
        (lt_dlhandle_first): New function.  Set the iterator for
        subsequent calls to lt_dlhandle_next.
        (lt_dlhandle_next): Either work as before when iterator is unset,
        or else skip handles that fail the interface check in iterator set
        by lt_dlhandle_first.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlhandle_first): Declaration.
        * doc/libtool.texi (User defined module data): Document the new
        APIs.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Split lt_dlloader management into a separate file, and factor
        `loaders' list management into a new SList ADT.  In the process,
        the API for writing loaders is a little cleaner, so all the
        existing loaders were tweaked to take advantage of that:

        * libltdl/slist.h, libltdl/slist.c: New files implementing a
        generic singly linked list container ADT.  The ADT is purely
        internal, and none of its API's are visible from an installed
        libltdl.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader): Removed next field again
        :-) Renamed to lt_dlvtable for API.  Changed all callers.
        (lt_dlloader_get): New function to turn an lt_dlloader into its
        associated lt_dlvtable.
        (lt_dlloader_add): Removed unused data parameter.  The caller
        data belongs to (and is set by) the loader itself, not the
        loader's client.  Changed all callers.
        (lt_dlloader_name, lt_dlloader_data): Removed.  Use
        lt_dlloader_get instead!
        * libltdl/lt__private.h: Include slist.h.
        (lt__alloc_die_callback): Add missing LT_SCOPE to declaration.
        (lt_dlhandle_struct): Use lt_dlvtable instead of opaque
        lt_dlloader.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Rewritten for the new loader API.
        (loaders, lt_dlloader_add, lt_dlloader_remove, lt_dlloader_next,
        lt_dlloader_find): Moved from here...
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c ((loaders, lt_dlloader_add,
        lt_dlloader_remove, lt_dlloader_next, lt_dlloader_find): ...to
        here.  And rewritten in terms of new SList interface.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit, tryall_dlopen): Rewritten in terms of
        new lt_dlloader interface.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libdlloader_la_SOURCES): Add slist.h and
        slist.c.  Move lt_dlloader.h from here...
        (pkginclude_HEADERS): ...to here.
        (libltdl_la_SOURCES): Add lt_dlloader.c and lt_dlloader.h.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Collapse two almost identical structures into one:

        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader): Add next field.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_user_dlloader): Remove entirely.  Change all
        callers to use lt_dlloader instead.  Add a compatibility macro.
        (lt_dlloader_add): Remove copy and allocate stage, just hook
        directly into the loaders list.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        A cleaner way to access the private fields of an lt_dlhandle
        than my move of the module field into lt_dlinfo:

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_caller_data, lt_dlhandle_struct): Move from
        here...
        * libltdl/lt__private.h (lt_caller_data, lt_dlhandle_struct):
        ...to here.  And put the module field back here...
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlinfo): ...instead of here.
        * libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c (vm_open): Adjust.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/lt__private.h (streq, strneq): New macros to make strcmp
        calls as used for simple comparison easier to read.
        * libltdl/loaders/dyld.c, libltdl/loaders/preopen.c,
        libltdl/ltdl.c: Use them!

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        This pervasive changeset makes two intertwined deep changes to the
        operation of libtool (neither would work alone).  First, there is
        a new feature that allows libraries to preopen modules.  This
        entails a backwards incompatible change to the libltdl API for
        separating out the preloaded symbol lists by owner.  Second, in
        the tradition of "eating our own dogfood", libltdl now preloads
        its own dlloaders.  The internal API for dlloaders has also had to
        change in a backwards incompatible way in support of the new
        library preloading feature.  If you don't use preloaded libraries,
        you needn't change your project sources, though you will need to
        recompile against the new libltdl.  The API changes are mostly
        confined to dlloaders, so you probably needn't worry about those
        (unless you have written a custom loader that you want libltdl to
        use):

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add libltdl/loaders/Makefile.
        * libltdl/configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add loaders/Makefile.
        * libltdl/loaders: New directory for module loaders, to simplify
        Makefile rules, and to give the loaders themselves names that are
        unique in the first few characters.
        * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): Copy recursively to pick up
        the loaders directory contents.
        * libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: New file.  Move module building
        rules to here...

        but are outside the usual -L -l, -R etc that can be used in
        dependency_libs. Any unusual flags in dependency_libs cause recent
        versions of libtool to die with "cannot find the library `'", so
        it is required to move frameworks out of there. :(

2004-06-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libltdl uses LIBOBJS, which leak out into a parent project if both
        share the same configure.ac.  Libtool itself doesn't compile any
        code, so it is okay to do it during bootstrap, but other projects
        need to treat libltdl as a configurable subproject to keep their
        respective LIBOBJS separate:

        * libltdl/configure.ac: New file, based on configure.ac.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (AC_LOCAL_AMFLAGS): Use our own m4
        directory.
        (ltdldata_DATA): List *all* the files that libtoolize --ltdl will
        install.

2004-06-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Automake 1.9 won't have the AC_PROG_EGREP bug (aclocal used to
        pull an old installed libtool.m4 as well as the bootstrap
        m4/libtool.m4 if an AC_DEFUN was removed), and we have
        lt~obsolete.m4 to work around it in the mean time.  libtoolize
        can install macro files from $prefix/share/aclocal perfectly well
        without us needing to move to a whole other directory:

        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): Renamed to aclocal_DATA, so m4
        files are installed to $prefix/share/aclocal again.
        (install-data-local): Don't remove just installed macros!
        * libtoolize.in (pkgmacrodir): Renamed to aclocaldir.
        (func_copy_some_files): New function factored out of...
        (func_copy_all_files): ...here.  Adjust to use func_copy_some_files.
        (re_pkgaux_files): Renamed to glob_pkgaux_files, since it is not
        a regular expression.
        (re_pkgmagro_files): Replaced with...
        (pkgmacro_files): ...a colon delimited list of libtool installed
        m4 files from aclocaldir.
        (Main): Copy macro files from aclocaldir again.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-05-21  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * ltmain.sh (check_executable): The WIN32 API and MinGW do not support

        According to Howard Chu <hyc@highlandsun.com>:
        Applications should assume that the native dlopen is NOT
        thread-safe, and take care of locking themselves. All application
        calls into libltdl should thus be protected by the caller.

        * libltdl/lt_mutex.c, libltdl/lt_mutex.h: Removed.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (pkginclude_HEADERS): Removed lt_mutex.h.

        modules.  Mutex handling is not currently useful in combination
        with posix threads, and should be easier to replace if it is in a
        separate module.  Additionally, we can factor out the loaders in
        such a way as to depend on only the portability layer and these
        new mutex and error modules now:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (pkginclude_HEADERS): Install lt_error.h and
        lt_mutex.h to $includedir/libltdl.
        (libltdl_la_SOURCES): Build lt_error and lt_mutex objects.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (LT_SCOPE): Moved from here...
        * libltdl/lt_system.h (LT_SCOPE): ...to here.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlerror_strings, LT_DLSTRERROR): Moved from
        here...
        * libltdl/lt__private.h (lt__error_strings, LT__STRERROR): ...to
        here as additional internal interfaces to lt_error.  Changed all
        callers.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LT_DLMUTEX_LOCK, LT_DLMUTEX_UNLOCK)
        (LT_DLMUTEX_SETERROR, LT_DLMUTEX_GETERROR, lt_dlmutex_lock_func)
        (lt_dlmutex_unlock_func, lt_dlmutex_geterror_func)
        (lt_dllast_error): Moved from here...
        (LT__MUTEX_LOCK, LT__MUTEX_UNLOCK, LT__MUTEX_SETERRORSTR)
        (LT__MUTEX_GETERROR, lt__mutex_lock_func, lt__mutex_unlock_func)
        (lt__mutex_geterror_func, lt__last_error): ...to here as
        additional internal interfaces to lt_mutex.  Changed all callers.
        (LT_MUTEX_SETERROR): Take an errorcode rather than a string.
        Changed all callers.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c, libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlmutex_register): Moved from
        here...
        * libltdl/lt_mutex.c, libltdl/lt_mutex.h (lt_dlmutex_register):
        ...to here. New files.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c, libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dladderror, lt_dlseterror)

        Moved from here...
        * libltdl/lt_error.c, libltdl/lt_error.h (lt_dladderror)
        (lt_dlseterror, lt_dlerror_table): ...to here. New files.

2004-04-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.am (XDELTA_OPTIONS): Remove --pristine as that
        generates huge xdeltas.

2004-04-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (argz_append, argz_create_sep, argz_insert)
        (argz_next, argz_stringify): Move from here...
        * libltdl/argz.c: New file. ...to here.
        * libltdl/lt__glibc.h: New file. Rename global symbols into the
        lt__ namespace.
        * libltdl/lt__private.h: Include lt__glibc.h.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_SOURCES): Add new files.
        (AM_CPPFLAGS): Add -DLTDL.
        * libltdl/argz.h (argz_append, argz_create_sep, argz_insert)
        (argz_next, argz_stringify): New file. Declare argz functions
        here, including lt__glibc.h when LTDL is defined to rename global
        symbols for libltdl.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_FUNC_ARGZ): Add argz to AC_LIBOBJ if any of
        our argz_* functions are missing from the system libraries.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Move standard headers and preprocessor guards
        from here...
        * libltdl/lt__private.h: ...to here.  New file to declare ltdl's
        internal interfaces.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Include lt__private.h.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL): Add lt_dirent to AC_LIBOBJ if all of
        opendir, readdir and closedir are missing.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Remove assert.h, ctype.h, errno.h, malloc.h,
        stdio.h and stdlib.h; these headers are all available in standard
        c89 environments and newer.
        * libltdl/lt__private.h: Include them here unconditionally.
        * libltdl/lt__dirent.c (opendir, readdir, closedir): New file.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (opendir, readdir, closedir): ...from here.
        * libltdl/lt__dirent.h: New file.  Rename the global symbols from
        lt__dirent.c into the lt__ namespace so they don't clash with
        other libraries.

2004-04-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Factor out the bottom portability layer from ltdl.  Code in this
        layer has global symbols renamed by lt__pre89.h, and may not
        refer to any symbols except those provided by the system libraries
        or other code in the portability layer:

        * libltdl/lt__pre89.h: New file.  Rename all the symbols from
        LTLIBOBJS into the lt__ namespace so that they don't clash with
        other libraries.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (rpl_memcpy, rpl_memmove, rpl_strchr, rpl_strcmp)
        (rpl_strrchr): Moved from here...
        * libltdl/memcpy.c (memcpy): ...to here, and fixed void *
        dereference bug...
        * libltdl/memmove.c (memmove): ...to here, and fixed void *
        dereference bug...
        * libltdl/strchr.c (strchr): ...to here...
        * libltdl/strcmp.c (strcmp): ...here...
        * libltdl/strrchr.c (strrchr): ...and here.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_SOURCES): Add lt__pre89.h.
        (libltdl_la_LIBADD, libltdlc_la_LIBADD): Add $(LTLIBOBJS).
        (ltdldata_DATA): Add replacement sources files.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL): Do careful config.h and LTLIBOBJ
        setting for missing pre89 functions.

2004-04-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.h (LT_PARAMS): Removed.  Changed all users to
        ANSI prototypes.
        (lt_ptr): Keep backwards compatibility stub.
        * libtldl/ltdl.c, libltdl/ltdl.h: Use ANSI function declarations
        throughout.  s/lt_ptr/void */g.

2004-04-08  Fredrik Estreen  <estreen@algonet.se>

        * m4/ltdl.m4: Rename shrext to shrext_cmds here too.

2004-04-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        There was no clean separation of abstraction layers in libltdl.
        The first step in fixing this is to factor out the memory
        management abstraction, making a start on removing promiscuity
        from the underlying portability layer:

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): Remove lt_dlmalloc,
        lt_dlrealloc and lt_dlfree references.  The memory management
        layer used by libltdl is now private.
        * libltdl/lt_system.h: New installed header for system portability
        abstraction.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: Use it.
        * libltdl/lt__alloc.c, libltdl/lt__alloc.h: New module above
        system portability layer to abstract ltdl's memory management.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Use lt__alloc.h.
        (closedir): Use free.
        (opendir): Use malloc/free.
        (lt__xalloc_die_callback): Report memory failures through
        lt_dlerror.
        (lt_dlinit): Use it to initialise memory management.
        (LT_DLMALLOC, LT_DLREALLOC, LT_DLFREE, LT_EMALLOC, LT_EREALLOC)
        (rpl_strdup, rpl_realloc, lt_estrdup, lt_emalloc, lt_erealloc):
        Removed in favour of...
        (lt__strdup, lt__memdup, MALLOC, REALLOC, FREE): ...these calls
        from libltdl/lt__alloc.h.  Changed all callers.
        (rpl_argz_append, rpl_argz_create_sep, rpl_argz_insert): As part
        of the portability layer, these functions no longer use libltdl
        memory management API.
        (free_vars): Factored out.
        (LT_DLMEM_REASSIGN): While redoing memory handling, renamed...
        * libltdl/lt__alloc.h (MEMREASSIGN): ...to this.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Let automake track
        dependencies automatically.
        (pkgincludedir): Override from parent package's setting.
        (pkginclude_HEADERS): Install lt_system.h.
        (libltdl_la_SOURCES): Add new files.
        * NEWS: Updated.
        Reported by Dalibor Topic <robilad@kaffe.org>

2004-04-01  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in: Remove an extra eval concat_cmds that some idiot added.
        Fixes double eval on AIX, reported by Albert Chin and Uwe Moeller.

        * NEWS: Add a news item about xlc support that I forgot yesterday.

2004-03-31  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in (darwin): Support IBM's xlc and xlc++.

2004-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LANG_C_CONFIG): If $compiler is not set, then
        don't call the macros that test it.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Ditto.
        (_LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Ditto.
        (_LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Ditto.
        (_LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Ditto.

2004-03-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_scan_files): sed BRE have no alternation, so
        break LT_INIT matcher out.
        (func_serial): Don't escape literal parens for grep BRE.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_INIT): aclocal can't see AC_DEFUN_ONCE, so use
        AC_DEFUN and m4_define.
        * libtoolize.in (func_serial): No longer accept AC_DEFUN_ONCE...
        (func_grep): ...so mere grep is sufficient again...
        (EGREP): ...and this is no longer required.

2004-03-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Use LT_INIT as #serial tag.
        * libtoolize.in: Grok LT_INIT!  Pass A[CM]_PROG_LIBTOOL to...
        (func_serial_update): ...here, we now take an additional parameter
        containing another regex to match ancient serialed files.
        (func_serial): Accept AC_DEFUN_ONCE of the #serial tag...
        (func_grep): ...which requires egrep...
        (EGREP): ...substituted by config.status.
        (func_scan_files): Set seen_libtool if LT_INIT goes by.

        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): Install ltoptions.m4.

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Also check $top_builddir for
        config.h.
        (ltdl.o): config.h is in $top_builddir.

2004-03-24  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * NEWS: Explain more fully why we no longer load libraries
        with global symbol resolution.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Add missing
        documentation for 'inherit_rpath' variable.

        * configure.ac: Catch errors during calls to AC_PROG_CXX,
        AC_PROG_CXXCPP and AC_PROG_F77 before LT_INIT.  Only set the
        HAVE_CXX and HAVE_F77 conditions to true if an error didn't
        occur (AC_PROG_CXX leaves CXX="g++" even if it didn't find one).
        Set HAVE_GCJ and HAVE_RC to true correctly as well.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PROG_GCJ): If AC_PROG_GCJ or AM_PROG_GCJ are
        defined, expand to the definition of those instead of our own.
        Define GCJ to '' instead of 'no' if not found.
        (LT_PROG_RC) Define RC to '' instead of 'no' if not found.
        (_LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Require LT_PROG_GCJ to be expanded first.
        (_LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Require LT_PROG_RC to be expanded first.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_dl_open): Don't load libraries with global
        symbol resolution.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-03-24  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Add new variable, inherit_rpath, if the
        RPATHs of the libraries being linked are inherited in
        the output file. For systems with a linker exhibiting
        this feature, programs/libraries must be relinked at
        installation time.

        * m4/libtool.m4: When linking convenience libraries on Solaris
        with the Sun C++ compiler, pass convenience libraries through
        to the linker with -Qoption between allextract/defaultextract.
        The Sun C++ compiler bundles -Qoption arguments so
        convenience libraries are linked with defaultextract
        otherwise.
        * tagdemo/Makefile.am, tagdemo/main.cpp, tagdemo/conv.h,
        tagdemo/conv.cpp: Augment tagdemo test to link a convenience
        library with a libtool library.

        * ltmain.in: Piecewise linking doesn't work when the output
        file is an absolute path, use the basename only instead.

        * ltmain.in: When a library is installed, dependent on a
        convenience library, and it involves relinking, the object
        files extracted from the convenience library are not removed
        after the relink. This is a problem if you build as non-root,
        install as root, then try to remove the build directory as
        non-root; Clean up properly if relink fails; Change
        "$realname"U to ${realname}T to be consistent.

2004-03-24  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in <prog linkmode>: Always add -L options to
        $newlib_search_path instead of just in scan mode to ensure that
        non-libtool libraries in user-specified directories can be found.

2004-03-22  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): Remove unneeded else condition
        code, now the support determination is done in m4.
        (_LT_LANG): Correct comment, unexpected leak from keybuk-lt-tag.patch.

2004-03-21  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_LDFLAGS): Increment CURRENT
        and AGE of libltdl, warranted by the addition of lt_dlhandle_find()
        since 1.5.2.

2004-03-21  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        Further sweeping changes to the user interface to libtool from
        `configure.ac' to allow users to better control the list of
        supported languages.  Three LT_INIT options 'no-lang', 'all-lang'
        and 'auto-lang' (the default) control the initial list and others
        may be added with LT_LANG.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): Renamed AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG to _LT_CONFIG
        which is more consistent with our own namespace and gets us further out
        of Autoconf's.
        (_LT_LIBTOOL_TAGS): Output available_tags variable based entirely
        on the value of _LT_TAGS.
        (_LT_COPYING): Call _LT_LIBTOOL_TAGS to output available tags,
        always append tag configuration if the tag is available.
        (LT_LANG): New macro to enable support for a language that accepts
        tag names (eg. "CXX") or human language names (eg. "C++").
        (_LT_LANG): Internal support macro for above that appends the
        tag to _LT_TAGS and calls the appropriate config macro.
        (LT_INIT): Ensure that LT_LANG is not called before LT_INIT.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS): Removed, call LT_LANG for each language now.
        (_LT_AC_TAG_CHECK): Removed, _LT_LANG handles duplicate calls.
        (_LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG): Macro to set initial language support
        based on options passed to LT_INIT.
        (_LT_SETUP): Call _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
        (_LT_AC_TAG_CONFIG): Removed, handled by _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_CXX, _LT_AC_LANG_F77, _LT_AC_LANG_GCJ): Removed,
        automatic language support inclusion now handled by
        _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CXX): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(C++).
        (AC_LIBTOOL_F77): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(Fortran 77).
        (AC_LIBTOOL_GCJ): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(Java).
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_C_CONFIG_: Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_C_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (_LT_SETUP): Replace call to AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_C_CONFIG with call to
        new _LT_LANG_C_CONFIG macro.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (LT_AC_PROG_GCJ): Renamed to LT_PROG_GCJ.
        (LT_AC_PROG_RC): Renamed to LT_PROG_RC.
        * m4/ltoptions.m4: Define new 'no-lang', 'auto-lang' and 'all-lang'
        options which set the default for _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4: Removed AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG, _LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG,
        _LT_AC_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, _LT_AC_LANG_RC_CONFIG; all of which are no
        long referenced in any way.
        * configure.ac: Enable all languages.
        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac, tests/demo/configure,ac,
        tests/depdemo/configure.ac, tests/f77demo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo/configure.ac, tests/pdemo/configure,ac,
        tests/tagdemo/configure.ac: Remove calls to AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS,
        the default 'auto-lang' mode now does the right thing.
        * doc/libtool.texi (The LT_INIT macro): Add documentation for
        new LT_INIT options and the LT_LANG macro, replacing the old
        documentation of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS which is no more.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-03-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * doc/libtool.texi: This manual has not been maintained properly
        for a number of years.  Much of what it said was outdated, or
        plain wrong with reference to modern autotools.  This change
        represents a first pass edit to clean up the obviously wrong.

        option.

        * ltmain.in (IFS): Move '\n' to beginning of IFS so that emacs
        doesn't offer to strip trailing ' \t' on every save.

        time.

2004-02-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Sweeping changes to the user interface to libtool from
        `configure.ac' to be more like AC_INIT and accept a space
        delimited list of options.  Instead of calling `AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN;
        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL', we now recommend `LT_INIT([dlopen])':

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, _AC_PROG_LIBTOOL)
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Removed.  Added AU_DEFUNs.
        (LT_INIT): Replace with an Autoconf like interface which accepts a
        version number as a minimum required libtool release at configure
        time.
        * m4/ltoptions.m4: New file inspired by automake/m4/amoptions.m4,
        which additionally flags an error if the configuring libtool
        macros are not new enough according to LT_INIT.
        (LT_OPTION_DEFINE): New macro to declare option handlers.
        (dlopen, win32-dll, shared, disable-shared, static)
        (disable-static, fast-install, disable-fast-install, pic-only)
        (no-pic): Newly LT_OPTION_DEFINEd option handlers that use...
        (_LT_ENABLE_SHARED, _LT_ENABLE_STATIC, _LT_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL)
        (_LT_WITH_PIC, _LT_WIN32_DLL): New macros to handle
        LT_LIBTOOL_INIT options...
        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_ENABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC)
        (AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):
        ...to replace these user interface macros, now defined as
        AU_DEFUNs.
        (AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_STATIC, AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL):
        Removed.  No longer required with LT_INIT_LIBTOOL interface.
        Added AU_DEFUNs.
        (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC)
        (AM_DISABLE_STATIC): Changed AU_DEFUNs to match new interface.
        (_LT_SETUP): Internal to LT_INIT, replaces AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP.
        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, _AC_PROG_LIBTOOL)
        (_LT_PROG_LTMAIN):  More AC_DEFUNs that have been retracted.
        * configure.ac: Use new interface.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Document new interface.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-02-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit (SHELL): Set it explicitly, incase some madman is using
        tcsh as their login shell :-b

2004-02-15  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.am (m4/ltversion.m4): Generate serial number by
        removing initial '1.' from the revision, replace @MACRO_SERIAL@
        with this new variable.
        * m4/ltversion.in: Use @MACRO_SERIAL@ for the serial number
        as some shells don't like a '.' when using test.

        * m4/ltversion.in: Add a serial number to this file otherwise
        libtoolize will refuse to copy it into $pkgdatadir, where it
        is needed by m4/libtool.m4.

2004-02-15  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in: Rename shrext to shrext_cmds.

2004-02-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in, libtoolize.in, commit, config/mailnotify: Correctly
        quote usage of $basename and $dirname to avoid (unlikely) path
        expansion.

        * tests/sh.test: Test the config/ltmain.sh and libtoolize in the
        build directory not the source directory, where they won't exist
        during 'make distcheck'.
        * ltmain.in: Revert one line of previous intendation clean-up
        to enable one of the sh.test checks to pass.

        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac: Drop AC_PREREQ back to 2.54, this
        was debris from Gary's cvsapply going mad and wasn't backed
        out.

        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): We have to distribute
        m4/ltversion.m4 because it can be needed before the Makefile
        that generates it exists.

2004-02-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit (MKSTAMP): Look for mkstamp in the right place.

2004-02-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.maint, Makefile: Move rules intended for Libtool
        maintainers only out of the Makefile we distribute and into one
        that we only need keep in CVS.
        * README-alpha: Add -fMakefile.maint to the instructions where
        needed.

2004-02-12  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>
        Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Fix typo: duplcations -> duplications,
        Fix indentation of a handful of badly indented blocks,
        Fix last remaining use of 'grep' to $GREP,
        Remove unnecessary trailing slash where we break a line on a
        command separator.
        * m4/libtool.m4: Also remove unnecessary trailing slash where
        we break a line on a command separator.

2004-02-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/ltoptions.m4: This got committed by an over-keen Gary,
        but the support for this isn't ready yet and if aclocal decides
        to m4_include this (which it will) you'll get a non-functioning
        libtool.  Removed.

        * ltmain.in: Remove duplicated version checking block.

        * bootstrap, m4/libtool.m4: Argh, Gary went crazy after cvsapply
        went crazy and backed out more than he should've.  This patch puts
        some of it back again.

        * ltmain.in, libtoolize.in, commit, config/mailnotify: Remove
        $SED from definitions of $dirname and $basename and prefix each
        use with it instead.  Some shells (zsh) treat the expansion as
        a single command instead of a command with arguments.

        * config/mailnotify (func_sendmail): Look for sendmail in a
        couple of common non-PATH locations as well.

        * ltmain.in: Fix typo: macro's -> macros.

        * ltmain.in: Correct definition of basename sed expression to
        not include single quotes.

2004-02-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: Use $progpath as for ltmain.in to work around the
        IRIX bug described below.
        * commit, config/mailnotify: Ditto. Resynch with cvs-utils HEAD.

2004-02-12  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>,
            Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in (progpath): Work around backward compatibility issue
        on IRIX 6.5. On IRIX 6.4+, sh is ksh but when the shell is invoked
        as "sh" and the current value of the _XPG environment variable is
        not equal to 1 (one), the special positional parameter $0, within
        a function call, is the name of the function. So, rather than
        using "$0" in functions, we set $progpath in the body and use that
        everywhere instead (incase of code refactoring later).
        (EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_MISMATCH): For clarity.

2004-02-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove config/mailnotify after all; it
        is of no use in a distribution tarball.

2004-02-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit: Fix cut-n-paste error.

        * commit: Completely change CVS/Root->name sed script to actually
        work when :ext: is not shown.

        * commit: Improve CVS/Root->name sed script to work when :ext: is
        not shown.

2004-02-11  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Fix typo: testring -> teststring.

2004-02-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit: Mail a nicer commit notification.

2004-02-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS, bootstrap, configure.ac, ltmain.in, m4/libtool.m4:
        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4, tests/cdemo/configure.ac: Arghh.  cvsapply just
        went crazy and committed a bunch of stuff that shouldn't have been
        in the last changeset.  The patch backs it all out.

        * config/mailnotify: New file for mailing commit notifications,
        imported from cvs-utils.
        * commit: Updated from cvs-utils and tweaked for libtool.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add config/mailnotify.

2004-02-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Remove vcl.tmp, otherwise it can interfere with make.
        * Makefile.am (vcl.tmp): Move comment out of multi-line command,
        as this rule is called from bootstrap as if it were a Makefile.

        * m4/ltversion.in: New file to capture what version number macros
        are being used.
        * Makefile.am (m4/ltversion.m4): New rule to create it from
        m4/ltversion.in.
        (nodist_pkgmacro_DATA): Add m4/ltversion.m4.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add m4/ltversion.in.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): AC_REQUIRE LTVERSION_VERSION
        from ltversion.m4.
        * bootstrap: Call the Makefile.am to create an initial
        m4/ltversion.m4.
        * ltmain.in: Diagnose version mismatches of various flavours.
        * TODO: Remove mismatch item.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * Makefile.am ($(top_builddir)/config.status): Removed.
        * configure.ac (CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES): This substitution is
        how automake-1.8 now informs all Makefiles when config.status
        needs to be rebuilt.
        Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@src.lip6.fr>

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Generate libtoolize from here.
        * Makefile.am (libtool, libtoolize): These rules are redundant.
        Automake generates better rules for remaking these files.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Catch unexpanded macros with
        beginning with LT_ and _LT_.
        * configure.ac (LT_MAJOR, LT_MINOR, LT_MICRO, LT_ALPHA): Renamed
        to lt_major, lt_minor, lt_micro, lt_alpha to save triggering the
        unexpanded macros error.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE): Removed.  We now require
        Autoconf 2.58, which ships this macro anyway.

        * Makefile.am: Comment typo.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PREREQ): Declare the minimum release number
        that is required for the calling code.
        * doc/libtool.texi (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): Document it.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-02-05  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in (infer_tag, win32_libid): Style changes. Rename
        infer_tag to func_infer_tag and win32_libid to func_win32_libid.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (cygwin): rename win32_libid to func_win32_libid.

2004-02-04  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in (infer_tag): Move tag inferrence to a shell function.
        Also test $base_compile against $CC with escaped arguments. Bug
        reported by Geoff Keating <geoffk@apple.com>.

2004-02-03  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.am (install-data-hook): Manually make config.guess
        and config.sub executable after they are installed as _DATA.
        We can't use _SCRIPTS because the various program name
        transforms may be applied to them.
        (dist_pkgdata_DATA): List config.guess and config.sub here
        (pkgdata_SCRIPTS): instead of here.

2003-02-03  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Create temporary directory under a strict umask
        rather than running chmod afterwards, preventing a race
        condition where the directory could be replaced with a symbolic
        link in the time between the two commands.

2004-01-31  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE): Change `echo to
        `$echo, causes problems when builtin echo is broken. Reported
        by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>.

2004-01-27  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        This fixes release procedure problems discovered whilst making
        the 1.5.2 release.

        * Makefile.am (cvs-dist): Because we check whether ChangeLog
        has been committed, this rule can't be run with uncommitted
        source so we can't run 'commit' and don't need to run
        'make dist' a second time.  Fix CVS tag as it should be
        "release-X" not "Release-X".
        (cvs_commit): New rule for the cvs-release chain that runs
        'commit'
        (cvs-release): Depend on cvs-commit, depend on deltas instead of
        cvs-diff and xdelta.
        (cvs-diff): Removed, replaced with delta-diff.
        (delta-diff): Unpack and diff the old and new tarballs rather
        than using CVS, so we get a genuinely complete diff.
        (xdelta): Removed, replaced with delta-xdelta.
        (got-xdelta): New rule for improved reading.
        (delta-xdiff): Copied and cleaned up version of old xdelta rule.
        (deltas): Depends on delta-diff and delta-xdelta (make deltas).
        (cvs-news): Don't depend on timestamps, cvs-dist itself does now.
        (prev-tarball): This is the only place we need a LASTRELEASE check
        so copy the code here and remove the CHECK_RELEASE variable.
        (new-tarball): Check there's a new tarball (did cvs-dist work?)
        (FETCHFILES): Remove obsolete libltdl mentions.
        * README-alpha: Update CVS instructions as everything's changed
        on Savannah.
        (Release procedure): Update NEWS and ChangeLog after changing
        the version number (both times); Run 'make fetch' after running
        'configure' (difficult to do it beforehand); Require 'commit'
        before 'make cvs-dist' as that checks ChangeLog is committed;
        'make deltas' instead of 'cvs-diff' and 'xdelta', pass LASTRELEASE
        to make instead of OLDVERSION (and it's mandatory); Clean up
        uploading paragraph; Clearer announcement sending instruction;
        Removed ftp-upload@gnu.org mail as that's not necessary now;
        Make web page updating instructions a bit clearer; Add an instruction
        to update the manual for non-alphas.
        (Alpha release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions.
        (Full release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions.
        * configure.ac: Add dist-bzip2 to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE as we talk
        about bz2 files in our release announcements; remove old reference
        to OLDVERSION.

2004-01-25  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * NEWS: Include 1.5.2 release information.

2004-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        This fixes a bug in the libtoolize ltdl source installation rules,
        which were copying Makefile.in from the libtool tree into the
        package running libtoolize.  Now we explicitly list the files to
        copy to force the package to generate its own Makefile.in:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_SOURCES, libltdlc_la_SOURCES):
        Add ltdl.h.
        (ltdldatadir): New variable for installation directory of
        libtoolize --ltdl files.
        (ltdldata_DATA): Tell automake what files to copy there at install
        time (and remove at unistall time!).
        (local-install-files): Removed.  This hack is not required
        anymore, the automake generated install rules are much more
        advanced than this.
        * Makefile.am (install-data-hook, uninstall-local): Removed.
        Libltdl files for libtoolize are installed by their own Makefile
        now.

2004-01-22  Jeff Squyres  <jsquyres@lam-mpi.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Some compilers
        (e.g. Intel Linux icc compiler) write temporary files to the current
        directory. These compilers do support -c and -o simultaneously but
        wrongly fail the test due to the failure to create temporary
        files. It is incorrect to penalize compilers which write temporary
        files to the current directory so the 'chmod -w .' is therefore
        removed.

2004-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_AC_PROG_EGREP): Wrapper for AC_PROG_GREP.
        AIX has a brain-dead grep that only handles lines < 2048
        characters.  Default GREP incase we are not using a future
        autoconf that sets it for us :-)  Changed all callers to use $GREP
        instead of grep, and to AC_REQUIRE LT_AC_PROG_EGREP.
        Declare GREP as a libtool config var.
        * ltmain.in: Use it.
        * tests/sh.test (scripts): Accept `if $GREP "^foo=bar"' by
        tightening the regexp.
        Reported by Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

2004-01-21  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [netbsd*]: Remove
        gratuitous ${libname}${release}${shared_ext} from
        library_names_spec.

2004-01-21  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD_RELOAD_FLAG): On darwin change the
        reload_cmds to use $CC, otherwise ld will thin out any fat
        objects.

2004-01-18  Benjamin Reed  <ranger@befunk.com>

        * ltmain.in: Fix handling of frameworks in search paths.  Also
        a one-liner fix to eval shrext in the libtool library search.

2004-01-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require 1.8 for bootstrap, or
        else aclocal.m4 is huge, and m4 directory is not distributed.

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Create config.h in
        $top_srcdir.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL): Run AC_CONFIG_HEADERS for the user if
        necessary. Calculate filename from first argument to
        AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, and substitute as CONFIG_H.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Make sure we are searching in
        $top_srcdir for headers.
        (DEFS): Override the default HAVE_CONFIG_H with the config.h
        filename.
        (ltdl.lo): Reference config.h via $(CONFIG_H).
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (HAVE_CONFIG_H): Ditto.

2004-01-15  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4: Add a file containing aclocal-fooling
        macro definitions which stop the contents of an installed
        libtool.m4 ending up in our aclocal.m4 when we bootstrap.
        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): Note that we don't need to add
        lt~obsolete.m4 to this list.

2004-01-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_COPYING): Factor out copyright message so it
        only needs to be updated in one place.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Refactor to be more readable.  Only add
        tags if a compiler was found; ie if you have no gcj compiler,
        don't tack the GCJ tag onto the generated libtool script.

2004-01-13  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Quote shrext as it is evaled in ltmain.

2004-01-11  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: new -precious-files-regex link mode option
        to prevent removal of matching files from the temporary
        output directory.
        (Debian Bug #221420)
        * doc/libtool.texi: document the new option.
        * NEWS: announce the new option.

2004-01-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): s/xfunc_copy/Xfunc_copy.
        Now the test can actually succeed sometimes.

2004-01-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: Break out of the command argument parse loop when
        -- is encountered.

2004-01-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): s/test "x/test "X/ to keep
        tests/sh.test happy.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (aclocal_macros, aclocal_DATA): Removed.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Remove m4 macro files; they are automatically
        added by automake.
        (pkgmacrodir): Where to install libtool macro files.
        (pkgmacro_DATA): List installable libtool macro files.
        (install-data-local): Remove previous versions of ltdl.m4 and
        libtool.m4 from their old location.
        * libtoolize.in: Use new pkgmacrodir installed macros when
        libtoolizing a project.  Treat libtool.m4 and ltdl.m4 specially,
        and func_serial_update() any other files from pkgmacrodir.
        (pkgmacrodir): Where to find installed libtool macro files.
        (aclocaldir): Removed.
        (func_copy_all_files): Add an optional callback parameter to
        control how files are copied.  If the callback is passed, don't
        tell it whether it can copy or not.
        (func_serial): Exchange parameters and make macro_regex optional,
        so that this function can be used to extract serial numbers from
        files with the traditional /^# serial [1-9][0-9]*$/ syntax.
        Changed all callers.
        (func_serial_update): Make macro_regex optional last parameter, so
        that this function can be used as a callback for
        func_copy_all_files().  Changed all callers.
        * m4/ltsugar.m4: Add a serial number.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        A complete rewrite of the m4 code involved in the generation of
        libtool via config.status.  The old way involved manually
        synchronising disparate bits of shell code in several macros, to
        quote a copy of a shell variable, put that in config.status, maybe
        add it to some quotation loops to prevent early expansion, and
        then add a block to _LT_CONFIG_COMMANDS to bring it into the
        libtool script.  The new way is to mark shell variables for
        propogation using _LT_DECL for language independent variables, or
        _LT_TAGDECL for those that need to be propogated in several
        language flavours.  The marking can be done in the macro that
        probes the variables, and this new m4 machinery takes care of
        synchronising all the other bits of code at autoconf time:

        * m4/ltsugar.m4:  New file.  Macros that are useful outside the
        context of libtool.  Initially, contains some generalised list
        management macros, and the scaffolding for dictionary type data
        storage and retrieval.
        * Makefile.am (aclocal_macros): Install ltsugar.m4.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_DECL): Mark a shell variable for export to
        the libtool script, along with a comment, and hints for quoting
        and renaming.
        (_LT_TAGDECL): Similarly mark a tagged shell variable for export
        in each tag.
        (lt_decl_tag_varnames, lt_decl_quote_varnames)
        (lt_decl_dquote_varnames, lt_decl_varnames_tagged)
        (lt_decl_all_varnames):  New utility macros for managing lists of
        shell variable names from _LT_DECL and _LT_TAGDECL.
        (_LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARATIONS, _LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE):
        Expand to correctly quoted variable declarations in config.status
        from all marked shell variables.
        (_LT_LIBTOOL_DECLARE): Expand to commented and quoted variable
        declaration for libtool tag section.
        (_LT_LIBTOOL_CONFIG_VARS, _LT_LIBTOOL_TAG_VARS): Pass all marked
        variables to _LT_LIBTOOL_DECLARE.
        (_LT_CONFIG_COMMANDS): Use _LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARATIONS and
        friends to generate all the variable passing shell code for
        config.status, to get marked variables from libtool.m4 into
        libtool itself eventually.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Generate marked variable code for libtool tag
        configuration.  Changed all client macros to mark variables
        suitably rather than the hand pasting that was necessary
        previously.
        (AC_PROG_SED): Renamed from LT_AC_PROG_SED.
        (LT_AC_PROG_SED): Wrap AC_PROG_SED, and mark shell variables for
        propogation to the libtool script.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (seen_gettext): Removed unused variable.

2004-01-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_scan_files): Don't assume the existence of
        aclocal.m4.  Make the comment more descriptive.
        Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@src.lip6.fr>

        * NEWS: Note libtoolize changes.

        * ChangeLog.2003: New file, containing all the ChangeLog entries
        from 2003.  Trimmed ChangeLog accordingly.

        * ltmain.in: Output 2004 in the copyright from libtool --version.

2004-01-03  Stefan Nordhausen  <nordhaus@informatik.hu-berlin.de>
        Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Don't use the mkdir -p option when creating a
        temporary output directory so a symlink attack can't be used to
        arbitrarily chmod other directories on the system if libtool
        gets run as root.

2004-01-02  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Ensure that ${ZSH_VERSION+set} is properly escaped.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (CDPATH): Change the CDPATH setting so that it
        allows for zsh differences, as noted in the autoconf manual's
        Portable Shell - Special Shell Variables section.

2004-01-02  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * .cvsignore: Ignore stamp-vcl created by the Makefile.

2004-01-02  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
        Joe Orton  <joe@manyfish.co.uk>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Add extra blackslash
        in front of all the inner double-quotes as this is removed
        on Solaris, IRIX and AIX leading to broken definitions
        in config.status.

2004-01-02  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * NEWS: Next release will be in 2004.
