28 2001-05-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
30 * tests/compile.at (AC_PROG_CPP via CC): Invoke AC_PROG_CC instead
31 if using `cc'.
33 2001-05-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
35 * tests/compile.at (GNU Fortran 77): Don't AS_EXIT when using
36 AT_CHECK_MACRO since it skips tests embedded in configure.ac.

38 compiler.
39 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
41 2001-05-14 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

75 Reported by Daniel Carroll.
77 2001-04-26 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
79 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use two backslashes

97 Reported by Bob Proulx and Jim Meyering.
99 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_PATH_PROG): Do not invoke the
100 program with --version.
102 2001-04-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
104 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Remove `int main () {' and the
105 trailing `}', since AC_LANG_PROGRAM provides them.
107 2001-04-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
109 * configure.in: Bump to 2.49f.
111 2001-04-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

119 2001-04-20 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

131 2001-04-18 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
133 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Handle
134 backslashes (DOS paths) for $ac_confdir and $srcdir.

140 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS): Remove, replace with
141 inline setting up of AS_MESSAGE_FD.
142 (AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD): Do not define, so that AS_MESSAGE does not
143 output in it before...
144 (_AC_INIT_CONFIG_LOG): here, which is run after the handling of
145 options.
147 2001-04-18 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
149 * doc/autoconf.texi: Replace documentation for obsolete
150 AC_LIBOBJ_DECL with clearer documentation for AC_LIBSOURCE

163 2001-04-16 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
165 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_VERSION): Use AC_PACKAGE_NAME and
166 AC_PACKAGE_VERSION only if they are defined.

169 2001-04-15 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
171 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Alter response on

173 Standards.
175 2001-04-13 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
177 * doc/autoconf.texi: Still more minor modifications for clarity,
178 felicity, and grammar.
180 2001-04-11 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
182 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_F77_WRAPPERS): Mention C++ as well as C.
183 In the example, don't #ifdef F77_FUNC before using it, as that
184 would push any errors to link-time rather than compile-time; note
185 that the user can test this to invoke alternative behavior.
187 2001-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
189 * autoconf.sh (Task script): Be sure that `forbidden.rx' and
190 `allowed.rx' exist when AWK loads then.

201 * configure.in: Moved here.
202 Suggested by Akim Demaille and Raja R Harinath.
204 2001-04-10 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
206 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Re-enable logging to
207 `config.log' from `config.status', but delay logging till after
208 command line option processing.
210 2001-04-10 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
212 * autoupdate.in (print_usage): print "\ at end of line does not
213 work as expected, so change block to here-doc instead.
214 (print_version): Same.
216 2001-04-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
218 * doc/autoconf.texi: Replace all tab characters with (8) spaces,
219 lest the formatting of example code, etcetera, be messed up.
221 2001-04-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
223 * doc/autoconf.texi: Rephrase various parts for clarity, felicity,
224 and/or grammar.
226 2001-04-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
228 * doc/autoconf.texi: Clean up cache documentation: Document
229 --config-cache/-C option, and recommend instead of --cache-file.
230 Indent example AC_CACHE_VAL macros for clarity. Add new
231 "Cache Checkpointing" section for AC_CACHE_SAVE (and
232 AC_CACHE_LOAD), so that the "Cache Files" section focuses solely
233 on features visible to end-users (e.g. to better fit the cross
234 references). Various minor rewordings for clarity, felicity,
235 and/or grammar.
237 2001-04-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
239 * doc/autoconf.texi: Revert to "configure.in" in the history, since
240 "configure.ac" wasn't used in the past, and in any case it is
241 probably a good idea to preserve this section verbatim.
243 2001-04-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
245 * AUTHORS: Fix grammar.
247 2001-04-09 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>

255 * Makefile.am: Manual addition of @VERSION@ substitution variable
256 as a temporary Automake fix. Reported by Raja R Harinath.

279 * m4sh.m4 (AS_BASENAME): New.
280 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set `$as_me'.
281 * acgeneral.m4: Don't set as_me; AS_SHELL_SANITIZE now does this.
282 * tests/atgeneral.m4: Likewise.
283 (AT_INIT): Use $PATH_SEPARATOR for walking the path.
284 * autoconf.sh: Be DOS-friendly when setting as_me and M4.
285 Add quotes to support spaces in $tmp.
286 Work around problem in DJGPP port of awk by using a temporary file.
287 * autoheader.sh: Be DOS-friendly when setting as_me.

304 * doc/autoconf.texi: Minor tweaks.
306 2001-03-27 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

310 2001-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
312 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about
313 `touch'.
314 From Jim Meyering, Volker Borchert, and Peter Eisentraut.
316 2001-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
318 * tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Don't skip 1.3.5.
319 Invoke AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM ---for some reason AC_CANONICAL_HOST is
320 not enough for 1.3.5.
321 From Lars J. Aas.
323 2001-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
325 * tests/atgeneral.m4: s/Testing suite/Test suite/g.
326 From Jim.

365 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R): Update to
366 fileutils-4.0.42's.
368 2001-03-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
370 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't always create `empty', rather
371 do it only when diffing `/dev/null' is not supported.
372 And use `at-devnull' instead of `empty'.
374 2001-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
376 * autoscan.pl, autoupdate.in: Use `use' instead of `require' to
377 require some version of Perl, so that the test is performed at
378 compile time, not run time.
379 Suggested by Nicolas Joly.
381 2001-03-13 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
383 * tests/aclocal.m4: Fix some typos. Also ignore $PATH_SEPARATOR.

399 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_F77_C_O): define F77_NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O
400 when test fails, not when it succeeds(!).
402 2001-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
404 * tests/tools.at (AWK portability): Use AT_CHECK to check for GNU
405 AWK so that there is always a AT_CHECK between

407 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
409 2001-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
411 * tests/tools.at: Be sure to remove configure.ac~.
413 2001-03-13 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
415 * autoupdate.in (File::Basename): Use package.

418 2001-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
420 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): In the AU_DEFUN definition, don't try
421 to issue an obsolete message, it can't work for macros being
422 defined both with AC_DEFUN and AU_DEFUN.
423 Hence do it in the AC_DEFUN definition.
425 2001-03-06 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
427 * tests/base.at (AC_TRY_*): Escape `^' - it's a pipe command
428 separator on Tru64 v5.1.
429 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
431 2001-03-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
433 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Register at-setup-line and
434 at-check-line for removal.
435 Check for the presence of at-check-line only when $at_test was
436 really a test.
437 Reported by Pavel.
439 2001-03-04 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
441 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): s/am_me/as_me/. Quote AT_CHECK

456 2001-02-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
458 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_FS_SEPARATORS): Use `.;.' instead
459 of `.;`pwd`': if pwd is c:/foo, we might walk through `.:c'
460 (fails), and then `/foo' which might succeed, resulting in
461 believing `;' is the right path separator.
463 2001-02-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
465 * acgeneral.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, AH_TEMPLATE): New, use AS_ESCAPE, not
466 _AS_QUOTE.
467 (_AH_VERBATIM_OLD, _AH_TEMPLATE_OLD): New, used for bugward
468 compatibility in...
469 (AC_DEFINE, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): here.
471 2001-02-26 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
473 * autoupdate.in (&mktmpdir): Strip the newline from the output
474 of mktemp.
476 2001-02-26 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
478 * man/Makefile.am: autoupdate.1 now depends on autoupdate.in.
480 2001-02-25 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
482 * autoupdate.in: Support DOS paths. Initialize $tmp to
483 avoid warnings. Default $autoconf to 'autoconf'.
485 2001-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
487 * autoupdate.in (&END): Try to preserve the exit status.
488 Use backquotes where more readable.
489 Internal details should be dumped when $debug, not when $verbose.
491 2001-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
493 * autoupdate.in (&mktmpdir): New.
494 (&END): Remove $tmp.

512 * m4sh.m4 (_AS_TEST_PREPARE): Rename as...
513 (_AS_BROKEN_TEST_PREPARE): this.
514 (_AS_TEST_PREPARE): New dummy but working version of this macro.
515 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Use AS_EXECUTABLE_P.
517 2001-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
519 * autoupdate.in (&parse_args): Support `-'.
521 2001-02-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
523 * autoupdate.in: Less Bournisms, more Wallisms.
525 2001-02-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
527 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_FS_SEPARATORS): Fix typo: s/;/:/
528 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_FS_SEPARATORS): Revert that change.
529 There was no typo.
531 2001-02-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
533 * doc/autoconf.texi: Typos and formatting changes.
535 2001-02-21 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
537 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use `AS_EXIT(0)' instead
538 of `exit 0' when exiting config.status.
540 2001-02-21 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
542 * doc/autoconf.texi: Add new node discussing issues related to

544 handling of $PATH_SEPARATOR.
546 2001-02-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
548 * autoupdate.in: New. Replaces autoupdate.sh.
550 2001-02-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
552 * autoscan.pl (&find_configure_ac): New.
554 2001-02-20 Paul Martinolich <martinol@datasync.com>
556 * autoscan.pl (check_configure_ac): Pretty missing macro warnings

661 From Nicolas Joly.
663 The following patch went into Autoconf between the two previous

679 out hashes common for the whole package. Do it in scan_files()
680 instead.
681 (scan_makefile): Likewise.

683 Thanks to Jim Meyering for improved implementation.

697 The recent addition of `exit's prototype in confdefs.h causes
698 AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS to include junky -D switches.
699 Reported by Wolfgang Mueller.
701 * tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Include trash in
702 confdefs.h.
703 * tests/atgeneral.at (AT_INIT): Don't expect `find' to support
704 -maxdepth, hence don't use -follow either.
705 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
706 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS) <confdef2opt.sed>: In the
707 `quote' section, `p'rint the result.

714 * tests/compile.at: New test.
715 * tests/atspecific.at (AT_CHECK): When given 77 as expected exit

720 * tests/base.at (AC_CACHE_CHECK): Typo and clean up.
721 Check only --quiet.

739 conftestsed.

751 * m4sh.m4 (_AS_TEST_PREPARE): Discard output when testing `test
752 -x' and `test -f' to avoid confusing users with error messages.
753 (AS_MKDIR_P): Invert order of separators in IFS to avoid problem
754 with some shells adding backslash between fields and parsing the
755 result for escapes.
756 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Document IFS.

762 and put pgf90 in the right place (before the F95 compilers).
764 2001-01-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
766 * autoscan.pl: Do scan `configure.ac' when you claim it.

769 (%generic_macro): Use single quotes around literals.
770 ($configure_scan): Define global, and use it instead of the literal.
771 Use `warn' in place of `printf STDERR'.
773 2001-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
775 * autoscan.pl: `Formatting++' changes: prototypes all the
776 functions, no longer use `&' to call functions as it disables
777 prototype checking, topological sort so that functions are defined
778 before being used, and put an Autoconf like nice comment to
779 describe the functions.
780 (output): Accept a CONFIGURE_SCAN parameter, and open CONF.
782 2001-01-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

800 (aclocal): Same as below for autoheader.
802 2001-01-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

805 there is no risk to override a handwritten template.
806 From Assar Westerlund.
808 2001-01-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
810 * aclang.m4: dnl AC_ARG_VAR's newline.

814 2001-01-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
816 * tests/mktests.sh: Handle DOS issues: directory separator, single
817 dot in file names, and one actual bug: when set -e, running
818 (false; true) will of course fail, use (false || true).
819 From Tim Van Holder.
821 2001-01-26 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
823 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Use testsuite.tmp, not

834 2001-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
836 Version 2.49c.
838 2001-01-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
840 * autoscan.pl (output): Detect/report a close failure.
842 2001-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
844 Preserve INSTALL too.
846 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Use ac_INSTALL for internal
847 computations, and therefore use INSTALL where ac_given_INSTALL
848 was used.
849 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): There is no point in computing INSTALL in
850 here. It's not even used.
852 2001-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
854 While preserved in configure, srcdir is trashed in config.status.
855 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
857 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_STATE_SAVE): It is ok to modify
858 CONFIG_STATUS, DEFS, prefix and exec_prefix.
859 It is OK to produce config.* files.

861 AC_OUTPUT to check that it doesn't break anything by itself.
862 * tests/torture.m4 (srcdir): New test, from Ralf Corsepius.
863 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Use ac_top_srcdir and ac_srcdir
864 to preserve srcdir and top_srcdir.
865 Remove any use of `ac_given_srcdir' as `$srcdir' being preserved
866 is usable.
868 2001-01-24 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@epita.fr>
870 configure -q did not work since 2000-11-03.
872 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS): Don't check for $silent,
873 tie AS_MESSAGE_FD to stdout unconditionally.
874 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): If $silent redirect AS_MESSAGE_FD to
875 /dev/null.
876 * tests/base.at (AC_CACHE_CHECK): New test.

898 2001-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
900 * autoscan.pl: Just like the previous patch, but for
901 AC_CHECK_FUNCS, AC_CHECK_TYPES, and AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
903 2001-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
905 * autoscan.pl (print_unique): Push all the macro invocation
906 locations.
907 (output_headers): For headers that need to be checked, push either
908 the specialized macro, or the generic macro call.
909 (check_configure_ac): Handle AC_CHECK_HEADERS.
911 2001-01-24 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
913 Some non-srcdir build fixes.
914 * configure.in (BUGS): Look for file in $srcdir.
915 * tests/Makefile.am (MACRO_FILES): Use '..', not '$(top_srcdir)'.
917 2001-01-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
919 Don't AC_SUBST too much, as it makes Automake include those
920 variables in Makefiles, and drives autoscan to require unneeded
921 programs.
923 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Don't AC_SUBST CFLAGS,
924 CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
925 (AC_ARG_VAR): AC_SUBST the var.

942 * aclang.m4 (_AC_LANG_SET): Turn off optimizations.
944 2001-01-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
946 * configure.in: If this is a beta, dump the core of BUGS.
947 * tests/base.at (AC_REQUIRE & AC_LANG): New test, currently failing.
949 2001-01-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
951 * autoscan.pl: Don't use `defined' to check whether an array is
952 defined.

955 2001-01-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
957 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Be sure to quote hashes to

960 2001-01-23 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
962 * aclang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O): Use
963 AS_IF([AC_TRY_EVAL(ac_link)]) instead of AC_LINK_IFELSE to
964 avoid depending on ac_exeext before it's found.
965 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Check for the
966 executable extension BEFORE checking whether the compiler
967 works, as that test depends on a correct ac_exeext.
969 2001-01-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
971 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE) <trap>: Typo.
973 2001-01-22 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
975 * autoscan.pl: Use "use strict". Declare all global variables
976 or make them private. Make all local variables private.
977 (find_autoconf): New, moved some code from the top level.
978 Use %ENV outside quotes to eliminate a warning.
980 2001-01-22 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
982 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_LN_S): Detect DJGPP < 2.04, which only
983 supports 'ln -s' for executables.
985 2001-01-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
987 * autoscan.pl ($dir, $autoconf): New.
989 2001-01-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1001 2001-01-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1003 * autoscan.pl (&wanted): Don't register `Makefile' when
1004 `Makefile.in' is present.
1005 Factor the simplification of $name.
1006 (&scan_makefile, &scan_sh_file): Instead of counting the number of

1011 2001-01-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1026 2001-01-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1028 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE): Wrap the test -s in

1042 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS): Typo :(.
1044 2001-01-22 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
1046 * aclang.m4 (_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT, _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_O):
1047 Export ac_cv_exeext so ltconfig believes the value is cached and
1048 skips its own faulty test.
1050 2001-01-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
1052 * actypes.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS): Double quote the test program
1053 body.
1055 2001-01-22 Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

1103 <testsuite.log>: Give a banner, include ChangeLog snippets, list
1104 the failed and skipped tests.
1105 Remove useless $at_traceoff in sub shells, this improves the
1106 readability of the traces by removing testsuite's implementation
1107 details.
1108 (AT_CHECK): Filter out the shell traces from the tested command's
1109 stderr.
1110 Use AS_ESCAPE.
1111 Don't register experr and expout for clean up, as it's hairy and

1173 * tests/foreign.at (Autoconf & Libtool): `configure.in', not `.ac'
1174 since Libtool does not yet support it.

1220 * acgeneral.m4: No longer push the first diversion.

1222 (AC_PLAIN_SCRIPT): When m4_divert_push a diversion, m4_wrap its
1223 pop.
1224 (AC_INIT): Run AC_PLAIN_SCRIPT first, not last.
1225 * tests/m4sh.at (AS_DIRNAME & AS_DIRNAME_SED): Can't use m4_defun
1226 without m4_init.
1227 * m4sugar.m4: Likewise.
1229 2001-01-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1231 * m4sugar.m4 (m4_defn, m4_undefine, m4_popdef): Unlike the
1232 builtin, fail on undefined symbols.
1233 * tests/torture.at (Torturing config.status): Stop playing nasty
1234 tricks with changequote.
1235 (AC_DEFUBST): Move here from...

1258 arguments.
1259 (_m4_expansion_stack): Rename as...
1260 (m4_expansion_stack): this, and change its value: instead of using
1261 the pushdef stack to stack each *line* of the stack, each
1262 definition contains the whole stack. I.e., to display the whole
1263 stack, instead of popdefing and displaying each definition, just

1318 (_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Define AC_PACKAGE_NAME.

1329 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Don't define

1333 are used.
1334 (AC_CHECK_MEMBERS, _AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW): Don't require

1338 2001-01-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

1345 identity of the tests.
1347 2001-01-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1349 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): When the suite failed, complain
1350 before creating the debug scripts.
1351 Create a log file.
1352 When ignoring a test, display a reassuring `ok' for stressed
1353 users, and say `skipped' instead.
1354 Simply run `testsuite' with the failed tests instead of running
1355 the debug scripts, this avoids having zillions of banners `Testing
1356 Blabla 2.13' (another means to avoid these banners is to have the
1357 test suite succeed :-).

1402 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Be sure to remove tmp files.
1403 * tests/compile.at (AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC): Don't use exit to test it,
1404 since it produces a prototype which conflicts with the one
1405 computed by _AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION.
1406 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_FUNCS, AC_HAVE_FUNCS): Likewise.
1407 (AC_HAVE_FUNCS): Test AC_HAVE_FUNCS!

1427 effective, be sure to let _AC_LANG be the old language before
1428 calling AC_LANG.
1430 2000-12-25 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

1439 * autoheader.sh: Ditto.
1440 * autoupdate.sh: Similarly.
1441 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
1442 * tests/atspecific.m4: Be sure to remove configure.in.
1443 Adjust the test suite to use `configure.ac'.
1445 2000-12-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1447 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_EVAL, AC_TRY_EVAL, AC_TRY_COMMAND): Be a

1459 * aclang.m4 (_AC_LANG_COMPILER_GNU): Be sure to have `choke me' on
1460 the seventh column so that the SGI Fortran compiler really chokes
1461 on it.

1476 Define AT_data_files and output it.

1483 (AC_PROG_CXXCPP, AC_PROG_CPP): Set the current language instead of

1522 if-not-failed.

1525 reported only on success.
1527 2000-12-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
1529 * tests/foreign.at: New file.
1531 2000-12-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2083 Factor part of the prologue of the tests.
2085 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_CLEANUP): No longer handle
2086 at_stop_on_error.

2088 of the loop if requested (-e).
2090 2000-11-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2092 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_SETUP): Don't build at-check-line, that's
2093 AT_CHECK's job.
2094 Remove the code depending upon `at_skip_mode': it's unused.
2096 2000-11-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2098 * tests/atconfig.in: Remove the `snippet' marks, there are no
2099 longer used.
2100 * tests/atgeneral.m4: Likewise.
2102 2000-11-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2104 Factor the epilogue of the tests.
2106 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Move the reading of at_status
2107 into...
2108 (AT_INIT): here, at the end of the `case'.
2110 2000-11-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2112 The debug scripts are only wrapper around testsuite, asking for a
2113 specific test.
2115 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT) <at_debug>: New variable, new
2116 option, -d, to disable the creation of the debug scripts (when
2117 testsuite was already launched from one).
2118 <at_test_count>: Really compute it instead of using the number of
2119 the last test run.
2121 2000-11-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2123 Transform Autotest's body into a `for test; case $test'.
2124 As a known side effect, currently any code outside
2125 AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP is discarded.
2127 * acgeneral.m4 (_m4_divert(KILL)): Move to...
2128 * m4sugar.m4: here.
2129 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Use m4_divert_push/pop instead of
2130 m4_divert.
2131 Put all the tests inside a for;case.
2132 Define TESTS.
2133 (AT_SETUP, AT_CLEANUP): Open/close each case.
2135 2000-11-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2137 Move divert and undivert into m4_.
2139 * m4sugar.m4 (m4_divert, divert, undivert): Rename as...
2140 (m4_divert_text, m4_divert, m4_undivert): this.
2141 * autoconf.m4 (divert, undivert): Restore them for user macros only.
2143 2000-11-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2145 Move Autotest on top of M4sh.
2147 * tests/atgeneral.m4: Import M4sh.
2148 Adjust the differences on the names of the builtins (define etc.).
2149 (AT_CASE): Remove, use m4_case.
2150 (AT_SETUP): Don't use `AT_group_description', `$1' is OK.
2151 * tests/atspecific.m4 (m4_for, m4_foreach): Remove, use those of
2152 M4sugar.
2153 * tests/m4sugar.at: Strengthen the quotation and adjust to the new
2154 macro names.

2158 * m4sh.m4: Import M4sugar.
2159 * autoconf.m4: Don't import M4sugar, M4sh does.
2161 2000-11-20 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2163 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): `==' in test is not portable,
2164 replace with `='.
2166 2000-11-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2168 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Also include `PATH' and
2169 `/bin/machine' in the log.
2171 2000-11-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2173 Let AC_TRY_RUN be more verbose
2175 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Instead of canceling the output
2176 of the test program, save it into the log.
2177 Save the exit status, and report it in the log when non zero.
2178 Just use `(./conftest)' instead of `(./conftest; exit)'.
2180 2000-11-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2182 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS) <ac_includes_default>: Include
2183 sys/stat.h.

2189 Adjust.
2191 2000-11-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2193 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools) <expr>:
2194 expr 'a' : '\(b\)'.
2195 From Paul Eggert.
2197 2000-11-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2199 Reorder the test suite so that low level features are tested
2200 before high level ones.
2202 * tests/semantics.at (AC_CONFIG_FILES, HEADERS, LINKS and COMMANDS):
2203 (missing templates): Move to...
2204 * tests/torture.at: here.
2205 Reorder the file so that the torture test is last.
2206 * tests/semantics.at (AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC, AC_PROG_CPP with warnings)
2207 (AC_PROG_CPP without warnings): Move to...
2208 * tests/compile.at: here, new file.
2209 * tests/suite.at: Run `torture' and then `compile' before
2210 `semantics'.
2212 2000-11-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2214 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SOURCE no
2215 longer exist.
2217 2000-11-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2219 POSIX doesn't require s/[^/]// to work.
2220 From Paul Eggert and Johan Danielsson.
2222 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools) <sed>:
2223 Reorganize. Document this issue.
2224 * autoupdate.sh (dir): Use `,' as separator instead of `/'
2225 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
2226 * autoupdate.sh: Ditto.
2228 2000-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2230 * m4/largefile.m4 (_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SOURCE): Remove, replaced by...
2231 (_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES): this.
2232 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Use AC_LANG_PROGRAM instead of
2233 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SOURCE, i.e., don't pass
2234 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES by default: this isn't desirable
2235 when checking for fseeko.
2236 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Pass AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES to
2237 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE, since it no longer does this for us.
2239 2000-11-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2241 Provide a means for escaping the forbidden patterns test.
2243 * tests/tools.at (Forbidden tokens): Test m4_token_allow.
2244 * m4sugar.m4 (m4_file_append, m4_token_allow): New macros.
2245 * autoconf.sh (task script): Pass `tmp' and `verbose' to
2246 finalize.awk.
2247 (finalize.awk::check_patterns): Eve out from the body.
2248 (finalize.awk): Read `$tmp/tokens_allowed', and don't complain for
2249 these exceptions.
2251 2000-11-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2253 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Don't worry about
2254 whether fseeko and ftello are properly declared.
2255 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FSEEKO): New macro, which worries about
2256 fseeko (and presumably ftello). Do not set _XOPEN_SOURCE; that
2257 causes too many problems in practice.
2258 * acfunctions (fteelo, fseeko): Trigger AC_FUNC_FSEEKO.
2259 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
2261 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2265 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2267 * BUGS: New file.
2268 Be sure to read this file if you're using a non released Autoconf.
2269 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the scripts): The non built tools are
2270 in `$top_srcdir', not `..'.
2271 (autoconf --trace): When using `-i' we need the src tree, not the
2272 build tree.
2274 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2276 A single m4_require is enough.
2278 * m4sugar.m4 (_m4_require): $2 defaults to $1.
2279 Rename as...
2280 (m4_require): this.
2281 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_REQUIRE): Remove, use m4_require if you want
2282 to get into the gory details.
2284 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2286 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_ENVIRONMENT): Rename as...
2287 * m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): this.
2289 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2291 * tests/atspecific.m4 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): Don't neutralize
2292 autoconf's warnings.
2294 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2296 Set AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE which replaces AC_REQUIRE_CPP.
2297 The main difference is that the former requires AC_LANG_COMPILER.
2299 * aclang (AC_LANG_PREPROC, AC_LANG_PREPROC(C), AC_LANG_PREPROC(C++))
2300 (AC_LANG_PREPROC(Fortran 77), AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE): New
2301 macros. Issue a warning when looking for the Fortran 77
2302 preprocessor instead of an error.
2303 (AC_LANG_COMPILER): Check that it is run before the corresponding
2304 AC_LANG_PREPROC.
2305 (AC_PROG_C
2306 (AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE): Don't call directly
2307 AC_LANG_COMPILER(_AC_LANG), rather invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER so that
2308 the generic code in AC_LANG_COMPILER is run.
2309 (AC_REQUIRE_CPP): Use AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE.
2310 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Don't require being run before the
2311 corresponding AC_LANG_PREPROC: AC_LANG_COMPILER does it.
2314 Propagate AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE.
2316 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP, AC_EGREP_CPP): Use it instead of
2317 AC_REQUIRE_CPP.
2318 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_DECL_YYTEXT, AC_PATH_X): Don't
2319 AC_REQUIRE_CPP, inner macro will do it.
2320 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL, AC_C_STRINGIZE)
2321 (AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Likewise.
2322 (AC_C_STRINGIZE): Yeeks! The body of AC_CACHE_CHECK was not
2323 quoted. Use @%:@ do assist Emacs.
2326 For some reason (don't ask), this revamping revealed that
2327 AC_PROG_CC_STDC, because of the `break', does not clean its tmp
2328 files.
2330 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extract the creation of conftest.c
2331 out of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
2332 Be sure to clean the tmp files.
2334 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2336 * tests/m4sh.at (AS_DIRNAME & AS_DIRNAME_SED): Simplify.
2338 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2340 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): Don't require AC_PROG_CPP,
2341 since (i) you actually need a compiler, (ii) AC_TRY_LINK handles
2342 it.
2343 * acheaders.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Don't require AC_PROG_CPP,
2344 AC_TRY_CPP does it.
2346 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2348 Create acheaders.m4.
2350 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS)
2351 (AH_CHECK_HEADERS): Move to...
2352 * acheaders.m4: here, a new file.
2353 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT, AH_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT)
2354 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT, AC_HEADER_MAJOR, AC_HEADER_STAT, AC_HEADER_STDC)
2355 (AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT, AC_HEADER_TIME)
2356 (_AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_IN_TERMIOS_H)
2357 (_AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_IN_SYS_IOCTL, AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ): Move
2358 to...
2359 * acheaders.m4: here.
2361 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2363 Move AC_MSG_* into M4sh.
2365 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE, _AC_SH_QUOTE_IFELSE, _AC_ECHO): Move
2366 to...
2367 * m4sh.m4 (_AS_QUOTE, _AS_QUOTE_IFELSE, _AS_ECHO): here.
2368 (AS_MESSAGE, AS_WARN, AS_ERROR): New.
2369 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_NOTICE, AC_MSG_WARN, AC_MSG_ERROR): Use them.
2370 (AC_FD_MSG, AC_FD_LOG): Be AU_ALIAS'es of...
2371 (AS_MESSAGE_FD, AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD): new.
2372 Adjust all dependencies.
2374 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2376 * acgeneral.m4: Spread some AS_EXIT and AC_MSG_ERROR.
2377 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't play with trap, use ac_clean_files.
2379 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2381 Use AC_MSG_ERROR in `config.status', but adjust AC_MSG_* to use $0
2382 instead of hard coded `configure'.
2384 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_COPYRIGHT): s/configure.in/__file__/.
2385 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS): Append to AC_FD_LOG instead of creating
2386 it. No longer insert the configure banner.
2387 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Create config.log with the banner.
2388 Define `as_me'.
2389 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, _AC_INIT_PREPARE, AC_MSG_NOTICE)
2390 (AC_MSG_CHECKING, AC_MSG_RESULT, AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED)
2391 (AC_MSG_WARN, AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_TRY_CPP)
2392 (_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE, _AC_RUN_IFELSE)
2393 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_PROG_F77_V_OUTPUT): Use
2394 `$as_me' instead of `configure'.
2395 (AC_OUTPUT): Get rid of the UCA, and of the empty line when
2396 dumping confdefs.h into config.log.
2397 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use _AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS.
2398 Print a banner.
2399 Use AC_MSG_ERROR and AC_MSG_NOTICE.
2400 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_LOAD, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS)
2401 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Use AC_MSG_NOTICE.
2402 * tests/semantics.at (missing templates): Adjust.
2404 2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2406 * doc/autoconf.texi (autoconf Invocation): Explain `-W error'
2407 gives back traces.
2409 2000-11-11 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2411 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add missing m4 quotes.

2418 2000-11-11 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2420 * acfunctions.m4: Always quote first argument of AC_MSG_ERROR,
2421 AC_MSG_WARN, AC_MSG_CHECKING, AC_MSG_RESULT,
2422 AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED.
2423 * acgeneral.m4: Likewise.

2431 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Structures): Fix examples for
2432 AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE and AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV.
2434 2000-11-10 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2436 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Don't use
2437 uncommon abbreviations.
2439 2000-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2441 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Some information
2442 about `trap'.

2447 * autoscan.pl (scan_files): Eliminate a warning if no C files
2448 are found.
2449 (output): Likewise. Use AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR and AC_CONFIG_FILES
2450 instead of old-style arguments for AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT.
2452 2000-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2454 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): `&' in sed's rhs

2487 2000-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2489 When running
2491 AC_INIT
2492 AC_PROG_CC
2493 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE
2495 AC_PROG_CC is expanded twice, because AC_PROG_CC provides
2496 `AC_PROG_CC', and not `AC_LANG_COMPILER(C)' as expected by
2497 AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
2499 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG_COMPILER(C)): Instead of calling AC_PROG_CC,
2500 require it.
2501 (AC_LANG_COMPILER(C++), AC_LANG_COMPILER(Fortran 77)): Likewise.
2503 2000-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2505 * m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P, AS_DIRNAME_SED): Don't shell quote $1.
2506 Adjust callers.

2508 * tests/m4sh.at: Sort.
2510 2000-11-09 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2512 * install-sh: Use ":" instead of "true".
2514 2000-11-09 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2516 * tests/tools.at (Syntax of the scripts): Check "autoreconf"
2517 only once. Check "install-sh", "mkinstalldirs" and "missing".
2519 2000-11-09 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2521 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Use ":" instead of
2522 "true".

2544 2000-11-07 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2546 * autoconf.sh: Temporarily disable recognizing of abbreviated
2547 long options - it's hard to maintain them by hand.
2548 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
2549 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
2550 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
2551 * ifnames.sh: Likewise.

2555 * aclang.m4 (ac_cv_prog_gcc, ac_cv_prog_gxx, ac_cv_prog_g77):
2556 Be AU_DEFUN'd, not AU_ALIAS'd.
2557 Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
2558 * tests/mktests.sh (exclude_list): Skip these variables.
2560 2000-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2562 m4_syscmd was reestablished as `syscd' intead of `syscmd' because
2563 instead of `s/^m4_//', m4_copy_unm4 was running `s/[m4_]//'.
2565 * m4sugar.m4 (m4_copy_unm4): Fix.
2567 2000-11-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2569 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECKING): Is not an alias of AC_MSG_NOTICE,

2572 2000-11-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
2574 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Add a test to detect
2575 the d*/*1 vs d/s/1 bug.

2581 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2583 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULTS overrides AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR. Ouch.
2584 Reported by Paul Martinolich.
2586 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PROVIDE): Don't forget to `m4_provide'!!!
2587 Tss, novice...
2588 * tests/base.at (AC_REQUIRE & AC_PROVIDE): New test.
2590 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2592 * m4sugar.m4 (m4_location): When using its value, don't use
2593 `m4_defn', since m4_location is not a variable, it's a macro which
2594 expands to __file__:__line__.
2595 * tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn): New test.
2597 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2599 * tests/tools.at (unexpanded macros): Strengthen.
2600 * autoconf.sh (finalize.awk): Use `sub' instead of `index' +
2601 `substr'.
2602 More comments.
2604 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2606 * Makefile.am (.m4.m4f): Check that processing produces only
2607 comments and empty lines.
2608 Check that freezing produced no output.
2609 * m4sugar.m4: Commentize what was not.
2610 * m4sh.m4: Likewise.
2611 * aclang.m4: Formatting changes.
2613 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2615 * autoconf.m4 (define): Reestablish only after having read the
2616 `ac' files.
2617 Adjust all the Autoconf code to use `m4_define', not `define'.
2619 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2621 * acgeneral.m4 (AU_ALIAS): Don't forget to pass the arguments to
2622 the new macro...
2623 Reported by Ezra Peisach.
2624 * tests/semantics.m4 (AC_HAVE_FUNCS): New test.
2625 * tests/tools.at (autoupdate): As a benign side effect, updating a
2626 macro that takes no argument produces `UPDATED([])', no longer
2627 `UPDATED()'. Adjust the test.
2629 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2631 * autoconf.m4: Instead of reactivating the macros before reading
2632 Autoconf's files, do it afterwards, so that Autoconf promotes the
2633 right use, but users still can use the old names.
2634 Of course this revealed numerous non updated uses of old macros in
2635 Autoconf's files. Adjust them.
2636 But for the time being, keep `define' alive for Autoconf.
2638 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2640 AC_REQUIRE and AC_DEFUN_ONCE don't work properly together. This
2641 caused strange messages about AC_ARG_PROGRAM.
2642 Reported by Jim Meyering.
2644 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN_ONCE): Fix the indirection to
2645 m4_defun_once.
2646 * m4sugar.m4 (m4_defun_once): Also define
2647 `m4_location(MACRO-NAME)'. s/ac_warn/m4_warn/.
2648 Use `m4_defn' to read `m4_location'.
2649 * tests/base.at (AC_REQUIRE & AC_DEFUN_ONCE): Two new tests.
2651 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2653 Set up config.log earlier so that AC_MSG_ERROR and AC_MSG_WARN can
2654 be used early.
2656 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Call `_AC_INIT_PREPARE_FDS'.
2657 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Don't.
2658 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT, _AC_INIT_PREPARE_FDS): Rename as...
2659 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_ENVIRONMENT, _AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS): these,
2660 since they are called from `_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS', not
2661 `_AC_INIT_PREPARE'.
2662 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS): Dump `$@' in config.log, not
2663 `$ac_configure_args' which is not computed yet.
2665 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2667 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): TRIPLET can include `_' and
2668 `-'.
2669 Reported by Andreas Jaeger.
2671 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2673 * m4sh.m4 (_AS_UNSET_PREPARE): New macro, eved from
2674 _AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT, and fixed: set `FOO' before trying
2675 to unset it: `unset' exits 1 if the variable is not defined.
2676 (AS_UNSET): Require it. Use `as_unset' not `ac_unset'.
2677 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT): Use it.
2679 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2681 * m4sugar.m4 (builtin, changecom, changequote, decr, dumpdef)
2682 (incr, index, indir, len, syscmd, sysval, traceoff, traceon):
2683 Rename as...
2684 (m4_builtin, m4_changecom, m4_changequote, m4_decr, m4_dumpdef)
2685 (m4_incr, m4_index, m4_indir, m4_len, m4_syscmd, m4_sysval)
2686 (m4_traceoff, m4_traceon): these.
2687 * autoconf.m4 (builtin, changecom, decr, incr, index, indir, len)
2688 (syscmd, sysval, traceoff, traceon): Reactivate.
2690 2000-11-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2695 (substr, translit, m4_wrap): Rename as...
2696 (m4_debugfile, m4_debugmode, m4_exit, m4_wrap, m4_maketemp)
2697 (m4_patsubst, m4_regexp, m4_substr, m4_translit, m4_text_wrap): these.
2698 Adjust all dependencies.
2699 * acgeneral.m4: Adjust.
2700 * tests/m4sugar.at: Adjust.
2701 * autoconf.m4 (m4exit, patsubst, regexp, substr, translit):
2702 Reestablish them.
2704 2000-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2706 The documentation is not clear about the obsoleteness of
2707 `acconfig.h', `config.h.top', and `config.h.bot'.
2708 Reported by Aharon Robbins.
2710 * doc/autoconf.texi (Making configure Scripts)
2711 (Automatic Remaking, Defining Symbols, Distributing): Forget about
2712 these files.

2723 2000-11-02 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2725 * ifnames.sh: Put the opening brace on the same line with

2727 * tests/tools.at (AWK portability): Check ifnames.
2728 (ifnames): New test for ifnames.
2729 * THANKS: Updated.
2731 2000-11-02 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
2733 * m4/atconfig.m4 (AT_CONFIG): s/AT_TESTPATH/AUTOTEST_PATH/
2734 because AT_TESTPATH looks like a macro.
2735 * tests/atconfig.in: Likewise.
2737 2000-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2739 * autoconf.sh (trace.m4): Move all the M4 builtins into `at_'.
2740 Catch the failures of the big pipe.

2747 2000-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2749 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_CHECK): Check stderr first, since if both
2750 stdout and stderr fail, differences on the latter are probably
2751 more significant than on the former.
2753 2000-11-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2755 * autoconf.sh (task trace) [debug]: Instead of a long pipe, extend
2756 trace.m4.

2801 * autoconf.sh (task trace): When tracing `BUILTIN' also trace
2802 `m4_BUILTIN'.
2804 2000-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
2806 Autoupdate should not depend upon foreign macros.
2808 * autoupdate.sh (ac.m4): Use `_au_define', not `define'.
2809 (input.m4): Use `_au_BUILTIN' not `BUILTIN'.
2811 2000-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3069 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Use m4_toupper().
3070 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_FUNC): Use m4_toupper()/m4_tolower().
3072 2000-10-24 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3074 * m4sugar.m4 (m4_quote): Comment change.
3076 2000-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3078 Start avoiding dependence upon character ranges.
3080 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Introduce `ac_cr_AZ',
3081 `ac_cr_az', `ac_cr_09', `ac_cr_alnum' and `ac_hostname'.
3082 Spread their use.
3084 2000-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3086 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't play with `trap'.
3087 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Trap after having created config.log.
3088 Also trap on 0.
3089 When trapped, report why in config.log.
3090 (AC_MSG_WARN, AC_MSG_ERROR): Also output the message in
3091 config.log.
3093 2000-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3095 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Rename as...
3096 (AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): this.
3097 s/X$1/X[]$1/ so that when $1 is a macro, it's given a chance to be
3098 expanded.
3099 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Use AC_SHELL_DIRNAME.
3100 Quote properly.
3102 2000-10-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3104 * tests/tools.m4 (Syntax of the scripts): Specify the path to the
3105 tested program, some shells don't honor the PATH with `sh PROG'.
3107 2000-10-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3109 Since GNU M4 now comes with its libm4 (binary), to avoid
3110 ambiguities let's rename `libm4' (M4 code) as `m4sugar':
3112 Readability And Greater Understanding Stands 4 M4sugar
3114 name coined by Lars J. Aas.
3116 * libm4.m4: Rename as...
3117 * m4sugar.m4: this.
3118 All dependencies adjusted.
3120 2000-10-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3122 * tests/mktests.sh (update_exclude_list, syntax_exclude_list): Add
3123 `AC_PREREQ'.
3124 * tests/tools.m4: Globally, don't use `../' to invoke the tested
3125 tools, since the PATH is properly set, and in most cases it
3126 obfuscates the test code.
3127 (autoupdating AC_PREREQ): New tests.
3129 2000-10-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3131 In order to check that all the CPP symbols which are AC_DEFINE'd
3132 are properly templated, autoheader traces
3133 AC_DEFINE/AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED. Only literals can be traced, and
3134 actually tracing non literals produces invalid autoheader input.
3135 Hence, provide a means to trace calls to
3136 AC_DEFINE/AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED with literals.
3138 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFINE_TRACE, AC_DEFINE_TRACE_LITERAL): New
3139 macros.
3140 (AC_DEFINE, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Use AC_DEFINE_TRACE.
3141 * autoheader.sh: Trace AC_DEFINE_TRACE_LITERAL, not
3142 AC_DEFINE/AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
3144 2000-10-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3146 Let autoupdate change AC_PREREQ to require the current version of
3147 Autoconf.
3149 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_VERSION_UNLETTER, _AC_VERSION_COMPARE): Move
3150 to...
3151 * libm4.m4 (m4_version_unletter, m4_version_compare): here.
3152 Adjust dependencies.
3153 * acgeneral.m4 (AU::AC_PREREQ): New macro.
3154 * autoupdate.sh: Fail when `m4 input.m4' fails.
3156 2000-10-21 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3158 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_CHOWN): Remove temporary files on exit.

3163 * aclang.m4 (_AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Likewise.

3166 2000-10-20 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3168 * tests/tools.m4 (autoupdating AC_LINK FILES): Clean up "src1"
3169 and "src2" at the end of the test.
3171 2000-10-19 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

3181 2000-10-18 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3183 * mdate-sh: Removed, its copy remains in the doc/ directory.
3185 2000-10-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3187 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Use `$' when reading a variable.
3189 2000-10-18 Morten Eriksen <mortene@sim.no>
3191 * aclang.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_G): Use the _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE macro
3192 instead of reinventing the wheel. This also takes care of a bug
3193 where the "-g" option was accepted if the compiler silently exits
3194 with status unequal to 0.
3195 (_AC_PROG_CXX_G): Likewise.
3196 (AC_PROG_CC): As _AC_PROG_CC_G depends on $ac_objext and
3197 $ac_exeext, move the expansion of _AC_OBJEXT and _AC_EXEEXT in
3198 front of _AC_PROG_CC_G.
3199 (AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Likewise.
3201 2000-10-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3203 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_INIT): Avoid foo="`bar`", foo=`bar` is
3204 enough.
3205 Use grep to check the presence of a string in a stream.
3206 * m4/atconfig.m4: Quote.
3208 2000-10-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3210 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Quote the `sed' fall back.
3212 2000-10-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3214 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_LN_S): If neither `ln -s' nor `ln' work,
3215 fall back to `cp'.
3217 2000-10-17 Morten Eriksen <mortene@sim.no>
3219 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOL): As AC_CHECK_PROG first tests the
3220 value of the VARIABLE argument when looking for executables, we
3221 need to set it to the correct value from AC_CHECK_TOOL when not
3222 just passing on the incoming VARIABLE directly.
3223 (AC_CHECK_TOOLS, AC_PATH_TOOL): Likewise.
3225 2000-10-17 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>
3227 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Move the
3228 _AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT invocation to...
3229 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): here, so that we keep the same known
3230 environment for more of the script.
3232 2000-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3234 * doc/autoconf.texi (The GNU build system): Sketch of new a
3235 chapter.
3237 2000-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3239 Somehow, the adjustment of `mktests.sh' claimed on 2000-10-17 by
3240 myself (`Fix autoupdate...') was not applied.
3242 * tests/mktests.sh (update_exclude_egrep): Add AC_INIT, AC_OUTPUT,
3243 AC_LINK_IFELSE.
3245 2000-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3247 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_CHECK_PROGS, AC_PATH_PROG)
3248 (AC_PATH_PROGS, AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Fix
3249 the quotation.
3250 (AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Check with the
3251 $ac_tool_prefix iff it is not empty.
3253 2000-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3255 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Some notes on the
3256 portability of Flex.
3258 2000-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3260 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE)
3261 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Before compiling, remove the files expected to
3262 be produced.
3263 (_AC_LINK_IFELSE, _AC_RUN_IFELSE): You don't create object files,
3264 so don't remove them.

3274 messages.
3276 * libm4.m4 (m4_location): New macro.
3277 (m4_errprint): Rename as...
3278 (m4_diagnose): this. Use m4_location.
3279 Adjust dependencies.
3280 (m4_errprint): New macro, similar to `errprint' but for an
3281 additional trailing `\n'.
3282 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN, AC_DEFUN_ONCE): Define `m4_location($1)'
3283 to the current location (i.e., that of the definition of $1).
3284 (_AC_DEFUN_PRO, _AC_REQUIRE): Also push the location of the
3285 current macro in the stack.
3286 (_AC_EXPANSION_STACK_DUMP): Adjust.
3288 2000-10-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3290 Fix autoupdate: updating `AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS' was failing because
3291 it includes another AU defined macro.
3293 * autoupdate.sh (input.m4:_au_defun): New macro.
3294 (au.m4): Use it instead of inlining _au_enable/_au_disable
3295 invocations in the definition of all these macros.
3296 (input.m4:__au_enable, input.m4:__au_disable): New macros.
3297 (input.m4:_au_enable, input.m4:_au_disable): Use them.
3298 * tests/mktests.sh (update_exclude_list): Add `AC_OUTPUT'.
3299 Running it twice in a configure.in is not valid.
3300 Add `AC_LINK_FILES' since it requires arguments.
3301 * tests/tools.m4 (autoupdating AC_LINK_FILES): New test.
3303 2000-10-17 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
3305 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add acversion.m4.
3306 (INSTALL.txt): Put into $(srcdir).
3307 (acversion.m4): Build here ...
3308 * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Not here.

3338 * tests/aclocal.m4: Don't consider variables @, '*', '?' and
3339 '#' in the output of `set' - they are modified by zsh.
3341 2000-10-14 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3343 * m4/missing.m4 (AM_MISSING_PROG): Use $SHELL to run "missing".
3344 * configure.in: Don't add $SHELL to the path of help2man -
3345 it is already added by AM_MISSING_PROG.
3347 2000-10-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3349 * tests/mktests.sh: If ever it fails, touch the output files
3350 ``a` la missing''.
3352 2000-10-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3354 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINKER_OPTION): Ahem, err, use `$' when

3369 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Fixed nasty typo.
3371 2000-10-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

3392 2000-10-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3394 Macros used by AC_LANG_COMPILER macros shall not AC_REQUIRE
3395 AC_LANG_COMPILER by the way of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE etc.
3397 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_EXEEXT): Use _AC_LINK_IFELSE, not
3398 AC_LINK_IFELSE to avoid AC_REQUIREing AC_PROG_CC which precisely
3399 requires _AC_EXEEXT.
3400 Don't run _AC_CYGWIN, _AC_MINGW32, _AC_EMXOS2.
3401 * aclang.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_G): Use _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, not

3473 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_LEX): Use AC_DEFUN_ONCE.
3474 (AC_DECL_YYTEXT): Don't use AC_REQUIRE because autoupdate

3476 outside AC_DEFUN.
3478 2000-10-02 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3480 * tests/Makefile.am: Macros defined by AC_DEFUN_ONCE should

3483 2000-09-28 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3485 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_UNSET): Don't rely on variable

3540 2000-09-25 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

3562 (command line interface): Check stderr from autoconf.
3564 2000-09-21 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3566 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Fix usage info for
3567 config.status - file arguments are optional.
3569 2000-09-21 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3571 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Ensure that config.status
3572 exits if any input file is missing.
3573 * tests/semantics.m4 (missing templates): Test it.
3575 2000-09-21 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3577 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_TMPDIR): Don't check status of variable
3578 assignment - it's undefined in ash 0.2.
3580 2000-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3582 * src/atgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK): Display stderr including when the
3583 test failed because of stdout.
3585 2000-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3587 * tests/atgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
3588 (AT_INIT): Let `at_stop_on_error' and `at_verbose' be `:'/`false'
3589 variables instead of `'/`1'.
3590 `at_check_stds' replaces `at_no_redirs'.
3591 Rename `Snippet 3' as `Snippet 4'.
3592 Introduce `Snippet 3' for variable initializations.
3593 Adjust the dependencies.
3594 (AT_CHECK): Don't show diff's result unless verbose.
3596 2000-09-20 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3598 * tests/Makefile.am: AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM and AC_F77_FUNC excluded
3599 from testing because they require an argument.
3600 * tests/atspecific.m4: Make sure that configure doesn't write
3601 anything to stderr.
3603 2000-09-20 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3605 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_IN_TERMIOS_H): Cache
3606 variable wasn't always set inside AC_CACHE_CHECK.
3607 (_AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_IN_SYS_IOCTL): Likewise.
3608 From Nicolas Joly.
3610 2000-09-20 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3612 * libm4.m4 (m4_ifvanl): Don't output a newline for empty
3613 arguments.
3615 2000-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3617 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO): Rename as...
3618 (AT_CHECK_MACRO): this. All dependencies adjusted.
3620 2000-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3622 * tests/aclocal.m4.new (AC_ENV_SAVE): Skip POW_LIB, used by
3623 AC_FUNC_STRTOD.
3624 From Bernard Dautrevaux.
3626 2000-09-19 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3628 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_DATA): Use _ATEOF instead of EOF.
3630 2000-09-19 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3632 * tests/semantics.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP with warnings): Minor
3633 simplification.
3635 2000-09-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3637 * autoconf.sh (optarg): More robust expr invocation.
3638 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
3639 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
3640 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
3641 Reported by Bernard Dautrevaux.
3643 2000-09-19 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3645 * acgeneral.m4 (AU_ALIAS): Do not use `defn' since then autoupdate
3646 would replace an old macro call with the new macro body instead of
3647 the new macro call.
3648 * tests/tools.m4 (autoupdate): Test an AU_ALIAS'd macro update.
3650 2000-09-19 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3652 * tests/atspecific.m4 (_AT_CHECK_AC_MACRO): New macro.
3653 (AT_TEST_MACRO): Use it.
3654 * tests/semantics.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP with warnings, AC_PROG_CPP
3655 without warnings): New tests.
3657 2000-09-18 Rüdiger Kuhlmann <autoconf-list@ruediger-kuhlmann.de>
3659 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Check for configure.gnu
3660 as well.
3661 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Likewise.
3662 (NEWS): Note checking for configure.gnu.
3663 * doc/autoconf.texi: Document checking for configure.gnu when
3664 recursing subdirectories.
3666 2000-09-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
3668 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Restore the initial value
3669 of LIBS. Otherwise, everyone ends up linking with -lelf for some
3670 configurations.
3671 Reported by Mike Stone.
3673 2000-09-14 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3675 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP): Use double quotes in the for loop
3676 and eliminate ac_tmp_cpp.
3677 (AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Use double quotes in the for loop and
3678 eliminate ac_tmp_cxxcpp.
3680 2000-09-14 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3682 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_TRY_CPP): Don't filter out conftest.$ac_ext
3683 from the output - it is only printed by Visual C that gives
3684 correct exit status.
3685 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP): Don't try '${CC-cc} -nologo -E'
3686 by the same reason.
3688 2000-09-12 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3690 * aclocal.m4 (_AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS): Don't use AC_REQUIRE_CPP -
3691 it's useless here. Rename to ...
3692 (_AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS): ... this.
3694 2000-09-12 Rüdiger Kuhlmann <autoconf-list@ruediger-kuhlmann.de>
3696 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Exclude c:install on AmigaOS.
3698 2000-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3700 The test suite fails on some hosts because for instance
3701 AC_INIT
3702 AC_CHECK_FUNC(exit)
3703 will not look for a compiler, it will just use `cc'.
3704 Macros that need a compiler should require one.
3706 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_REQUIRE): New macro, which is actually the
3707 previous version of AC_REQUIRE plus the possibility to distinguish
3708 the name of the symbol being AC_PROVIDE'd, and the text to expand.
3709 (AC_REQUIRE): Reimplement in terms of _AC_REQUIRE.
3710 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG_COMPILER, AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE)
3711 (AC_LANG_COMPILER(C), AC_LANG_COMPILER(C++))
3712 (AC_LANG_COMPILER(Fortran 77)):
3713 New macros.
3714 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE):
3715 Require a compiler.
3716 (AC_TRY_RUN): Formatting changes.
3717 * acfunctions.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): Quote properly. The previous
3718 changes revealed the weaknesses of this macro.
3720 2000-09-12 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3722 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_TRY_CPP): New macro. It runs the preprocessor
3723 and checks whether it produces errors or warnings. Don't put grep
3724 output into a variable, use another grep instead.
3725 (AC_TRY_CPP): Use _AC_TRY_CPP. Copy conftest.err to config.log
3726 if the case of an error.
3727 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(Fortran 77)):
3728 define AC_LANG_ABBREV to the short language name.
3729 (_AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS): New macro. It checks whether the current
3730 preprocessor can be used to check for existence of headers.
3731 Most code taken from ...
3732 (AC_PROG_CPP): ... here. Use _AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS. Use shell
3733 "for" to find working CPP. Use AC_LANG_PUSH(C) and AC_LANG_POP -
3734 it's a macro for C only.
3735 (AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Rewritten using _AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS.
3737 2000-09-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3739 * autoupdate.sh (sed): Look for GNU sed.
3740 (usage): Ask for GNU sed.
3742 2000-09-12 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3744 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_EGREP_CPP): Use additional quotes instead of
3745 changequote.
3747 2000-09-12 Rüdiger Kuhlmann <autoconf-list@ruediger-kuhlmann.de>
3749 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WIDTH): Add trailing
3750 semicolon to final fi.
3752 2000-09-11 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3754 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_WARNING_ERROR_IFELSE)
3755 (__AC_WARNING_ERROR_IFELSE): New macros for checking whether
3756 warnings should be considered errors.
3757 (_AC_DIAGNOSE): Use _AC_WARNING_ERROR_IFELSE.
3759 2000-09-11 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3761 * autoconf.sh: Properly report names of unexpanded macros that
3762 begin with an underscore.
3764 2000-09-11 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3766 * doc/autoconf.texi (Preset Output Variables): Correctly specify
3767 what languages are affected by CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS.
3768 Extended description of LDFLAGS and LIBS.
3769 (Compilers and Preprocessors, C Compiler Characteristics):
3770 Recommend Automake as the source of ansi2knr.
3771 (Autoconf Language, Quotation and Nested Macros): English fixes.
3772 (Quotation and Nested Macros): Unclear example replaced with
3773 an explanation of when m4 expands quotes. Added explanation why
3774 unquoted calls are dangerous.
3776 2000-09-08 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3778 * doc/autoconf.texi: Always use one space before the opening
3779 parenthesis in @defmac.
3781 2000-09-06 Morten Eriksen <mortene@sim.no>
3783 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_OBJEXT): No longer use AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
3784 which uses $ac_objext hence depends upon _AC_OBJEXT.
3785 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Call
3786 _AC_OBJEXT before _AC_EXEEXT since the latter needs $ac_objext.
3788 2000-09-06 Bernard Dautrevaux <dautrevaux@objectlive.com>
3790 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_EXEEXT): Set extension to void if linking
3791 creates both an unsuffixed file and suffixed ones.
3793 2000-09-06 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3795 * autoconf.texi: English and typo fixes.
3797 2000-09-05 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3799 * autoconf.sh: Consider undefined macros as errors.
3800 * tests/base.m4 (unexpanded macros): Expect error, not warning.
3802 2000-09-05 Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
3804 * aclang.m4 (_AC_PROG_F77_GNU): Run command from standard input so
3805 that we can get some standard output.
3807 2000-09-04 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
3809 * autoscan.pl: Repair broken Getopt::Long use.
3811 2000-09-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3813 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.49b.
3814 * Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Depend upon configure.in.
3816 2000-08-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3818 Version 2.49a.
3820 2000-08-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3822 * aclang.m4 (AC_NO_EXECUTABLES): New macro.
3824 2000-08-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3826 * tests/base.m4 (AC_SHELL_MKDIR_P): Remove `a' too.
3828 2000-08-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3830 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.49a.
3832 2000-08-11 J. David Anglin <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>
3834 * autoconf.sh: Change `exit N' to `(exit N); exit' to provide
3835 the correct exit status when an exit trap is taken.
3837 2000-08-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3839 * acfunctions.m4 (AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AM_FUNC_FNMATCH,
3840 AM_FUNC_MKTIME, AM_FUNC_OBSTACK, AM_FUNC_STRTOD): Deactivate
3841 their AU_ALIAS definition: Automake 1.4 does not quote the name of
3842 these macros, hence when Autoconf reads Automake's definition the
3843 name is expanded with unpredictable results.
3845 2000-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3847 * autoreconf.sh (Installing Autoconf extensions files): Remove.
3849 2000-08-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3851 * autoconf.sh (finalize.awk): Don't leave spaces before the user
3852 function calls.
3853 Reported by John David Anglin.
3854 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Start the AWK
3855 section.
3856 * tests/tools.m4 (AWK portability): New test.
3858 2000-08-08 Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
3860 * Makefile.am: Substitute @bindir@ in shell scripts, needed by
3861 autoheader.
3863 2000-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3865 * acfunctions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA, AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Simplify
3866 ${foo} into $foo.
3867 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++)): Move some internal
3868 comments into the header comment.
3869 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP): Likewise.
3871 2000-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3873 * tests/tools.m4 (undefined macros): New test.
3875 2000-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3877 * autoconf.sh (finalize.awk): New subtool, eved from the previous
3878 literal AWK program that performed the `oline' and quadrigraphs
3879 substitution.
3880 Fix its `oline' computation which was dead wrong when there are
3881 empty lines (i.e., always).
3882 Enhance it in order to look for and report unexpanded macro.
3883 Don't let it pretend there are bugs in Autoconf (c:, the test
3884 suite makes this scenario pretty unlikely as opposed to an actual
3885 user bug.
3886 Catch `m4_' too.
3887 Remove the shell snippet which used to do this.
3889 2000-08-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3891 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_NOTICE): New macro, suggested by Pavel
3892 Roskin.
3893 (AC_MSG_ERROR): Use it.
3895 2000-08-04 Rüdiger Kuhlmann <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>
3897 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_RANLIB): Use AC_CHECK_TOOL.
3898 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Typos.
3900 2000-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3902 Solaris' /usr/ucb/expr, and SunOS' /usr/bin/expr fail with the `:'
3903 operator when \(\) is used, and matches a string longer than 120
3904 characters.
3905 Reported by Geoff Keating.
3907 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some words about
3908 this.
3909 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Fall back to echo|sed if expr
3910 fails.
3911 From Paul Eggert.
3913 2000-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3915 * acgeneral.m4: (AC_RUN_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE):
3916 Don't create the source file if none is given, and in this case,
3917 don't remove it either.
3919 2000-08-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3921 * libm4.m4 (m4_ifvanl): New macro.
3922 * acgeneral.m4: Use it.

3929 _AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_IN_SYS_IOCTL, AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ,
3930 AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): New macros from both Automake and the
3931 fileutils.
3933 2000-08-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3935 * aclang.m4 (_AC_PROG_CC_G, _AC_PROG_CXX_G): Recent changes
3936 inverted the results. Fix that.
3938 2000-08-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3940 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): More emphasis on
3941 the dangers of character ranges.
3942 From Paul Eggert.
3944 2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3946 * autoheader.sh (_ac_warnings): Be robust to LC_COLLATE.
3947 `IFS=,; echo ,' will give a comma. Take this into account.
3949 2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3951 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Also try to find $target_alias-cc.
3953 2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3955 AC_VALIDATE_CACHED_SYSTEM_TUPLE no longer works properly since the
3956 AC_CANONICAL_* revamping.
3957 Reported by Peter Eisentraut.
3958 In fact, let's just use the precious variables handling.
3960 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_VALIDATE_CACHED_SYSTEM_TUPLE): Obsoleted.
3961 (_AC_ARG_VAR_PRECIOUS): New macro, eved from...
3962 (AC_ARG_VAR): this macro. Adjust.
3963 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): `build_alias', `host_alias', and
3964 `target_alias' are precious.
3965 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
3967 2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3969 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT): Neutralize also
3970 LC_COLLATE and LC_NUMERIC.
3971 * autoconf.m4: Don't rely on character ranges with tr.
3972 * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Adjust.
3974 2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
3976 * acfunctions.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_STRTOD, AC_FUNC_STRTOD,
3977 AM_FUNC_STRTOD): New macros, from Automake.

4003 2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4005 Create acfunctions.m4, in charge of the macros related to
4006 functions.
4008 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FUNC, AC_CHECK_FUNCS, AC_REPLACE_FUNCS):
4009 Move to...
4010 * acfunctions.m4: here, new file.
4011 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_CHOWN,
4012 AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS,

4018 AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_VPRINTF, AC_FUNC_WAIT3, AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL,
4019 AC_FUNC_STRCOLL, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED): Likewise.
4020 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
4022 Move also the old definitions into acfunctions.m4, and adjust the
4023 test suite.
4025 * acgeneral.m4 (AU_ALIAS): New macro.
4026 * acoldnames (AC_FUNC_CHECK, AC_HAVE_FUNCS, AC_ALLOCA,

4028 AC_UTIME_NULL, AC_VFORK, AC_VPRINTF, AC_WAIT3, AM_FUNC_FNMATCH,
4029 AM_FUNC_MKTIME, fp_FUNC_FNMATCH): Move to...
4030 * acfunctions.m4: here, using AU_ALIAS.
4031 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_FD_CC, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Use AU_ALIAS to
4032 define them.
4033 * acoldnames.m4: Use AU_ALIAS instead of AU_DEFUN.
4034 * tests/Makefile.am (MACRO_FILES): Adjust.
4036 2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4038 * autoscan.pl: Use Getopt::Long;

4046 2000-08-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4048 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Adjust so that there are no
4049 empty lines in the header comments (should be `#' alone instead).
4050 Reported by Didier Verna.
4052 2000-08-01 Greg A. Woods <woods@weird.com>
4054 * doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables):
4055 Clarifications and typos.
4057 2000-08-01 Didier Verna <didier@lrde.epita.fr>
4059 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_REVISION): Put a dot at the end of the line.
4060 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Output the bug report address at
4061 the end of a `configure --help' output.

4342 !*^&$@ sed portability problems... The test on AC_CHECK_TYPES is
4343 failing on RISC/OS 4.52 because of the forget-to-reset-the-flag
4344 bug in its sed.
4346 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Work around this bug.

4378 Stop being ridiculous :*(
4380 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): When using m4 the argument
4381 is named `$1' not `$dir'.
4382 When using m4 you ought to quote properly.
4383 When using m4, you should check that there are not too many shell
4384 quotes (inside the macro itself, and where it is called).
4385 When you do this, Autoconf, hm, works better.

4397 LDFLAGS variable, and...
4398 (AC_CHECK_HEADER): do the same for the CPPFLAGS variable.

4431 takes an additional argument: action to perform when non-literal
4432 argument.
4433 (AC_LIBOBJ): Use it.
4434 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Use _AC_LIBOBJ, not AC_LIBOBJ.
4436 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4438 LANGUAGE should be neutralized too.

4443 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4445 Set autoconf's default warnings to `syntax'.
4447 In fact, honor the most recent specification in the concatenation
4448 of `syntax',$WARNINGS,<options> in that order.
4449 Implement support for `none' and `noCATEGORY' so that the options
4450 may override the previous choices.

4513 * autoreconf.sh: Don't run automake when the package is not using
4514 it.

4516 config.h to be newer than stamp-h and vice-versa.
4517 Remove an unbalanced `fi'.
4519 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4521 * autoreconf.sh (run_aclocal): Rename as `uses_aclocal' to avoid

4540 (alflags.sed): New sub sed program.
4541 Compute the flags of aclocal from Makefile.am instead of
4542 Makefile.in, it is unlikely that aclocal be used but not automake,
4543 while it is convenient to be able to run autoreconf even if
4544 automake was not run yet.
4545 Use `autoconf --trace' to get the list of configuration headers.
4547 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4549 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PLAIN_SCRIPT): New macro.

4564 * autoreconf.sh (force): Instead of yes/no, use :/false.

4579 prog'.
4580 * acgeneral.m4: Likewise.
4581 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
4582 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools, Coding Style):
4583 Likewise.
4585 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4587 * autoconf.sh: When using `mktemp -d', be sure that the directory
4588 was created.
4589 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
4590 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
4592 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4594 * AUTHORS: Update.
4595 * doc/autoconf.texi: Free François Pinard from iftex and ifinfo,
4596 use @,c.
4597 Don't use `@code{m4}' when you mean M4, just as you shall not say
4598 `@code{cc}' when you refer to the C language.
4600 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4602 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(Fortran 77)): Set
4603 ac_gnu_compiler.
4604 (_AC_PROG_CC_GNU, _AC_PROG_CXX_GNU, _AC_PROG_F77_GNU): Compute
4605 ac_gnu_compiler.

4616 * doc/autoconf.texi (Multiple Cases, Quotation Rule Of Thumb):
4617 Follow the coding style.
4619 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4621 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsoleting Macros): Is not a subsection of
4622 `Dependencies Between Macros', but rather a section of `Writing
4623 Macros'.
4625 2000-07-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4627 * doc/autoconf.texi (Coding Style): New node.
4629 2000-07-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4631 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_MKDIR_P): s/ac_dir/ac_mkdir_dir/ to avoid
4632 clashes with the numerous ac_dir loops.
4633 Reported by Lars J. Aas.
4635 2000-07-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4637 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Return `.', not `' when there
4638 is no directory part.
4640 2000-07-07 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
4642 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_CHECK): Fix a redirection problem.
4644 2000-07-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4646 AC_REVISION must not AC_REQUIRE AC_INIT, it leaves the diversions
4647 in a messy state. Don't even try to emulate AC_REQUIRE: just
4648 introduce a diversion just for AC_REVISION, and let the magic
4649 happen.
4650 Fixes Autoconf PR/134, from Raja R Harinath.
4652 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_DIVERT(REVISION)): New diversion.
4653 (AC_REVISION): Don't require AC_INIT, dump in your diversion.
4654 (_AC_INIT): Delete, inline its body in...
4655 (AC_INIT): here.
4656 (_AC_INIT_NOTICE, _AC_INIT_COPYRIGHT): New macros so that...
4657 (AC_INIT): be more uniform.
4658 (AC_INIT, AC_REVISION, AC_COPYRIGHT): `define', don't AC_DEFUN.
4660 2000-07-07 Martin Wilck <martin@tropos.de>
4662 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Keep -lm, if a Fortran
4663 compiler needs it, it is likely to be required when linking C/C++
4664 with Fortran.
4665 <-YP,*>: Fix the list of arguments to loop on.
4666 Don't mess with the user variable name space.
4667 <ac_ld_run_path>: Prepend LD_RUN_PATH directories with -R only
4668 when running Solaris (without this, link errors occur).
4670 2000-07-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4672 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Fix quotation.
4674 2000-07-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4676 * aclang.m4: Formatting and quotations changes.
4678 2000-07-06 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
4680 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C++)): Be a copy of
4681 AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C), not AC_LANG_INT_SAVE_TRY(C).
4682 Fixes Autoconf PR/133.
4684 2000-07-06 Mo DeJong <mdejong@cygnus.com>
4686 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Change
4687 warning message printed when only --host is given. Fix printing
4688 of multiple compiler cache values, use PATH argument.
4689 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG_COMPILER_WORKS): Print the cross compile
4690 status, fix problem where two results were printed at once.
4692 2000-07-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4694 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_TMPDIR): Typo.
4696 2000-07-06 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>
4698 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Behave properly when the
4699 argument has trailing slashes, and when its depth is just one
4700 (`/tmp').
4702 2000-07-06 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
4704 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): New macro.
4705 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS):
4706 Use _AC_SHELL_DIRNAME.
4708 2000-07-06 Martin Wilck <martin@tropos.de>
4710 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Add two compilers,
4711 lf95 (Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran) and pgf77 (Portland Group Fortran)
4712 (_AC_PROG_F77_G): Some Fortran compilers produce stdout/stderr
4713 output even if no errors occur - check exit status rather than
4714 output.
4716 2000-07-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4718 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_TMPDIR): When using `mktemp -d', be sure
4719 that the directory was created: under Ultrix 4.3 it just returns
4720 a name, but does not create the directory.
4721 Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
4723 2000-07-03 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
4725 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_MKDIR_P): New macro.
4726 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS,
4727 AC_PROG_INSTALL): Use AC_SHELL_MKDIR_P.
4728 * tests/base.m4 (AC_SHELL_MKDIR_P): Test it.
4730 2000-07-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4732 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_LOAD): Be ready to read the cache even
4733 when `.' is not in the PATH.
4734 * doc/install.texi (configure Invocation): Adjust.
4736 2000-06-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
4738 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_REQUIRE): Tweak a diagnostic.
4740 2000-06-30 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>
4742 Re-enable the old behavior of --host and --build.
4744 * acgeneral.m4 (build_alias): Set to host_alias if --build is not
4745 given but --host is, and enable cross-compile auto-detection. If
4746 both are, and are different, enable cross compilation.
4747 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Adjust help message.
4748 (cross_compiling): Enclose in quotes when testing.
4749 * aclang.m4 (_AC_LANG_COMPILER_WORKS): If cross_compiling is
4750 maybe, set it to yes or no depending on the result of the
4751 execution test.
4752 * doc/autoconf.texi: Document the change.
4753 * doc/install.texi: Likewise.
4755 2000-06-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
4757 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_GETLOADAVG): Put quotes around use of
4758 `$ac_cv_lib_elf_elf_begin', since that variable may not be defined.
4759 From Volker Borchert.
4761 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4763 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix various typos.
4764 (Limitations of Usual Tools) <sed>: Anchors and groups.
4765 (Language Choice): Don't mention cross_compiling here, do it...
4766 (Specifying Names) <--host>: here.
4767 (Obsoleting Macros): Don't document AC_DEFUNCT, it's going to be
4768 removed anyway, obsoleted itself by AU_DEFUN.
4770 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4772 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Swap the arguments of `regexp'.
4773 Reported by Alexandre Oliva.
4775 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4777 * autoreconf.sh (automake, aclocal): New variables. Import
4778 $AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL.
4779 Pass --verbose to the tools.
4780 Avoid using plenty of variables, just append to existing
4781 variables.
4782 * doc/autoconf.texi: List options in the order --help, --version,
4783 --verbose, --debug, and then specific options.
4785 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4787 * doc/autoconf.texi: Various Texinfo adjustments.
4788 (Specifying Names): When describing the system triplets, use the
4789 same names as the shell variables.
4790 (System Type Variables): Delete, merge its content into...
4791 (Canonicalizing): here.
4792 Clarify the difference between the `foo_target' and `foo'
4793 variables.
4795 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4797 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS):
4798 s/echo | sed/expr/.
4800 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4802 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS,
4803 AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS, AC_CONFIG_FILES): Use a shell variable instead
4804 of an m4 variable to store what must be done, so that sh
4805 conditionals are honored.
4806 (_AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS,
4807 _AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Adjust.
4808 * tests/semantics.m4: Test the four AC_CONFIG sisters.
4809 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Actions): Promote the use of
4810 literals, show it works properly with sh conditionals.
4812 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4814 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Too many people put AC_DEFINE in
4815 the commands-to-set-it part of it. Give them a warning.
4817 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4819 * doc/autoconf.texi (Prerequisite Macros): More about AC_REQUIRE.
4821 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4823 Given better names to the diversions.
4825 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_DIVERT(NORMAL_2), _AC_DIVERT(NORMAL_3),
4826 _AC_DIVERT(NORMAL_4)): Delete, unused.
4827 (_AC_DIVERT(NORMAL_1), _AC_DIVERT(NORMAL), AC_DIVERT_DIVERSION):
4828 Rename as _AC_DIVERT(PREPARE), _AC_DIVERT(BODY),
4829 _AC_DIVERT_DIVERSION.
4831 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4833 The current implementation of AC_REQUIRE fails on
4835 | AC_DEFUN([TEST1], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])REQUIRE([TEST2b])])
4836 | AC_DEFUN([TEST2a], [])
4837 | AC_DEFUN([TEST2b], [REQUIRE([TEST3])])
4838 | AC_DEFUN([TEST3], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])])
4839 |
4840 | AC_INIT
4841 | TEST1
4843 because it produces TEST3; TEST2a; TEST2b; TEST1.
4844 Fix this bug, implement the solution provided by Axel Thimm,
4845 and test AC_REQUIRE.
4847 * acgeneral.m4: Document this implementation.
4848 (_AC_DEFUN_PRO, _AC_DEFUN_EPI, AC_REQUIRE): Be sure that macros
4849 are emitted in the same order as they are expanded.
4850 (AC_REQUIRE): Forbid being calling out of an AC_DEFUN'd macro (in
4851 particular the top level).
4852 * tests/base.m4 (AC_REQUIRE): New test.
4854 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4856 A macro which is not defined with AC_DEFUN should not be
4857 AC_REQUIRE'd, since it doesn't AC_PROVIDE itself.
4859 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_REQUIRE): Issue a warning when after expansion,
4860 the macro is not AC_PROVIDE'd.
4862 2000-06-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4864 Various cleanups.
4866 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PRO, AC_EPI): Rename as _AC_DEFUN_PRO and
4867 _AC_DEFUN_EPI.
4868 Adjust dependencies.
4869 (AC_DEFUN): Remove the not-to-be-released specializing mechanism.
4870 (AC_SPECIALIZE): Remove for the same reasons.
4871 Adjust dependencies.
4872 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS, _AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, _AC_INIT_VERSION,
4873 _AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT, _AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW,
4874 _AC_CHECK_TYPE_OLD): Define via `define' instead of `AC_DEFUN':
4875 they are not related to AC_REQUIRE in any way.
4876 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_ECHO, _AC_DECL_YYTEXT, _AC_PATH_X_XMKMF,
4877 _AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Define via `define' instead of `AC_DEFUN'.
4879 2000-06-19 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4881 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOL): Use two variables in order to
4882 avoid cache variable conflicts between AC_CHECK_PROG invocations.
4883 (AC_PATH_TOOL): Fix same bugs as in 6/9/00 fixes to AC_CHECK_TOOL.
4884 Pass correct arguments to AC_CHECK_PATH (different from
4885 AC_CHECK_PROG). Use AC_CHECK_PATH cache variable, not
4886 AC_CHECK_PROG var, and use two variables for two invocations as
4887 above. Quote AC_CHECK_* args.
4889 2000-06-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4891 The test suite reveals AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS fails on RISC/OS.
4893 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS) <confdef2opt.sed>: Reset the
4894 t flag between each cycle.
4895 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some about the t
4896 flag in sed.
4898 2000-06-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4900 * acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT, AC_OBJEXT): Don't obsolete them, let
4901 them be empty, so that Automake still provide support for $(EXEEXT).
4903 2000-06-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4905 * autoconf.sh (option handling): Give a more understandable
4906 message when an option is missing its argument.
4907 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
4908 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
4909 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
4911 2000-06-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4913 `./config.status -d' is buggy.
4915 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Remove the `shift' in
4916 --debug.
4917 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Some about shift.
4919 2000-06-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4921 * doc/autoconf.texi (Caching Results): Bigger warning about the
4922 extremely frequent action-in-commands bug.
4923 Move the documentation of AC_CACHE_SAVE and AC_CACHE_LOAD...
4924 (Cache Files): into here.
4926 2000-06-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4928 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOL): Even if VALUE-IF-NOT-FOUND is not
4929 specified, we should still check whether PROG-TO-CHECK-FOR
4930 actually works before returning it when the prefixed program is
4931 not found. Also, fixed a bug where it failed to pass the PATH
4932 argument in the second call to AC_CHECK_PROG.
4934 2000-06-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4936 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Rewrite.
4938 2000-06-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4940 * doc/autoconf.texi: Use `@option' for options, not `@samp' nor
4941 `@code'.
4942 * doc/install.texi: Likewise.
4944 2000-06-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4946 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Don't require AC_CYGWIN.
4947 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Removed useless comment.

4949 processed by Abysoft's Fortran compiler.
4951 2000-06-09 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@superjdj.mit.edu>
4953 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Fixed bug where
4954 compiler output to stdout was not caught and interpreted.
4956 2000-06-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4958 `autoconf --trace' dies on filenames with `:'.
4959 Reported by Mark Elbrecht.
4961 * autoconf.sh <trace> (trace2m4.sed): Use `..*' instead of
4962 `[^:][^:]*' to catch file names. The rest of regex is probably
4963 precise enough to avoid incorrect parsing.
4965 2000-06-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
4967 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Always initialize
4968 $3 to no.
4970 2000-06-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
4972 Import AC_SYS_LARGEFILE from largefile.m4 serial 12.
4974 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE, _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE,
4975 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SOURCE): New.
4976 * doc/autoconf.texi (System Services): Document AC_SYS_LARGEFILE.
4978 2000-06-08 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4980 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Don't override FLIBS if
4981 specified by the user.
4982 Fix a bug: use the cached value to set FLIBS.
4984 2000-06-07 Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
4986 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Check for f95 and fc too.
4988 2000-06-07 Philippe De Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>
4990 `foo=1 foo=2 cmd' has an undefined behavior.
4992 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE): Do not put two shell
4993 variable assignments in one shell command.
4994 * doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Document.
4996 2000-06-07 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
4998 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Fix problem on Cray due to
4999 confusion from the link command getting echoed in quotes. In the
5000 future, a more general fix for quoted arguments with spaces might
5001 be better.
5003 2000-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5005 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): More on `test' and
5006 `case'.

5011 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Include `X11/Intrinsic.h'
5012 when trying to use `XtMalloc' to actually have a chance of
5013 succeeding.
5015 2000-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5017 Hard (code) X.
5019 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Hard code `X11/Intrinsic.h'
5020 instead of using `ac_x_direct_test_include', likewise for `Xt' and
5021 `ac_x_direct_test_lib', `XtMalloc' and
5022 `ac_x_direct_test_function'.
5024 2000-06-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5026 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PATH_X): Use AC_DIVERT.
5027 Use `no', not `NO' for ac_x_includes and ac_x_libraries.
5028 Adjust dependencies.
5029 (_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT): Introduce ac_x_header_dirs to factor the list
5030 of places where headers and libs might be.
5031 (AC_PATH_XTRA): Don't quote the argument of `case'.

5035 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Put the expansion of
5036 AC_LIST_LINKS in an unquoted `here'-document.
5038 2000-06-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5040 * tests/aclocal.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): Skip `no_x'.
5041 From Mark Elbrecht.
5043 2000-06-05 Mo DeJong <mdejong@cygnus.com>
5045 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move the setting
5046 of ac_tool_prefix before the call to AC_DIVERT_POP.
5048 2000-06-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5050 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): AU define it.
5051 Suggested by Mo DeJong.
5053 2000-06-05 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
5055 * aclang.m4 (AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED): Use the new compiler-test
5056 technology so that we can do the test via compilations only. Also
5057 use (char) -1 instead of (char) 255 to check if char is unsigned.
5059 2000-05-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
5061 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R): Call strerror_r with 2nd arg
5062 of type char*, not int. Suggestion from Paul Eggert.
5064 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Give better description of

5075 looking for the executable.
5076 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
5077 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
5078 Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
5080 2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5082 Thanks to --program-transform-name, `autoconf' might be install as
5083 `yo-man-i-am-the-all-mighty-AVt0c0nF-eh-eh'. But when
5084 `yo-man-i-am-the-all-mighty-AVt0h3Ad3R-eh-eh' and the other tools
5085 want to trace, they might stupidly invoke the program named
5086 `autoconf' instead. Pfff, stupid scripts :)
5088 * Makefile.am (editsh): Transfer the names of the install
5089 `autoconf' and `autoheader'.
5090 * autoconf.sh: Add a missing period at the end of the comment
5091 # Parse command line
5092 Make sure to have a ChangeLog much longer than the patch.
5093 * autoheader.sh: Use the right `autoconf'.
5094 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
5095 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise, and for `autoheader' too.
5096 Simplify the handling of localdir and AC_MACRODIR.
5097 * ifnames.sh: Formatting changes.
5099 2000-05-25 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
5101 Don't use f2c as a possible Fortran compiler, since by itself it
5102 cannot produce object code.
5104 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Remove f2c from the search list.
5105 * doc/autoconf.texi: Excise mentions of f2c in AC_PROG_F77 docs.
5107 2000-05-26 Mark Elbrecht <snowball3@bigfoot.com>
5109 Currently, AC_PROG_LN_S incorrectly reports yes with DJGPP. This
5110 is because the DJGPP `ln' emulates soft links for executables by
5111 generating a stub that in turn calls the real program. This
5112 feature also works with nonexistent files like in the Unix
5113 spec. So `ln -s X conftestdata' will generate `conftestdata.exe'
5114 which will attempt to call 'X.exe'. But this feature only works
5115 for executables. Fix it.
5117 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_LN_S): Create a sample file and use it to
5118 test `ln -s'.
5120 2000-05-26 Ossama Othman <ossama@ece.uci.edu>
5122 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CXX): Look for aCC before CC.

5134 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOLS): Don't require

5137 2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5139 * acgeneral.m4: Simplify all the
5140 case "$switch" in
5141 into
5142 case $switch in
5143 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
5144 * aclang.m4: Likewise.
5146 2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5152 2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5154 In `info', it is easier to type `autoconf <TAB>' to reach the list
5155 of options, that `Invoking autoc<TAB>'.
5157 * doc/autoconf.texi: s/Invoking foo/foo Invocation/.
5159 2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5161 Merge `Upgrading' and `Obsolete Constructs' together.
5163 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Constructs): Move right after
5164 `Recreation a Configuration.
5165 (Invoking autoupdate): Be a subsection of
5166 `Obsolete Constructs'.
5167 (Upgrading): Demote from chapter to section.
5168 Be a section of `Obsolete Constructs'.
5169 Rename as `Autoconf 1'.
5171 2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5173 Find a means to extract integers from the compiler.
5174 Use this technology to compute `sizeof' even when cross-compiling.
5175 Ideas and initial suggestion by Kaveh Ghazi.
5176 Binary search by Bruno Haible.
5178 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY,
5179 AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C), AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C++),
5180 AC_LANG_INT_SAVE, AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C), AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C++)): New
5181 macros.

5194 2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5196 No library nor special privilege is needed to run `getloadavg'

5198 Reported by Alec Wolman.
5200 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Check for `getloadavg'
5201 without any additional library.
5202 Fixes Autoconf/109.
5204 2000-05-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5209 Fix a typo spotted by Pavel Roskin.
5211 2000-05-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5213 The test suite needs GNU m4.
5214 Reported by Bob Friesenhahn.

5219 2000-05-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5221 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Don't use negated character
5222 classes with `case'. Use `expr' instead.
5223 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
5224 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Explain expr, the
5225 `x' trick, and negated character classes.

5236 2000-05-24 Mo DeJong <mdejong@cygnus.com>
5238 Have --host=sun4 automatically look for CC=sun4-cc etc.
5240 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TOOLS): New.
5241 * aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_F77): Use new
5242 AC_CHECK_TOOLS macro instead of AC_CHECK_PROGS so that a cross
5243 compiler is found by default with --host.
5244 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Programs, Manual Configuration):
5245 Describe new AC_CHECK_TOOLS macro. Fix unclear working about
5246 AC_CHECK_PROGS.
5247 * tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Adjust.
5249 2000-05-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5251 The night of the living dead...
5253 * acspecific.m4 (AC_XENIX_DIR, AC_DYNIX_SEQ, AC_IRIX_SUN,

5258 2000-05-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5267 (AC_FUNC_STRFTIME, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_VPRINTF): Don't use
5268 AC_DEFINE, just use the AC_CHECK_*S macro.
5270 2000-05-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5272 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_WHICH_A): Replace it with...
5273 (AC_SHELL_PATH_WALK): this.
5274 (AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_PATH_PROG): Use it.
5276 2000-05-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5278 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Document `unset'.
5279 (Special Shell Variables): Adjust.
5280 (Shellology): New section. Introduce bash and zsh.
5281 (Special Shell Variables): Some data on NULLCMD.

5290 2000-05-24 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5292 The options --build etc. used to set `$build'. *If*
5293 AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM was run, then the value of `$build' given by
5294 the user was saved into `$build_alias', and `$build' was
5295 normalized using `config.sub'.
5297 Now, let `--build' set `$build_alias' so that scripts with or
5298 without `AC_CANONICAL_BUILD' have the same semantics. This allows
5299 to use `AC_CHECK_TOOL' without requiring `config.guess' and
5300 `config.sub' (which was bizarre anyway).
5302 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): --build, --host and --target
5303 set `build_alias' etc.
5304 After the option handling, set host to $host_alias etc. for
5305 bugward compatibility.
5306 (AC_CANONICALIZE): Mutate into...
5307 (_AC_CANONICAL_SPLIT): this, which does not canonicalize, it just
5308 computes `$foo_os' etc.
5309 (_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Remove, too confusing.
5310 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Adjust.
5311 Do not assign any value to `build_alias', just compute `build', and
5312 `build_{cpy, vendor, os}'.
5313 (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Likewise.
5314 (AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): Fire your rule when `$host_alias' is
5315 given, not when `$host != $build'.
5317 * acgeneral.m4 (sinclude): Fix typo.
5319 2000-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5321 * doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): More details on
5322 `test -n ='.
5324 2000-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5326 Simplify the interface: users shouldn't need to explicitly check
5327 for special environments.
5329 * acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT, AC_OBJEXT): AU defined to

5331 (_AC_EXEEXT, _AC_OBJEXT): this.

5333 (AC_PROG_CC_G, AC_PROG_CXX_G, AC_PROG_F77_G): Rename as...
5334 (_AC_PROG_CC_G, _AC_PROG_CXX_G, _AC_PROG_F77_G): this.
5335 Adjust dependencies.
5336 * tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Adjust.
5337 * doc/autoconf.texi (Compilers and Preprocessors): New section,
5338 move the documentation of AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CC_C_O,
5339 AC_PROG_CC_STDC, AC_PROG_CPP, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_CXXCPP,
5340 AC_PROG_F77, AC_PROG_F77_C_O, AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL here.
5341 Factor the comment documentation of AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX,
5342 AC_PROG_F77.
5344 2000-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5346 Modernize AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
5347 Now work with other languages than C and C++.
5349 * acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT, AC_OBJEXT): Use
5350 AC_COMPILE_IFELSE/AC_LINK_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM instead of
5351 ad hoc code.
5352 Use `$ac_ext' instead of listing `.c', `.C' etc.
5353 Use AC_CACHE_CHECK.
5354 * doc/autoconf.texi (System Services): Adjust.
5356 2000-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

5363 (_AC_CYGWIN, _AC_EMXOS2, _AC_MINGW32): these, which are
5364 automatically called by...
5365 (AC_EXEEXT): this.
5366 * doc/autoconf.texi (System Services, Obsolete Macros): Adjust.
5368 2000-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5370 AC_PROG_GNU_M4 should actually be private to the package
5371 Autoconf.
5373 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): Move to...
5374 * m4/m4.m4: here.
5375 * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Adjust.
5376 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Adjust.
5378 2000-05-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5380 * doc/autoconf.texi (Exiting from Shell Scripts): Move contents
5381 into...
5382 (Limitations of Builtins): this new node.
5383 Document limitations of `exit', `export' and `case'.
5384 Welcome the documentation of `test' from...
5385 (Limitations of Usual Tools): here.
5387 2000-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5389 Load the additions *before* running AC_INIT.
5390 This is important if you want to redefine AC_INIT or some of its
5391 sub macros (eeerk!), or if you want to use user defined macros
5392 before AC_INIT.
5393 Suggested by Didier Verna.
5395 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT): Don't include `acsite.m4' and
5396 `aclocal.m4'.
5397 * autoconf.sh (run_m4, run_m4f): Do it.
5399 2000-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5401 Reading the ChangeLog revealed that the recent update of
5402 AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG introduced a bug which already happened (see
5403 Mon Nov 11 18:02:58 1996 David J MacKenzie).
5405 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Use a less tempting name:
5406 s/ac_save_LIBS/ac_check_lib_save_LIBS/.
5408 2000-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5410 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_ALLOCA): New macro, extracted from...
5411 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): here. Adjust.
5413 2000-05-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5415 Add `configure --config-cache', `-C' as a shortcut for
5416 `--cache-file=config.cache'.
5418 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Let `configure' support
5419 `--config-cache' and `-C'.
5420 Report them in `--help'.
5421 Fix the display of missing argument.
5422 (_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Adjust.
5423 * doc/install.texi (Invoking configure): Rename the node as

5539 AC_PROG_CC to compute the default FFLAGS.
5541 2000-05-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5543 Either we cross-compile the whole package, or we don't.
5544 Using --host enables cross-compilation.
5546 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): `--host' enables cross
5547 compilation.
5548 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): The help string should explicitly mention
5549 cross compilation.
5550 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(Fortran 77)): Don't
5551 set `cross_compiling'.
5552 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Run your `WORK' partner
5553 only if not cross-compiling.
5554 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS, AC_PROG_F77_WORKS):
5555 If does not work, don't assume an implicit cross-compilation:
5556 fail.
5557 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
5559 2000-05-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5561 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_UNSETENV, AC_SHELL_UNSET): Add the

5580 Document more limitations.
5582 2000-05-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5584 * acspecific.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_GETLOADAVG): New macro, extracted from
5585 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): here.
5586 Use it.
5588 2000-05-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5590 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SPECIALIZE): Avoid a useless `indir'.
5591 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_CHECK_MEMBERS): Fix to work properly on
5592 `struct f.g.h'.
5593 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS and
5594 AC_CHECK_MEMBERS instead of performing their task by hand.
5596 2000-05-19 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5598 Synchronize AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG with the version of the shellutils
5599 1.16f (serial 4).
5601 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Check for
5602 `pstat_getdynamic'.
5603 Define `C_GETLOADAVG' if compiling `getloadavg.c'.
5604 Check for NLS.
5605 Compute `GETLOADAVG_LIBS'.

5615 Document `status', `CDPATH', `LANG', `LC_ALL', `LC_MESSAGES' and
5616 `LC_CTYPE'.
5618 2000-05-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5620 * acgeneral.m4 (sinclude): Define, some packages (binutils) need
5621 it.
5623 2000-05-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5625 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking config.status): Move the
5626 documentation of the envvar CONFIG_(FILES, HEADERS, COMMANDS,

5632 * doc/autoconf.texi (Exiting from Shell Scripts): New node.
5633 (Autoconf Language): Follow the advice in the new node.
5635 2000-05-12 Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>
5637 * doc/autoconf.texi: Fix typos.
5639 2000-05-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5641 AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS needs two lists: one, ac_subdirs_all, which
5642 contains all the possible subdirs for `--help=recursive', and
5643 another, `subdirs' which can be built dynamically for launching
5644 sub configurations.
5646 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Define `subdirs' dynamically.
5647 Define `ac_subdirs_all' statically.
5648 Warn if the argument is not a literal.
5649 (AC_LIST_SUBDIRS): Rename as...
5650 (_AC_LIST_SUBDIRS): this.
5651 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Loop over `ac_subdirs_all', not `subdirs'.

5653 * doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Adjust.
5655 * acgeneral.m4: Replace all the `test ! -d foo && bar' with
5656 `test -d foo || bar'.

5674 * autoupdate.sh: Complete rewrite. See that file for a detailed
5675 explanation. Basically, simulate the name spaces thanks to
5676 `autoconf --trace' and auxiliary files.
5677 No longer use `autoupdate.m4', remove the dependencies.
5678 Synchronize the options and `--help'.
5679 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoupdate): Humanoupdate.
5680 * autoupdate.m4: Delete.
5681 * tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Add `AC_OUTPUT'.
5682 Since `AC_OUTPUT' is now AU_DEFUN'd, it is extracted for testing,
5683 while it was not before.
5684 * tests/tools.m4 (autoupdate): Re-enable. Adjust the expected
5685 output with the right quotation (yeah!).
5686 Pass `-m $top_srcdir': autoupdate wants the `.m4' files, not the
5687 frozen files.
5688 * Makefile.am (nodistpkgdataDATA): Move `acversion.m4' to
5689 (distpkgdataDATA): here, so that all the `.m4' files are in the
5690 source hierarchy, not split across src and build.
5691 * acversion.m4.in: Update to today's standards.

5741 AC_CYGWIN, AC_MINGW32, AC_EMXOS2): Likewise.

5747 Replace AC_LANG_SAVE/AC_LANG_RESTORE with AC_LANG_PUSH/AC_LANG_POP.

5757 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Move the requirements to its top.
5758 * doc/autoconf.texi (Language Choice): Document them.
5759 (Old Macros): Welcome AC_LANG_SAVE and AC_LANG_RESTORE.
5761 2000-05-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5763 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Less adventurous use of

5765 Fixes Autoconf/108.
5767 2000-05-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5769 * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Some more sorting.

5817 quadruples.
5819 2000-05-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5821 * libm4.m4 (m4_foreach): Rewritten so that it does not require
5822 lists in between parens.
5823 (m4_foreach_quoted): new copy of the previous `m4_foreach' which
5824 is still used by `m4_wrap'.
5825 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDE, AC_INCLUDES): Removed.
5826 (AC_FOREACH): Don't use parens with `m4_foreach'.
5827 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_CHECK_DECLS, AC_CHECK_TYPES): Adjust the
5828 description.
5829 * acspecific.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE, AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE,

5847 AU_DEFUN'd.
5849 2000-05-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5851 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LIBOBJ_DECL, AC_LIBOBJ): New macros.
5852 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Use AC_LIBOBJ.
5853 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP,
5854 AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS): Use AC_LIBOBJ.
5855 * doc/autoconf.texi : Adjust so that the user is not encouraged to
5856 use LIBOBJS directly.
5857 (Generic Functions): Document AC_LIBOBJ_DECL and AC_LIBOBJ.
5859 2000-05-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
5861 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Remove double quotes around `no'.
5863 2000-05-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5865 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Don't automatically spit
5866 `Generated by...' in Makefiles.
5867 Fixes Autoconf/102.
5869 2000-05-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5871 Let `config.status' use a private temp dir.
5872 Suggested by Jim Meyering.
5874 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_TMPDIR): New macro.
5875 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use it.
5876 Use more quoted here docs to improve readability.
5877 Compute `$me' and use it in the error messages.
5878 Define `$configure' and `$configure_args' to avoid continuously
5879 mixing the uses of `configure' and `config.status' evaluation in a
5880 single line.
5881 Define `$SHELL' and use it.
5882 Simplify all the unjustified `[\$]foo' into `\$foo', the quotes
5883 are needed only for `\$[1]', `\$[@]' etc.
5884 Replace all the uses of `ac_cs_root' with files in the tmp dir of
5885 `config.status'.
5886 Remove a few `rm' covered by the removal of the `$tmp' dir.
5887 Let `config.status' support `--debug'.
5888 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Avoid the leading space in `ac_configure_args'.
5889 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking config.status): Adjust.
5891 2000-05-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
5893 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Set up traps to remove
5894 temporaries upon exit, too, not just upon receipt of signal.
5896 2000-05-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5898 AC_CHECK_PROG macro fails if REJECT value is set under Digital
5899 Unix 4.0x and 5.0 because `"$@"' expands into an empty parameter
5900 (instead of nothing) when there are no positional parameters.
5901 From Nicolas Joly.
5903 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_CHECK_PROGS): Prefer
5904 `$$1' to `[$]$1', `$foo' to `[$]foo', `$[1]' to `[$]1', and
5905 `${1+"$[@]"}' to `"[$]@"'.
5907 2000-05-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5909 AC_PREREQ understands `2.14a' as `2.141'.
5910 Reported by Didier Verna.
5912 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREREQ): Don't quote AC_ACVERSION.
5914 2000-05-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5916 * acgeneral.m4 (AH_TOP, AH_BOTTOM): New macros.
5917 (_AH_COUNTER): New variable.
5918 * tests/tools.m4 (autoheader): Check their proper functioning.
5920 2000-05-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5922 * doc/autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Rename as...
5923 (Obsoleting Macros): this.
5924 (Old Macros): Rename as...
5925 (Obsolete Macros): this.
5926 Be a section of...
5927 (Obsolete Constructs): New chapter.
5928 (Invoking autoheader): Move the `acconfig.h' documentation to...
5929 (acconfig.h): here, new section of `Obsolete Constructs'.
5930 (Autoheader Macros): Document AH_VERBATIM, AH_TEMPLATE, AH_TOP and
5931 AH_BOTTOM.
5933 2000-05-03 Nicolas Joly <njoly@pasteur.fr>
5935 * autoheader.sh (config_h): Sort the templates.
5936 Under NetBSD 1.4.1 /bin/sh `set' command does not return a sorted
5937 variables list.
5939 2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5941 * tests/tools.m4 (autoheader): Don't pass `-l at_srcdir' to
5942 `autoheader', since `acconfig.h' is created in the build dir.
5943 There's one empty line less in `config.h.in' than before when
5944 using `acconfig.h'.
5946 2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5948 Simplify the handling of `acconfig.h'.
5950 * autoheader.sh: No longer try to select the needed paragraphs of
5951 `acconfig.h', just dump everything into `config.h.in'.
5952 Implement support for `--warnings'.
5953 Warn the users that these auxiliary files are obsolete when `-W
5954 obsolete'.
5955 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoheader): Adjust.
5957 2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5959 Support of acconfig.h was broken. Fix and test.
5960 Reported by Jim Meyering.
5962 * autoheader.sh: Trace AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to build
5963 the list of $syms which are defined.
5964 * tests/tools.m4 (autoheader): New test.
5966 2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5968 Rename the language FORTRAN77 as Fortran 77.
5970 * aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(FORTRAN77), AC_LANG_SOURCE(FORTRAN77),
5971 AC_LANG_PROGRAM(FORTRAN77), AC_LANG_CALL(FORTRAN77)): Rename as...
5972 (AC_LANG(Fortran 77), AC_LANG_SOURCE(Fortran 77),
5973 AC_LANG_PROGRAM(Fortran 77), AC_LANG_CALL(Fortran 77)): This.
5974 (AC_LANG_FORTRAN77): Adjust.
5976 2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
5978 Provide a macro to canonicalize a configuration name.
5979 Suggested by Ralf Corsepius.
5981 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICALIZE): New macro.
5982 (_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Use it.
5985 Change the defaults for build, host, and target systems:
5986 build defaults to `config.guess`.
5987 host defaults to $build.
5988 target defaults to $host.
5989 Suggested by Mo DeJong, Pavel Roskin, Tom Tromey, Ian Lance
5990 Taylor, and many others.
5992 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Set `$build', `$host' and
5993 `$target' to nothing instead of NONE.
5994 (AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): AU_DEFUN'd as `AC_CANONICAL_TARGET'.
5995 (_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Use an explicit m4_case to set the defaults
5996 depending upon the THING.
5997 Implement the default values.
5998 (AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Handle the `AC_ARG_PROGRAM' part
5999 `AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM' used to provide.
6000 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
6003 When receiving an explicit argument, consider this is a default
6004 for --build, --host and --target (unless set).
6005 Some scripts might still depend on this historical syntax.
6006 Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
6008 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Do that.
6009 (_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Drop the support of `$nonopt'.
6012 Documenting --build, --host and --target when configure does not
6013 handle them causes confusion.
6014 Suggested by Pavel Roskin.
6015 Nevertheless configure must not die on such an `unsupported'
6016 option: it does happen that people build an entire tree of
6017 packages, some of them expecting `--host' etc. some others not.
6018 Stressed by Tom Tromey and Ian Lance Taylor.
6020 * acgeneral.m4 (HELP_CANON): New diversion.
6021 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Don't document these options.
6022 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET):
6023 Document your associated option.
6025 2000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6027 Don't double quote in AC_MSG_*.
6029 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Don't double quote. Escape the
6030 double quotes too.
6031 (_AC_ECHO_UNQUOTED): Don't double quote :).
6032 (_AC_ECHO, _AC_ECHO_N): Quote the call to _AC_SH_QUOTE.
6034 The autoheader chain needs to be adjusted.
6036 * acgeneral.m4 (AH_VERBATIM): Just pass two arguments to AH_OUTPUT
6037 instead of trying to build what `autoheader' needs: let it handle
6038 the format by itself.
6039 * autoheader.m4: Adjust.
6040 s,tmp/config.h,tmp/config.hin.
6042 The adjustment revealed that `autoconf --trace' is not robust to
6043 single quotes in its argument.
6045 * autoconf.sh: Fix this issue.
6046 Rename the escape `$*' as `$%'. Implement `$@'.
6047 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
6049 2000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6051 mawk suffers a severe performance loss when using `sub' with a
6052 changing value. On the `configure' script of the fileutils:
6053 mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 14s.
6054 mawk '{ if ($0 ~ /foo/) sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 0.03s.
6055 mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo) }' -> 0.03s.
6057 * autoconf.sh (task script, AWK script): Run `sub (__oline__,
6058 oline)' only in the lines that match `__oline__'.
6059 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
6061 2000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6063 * autoconf.sh (options handling::-W*): Strip two leading chars, not
6064 just one.
6066 2000-04-20 Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
6068 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): Use AC_SUBST.
6070 2000-04-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6072 Provide a fine grained control over autoconf's warnings.
6074 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_WARNING_IFELSE, _AC_DIAGNOSE, AC_DIAGNOSE):
6075 New macros.

6085 section.
6086 Document --help=short and recursive.
6087 Split the `Directory' section into `Installation directories' for
6088 --prefix and --exec-prefix, and all the others into `Fine tuning
6089 of the installation directories'.
6090 In the latter, don't repeat `in DIR', the user understands, and it
6091 comes out better.
6092 Default for --exec-prefix is PREFIX.
6093 Reported by Kathryn Hargreaves.
6094 Move --host before --build.
6095 Fix a test on `$ac_init_help' which was not updated.
6097 2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6099 Have `make check' succeed with CC=g++.

6105 forbids members named like their hosting struct, so don't do it.
6107 2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6109 * autoscan.pl: Reindent using 2 spaces, not 4.
6110 Use `#' to denote Autoconf comments, not `dnl'.
6111 Put a few `\' here and there to avoid misfontification and
6112 misindentation.
6113 Use your base name when reporting errors.
6114 (parse_args::usage): Use $0, use the same order as the other
6115 executables.

6118 2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6120 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PROVIDE_IF): Rename as...
6121 (AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE): this. Change all callers.
6122 Spread the use of AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE, no macro should know how
6123 AC_PROVIDE names its internal variables.
6125 2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6127 * acgeneral.m4: Simplify all the `foo="$bar"' into `foo=$bar'.

6141 AC_XENIX_DIR): Move their descriptions into here.
6142 Kill a few TeX warnings.
6144 2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6146 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Remove.

6177 /dev/null" messages.
6178 * autoconf.texi: Note that caching is disabled, how to enable it,
6179 and that `./config.cache' is the traditional name of the cache file.
6180 * install.texi: Likewise.
6182 2000-04-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6184 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): If any option waiting for a
6185 directory receives a relative path, die (bindir, sbindir,
6186 libexecdir, datadir, sysconfdir, sharedstatedir, localstatedir,
6187 libdir, includedir, oldincludedir, infodir, mandir, exec_prefix,

6201 2000-03-30 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
6203 Fix F77 name-mangling macros to work with cached values (so
6204 they don't break the second time you run configure).
6206 * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Extract f77_case,
6207 f77_underscore from cache variable.
6208 (AC_F77_WRAPPERS): Get rid of ac_cv_f77_wrappers, it's useless.

6243 the test above.
6245 2000-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

6248 if `-i' is used or not.
6250 * autoconf.sh (trace::silent.m4): Removed.
6251 (trace::run_m4_trace): Pass -Derrprint.
6253 2000-03-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6255 Use `mktemp -d' when possible to create securely a tmp work dir.
6257 * autoconf.sh: Use it when possible to create the dir $tmp.
6258 Stop using variables for tmp files, use their names in $tmp.
6259 [install]: Use the new features of autoconf --trace.
6261 2000-03-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6263 Probably all the versions of bash up to 2.04 fail on
6264 fnmatch ("/tmp", "[/\\\\]")
6265 The backslash must not be last.
6267 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP, AC_PATH_PROG, _AC_OUTPUT_FILES,
6268 _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Always make `\\' be the
6269 first character in all the `[]' of `case' patterns.
6271 2000-03-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6273 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): Rename back as
6274 AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX since some packages rely on it.
6276 2000-03-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6278 Move all the language dependent macros into aclang.m4.
6280 * aclang.m4: New file.

6282 * autoheader.m4: Likewise.
6283 * autoupdate.m4: Likewise.
6284 * Makefile.am: Adjust.
6285 * test/Makefile.am: Likewise.
6286 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_CASE,AC_LANG_SAVE, _AC_LANG_DISPATCH,
6287 AC_LANG, _AC_LANG_CURRENT, AC_LANG_SOURCE, AC_LANG_PROGRAM,
6288 AC_LANG_CALL, AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG_SOURCE(C), AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C),

6303 AC_F77_WRAPPERS): Move to...
6304 * aclang.m4: here.
6306 2000-03-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6308 * autoconf.sh (trace): Let translate_awk do the whole translation
6309 from `$trace' to the m4 program.
6311 2000-03-27 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6313 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PACKAGE): Also define AC_PACKAGE_STRING.
6314 Use it here and there.
6316 2000-03-27 Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
6318 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Fix the DOS
6319 absolute path pattern: s/?:[[/\\]]/?:[[/\\]]*/.
6321 2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6323 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_CANONICAL_TARGET, _AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Rename
6324 as (AC_CANONICAL_TARGET, AC_CANONICAL_BUILD), although internal,
6325 too much foreign code depends upon them.
6327 2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6329 * autoconf.sh (translate_awk): `> "/dev/stderr"' is not portable
6330 to systems without a real /dev/stderr in the file system or if not
6331 using one of the three free awks. Use
6332 print message | "cat >&2"
6333 ...
6334 END { close("cat >&2") }
6335 From Aharon Robbins.
6337 2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6339 * autoheader.sh (checking completeness): Be ready to recognize
6340 patterns with a value, and spaces between `#' and the directive, e.g.
6341 # define FOO FIXME:
6342 Reported by John Fortin.
6344 2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6346 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_RUN_IFELSE): New macro.
6347 (AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE): Remove.
6348 (AC_TRY_RUN): Use AC_RUN_IFELSE, not AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE.
6350 2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6352 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Ah ah! I recognized you, even
6353 masked: you are AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC.

6364 AC_LANG_CALL(FORTRAN77)): New macros.
6365 (AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC): Use it.
6366 (AC_TRY_CPP): Argument was output twice.
6367 (AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE): Output $3 only if needed.
6369 2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6371 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILER): Use AC_LINK_IFELSE.
6372 (AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC, AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_FUNC): Don't check that
6373 the current language is C++ to output `extern "C"': the CPP
6374 condition is enough.
6376 2000-03-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6378 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE): New macros.
6379 (AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_COMPILE): Use them.
6380 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_COMPILE_CHECK, AC_CHECK_DECL,
6381 _AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW): Adjust.
6382 * acspecific.m4 (AC_DECL_YYTEXT, AC_PATH_XTRA): Adjust.
6384 2000-03-23 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
6386 * acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Need to use

6393 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK): Use them.
6395 2000-03-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6397 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Support --help={long, short,
6398 recursive}.
6399 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Propagate --help=recursive to CONFIG_SUBDIRS.
6400 Code stolen from...
6401 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): s/ac_config_dir/ac_subdir/g.
6403 2000-03-23 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
6405 * libm4.m4 (m4_do): New macro.
6407 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6409 Provide a language independent means to generate language specific
6410 programs.
6412 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_LANG_DISPATCH): New macro.
6413 (AC_LANG): Use it.
6414 (AC_LANG_SOURCE, AC_LANG_SOURCE(C), AC_LANG_SOURCE(C++),
6415 AC_LANG_SOURCE(FORTRAN77)): New macros.
6416 (AC_TRY_COMPILER, AC_EGREP_CPP, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE): Use
6417 AC_LANG_SOURCE.
6419 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6421 Fix a bug: some macros (e.g., AC_REVISION, AC_COPYRIGHT etc.) can
6422 be used before AC_INIT, but they do require it. But then, the
6423 argument of the explicit AC_INIT call is lost.
6425 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): New macro.
6426 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Adjust.
6427 (_AC_INIT): Pass your argument to AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR.
6429 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6431 * tests/semantics.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG, AC_PATH_PROGS): New tests.
6433 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6435 Start the language support overhaul: Introduce AC_LANG().
6437 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG): Renamed as _AC_LANG_CURRENT.
6438 (AC_LANG, AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(FORTRAN77)): New
6439 macros.
6440 (AC_LANG_C, AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS, AC_LANG_FORTRAN): AU_DEFUN'ed.
6441 Adjust all callers.
6442 * acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Remove the exceeding
6443 AC_LANG_RESTORE.
6444 * tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Add AC_LANG.
6446 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6448 Speed ups.
6450 * libm4.m4 (m4_append, m4_list_append): Use m4_define, not define.
6451 On my machine the former implementation takes 4mn 40s to run the
6452 test suite. Using m4_define leads to 4mn 15s.
6453 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SUBST): Use AC_EXPAND_ONCE (which uses
6454 m4_define, not define). 4mn.
6455 (_AC_DIVERT): Don't use m4_case. Starting from those 4mn, if you
6456 just move NORMAL* first in m4_case, the test suite is run in 3mn.
6457 If instead of using m4, you use an `associative array' plus a
6458 wrapper (current implementation), it falls to 2mn.
6460 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6462 * tests/tools.m4 (autoconf --trace): New test.
6464 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6466 * autoconf.sh (task trace): Pipe the output of the first m4 into
6467 the second one, instead of saving to a tmp file, so that we can
6468 trace endless configure.in expansion.
6470 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6472 Uniform idioms.
6474 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS,
6475 _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, _AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Prefer
6476 for i in : $is; do test $i = : && continue
6477 over
6478 for i in .. $is; do if test $i != ..; then
6480 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6482 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move more
6483 initializations to...
6484 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): here.
6486 2000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6488 Give a means to compute `srcdir' earlier in configure.
6490 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): New macro, pulled out from...
6491 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): No longer compute `srcdir'.
6492 (_AC_INIT): Use _AC_INIT_SRCDIR.
6493 (AC_INIT): Don't forget to pass the argument to _AC_INIT.
6495 2000-03-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
6497 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Don't test for existence
6498 of $ac_xdir. Not only is `test -e' not portable, but the test isn't
6499 necessary at all; the following mkdir ends up accomplishing the
6500 same goal. Suggestion from Alexandre Oliva.
6502 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT) [setting IFS]: Be careful
6503 to use space, tab and new line, in precisely that order.
6505 2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6507 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS.
6508 No argument, use AC_LIST_SUBDIRS.
6509 Adjust callers.
6511 2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6513 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH): Double quote the head
6514 of the help snippet.
6516 2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6518 Give an identity to `configure' scripts.
6520 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PACKAGE): New macro.
6521 (_AC_COPYRIGHT_SEPARATOR): Remove.
6522 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Adjust.
6523 (_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): Name the package you configure
6524 when you want.
6525 (_AC_INIT): Adjust.
6526 * configure.in (AC_PACKAGE): Add.
6528 2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6530 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
6532 2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6534 Don't rely on RS = "\0" to swallow the whole input as a single
6535 record, this is not portable: mawk and nawk understand it as RS =
6536 "". gawk understands it as expected.
6538 * autoconf.sh (translate_awk::BEGIN): No longer change RS.
6539 (translate_awk::body): Move to the END.
6540 Instead, accumulate the input in `request'.
6542 2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6544 * doc/autoconf.texi (Testing Values and Files): Be a subsection of
6545 `Portable Shell Programming'.
6546 (Shell Substitutions, Limitations of Usual Tools): New subsections.
6548 2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6550 Use a single tool to reformat the raw `configure' script output by
6551 m4.
6552 Suggested by Paul Eggert.
6554 * autoconf.sh: Stop playing with 2 seds and an AWK to finalize
6555 `configure', a single AWK program is enough.
6557 2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6559 In Autoconf 2.13, although AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS did double quote its
6560 arguments, AC_OUTPUT arguments 2 and 3 were not! Currently,
6561 AC_OUTPUT over quotes too: stop that.
6562 Reported by Martin Buchholz.
6564 * doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Don't expand on the ternary
6565 AC_OUTPUT.
6566 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't over quote $2 and $3.
6568 2000-03-17 Joseph S. Myers <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>
6570 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Security fixes: create
6571 the temp files in a private temporary directory, not directly in
6572 TMPDIR.
6574 2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6576 Install the IFS we need once for all.
6578 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT): New macro.
6579 Handle the NLS envvars, and IFS.
6580 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use it, no longer set the NLS envvars.
6581 (_AC_WHICH_A, AC_PATH_PROG): Rely on the default IFS.
6582 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES):
6583 Likewise.
6585 2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6587 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP, AC_EGREP_CPP, AC_TRY_COMPILE,
6588 AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE): Simplify the removal of the
6589 contest files: don't remove them before running the actions, just
6590 remove them at the end of the macro.
6592 2000-03-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6594 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use
6595 : ${foo='some words'}
6596 not
6597 : ${foo=some words}
6598 since this is not portable: Digital Unix v5.0: `bad substitution'.
6599 From Nicolas Joly.
6601 2000-03-16 Lars J. Aas <larsa@sim.no>
6603 * libm4.m4 (m4_assert, m4_shiftn): New macros.
6604 (m4_case,m4_match): Rewrite to use m4_shiftn (for readability reasons).
6605 (m4_for): Add the STEP argument and some argument-verifying asserts.
6606 (m4_split): Correct spaces to tabulator in regexp.
6608 2000-03-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6610 Revamp AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES.
6612 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use a single cache
6613 variable instead of three.
6614 Use AC_CACHE_CHECK.
6615 Shorten the name of the var loops, they are no longer cached.
6616 Include sys/types.h unconditionally.
6617 `select' returns an int, fixes Autoconf/46.
6618 Don't display parens in the user messages.
6620 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6622 * autoheader.sh: Use run_m4f, not run_m4.
6624 2000-03-14 John David Anglin <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>
6626 * tests/actest.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): Don't consider RANDOM and LINENO
6627 which some shells update. At least ksh on HP-UX 10.20 and sh on
6628 IRIX 6.5 do change their `RANDOM' even if `read' via `set'.
6630 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6632 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH): No use for @%:@ here,
6633 no need to over quote $1 in the comments.
6635 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6637 * acgeneral.m4: Replace some ifelse with ifval or m4_default, or
6638 even nothing when not needed.
6639 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
6641 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6643 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Insert the Autoconf version in
6644 config.log, and the command line which ran configure.
6645 Kill a couple of useless quote around dollars.
6647 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6649 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Kill a changequote in the
6650 building of `ac_configure_args'.
6652 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6654 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): Rename _AC_DIVERT.
6655 (AC_DIVERT): New macro.
6656 Spread its use where better than a pair of AC_DIVERT_PUSH/POP.
6658 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6660 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_BINSH): Remove, useless now that...
6661 (AC_REVISION): Require AC_INIT, not _AC_INIT_BINSH.
6662 (AC_INIT): Do what _AC_INIT_BINSH used to.
6663 Don't require _AC_INIT_VERSION, just call it.
6664 Rename as _AC_INIT.
6665 (AC_INIT): New macro, single expansion wrapper around _AC_INIT.
6666 (_AC_COPYRIGHT_SEPARATOR): New.
6667 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Use it.
6668 Require AC_INIT, not _AC_INIT_VERSION.
6669 * doc/autoconf.texi (Versions): Promote as first section of
6670 `Setup'.
6671 Rename as `Notices'.
6672 Document AC_COPYRIGHT.
6673 Don't give false reasons for placing AC_REVISION before AC_INIT,
6674 the place no longer matters.
6676 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6678 * autoconf.sh (trace_m4::smash): Double quote, we don't want the
6679 result to be evaluated.
6681 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6683 * acgeneral.m4: s/@%:@line __oline__/#line __oline__/g. __oline__
6684 is not a macro, so there is just no use in avoiding `#'.
6686 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6688 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When there were no
6689 CONFIG_FILES, we had to expand _AC_OUTPUT_FILES into the KILL
6690 diversion, because it is AC_OUTPUT_FILES which undiverted the
6691 AC_SUBST sed script at its proper place, otherwise it would have
6692 been undiverted at the end of `configure', leading to an sh syntax
6693 error.
6694 Now that we no longer use a diversion, we don't need to call
6695 AC_OUTPUT_FILES if useless.
6696 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_FILES.
6697 (AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS.
6699 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6701 AC_ARG_PROGRAM must not be expanded twice, which is likely since
6702 Automake calls it, and usually users do too. If it happens,
6703 `--program-prefix=g' actually prepend two (or more) `g'.
6705 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN_ONCE): New macro.
6706 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM): AC_DEFUNed_ONCE. Or is it AC_DEFUN_ONCE'd? :).
6707 No longer AC_EXPAND_ONCE the help string, the macro itself is
6708 expanded at most once.
6709 Rename the here-doc tag EOF_SED as EOF.
6711 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6713 Get rid of the ICMDS diversion.
6715 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): Remove ICMDS.
6716 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_INIT): New growing string.
6717 (_AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_INIT, _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Adjust.
6719 2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6721 Introduce AC_SUBST(VAR, VAL).
6723 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Stop global double quoting,
6724 failed experiment.
6725 Merge all the var=val AC_SUBST(var) into AC_SUBST(var, val).
6726 (AC_SUBST): Implement support for 2nd arg.
6727 * doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Adjust.
6729 2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6731 Simplify the diversions naming system.
6732 Suggested by Alexandre Oliva and Lars J. Aas
6734 * libm4.m4 (ifndef): New macro.
6735 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): New macro, maps a diversion name to
6736 its value. The diversions now have a short name, e.g., `NOTICE',
6737 instead of the former macros which had long names, e.g.,
6738 `AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE'.
6739 (AC_DIVERT_PUSH): Adjust.
6740 (AC_DIVERT_POP): Use ifndef.
6741 (AC_DIVERSION_CURRENT): Rename as `AC_DIVERT_DIVERSION' to stay
6742 within the `AC_DIVERT' name domain.
6743 Adjust all callers.
6744 * acspecific.m4: Adjust all callers.
6746 2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6748 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoconf): Update documentation of
6749 `autoconf --trace'.
6751 2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6753 * autoconf.sh (tmpbase): New var. Adjust trap code and other tmp
6754 file names.
6755 (translate_awk::BEGIN): Set RS to "\0" so that the whole file be a
6756 single record.
6757 (translate_awk::trans): Convert from array to function.
6758 (translate_awk::error): New function.
6759 (translate_awk::main action): Implement support for ${sep}@ and
6760 ${sep}*. Use trans() and error().
6761 (translate_awk): Don't put space before user functions call, it is
6762 not portable.
6763 Remove trailing `;', this is not C :).
6764 (task trace): Quote `$traces' when you eval it, to protect the
6765 white spaces.
6766 Propagate `translate_awk' failures to `autoconf.sh'.
6767 Translate the quadrigraphs.
6769 2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6771 Trap on 0 is not executed when `exit' is called without argument.
6773 * autoheader.sh (trap 1 2 13 15): s/exit/exit $?/.
6774 * autoconf.sh: Likewise.
6775 Remove translate_awk too.
6776 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
6777 Handle `--debug'.
6779 2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6781 More uniform style in scripts.
6783 * autoheader.sh: s/-eq/=/.
6784 Uniform ordering of variable initializations, option handling.
6785 Don't use quotes where useless (foo=$1, not foo="$1").
6786 Propagate `run_m4' and `run_m4f'.
6787 Use `$0' in --help.
6788 * autoconf.sh: Likewise.
6789 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
6790 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
6791 * ifnames.sh: Likewise.
6792 * autoupdate.m4: Small bug: at the end `dnl' is disabled, so use
6793 `m4_dnl'.
6795 2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6797 `autoconf --trace': faster.
6799 * autoconf.sh (initialization): New var, new option.
6800 (option loop): When you need an arg, make sure there is one.
6801 (run_m4f): New var, which content is that of the former...
6802 (run_m4): Don't use m4 frozen state files.
6803 Change all callers.
6804 Don't pass AC_LOCALDIR, not documented, and unused.
6805 (task trace): Honor `--verbose' and `--initialization'.
6806 (globally): Send `--verbose' messages in stderr.
6807 Fix random typos.
6809 2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6811 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_BINSH): Removed.
6813 2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6815 Start revamping `autoconf --trace'.
6817 * autoconf.sh (debug): New var, new option.
6818 Adjust the trap code.
6819 (task trace): Instead of decoding `m4 --trace' with sed, decode it
6820 with m4 itself.
6821 ($silent_m4): New file, which disables m4's `errprint'.
6822 ($trace_m4): New file. Logistic for the m4 which is in charge of
6823 decoding the traces of the first.
6824 ($translate_awk): Transform a user trace request into $trace_m4
6825 code.
6827 2000-03-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6829 Multiple `-e' to egrep are not portable. On IRIX 6.5 and Solaris
6830 2.5.1 only the last one is honored:
6831 > printf "foo\nbar\n" | egrep -e 'foo' -e 'bar'
6832 bar
6833 > printf "foo\nbar\n" | egrep -e 'bar' -e 'foo'
6834 foo
6835 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
6836 An alternative would have been to use `sed', unfortunately
6837 alternation is not portable.
6839 * tests/actest.m4 (join): New macro.
6840 (AC_ENV_SAVE): Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.
6841 * tests/Makefile.am (EGREP_EXCLUDE): Rename as FILTER_MACROS.
6842 Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.
6844 2000-03-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
6846 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): Correct typos in definition:
6847 add `_' prefix to make the function name match comments and existing
6848 uses. Remove leading prefix from _AC_CANONICAL_HOST.
6850 2000-03-09 Ossama Othman <ossama@debian.org>
6852 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Added some missing
6853 headers if they exist (needed for some missing prototypes) and
6854 corrects the signal handler prototype/definition. The signal
6855 handler prototype is now prepended with an `extern "C"' for C++
6856 compilers since some platforms explicitly require an `extern "C"'
6857 signal handler.
6859 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6861 * autoheader.m4 (autoheader::AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Rename as
6862 (autoheader::_AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): to cope with the new name
6863 of the autoconf:: macro.
6864 Fixes autoconf/119, reported by Raja R Harinath.
6866 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6868 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG, AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS):
6869 Fix quotation problems in DOS path handling.
6871 2000-03-08 Franz Sirl <Franz.Sirl-kernel@lauterbach.com>
6873 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): Make them C++
6874 safe: include the right headers, cast the allocations etc.
6876 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6878 The argument of AC_COPYRIGHT should be plain text, not an sh
6879 comment.
6881 * libm4.m4 (m4_quote): s/$@/$*/.
6882 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Prepend `# ' to the lines that go
6883 on the top of `configure'. Actually, prepend `@%:@ ' so that
6884 there are as many evaluations on both sides.
6885 (_AC_INIT_VERSION): No longer strip `# '.
6887 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6889 * tests/Makefile.am (all-local): Remove. It wastes time to have
6890 testsuite rebuilt each time an ac*.m4 file changes. It is enough
6891 to build it for each `make check'.
6893 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6895 Leave a diversion exclusively for Copyright notices.
6897 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS): New diversion number.
6898 (_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Move definition of `ac_includes_default' from
6899 here...
6900 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): to here.
6901 (_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Play with your diversion yourself, don't let
6902 (AC_INIT): do it for you.
6903 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): New macro.
6904 (AC_INIT): Use it.
6906 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6908 Provide a means to specify more Copyright information in
6909 `configure'. And after all, it suits to `configure --version' too.
6911 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS, AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PREPARE):
6912 New diversion numbers.
6913 (AC_DIVERSION_INIT): Rename as...
6914 (AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): this.
6915 (AC_DIVERT_POP): Instead of going into wild endless loops when
6916 there are more pops than pushes, die with dignity.
6917 (AC_COPYRIGHT): New macro.
6918 (_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Move definition of `ac_includes_default' from
6919 here...
6920 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): to here.
6921 (_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Remove.
6922 (AC_INIT): Use it to install Autoconf's Copyright.
6923 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): New macro.
6924 (AC_INIT): Use it.
6925 (AC_PREFIX_DEFAULTS): Dump in AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS.
6926 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Dump in AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PREPARE.
6928 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6930 We don't need _AC_ARG_*_HELP_PROLOGUE.
6932 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_EXPAND_ONCE): AC_PROVIDE yourself, in case
6933 there is no AC_DEFUN associated with the text to expand.
6934 (_AC_ARG_ENABLE_HELP_PROLOGUE, _AC_ARG_WITH_HELP_PROLOGUE,
6935 _AC_ARG_VAR_HELP_PROLOGUE): Remove, instead...
6936 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH, AC_ARG_VAR): do it yourself.
6938 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6940 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Fix copy n' paste typos in
6941 `--with-*', `--without-*' and `*' decoding.
6942 Reported by Raja R Harinath.
6943 Fixes autoconf/118.
6945 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6947 Don't dump AC_ARG_PROGRAM help messages if not used.
6949 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Don't.
6950 (AC_ARG_PROGRAM): Do.
6952 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6954 Don't dump X help messages when `configure' does not check for X.
6956 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Don't dump X help messages.
6957 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PATH_X): Do it.
6959 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6961 No longer rely on /bin/sh to compose the optional parts of
6962 `configure --help'.
6964 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_HELP_BEGIN, AC_DIVERSION_HELP_ENABLE,
6965 AC_DIVERSION_HELP_WITH, AC_DIVERSION_HELP_VAR,
6966 AC_DIVERSION_HELP_END): New diversion numbers.
6967 (AC_EXPAND_ONCE): New macro.
6968 (AC_PROVIDE_IF): New macro.
6969 (AC_BEFORE, AC_REQUIRE): Use it.
6970 (AC_REQUIRE): Don't use indir.
6971 (_AC_ARG_ENABLE_HELP_PROLOGUE, _AC_ARG_WITH_HELP_PROLOGUE,
6972 _AC_ARG_VAR_HELP_PROLOGUE): New macros.
6973 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH, AC_ARG_VAR): Expand once the
6974 _HELP_PROLOGUE macro which corresponds.
6975 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Adjust to AC_DIVERSION_HELP_BEGIN and
6976 AC_DIVERSION_HELP_END.
6977 (_AC_INIT_NOTICE, _AC_INIT_HELP): Remove the sh code which handled
6978 the optional help strings.
6980 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6982 AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS no longer uses a diversion.
6984 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_CMDS): Removed.
6985 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Don't undivert it.
6987 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6989 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Fix quoted/non quoted here
6990 document problems.
6992 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
6994 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_BINSH, AC_INIT_NOTICE, AC_INIT_PREPARE):
6995 Rename as...
6996 (_AC_INIT_BINSH, _AC_INIT_NOTICE, _AC_INIT_PREPARE): this.
6997 All callers adjusted.
6999 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7001 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Rename as...
7002 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): this.
7003 Move the display of help and version strings to...
7004 (_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): here.
7005 (AC_INIT): Adjust. Also, fix quotation.
7007 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7009 Some tests are failing with srcdir != builddir, because they can't
7010 find config.guess, install-sh etc.
7011 Reported by Erez Zadok.
7013 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO): Set AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR to
7014 top_srcdir in configure.in, and pass the value of top_srcdir to
7015 configure.
7017 2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7019 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH, AC_PATH_PROG,
7020 AC_PATH_PROGS, AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOL, AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM,
7021 AC_EGREP_CPP, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_COMPILE_CHECK, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE):
7022 Use ifval instead of ifelse.
7024 2000-03-07 Mark Elbrecht <snowball3@bigfoot.com>
7026 Support absolute DOS-style paths.
7028 Any character before the colon is accepted because network drives
7029 can be assigned characters outside the [a-zA-Z] range. DOS-style
7030 relative paths (?:foo/bar) are also considered absolute for
7031 Autoconf's purposes since the path '../?:foo/bar' is invalid.
7033 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Treat DOS-style paths (?:*') as
7034 absolute.
7035 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Likewise.
7036 (AC_PATH_PROG): Make pattern for matching DOS-style paths the same
7037 as that used in AC_OUTPUT_FILES and AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS.
7039 2000-03-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7041 * tests/atspecific.m4 (m4_match): Remove, no longer used.
7043 2000-03-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com>
7045 * autoheader.sh: Use `rm -f', not just `rm' when removing temporaries.

7104 AC_CANONICAL_THING, AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX, AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE):
7105 Prepend `_' to their names.

7115 2000-03-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7117 The empty regexp cannot be portably used in egrep's alternation.
7118 For instance with Digital Unix v5.0:

7120 > echo "|foo" | egrep -e "^(|foo|bar)$"
7121 |foo

7156 * config.guess: Updated from master repository.
7157 * config.sub: Likewise.
7159 2000-03-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7161 Test suite: instead of using a full list of the AC macros and an
7162 AT macro with selects which are the AC macros to test, just
7163 produce the list of the AC macros we want to test.
7165 * tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Removed.
7166 * tests/Makefile.am (EGREP_EXCLUDE): New variable, performing the
7167 selection TEST_MACRO used to do.
7168 (macros.m4): Use it. Use AT_TEST_MACRO, not TEST_MACRO. Check
7169 also AU macros.

7228 aclocal.
7229 From Nicolas Joly.
7231 2000-02-22 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
7233 * configure.in (HELP2MAN): Specify the third argument of

7236 2000-02-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7238 * tests/tools.m4 (syntax.sh): The logic of the previous patch was
7239 twisted. Fix it so that it performs what claims the entry below.
7240 From Nicolas Joly.
7242 2000-02-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7244 * tests/tools.m4 (syntax.sh): Exit 1 if you managed to kill the
7245 child, since it means `/bin/sh -n' went loopy.
7247 2000-02-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7249 Some `diff' refuse to diff with /dev/null, such as Tru64's.

7264 Reported by Eli Zaretski.
7265 Also, be ready to use a diff that does not support `-u'.
7267 2000-02-18 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

7270 never return on some `/bin/sh -n foo.sh'.
7271 Reported by Nicolas Joly.
7273 2000-02-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7275 Move the documentation into doc/.

7297 2000-02-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7299 Fix the `missing dummy.in' reported by the test suite.
7300 Reported by Erez Zadok.
7302 * tests/torture.m4 (config.status under extreme conditions):
7303 Reorganized. Because files required by this test were created
7304 outside the pair AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP, when the test fails and
7305 autotest extracts this test, the `debug' script does not contain
7306 the files it needs. Now AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP encloses the full
7307 auto contained section.
7309 2000-02-16 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7311 * tests/actest.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): X_EXTRA_LIBS can be changed by

7322 * tests/semantics.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Adjusted.
7323 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Adjusted.

7333 Reported by François Pinard and Rainer Orth.
7335 * autoreconf.sh: Removed spurious `;;'.
7336 Formatting changes.
7337 * tests/tools.m4 (Syntax of the scripts): Run `sh -n' on all the
7338 shell scripts.
7340 2000-02-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7342 * autoconf.sh (options handling): --v* of --version was shadowing
7343 --verbose.
7345 2000-02-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7347 * tests/torture.m4: Nuke the trailing space in defs.
7349 2000-02-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7351 * tests/atspecific.m4: Really added to the CVS repository.
7353 2000-02-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7355 Don't use `cat -s' to single out new-lines, it is not portable.
7356 Also remove trailing blanks.
7358 * tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Use sed instead of cat.
7359 * tests/torture.m4: No longer check for a trailing space.
7360 * autoconf.sh: Likewise.
7362 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7364 * tests/actest.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): OpenBSD-2.3's /bin/sh defines an
7365 envvar SECONDS which does change with time.
7366 KMEM_GROUP is set by AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG.
7367 Reported by Volker Borchert.
7369 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7371 * tests/Makefile.am (macros.m4): Better regex to build `macro'.
7372 Depend upon acgeneral.m4.
7374 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7376 * autoheader.sh: Remove the duplicate trap code.
7378 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7380 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): When dispatching your arguments, use
7381 ifval, not ifset!
7382 Dispatch actions to AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS not AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, to
7383 avoid unneeded warnings for obsolete use of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS.
7385 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7387 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_VERBOSE): This is a tab, not spaces.
7389 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7391 Changequote busters II.
7392 They're back to save the world.
7394 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O,
7395 AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG,
7396 AC_FUNC_MKTIME, AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE, AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Blast
7397 that jelly o' changequote. Set the quotes free.
7399 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7401 Interrupting autoheader left temp files.
7402 From Jim Meyering.
7404 * autoheader.sh (usage): The usage is to use $0 here.
7405 (ah_base): Be in TMPDIR.
7406 Install the `trap' before creating the first tmp file.
7407 Also trap on 0.
7409 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7411 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): This is a routine of
7412 `configure', not `config.status', hence use `conftest' for tmp
7413 files, not `$ac_cs_root'.
7414 Removed forgotten developer comment.
7415 Double quoting the whole body is nicer than just the part that
7416 needs to be.
7418 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7420 * tests/torture.m4: Also check the value of @DEFS@ when no
7421 CONFIG_HEADER is used.
7423 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7425 Changequote-busters!
7426 From Dan Ackroyd.
7428 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, AC_INIT_PREPARE,
7429 AC_CACHE_SAVE, AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, AC_OUTPUT,
7430 _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS, AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS, AC_OUTPUT_FILES,
7431 _AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, AC_OUTPUT_LINKS, AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Quit
7432 playing with changequotes, @BKL@ and Co.! Just quote properly.
7434 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7436 Honor properly the `#define' config.h.in templates.
7437 Test it.
7439 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Rename as...
7440 (_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): this. All callers changed.
7441 Don't mess with changequote, just quote properly.
7442 Bug 1. Because of the `#' in `ac_dA', the quotes <<>> were not
7443 removed, and therefore the sed script contained `<<define>>'
7444 instead of `define'. Now that the block is properly quoted, there
7445 is no need to quote `define'.
7446 Bug 2. Once a `#define' substitution performed, we were branching
7447 to the top of the sed script (`t top'). This resulted in an
7448 endless substitution of `#define foo 1' to `#define foo 1'.
7449 Branching is not enough: you also have to fetch the next input
7450 line, i.e., use `t' instead of `t t' in ac_dD, and don't output
7451 `: top' in `config.defines'.
7452 Though it was correct for `#undef' templates, just apply the same
7453 transformation to `ac_uD' and `config.undefs'.
7454 Bug 3. Don't try to preserve what was behind the value in the
7455 template, since on
7456 #define NAME "bar baz"
7457 it leads to
7458 #define NAME 1 baz"
7459 Now `ac_dB' catches everything behind the NAME (making sure there
7460 is at least a space) and `ac_dC' only outputs a space.
7461 * tests/torture.m4: Check that various forms of `#define' header
7462 templates are properly handled.
7464 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7466 Avoid calling `rm' without arguments.
7468 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): It is smarter to use a
7469 quoted here doc to output the section providing defaults for
7470 CONFIG_*.
7471 Don't rm the CONFIG_FILES here but in..
7472 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES) [test -n "$CONFIG_FILES"]: here.
7473 Hm, actually, no, just don't remove them at all, let the newly
7474 created files replace the old ones, exactly as in
7475 AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS.
7476 From Graham Jenkins.
7478 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7480 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LIST_MEMBER_OF): s/ac_$exists/$ac_exists/!
7482 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7484 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
7485 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
7487 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7489 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Don't
7490 : ${FOO="$foo"}
7491 but
7492 : ${FOO=$foo}
7493 Since Ultrix will also assign the quotes to FOO.
7494 Reported by Harlan Stenn.
7496 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7498 Keep `AC_CHECK_TYPE' backward compatibility and provide a proper
7499 `AC_CHECK_TYPE',
7500 Based on ideas from Paul Eggert and Alexandre Oliva.
7502 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Rename as...
7503 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW): this.
7504 (AC_CHECK_TYPES): Adjusted.
7505 (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Rename as...
7506 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_OLD): This. Adjusted to _AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW.
7507 No longer support extra includes, stick to 2.13's interface.
7508 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_BUILTIN_P): New macro.
7509 (AC_CHECK_TYPE): New macro.
7510 * autoheader.m4 (autoheader::AC_CHECK_TYPE): Rename as...

7513 * tests/semantics.m4: Test the choices of AC_CHECK_TYPE (wrt _NEW
7514 or _OLD implementation).
7515 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Types): Reorganized. Explain
7516 everything about AC_CHECK_TYPE and Co.
7518 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7520 * libm4.m4 (near m4_split): Remove the buggy additional
7521 changequote.
7522 Quote properly `m4_split' when registering it.
7524 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7526 The AU-glue code for AC_LINK_FILES was not fully compatible: in
7527 AC_LINK_FILES($from, $to)
7528 `$from' and `$to' can be lists, hence `AC_CONFIG_LINKS($to:$from)'
7529 is wrong.
7530 Reported by H.J. Lu.
7532 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Replace the m4-glue code from
7533 AC_LINK_FILES to AC_CONFIG_LINKS, with sh-glue code.
7534 Give a detailed update message.
7535 (_AC_LINK_FILES_CNT): New variable. Initialize.
7536 * tests/tools.m4 (autoupdate): No longer exercise `autoupdate'
7537 with AC_LINK_FILES.
7539 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7541 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_SED): Removed.
7543 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7545 AC_CHECK_FILES has never worked properly.
7547 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILE): Use AC_CACHE_CHECK.
7548 * autoheader.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILES): AH-define.
7549 * tests/semantics.m4: Test AC_CHECK_FILES.
7550 * tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Don't.
7552 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7554 No longer use a diversion to store the sed program implementing
7555 AC_SUBST.
7557 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SUBST): New macro.
7558 (_AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM): Initialize.
7559 (AC_SUBST): Use _AC_SUBST.
7560 (AC_SUBST_FILE): Likewise.
7561 (AC_DIVERSION_SED): Removed. Renumber the AC_DIVERSIONs.
7562 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Instead on undiverting AC_DIVERSION_SED, output
7563 _AC_SUBST_SED_PROGRAM.
7565 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7567 Standardize the error messages in the options handling of
7568 `configure' and `config.status'.
7570 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Rename as...
7571 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): this.
7572 Change the error messages from
7573 value: invalid feature name
7574 to
7575 invalid feature: value
7576 Invite the user to try --help for invalid options.
7577 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Likewise.
7579 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7581 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_COMMANDS): Rename as...
7582 (_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): This. All callers changed.
7583 Disable the verbose message until Automake uses the new features
7584 of `config.status'.
7585 Reported by Jim Meyering.
7587 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7589 Clean up a few changequotes.
7591 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Instead of using changequote
7592 to protect a few `[ ]', double quote the constant sections.
7594 2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7596 Restore AC_HAVE_LIBRARY.
7598 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_HAVE_LIBRARY): AU_DEFUNed in terms of
7599 AC_CHECK_LIB.
7600 * doc/autoconf.texi (Libraries): Document.
7602 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7604 Fix the handling of `./configure foo=bar' and test it.
7606 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, getopt loop): Always define
7607 ac_optarg as the rhs of the first `=', not only on `-.*=', so that
7608 `configure var=val' defines ac_optarg=val.
7609 Improve the robustness to shell special characters:
7610 - Use grep when checking that shell variable names are valid.
7611 - Quote the quotes in ac_optarg before `eval var='$ac_optarg''.
7612 - Quote the quotes when building ac_configure_args.
7614 * tests/torture.m4: Test that `./configure foo=bar' works properly.
7616 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7618 Resynchronize `INSTALL' with the current `configure', and
7619 conversely...
7621 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Let `configure' support `-h =
7622 --help' and `-n = --no-create'.
7623 Document -h, -n and -q in configure's help message.
7624 * install.texi (Operation Controls): Formatting changes.
7625 Document `configure -h'.
7627 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7629 * README: Updated.
7631 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

7635 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7637 Clean up `make clean'.
7639 * Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Added autoupdate.m4f and autoconf.tmp.
7640 * tests/torture.m4: Rm dummy and dummy.in.
7642 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7644 Test `autoupdate'.
7646 * tests/tools.m4 (AH_DEFUN): Fix the comments.
7647 Quote properly.
7648 (autoupdate): New test.
7650 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7652 AU_ glue code for AC_OUTPUT with arguments.
7654 * acgeneral.m4 (AU_DEFINE): New macros, pulled out from AU_DEFUN.
7655 Defines a macro in `autoupdate::' with all the required wrapping
7656 for `autoupdate'.
7657 (AU_DEFUN): Use it.
7658 (AC_OUTPUT): When dispatching your arguments, use ifval, not
7659 ifset!
7660 Dispatch actions to AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS not AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, to
7661 avoid unneeded warnings for obsolete use of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS.
7662 (autoupdate::AC_OUTPUT): New macro.
7663 * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing configure.in, the example): Don't
7664 advocate AC_OUTPUT with args.
7665 (Output, AC_OUTPUT with args): Simplify the documentation, and
7666 provide the translation into the new scheme.
7667 Propagate what remained into the proper sections.
7669 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7671 AU_ glue code for AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS.
7673 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): AU_DEFUNed in terms of
7674 AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS.
7675 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_CNT): New variable, declared both in
7676 `autoconf::' and `autoupdate::'.
7677 (AC_OUTPUT): Register your arguments to AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS only if
7678 there are to avoid spurious `run autoupdate' messages.
7679 * doc/autoconf.texi (Libraries): Document the changes.
7681 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7683 Avoid outputting `config_files' code in `config.status' if there
7684 are none.
7686 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't register $1 to `AC_CONFIG_FILES'
7687 if $1 is empty.
7688 Normalize the names of the sections in `config.status --help'.
7690 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7692 * README-alpha: New file, based on Automake's.
7693 * Makefile.am: Tuned.
7695 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7697 Extend the concept of `INIT-CMDS' to the AC_CONFIG_FOOS.
7699 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_INIT): New macro which will
7700 collect the `INIT-CMDS'.
7701 (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, AC_CONFIG_HEADERS,
7702 AC_CONFIG_FILES): Use it, and also temporarily divert to -1
7703 instead of spamming dnl everywhere.
7704 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Make sure to output the INIT-CMDS
7705 before the other sections, it'd be a pity to initialize after the
7706 use :).
7708 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Actions): New section,
7709 documenting the common behavior of AC_CONFIG_FILES,
7710 AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, macro AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS, and AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
7711 (Configuration Files): Document $2 and $3 of AC_CONFIG_FILES.
7712 (Configuration Headers): Document $2 and $3 of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
7713 (Configuration Commands): Document $2 and $3 of AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS.
7714 (Configuration Links): Document $2 and $3 of AC_CONFIG_FILES.
7716 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7718 * libm4.m4 (m4_sign, m4_cmp, m4_list_cmp): New macros.
7719 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_UNGNITS): Rename as...
7720 (_AC_VERSION_UNLETTER): this. All callers changed.
7721 Implement the scheme proposed by Alexandre Oliva:
7722 Nl -> (N+1).-1.(l#)
7723 (_AC_VERSION_COMPARE): New macro.
7724 (AC_PREREQ): Use it.
7726 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

7729 * tests/tools.m4: Likewise.
7731 2000-02-09 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7733 * tests/base.m4: s/m4 -I ../m4 -I $at_top_srcdir/.
7735 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7737 * autoheader.sh (debug): Initialize to `false', not 0.
7739 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7741 Fix a bug: `libm4::define' was incorrectly registered.
7743 * libm4.m4 (libm4::define): Not only register, define too.
7745 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7747 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_COMPILE_CHECK): Use AU_DEFUN, remove the call
7748 to AC_OBSOLETE.
7750 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7752 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PROVIDE): Use `m4_define', not `define'.
7753 Because of the names pace machinery this change makes `autoconf'
7754 about four times faster on complex `configure.in's.
7756 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7758 Open the access to AH_ to users.
7760 * autoheader.m4 (autoheader::AH_DEFUN): New macro.
7761 * tests/tools.m4: New file, in charge of testing the scripts.
7762 All the dependencies adapted.
7763 * tests/actest.m4 (autoheader::AC_TATOOINE): New macro, used while
7764 testing autoheader.
7765 * tests/atspecific.m4: Create config.hin instead of config.h.in.
7767 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7769 Because of commas and brackets, m4_split must mess with the
7770 quotes.
7772 * libm4.m4 (m4_split): Quote the elements of the list you produce.
7773 * tests/base.m4: New file, testing libm4.
7774 All callers adapted.
7775 Test m4_wrap.
7777 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7779 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Strip the `:foo.in' part
7780 yourself, in order to give better error messages.
7781 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): Adapted to the above change.
7782 Quote some regexp active characters ([+.*]).
7783 Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
7785 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7787 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): Make it more robust to
7788 the fact it is used non quoted.
7789 Reported by Jim Meyering.
7791 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7793 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Simplify some excess in
7794 changequote.
7795 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Likewise.
7797 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7799 * autoupdate.sh: Don't dump --help on --wrong-option.
7800 * autoconf.sh: Reformatting, and use >&2 instead of 1>&2.
7801 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
7802 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
7804 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7806 * libm4.m4 (m4_namespace_push, m4_namespace_pop): Use the private
7807 macros to be robust to name space changes.
7808 (m4_popdef, m4_pushdef): New private macros.
7810 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7812 Let the doc catch up.
7814 * doc/autoconf.texi (Common Behavior): New section, to document
7815 the common behavior of the macros.
7816 (Standard Symbols): New subsection. Describes the transformation
7817 of the AC_DEFINEd names.
7818 (Default Includes): New subsection. Obvious content.
7819 All the ``callers'' updated.
7821 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7823 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Don't use `break' to exit the
7824 while loops which are breaking conftest.defines and
7825 conftest.undefs into smaller snippets: just use the proper
7826 condition for the while.
7827 Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
7829 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7831 * doc/autoconf.texi (Configuration Commands): New section, for
7832 AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS.
7833 Move the definition of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS here.
7834 (Configuration Links): New section, for AC_CONFIG_LINKS and
7835 AC_LINK_FILES.
7836 (Configuration Files): New section, for AC_CONFIG_FILES.
7837 (Globally) Promote AC_CONFIG_HEADERS over AC_CONFIG_HEADER.
7838 (Using System Type): Don't document AC_CONFIG_LINKS and
7839 AC_LINK_FILES.
7840 (Invoking config.status): Mention CONFIG_COMMANDS.
7841 Document --file and --header.
7842 Talk first of the newest interface of config.status.
7844 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7846 Introduce a concept index, and update a bit the documentation.
7848 * doc/autoconf.texi (Concept Index): New section.
7849 Various entries added.
7850 (Typedefs): Rename as...
7851 (Types): this. Pay attention to not limiting the documentation to
7852 the typedefs.
7853 (Particular Types): Mention the equivalent generic test.
7854 Promote the GNU coding style at various places.
7856 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7858 Revamp the autoupdate/AC_OBSOLETE chain. All the details are
7859 given in the prologue of acoldnames.m4.
7861 * acgeneral.m4 (Prologue): Enter the `autoconf' name space.
7862 (AU_DEFUN): New macro.
7864 * autoupdate.m4: New file.
7865 Disable the name spaces `autoconf', and `libm4'. Disable libm4.
7866 * Makefile.am: Tuned to support the changes above.
7868 * autoupdate.sh: Model after autoconf.sh.
7869 Can run on several files at once (for instance m4/*.m4).
7870 Don't touch files that are up to date.
7871 Run m4 on autoupdate.m4f instead of playing with sed.
7874 Use AU_DEFUN.
7876 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES, AC_ENABLE, AC_WITH): Use AU_DEFUN,
7877 remove the call to AC_OBSOLETE.
7878 * acspecific.m4 (AC_CYGWIN32): Likewise.
7879 * acoldnames.m4: Replaced all the definitions via `define' or
7880 `AC_DEFUN' to use `AU_DEFUN'.
7882 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7884 Clean up some m4 files.
7886 * acoldnames.m4: Use `#', not `dnl'.
7887 Don't spread `dnl' everywhere, anyway, we are in a divert(-1).
7888 * autoconf.m4: Likewise.
7889 * autoheader.m4: Likewise.
7891 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7893 Clean up autoconf.
7895 * autoconf.sh: Minor reorganizations to clearly separate the
7896 prologue, which is almost common to all the shell scripts of
7897 Autoconf, and the body.
7899 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7901 Improve support of name spaces in libm4. Put the m4 builtins
7902 in the `libm4' name space.
7904 * libm4 (m4_changequote, m4_define, m4_defn, m4_dnl, m4_indir,
7905 m4_undefine): Private copies in the global name space. Used by
7906 the name space mechanisms.
7907 (m4_namespace_register): New macro.
7908 (m4_namespace_define): Use it.
7909 (builtin, changequote, defn, dnl, esyscmd, ifdef, ifelse, indir,
7910 patsubst, popdef, pushdef, regexp, undefine, syscmd, sysval): Put
7911 in the `libm4' name space.
7912 (m4_disable, m4_enable): Use the private m4_indir, otherwise once
7913 `libm4' closed, there is no `indir' available, and therefore no
7914 means to reopen a name space.
7916 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7918 Output really nothing if AC_INIT was not given. Unconditional
7919 output can be problematic with autoupdate.
7921 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_NOTICE): Output ac_includes_default.
7922 (Default includes section): No longer dump ac_includes_default in
7923 AC_DIVERSION_INIT.
7925 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7927 * libm4.m4 (m4_namespace_define): Fix a bug: `m4_namespace'
7928 instead of `$1'.
7929 Simplify some excess in quoting.
7930 Use NAMESPACE::MACRONAME instead of `m4_defn(NAMESPACE,
7931 MACRONAME)'.
7933 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7935 Adapt autoheader to use libm4's name spaces.
7937 * autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): Removed.
7938 (AH_DEFUN): Define in the `autoheader' name space.
7939 Use only AH_DEFUN to define macros in this file.
7940 (epilogue): No longer run the `AH_HOOKS', enter the `autoheader'
7941 name space.
7943 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7945 Clean up a bit the user interface.
7947 * autoconf.sh: Give your name while reporting errors.
7948 Don't spit --help for errors on arguments.
7949 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
7950 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
7951 More temporary files that one can browse when debugging.
7952 Don't ${var}, just $var.
7953 Don't dump --help when the arguments are invalid.
7954 (config_h): Use the empty value instead of `undefined' to check
7955 that it is defined.
7956 * acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
7958 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7960 Introduce name spaces in libm4.
7962 * libm4.m4 (m4_namespace_push, m4_namespace_pop,
7963 m4_namespace_define, define, m4_disable, m4_enable, m4_rename):
7964 New macros.
7965 (_m4_foreach, _m4_for, m4_wrap): Use m4_define for temporaries.
7966 (m4_split): Don't mess with the quotes.
7968 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS, AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Quote
7969 `define'.
7971 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7973 * doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): m4 1.4 is now required.
7974 (Invoking autoconf): A better help on --trace.
7975 (Defining Symbols): Advocate a proper use of the quotes in m4
7976 code, including if the quotes are sometimes useless. It is bad,
7977 very bad not to quote properly, so quote all the examples
7978 properly.
7979 (Cache Files): Use a unary call to define, instead of an empty
7980 $2.
7981 (Using System Type): Watch out TeX wrapping.
7982 (Pretty Help Strings): Don't give too long a snippet of --help.
7983 Promote the coding style of Autoconf. Quote properly.
7985 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7987 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PRO): Use AC_PROVIDE instead of defining
7988 yourself. This allows to see everything that is AC_PROVIDEd via
7989 autoconf --trace.
7990 (AC_SPECIALIZE): define'd, not AC_DEFUN'd.
7991 (AC_PROVIDE): Use define with a single arg, instead of an empty $2.
7993 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
7995 * acgeneral.m4 (ac_includes_default): Don't use simple quotes, but
7996 doubles quotes if you want to use \-continuation lines: this is
7997 not recognized by MIPS' sh.
7999 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8001 * acgeneral.m4. Formatting changes.
8002 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
8004 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8006 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_LINKS,
8007 AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): A space was missing to separate the arguments
8008 of m4_append.
8010 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8012 Arrange that config.status creates the file with the AC_SUBSTing
8013 engine only if needed.
8015 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Create the sed code only if test
8016 -n "$CONFIG_FILES".
8018 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8020 Promote AC_LANG_CASE.
8022 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILER, AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC, AC_CHECK_LIB,
8023 AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE, AC_CHECK_FUNC):
8024 Use AC_LANG_CASE instead of ifelse (AC_LANG, ...).
8025 (AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC): Quote the body the the AC_DEFUN (whoa, how
8026 could this survive so long?!?).
8028 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8030 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
8031 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
8033 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8035 Use the style we promote.
8037 * doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Promote #if over #ifdef;
8038 and #undef over #define in templates.
8039 * acspecific.m4 (AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST, AC_FUNC_MMAP,
8040 AC_FUNC_SETPGRP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use #if,
8041 not #ifdef and #ifndef, indent CPP directives.
8043 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8045 Quote properly AC_SHELL_IFELSE and callers.
8047 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_IFELSE): Don't overquote $1.
8048 (AC_VAR_IF_SET, AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_HEADER,
8049 AC_CHECK_DECL, AC_CHECK_FUNC, AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Quote the
8050 first argument of AC_SHELL_IFELSE.
8052 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8054 It seems quite delicate to have AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT insert the
8055 default headers in the INIT section of configure: the reason is
8056 that AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT is called unquoted, and this results in
8057 an un expected behavior. Thanks to Roman V. Shaposhnick for the
8058 details.
8060 The current implementation is not satisfying: the default headers
8061 are defined in the INIT section even if they are not used.
8063 * acgeneral.m4 (Prologue of AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULTS): Dump the
8064 definition of ac_includes_default in the INIT section of
8065 configure.
8066 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULTS): Use it.
8068 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8070 * TODO: Updated.
8071 * THANKS: Updated.
8073 2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8075 * libm4.m4 (m4_for): New macro.
8077 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8079 Stay in Autoconf's name space.
8081 * acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Prefixed with 'ac_':
8082 arg, save_arg, i, seen, previous_arg, ld_run_path.
8083 Rename f77_link_output as ac_link_output.
8084 * tests/actest.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): Don't note F77, FFLAGS, FLIBS,
8085 G77, f77_case, f77_underscore.
8087 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8089 Use `#' for comments instead of `dnl'.
8090 Better highlighting of the sections in the sources.
8092 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
8093 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
8094 * autoheader.m4: Likewise.
8095 * acoldnames.m4: Likewise.
8097 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8099 Create libm4.m4.
8101 * Makefile.am: Adjusted for libm4.m4.
8103 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_errprint, m4_warn, m4_fatal, m4_prefix,
8104 m4_eval, m4_shift, m4_format, m4_include_unique, m4_include,
8105 m4_sinclude, m4_quote, m4_split, m4_join, m4_strip, m4_append,
8106 m4_list_append, ifval, ifset, m4_default, m4_case, m4_match,
8107 m4_foreach): Moved from here, to...
8108 * libm4.m4: here.
8109 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): Moved from here, to...
8110 * libm4.m4 (m4_wrap): here. All callers changed.
8112 * acgeneral.m4: Don't include acversion.m4.
8113 * autoconf.m4: Include libm4.m4 and acversion.m4.
8114 * autoheader.m4: Likewise.
8116 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8118 AC_CHECK_SIZEOF: Fix a bug, use standard default headers, and
8119 test.
8121 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Don't over quote $1, some []
8122 were left in the C code, and had the macro fail.
8123 Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
8124 * doc/autoconf.texi: Mention default includes. Explain stdio.h
8125 must always be given.
8127 * tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Updated the list of
8128 exceptions.
8129 (AT_CHECK_DEFINES): New macro, to check the content of config.h.
8130 * tests/semantics.m4: All the tests are updated to use
8131 AT_CHECK_DEFINES.
8132 Test AC_CHECK_SIZEOF, AC_CHECK_HEADERS, and AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
8134 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8136 Give explicit diagnostics when an input file (for config headers;
8137 config files etc.) does not exist.
8138 From Jim Meyering.
8140 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Check for the
8141 existence of source files.
8143 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8145 Torture test config.status, AC_SUBST and AC_DEFINE.
8147 * tests/torture.m4: New file.
8148 * tests/suite.m4: Include it.
8150 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8152 * tests/atspecific.m4 (m4_for, m4_foreach): New macros.
8154 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8156 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Instead of defining an
8157 unused pointer to the type $1, use
8158 if (($1 *) 0) return 0;
8159 to avoid warnings from the compiler.
8160 From Paul Eggert.
8162 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8164 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): Include sys/types.h
8165 Reported by Jim Meyering.
8167 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8169 * tests/atspecific.m4: New file, for AT macros specific to
8170 Autoconf testing.
8171 * tests/suite.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO): Moved to
8172 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO): here.
8173 * tests/syntax.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Moved to
8174 * tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): here. Don't test /^AC_INIT/,
8175 nor /^AC_PROG_\(CC\|CXX\|F77\)_\(GNU\|WORKS\)$/: they are already
8176 tried elsewhere.
8177 * tests/Makefile.am: Adjusted.
8179 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8181 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_case): Fixed a typo and a bug: one shift was
8182 missing.
8183 (m4_match): New macro.
8184 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_CASE): Fixed.
8186 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8188 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
8189 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
8191 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8193 * acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Don't use FFLAGS_SAVE
8194 but ac_save_FFLAGS.
8195 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Don't use foo_bar but ac_foo_bar.
8197 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8199 * acspecific.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Proceed as for AC_C_CONST:
8200 condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
8201 Don't document the autoheader template twice, one is enough.
8202 * autoheader.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): don't hook on this guy, but
8203 on...
8204 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS), since the former is defined on the latter.
8206 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8208 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Use the scheme proposed
8209 by Alexandre Oliva for testing the definition of TYPE:
8210 TYPE *foo;
8211 sizeof (TYPE);
8213 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8215 * acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Don't changequote, there is no need
8216 for it. Just quote properly!
8217 condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
8218 AC_REQUIRE AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
8219 Fix slightly the display of the result (formerly the first run
8220 says `none needed', and later, because of the cache `no').
8221 (AC_C_INLINE, AC_C_VOLATILE): AC_REQUIRE AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
8222 * doc/autoconf.texi (AC_C_CONST): Give a few hints on the
8223 motivation for trusting the C++ compilers.
8225 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8227 * tests/atgeneral.m4: Updated.
8228 (AT_CASE): new macro.
8229 (AT_CHECK): Use it. Don't changequote for patsubst, there is no
8230 need.
8231 * tests/syntax.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Don't run AC_ARG_VAR.
8232 Reported by Jim Meyering.
8233 Use AT_CASE.
8235 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8237 Test that the macros respect the user variable name space.
8239 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_THING): define, not AC_DEFUN.
8240 Don't AC_PROVIDE, there is no need.
8241 When calling `config.sub`, also || exit 1, to catch failures from
8242 config.sub.
8243 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Use ac_val, not val.
8244 (AC_EXEEXT): Use ac_file, not file.
8245 * tests/actest.m4: New file, holding extra Autoconf macros used
8246 during the testing.
8247 (AC_ENV_SAVE): New macro, save the sh variables in a file.
8248 * tests/suite.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO, Generation of configure.in):
8249 include actest.m4, and call twice AC_ENV_SAVE to compare the
8250 variables before and after the macro.
8251 * tests/Makefile.am (macro.m4): Don't test macros that are
8252 required: they will be tested somewhere else.
8254 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8256 * acgeneral.m4(AC_CONFIG_PRE_COMMANDS, AC_CONFIG_POST_COMMANDS):
8257 Rename as AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST. All
8258 dependencies changed.
8259 From Jim Meyering.
8261 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8263 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
8264 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
8266 2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8268 Start a new series of tests which check the semantics.
8270 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): It is not smart to define
8271 ac_Foo, and use AC_Foo. Got rid of AC_Member_Aggregate and
8272 AC_Member_Member which were complicating more than simplifying.
8273 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Use m4 lists.
8274 (AC_CHECK_TYPES): A comma was missing.
8275 * autoheader.m4: (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Use m4 lists.
8276 * doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): AC_CHECK_DELCS uses m4
8277 lists.
8278 * tests/semantics.m4: New file. Collection of semantical tests:
8279 verify that the tests are positive and negative when appropriate.
8280 Test AC_CHECK_MEMBERS, AC_CHECK_DECLS and AC_CHECK_TYPES.
8282 2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8284 * tests/Makefile.am (macros.m4): Fix the sed snippet.
8286 2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8288 * testsuite/autoconf.g/init.exp: Removed, test performed by
8289 tests/syntax.m4.
8290 * testsuite/autoconf.g/sizeof.exp: Likewise.
8291 * testsuite/autoconf.s/defines.exp: Likewise.
8292 * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Adjusted.
8293 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Adjusted.
8295 2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8297 * tests/syntax.m4: Test AC_CHECK_SIZEOF.
8298 * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES, DISTCLEANFILES): Adjusted.
8299 (macros.m4): Use tmp dest files ($@-t), not directly `$@'.
8301 2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8303 Hide AH_HOOK behind AH_DEFUN.
8305 * autoheader.m4 (AH_DEFUN): New macro. Combination of define and
8306 AH_HOOK.
8307 (AC_TRY_RUN, AC_DEFINE, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED, AC_CHECK_LIB,
8308 AC_CHECK_HEADERS, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_DECLS,
8309 AC_CHECK_FUNCS, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF, AC_PROG_LEX, AC_CHECK_MEMBERS,
8310 AC_CHECK_TYPE, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_CHECK_TYPES, AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED,
8311 AC_AIX, AC_F77_WRAPPERS, AC_CONFIG_HEADER): All the former calls
8312 to define and AH_HOOK in autoheader.m4 are replaced by AH_DEFUN.
8314 2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8316 * acspecific.m4 (AC_RSH, AC_ARG_ARRAY, AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG): No use
8317 to hide, you are DEFUNCT.
8319 1999-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8321 * autoconf.texi (Invoking ifnames): ifnames no longer supports
8322 --macrodir.
8324 1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8326 Run the `syntax' test on acgeneral macros too.
8327 Fix the bugs discovered.
8329 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_THING): Quote the
8330 AC_REQUIRE([AC_CANONICAL_HOST]). Bug triggered by the use of
8331 AC_CANONICAL_BUILD alone in configure.in. Also, quote the
8332 arguments of macros (eg, ifelse([$1]...), not ifelse($1...)).
8333 (m4_case): New macro.
8334 (AC_LINKER_OPTION): Don't clash with user's name space
8335 (s/i/ac_link_opt).
8336 (AC_LIST_MEMBER_OF). You mean AC_FATAL, not AC_MSG_ERROR.
8337 Quote properly the argument.
8338 dnl out the empty lines that result from m4 pure code.
8339 Don't pollute the user name space.
8340 Use AC_SHELL_IFELSE.
8341 (AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Don't use `test -o'. There are still
8342 name space problems.
8343 * tests/Makefile.am (macros.m4): Also fetch the macros from
8344 acgeneral.m4.
8346 1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8348 Really install this patch.
8350 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Allow an
8351 optional $2: exit status.
8353 1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8355 Check that the AC_DEFINEs from acspecific.m4 do have a template.
8356 Fix the discovered bugs.
8358 * tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_CHECK): Don't just exit 1 when you want
8359 to propagate the failure of a test: exit with the same exit
8360 status, at least to preserve 77 (=ignore).
8361 * tests/syntax.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Run also autoheader. Don't run
8362 this test on all the macros, some just cannot run without
8363 arguments.
8364 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): In the if egrep/fi for
8365 #define templates, add a `:' to prevent syntax errors in
8366 config.status when there are no AC_DEFINE performed.
8367 * autoheader.m4 (AH_TEMPLATE): Don't use _AC_SH_QUOTE here, use it
8368 in...
8369 (AH_VERBATIM): here. Now AH_C_UNSIGNED_CHAR is no longer failing
8370 (formerly it would produce a non backslashed backquote, which
8371 made sh choke).
8373 1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8375 Introduce a means to distinguish failures of `configure' due to
8376 extern software (so that the test suite doesn't fail on them).
8378 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Allow an
8379 optional $2: exit status.
8380 * doc/autoconf.texi: Document.
8381 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, PROG_CXX_WORKS,
8382 AC_PROG_F77_WORKS): Exit 77 if the compiler does not work.
8384 1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8386 Clean up a bit the handling of the LANG stack. More is needed.
8388 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_CASE): New macro.
8389 (AC_LANG_RESTORE): Use m4_case.
8390 (AC_LINKER_OPTION): Use AC_LANG_CASE.
8392 1999-11-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8394 * autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Fixed a typo which
8395 prevented `make distcheck' from succeeding.
8396 * texinfo.tex: Updated for the same reasons.
8398 1999-11-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8400 Introduce a new style of testing, independent from DejaGNU.
8403 Introduce the logistics.
8405 * configure.in: Initialize AT, and output tests/atconfig, and
8406 tests/Makefile.
8407 * m4/atconfig.m4: New file.
8408 * m4/Makefile.am: Adjusted.
8409 * aclocal.m4: Include atconfig.m4.
8410 * Makefile.am: Adjusted.
8411 * tests/Makefile.am: New file.
8412 * tests/atgeneral.m4: Likewise.
8413 * tests/atconfig.in: Likewise.
8416 Write tests.
8418 * tests/syntax.m4: New file, in charge of checking the validity of
8419 the sh code produced by the macros defined in acspecific.m4.
8420 acgeneral.m4 is not checked here, because these macros require
8421 arguments.
8422 * tests/suite.m4: New file. Run syntax.m4.
8424 1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8426 A test suite will be introduced which tries to run all the
8427 specific macros, but hasbeen'd macro make configure die with bad
8428 exit status. So we wish to distinguish live macros from defunct
8429 macros at the moment they are AC_DEFUN'd, not in their body. Hm,
8430 defunct, defunct... Hey! That's a good name!
8432 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUNCT): New macro, comparable to AC_DEFUN,
8433 but for macros which are no longer defined. Replaces AC_HASBEEN.
8434 (AC_HASBEEN): Defunct. Well, removed in fact.
8435 (AC_HAVE_LIBRARY): Don't use AC_DEFUN and AC_HASBEEN, just
8436 AC_DEFUNCT.
8437 * acspecific.m4 (AC_UNISTD_H, AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H, AC_DIR_HEADER,
8438 AC_INT_16_BITS, AC_LONG_64_BITS): Likewise.
8439 (AC_XENIX_DIR): It was defunct even before I declared it was: was
8440 depending upon AC_DIR_HEADER which is defunct. So AC_DEFUNCT'ed
8441 now.
8442 (AC_DYNIX_SEQ, AC_IRIX_SUN, AC_SCO_INTL): While we're here, you
8443 too are defunct now.
8444 * autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Replace the documentation of
8445 AC_HASBEEN with that of AC_DEFUNCT.
8447 1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8449 * autoconf.sh: Formatting changes.
8450 Removed development junk.
8451 * acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
8452 * autoconf.m4: Likewise.
8453 * autoheader.m4: Likewise.
8455 1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8457 Let Autoconf use autoconf's `--install'.
8459 * m4/Makefile.am: New file.
8460 * m4/init.am: New file, required by Automake.
8461 * m4/missing.am: Likewise.
8462 * m4/sanity.am: Likewise.
8463 * aclocal.m4: Include them.
8464 * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Added m4/Makefile.
8466 1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8468 Make autoconf support --install.
8470 * autoconf.sh (task install): New task. Extract the set of
8471 auxiliary m4 files a configure.in depends upon. Install links
8472 from library files to the local dir so that the packages depends
8473 only on local extensions. Check that the user includes exactly
8474 the files she needs.
8476 1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8478 Require GNU m4 1.4 (well 1.3 in fact).
8480 Because we are ready to handle the case where there are no frozen
8481 files, we *have* to pass a -I, which is dangerous in conjunction
8482 with the silent including of `aclocal.m4': you may include things
8483 that were not expected. Since anyway handling pre 1.3 complicates
8484 the task, just require an m4 which supports reloading of frozen
8485 files.
8487 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): Check for --reload.
8488 * autoconf.sh: Likewise
8489 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
8490 * configure.in: Explicitly state the m4 version you want.
8492 1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8494 No need for foo="`bar`", foo=`bar` is fine.
8495 Simplify ${foo} and ${1} into $foo and $1.
8497 * acgeneral.m4 (ac_LF_and_DOT): Remove the double quotes.
8498 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O): Likewise.
8499 * autoconf.sh: Likewise.
8500 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
8501 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
8502 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
8503 * ifnames.sh: Remove all the code and messages related to
8504 AC_MACRODIR, since ifnames is not related to macros in anyway.
8506 1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8508 New version of AC_INCLUDE, which does not glob, nor rely upon the
8509 shell. Add AC_INCLUDES too. Help tracking multiple inclusions.
8511 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_errprint, m4_warn, m4_fatal): New macros,
8512 variations around errprint.
8513 (m4_include_unique): New macro which registers what are the files
8514 already included, and warns if some are included several times.
8515 (m4_include, m4_sinclude): New macro, using m4_include_unique.
8516 (AC_INCLUDE): Is now just a wrapper of m4_include.
8517 (AC_INIT): Use m4_sinclude, not sinclude.
8518 (_AC_ERRPRINT): Removed, m4_errprint is here!
8519 (AC_WARNING, AC_FATAL): Wrappers of m4_warn and m4_fatal.
8521 1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8523 * autoheader.sh: No longer rely on a system acconfig.h.
8525 1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8527 Be kind to Automake: list the arguments of selected macros
8528 (for instance AC_SUBST will list each variable which may be
8529 substitued).
8531 * autoconf.sh (--trace, --output): New options.
8532 Implement tracing of macros.
8533 trap also on 0, so that there is no need to rm here and there.
8534 * autoconf.texi (Output): Document --trace and --output.
8536 1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8538 Clean up the macros for testing members of aggregates.
8540 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): FATAL if $1 has no dot in it.
8541 Use AC_INCLUDE_DEFAULTS.
8542 (AC_C_STRUCT_MEMBER): Removed.
8543 * acspecific.m4 (AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Adapted to AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
8544 (AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE, AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV): Adapted to
8545 AC_CHECK_MEMBERS and obsoleted.
8546 (AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS): Adapted to AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
8547 * autoconf.texi (AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE, HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV):
8548 Explain they are obsoleted, and how to migrate.
8549 (AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS, AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE): Explain that the
8550 AC_DEFINE changed (but the former #defines remain defined
8551 currently).
8552 (AC_C_STRUCT_MEMBER): Removed, replaced by the definitions of
8553 AC_CHECK_MEMBER and AC_CHECK_MEMBERS.
8555 1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8557 Install a uniform set of default includes.
8559 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): New macro. Expands in its
8560 argument if non empty, otherwise a default list of includes.
8561 (AC_CHECK_DECL, AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
8562 * autoconf.texi: Adjusted.
8564 1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8566 * autoheader.m4 (AH_FUNC_ALLOCA, AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, AH_AIX):
8567 Don't leave `[]dnl' in pseudo #-comment (actually CPP directives).
8569 1999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8571 Fix a bit of the brokenness of AC_CHECK_TYPE.
8573 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): New macro, inspired from
8574 the former AC_CHECK_TYPE. This macro is exactly the one that
8575 ought to be named AC_CHECK_TYPE: it just checks, and executes user
8576 actions. In the future, this macro ought to be renamed
8577 AC_CHECK_TYPE.
8578 There is a big difference with the former AC_CHECK_TYPE: instead
8579 of grepping in the headers, it tries to compile a variable
8580 declaration. This is both safer, slower, and better, since now we
8581 can check for compiler types (e.g., unsigned long long).
8582 (AC_CHECK_TYPES): The looping and AC_DEFINEing version of the
8583 previous macro. Uses m4 loops.
8584 (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Reimplemented on top of AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL.

8649 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8651 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Don't use define/undefine, but
8652 pushdef/podef. AC_UPCASE_NAME no longer exist.
8654 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8656 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
8658 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

8679 AC_ARG_WITH, AC, TRY_COMPILER, AC_TRY_RUN, AC_TRY_CPP,
8680 AC_EGREP_CPP): Use @PND@ instead of [#]: it looses the editors
8681 that try to match the pairs of (), [] etc.
8683 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8685 Fix the compatibility of the compiling macros with C++.

8694 Likewise.
8695 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Call
8696 AC_CHECK_HEADERS(fnmatch.h), and include fnmatch.h in the compiled
8697 code.
8699 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8701 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_COMPILE_CHECK, AC_TRY_COMPILE,
8702 AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE, AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use @PND@ instead of
8703 [#]: it looses the editors that try to match the pairs of (), []

8713 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_UNGNITS): New macro which transform version
8714 numbers to pure digits (2.14a to 2.14.0.1, 2.15z to 2.15.0.26
8715 etc.).
8716 (AC_PREREQ): Normalize argument and AC_ACVERSION via AC_UNGNITS.
8718 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8720 Fix the --version of all the executables.

8739 its definition for the motivations.
8741 * autoheader.m4 (AH_FUNC_ALLOCA): Remove the now useless

8778 * configure.in: Use it.
8780 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8782 Provide a means to specify commands to run before config.status is
8783 created (and, for symmetry, after it is created).
8785 This is typically needed by Automake so that AC_REPLACEd functions
8786 go through deansification via
8788 LIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o /\$U.o /g;s/\.o$/\$U.o/'`
8790 and/or by Libtool which needs to define LTLIBOBJS and others:
8792 LTLIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o/\.lo/g'`
8793 AC_SUBST(LTLIBOBJS)
8795 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_PRE_COMMANDS): New growing string.
8796 Initialize.
8797 (AC_OUTPUT_POST_COMMANDS): Likewise.
8798 (AC_CONFIG_PRE_COMMANDS): New macro, grows AC_OUTPUT_PRE_COMMANDS.
8799 (AC_CONFIG_PRE_COMMANDS): Likewise.
8800 (AC_OUTPUT): Run AC_OUTPUT_PRE_COMMANDS before
8801 AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS, and AC_OUTPUT_POST_COMMANDS after.
8803 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8805 Remove spurious empty lines appearing in configures.
8807 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Produce no output. Instead of
8808 fighting with dnl, divert to KILL upon entry, and pop at exit.
8810 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8812 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Avoid using double quotes
8813 inside "`...`": some shells parse this incorrectly.
8815 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8817 * Makefile.am (pkgdata_DATA, EXTRA_DIST): Removed acconfig.h.
8818 * testsuite/autoconf.s/defines.exp: Commented out, there is no
8819 longer an acconfig.h.
8821 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8823 * autoconf.m4: Insert -*- Autoconf -*-.
8824 * acgeneral.m4: Likewise.
8825 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
8826 * acoldnames.m4: Likewise.
8828 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8830 Create AC_CONFIG_HEADERS which has the same interface as the other
8831 AC_CONFIG_*S.
8833 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): New macro, with the same
8834 interface as AC_CONFIG_LINKS and AC_CONFIG_FILES.
8835 (AC_LIST_HEADERS_COMMANDS): New growing string, initialize it.
8836 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Rename as...
8837 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): this, for consistency.
8838 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): New macro, which calls AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS.
8839 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): The square brackets for sed and grep were
8840 not properly quoted: use @BKL@ and @BKR@.
8841 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Run the AC_LIST_HEADERS_COMMANDS.
8843 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Once config.status created, before
8844 running it, trap to `exit 1' so that config.status is not removed
8845 if configure is interrupted when config.status is complete.
8847 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When recognizing
8848 arguments, accept only foo, and no longer foo:foo.in etc.
8850 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8852 * acgeneral.m4: Formating changes.
8854 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8856 config.status: Speed up the creation of config headers (about four
8857 times faster on Linux).
8859 The previous scheme had three sed commands for each AC_DEFINE: one
8860 for #define templates, and two for #undef templates (with or
8861 without trailing spaces). Divide this in three sed scripts
8862 instead: a one liner that removes the trailing spaces, one for
8863 #defines, and then the last for #undef.
8865 The real speed up comes from the fact that the #define script
8866 starts by checkin if the current input line has a #define, and if
8867 not the script immediately goes to the next line, without running
8868 the rest of the script as was the case before. Equally for the
8869 #undef script.
8871 Note that this way, users that don't use #define templates don't
8872 pay too much the overhead, since the sed script `realizes' quickly
8873 there are no #define lines. My test case runs in 0.32s with
8874 #define templates, and 0.24s without. To improve this common
8875 case, the whole code for #define templates is conditionalized by a
8876 proper egrep call. The result runs is 0.24s, i.e., almost no cost
8877 at all.
8879 I made one dangerous change that I carefully evaluated before
8880 commiting: the sed scripts are cut at 48 lines instead of 12 as
8881 before. This produces here docs of about 4Kb. I checked many
8882 `configure's and they all have big here documents, much bigger
8883 than the 12 lines (for instance AC_FUNC_MMAP produces a 150 lines
8884 long, 3800+ character here document). So I moved to the well
8885 known HP UX sed limitations: no more than 100 commands, and there
8886 are two commands per line now, plus a two command preamble. The
8887 speed up is noticeable.
8889 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Remove the ac_e
8890 family.
8891 Changed ac_uD and ac_dD to `...;t t', instead of `...g'.
8892 Instead of creating `conftest.vals' with both ac_e, ac_d,
8893 and ac_u family, preprocess to strip the trailing spaces, and
8894 create `conftest.defines' with the ac_d family, and then
8895 `conftest.undefs' for the ac_e family.
8896 Break up both `conftest.defines' and `conftest.undefs'. Insert a
8897 top label and a global test for `#defines' and `#undef' before.
8898 Call `conftest.defines' if there are #define in the input.
8899 Call `conftest.undefs'.
8901 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8903 * acgeneral.m4: Prefer `>file' over `> file' etc.
8904 * acspecific.m4: Likewise.
8906 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8908 Rename the family AC_NEED_DECL as AC_CHECK: it is more uniform,
8909 but keep defining NEED_FOO_DECL when `foo' is not declared. Files
8910 not using Autoconf behave better when declarations lacks than when
8911 they are wrong. So the unset position should off, hence #if NEEDS
8912 instead of #if !HAVE (which is triggered when HAVE is not set).
8914 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_NEED_DECL): Rename as...
8915 (AC_CHECK_DECL): This. Make sure the arguments are the usual
8916 IF-FOUND, IF-NOT-FOUND.
8917 (AC_NEED_DECLS, AC_CHECK_DECLS): Likewise.
8918 * autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Document the changes
8919 aforementioned.
8920 * autoheader.m4 (AH_NEED_DECLS): Rename as
8921 (AH_CHECK_DECLS): This.
8922 (AH_HOOKS): Hook AH_CHECK_DECLS on AC_CHECK_DECLS instead of
8923 _NEED_.
8925 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8927 Revamp the handling of the arguments of config.status: instead of
8928 looping over config_files etc. to recognize the file names, use
8929 the case which handles the options.
8930 Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
8932 * acgeneral.m4 (ifset): Rename as...
8933 (ifval): This. All callers changed.
8934 (ifset): New macro, which tests if a macro is set to a non empty
8935 value.
8937 * acgeneral.m4: Initialize growing lists and strings to empty, to
8938 ease the tests.
8939 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Quote AC_LIST_HEADERS in the define, to handle
8940 the case AC_LIST_HEADERS is initialized.
8942 * acgeneral.m4: (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): New macro, pulled out
8943 from...
8944 (AC_OUTPUT): Instead of using $1, $2 and $3, pass them to the
8945 official macros (AC_CONFIG_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS).
8946 Call AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS.
8947 (option handling): Use the case-esac to recognize arguments.
8948 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS): Fix the missing fi;done.
8950 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8952 Add a means to specify commands to be run by config.status. At
8953 the difference of AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, require that the set of
8954 commands be named, so that both
8955 CONFIG_COMMANDS=foo ./config.status
8956 and
8957 ./config.status foo
8958 perform the Right Thing.
8960 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Also check in
8961 AC_LIST_COMMANDS.
8962 (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove a dead pushdef.
8963 (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS): New macro.
8964 (AC_LIST_COMMANDS): New config list.
8965 (AC_LIST_COMMANDS_COMMANDS): New growing string.
8966 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_COMMANDS): New macro, output config commands
8967 in config.status.
8968 (AC_OUTPUT): Take AC_LIST_COMMANDS into account.
8969 (AC_OUTPUT): Call AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_COMMANDS.
8971 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
8973 New macro: AC_CONFIG_FILES which is very much like AC_OUTPUT but
8974 that one associates commands to run when a config file is created.
8975 For instance for a shell script `foo', one uses
8976 AC_CONFIG_FILES(foo, chmod +x foo).
8978 In addition, check that the same name is never used twice in
8979 config files, headers, subdirs and links.
8981 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_append): Don't insert new line between
8982 elements.
8983 (m4_list_append): New macro.
8984 (AC_CONFIG_IF_MEMBER): New macro which tests if a file is member
8985 of a config list.
8986 (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): New macro which ensures that a config file
8987 name is not yet used.
8988 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Use
8989 AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE.
8991 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_FILES): New macro.
8992 (AC_LIST_FILES): New list, which stores arguments of
8993 AC_CONFIG_LISTS the same as AC_LIST_LINKS stores AC_CONFIG_LINKS
8994 etc.
8995 (AC_OUTPUT): No longer rely on $1 to designate the config files:
8996 register them via AC_CONFIG_FILES. All uses of $1 replaced by
8997 uses of AC_LIST_FILES.
8998 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Run the commands associated to the
8999 CONFIG_FILES.
9001 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9003 * autoconf.sh (Looking for bugs): In addition to AC_, match AH_
9004 and AM_.

9008 Provide the m4 infrastructure for defining AH_ hooks.
9010 * autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): New macro.
9011 Hook all the AC_ macros to their AH_siblings in AH_HOOKS.
9012 Run AH_HOOKS.
9014 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_append): New macro.
9015 (m4_list_append, m4_list_add): Removed.

9028 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9030 * autoheader.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): Rename from this ...
9031 (AH_FUNC_ALLOCA): ... to this. Includes all the needed templates.
9032 (AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED): Rename from this ...
9033 (AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED): ... to this.
9035 1999-10-31 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9037 * Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): New explicit variable.
9038 (editsh): acdatadir is no longer defined, so use pkgdatadir.
9039 (editpl): Likewise. From Akim Demaille.
9040 * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
9042 * configure: Regenerate.
9043 * aclocal.m4: Generate.
9044 * Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake.
9045 * testsuite/Makefile.in: Likewise.
9047 1999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9049 Use Automake. Based on files from Ben Elliston.

9052 acversion.m4.
9053 * acversion.m4.in: New AC_CONFIG_FILE.
9054 * acspecific.m4: Few formating changes.
9055 * autoconf.texi: No longer define EDITION, VERSION and UPDATED:
9056 include version.texi.
9057 AC_OUTPUT the Makefiles mentioned below and acversion.m4.
9058 * configure.in: Use AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
9059 Do not AC_ARG_PROGRAM: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE does it.
9060 * Makefile.am: New file.
9061 * mdate-sh: Likewise.
9062 * missing: Likewise.
9063 * testsuite/Makefile.am: Likewise.
9065 1999-10-31 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9067 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC, AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Inherit from
9068 Automake. From François Pinard.
9069 * autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
9070 (C Compiler Characteristics): Document AC_C_PROTOTYPES.
9072 * testsuite/autoconf.s/defines.exp: Changed `fail' and `pass' in
9073 `xfail' and `xpass'. The test suite checks that acconfig.h
9074 templates the AC_DEFINEs. Since we no longer rely on acconfig.h,
9075 the test is obsolete.
9076 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_BINSH, AC_PROG_SED): Don't quote the name
9077 of the macro defined; the test suite does not recognize this
9078 syntax. From Akim Demaille.
9080 1999-10-27 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9082 * autoconf.texi (Generic Programs): @defmac for AC_PATH_TOOL may
9083 not span multiple lines.

9117 1999-10-05 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de>
9119 Shell meta characters in an argument causes the configure script
9120 to freak out and generate a config.status file that contains
9121 syntax errors.
9122 Bug triggered by ./configure --with-foobar=\''`"$'.
9124 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Quote single quotes that end
9125 up between single quotes. Protect arguments of echo with double
9126 quotes.
9127 (AC_INIT_PREPARE): Likewise.
9128 (AC_PATH_PROG): Protect argument of test.
9129 (AC_OUTPUT): Quote meta characters in ac_configure_args.
9131 1999-10-05 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>

9134 when X is not available.
9136 1999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9138 The sed quoting script depends on the shape of the commands used
9139 by AC_SUBST. The latter was changed, but not the former.
9140 Bug triggered with FOO='%\c' AC_SUBST(FOO).
9142 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Fix the sed quoting script.
9144 1999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9146 When you rely on the `t' flag of sed for the immediately
9147 preceding substitution, use a combination of `: foo; t foo'.
9148 Bug triggered if you AC_DEFINE(FOO, "%").
9149 Additionally, work around a bug in IRIX sed.
9150 Suggested by Ken Pizzini.
9152 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Added a label and a test in the
9153 sed code of `$ac_cs_root.hdr'.
9155 1999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9157 Implement AC_PATH_TOOL.
9158 Submited by Gary V. Vaughan.
9160 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PATH_TOOL): New macro.
9161 * autoconf.texi (Generic Programs): Document.
9163 1999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9165 Handle arbitrary version numbers.
9166 Reported by H.J. Lu.
9168 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_split): Support a second optional argument: a
9169 regexp to specify where to split.
9170 (m4_compare): New macro, compares arbitrary long m4 lists of
9171 integers.
9172 (AC_PREREQ_SPLIT, AC_PREREQ_CANON, AC_PREREQ_COMPARE): Removed,
9173 replaced by more generic macros.
9174 (AC_PREREQ): Reimplemented, using m4_compare and m4_split.
9176 1999-10-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9178 Beware of the expansions of $n in comments.
9180 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Changed $1 into $[1] in dnls.
9182 1999-10-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9184 Revert partially the previous changes: AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT is
9185 used by AC_HEADER_DIRENT.
9187 * autoheader.m4: Restablish the hook for AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT.
9189 * acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT):
9190 Reinserted.
9192 1999-10-02 Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
9194 * acgeneral.m4: Instead of just undefining eval, format, include
9195 and shift, rename them to m4_eval, etc.
9197 1999-10-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9199 AC_DIR_HEADERS is hasbeen'ed.
9201 * acspecific.m4 (AC_DIR_HEADER): Raised from obsolete to hasbeen.
9203 * acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT):
9204 Removed, were used only by AC_DIR_HEADER and were not documented.
9206 * autoheader.m4: Remove the hooks for AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT.
9208 * autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Removed the documentation of
9209 AC_DIR_HEADER.
9211 * autoconf.texi (Environment Variables): Remove the very last
9212 traces of documentation of --env-VAR.

9218 * autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Document AC_HASBEEN.
9220 * autoconf.texi (Libraries): Remove the documentation of
9221 AC_HAVE_LIB.
9222 (Particular Headers): likewise for AC_UNISTD_H, AC_MEMORY_H,
9223 AC_USG.
9224 (C Compiler Characteristics): Likewise for AC_INT_16_BITS,
9225 AC_LONG_64_BITS.
9227 1999-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9229 Make the handling of the configuration links (AC_LINK_FILES)
9230 exactly the same as that of configurations files (AC_OUTPUT_FILES)
9231 and headers (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS). As a result, it is sane to run
9232 ./config.status src/libmy_lib
9233 or
9234 CONFIG_LINKS=src/lib_mylib:lib/lib_mylib ./config.status
9236 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Use AC_FATAL to diagnose bad
9237 number of argument.
9238 Obsoleted (but implemented) in favor of AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
9240 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): New macro. Takes space
9241 separated list of DEST:SOURCES arguments.
9243 * acgeneral.m4: Rename each occurrence of AC_LIST_HEADER as
9244 AC_LIST_HEADERS for consistency.
9246 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT, config.status prologue): Move the
9247 definition of config_files and config_headers to the top.
9248 Add the definition of config_links.
9249 Change the help message to use the aforementioned variables.
9251 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Adapted to the new scheme of
9252 AC_LIST_LINKS.
9254 * autoconf.texi (Output, AC_OUTPUT): Mention AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
9255 (Invoking config.status): Mention CONFIG_LINKS.
9257 * autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Document AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
9258 Explicit the obsoleteness of AC_LINK_FILES.
9260 1999-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9262 Moving most of the task of creating config.h.in from sh to m4.
9263 Getting rid of acconfig.h by supply a major new family of macros:
9264 AH_* which make it possible to insert arbitrary text into
9265 config.h.in.
9267 * autoheader.m4: Major rewrite: introduction of a set of macros
9268 AH_ that produce code into config.h.in. There are two sets of
9269 macros: generic macros, or specialized, documented below. The
9270 basic idea is that an AC_FOO macro which needs an entry in
9271 config.h.in should have a sibling AH_FOO which expands into that
9272 entry. In a near future, these macros will be moved next to their
9273 siblings.
9275 * autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, AH_DEFINE, AH_DEFINE, AH_NEED_DECLS,
9276 AH_CHECK_SIZEOF, AH_CHECK_FUNCS, AH_CHECK_HEADERS,
9277 AH_CHECK_HEADERS, AH_CHECK_LIB, AH_PROG_LEX, AH_FUNC_ALLOCA,
9278 AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, AH_AIX, AH_F77_WRAPPERS): New macros.
9280 * autoheader.m4 (End section): Bind AC_ macros to their
9281 AH_siblings.
9283 * autoheader.sh: Remove the sections in charge of SYMS, TYPES,
9284 FUNCS, HEADERS, LIBS and DECLS: autoheader.m4 is now in charge of
9285 these.
9287 * autoheader.sh (options): Added -d, --debug, which does not
9288 remove the temporary files.
9290 * autoheader.sh: Instead of redirecting stdout to the output
9291 stream, always output to a temporary file. This allows to change
9292 slightly the consistency check: before autoheader would check that
9293 each non documented AC_DEFINE is templated in an acconfig. Now it
9294 just checks whether the template is in the output file.
9296 * acconfig.h: Completely emptied, the remaining templates
9297 (_ALL_SOURCE, __CHAR_UNSIGNED__, F77_FUNC, F77_FUNC_,
9298 HAVE_STRINGIZE, and STACK_DIRECTION) are now either associated to
9299 their AC_DEFINE, or to one of the new AH_ macros.
9301 * acgeneral.m4: Reordering of the m4 macros which are not specific
9302 to Autoconf.
9304 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_HAVE_LIB): Promoted from obsolete to hasbeen.
9306 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_CPP): Fixed quoting problem, and missing ^
9307 in patsubst.
9308 (AC_TR_SH): Fixed quoting problem.
9310 1999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9312 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): Don't output an extra space after the
9313 last word.
9315 1999-09-29 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9317 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Check for the kstat_open()
9318 function in libkstat (on systems such as Solaris). This family of
9319 functions is preferred since they don't require setgid permissions
9320 to use them. Fix for PR autoconf/65.
9322 1999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9324 * acconfig.h: Commit the change announced below.
9326 1999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9328 * acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Changed from
9329 const charset x;
9330 to
9331 const charset x = {0, 0};
9332 From Jim Meyering.
9334 1999-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9336 Start to get rid of acconfig.h. It is an anachronism.
9338 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Both cases must be evaluated the
9339 same number of times.
9341 * acconfig.h (_ALLOCA, CLOSEDIR_VOID, const, CRAY_STACKSEG_END,
9342 DGUX, DIRENT, GETGROUPS_T, GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED, GETPGRP_VOID,

9356 uid_t, UMAX, UMAX4_3, USG, vfork, VOID_CLOSEDIR, WORDS_BIGENDIAN,
9357 X_DISPLAY_MISSING, YYTEXT_POINTER): Removed their autoheader
9358 template. They are now documented with their own AC_DEFINE.
9360 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_HASBEEN): New macro. Same as AC_OBSOLETE, but
9361 dies.
9363 * acspecific.m4 (AC_UNISTD_H, AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H, AC_INT_16_BITS,
9364 AC_LONG_64_BITS): Promoted from obsolete to hasbeen.
9366 * autoheader.m4 (AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Define via AC_DEFINE, so
9367 that we program things only once.
9368 (AC_DEFINE): Use AC_WRAP and _AC_SH_QUOTE. It is now safe to have
9369 backquotes and extra spaces in the third argument, without
9370 yielding a bad result.
9372 * autoheader.m4: Instead of a huge `eval', use a temporary file.
9373 (option handling): Added --debug, to keep the temporary files.
9374 Fixed a couple of missing quotes.
9376 1999-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9378 Make AC_FOREACH be robust to active symbols.
9380 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_split, m4_join, m4_strip): New macros.
9381 (AC_FOREACH_COMMA): Rename as...
9382 (m4_foreach): this.
9383 (_AC_CAR): Renamed as...
9384 (_m4_car): this.
9385 (_AC_FOREACH): Renamed as...
9386 (_m4_foreach): this.
9387 (_AC_COMMATIZE): Removed.
9388 (AC_FOREACH): Rewritten using m4_split, m4_join, m4_strip, and
9389 m4_foreach.
9390 * acgeneral.m4: Spell checked.
9391 * autoconf.texi: Likewise.
9393 1999-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9395 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_NEED_DECL): When $4 is given, don't provide
9396 defaults headers.
9397 Change the message from `have' to `need'.

9399 Remove trailing parentheses.
9401 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_NEED_DECLS): Change the actions for
9402 `if-(not-)found' to `if-(not-)needed.
9403 Define NEED_DECL_foo, instead of NEED_foo_DECL.
9405 * autoheader.sh (decls): Reflect this.

9423 <strings.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stddef.h>, and <unistd.h>.
9425 * autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Updated.
9427 1999-09-27 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9429 * autoscan.pl (scan_files): Emit an AC_PROG_CC invocation to
9430 configure.scan if there are any C files present. Fix for PR
9431 autoconf/19.
9433 1999-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9435 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): Rewritten.
9436 (AC_HELP_STRING): Wrapper of AC_WRAP.
9437 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Rewritten. Don't try to handle
9438 both backslashed and non backslashed backquotes in a single
9439 string: consider that either all the backquotes are quoted, or
9440 none.
9442 1999-09-26 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9444 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG): Use a single case statement for

9457 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Eliminate gratuitous spaces from
9458 $ac_sources if this variable is otherwise empty. Fix for PR
9459 autoconf/30.
9461 1999-09-25 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9463 * autoconf.texi (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF): Do not mention which systems
9464 might have their setvbuf() arguments reordered. It's difficult to
9465 accurately determine and is not essential. Fix for PR autoconf/7.
9467 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Emit an error if an incorrect
9468 number of arguments are collected. Fix for PR autoconf/10.
9470 1999-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

9476 1999-09-25 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9478 * acgeneral.m4: Rename the occurrences of the variable `confstat'
9479 as `ac_cs_root'. The previous name was breaking the naming
9480 scheme.

9484 * TODO: Updated.
9485 Added a section for 2.15 and 3.

9502 commented out in configure.in. Reported by Erez Zadok
9503 as a fix for PR autoconf/21.
9505 * install.texi: Replace `can not' with `cannot'.
9507 1999-09-23 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
9509 Avoid that comments from aclocal.m4 show up in configure when
9510 using AC_REVISION.
9512 * acgeneral.m4: New diversion levels AC_DIVERSION_KILL and
9513 AC_DIVERSION_BINSH introduced. Use AC_DIVERSION_KILL as the

9515 (AC_INIT_BINSH): Set AC_DIVERSION_BINSH explicitly
9516 (AC_REVISION): Likewise.

9519 1999-09-23 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9521 * NEWS: Document AC_ARG_VAR.
9523 * acspecific.m4 (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Avoid a needed execution by
9524 using a pure compilation test. Excellent for cross compilation.
9525 From Kaveh R. Ghazi.
9527 1999-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9529 * install.texi: Give more details on envvar handling.
9530 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Add a third argument to tune the
9531 width of the first column.
9532 (AC_INIT_NOTICE): Initialize ac_arg_enable_help, ac_arg_with_help,
9533 and ac_arg_var_help.
9534 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Remove the handling of
9535 --env-var=. After debate, the solution chosen to specify envvars
9536 to configure is a` la make: ./configure VAR=VAL.
9537 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, --help): Output ac_arg_enable_help,
9538 ac_arg_with_help, and ac_arg_var_help.
9539 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_VAR): New macro, to register and document
9540 influent envvars.
9541 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Document CFLAGS.
9542 This is mainly to test AC_ARG_VAR. Var to document are to be
9543 defined.
9545 1999-09-22 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9547 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_default): New macro.
9548 (AC_CHECK_LIB): When ACTION-IF-FOUND is specified, don't perform
9549 the default action.
9550 Reported by Pavel.
9552 1999-09-22 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9554 * config.guess: Clear the CCOPTS environment variable before
9555 invoking the C compiler on HP-UX. This is necessary to guarantee
9556 that the test program is compiled correctly. Reported by Dietmar
9557 P. Schindler.
9559 1999-09-22 Linas Vepstas <linas@linas.org>
9561 * config.guess: Add OS/390 match pattern.

9572 Roskin. Fix for PR autoconf/2.
9573 * configure: Regenerate.
9575 1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9577 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS, --help message): Use quoted

9590 the model of AC_TR_SH.
9591 All callers changed.
9593 * autoconf.sh (Checking for Bugs): Remove the indirection that
9594 made the `sort -u' useless.
9596 1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9598 * autoconf.sh (Last sed cmd): Change also @PND@ to `#', since this
9599 is also a symbol very hard to quote in m4.
9601 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Use AC_VAR_*.
9603 * acgeneral.m4: Use `m4_BUILTIN' instead of indirection via
9604 `builtin'.
9606 1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9608 * autoconf.texi (Particular Structures): Move documentation of
9609 AC_HEADER_STAT and AC_HEADER_TIME from here...
9610 (Particular Headers): to here.
9611 (Declarations): New section.
9612 (Particular Headers): Move doc of AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST from here...
9613 (Particular Declarations): to here.
9615 1999-09-21 Kaveh R. Ghazi <ghazi@caip.rutgers.edu>
9617 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECL, AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECLS): New
9618 macros.
9620 * autoconf.texi (AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECL, AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECLS):
9621 Document.
9623 * autoheader.m4: Add support for AC_CHECK_FUNC_DECLS.
9625 * autoheader.sh: Likewise.
9627 1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9629 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_IFELSE): New macro.
9630 (AC_VAR_IF_SET): Use it.
9631 (AC_CHECK_FUNC): Likewise.
9633 * Makefile.in (${srcdir}/configure): Use autoconf.sh to build
9634 Autoconf's configure. Before the building was performed running
9635 m4 at hand, but much was not done (e.g., __oline__,
9636 @BKL@... expansion)
9638 1999-09-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9640 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Don't remove the CONFIG_HEADERS
9641 unconditionaly: it breaks the `config.h has not changed' trick.
9643 1999-09-20 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9645 * autoheader.sh: Bourne shell compatibility fix. From Pavel Roskin.
9647 1999-09-20 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
9649 * autoheader.sh: Fix the tr invocation.
9651 1999-09-17 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9653 * config.guess: Detect QNX version 4.
9654 * config.sub: Handle `qnx' and `i386-qnx' aliases.
9656 1999-09-17 Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
9658 * config.guess: Eliminate the trailing dot if ${UNAME_RELEASE} is
9659 1.4-<SOMETHING>. Fix for PR autoconf/22.
9661 1999-09-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9663 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Improve configure's --help.
9665 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Change the root of filenames of
9666 config.status from $conftest to $confstat.
9667 The previous patch to make config.status reentrant was wrong,
9668 because it changed some `conftest' that are used by configure into
9669 `$conftest', while it was for config.status only. To avoid
9670 another confusion like this, all the filenames of config.status
9671 should be `$confstat*', and those of configure should be
9672 `conftest*'.
9673 (AC_OUTPUT): Rename the uses of `ac_file' for the sed fragments as
9674 `ac_sed_frag'.
9676 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): This macro used to open the here
9677 documents that configure uses to generate config.status, included
9678 that of the submacros. Now, it no longer handles the here
9679 documents for its subroutines (it was far to hard to track).
9680 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Open and close your here documents to
9681 $CONFIG_STATUS.
9682 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Likewise.
9683 (AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Likewise.
9685 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Move $ac_vpsub and $extrasub
9686 from the AC_SUBST substitutions (i.e., that of @SHELL@ etc.) to
9687 the specific section (that of @srcdir@ etc.).
9688 Now the ``general substitution'' section is absolutely uniform.
9690 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SUBST): Change sed call from `s%@from@%to%g'
9691 into `s%@from@%to%;t t'.
9692 (AC_SUBST_FILE): Likewise.
9693 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Optimize the sed scripts by branching if there
9694 are no `@' on the line. Impressive speed up.
9696 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add THANKS.
9698 * THANKS: New file.
9700 1999-09-15 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9702 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILE): Use ifset.
9703 (AC_CHECK_FUNC): Updated to use AC_VAR_*, and AC_CACHE_CHECK.
9704 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Likewise.
9705 (AC_CACHE_CHECK): Use AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED.
9706 (AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED): New macro.
9708 1999-09-15 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>
9710 Fix for PR autoconf/28.
9711 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Don't assume LF is \012, use
9712 `echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
9713 * autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
9714 * configure: Rebuilt.
9716 1999-09-14 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>
9718 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Don't assume LF is \012,
9719 use `echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
9720 * autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
9721 * configure: Rebuilt.
9722 Reported by Christian Krone.
9724 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDE): New macro.
9725 * autoconf.texi: Document it.
9727 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Save INSTALL in
9728 ac_given_INSTALL, so that we can adjust relative pathnames for
9729 sub-configures.
9731 * acgeneral.m4 (Configuration): Accept --env-VAR=VALUE and
9732 VAR=value.
9733 * autoconf.texi, install.texi: Document it.
9734 * configure: Rebuilt.
9736 1999-09-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9738 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Rewrite in m4. Have m4 work, and
9739 give a break to sh.
9740 (_AC_FOREACH): Be careful not to evaluate the arguments. A loop
9741 over *quoted* macro names should loop over the macro names, not
9742 upon their expansion.
9743 (_AC_COMMATIZE): Also swallow end of lines.
9745 * autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Updated to reflect the
9746 changes.
9748 1999-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9750 * acgeneral.m4 (ifset): New helpy tiny macro.
9751 (AC_OUTPUT): Improved --help of config.status.
9752 (AC_OUTPUT): Remove inconditionaly all the files to be updated.
9753 (AC_OUTPUT): Use pid to define the temporary file names in order
9754 to allow parallel builds.
9756 * autoconf.sh: Substitute also /@BKL@/[/ /@BKR@/]/ /@DLR@/$/ so
9757 that these characters are more easily accessible from m4 without
9758 turning changequote juggling into a nightmare.
9760 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): New macro, for word wrapping.
9762 * autoconf.texi: Update the direntry for more modern Texinfos.
9763 Add pointer to configure and config.status.
9764 Remove the dots from the menus: horizontal space is precious.
9765 (Invoking config.status): More traditional presentation of the options.
9767 1999-09-07 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9769 * autoreconf.sh: Recognise -v as a synonym for --verbose.
9771 1999-09-07 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
9773 * Makefile.in (INSTALL, standards.info, autoconf.info): MiKTeX
9774 for Windows treats all options after the first filename as
9775 additional filenames, so real options must appear before the first
9776 filename.
9778 1999-09-07 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
9780 * autoconf.texi (LDFLAGS, LIBS): Document that -L linker flags
9781 should be kept in LDFLAGS and not LIBS.
9783 1999-09-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
9785 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Use $ac_lib as the index, not $i.
9787 1999-09-06 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9789 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): Rename cache variable to avoid
9790 name clashes with AC_CHECK_HEADER(alloca.h).
9792 1999-09-05 Steve Chamberlain <sac@pobox.com>
9794 * config.sub: Add support for configuring for picoJava (pj).
9796 1999-09-05 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9798 * acgeneral.m4 (CONFIG_AUX_DIRS): Try running `shtool install'.
9799 Contributed by Ralf S. Engelschall.
9801 1999-09-04 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9803 * config.guess: Use POSIX compliant shell code on DG/UX.
9804 Suggested by Stephen Gildea.
9806 1999-09-04 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
9808 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Output comment to not only
9809 `Makefile', but also `makefile'.
9811 1999-09-04 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
9813 * Makefile.in (install): Don't freak if the M4FROZEN files were
9814 never generated. m4 1.1 is supported, but doesn't freeze files.
9816 1999-09-04 Scott Bambrough <scottb@netwinder.org>
9818 * config.guess: Autodetect ArmLinux using 2.9.1.xx linker
9819 emulation names and using the emulation names from the linker from
9820 the binutils CVS tree.
9822 * config.sub: Change manufacturer name for the NetWinder alias
9823 from Corel to Rebel.
9825 1999-09-04 Jeremy Elson <jelson@circlemud.org>

9832 name.
9834 1999-09-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
9836 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_ACVERSION): Bump to 2.14.1 to differenciate the
9837 experimental branch from the main trunk.
9839 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_FOREACH_COMMA): New macro, to perform m4 loops
9840 on m4 lists (i.e., list='(item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)').
9841 (AC_FOREACH): New macro, to perform m4 loops on shell lists (i.e.,
9842 list='item_1 item_2 ... item_n').
9844 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN): Now accept two other optionnal
9845 parameters: the name of the macro which is specialized here, and
9846 the name of the first argument. For instance `AC_CHECK_FNMATCH'
9847 should be declared as specializing `AC_CHECK_FUNC' for `fnmatch'
9848 as first argument.
9850 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILES): Use AC_FOREACH for looping,
9851 instead of the shell's loop.
9853 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR): In addition to transliteration, provide a
9854 means to specify the valid destination alphabet and a default
9855 character for aliens characters. This is in order to remove
9856 characters such as `+:-' etc. that may appear in file names, but
9857 are not valid for shell variables or #defines.
9858 (AC_TR_DEFINE): New macro, maps anything to a valid uppercase
9859 #define rhs.
9860 (AC_TR_UPCASE_NAME): Replaced by AC_TR_DEFINE. All callers
9861 changed.
9862 (AC_TR_UPCASE_FILE): Likewise.
9864 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_SH): Don't use the generic AC_TR: there is a
9865 difficult problem of quoting between m4 and sh. Use the variable
9866 $ac_tr_sh to work around this difficulty.
9867 (AC_VAR_TEST_SET): New macro, which tests if a variable is set.
9868 (AC_VAR_IF_SET): New `ifelse' macro.
9869 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Use AC_VAR_IF_SET.
9870 (AC_INIT_NOTICE): Define $ac_tr_sh.
9872 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILE): Converted to use AC_TR and AC_VAR
9873 families.
9875 * acgeneral.m4: Fixed the regular expressions: `$' shall not be
9876 portably in a sed \(\) group.
9878 1999-08-28 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>

9908 argument to AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX and AC_PROG_F77. Document
9909 additions to the Fortran 77 compiler search list.
9911 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_F77): Add more Fortran 77 compilers to
9912 the search list. Contributed by Steven G. Johnson.

9917 which gives the user an opportunity to specify an alternative
9918 search list for the compiler.
9920 1999-08-18 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
9922 * config.guess: Remove "/MP" from the release string on
9923 multiprocessor x86 machines running SVR4.0. Suggested by Tom
9924 Purcell.

9928 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Add optional third argument
9929 INCLUDES, which specifies the headers in which to search for the
9930 type in question. Also, pass a "description" argument to
9931 AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
9932 * acconfig.h (mode_t, off_t, pid_t, size_t): Remove definitions.
9933 * autoconf.texi (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Document optional third argument.
9935 1999-08-05 Jeffrey A Law <law@cygnus.com>

9946 Contributed by Guido Flohr.
9948 1999-08-04 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>

9956 From Pavel Roskin.
9958 1999-07-16 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
9960 * autoheader.sh: Be more stringent when looking to see if symbol
9961 is in a template file.

9965 * acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): New implementation, to
9966 make maintenance easier.

9978 1999-07-04 Mark Elbrecht <snowball3@bigfoot.com>
9980 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CXX): Look for gpp after g++. gpp is the
9981 DJGPP C++ compiler, since `g++' is not a valid DOS filename.

10804 * autoreconf.sh: Do the right thing when AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
10805 given more than one filename. As noted in the "Invoking
10806 autoheader" node of the info files, autoheader will use the first
10807 file argument given to AC_CONFIG_HEADER. Prior to this patch,
10808 autoreconf would end up executing incorrect shell code (e.g.
10809 "test ! -f 1.h 2.h.in") in such cases.
10810 Patch submitted in parallel to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.

10827 * acspecific (AC_PROC_INSTALL): Don't use installbsd on OSF.
10829 Wed Sep 3 23:00:44 1997 Chris Provenzano <proven@cygnus.com>
10831 * configure : New configure generated by autoconf.
10832 * Makefile.in : Set SHELL=@SHELL@. configure now substiutes
10833 ${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} in for @SHELL@ at configure time.
10835 Mon Aug 11 01:40:37 1997 Jason Molenda <crash@cygnus.co.jp>
10837 * acspecific (AC_FUNC_VFORK): If cross-compiling, set
10838 $ac_cv_func_vfork_works to $ac_cv_func_vfork (assume vfork works

10855 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Add a semicolon between
10856 shell variable assignments; the evaluation order varies between
10857 implementations.

10874 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK): Make the final
10875 newline consistent with the other AC_TRY_* macros: no final dnl

10877 (AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_HAVE_LIBRARY, AC_COMPILE_CHECK): Remove
10878 extraneous dnl's.
10879 (AC_DIVERSION_CMDS, AC_DIVERSION_ICMDS): New macros.

10884 correctly even if they contain single quote, or are quoted by
10885 the shell. From Paul Eggert.
10886 (AC_INIT_PREPARE): Set LC_MESSAGES to C if set.
10887 From Hans Olsson.
10888 Set LC_CTYPE to C if set.
10889 From Thomas Winder.

10911 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS): Use
10912 AC_TRY_COMPILER instead of AC_TRY_LINK.
10913 (AC_PROG_CC_GNU, AC_PROG_CC_G): Split out of AC_PROG_CC.
10914 (AC_PROG_CXX_GNU, AC_PROG_CXX_G): Split out of AC_PROG_CXX.
10915 For the *_G macros, make the cache variable names non-GNU-specific.
10916 (AC_C_CROSS): Mark obsolete, and otherwise a no-op.
10918 * AUTHORS: New file.
10919 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add it.

10944 suggest AC_CHECK_HEADERS instead of AC_HEADER_STDC.
10946 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move initialization of
10947 ac_max_here_lines here from AC_OUTPUT_HEADER.
10949 * autoheader.sh: Take the multiple-include protection back out.
10950 It's not needed for a file that just #defines stuff, and, as Ken
10951 Raeburn pointed out in Apr 1994:
10952 Since you don't make it optional, and you don't give the writer of
10953 configure.in much control over the name of the symbol, it also would
10954 prevent one "config.h" file in a subdirectory from including
10955 "../config.h" as a way to avoid duplicating some common tests.
10957 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS): Don't try
10958 running a program, just try linking.
10959 (AC_C_CROSS): Make the wording clearer.

10965 (AC_FUNC_VFORK): Call _exit after perror.
10966 (AC_PATH_XTRA): Go back to using -R, as setting an env var as part
10967 of CC doesn't get eval'd correctly to actually work.
10968 Directly test whether a space is needed after -R.
10969 Don't add "-L" to LDFLAGS if $x_libraries is empty.
10970 (AC_FUNC_STRFTIME): Check for it in -lintl only if it's not in the
10971 normal libraries.
10973 * Test release 2.10.3.
10975 * testsuite/Makefile.in (dejacheck): New target, suggested by Tom
10976 Tromey.
10977 (check): Depend on dejacheck.

10981 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Split the list of sed commands in
10982 conftest.subs into multiple files named conftest.s[1-9][0-9]*.

10984 the temporary files. From John W. Eaton.
10986 * acspecific.m4 (AC_AIX, AC_MINIX): Remove warnings about AC_TRY_LINK.
10987 These macros don't change the linkage options.
10989 * Test release 2.10.2.
10991 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX) [GCC]: Use -O2 instead
10992 of -O. Suggested by fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).
10994 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Support passing
10995 AC_CONFIG_HEADER a value containing shell variables. Suggested by
10996 Markku Savela and Julian Onions.

10998 AC_TRY_CPP): Show the test program in config.log if the test fails.
10999 From Karl Berry.
11001 * testsuite/config/unix.exp: Run the configure script as "./script"
11002 in case the user doesn't have "." in their PATH.
11004 Mon Nov 11 18:02:58 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>
11006 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK): Deal with smart
11007 compilers that know that an unused function doesn't have to be
11008 linked in: call the function directly from main().
11009 (Removing a legacy from when they tried to run the code, I think-djm.)
11010 From fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).
11012 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Rename ac_save_LIBS to avoid
11013 a clash with AC_CHECK_LIB.
11014 From Jim Meyering.
11015 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3,
11016 AC_FUNC_STRCOLL, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Rename cache variables to avoid
11017 wrong results if someone calls AC_CHECK_FUNC for these functions.
11019 * autoheader.sh: Don't cmp with config.h.in if it doesn't exist yet.
11020 Don't frob lines 1-@TOP@ or @BOTTOM@-end of acconfig.h's.
11021 Accept TAB as well as SPC after #undef in acconfig.h's.

11035 * autoheader.sh: Add multiple-inclusion protection for config.h.
11037 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Pretty up the output.
11038 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Include the function being tested in the message.
11039 (AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_PATH_PROG): Add a dummy variable to force word
11040 splitting on the path.
11042 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP): Remove check and uses of valloc.
11043 It turns out it's a separate issue, for GNU grep.
11044 Replace the test program with a new version from Mike Haertel.
11046 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_SAVE): Accept the HP-UX sh 'set' output
11047 format. From Marcus Daniels.
11049 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_CHECKING, AC_CHECKING): Write a message to
11050 config.log also. From T.E.Dickey.
11051 (AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Replace use of
11052 tr with sed, to avoid a bug in the AIX 4.1.3.0 tr reported by
11053 Alain Knaff. He says that version of tr interprets \055 as a
11054 range specifier, like an unquoted -.
11055 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT,
11056 AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Ditto.
11058 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): New macro.

11068 Check system-dependent libs before system-independent ones.
11069 Check for more system-dependent libs.
11070 From Karl Berry.
11071 Use AC_CHECK_FUNC in the system-dependent libs tests.
11072 From Larry Schwimmer.
11073 Wart removal: Don't require AC_ISC_POSIX.
11074 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Require AC_PROG_CC, since it uses $GCC.
11075 From gvran@uddeborg.pp.se.
11076 Don't blather about being called before AC_TRY_LINK,

11095 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): New macro.
11096 * acconfig.h (HAVE_FNMATCH): New entry.
11098 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Call AC_CHECK_FUNCS to do the work.
11100 Tue Oct 29 13:03:44 1996 Doug Evans <dje@canuck.cygnus.com>
11102 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Fix thinko in computation of
11103 ac_sub_srcdir in relative but not "." case.
11105 Thu Oct 10 22:29:37 1996 David J MacKenzie <djm@catapult.va.pubnix.com>

11306 * acgeneral.m4: When creating config.status, start a new
