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.

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 *

use a private temp dir. 5872 Suggested by Jim Meyering. 5873 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 `$tmp' dir. 5887 Let `config.status' support `--debug'. 5888 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Avoid the leading space in `ac_configure_args'. 5889 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking config.status): Adjust. 5890 58912000-05-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> 5892 5893 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Set up traps to remove 5894 temporaries upon exit, too, not just upon receipt of signal. 5895 58962000-05-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 5897 5898 AC_CHECK_PROG macro fails if REJECT value is set under Digital 5899 Unix 4.0x and 5.0 because `"$@"' expands into an empty parameter 5900 (instead of nothing) when there are no positional parameters. 5901 From Nicolas Joly. 5902 5903 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_CHECK_PROGS): Prefer 5904 `$$1' to `[$]$1', `$foo' to `[$]foo', `$[1]' to `[$]1', and 5905 `${1+"$[@]"}' to `"[$]@"'. 5906

`Obsolete Constructs'. 5930 (Autoheader Macros): Document AH_VERBATIM, AH_TEMPLATE, AH_TOP and 5931 AH_BOTTOM. 5932 59332000-05-03 Nicolas Joly <njoly@pasteur.fr> 5934 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. 5938 59392000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 5940 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'. 5945 59462000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 5947 5948 Simplify the handling of `acconfig.h'. 5949 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. 5956 59572000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 5958 5959 Support of acconfig.h was broken. Fix and test. 5960 Reported by Jim Meyering. 5961 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. 5965 59662000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 5967 5968 Rename the language FORTRAN77 as Fortran 77. 5969 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. 5975 59762000-05-03 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 5977 5978 Provide a macro to canonicalize a configuration name. 5979 Suggested by Ralf Corsepius. 5980 5981 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICALIZE): New macro. 5982 (_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Use it. 5983 5984 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 $host. 5989 Suggested by Mo DeJong, Pavel Roskin, Tom Tromey, Ian Lance 5990 Taylor, and many others. 5991 5992 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Set `$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. 6001 6002 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. 6007 6008 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Do that. 6009 (_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Drop the support of `$nonopt'. 6010 6011 6012 Documenting --build, --host and --target when configure does not 6013 handle them causes confusion. 6014 Suggested by Pavel Roskin. 6015 Nevertheless configure must not die on such an `unsupported' 6016 option: it does happen that people build an entire tree of 6017 packages, some of them expecting `--host' etc. some others not. 6018 Stressed by Tom Tromey and Ian Lance Taylor. 6019 6020 * acgeneral.m4 (HELP_CANON): New diversion. 6021 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Don't document these options. 6022 (AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): 6023 Document your associated option. 6024 60252000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6026 6027 Don't double quote in AC_MSG_*. 6028 6029 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Don't double quote. Escape the 6030 double quotes too. 6031 (_AC_ECHO_UNQUOTED): Don't double quote :). 6032 (_AC_ECHO, _AC_ECHO_N): Quote the call to _AC_SH_QUOTE. 6033 6034 The autoheader chain needs to be adjusted. 6035 6036 * acgeneral.m4 (AH_VERBATIM): Just pass two arguments to AH_OUTPUT 6037 instead of trying to build what `autoheader' needs: let it handle 6038 the format by itself. 6039 * autoheader.m4: Adjust. 6040 s,tmp/config.h,tmp/config.hin. 6041 6042 The adjustment revealed that `autoconf --trace' is not robust to 6043 single quotes in its argument. 6044 6045 * autoconf.sh: Fix this issue. 6046 Rename the escape `$*' as `$%'. Implement `$@'. 6047 * doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust. 6048 60492000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6050 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 ($0 ~ /foo/) sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 0.03s. 6055 mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo) }' -> 0.03s. 6056 6057 * autoconf.sh (task script, AWK script): Run `sub (__oline__, 6058 oline)' only in the lines that match `__oline__'. 6059 Suggested by Paul Eggert. 6060 60612000-04-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6062 6063 * autoconf.sh (options handling::-W*): Strip two leading chars, not 6064 just one. 6065 60662000-04-20 Dave Love <fx@gnu.org> 6067 6068 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_MKTIME): Use AC_SUBST. 6069 60702000-04-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6071 6072 Provide a fine grained control over autoconf's warnings. 6073 6074 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_WARNING_IFELSE, _AC_DIAGNOSE, AC_DIAGNOSE): 6075 New macros. 6076 (AC_DEFUN_ONCE, AC_OBSOLETE, AC_BEFORE, AU_DEFUN, AC_PREREQ, 6077 AC_WARNING, AC_FATAL, AC_TRY_RUN): Use AC_DIAGNOSE. 6078 * autoconf.sh: Provide support for `--warnings', `-W'. 6079 * doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoconf): Adjust. 6080 (Reporting Messages): New section. 6081 60822000-04-12 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6083 6084 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Move --srcdir in the first 6085 section. 6086 Document --help=short and recursive. 6087 Split the `Directory' section into `Installation directories' for 6088 --prefix and --exec-prefix, and all the others into `Fine tuning 6089 of the installation directories'. 6090 In the latter, don't repeat `in DIR', the user understands, and it 6091 comes out better. 6092 Default for --exec-prefix is PREFIX. 6093 Reported by Kathryn Hargreaves. 6094 Move --host before --build. 6095 Fix a test on `$ac_init_help' which was not updated. 6096 60972000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6098 6099 Have `make check' succeed with CC=g++. 6100 6101 * tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO): Don't check `env-after' if 6102 the file does not exist, which may happen when a `configure' exits 6103 brutally. 6104 * tests/semantics.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBERS, AC_CHECK_TYPES): ANSI C++ 6105 forbids members named like their hosting struct, so don't do it. 6106 61072000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6108 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 $0, use the same order as the other 6115 executables. 6116 (parse_args): Don't dump `--help' on cmd line errors. 6117 61182000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6119 6120 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PROVIDE_IF): Rename as... 6121 (AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE): this. Change all callers. 6122 Spread the use of AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE, no macro should know how 6123 AC_PROVIDE names its internal variables. 6124 61252000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6126 6127 * acgeneral.m4: Simplify all the `foo="$bar"' into `foo=$bar'. 6128 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 6129 * aclang.m4: Likewise. 6130 61312000-04-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6132 6133 Move obsolete macros' definitions out of the way. 6134 6135 * doc/autoconf.texi (Old Macro Names): Rename as... 6136 (Old Macros): this.

But then, the 6423 argument of the explicit AC_INIT call is lost. 6424 6425 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): New macro. 6426 (_AC_INIT_SRCDIR): Adjust. 6427 (_AC_INIT): Pass your argument to AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR. 6428 64292000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6430 6431 * tests/semantics.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG, AC_PATH_PROGS): New tests. 6432 64332000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6434 6435 Start the language support overhaul: Introduce AC_LANG(). 6436 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. 6445 64462000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6447 6448 Speed ups. 6449 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. 6459 64602000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6461 6462 * tests/tools.m4 (autoconf --trace): New test. 6463 64642000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6465 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. 6469 64702000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6471 6472 Uniform idioms. 6473 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 6479 64802000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6481 6482 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE, _AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move more 6483 initializations to... 6484 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): here. 6485 64862000-03-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6487 6488 Give a means to compute `srcdir' earlier in configure. 6489 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. 6494 64952000-03-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> 6496 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. 6501 6502 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT) [setting IFS]: Be careful 6503 to use space, tab and new line, in precisely that order. 6504 65052000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6506 6507 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS. 6508 No argument, use AC_LIST_SUBDIRS. 6509 Adjust callers. 6510 65112000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6512 6513 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_ARG_ENABLE, AC_ARG_WITH): Double quote the head 6514 of the help snippet. 6515 65162000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6517 6518 Give an identity to `configure' scripts. 6519 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. 6527 65282000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6529 6530 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes. 6531 65322000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6533 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. 6537 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'. 6541 65422000-03-20 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6543 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. 6547 65482000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6549 6550 Use a single tool to reformat the raw `configure' script output by 6551 m4. 6552 Suggested by Paul Eggert. 6553 6554 * autoconf.sh: Stop playing with 2 seds and an AWK to finalize 6555 `configure', a single AWK program is enough. 6556 65572000-03-17 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 6558 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. 6563 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. 6567 65682000-03-17 Joseph S.

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. 7463 74642000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 7465 7466 Avoid calling `rm' without arguments. 7467 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 "$CONFIG_FILES"]: here. 7473 Hm, actually, no, just don't remove them at all, let the newly 7474 created files replace the old ones, exactly as in 7475 AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS. 7476 From Graham Jenkins. 7477 74782000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 7479 7480 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LIST_MEMBER_OF): s/ac_$exists/$ac_exists/! 7481 74822000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 7483 7484 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes. 7485 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 7486 74872000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 7488 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. 7495 74962000-02-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 7497 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. 7501 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.

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. 7984 79852000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 7986 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 $2. 7992 79932000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 7994 7995 * acgeneral.m4 (ac_includes_default): Don't use simple quotes, but 7996 doubles quotes if you want to use \-continuation lines: this is 7997 not recognized by MIPS' sh. 7998 79992000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8000 8001 * acgeneral.m4. Formatting changes. 8002 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8003 80042000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8005 8006 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_LINKS, 8007 AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): A space was missing to separate the arguments 8008 of m4_append. 8009 80102000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8011 8012 Arrange that config.status creates the file with the AC_SUBSTing 8013 engine only if needed. 8014 8015 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Create the sed code only if test 8016 -n "$CONFIG_FILES". 8017 80182000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8019 8020 Promote AC_LANG_CASE. 8021 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?!?). 8027 80282000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8029 8030 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes. 8031 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8032 80332000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8034 8035 Use the style we promote. 8036 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. 8042 80432000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8044 8045 Quote properly AC_SHELL_IFELSE and callers. 8046 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. 8051 80522000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8053 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. 8059 8060 The current implementation is not satisfying: the default headers 8061 are defined in the INIT section even if they are not used. 8062 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. 8067 80682000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8069 8070 * TODO: Updated. 8071 * THANKS: Updated. 8072 80732000-02-08 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8074 8075 * libm4.m4 (m4_for): New macro. 8076 80772000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8078 8079 Stay in Autoconf's name space. 8080 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. 8086 80872000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8088 8089 Use `#' for comments instead of `dnl'. 8090 Better highlighting of the sections in the sources. 8091 8092 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes. 8093 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8094 * autoheader.m4: Likewise. 8095 * acoldnames.m4: Likewise. 8096 80972000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8098 8099 Create libm4.m4. 8100 8101 * Makefile.am: Adjusted for libm4.m4. 8102 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. 8111 8112 * acgeneral.m4: Don't include acversion.m4. 8113 * autoconf.m4: Include libm4.m4 and acversion.m4. 8114 * autoheader.m4: Likewise. 8115 81162000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8117 8118 AC_CHECK_SIZEOF: Fix a bug, use standard default headers, and 8119 test. 8120 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. 8126 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. 8133 81342000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8135 8136 Give explicit diagnostics when an input file (for config headers; 8137 config files etc.) does not exist. 8138 From Jim Meyering. 8139 8140 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Check for the 8141 existence of source files. 8142 81432000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8144 8145 Torture test config.status, AC_SUBST and AC_DEFINE. 8146 8147 * tests/torture.m4: New file. 8148 * tests/suite.m4: Include it. 8149 81502000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8151 8152 * tests/atspecific.m4 (m4_for, m4_foreach): New macros. 8153 81542000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8155 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. 8161 81622000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8163 8164 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): Include sys/types.h 8165 Reported by Jim Meyering. 8166 81672000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8168 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. 8178 81792000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8180 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. 8185 81862000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8187 8188 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes. 8189 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8190 81912000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8192 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. 8196 81972000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8198 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. 8205 82062000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8207 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); 8212 82132000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8214 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. 8224 82252000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8226 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. 8234 82352000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8236 8237 Test that the macros respect the user variable name space. 8238 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. 8253 82542000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8255 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. 8260 82612000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8262 8263 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes. 8264 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8265 82662000-02-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8267 8268 Start a new series of tests which check the semantics. 8269 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. 8281 82822000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8283 8284 * tests/Makefile.am (macros.m4): Fix the sed snippet. 8285 82862000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8287 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. 8294 82952000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8296 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 `$@'. 8300 83012000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8302 8303 Hide AH_HOOK behind AH_DEFUN. 8304 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. 8313 83142000-02-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8315 8316 * acspecific.m4 (AC_RSH, AC_ARG_ARRAY, AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG): No use 8317 to hide, you are DEFUNCT. 8318 83191999-11-14 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8320 8321 * autoconf.texi (Invoking ifnames): ifnames no longer supports 8322 --macrodir. 8323 83241999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8325 8326 Run the `syntax' test on acgeneral macros too. 8327 Fix the bugs discovered. 8328 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. 8345 83461999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8347 8348 Really install this patch. 8349 8350 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Allow an 8351 optional $2: exit status. 8352 83531999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8354 8355 Check that the AC_DEFINEs from acspecific.m4 do have a template. 8356 Fix the discovered bugs. 8357 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). 8372 83731999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8374 8375 Introduce a means to distinguish failures of `configure' due to 8376 extern software (so that the test suite doesn't fail on them). 8377 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. 8383 83841999-11-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8385 8386 Clean up a bit the handling of the LANG stack. More is needed. 8387 8388 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_CASE): New macro. 8389 (AC_LANG_RESTORE): Use m4_case. 8390 (AC_LINKER_OPTION): Use AC_LANG_CASE. 8391 83921999-11-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8393 8394 * autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): Fixed a typo which 8395 prevented `make distcheck' from succeeding. 8396 * texinfo.tex: Updated for the same reasons. 8397 83981999-11-11 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8399 8400 Introduce a new style of testing, independent from DejaGNU. 8401 8402 8403 Introduce the logistics. 8404 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. 8414 8415 8416 Write tests. 8417 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. 8423 84241999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8425 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! 8431 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. 8446 84471999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8448 8449 * autoconf.sh: Formatting changes. 8450 Removed development junk. 8451 * acspecific.m4: Formatting changes. 8452 * autoconf.m4: Likewise. 8453 * autoheader.m4: Likewise. 8454 84551999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8456 8457 Let Autoconf use autoconf's `--install'. 8458 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. 8465 84661999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8467 8468 Make autoconf support --install. 8469 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. 8475 84761999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8477 8478 Require GNU m4 1.4 (well 1.3 in fact). 8479 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. 8486 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. 8491 84921999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8493 8494 No need for foo="`bar`", foo=`bar` is fine. 8495 Simplify ${foo} and ${1} into $foo and $1. 8496 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. 8505 85061999-11-10 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8507 8508 New version of AC_INCLUDE, which does not glob, nor rely upon the 8509 shell. Add AC_INCLUDES too. Help tracking multiple inclusions. 8510 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. 8520 85211999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8522 8523 * autoheader.sh: No longer rely on a system acconfig.h. 8524 85251999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8526 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). 8530 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. 8535 85361999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8537 8538 Clean up the macros for testing members of aggregates. 8539 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. 8554 85551999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8556 8557 Install a uniform set of default includes. 8558 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. 8563 85641999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8565 8566 * autoheader.m4 (AH_FUNC_ALLOCA, AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, AH_AIX): 8567 Don't leave `[]dnl' in pseudo #-comment (actually CPP directives). 8568 85691999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8570 8571 Fix a bit of the brokenness of AC_CHECK_TYPE. 8572 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. 8585 * autoheader.m4 (AH_CHECK_TYPE, AH_CHECK_TYPES): New macros, 8586 hooked. 8587 * autoconf.texi (@ovar): New macro, for optional variables. 8588 (Generic Typedefs): Document AC_CHECK_TYPES. 8589 * autoheader.texi: (AH_CHECK_TYPE, AH_CHECK_TYPES): New macros. 8590 (Epilogue): Hooks them. 8591 85921999-11-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8593 8594 Update autoupdate. 8595 8596 * acoldnames.m4: Sort the two sections. 8597 * acoldnames.m4 (AM_CYGWIN32, AM_EXEEXT, AM_FUNC_FNMATCH, 8598 AM_FUNC_MKTIME, AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, AM_MINGW32, AM_PROG_INSTALL, 8599 fp_FUNC_FNMATCH): Added their new names. 8600 86011999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8602 8603 Create man pages for the executables. 8604 8605 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `man' and prepend `.' so that 8606 executables be built before help2man is run. 8607 * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add man/Makefile. 8608 AC_MSG_ERROR, not AC_ERROR. 8609 Check for missing help2man. 8610 * man/Makefile.am: New file. 8611 * man/autoconf.x: Likewise. 8612 * man/autoreconf.x: Likewise. 8613 * man/autoheader.x: Likewise. 8614 * man/autoscan.x: Likewise. 8615 * man/autoupdate.x: Likewise. 8616 * man/ifnames.x: Likewise. 8617 * man/common.x: Likewise. 8618 86191999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8620 8621 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Reformating of configure and 8622 config.status --help. 8623 86241999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8625 8626 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Implement `config.status 8627 --file' and `--header'. 8628 86291999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8630 8631 * autoheader.m4 (AH_TEMPLATE): Quote $2 once, now _AC_SH_QUOTE 8632 behaves properly. 8633 86341999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8635 8636 * acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes. 8637 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8638 86391999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8640 8641 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Allow a second argument, 8642 commands to run, as AC_CONFIG_FILES and HEADERS. 8643 (AC_LIST_LINKS_COMMANDS): New growing string. Initialize. 8644 (AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Use it. 8645 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS, AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Don't 8646 pretend to have arguments: you don't depend upon it. 8647 (AC_OUTPUT): Call the previous macros without arguments. 8648 86491999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8650 8651 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM): Don't use define/undefine, but 8652 pushdef/podef.

Clean up the incompatibilities 8665 between quoted and non quoted _AC_ECHO and the like. 8666 8667 * acgeneral.m4: Remove the comments on the no longer defined AC_TR. 8668 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Be robust to active symbols. 8669 (_AC_ECHO): Quote properly the argument. 8670 (AC_TRY_RUN): Don't quote [AC_TRY_RUN] in the warning. 8671 86721999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8673 8674 * acspecific.m4: Formatting changes. 8675 86761999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8677 8678 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_NOTICE, AC_INIT_PREPARE, AC_ARG_ENABLE, 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. 8682 86831999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8684 8685 Fix the compatibility of the compiling macros with C++. 8686 8687 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Use 8688 `int main () {...}', instead of `main () {...}'. 8689 * acspecific.m4 (AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS, AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID, 8690 AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_GETPGRP, AC_FUNC_SETPGRP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, 8691 AC_FUNC_WAIT3, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL, 8692 AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP, AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, 8693 AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE, AC_C_BIGENDIAN, AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): 8694 Likewise. 8695 * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH): Call 8696 AC_CHECK_HEADERS(fnmatch.h), and include fnmatch.h in the compiled 8697 code. 8698 86991999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8700 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 (), [] 8704 etc. 8705 Formatting changes. 8706 * acspecific.m4: Formatting changes. 8707 87081999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8709 8710 Allow standard beta version numbers. 8711 8712 * configure.in: Declare version 2.14a. 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. 8717 87181999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8719 8720 Fix the --version of all the executables. 8721 8722 * Makefile.am (editsh, editpl): Substitute also PACKAGE and 8723 VERSION. 8724 * autoconf.sh (version): New string. 8725 (--version): Use it. 8726 (--help) Output on stdout, not stderr. 8727 * autoheader.sh: Likewise. 8728 * autoreconf.sh: Likewise. 8729 * autoscan.pl: Likewise. 8730 * autoupdate.sh: Likewise. 8731 * ifnames.sh: Likewise. 8732 87331999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8734 8735 Perform a better checking for missing templates in autoheader. 8736 8737 * autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): When hook AC_FOO on AH_FOO, define the 8738 new AC_FOO to be the expansion of both AH_FOO *and* AC_FOO. See 8739 its definition for the motivations. 8740 8741 * autoheader.m4 (AH_FUNC_ALLOCA): Remove the now useless 8742 additional templates. 8743 87441999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8745 8746 Work properly with Automake 1.4. 8747 8748 * Makefile.am (distpkgdataDATA): Replaces dist_pkgdata_DATA. 8749 (nodistpkgdataDATA): Replaces nodist_pkgdata_DATA. 8750 (EXTRA_DIST): Added $(distpkgdataDATA). 8751 (pkgdata_DATA): Adapted. 8752 (AUTOMAKE_OPTION): Require 1.4. 8753 87541999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8755 8756 Fix a bug in templates of AC_CHECK_LIB. 8757 8758 * autoheader.m4 (AH_CHECK_LIB): Template HAVE_LIBFOO, not 8759 HAVE_FOO. 8760 87611999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8762 8763 * acspecific.m4: Formating changes. 8764 87651999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8766 8767 * acgeneral.m4: Formating changes. 8768 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8769 87701999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8771 8772 * Makefile.am (pkgdata_DATA): Split into dist_pkgdata_DATA and 8773 nodist_pkgdata_DATA. 8774 87751999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8776 8777 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): New macro. 8778 * configure.in: Use it. 8779 87801999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8781 8782 Provide a means to specify commands to run before config.status is 8783 created (and, for symmetry, after it is created). 8784 8785 This is typically needed by Automake so that AC_REPLACEd functions 8786 go through deansification via 8787 8788 LIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o /\$U.o /g;s/\.o$/\$U.o/'` 8789 8790 and/or by Libtool which needs to define LTLIBOBJS and others: 8791 8792 LTLIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o/\.lo/g'` 8793 AC_SUBST(LTLIBOBJS) 8794 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. 8802 88031999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8804 8805 Remove spurious empty lines appearing in configures. 8806 8807 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_UNIQUE): Produce no output. Instead of 8808 fighting with dnl, divert to KILL upon entry, and pop at exit. 8809 88101999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8811 8812 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Avoid using double quotes 8813 inside "`...`": some shells parse this incorrectly. 8814 88151999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8816 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. 8820 88211999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8822 8823 * autoconf.m4: Insert -*- Autoconf -*-. 8824 * acgeneral.m4: Likewise. 8825 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8826 * acoldnames.m4: Likewise. 8827 88281999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8829 8830 Create AC_CONFIG_HEADERS which has the same interface as the other 8831 AC_CONFIG_*S. 8832 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. 8842 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. 8846 8847 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When recognizing 8848 arguments, accept only foo, and no longer foo:foo.in etc. 8849 88501999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8851 8852 * acgeneral.m4: Formating changes. 8853 88541999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8855 8856 config.status: Speed up the creation of config headers (about four 8857 times faster on Linux). 8858 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. 8864 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. 8870 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. 8878 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. 8888 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'. 8900 89011999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8902 8903 * acgeneral.m4: Prefer `>file' over `> file' etc. 8904 * acspecific.m4: Likewise. 8905 89061999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8907 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). 8913 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_. 8924 89251999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8926 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. 8931 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. 8936 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. 8941 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. 8949 89501999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8951 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. 8959 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. 8970 89711999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 8972 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). 8977 8978 In addition, check that the same name is never used twice in 8979 config files, headers, subdirs and links. 8980 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. 8990 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. 9000 90011999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9002 9003 * autoconf.sh (Looking for bugs): In addition to AC_, match AH_ 9004 and AM_. 9005 90061999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9007 9008 Provide the m4 infrastructure for defining AH_ hooks. 9009 9010 * autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): New macro. 9011 Hook all the AC_ macros to their AH_siblings in AH_HOOKS. 9012 Run AH_HOOKS. 9013 9014 * acgeneral.m4 (m4_append): New macro. 9015 (m4_list_append, m4_list_add): Removed. 9016 90171999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9018 9019 * acspecific.m4: Formating changes. 9020 * acgeneral.m4: Likewise. 9021 90221999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9023 9024 * acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_CHECK_MEMBERS): New macros. 9025 * autoheader.m4 (AH_CHECK_MEMBERS): New macro. 9026 (epilogue): Hook AH_CHECK_MEMBERS on AC_CHECK_MEMBERS. 9027 90281999-10-31 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9029 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. 9034 90351999-10-31 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com> 9036 9037 * Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): New explicit variable. 9038 (editsh): acdatadir is no longer defined, so use pkgdatadir. 9039 (editpl): Likewise.

From Franc,ois Pinard. 9069 * autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document AC_PROG_CC_STDC. 9070 (C Compiler Characteristics): Document AC_C_PROTOTYPES. 9071 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. 9079 90801999-10-27 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com> 9081 9082 * autoconf.texi (Generic Programs): @defmac for AC_PATH_TOOL may 9083 not span multiple lines. 9084 90851999-10-26 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com> 9086 9087 * INSTALL: Regenerate. 9088 90891999-10-16 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com> 9090 9091 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CXX): gcc is not a C++ compiler. 9092 * autoconf.texi (AC_PROG_CXX): Update documentation. 9093 90941999-10-13 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com> 9095 9096 * acconfig.h: Reintroduce missing definitions due to test suite 9097 regressions. 9098 9099 * autoconf.texi (Configuration Headers): Document the potential 9100 trouble caused by autoheader and boilerplate files. Fix for 9101 PR autoconf/45. 9102 91031999-10-07 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br> 9104 9105 * Makefile.in (dist): Fixed for srcdir != objdir. 9106 91071999-10-07 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9108 9109 * acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT): Reintroduce its 9110 AC_DEFUN. 9111 91121999-10-06 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9113 9114 * acspecific.m4: Various formatting changes. 9115 * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS): Declare main returns an int. 9116 91171999-10-05 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de> 9118 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=\''`"$'. 9123 9124 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Quote single quotes that end 9125 up between single quotes. Protect arguments of echo with double 9126 quotes. 9127 (AC_INIT_PREPARE): Likewise. 9128 (AC_PATH_PROG): Protect argument of test. 9129 (AC_OUTPUT): Quote meta characters in ac_configure_args. 9130 91311999-10-05 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com> 9132 9133 * autoconf.texi (AC_PATH_XTRA): Correctly document the behaviour 9134 when X is not available. 9135 91361999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9137 9138 The sed quoting script depends on the shape of the commands used 9139 by AC_SUBST. The latter was changed, but not the former. 9140 Bug triggered with FOO='%\c' AC_SUBST(FOO). 9141 9142 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Fix the sed quoting script. 9143 91441999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9145 9146 When you rely on the `t' flag of sed for the immediately 9147 preceding substitution, use a combination of `: foo; t foo'. 9148 Bug triggered if you AC_DEFINE(FOO, "%"). 9149 Additionally, work around a bug in IRIX sed. 9150 Suggested by Ken Pizzini. 9151 9152 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Added a label and a test in the 9153 sed code of `$ac_cs_root.hdr'. 9154 91551999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9156 9157 Implement AC_PATH_TOOL. 9158 Submited by Gary V. Vaughan. 9159 9160 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_PATH_TOOL): New macro. 9161 * autoconf.texi (Generic Programs): Document. 9162 91631999-10-05 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9164 9165 Handle arbitrary version numbers. 9166 Reported by H.J. Lu. 9167 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. 9175 91761999-10-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9177 9178 Beware of the expansions of $n in comments. 9179 9180 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT): Changed $1 into $[1] in dnls. 9181 91821999-10-04 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9183 9184 Revert partially the previous changes: AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT is 9185 used by AC_HEADER_DIRENT. 9186 9187 * autoheader.m4: Restablish the hook for AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT. 9188 9189 * acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT): 9190 Reinserted. 9191 91921999-10-02 Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr> 9193 9194 * acgeneral.m4: Instead of just undefining eval, format, include 9195 and shift, rename them to m4_eval, etc. 9196 91971999-10-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9198 9199 AC_DIR_HEADERS is hasbeen'ed. 9200 9201 * acspecific.m4 (AC_DIR_HEADER): Raised from obsolete to hasbeen. 9202 9203 * acspecific.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT): 9204 Removed, were used only by AC_DIR_HEADER and were not documented. 9205 9206 * autoheader.m4: Remove the hooks for AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT. 9207 9208 * autoconf.texi (Particular Headers): Removed the documentation of 9209 AC_DIR_HEADER. 9210 9211 * autoconf.texi (Environment Variables): Remove the very last 9212 traces of documentation of --env-VAR. 9213 92141999-10-02 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9215 9216 Remove hasbeen'ed macros from the documentation. 9217 9218 * autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Document AC_HASBEEN. 9219 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. 9226 92271999-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9228 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 9235 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. 9239 9240 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): New macro. Takes space 9241 separated list of DEST:SOURCES arguments. 9242 9243 * acgeneral.m4: Rename each occurence of AC_LIST_HEADER as 9244 AC_LIST_HEADERS for consistency. 9245 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. 9250 9251 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Adapted to the new scheme of 9252 AC_LIST_LINKS. 9253 9254 * autoconf.texi (Output, AC_OUTPUT): Mention AC_CONFIG_LINKS. 9255 (Invoking config.status): Mention CONFIG_LINKS. 9256 9257 * autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Document AC_CONFIG_LINKS. 9258 Explicit the obsoleteness of AC_LINK_FILES. 9259 92601999-10-01 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9261 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. 9266 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. 9274 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. 9279 9280 * autoheader.m4 (End section): Bind AC_ macros to their 9281 AH_siblings. 9282 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. 9286 9287 * autoheader.sh (options): Added -d, --debug, which does not 9288 remove the temporary files. 9289 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. 9295 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. 9300 9301 * acgeneral.m4: Reordering of the m4 macros which are not specific 9302 to Autoconf. 9303 9304 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_HAVE_LIB): Promoted from obsolete to hasbeen. 9305 9306 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_CPP): Fixed quoting problem, and missing ^ 9307 in patsubst. 9308 (AC_TR_SH): Fixed quoting problem. 9309 93101999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9311 9312 * acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): Don't output an extra space after the 9313 last word. 9314 93151999-09-29 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com> 9316 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. 9321 93221999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9323 9324 * acconfig.h: Commit the change announced below. 9325 93261999-09-29 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9327 9328 * acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Changed from 9329 const charset x; 9330 to 9331 const charset x = {0, 0}; 9332 From Jim Meyering. 9333 93341999-09-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> 9335 9336 Start to get rid of acconfig.h.
