felicity, and grammar.
2001-04-11 Steven G. Johnson <
[email protected]>
* doc/autoconf.texi (AC_F77_WRAPPERS): Mention C++ as well as C.
In the example, don't #ifdef F77_FUNC before using it, as that
would push any errors to link-time rather than compile-time; note
that the user can test this to invoke alternative behavior.
2001-04-11 Akim Demaille <

--config-cache/-C option, and recommend instead of --cache-file.
Indent example AC_CACHE_VAL macros for clarity. Add new
"Cache Checkpointing" section for AC_CACHE_SAVE (and
AC_CACHE_LOAD), so that the "Cache Files" section focuses solely
on features visible to end-users (e.g. to better fit the cross
references). Various minor rewordings for clarity, felicity,
and/or grammar.
2001-04-09 Steven G. Johnson <
[email protected]>
* doc/autoconf.texi: Revert to "configure.in" in the history, since

2001-02-28 Akim Demaille <

before creating the debug scripts.
Create a log file.
When ignoring a test, display a reassuring `ok' for stressed
users, and say `skipped' instead.
Simply run `testsuite' with the failed tests instead of running
the debug scripts, this avoids having zillions of banners `Testing
Blabla 2.13' (another means to avoid these banners is to have the
test suite succeed :-).

(AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Use AC_LANG_PROGRAM instead of

whether fseeko and ftello are properly declared.

Set AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE which replaces AC_REQUIRE_CPP.
The main difference is that the former requires AC_LANG_COMPILER.
* aclang (AC_LANG_PREPROC, AC_LANG_PREPROC(C), AC_LANG_PREPROC(C++))
(AC_LANG_PREPROC(Fortran 77), AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE): New

AC_LANG_PREPROC.

AC_LANG_COMPILER(_AC_LANG), rather invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER so that
the generic code in AC_LANG_COMPILER is run.
(AC_REQUIRE_CPP): Use AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE.
(AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Don't require being run before the
corresponding AC_LANG_PREPROC: AC_LANG_COMPILER does it.

AC_REQUIRE_CPP.

(AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Likewise.
(AC_C_STRINGIZE): Yeeks! The body of AC_CACHE_CHECK was not
quoted. Use @%:@ do assist Emacs.
For some reason (don't ask), this revamping revealed that
AC_PROG_CC_STDC, because of the `break', does not clean its tmp
files.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Extract the creation of conftest.c
out of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
Be sure to clean the tmp files.

2000-11-14 Akim Demaille <

it.

AC_TRY_CPP does it.

In order to check that all the CPP symbols which are AC_DEFINE'd

2000-09-12 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
The test suite fails on some hosts because for instance
AC_INIT
AC_CHECK_FUNC(exit)
will not look for a compiler, it will just use `cc'.
Macros that need a compiler should require one.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_REQUIRE): New macro, which is actually the
previous version of AC_REQUIRE plus the possibility to distinguish
the name of the symbol being AC_PROVIDE'd, and the text to expand.

changes revealed the weaknesses of this macro.
2000-09-12 Pavel Roskin <

and checks whether it produces errors or warnings. Don't put grep
output into a variable, use another grep instead.

if the case of an error.
* aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(Fortran 77)):
define AC_LANG_ABBREV to the short language name.
(_AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS): New macro. It checks whether the current
preprocessor can be used to check for existence of headers.
Most code taken from ...
(AC_PROG_CPP): ... here. Use _AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS. Use shell
"for" to find working CPP. Use AC_LANG_PUSH(C) and AC_LANG_POP -
it's a macro for C only.
(AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Rewritten using _AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS.

Recommend Automake as the source of ansi2knr.
(Autoconf Language, Quotation and Nested Macros): English fixes.

an explanation of when m4 expands quotes. Added explanation why
unquoted calls are dangerous.
2000-09-08 Pavel Roskin <

parenthesis in @defmac.
2000-09-06 Morten Eriksen <

which uses $ac_objext hence depends upon _AC_OBJEXT.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Call
_AC_OBJEXT before _AC_EXEEXT since the latter needs $ac_objext.

* acfunctions.m4 (AM_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE, AM_FUNC_FNMATCH,
AM_FUNC_MKTIME, AM_FUNC_OBSTACK, AM_FUNC_STRTOD): Deactivate

these macros, hence when Autoconf reads Automake's definition the
name is expanded with unpredictable results.

literal AWK program that performed the `oline' and quadrigraphs
substitution.
Fix its `oline' computation which was dead wrong when there are
empty lines (i.e., always).
Enhance it in order to look for and report unexpanded macro.
Don't let it pretend there are bugs in Autoconf (c:, the test

user bug.

Currently, AC_PROG_LN_S incorrectly reports yes with DJGPP. This
is because the DJGPP `ln' emulates soft links for executables by
generating a stub that in turn calls the real program. This
feature also works with nonexistent files like in the Unix
spec. So `ln -s X conftestdata' will generate `conftestdata.exe'
which will attempt to call 'X.exe'. But this feature only works
for executables. Fix it.

The options --build etc. used to set `$build'. *If*
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM was run, then the value of `$build' given by
the user was saved into `$build_alias', and `$build' was
normalized using `config.sub'.
Now, let `--build' set `$build_alias' so that scripts with or
without `AC_CANONICAL_BUILD' have the same semantics. This allows
to use `AC_CHECK_TOOL' without requiring `config.guess' and
`config.sub' (which was bizarre anyway).
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): --build, --host and --target
set `build_alias' etc.
After the option handling, set host to $host_alias etc. for
bugward compatibility.

Let `config.status' use a private temp dir.
Suggested by Jim Meyering.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_TMPDIR): New macro.
(_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use it.
Use more quoted here docs to improve readability.
Compute `$me' and use it in the error messages.
Define `$configure' and `$configure_args' to avoid continuously
mixing the uses of `configure' and `config.status' evaluation in a
single line.
Define `$SHELL' and use it.
Simplify all the unjustified `[\$]foo' into `\$foo', the quotes
are needed only for `\$[1]', `\$[@]' etc.
Replace all the uses of `ac_cs_root' with files in the tmp dir of
`config.status'.
Remove a few `rm' covered by the removal of the `$tmp' dir.
Let `config.status' support `--debug'.

AC_CHECK_PROG macro fails if REJECT value is set under Digital
Unix 4.0x and 5.0 because `"$@"' expands into an empty parameter
(instead of nothing) when there are no positional parameters.
From Nicolas Joly.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_CHECK_PROGS): Prefer
`$$1' to `[$]$1', `$foo' to `[$]foo', `$[1]' to `[$]1', and

AH_BOTTOM.
2000-05-03 Nicolas Joly <

* autoheader.sh (config_h): Sort the templates.
Under NetBSD 1.4.1 /bin/sh `set' command does not return a sorted
variables list.
2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* tests/tools.m4 (autoheader): Don't pass `-l at_srcdir' to
`autoheader', since `acconfig.h' is created in the build dir.
There's one empty line less in `config.h.in' than before when
using `acconfig.h'.
2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Simplify the handling of `acconfig.h'.
* autoheader.sh: No longer try to select the needed paragraphs of
`acconfig.h', just dump everything into `config.h.in'.
Implement support for `--warnings'.
Warn the users that these auxiliary files are obsolete when `-W
obsolete'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoheader): Adjust.
2000-05-03 Akim Demaille <

Provide a macro to canonicalize a configuration name.
Suggested by Ralf Corsepius.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICALIZE): New macro.
(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Use it.
Change the defaults for build, host, and target systems:
build defaults to `config.guess`.
host defaults to $build.
target defaults to $host.
Suggested by Mo DeJong, Pavel Roskin, Tom Tromey, Ian Lance
Taylor, and many others.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Set `$build', `$host' and
`$target' to nothing instead of NONE.
(AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): AU_DEFUN'd as `AC_CANONICAL_TARGET'.
(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Use an explicit m4_case to set the defaults
depending upon the THING.
Implement the default values.
(AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Handle the `AC_ARG_PROGRAM' part
`AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM' used to provide.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
When receiving an explicit argument, consider this is a default
for --build, --host and --target (unless set).
Some scripts might still depend on this historical syntax.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Do that.
(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Drop the support of `$nonopt'.
Documenting --build, --host and --target when configure does not
handle them causes confusion.
Suggested by Pavel Roskin.
Nevertheless configure must not die on such an `unsupported'
option: it does happen that people build an entire tree of
packages, some of them expecting `--host' etc. some others not.
Stressed by Tom Tromey and Ian Lance Taylor.
* acgeneral.m4 (HELP_CANON): New diversion.
(_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Don't document these options.
(AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET):

double quotes too.
(_AC_ECHO_UNQUOTED): Don't double quote :).
(_AC_ECHO, _AC_ECHO_N): Quote the call to _AC_SH_QUOTE.
The autoheader chain needs to be adjusted.
* acgeneral.m4 (AH_VERBATIM): Just pass two arguments to AH_OUTPUT
instead of trying to build what `autoheader' needs: let it handle
the format by itself.
* autoheader.m4: Adjust.
s,tmp/config.h,tmp/config.hin.
The adjustment revealed that `autoconf --trace' is not robust to
single quotes in its argument.

mawk suffers a severe performance loss when using `sub' with a
changing value. On the `configure' script of the fileutils:
mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 14s.
mawk '{ if ($0 ~ /foo/) sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 0.03s.
mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo) }' -> 0.03s.
* autoconf.sh (task script, AWK script): Run `sub (__oline__,
oline)' only in the lines that match `__oline__'.
Suggested by Paul Eggert.

2000-04-12 Akim Demaille <

* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Move --srcdir in the first
section.
Document --help=short and recursive.
Split the `Directory' section into `Installation directories' for
--prefix and --exec-prefix, and all the others into `Fine tuning
of the installation directories'.
In the latter, don't repeat `in DIR', the user understands, and it
comes out better.
Default for --exec-prefix is PREFIX.
Reported by Kathryn Hargreaves.
Move --host before --build.
Fix a test on `$ac_init_help' which was not updated.

forbids members named like their hosting struct, so don't do it.
2000-04-11 Akim Demaille <

* autoscan.pl: Reindent using 2 spaces, not 4.
Use `#' to denote Autoconf comments, not `dnl'.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_PROVIDE_IF): Rename as...
(AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE): this. Change all callers.

* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Don't test for existence
of $ac_xdir. Not only is `test -e' not portable, but the test isn't
necessary at all; the following mkdir ends up accomplishing the
same goal. Suggestion from Alexandre Oliva.

to use space, tab and new line, in precisely that order.
2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <

(_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): Name the package you configure
when you want.
(_AC_INIT): Adjust.
* configure.in (AC_PACKAGE): Add.

* acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <

Don't rely on RS = "\0" to swallow the whole input as a single
record, this is not portable: mawk and nawk understand it as RS =

* autoconf.sh (translate_awk::BEGIN): No longer change RS.
(translate_awk::body): Move to the END.
Instead, accumulate the input in `request'.
2000-03-20 Akim Demaille <

`Portable Shell Programming'.
(Shell Substitutions, Limitations of Usual Tools): New subsections.
2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <

Use a single tool to reformat the raw `configure' script output by
m4.

`configure', a single AWK program is enough.
2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <

In Autoconf 2.13, although AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS did double quote its
arguments, AC_OUTPUT arguments 2 and 3 were not! Currently,
AC_OUTPUT over quotes too: stop that.
Reported by Martin Buchholz.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Output): Don't expand on the ternary
AC_OUTPUT.

2000-03-17 Joseph S. Myers <

the temp files in a private temporary directory, not directly in
TMPDIR.
2000-03-17 Akim Demaille <

Install the IFS we need once for all.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT): New macro.

(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Use it, no longer set the NLS envvars.
(_AC_WHICH_A, AC_PATH_PROG): Rely on the default IFS.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES):

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP, AC_EGREP_CPP, AC_TRY_COMPILE,
AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE): Simplify the removal of the

remove them at the end of the macro.
2000-03-16 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use
: ${foo='some words'}

From Nicolas Joly.
2000-03-16 Lars J. Aas <

* libm4.m4 (m4_assert, m4_shiftn): New macros.
(m4_case,m4_match): Rewrite to use m4_shiftn (for readability reasons).
(m4_for): Add the STEP argument and some argument-verifying asserts.
(m4_split): Correct spaces to tabulator in regexp.
2000-03-15 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Revamp AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use a single cache
variable instead of three.
Use AC_CACHE_CHECK.
Shorten the name of the var loops, they are no longer cached.
Include sys/types.h unconditionally.
`select' returns an int, fixes Autoconf/46.
Don't display parens in the user messages.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <

* autoheader.sh: Use run_m4f, not run_m4.
2000-03-14 John David Anglin <
[email protected]>
* tests/actest.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): Don't consider RANDOM and LINENO
which some shells update. At least ksh on HP-UX 10.20 and sh on
IRIX 6.5 do change their `RANDOM' even if `read' via `set'.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <

2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <

* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Kill a changequote in the
building of `ac_configure_args'.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): Rename _AC_DIVERT.
(AC_DIVERT): New macro.
Spread its use where better than a pair of AC_DIVERT_PUSH/POP.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_BINSH): Remove, useless now that...
(AC_REVISION): Require AC_INIT, not _AC_INIT_BINSH.
(AC_INIT): Do what _AC_INIT_BINSH used to.
Don't require _AC_INIT_VERSION, just call it.
Rename as _AC_INIT.
(AC_INIT): New macro, single expansion wrapper around _AC_INIT.
(_AC_COPYRIGHT_SEPARATOR): New.
(AC_COPYRIGHT): Use it.
Require AC_INIT, not _AC_INIT_VERSION.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Versions): Promote as first section of
`Setup'.
Rename as `Notices'.
Document AC_COPYRIGHT.
Don't give false reasons for placing AC_REVISION before AC_INIT,
the place no longer matters.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* autoconf.sh (trace_m4::smash): Double quote, we don't want the
result to be evaluated.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4: s/@%:@line __oline__/#line __oline__/g. __oline__
is not a macro, so there is just no use in avoiding `#'.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When there were no
CONFIG_FILES, we had to expand _AC_OUTPUT_FILES into the KILL
diversion, because it is AC_OUTPUT_FILES which undiverted the
AC_SUBST sed script at its proper place, otherwise it would have
been undiverted at the end of `configure', leading to an sh syntax
error.
Now that we no longer use a diversion, we don't need to call
AC_OUTPUT_FILES if useless.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_FILES.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
AC_ARG_PROGRAM must not be expanded twice, which is likely since
Automake calls it, and usually users do too. If it happens,
`--program-prefix=g' actually prepend two (or more) `g'.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN_ONCE): New macro.
(AC_ARG_PROGRAM): AC_DEFUNed_ONCE. Or is it AC_DEFUN_ONCE'd? :).
No longer AC_EXPAND_ONCE the help string, the macro itself is
expanded at most once.
Rename the here-doc tag EOF_SED as EOF.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Get rid of the ICMDS diversion.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): Remove ICMDS.

(_AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_INIT, _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Adjust.
2000-03-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Introduce AC_SUBST(VAR, VAL).
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Stop global double quoting,
failed experiment.
Merge all the var=val AC_SUBST(var) into AC_SUBST(var, val).
(AC_SUBST): Implement support for 2nd arg.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Adjust.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Simplify the diversions naming system.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva and Lars J. Aas
* libm4.m4 (ifndef): New macro.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): New macro, maps a diversion name to
its value. The diversions now have a short name, e.g., `NOTICE',
instead of the former macros which had long names, e.g.,
`AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE'.
(AC_DIVERT_PUSH): Adjust.
(AC_DIVERT_POP): Use ifndef.
(AC_DIVERSION_CURRENT): Rename as `AC_DIVERT_DIVERSION' to stay
within the `AC_DIVERT' name domain.
Adjust all callers.
* acspecific.m4: Adjust all callers.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoconf): Update documentation of
`autoconf --trace'.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* autoconf.sh (tmpbase): New var. Adjust trap code and other tmp
file names.
(translate_awk::BEGIN): Set RS to "\0" so that the whole file be a
single record.
(translate_awk::trans): Convert from array to function.
(translate_awk::error): New function.
(translate_awk::main action): Implement support for ${sep}@ and
${sep}*. Use trans() and error().
(translate_awk): Don't put space before user functions call, it is
not portable.
Remove trailing `;', this is not C :).
(task trace): Quote `$traces' when you eval it, to protect the
white spaces.
Propagate `translate_awk' failures to `autoconf.sh'.
Translate the quadrigraphs.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Trap on 0 is not executed when `exit' is called without argument.
* autoheader.sh (trap 1 2 13 15): s/exit/exit $?/.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
Remove translate_awk too.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
Handle `--debug'.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
More uniform style in scripts.
* autoheader.sh: s/-eq/=/.
Uniform ordering of variable initializations, option handling.
Don't use quotes where useless (foo=$1, not foo="$1").
Propagate `run_m4' and `run_m4f'.
Use `$0' in --help.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.m4: Small bug: at the end `dnl' is disabled, so use
`m4_dnl'.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
`autoconf --trace': faster.
* autoconf.sh (initialization): New var, new option.
(option loop): When you need an arg, make sure there is one.
(run_m4f): New var, which content is that of the former...
(run_m4): Don't use m4 frozen state files.
Change all callers.
Don't pass AC_LOCALDIR, not documented, and unused.
(task trace): Honor `--verbose' and `--initialization'.
(globally): Send `--verbose' messages in stderr.
Fix random typos.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_BINSH): Removed.
2000-03-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Start revamping `autoconf --trace'.
* autoconf.sh (debug): New var, new option.
Adjust the trap code.
(task trace): Instead of decoding `m4 --trace' with sed, decode it
with m4 itself.
($silent_m4): New file, which disables m4's `errprint'.
($trace_m4): New file. Logistic for the m4 which is in charge of
decoding the traces of the first.
($translate_awk): Transform a user trace request into $trace_m4
code.
2000-03-10 Akim Demaille <

Multiple `-e' to egrep are not portable. On IRIX 6.5 and Solaris
2.5.1 only the last one is honored:
> printf "foo\nbar\n" | egrep -e 'foo' -e 'bar'
bar
> printf "foo\nbar\n" | egrep -e 'bar' -e 'foo'
foo
Reported by Nicolas Joly.
An alternative would have been to use `sed', unfortunately
alternation is not portable.
* tests/actest.m4 (join): New macro.
(AC_ENV_SAVE): Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.
* tests/Makefile.am (EGREP_EXCLUDE): Rename as FILTER_MACROS.
Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.
2000-03-10 Jim Meyering <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TOOL_PREFIX): Correct typos in definition:
add `_' prefix to make the function name match comments and existing
uses. Remove leading prefix from _AC_CANONICAL_HOST.
2000-03-09 Ossama Othman <
[email protected]>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Added some missing
headers if they exist (needed for some missing prototypes) and
corrects the signal handler prototype/definition. The signal
handler prototype is now prepended with an `extern "C"' for C++
compilers since some platforms explicitly require an `extern "C"'
signal handler.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* autoheader.m4 (autoheader::AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Rename as
(autoheader::_AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): to cope with the new name
of the autoconf:: macro.
Fixes autoconf/119, reported by Raja R Harinath.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG, AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS):
Fix quotation problems in DOS path handling.
2000-03-08 Franz Sirl <
[email protected]>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA): Make them C++
safe: include the right headers, cast the allocations etc.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
The argument of AC_COPYRIGHT should be plain text, not an sh
comment.
* libm4.m4 (m4_quote): s/$@/$*/.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Prepend `# ' to the lines that go
on the top of `configure'. Actually, prepend `@%:@ ' so that
there are as many evaluations on both sides.
(_AC_INIT_VERSION): No longer strip `# '.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* tests/Makefile.am (all-local): Remove. It wastes time to have
testsuite rebuilt each time an ac*.m4 file changes. It is enough
to build it for each `make check'.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Leave a diversion exclusively for Copyright notices.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS): New diversion number.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Move definition of `ac_includes_default' from
here...
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): to here.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Play with your diversion yourself, don't let
(AC_INIT): do it for you.
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): New macro.
(AC_INIT): Use it.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <

Provide a means to specify more Copyright information in
`configure'. And after all, it suits to `configure --version' too.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS, AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PREPARE):
New diversion numbers.
(AC_DIVERSION_INIT): Rename as...
(AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): this.
(AC_DIVERT_POP): Instead of going into wild endless loops when
there are more pops than pushes, die with dignity.

(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Move definition of `ac_includes_default' from
here...
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): to here.
(_AC_INIT_NOTICE): Remove.
(AC_INIT): Use it to install Autoconf's Copyright.
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): New macro.
(AC_INIT): Use it.
(AC_PREFIX_DEFAULTS): Dump in AC_DIVERSION_DEFAULTS.
(_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Dump in AC_DIVERSION_INIT_PREPARE.
2000-03-08 Akim Demaille <

We don't need _AC_ARG_*_HELP_PROLOGUE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_EXPAND_ONCE): AC_PROVIDE yourself, in case
there is no AC_DEFUN associated with the text to expand.
(_AC_ARG_ENABLE_HELP_PROLOGUE, _AC_ARG_WITH_HELP_PROLOGUE,

No longer rely on /bin/sh to compose the optional parts of

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERSION_HELP_BEGIN, AC_DIVERSION_HELP_ENABLE,

Support absolute DOS-style paths.
Any character before the colon is accepted because network drives
can be assigned characters outside the [a-zA-Z] range. DOS-style
relative paths (?:foo/bar) are also considered absolute for
Autoconf's purposes since the path '../?:foo/bar' is invalid.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Treat DOS-style paths (?:*') as
absolute.

Reorganized. Because files required by this test were created

AC_CACHE_SAVE, AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, AC_OUTPUT,
_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS, AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS, AC_OUTPUT_FILES,

Honor properly the `#define' config.h.in templates.
Test it.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Rename as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): this. All callers changed.
Don't mess with changequote, just quote properly.
Bug 1. Because of the `#' in `ac_dA', the quotes <<>> were not
removed, and therefore the sed script contained `<<define>>'
instead of `define'. Now that the block is properly quoted, there
is no need to quote `define'.
Bug 2. Once a `#define' substitution performed, we were branching
to the top of the sed script (`t top'). This resulted in an
endless substitution of `#define foo 1' to `#define foo 1'.
Branching is not enough: you also have to fetch the next input
line, i.e., use `t' instead of `t t' in ac_dD, and don't output
`: top' in `config.defines'.
Though it was correct for `#undef' templates, just apply the same
transformation to `ac_uD' and `config.undefs'.
Bug 3. Don't try to preserve what was behind the value in the
template, since on
#define NAME "bar baz"
it leads to
#define NAME 1 baz"
Now `ac_dB' catches everything behind the NAME (making sure there
is at least a space) and `ac_dC' only outputs a space.
* tests/torture.m4: Check that various forms of `#define' header
templates are properly handled.
2000-02-10 Akim Demaille <

Avoid calling `rm' without arguments.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): It is smarter to use a

Hm, actually, no, just don't remove them at all, let the newly

Introduce a concept index, and update a bit the documentation.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Concept Index): New section.
Various entries added.
(Typedefs): Rename as...
(Types): this. Pay attention to not limiting the documentation to
the typedefs.
(Particular Types): Mention the equivalent generic test.
Promote the GNU coding style at various places.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <

Revamp the autoupdate/AC_OBSOLETE chain. All the details are
given in the prologue of acoldnames.m4.
* acgeneral.m4 (Prologue): Enter the `autoconf' name space.
(AU_DEFUN): New macro.
* autoupdate.m4: New file.
Disable the name spaces `autoconf', and `libm4'. Disable libm4.
* Makefile.am: Tuned to support the changes above.
* autoupdate.sh: Model after autoconf.sh.
Can run on several files at once (for instance m4/*.m4).
Don't touch files that are up to date.
Run m4 on autoupdate.m4f instead of playing with sed.
Use AU_DEFUN.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES, AC_ENABLE, AC_WITH): Use AU_DEFUN,
remove the call to AC_OBSOLETE.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CYGWIN32): Likewise.
* acoldnames.m4: Replaced all the definitions via `define' or
`AC_DEFUN' to use `AU_DEFUN'.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Clean up some m4 files.
* acoldnames.m4: Use `#', not `dnl'.
Don't spread `dnl' everywhere, anyway, we are in a divert(-1).
* autoconf.m4: Likewise.
* autoheader.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Clean up autoconf.
* autoconf.sh: Minor reorganizations to clearly separate the
prologue, which is almost common to all the shell scripts of
Autoconf, and the body.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Improve support of name spaces in libm4. Put the m4 builtins
in the `libm4' name space.
* libm4 (m4_changequote, m4_define, m4_defn, m4_dnl, m4_indir,
m4_undefine): Private copies in the global name space. Used by
the name space mechanisms.
(m4_namespace_register): New macro.
(m4_namespace_define): Use it.
(builtin, changequote, defn, dnl, esyscmd, ifdef, ifelse, indir,
patsubst, popdef, pushdef, regexp, undefine, syscmd, sysval): Put
in the `libm4' name space.
(m4_disable, m4_enable): Use the private m4_indir, otherwise once
`libm4' closed, there is no `indir' available, and therefore no
means to reopen a name space.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Output really nothing if AC_INIT was not given. Unconditional
output can be problematic with autoupdate.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_NOTICE): Output ac_includes_default.
(Default includes section): No longer dump ac_includes_default in
AC_DIVERSION_INIT.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* libm4.m4 (m4_namespace_define): Fix a bug: `m4_namespace'
instead of `$1'.
Simplify some excess in quoting.
Use NAMESPACE::MACRONAME instead of `m4_defn(NAMESPACE,
MACRONAME)'.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Adapt autoheader to use libm4's name spaces.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): Removed.
(AH_DEFUN): Define in the `autoheader' name space.
Use only AH_DEFUN to define macros in this file.
(epilogue): No longer run the `AH_HOOKS', enter the `autoheader'
name space.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Clean up a bit the user interface.
* autoconf.sh: Give your name while reporting errors.
Don't spit --help for errors on arguments.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
More temporary files that one can browse when debugging.
Don't ${var}, just $var.
Don't dump --help when the arguments are invalid.
(config_h): Use the empty value instead of `undefined' to check
that it is defined.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Introduce name spaces in libm4.
* libm4.m4 (m4_namespace_push, m4_namespace_pop,
m4_namespace_define, define, m4_disable, m4_enable, m4_rename):
New macros.
(_m4_foreach, _m4_for, m4_wrap): Use m4_define for temporaries.
(m4_split): Don't mess with the quotes.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS, AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Quote
`define'.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Introduction): m4 1.4 is now required.
(Invoking autoconf): A better help on --trace.
(Defining Symbols): Advocate a proper use of the quotes in m4
code, including if the quotes are sometimes useless. It is bad,
very bad not to quote properly, so quote all the examples
properly.
(Cache Files): Use a unary call to define, instead of an empty
$2.
(Using System Type): Watch out TeX wrapping.
(Pretty Help Strings): Don't give too long a snippet of --help.
Promote the coding style of Autoconf. Quote properly.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_PRO): Use AC_PROVIDE instead of defining
yourself. This allows to see everything that is AC_PROVIDEd via
autoconf --trace.
(AC_SPECIALIZE): define'd, not AC_DEFUN'd.
(AC_PROVIDE): Use define with a single arg, instead of an empty $2.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (ac_includes_default): Don't use simple quotes, but
doubles quotes if you want to use \-continuation lines: this is
not recognized by MIPS' sh.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4. Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_CONFIG_LINKS,
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): A space was missing to separate the arguments
of m4_append.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Arrange that config.status creates the file with the AC_SUBSTing
engine only if needed.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Create the sed code only if test
-n "$CONFIG_FILES".
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Promote AC_LANG_CASE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILER, AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC, AC_CHECK_LIB,
AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE, AC_CHECK_FUNC):
Use AC_LANG_CASE instead of ifelse (AC_LANG, ...).
(AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC): Quote the body the the AC_DEFUN (whoa, how
could this survive so long?!?).
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4: Formatting changes.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Use the style we promote.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Header Templates): Promote #if over #ifdef;
and #undef over #define in templates.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST, AC_FUNC_MMAP,
AC_FUNC_SETPGRP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES): Use #if,
not #ifdef and #ifndef, indent CPP directives.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Quote properly AC_SHELL_IFELSE and callers.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_IFELSE): Don't overquote $1.
(AC_VAR_IF_SET, AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_HEADER,
AC_CHECK_DECL, AC_CHECK_FUNC, AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Quote the
first argument of AC_SHELL_IFELSE.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
It seems quite delicate to have AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT insert the
default headers in the INIT section of configure: the reason is
that AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT is called unquoted, and this results in
an un expected behavior. Thanks to Roman V. Shaposhnick for the
details.
The current implementation is not satisfying: the default headers
are defined in the INIT section even if they are not used.
* acgeneral.m4 (Prologue of AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULTS): Dump the
definition of ac_includes_default in the INIT section of
configure.
(AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULTS): Use it.
2000-02-08 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* TODO: Updated.

2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Stay in Autoconf's name space.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Prefixed with 'ac_':
arg, save_arg, i, seen, previous_arg, ld_run_path.
Rename f77_link_output as ac_link_output.
* tests/actest.m4 (AC_ENV_SAVE): Don't note F77, FFLAGS, FLIBS,
G77, f77_case, f77_underscore.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Use `#' for comments instead of `dnl'.

m4_list_append, ifval, ifset, m4_default, m4_case, m4_match,
m4_foreach): Moved from here, to...

2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
AC_CHECK_SIZEOF: Fix a bug, use standard default headers, and
test.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Don't over quote $1, some []
were left in the C code, and had the macro fail.
Use AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Mention default includes. Explain stdio.h
must always be given.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Updated the list of
exceptions.
(AT_CHECK_DEFINES): New macro, to check the content of config.h.
* tests/semantics.m4: All the tests are updated to use
AT_CHECK_DEFINES.
Test AC_CHECK_SIZEOF, AC_CHECK_HEADERS, and AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Give explicit diagnostics when an input file (for config headers;
config files etc.) does not exist.
From Jim Meyering.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES, AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Check for the
existence of source files.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <

* tests/atspecific.m4 (m4_for, m4_foreach): New macros.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Instead of defining an
unused pointer to the type $1, use
if (($1 *) 0) return 0;
to avoid warnings from the compiler.
From Paul Eggert.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT): Include sys/types.h
Reported by Jim Meyering.

* tests/atspecific.m4 (TEST_MACRO): here. Don't test /^AC_INIT/,
nor /^AC_PROG_\(CC\|CXX\|F77\)_\(GNU\|WORKS\)$/: they are already
tried elsewhere.

2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_case): Fixed a typo and a bug: one shift was
missing.
(m4_match): New macro.

2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Don't use FFLAGS_SAVE
but ac_save_FFLAGS.
(AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Don't use foo_bar but ac_foo_bar.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_C_INLINE): Proceed as for AC_C_CONST:
condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
Don't document the autoheader template twice, one is enough.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): don't hook on this guy, but
on...
(AC_CONFIG_HEADERS), since the former is defined on the latter.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): Use the scheme proposed
by Alexandre Oliva for testing the definition of TYPE:
TYPE *foo;
sizeof (TYPE);
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Don't changequote, there is no need
for it. Just quote properly!
condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
AC_REQUIRE AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
Fix slightly the display of the result (formerly the first run
says `none needed', and later, because of the cache `no').
(AC_C_INLINE, AC_C_VOLATILE): AC_REQUIRE AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
* doc/autoconf.texi (AC_C_CONST): Give a few hints on the
motivation for trusting the C++ compilers.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* tests/atgeneral.m4: Updated.
(AT_CASE): new macro.
(AT_CHECK): Use it. Don't changequote for patsubst, there is no
need.
* tests/syntax.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Don't run AC_ARG_VAR.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
Use AT_CASE.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Test that the macros respect the user variable name space.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_THING): define, not AC_DEFUN.
Don't AC_PROVIDE, there is no need.
When calling `config.sub`, also || exit 1, to catch failures from
config.sub.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES): Use ac_val, not val.
(AC_EXEEXT): Use ac_file, not file.
* tests/actest.m4: New file, holding extra Autoconf macros used
during the testing.
(AC_ENV_SAVE): New macro, save the sh variables in a file.
* tests/suite.m4 (AT_TEST_MACRO, Generation of configure.in):
include actest.m4, and call twice AC_ENV_SAVE to compare the
variables before and after the macro.
* tests/Makefile.am (macro.m4): Don't test macros that are
required: they will be tested somewhere else.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4(AC_CONFIG_PRE_COMMANDS, AC_CONFIG_POST_COMMANDS):
Rename as AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE, AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_POST. All
dependencies changed.

* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
2000-02-07 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Start a new series of tests which check the semantics.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_MEMBER): It is not smart to define
ac_Foo, and use AC_Foo. Got rid of AC_Member_Aggregate and
AC_Member_Member which were complicating more than simplifying.
(AC_CHECK_DECLS): Use m4 lists.
(AC_CHECK_TYPES): A comma was missing.
* autoheader.m4: (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Use m4 lists.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Declarations): AC_CHECK_DELCS uses m4
lists.
* tests/semantics.m4: New file. Collection of semantical tests:
verify that the tests are positive and negative when appropriate.

2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Hide AH_HOOK behind AH_DEFUN.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_DEFUN): New macro. Combination of define and
AH_HOOK.
(AC_TRY_RUN, AC_DEFINE, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED, AC_CHECK_LIB,
AC_CHECK_HEADERS, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT, AC_CHECK_DECLS,

AC_CHECK_TYPE, AC_FUNC_ALLOCA, AC_CHECK_TYPES, AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED,
AC_AIX, AC_F77_WRAPPERS, AC_CONFIG_HEADER): All the former calls
to define and AH_HOOK in autoheader.m4 are replaced by AH_DEFUN.
2000-02-04 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* acspecific.m4 (AC_RSH, AC_ARG_ARRAY, AC_HAVE_POUNDBANG): No use
to hide, you are DEFUNCT.
1999-11-14 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
* autoconf.texi (Invoking ifnames): ifnames no longer supports
--macrodir.
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Run the `syntax' test on acgeneral macros too.
Fix the bugs discovered.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_THING): Quote the
AC_REQUIRE([AC_CANONICAL_HOST]). Bug triggered by the use of
AC_CANONICAL_BUILD alone in configure.in. Also, quote the
arguments of macros (eg, ifelse([$1]...), not ifelse($1...)).
(m4_case): New macro.
(AC_LINKER_OPTION): Don't clash with user's name space
(s/i/ac_link_opt).
(AC_LIST_MEMBER_OF). You mean AC_FATAL, not AC_MSG_ERROR.
Quote properly the argument.
dnl out the empty lines that result from m4 pure code.
Don't pollute the user name space.
Use AC_SHELL_IFELSE.
(AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): Don't use `test -o'. There are still
name space problems.
* tests/Makefile.am (macros.m4): Also fetch the macros from
acgeneral.m4.
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Really install this patch.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Allow an
optional $2: exit status.
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Check that the AC_DEFINEs from acspecific.m4 do have a template.
Fix the discovered bugs.
* tests/atgeneral.m4 (AT_CHECK): Don't just exit 1 when you want
to propagate the failure of a test: exit with the same exit
status, at least to preserve 77 (=ignore).
* tests/syntax.m4 (TEST_MACRO): Run also autoheader. Don't run
this test on all the macros, some just cannot run without
arguments.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): In the if egrep/fi for
#define templates, add a `:' to prevent syntax errors in
config.status when there are no AC_DEFINE performed.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_TEMPLATE): Don't use _AC_SH_QUOTE here, use it
in...
(AH_VERBATIM): here. Now AH_C_UNSIGNED_CHAR is no longer failing
(formerly it would produce a non backslashed backquote, which
made sh choke).
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Introduce a means to distinguish failures of `configure' due to
extern software (so that the test suite doesn't fail on them).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_ERROR, AC_MSG_ERROR_UNQUOTED): Allow an
optional $2: exit status.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Document.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, PROG_CXX_WORKS,
AC_PROG_F77_WORKS): Exit 77 if the compiler does not work.
1999-11-13 Akim Demaille <

Clean up a bit the handling of the LANG stack. More is needed.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LANG_CASE): New macro.

1999-11-11 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Introduce a new style of testing, independent from DejaGNU.
Introduce the logistics.
* configure.in: Initialize AT, and output tests/atconfig, and
tests/Makefile.
* m4/atconfig.m4: New file.
* m4/Makefile.am: Adjusted.
* aclocal.m4: Include atconfig.m4.
* Makefile.am: Adjusted.
* tests/Makefile.am: New file.
* tests/atgeneral.m4: Likewise.
* tests/atconfig.in: Likewise.
Write tests.
* tests/syntax.m4: New file, in charge of checking the validity of
the sh code produced by the macros defined in acspecific.m4.
acgeneral.m4 is not checked here, because these macros require
arguments.
* tests/suite.m4: New file. Run syntax.m4.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
A test suite will be introduced which tries to run all the
specific macros, but hasbeen'd macro make configure die with bad
exit status. So we wish to distinguish live macros from defunct
macros at the moment they are AC_DEFUN'd, not in their body. Hm,
defunct, defunct... Hey! That's a good name!
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUNCT): New macro, comparable to AC_DEFUN,
but for macros which are no longer defined. Replaces AC_HASBEEN.
(AC_HASBEEN): Defunct. Well, removed in fact.
(AC_HAVE_LIBRARY): Don't use AC_DEFUN and AC_HASBEEN, just
AC_DEFUNCT.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_UNISTD_H, AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H, AC_DIR_HEADER,
AC_INT_16_BITS, AC_LONG_64_BITS): Likewise.
(AC_XENIX_DIR): It was defunct even before I declared it was: was
depending upon AC_DIR_HEADER which is defunct. So AC_DEFUNCT'ed
now.
(AC_DYNIX_SEQ, AC_IRIX_SUN, AC_SCO_INTL): While we're here, you
too are defunct now.
* autoconf.texi (Obsolete Macros): Replace the documentation of
AC_HASBEEN with that of AC_DEFUNCT.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <

* autoconf.sh: Formatting changes.
Removed development junk.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.

* aclocal.m4: Include them.
* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Added m4/Makefile.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Make autoconf support --install.
* autoconf.sh (task install): New task. Extract the set of
auxiliary m4 files a configure.in depends upon. Install links
from library files to the local dir so that the packages depends
only on local extensions. Check that the user includes exactly
the files she needs.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
Require GNU m4 1.4 (well 1.3 in fact).
Because we are ready to handle the case where there are no frozen
files, we *have* to pass a -I, which is dangerous in conjunction
with the silent including of `aclocal.m4': you may include things
that were not expected. Since anyway handling pre 1.3 complicates
the task, just require an m4 which supports reloading of frozen
files.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): Check for --reload.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* configure.in: Explicitly state the m4 version you want.
1999-11-10 Akim Demaille <
[email protected]>
No need for foo="`bar`", foo=`bar` is fine.
Simplify ${foo} and ${1} into $foo and $1.
* acgeneral.m4 (ac_LF_and_DOT): Remove the double quotes.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O): Likewise.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.

AC_MACRODIR, since ifnames is not related to macros in anyway.

[email protected]>
Fix a bit of the brokenness of AC_CHECK_TYPE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL): New macro, inspired from
the former AC_CHECK_TYPE. This macro is exactly the one that
ought to be named AC_CHECK_TYPE: it just checks, and executes user
actions. In the future, this macro ought to be renamed
AC_CHECK_TYPE.
There is a big difference with the former AC_CHECK_TYPE: instead
of grepping in the headers, it tries to compile a variable
declaration. This is both safer, slower, and better, since now we
can check for compiler types (e.g., unsigned long long).
(AC_CHECK_TYPES): The looping and AC_DEFINEing version of the
previous macro. Uses m4 loops.
(AC_CHECK_TYPE): Reimplemented on top of AC_CHECK_TYPE_INTERNAL.

Provide a means to specify commands to run before config.status is

This is typically needed by Automake so that AC_REPLACEd functions
go through deansification via
LIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS | sed 's/\.o /\$U.o /g;s/\.o$/\$U.o/'`

config.status: Speed up the creation of config headers (about four
times faster on Linux).
The previous scheme had three sed commands for each AC_DEFINE: one
for #define templates, and two for #undef templates (with or
without trailing spaces). Divide this in three sed scripts
instead: a one liner that removes the trailing spaces, one for
#defines, and then the last for #undef.
The real speed up comes from the fact that the #define script
starts by checkin if the current input line has a #define, and if
not the script immediately goes to the next line, without running
the rest of the script as was the case before. Equally for the
#undef script.
Note that this way, users that don't use #define templates don't
pay too much the overhead, since the sed script `realizes' quickly
there are no #define lines. My test case runs in 0.32s with
#define templates, and 0.24s without. To improve this common
case, the whole code for #define templates is conditionalized by a
proper egrep call. The result runs is 0.24s, i.e., almost no cost
at all.
I made one dangerous change that I carefully evaluated before
commiting: the sed scripts are cut at 48 lines instead of 12 as
before. This produces here docs of about 4Kb. I checked many
`configure's and they all have big here documents, much bigger
than the 12 lines (for instance AC_FUNC_MMAP produces a 150 lines
long, 3800+ character here document). So I moved to the well
known HP UX sed limitations: no more than 100 commands, and there
are two commands per line now, plus a two command preamble. The
speed up is noticeable.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Remove the ac_e
family.
Changed ac_uD and ac_dD to `...;t t', instead of `...g'.
Instead of creating `conftest.vals' with both ac_e, ac_d,
and ac_u family, preprocess to strip the trailing spaces, and
create `conftest.defines' with the ac_d family, and then
`conftest.undefs' for the ac_e family.
Break up both `conftest.defines' and `conftest.undefs'. Insert a
top label and a global test for `#defines' and `#undef' before.
Call `conftest.defines' if there are #define in the input.
Call `conftest.undefs'.

Rename the family AC_NEED_DECL as AC_CHECK: it is more uniform,
but keep defining NEED_FOO_DECL when `foo' is not declared. Files
not using Autoconf behave better when declarations lacks than when
they are wrong. So the unset position should off, hence #if NEEDS
instead of #if !HAVE (which is triggered when HAVE is not set).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_NEED_DECL): Rename as...

IF-FOUND, IF-NOT-FOUND.

Make the handling of the configuration links (AC_LINK_FILES)
exactly the same as that of configurations files (AC_OUTPUT_FILES)
and headers (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS). As a result, it is sane to run
./config.status src/libmy_lib
or
CONFIG_LINKS=src/lib_mylib:lib/lib_mylib ./config.status
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Use AC_FATAL to diagnose bad
number of argument.
Obsoleted (but implemented) in favor of AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): New macro. Takes space
separated list of DEST:SOURCES arguments.

Moving most of the task of creating config.h.in from sh to m4.
Getting rid of acconfig.h by supply a major new family of macros:
AH_* which make it possible to insert arbitrary text into
config.h.in.
* autoheader.m4: Major rewrite: introduction of a set of macros
AH_ that produce code into config.h.in. There are two sets of
macros: generic macros, or specialized, documented below. The
basic idea is that an AC_FOO macro which needs an entry in
config.h.in should have a sibling AH_FOO which expands into that
entry. In a near future, these macros will be moved next to their
siblings.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_VERBATIM, AH_DEFINE, AH_DEFINE, AH_NEED_DECLS,
AH_CHECK_SIZEOF, AH_CHECK_FUNCS, AH_CHECK_HEADERS,
AH_CHECK_HEADERS, AH_CHECK_LIB, AH_PROG_LEX, AH_FUNC_ALLOCA,
AH_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED, AH_AIX, AH_F77_WRAPPERS): New macros.
* autoheader.m4 (End section): Bind AC_ macros to their
AH_siblings.
* autoheader.sh: Remove the sections in charge of SYMS, TYPES,
FUNCS, HEADERS, LIBS and DECLS: autoheader.m4 is now in charge of
these.
* autoheader.sh (options): Added -d, --debug, which does not
remove the temporary files.
* autoheader.sh: Instead of redirecting stdout to the output
stream, always output to a temporary file. This allows to change
slightly the consistency check: before autoheader would check that
each non documented AC_DEFINE is templated in an acconfig. Now it
just checks whether the template is in the output file.
* acconfig.h: Completely emptied, the remaining templates
(_ALL_SOURCE, __CHAR_UNSIGNED__, F77_FUNC, F77_FUNC_,
HAVE_STRINGIZE, and STACK_DIRECTION) are now either associated to
their AC_DEFINE, or to one of the new AH_ macros.
* acgeneral.m4: Reordering of the m4 macros which are not specific
to Autoconf.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HAVE_LIB): Promoted from obsolete to hasbeen.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_CPP): Fixed quoting problem, and missing ^

The previous patch to make config.status reentrant was wrong,

* autoreconf.sh: Do the right thing when AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
given more than one filename. As noted in the "Invoking
autoheader" node of the info files, autoheader will use the first

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_LINK): Make the final
newline consistent with the other AC_TRY_* macros: no final dnl
is needed to avoid extraneous blank lines.
(AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_HAVE_LIBRARY, AC_COMPILE_CHECK): Remove
extraneous dnl's.
(AC_DIVERSION_CMDS, AC_DIVERSION_ICMDS): New macros.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Move initialization of
ac_max_here_lines here from AC_OUTPUT_HEADER.
* autoheader.sh: Take the multiple-include protection back out.
It's not needed for a file that just #defines stuff, and, as Ken
Raeburn pointed out in Apr 1994:
Since you don't make it optional, and you don't give the writer of
configure.in much control over the name of the symbol, it also would
prevent one "config.h" file in a subdirectory from including
"../config.h" as a way to avoid duplicating some common tests.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS): Don't try
running a program, just try linking.
(AC_C_CROSS): Make the wording clearer.
Wed Nov 13 10:07:14 1996 David J MacKenzie <

compiler works before checking whether it's a GNU compiler.

of CC doesn't get eval'd correctly to actually work.
Directly test whether a space is needed after -R.
Don't add "-L" to LDFLAGS if $x_libraries is empty.
(AC_FUNC_STRFTIME): Check for it in -lintl only if it's not in the
normal libraries.
* Test release 2.10.3.

Tromey.
(check): Depend on dejacheck.

These macros don't change the linkage options.

of -O. Suggested by
[email protected] (Fred Fish).

AC_CONFIG_HEADER a value containing shell variables. Suggested by
Markku Savela and Julian Onions.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_RUN_NATIVE, AC_TRY_LINK, AC_TRY_COMPILE,
AC_TRY_CPP): Show the test program in config.log if the test fails.

[email protected]>

compilers that know that an unused function doesn't have to be
linked in: call the function directly from main().
(Removing a legacy from when they tried to run the code, I think-djm.)
From
[email protected] (Fred Fish).
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Rename ac_save_LIBS to avoid
a clash with AC_CHECK_LIB.
From Jim Meyering.
(AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3,
AC_FUNC_STRCOLL, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Rename cache variables to avoid
wrong results if someone calls AC_CHECK_FUNC for these functions.
* autoheader.sh: Don't cmp with config.h.in if it doesn't exist yet.
Don't frob lines 1-@TOP@ or @BOTTOM@-end of acconfig.h's.
Accept TAB as well as SPC after #undef in acconfig.h's.

format. From Marcus Daniels.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_MSG_CHECKING, AC_CHECKING): Write a message to
config.log also. From T.E.Dickey.
(AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Replace use of
tr with sed, to avoid a bug in the AIX 4.1.3.0 tr reported by
Alain Knaff. He says that version of tr interprets \055 as a
range specifier, like an unquoted -.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT,
AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Ditto.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETPGRP): New macro.

Wed Mar 20 09:37:31 1996 Roland McGrath <
[email protected]>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Use \055 for -; leading and trailing
both lose with some tr.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_C_CONST): Remove check for gcc 2.7 bug.
RMS wants everyone to lose until gcc is fixed.
