1fa0c24d | 2013-01-10 18:04:33 | depend: refactor and remove code duplication * lib/am/depend2.am: Here. The obsolescent comments removed from this same file in commit 'v1.13.1-42-g8f06bfb' of 2012-01-09, "depend2.am: fix comments on verbosity of compilation rules", gave the rationale for why that code duplication was there in the first place (rationale that, like those comments, has been obsolete by the silent-rules introduction). * bin/automake.in: Given the refactoring in 'depend2.am', there is no longer need to add extra trailing whitespace to the entries of the '%sourceflags' hash (which are used for the '%SOURCEFLAG%' transform when 'depend2.am' is processed. * t/fort2.sh: Adjust to avoid spurious failures.

7299c4d2 | 2013-01-10 19:38:58 | depend: assume we can always pass '-o' to the C compiler This is the case after the change in commit v1.13.1-56-g34001a9 of 2013-01-09 (compile: use 'compile' script when "-c -o" is used with losing compilers). This is just a simplification; no semantic changes are intended. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Drop transform '%-o%', and definitions of '$output_flag'. * lib/am/depend2.am: Adjust to just assume the '?-o?' transform is true, and the '%-o%' transform expands to "-o".

5b40c4e7 | 2013-01-08 14:04:00 | cleanup: having subdir-objects mandatory allow us some simplifications Few minor cleanups made possible by earlier changes, plus other minor cleanups triggered in cascade. No semantic change is intended. This is a follow-up on previous commit 'v1.13.1d-214-g3ad07d2', and an adjusted backport of Automake-NG commit 'v1.12.1-315-gc97d41b' of 2012-06-08 ([ng] cleanup: after enabling of subdir-objects unconditionally). * bin/automake.in (LANG_IGNORE, LANG_SUBDIR): Remove. (handle_languages): Drop the '%DEPBASE%' transform when processing the '$rule_file'. (register_language ('name' => 'vala', ...)): Add '.vapi' to the entry 'extensions', and simplify the entry 'output_extensions' to point to a dummy subroutine (since it wasn't really used anyway). (handle_single_transform): No longer expect the 'lang_*_rewrite' subroutines to return a 'LANG_*' constant, but only a transformed extension, if required. To decide whether further processing of the source file should be stopped, rely on a new set of 'lang_*_ignore' subroutines, defaulting to a subroutine that returns false. Accordingly, don't special case the handling of '.vapi' files anymore, instead rely on ... (lang_vala_ignore, lang_header_ignore): ... these new subroutines to avoid extra processing of C/C++ headers and Vala '.vapi' headers. (lang_java_rewrite): Remove. Remove an outdated comment. * lib/am/depend2.am: Partial rewrite to reduce code duplication and drop use of the '%DEPBASE%' transform. * t/compile_f_c_cxx.sh: Adjust.

20d337a7 | 2013-01-10 19:48:14 | depend: assume '-c' compiler flag always means to produce object files Rather than fully-fledged executables. This is the case for all the compilers of all languages supported by Automake. This is just a simplification; no semantic changes are intended. * bin/automake.in (handle_languages): Drop transform '%-c%'. * lib/am/depend2.am: Adjust to just assume the '%-c%' transform expands to "-c".

020fb48d | 2012-06-06 10:27:46 | subdir-objects: enable unconditionally See automake bug#13378. The fact that Automake-generated Makefiles places compiled object files in the current directory by default, also when the corresponding source file is in a subdirectory, is basically an historical accident, due to the fact that the 'subdir-objects' option had only been introduced in April 1999, starting with commit 'user-dep-gen-branchpoint-56-g88b5959', and never made the default, likely to avoid backwards-compatibility issues. Since we believe the behaviour enabled by the 'subdir-objects' is the only natural and most useful one, we make it the only only one available, simplifying the Automake implementation and APIs a little in the process. This change is basically an adjusted backport of Automake-NG commit 'v1.12.1-313-g14fe163' of 2012-06-07, "[ng] subdir-objects: enable unconditionally". * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Program and Library Variables): The output object files are no longer placed in the current directory by default, but rather in the same directory of the source file. (LIBOBJS): Now the $(LIBOBJS) and $(ALLOCA) variables can also be used outside of the directory where their sources lie. (List of Automake options): Report the 'subdir-objects' option as a no-op, existing only for compatibility with older versions of Automake. Other related minor adjustments. * bin/automake.in (LANG_PROCESS): Remove, it's no longer needed. (handle_languages): Don't test whether option 'subdir-objects' is set (just assume it is), and do not use the '%SUBDIROBJ%' transform when processing '.am' fragments. (lang_sub_obj): Delete, it would just return 'LANG_SUBDIR' unconditionally now. (lang_lex_rewrite): Adjust. Don't test whether the option 'subdir-objects' is set (just assume it is). (lang_yacc_rewrite): Likewise. (handle_single_transform): Likewise. Remove an obsolete comment. Add a proper "FIXME" comments about a fragment of code that might have become dead code now. (handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA): Simplify assuming that the option 'subdir-objects' is always set. Accordingly, there's no need to warn anymore if '$(LIBOBJS)' or '$(ALLOCA)' are used outside the '$config_libobj_dir' directory (as specified by autoconf macro 'AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR'). * lib/am/depend2.am: Assume the '?SUBDIROBJ?' Automake time conditional is always true, and remove its uses accordingly. * t/compile_f_c_cxx.sh: Adjust. * t/cscope.tap: Likewise. * t/depcomp8a.sh: Likewise. * t/depcomp8b.sh: Likewise. * t/libtool3.sh: Likewise. * t/ltlibsrc.sh: Likewise. * t/pr401.sh: Likewise. * t/pr401b.sh: Likewise. * t/pr401c.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj.sh: Likewise. * t/lex-line.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-line.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc5.sh: Likewise. * t/vala-libs.sh: Likewise. * t/fort4.sh: Likewise, and extend a bit. * t/fort5.sh: Likewise. * t/gcj.sh: Likewise. * t/subpkg.sh: Likewise. * t/subpkg-yacc.sh: Likewise. * t/xsource.sh: Likewise. * t/libobj20a.sh: Remove as obsolete. * t/libobj20b.sh: Adjust heading comments. * t/libobj20c.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj4.sh: Remove as obsolete. * t/sourcefile-in-subdir.sh: Likewise.

3c331df4 | 2013-05-13 21:38:46 | Merge branch 'maint' * maint: Use AC_DEFUN_ONCE to define AM_PROG_CC_C_O compile: avoid AC_PROG_CC messy rewrite options: tiny simplification in dealing with incompatible versions | |
 |
c148dc73 | 2013-05-11 11:45:16 | Use AC_DEFUN_ONCE to define AM_PROG_CC_C_O If AM_PROG_CC_C_O is expanded multiple times, and the compiler does not support -c and -o together, each expansion of the macro will prepend the compile script to CC. This can result in the compile script invoking the compile script, which at best pointless and silly. Fortunately, there does not appear to be any serious problems as the first compile invocation strips out -o options, causing subsequent invocations of the script to merely exec their arguments. Other than fixing the above, this should not normally cause any changes to the resulting configure script, except in the (hopefully rare) case where AM_PROG_CC_C_O is directly expanded (i.e., *not* using AC_REQUIRE) in the body of a macro defined with AC_DEFUN. In that case, the use of AC_DEFUN_ONCE may cause the expansion of AM_PROG_CC_C_O to appear earlier in the configure script. * m4/minuso.m4: Change the definition of AM_PROG_CC_C_O to use AC_DEFUN_ONCE, avoiding problems caused by multiple expansions.

32eb770b | 2013-05-11 11:03:41 | compile: avoid AC_PROG_CC messy rewrite Instead, add an hook to AC_OUTPUT to have AM_PROG_CC_C_O invoked automatically. See also the long-winded discussion about automake bug#13378. * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Bring back the old implementation, from commit v1.13.1-55-g1ab8fb6. * m4/init.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Remove this horrible, hacky re-write. * (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Arrange for AM_PROG_CC_C_O to be called if necessary. * t/am-prog-cc-c-o.sh: Adjust to avoid spurious failure. * t/subobj.sh: Likewise.

f233bf8f | 2013-05-11 10:25:33 | options: tiny simplification in dealing with incompatible versions * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Here, when an incompatible version number option is detected, there's no need to call error() with the "uniq_scope => US_GLOBAL" switch. In fact, if the same incompatible version number is specified in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS in both (say) 'Makefile.am' and 'sub/Makefile.am', we want each such erroneous usage reported separately, rather than just the first time it is encountered (as we'd expect to happen when "uniq_scope => US_GLOBAL" is used). Ideally, this change should have been folded into the similar commit 'v1.13.1d-129-gf7ef16f', but we noticed that too late. Oh well. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> | |

d90001e3 | 2013-04-30 22:26:46 | compat: substitute '@mkdir_p@' as '$(MKDIR_P)' unconditionally We had started to do so only when the obsolete AM_PROG_MKDIR_P variable was used, but that has recently turned out not to be not good enough, because Gettext 0.18.2 (the latest one at the moment of writing) is using the modern macro AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in its '*.m4' files, but at the same time is still using the obsolete make variable '$(mkdir_p)' in its Makefile fragments. This has been causing failures in real-world packages bootstrapped with latest Gettext (0.18.2) and with bleeding-edge automake. See for example: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-04/msg00009.html> And the worst things is that those failures have been basically silent and unnoticeable up until the final "make install" --- that is, after the affected package had been bootstrapped, configured and built. Yikes! This issue has been reported to the Gettext developers: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2013-04/msg00044.html> But even if they will quickly fix it, Gettext 0.18.2 will remain affected. The fix we can implement in Automake is small and unobtrusive enough, definitely worth having in order to save the users and developers from having to deal with this hard-to-spot issue. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): AC_SUBST '@mkdir_p@' to '$(MKDIR_P)'. * t/am-prog-mkdir-p.sh: Enhance.

The old implementation of the code descending into $(SUBDIRS) entries used the following snippet to decide whether make is running with the '-k' a.k.a. '--keep-going' option, and thus whether a failure in a subdirectory should prevent the descent in the following ones: fail= failcom='exit 1'; \ for f in x $$MAKEFLAGS; do \ case $$f in \ *=* | --[!k]*);; \ *k*) failcom='fail=yes';; \ esac; \ done It's clear that the second pattern in the 'case' construct could possibly match false positives, for examples in these two cases: make check TESTS="x.test k.test" make -I /usr/local/kool-fragments which are somewhat unusual, but not invalid. So we need a more resilient implementation, as we did for the detection of the '-n' flag. This implementation is now provided by the new private macro '$(am__make_keepgoing)' (introduced in recent commits); so we can just us that to fix the bug. * lib/am/subdirs.am ($(am__recursive_targets)): Use '$(am__make_keepgoing)' instead of ad-hoc and more brittle checks. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove the now-passing test case 't/subdir-keep-going-pr12554.sh'.

edfd3bc4 | 2013-02-17 16:42:46 | tar: format 'ustar' cannot support UID/GID longer than 21 bits See automake bug#8343 and bug#13588. POSIX 1988 'ustar' format is defined with *fixed-size* fields. There is notably a 21 bits limit (2097151) for the UID and the GID. Tom Rini tom_rini@mentor.com says (in bug#8343): When the user has a UID or GID that is larger than the ustar format supports, pax does not error out gracefully in some cases (FC13). Marc Herbert <marc.herbert@intel.com> adds (in bug#8343): When "configure" is run by a user with an UID bigger than 21 bits, BSD pax 3.4 aborts when trying to create the 'conftest.tar' test archive and leaves an empty or corrupted conftest.tar file behind. In the next step, pax tries to extract this incomplete or corrupted archive and this *** hangs the whole ./configure script ***. Note: GNU cpio 2.9 pretends to pass the test but it is a LIE: it silently truncates any big UID to its lower 21 bits. I don't know what can be the consequences of this lie. I think there is currently a design issue in automake/m4/tar.m4 considering that a ustar archive should should *never* succeed when ./configure is run from a big user ID. Months later, Petr Hracek <phracek@redhat.com> reports a similar issue (in bug#13588) for Fedora 17: I am trying to solve problem in case a user is created with big UID and during configuration pax hangs with message ATTENTION! pax archive volume change required. Ready for archive volume: 1 Input archive name or "." to quit pax. Archive name > and needs user interaction. Reference: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843376> Time to fix this issue, on the line of a preliminary patch provided by Petr Hracek in bug#13588. The final patch ended up being remarkably different from that original proposition, though. * m4/tar.m4 (_AM_PROG_TAR): If the UID or GID of the current user is too high (> 2097151), the 'ustar' format cannot work. Adjust checks accordingly. Some related code reordering and clean-up. * t/tar-ustar-id-too-high.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * t/tar.sh: While at it, tweak and enhance a little. * t/tar2.sh: Likewise. * t/tar3.sh: Likewise. * t/tar-override.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Update. * THANKS: Likewise.

Document this limitation. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> |
