8f06bfba | 2013-01-09 22:17:53 | depend2.am: fix comments on verbosity of compilation rules The situation and decisions described on those comments have become quite outdated since the introduction of the silent-rules support. Today, the general idea is to have nice, terse output if silent rules are enabled, and complete, faithful, very verbose output if they are not -- without trying to "massage" this verbose output in a more pleasant form if that would cause complication in the affected code. So it's better to just drop the obsolescent comments. Note that we don't start simplifying the existing rules according to this new philosophy; that will only be done when touching some existing code (for the 'depend2.am' code, that will probably happen on the master branch).

This reverts a botched edit done (by myself, oops) in commit 'v1.11-1335-gefdc3e1' of 2011-09-11, "tests: minor optimizations/simplifications in some aclocal tests", and makes the behaviour of the test match once again what is stated in the heading comments.

744cd575 | 2013-01-08 20:19:04 | coverage: compile rules used "-c -o" also with losing compilers If the 'subdir-objects' option is used, Automake-generated rules for C compilation pass both the "-c" and "-o" options to the C compiler, *unconditionally*. There are some compilers that choke on such an usage, but the AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro takes care of them (it does so by redefining $CC to use the Automake-provided 'compile' wrapper script automatically, if a losing compiler is detected at configure runtime). Unfortunately, in case the 'subdir-objects' option is specified in a Makefile.am, but all the source files resided anyway in the top-level directory (relative to the Makefile.am), Automake do *not* complain if AM_PROG_CC_C_O wasn't invoked in 'configure.ac' -- all the while still passing "-c -o" to the compiler invocations. This could cause compilation failures with losing compilers if the user forget to call AM_PROG_CC_C_O in 'configure.ac' (and Automake would not warn him of the issue). Expose this bug in the testsuite. Issue identified by Nick Bowler in the discussion on automake bug#13378: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13378#35> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13378#44> * t/ccnoco4.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS, handwritten_TESTS): List it.

5fdf7587 | 2013-01-03 12:03:37 | plans: add the "PLANS" directory Individual files or sub-directories about future and on-going development plans in Automake will be added in follow-up commits. This new set of documents is meant to help ensure a more controlled and smooth development and evolution for Automake, in several ways. - Having the plans clearly spelled out should will avoid messy roadmaps with no clear way forward or with muddy or ill-defined aims or purposes; a trap this is too easy to fall into. - Keeping planned changes cooking and re-hashed for a while should ensure rough edges are smoothed up, transitions are planned in a proper way (hopefully avoiding debacles like the AM_MKDIR_PROG_P deprecation and the AM_CONFIG_HEADER too-abrupt removal), and "power users" have more chances of getting informed in due time, thus having all the time to prepare for the changes or raise objections against them. - Having the plans clearly stated and registered in a "centralized" location should make it more difficult to them to slip through the cracks, getting forgotten or (worse) only half-implemented. - Even for discussions and plans registered on the Bug Tracker as well, a corresponding entry in the PLANS directory can help in keeping main ideas summarized, and consensus and/or objections registered and easily compared. Motivation: <http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2013/01/autotools-mythbuster-automake-pains> Not a flatting picture for us (and maybe a little too harsh), but basically true and even spot-on in some regards. * PLANS/README: New. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the whole PLANS directory.

1c48cbe0 | 2013-01-01 23:06:36 | docs: re-introduce mention of two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation Albeit obsolescent and raising warnings in the 'obsolete' category, that usage is still supported, and will need to be until Autoconf improves its handling of configure-time-generated package version numbers. So it's better to explicitly document it again, stating that it is obsoleted but still working (and why), rather then leaving it as Yet Another Undocumented Feature (that will mysteriously and suddenly break some random day in the future). It's worth giving some background about how we ended up in the situation that this patch fixes. We had originally removed support for the long-deprecated two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation (see commit v1.12-67-ge186355). Before that removal could land in a released Automake version, Bob Friesenhahn made a quite compelling point that the two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation could still be useful for modern, maintained packages like GraphicsMagick, at least until Autoconf is fixed to offer better support for "dynamic" package versions (see commit v1.12.2-245-g2abe183 for more in-depth rationales and references). However, in that commit we didn't revert the removal of the *documentation* for this two-arguments AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation (and no rationale for not doing so was given in the commit message). Time to remedy that.

c1a8f562 | 2013-01-02 00:33:42 | texi: deprecate hack about info files in CLEANFILES variables For quite a long time, Automake has been implementing an undocumented hack which ensured that '.info' files which appeared to be cleaned (by e.g. being listed in the CLEANFILES or DISTCLEANFILES variables) were built in the builddir rather than in the srcdir; this hack was introduced to ensure better backward-compatibility with packages such as Texinfo, which did things like: info_TEXINFOS = texinfo.txi info-stnd.texi info.texi DISTCLEANFILES = texinfo texinfo-* info*.info* # Do not create info files for distribution. dist-info: @: in order not to distribute .info files. Now that we have the 'info-in-builddir' option that explicitly causes generated '.info' files to be placed in the builddir, this hack should be longer necessary, so we deprecate it with runtime warnings. It is scheduled to be removed altogether in Automake 1.14. * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): Raise proper runtime warnings if the hack is triggered. * NEWS: Update. * t/txinfo28.sh: Adjust. * t/txinfo23.sh: Likewise. * t/txinfo25.sh: Adjust and extend. * t/txinfo24.sh: Likewise.

36ee783a | 2012-04-03 22:02:55 | texi: info files can be generated in the builddir User can now ask info files to be built in the $(builddir), rather than the $(srcdir), by specifying the Automake option 'info-in-builddir'. This feature was requested by the developers of GCC, GDB, GNU binutils and the GNU bfd library. See the extensive discussion about automake bug#11034 for more details. OK, to be honest, having '.info' files built in the builddir was *already* possible, but only using ugly and undocumented hacks involving definition of the CLEANFILES and/or DISTCLEANFILES. For example, the binutils project did something like this in the relevant 'Makefile.am': # Automake 1.9 will only build info files in the objdir if they are # mentioned in DISTCLEANFILES. It doesn't have to be unconditional, # though, so we use a bogus condition. if GENINSRC_NEVER DISTCLEANFILES = binutils.info endif See also the extensive discussion about automake bug#11034; in particular, the following messages: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11034#65> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11034#80> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11034#86> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11034#101> * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_is_valid_easy_option): Recognize the new 'info-in-builddir' option. * automake.in (handle_texinfo_helper): If that option is set, initialize '$insrc' to '0', so that info files will be generated in the builddir.

f87ce5b0 | 2013-01-01 01:20:49 | tests: don't always look for a C++ compiler named 'RCC' On MacOS X (10.8), since the file system is case-insensitive, RCC can point to the "Resource Compiler" of the Qt4 Toolkit: <http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.2/rcc.html> That mismatch causes our configure script to erroneously think that no working C++ compiler is present, and that is thus necessary to skip all the test cases requiring such a compiler. So only look for a compiler named 'RCC' if the file system is case-sensible. Issue spotted analyzing the testsuite logs reported in bug#13317. * configure.ac: Adjust.

9c07d892 | 2012-12-30 11:04:39 | obsolete: better error message if AM_PROG_CC_STDC is used In Automake 1.13, the long-deprecated (since 2002) macro AM_PROG_CC_STDC has been removed. Such a removal, albeit sensible and justified, was probably done in a too-abrupt way, since it didn't turn the pre-existing warning messages into fatal error messages, but simply dropped the macro definition, so that remaining usages of it would cause unclear error messages, e.g.: configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_PROG_CC_STDC' not found in library from aclocal, and: configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. from autoconf. In an attempt to mitigate this issue, we re-add an AM_PROG_CC_STDC definition that simply raises a *clear* error message when the macro is used. * t/am-prog-cc-stdc-no-more.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * m4/obsolete-err.m4: Add the new "error-raising" definition for AM_PROG_CC_STDC; the error message is a variation of the one already present in the older version of this macro, before it got removed in commit 'v1.12-15-gd2ca168'. * NEWS: Update.

8e921bf8 | 2012-12-30 10:33:23 | obsolete: better error message if AM_CONFIG_HEADER is used In Automake 1.13, the long-deprecated macro AM_CONFIG_HEADER (deprecated since 2002) has been removed in favour of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS. However, the removal was done without a proper deprecation period, and that caused packages upgrading to Automake 1.13 to fail with very unclear error messages, e.g.: configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER' not found in library from aclocal, and: configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

27eb4254 | 2012-12-19 14:51:58 | ylwrap: various fixes Rename properly header guards in generated header files, instead of leaving Y_TAB_H. Convert header guards in implementation files. Because ylwrap failed to rename properly #include in the implementation files, current versions of Bison (e.g., 2.7) duplicate the generated header file in the implementation file. The header guard then protects the implementation file from duplicate definitions from the header file. Generate header guards with a single '_' for series of non alphabetic characters, instead of several. This is what Bison does. Makes the test t/yacc-d-basic.sh pass again. * lib/ylwrap (guard): Properly honor $1 to rename properly the header guards. Keep a single _ instead of several. (rename_sed): Rename as... (sed_fix_filenames): this. Suggested by Stefano Lattarini. (sed_fix_header_guards): New. Use it. | |
