Stefano Lattarini 4f7cc4fe 2013-06-11T21:20:18 lang, suffix rules: don't require C stuff needlessly This change fixes automake bug#14560: when two or more user-defined suffix rules were present in a single Makefile.am, automake would needlessly include definition of some make variables related to C compilation in the generated Makefile.in. * automake.in (handle_languages): Fix logic to decide whether or not to include definitions of C compilation related variables in the generated Makefile.in: instead of doing so when two or more user-defined suffix rules are seen (which is a completely bogus criterion), do so when two or more compiled languages are used. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm (suffix_rules_count): Remove as no longer used. (@EXPORT): Adjust. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): No longer list the test script 'suffix-extra-c-stuff-pr14560.sh', which now passes. * NEWS: Update.

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).

That was not very consistent with the perl interpretation of 0 as a false value and 1 as a true value.

Mike Frysinger 18262668 2013-01-12T00:19:40 ithreads: use runtime (not configure time) detection of perl threads I can't imagine the runtime checks being a big runtime penalty, so there shouldn't be a need to do the checks at configure check and hardcode the result in the generated automake. With the current system, it means if you change your perl config (build perl w/threads, build automake, build perl w/out threads), or deploy a compiled automake package on a different system (build had threads, but deployed system does not), you get errors when trying to run automake. So take the logic from configure.ac and move it to the one place where PERL_THREADS is used (lib/Automake/Config.in) and do the version/config checking at runtime. * bootstrap.sh (PERL_THREADS): Delete assignment and use in sed. * configure.ac (am_cv_prog_PERL_ithreads, PERL_THREADS): Delete all code related to these two variables. * lib/Automake/Config.in (perl_threads): Initialize to 0, and only set to 1 if the perl version is at least 5.007_002, and useithreads is in Config.

Stefano Lattarini 36ee783a 2012-04-03T22:02:55 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.

Stefano Lattarini 7626e632 2012-05-25T17:51:01 cleanup: get rid of 'Automake::Configure_ac' module Now that we unconditionally assume the Autoconf input is named "configure.ac", it's easier and clearer to inline the checks on the existence of such a file directly in the automake and aclocal scripts. This change is basically a backport of the 'v1.12-327-gee6d72a' commit from Automake-NG. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Configure_ac): Drop this import. ($configure_ac): Define to "configure.ac", unconditionally. * automake.in: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini bff57c88 2012-05-25T17:50:59 Drop support for 'configure.in' as the Autoconf input file The autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac' instead. The use of 'configure.in' has been deprecated in Autoconf since at least the 2.13 -> 2.50 transition, and future Autoconf versions (starting with 2.70 probably) will start to warn about it at runtime.

Stefano Lattarini 96497293 2012-06-01T19:15:29 maint: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input It has been years since that has been deprecated in the documentation, in favour of 'configure.ac': Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name configure.in, which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to process this file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight confusion with config.h.in and so on (for which '.in' means "to be processed by configure"). Using configure.ac is now preferred. It's now time to start giving runtime warning about the use of 'configure.in', so that support for it can be removed in future versions of autoconf/automake. See also, in the Autoconf repository, commit 'v2.69-4-g560f16b' of 2012-05-23, "general: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input". * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Issue a warning in the 'obsolete' category if 'configure.in' is detected.

Stefano Lattarini 0fec8df4 2012-05-02T18:15:41 Merge branch 'always-support-silent-rules' * always-support-silent-rules: silent rules: support for them is always active now Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
Stefano Lattarini 14141f25 2012-05-01T14:23:04 silent rules: support for them is always active now Before this change, support for silent rules was optional and activated only if the 'silent-rules' option was specified. The rationale behind that behaviour was that the silent-rules machinery originally only worked with make implementations supporting nested variables expansions, which isn't (or wasn't) a POSIX-specified features; so that packages wanting to be "extra-portable" couldn't use the silent-rules machinery at all. But after Paul Eggert's commit 'v1.11-598-g8493499' of 25-12-2011, "silent-rules: fallback for makes without nested vars" (motivated by automake bugs #9928 and #10237), Makefiles generated when the 'silent-rules' option is enabled can work also with those make implementations that don't support nested variables expansion (albeit the configure-time selected verbosity cannot be overridden at make runtime in such case). In light of that, and since silent rules are disabled by default even when the 'silent-rules' option is given (unless the developer explicitly makes them enabled by default be calling "AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])" in configure.ac), we can now have the support for silent rules always enabled. The 'silent-rules' option will thus become a no-op, but will reaming a valid option for the time being, for better backward-compatibility. A collateral effect of this change is that the use of the 'silent-rules' option will not anymore automatically disable the warnings in the 'portability-recursive' category. The present change is basically a backport of the Automake-NG commit 'v1.11d-75-g61ca923' of 19-04-2012, "[ng] silent rules: support for them is always active now".

See Peter Miller's article "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" for more a more in-depth discussion: <http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/> While in the case of automake this isn't a big problem (given the small size of its build systems), it still creates occasional glitches and annoyances.

Peter Rosin 3a814608 2012-03-07T21:08:06 Merge branch 'msvc' into maint This merge remedies the confusing situation that some changes destined for both the master branch and the release branch (a.k.a. branch-1.11) currently needs to be made on the non-obvious msvc branch and not on the more natural maint branch. This has caused a seemingly endless string of less than optimal commits. The reason for the confusion stems from the fact that the changes made on the msvc branch became too radical and was considered only suitable for the master branch, and was thus written in a form suitable for master and then merged there. Later, the msvc branch was merged directly into branch-1.11, in order to rush the new features to the market and to keep the released scripts (lib/ar-lib, lib/compile and lib/depcomp) consistent with those on the master branch. However, some changes had to be made to the features added by the msvc branch in order for them to fit the requirements of branch-1.11, notably that the warnings issued in the extra-portability class cannot be enabled by -Wall in the 1.11.x maintenance releases. In retrospect, it would have been better to not merge msvc directly into branch-1.11, but instead do it via the maint branch (followed up with a dummy merge from maint into master) the moment it was decided that the msvc changes should make it into branch-1.11. All in all, this merge is going to affect neither the master branch nor branch-1.11, since it is followed up with dummy merges masking all changes. The merge is made to maintain the sanity of the poor developers, who wishes to once again have a working maint branch.

Stefano Lattarini deb77738 2012-02-20T18:33:50 automake: new option 'serial-tests' Currently, automake offers a 'parallel-tests' option to enable the use of the parallel testsuite harness in the generated Makefiles, but no option to explicitly state the intention of using the older serial testsuite driver (which is currently the default). This makes the parallel test harness seems like a second-class citizen (while actually it should be the other way around); more importantly, it will prevent us from making the parallel harness be the default one in future automake versions, since the users of the serial harness would then have no way to instruct automake to continue using it.

Stefano Lattarini 3a7b60b1 2012-01-18T18:42:46 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module
Stefano Lattarini 52246cc7 2012-01-18T17:55:40 cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module With this change, we delegate most of the automake and aclocal code for command-line options parsing to a new module "Automake::Getopt". This allows better code sharing between automake and aclocal, and also with Autoconf, which will sync the new module from us. See also autoconf commit 'v2.68-120-gf4be358' (2012-01-17, "getopt: new Autom4te::Getopt module"), and this mailing list discussion: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2012-01/msg00033.html> This change might interact with the behaviour described in automake bug#7434; for example, starting from now, "automake -Wfoo --version" will cause automake to emit diagnostic like "unknown warning category 'foo'" before actually printing the version number and exiting. This is not a big deal in practice, and the code sharing and simplifications introduced by this patch is certainly worth it. Still, we should revisited the issue in the future. * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm: New module, basically a slightly-edited copy of the 'lib/Autom4te/Getopt.pm' file from the autoconf devel repository (commit v2.68-120-gf4be358).

Add proper "FIXME" comment.
Stefano Lattarini fbeda3da 2012-01-18T12:17:11 tests: move all under the same hierarchy ('tests/' directory) This simplifies the organization of the Automake source tree and reduces the (lamentably high) number of Makefiles in the Automake build system by one. It also makes the maintainer check that verifies the consistency of list of tests more self-contained and simpler. Finally, it might be a first step forward the transition to a non-recursive build system for automake (if we ever decide to go down that road fully some day). * lib/Automake/tests: All the '*.pl' tests in here moved ... * tests/pm: ... into this new directory. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Remove, its meaningful contents moved ... * tests/Makefile.am: ... here, with obvious adjustments. (test_subdirs): New variable, for the sake of the recipe of 'maintainer-check-list-of-tests'. * CheckListOfTests (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Enhance its recipe to make it able to deal with test script residing in subdirectories. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Simplified. (TEST_SUBDIRS): Remove, no more needed. * tests/list-of-tests.mk (perl_TESTS): New variable, lists the '.pl' tests just moved into 'tests/pm'. (handwritten_TESTS): Add the contents of '$(perl_TESTS)'. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Update. * .gitignore: Adjust.

Stefano Lattarini 27f1a1c9 2012-01-16T10:05:59 maintcheck: consistency of list of test scripts This is basically a backport of commit 'v1.11-358-g7b6ab07' and its follow-ups. The possibility of easily checking that the list of test scripts listed in a Makefile equals that of the tests on the filesystem has proved itself so useful that it's worth taking the annoyance of backporting it to maint. * CheckListOfTests.am: New file, backported from master (commit 'v1.11-1736-g083a75b') with minor adjustments. (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): New target, check for consistency between the list of tests defined in the including Makefile and the list of tests on the filesystem. (clean-maintcheck-testslist-tmp): New rule, to clean up temporary files that might be left around by the rules associated with the previous target. (clean-local): Depend on it. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Include `CheckListOfTests.am'. * tests/Makefile.am: Likewise. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-test): New target, calling recursively into `tests/' and `lib/Automake/tests/', using ... (TEST_SUBDIRS): ... this new variable. (maintainer-check): Added dependency from the new target `maintainer-check-list-of-tests'.
Stefano Lattarini 8856653e 2012-01-15T23:08:21 build: improve silencing of automake build system In this change, we continue the silencing of the automake build system that has been started in commit v1.11-642-g17542c3, but which has been left incomplete there for an (absent-mindness) mistake. * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Silence the recipe. (automake, aclocal): Likewise, and improve them a little since we are at it. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini e637fa2a 2011-12-30T15:54:40 dist: obsolete support for lzma (superseded by xz and lzip) The lzma utilities are today superseded by the xz utilities; in fact, the official site at <http://tukaani.org/lzma/> reads: ``LZMA Utils are legacy data compression software with high compression ratio. LZMA Utils are no longer developed, ... Users of LZMA Utils should move to XZ Utils.'' and the existing automake manual (as of 1.11.2) already says: ``dist-xz Generate an 'xz' tar archive of the distribution. xz archives are frequently smaller than bzip2-compressed archives. The 'xz' format will soon (early 2009) displace the 'lzma' format'' Also, the `dist-lzma' target still suffers of never-solved bugs, due to the too-high compression ratio its uses by default, which might cause an unacceptable memory consumption when one tries to compress or, worse, decompress the created tarballs; see also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-12/msg00025.html> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9658> * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Dist, Options): State that `dist-lzma' will go away in the next major automake version. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Deprecate `dist-lzma'. * tests/lzma.test: Update.

Stefano Lattarini e9150626 2011-12-08T22:54:18 repo: don't commit generated files in the git repository anymore It has been quite some time since autoconf and libtool have stopped committing the generated autotools files in their git repositories, with no significant ill effects we're aware of. It's true that the autoconf bootstrap process has now the minor annoyance that a pre-installed autoconf is required to complete it; but luckily automake will not have a similar annoyance, since our bootstrap script take care, through some hoops, to use the very automake and aclocal versions from the current git checkout to generate the required aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files.
