cd1a9ccc	2010-10-05T17:14:00	aclocal: deprecate ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, trace AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR instead Maintaining ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in the Makefile.am to pass extra flags to aclocal is (and have always been) quite of an hack. For example, autoreconf is forced to grep Makefile.am to honour those flags. But this is a bad obsolescent behaviour; in fact, the autotools have moved consistently in the past years from custom grepping of Makefile.am and configure.ac to tracing of m4 macro calls, which is more consistent, more reliable and more flexible. And when autoreconf is not used, the developer is forced to add by hand the flags specified by ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to the aclocal calls not triggered by make rebuild rules; here lie again more duplication and more chances for errors. Moreover, ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS has only two typical use cases: - to instruct aclocal to look for extra macro definition in a local directory (as with "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4"); and - to further instruct aclocal to copy in that local directory the required third-party .m4 files found in the system-wide directory (as with "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 --install"). The first use case can be better covered if aclocal can instead trace and honours call to the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR autoconf macro; and the second use case shouldn't be considered really legitimate, as it is quite (and subtly) brittle (see automake bug#9037). Thus we now make aclocal trace AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR macro, and act accordingly. For backward compatibility, we continue to support the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS special variable (although removing any mention of it from the documentation). Future Automake releases will likely start to warn about the use of that variable, and eventually remove support for it altogether. From a suggestion by Eric Blake. This is a much simplified (and IMHO saner) version of the patch series discussed in the threads: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-10/msg00045.html> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-12/msg00156.html> * aclocal.in ($ac_config_macro_dir): New global variable. (trace_used_macros): Also trace the macro 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR', and set the '$ac_config_macro_dir' variable accordingly. (parse_arguments): Code for diagnosis of '--install' used without any user-specified include directory moved ... (while (1)): .. into the main loop. Which now also updates the list of user-specified include directories to include the directory given as argument to the call (if any) of 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR'. * lib/am/configure.am: Update comments. * NEWS: Updated. * doc/automake.texi: Likewise. Also, stop advising the use of the '--install' in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS (see automake bug#9037 for a rationale), and remove any reference to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS (which is now considered obsolescent). * t/aclocal-path-install.sh: Adjust grepping check in the aclocal error messages. * t/subpkg.sh: Updated: add 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR' call to configure.ac, remove setting of 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' in Makefile.am and use of aclocal command line arguments. * t/subpkg2.sh: Likewise. * t/subdir8.sh: Likewise. * t/remake10c.sh: Likewise. * t/remake8a.sh: Likewise. * t/remake8b.sh: Likewise. * t/aclocal4.sh: Likewise. * t/aclocal6.sh: Likewise. * t/acloca14.sh: Likewise. * t/acloca22.sh: Likewise. * t/aclocal5.sh: Likewise, and do not not invade the Automake namespace (this avoids spurious failures). * t/acloca14b.sh: New test, identical to the previous version of 'acloca14.test'; it is kept to verify backwards compatibility with the use of ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS. * t/acloca22b.sh: Likewise (but for 'acloca22.test'). * t/aclocal-amflags.sh: New test, check for backwards compatibility that ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS still works. * t/remake-macrodir.sh: New test, checking that aclocal's honoring of AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR interacts nicely with automatic rebuild rules. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add the new tests.

Note however that we still can't use "test ! -e" in the Makefile recipes used in the test cases; that is because those recipes are run with the shell detected by 'configure', and Autoconf-generated configure scripts do no guarantee to find or provide a POSIX-compatible shell. * Several tests: Adjust. * t/yacc-clean-cxx: Adjust, and remove a couple of useless commands. * t/parallel-tests-dry-run-2.sh: Adjust, and add invocation to "make -n" forgotten in previous versions of the test. * t/txinfo26.sh: Adjust, and don't bother to skip the test when it's run in a directory whose absolute path contain whitespace: that setup is not supported anyway. * t/maken3.sh: Adjust, and fix a typo that could cause a minor false negative. * t/test-trs-recover2.sh: Prefer using 'skip_' with a suitable error message over a bare 'exit 77'.

Unfortunately, we cannot dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh). For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the Autoconf manual: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap> The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following shells: - Bash 4.1 - Bash 3.2 - Bash 3.0 - Bash 2.05b - dash 0.5.5.1 - dash 0.5.2 - AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package) - MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package) - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh * t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ... (_am_exit): ... like this. (exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit' as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it. (_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same name. * configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite supports aliases named like shell builtins. * t/REAMDE: Adjust. * All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'. * t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit' after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t. that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be honored. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete. (sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. (sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little. * Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check. * gen-testsuite-part: Likewise.
