6bf58a59	2012-05-28T13:32:03	aclocal: declare function prototypes, do not use '&' in function calls This change will also fix automake bug#11543 (from a report by Matt Burgess). * aclocal.in: Declare prototypes for almost all functions early, before any actual function definition (but omit the prototype for the dynamically generated '&search' function). Add prototypes to any function definition. Remove '&' from function invocations (i.e., simply use "func(ARGS..)" instead of "&func(ARGS...)"). * THANKS, NEWS: Update.

b6359a5f	2012-05-16T18:16:41	ylwrap: preserve subdirectories in "#line" munging If Automake is used in non-recursive mode and one of the inputs is a yacc file, for example, "src/grammar.y", ylwrap will remove too many directories from the output file when it adjusts the paths in it. This results in #line directives referring to "grammar.y" instead of "src/grammar.y". This is a result of $input_rx simply taking all the directory components of the absolute input path and removing them. One solution is to store the path passed to ylwrap and replace $input_rx with it. This is what we do. Suggestion and initial patch (without tests) by Nikolai Weibull: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-05/msg00013.html> Final patch by Stefano Lattarini. * lib/ylwrap ($input_sub_rx): New. When munging the #line directives, substitute '$input_rx' with it, instead of stripping it altogether. Adjust comments. * t/yacc-line.sh, t/lex-line: Adjust and extend. * NEWS, THANKS: Update.

eb7e8f33	2012-04-26T10:29:42	tests: fix a failure in Lex/C++ tests on Mac OS X The <cstdio> header from Xcode-4.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.3 declares a 'isatty' function with C++ linkage, that conflicts with our dummy definition of the same function, which in turn is required to work around the absence of the unistd.h header on MinGW (see commit 'v1.11-2138-gfeea090' of 11-04-2012). So we tweak the affected tests to work around this new problem as well. This fixes automake bug#11345. * t/lex-clean-cxx.sh ($required): Since we are at it, add an explicit 'c++' requirement. * t/lex-depend-cxx.sh ($required): Likewise. (my-hdr.hxx): Don't include <cstdio>. The "using namespace" directive should still be enough to ensure the content of this header is not valid C, albeit being of course valid C++. Fix unrelated typos in comments. (joe.ll): Adjust, by removing the call to 'printf'. * THANKS: Add entry for reporter "Adam Mercer". Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>

6805810d	2012-03-26T15:26:46	tests: workaround for automatic linker determination and conditionals See automake bug#11089. Automake is not very smart in automatically determining the command to be used to link a program whose source files' languages are conditionally defined. For example, an input like: if HAVE_CXX foo_SOURCES = more.c++ else foo_SOURCES = less.c endif will cause the build rules for 'foo' to unconditionally use the C++ compiler for linking, even when the 'HAVE_CXX' conditional evaluates to false (which might mean that no C++ compiler is available). This behaviour is not really correct, but it's easy enough to work around, and it's only relevant for fringe use cases (at best). So let's just test that the workaround really works. * tests/link_cond.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * THANKS: Update.

368f1c4c	2012-03-16T23:48:53	install: don't create empty dirs when an empty 'foo_PRIMARY' is used Fixes automake bug#11030 and bug#10997. An empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" in a Makefile.am used to cause the generated install rules to create the directory $(foodir) anyway, even if nothing was to be installed there. While this could be seen as a convenient way to create a $(foodir) directory upon "make install" (respecting $(DESTDIR) settings and such), it also caused problems with conditionals; for example, an input of: if FALSE pgkdata_DATA = something endif caused the generated install rules to unconditionally create the $(pkgdatadir) directory (see automake bug#10997). Also, a user wanting to create an empty directory upon installation can easily do so with a custom install hook, as in: installdirs-local: $(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(foodir) install-data-hook: installdirs-local On the other hand, the old behavior of "always create $(foodir), even if 'foo_PRIMARY' is empty" was harder and more tricky to override. Thus, from now on, an empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" will not cause the directory $(foodir) to be created upon "make install" anymore. * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/java.am, lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/ltlib.am, lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am, lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Adjust install rules to avoid creating an installation directory if no files are actually to be installed there. * tests/instdir-empty.test: Remove, it was testing a semantic opposite to the one we now want and implement. * tests/instdir-no-empty.test: New test, check the new semantic. * tests/instdir-cond.test: Enhance.

a75a1a52	2012-03-15T16:50:40	aclocal: create local directory where to install m4 files Fixes automake bug#8168 and bug#10816.

b51a9afe	2012-02-22T10:12:02	aclocal: don't create /usr/share/aclocal as empty Related to automake bug#10791. Since automake 1.11.2, aclocal no longer succeeds if the system acdir '${datadir}/aclocal' (i.e., "/usr/share/aclocal" when ${prefix} is "/usr") does not exist. So we now have a directory installed empty by default, but whose existence is required by aclocal in order for it to function at all. This might be confusing, and sounds like asking for trouble in the long term. So we now also install a simple README file in that directory, which briefly explains its purpose and warn that its existence is required by the normal aclocal functioning. * m4/acdir/README: New file. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_system_ac_DATA): Add it. * m4/acdir/.placeholder: Delete, no more needed. * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it. * THANKS: Update.

1ec16686	2011-10-23T13:19:21	info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir' With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no". This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the `install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06). This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992. * lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of `install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'. * tests/install-info-dir.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted interferences from the environment. * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Update. * NEWS: Likewise. * THANKS: Likewise.

d235db33	2011-05-29T10:42:00	automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they were not honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal' scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious failures. Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html> * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'. * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'. * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and `@am_AUTOM4TE'. * NEWS: Update. * THANKS: Update.
eb147a19	2011-05-25T19:05:15	lex tests: avoid spurious failures when LEXLIB isn't found The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function which is required to link most lex-generated programs). On the contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl') fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to possibly fail later, at make time. This behaviour might be (partly) intended; the Autoconf manual reads: ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it produces is portable. In order to ensure portability, however, you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.'' This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library providing `yywrap' (this happens for example in Linux->MinGW cross compilations). But at this point is clear that a proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers. * tests/cond35.test: Provide a dummy `yywrap' function. * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-gcc.test: Likewise, and a dummy `main' too. * tests/silent-lex-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-lib.test: New test. * tests/lex-libobj.test: New test. * tests/lex-nowrap.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * THANKS: Update.

ylwrap: preserve subdirectories in "#line" munging If Automake is used in non-recursive mode and one of the inputs is a yacc file, for example, "src/grammar.y", ylwrap will remove too many directories from the output file when it adjusts the paths in it. This results in #line directives referring to "grammar.y" instead of "src/grammar.y". This is a result of $input_rx simply taking all the directory components of the absolute input path and removing them. One solution is to store the path passed to ylwrap and replace $input_rx with it. This is what we do. Suggestion and initial patch (without tests) by Nikolai Weibull: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-05/msg00013.html> Final patch by Stefano Lattarini. * lib/ylwrap ($input_sub_rx): New.

tests: fix a failure in Lex/C++ tests on Mac OS X The <cstdio> header from Xcode-4.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.3 declares a 'isatty' function with C++ linkage, that conflicts with our dummy definition of the same function, which in turn is required to work around the absence of the unistd.h header on MinGW (see commit 'v1.11-2138-gfeea090' of 11-04-2012).

docs: deprecate 'cygnus' mode, help the transition Support for "Cygnus-style" trees (so far enabled by the 'cygnus' option) will be deprecated in one release of the next major series (1.12.x) and removed in the next major release after that (1.13). Better to start warning about this in the manual. * docs/automake.texi: Warn about the oncoming deprecation of the 'cygnus' mode. Suggest some idioms that can be used to retain some effects of the 'cygnus' option. * THANKS: Update. From a suggestion by Joseph S. Myers in automake bug#11034.

tests: workaround for automatic linker determination and conditionals See automake bug#11089. Automake is not very smart in automatically determining the command to be used to link a program whose source files' languages are conditionally defined. For example, an input like: if HAVE_CXX foo_SOURCES = more.c++ else foo_SOURCES = less.c endif will cause the build rules for 'foo' to *unconditionally* use the C++ compiler for linking, even when the 'HAVE_CXX' conditional evaluates to false (which might mean that no C++ compiler is available). This behaviour is not really correct, but it's easy enough to work around, and it's only relevant for fringe use cases (at best). So let's just test that the workaround really works. * tests/link_cond.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * THANKS: Update.

install: don't create empty dirs when an empty 'foo_PRIMARY' is used Fixes automake bug#11030 and bug#10997. An empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" in a Makefile.am used to cause the generated install rules to create the directory $(foodir) anyway, even if nothing was to be installed there. While this could be seen as a convenient way to create a $(foodir) directory upon "make install" (respecting $(DESTDIR) settings and such), it also caused problems with conditionals; for example, an input of: if FALSE pgkdata_DATA = something endif caused the generated install rules to unconditionally create the $(pkgdatadir) directory (see automake bug#10997). Also, a user wanting to create an empty directory upon installation can easily do so with a custom install hook, as in: installdirs-local: $(MKDIR_P) $(DESTDIR)$(foodir) install-data-hook: installdirs-local On the other hand, the old behavior of "always create $(foodir), even if 'foo_PRIMARY' is empty" was harder and more tricky to override. Thus, from now on, an empty declaration of "foo_PRIMARY" will not cause the directory $(foodir) to be created upon "make install" anymore. * lib/am/data.am, lib/am/java.am, lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/ltlib.am, lib/am/mans.am, lib/am/progs.am, lib/am/python.am, lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Adjust install rules to avoid creating an installation directory if no files are actually to be installed there. * tests/instdir-empty.test: Remove, it was testing a semantic opposite to the one we now want and implement. * tests/instdir-no-empty.test: New test, check the new semantic. * tests/instdir-cond.test: Enhance.

aclocal: create local directory where to install m4 files Fixes automake bug#8168 and bug#10816. A call like "aclocal -I m4 --install" used to fail if the 'm4' directory wasn't pre-existing.

(scan_m4_dirs): Don't die if the first directory of type FT_USER doesn't exist and the '--install' option was given; that directory will be created later ... (install_file): ... here. Change signature of this function: now it takes as second argument the destination directory rather than the destination file. Crate the destination directory if it doesn't already exist.

aclocal: don't create /usr/share/aclocal as empty Related to automake bug#10791. Since automake 1.11.2, aclocal no longer succeeds if the system acdir '${datadir}/aclocal' (i.e., "/usr/share/aclocal" when ${prefix} is "/usr") does not exist. So we now have a directory *installed empty by default*, but whose existence is required by aclocal in order for it to function at all. This might be confusing, and sounds like asking for trouble in the long term. So we now also install a simple README file in that directory, which briefly explains its purpose and warn that its existence is required by the normal aclocal functioning. * m4/acdir/README: New file. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_system_ac_DATA): Add it. * m4/acdir/.placeholder: Delete, no more needed. * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it. * THANKS: Update.

install: pkglibexec_SCRIPTS is a valid prefix/primary combination It makes little sense for `libexec_SCRIPTS' to be accepted as valid while `pkglibexec_SCRIPTS' is not.

info: allow user to inhibit creation/update of '${infodir}/dir' With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR' to the value "no". This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the `install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian install-info BTW (probably since dpkg 1.15.4, 2009-09-06). This change fixes automake bug#9773. See also Debian Bug#543992. * lib/am/texinfos.am: Don't look anymore at the output of `install-info --version' to decide whether to use it to update the `${infodir}/dir' or not; instead, honour the environment variable `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR'. * tests/install-info-dir.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * tests/defs: Also unset `AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR', to avoid unwanted interferences from the environment. * doc/automake.texi (Texinfo): Update. * NEWS: Likewise. * THANKS: Likewise.

automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal' scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious failures. Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html> * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'. * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'. * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and `@am_AUTOM4TE'. * NEWS: Update. * THANKS: Update.

lex tests: avoid spurious failures when LEXLIB isn't found The AC_PROG_LEX Autoconf macro does not diagnose a failure to find the "lex library" expected to provide a `yywrap' function (function which is required to link most lex-generated programs). On the contrary, when all the link attempts (i.e., with `-ll' and `-lfl') fail, configure declares that no lex library is needed, and simply proceeds with the configuration process -- only for the build to possibly fail later, at make time. This behaviour might be (partly) intended; the Autoconf manual reads: ``You are encouraged to use Flex in your sources, since it is both more pleasant to use than plain Lex and the C source it produces is portable. In order to ensure portability, however, you must either provide a function `yywrap' or, if you don't use it (e.g., your scanner has no `#include'-like feature), simply include a `%noyywrap' statement in the scanner's source.'' This AC_PROG_LEX behaviour is causing some spurious failures of the Automake testsuite in environments which lack a proper library providing `yywrap' (this happens for example in Linux->MinGW cross compilations). But at this point is clear that a proper workaround is to simply provide a fall-back implementation of `yywrap' in our lexers. * tests/cond35.test: Provide a dummy `yywrap' function. * tests/lex3.test: Likewise. * tests/lexvpath.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-gcc.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-many-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/silent-lex-gcc.test: Likewise, and a dummy `main' too. * tests/silent-lex-generic.test: Likewise. * tests/lex-lib.test: New test. * tests/lex-libobj.test: New test. * tests/lex-nowrap.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update. * THANKS: Update. Thanks to Russ Allbery for the suggestion.
