Mike Frysinger d747a66a 2022-02-20T19:06:55 m4: rework silent-rules macros to avoid double expansion Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/32868. The AM_SILENT_RULES macro defines all the silent-rules related setup. It's also called by users to change the default verbosity level. This leads to a quirk where automake calls it, expands the full context, and then users call it, and it's fully expanded again. Instead, let's rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES and move the initialization logic to late in the configure stage. This allows the user-centric AM_SILENT_RULES call to expand into a single line to set the default verbosity. * m4/init.m4: Switch to _AM_SILENT_RULES. * m4/silent.m4: Rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES. Delay evaluation of AM_SILENT_RULES to the end. Define new AM_SILENT_RULES to set default rules verbosity. * t/silent-defaults.sh: New tests. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add t/silent-defaults.sh.
Mike Frysinger 38da1d90 2022-02-17T04:35:03 python: use xargs -n when uninstalling files Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/53340. If the system has xargs, then utilize it to uninstall files to stay within long command line limits. If the system doesn't have xargs, fall back to running the remove command one at a time. Since every reasonable system should have `xargs -n`, and POSIX requires it, the fallback probably rarely gets used, so don't bother optimizing. * lib/am/inst-vars.am: Use am__xargs_n to call rm -f on the files. * lib/am/python.am: Drop am__base_list and for loop and let the am__uninstall_files_from_dir break up the long command lines. * m4/init.m4: Call _AM_PROG_XARGS_N. * m4/xargsn.m4: New test for `xargs -n`.
Mike Frysinger 3099097d 2022-02-17T03:50:55 rm: handle -f w/no arguments gracefully Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/10828. Delete the configure check that would abort if `rm -f` does not work, and delete the plans to make this a hard requirement in the future. Instead, test to see if `rm -f` fails w/out arguments. If it does, define am__rm_f such that it always passes at least the "" argument when deleting files. If it doesn't fail, then we can omit the "". Then go through lib/am/ and update places where we use the pattern `test -z ... || rm -f ...` and replace with $(am__rm_f). * NEWS: Mention support for `rm -f` w/out arguments. * PLANS/rm-f-without-args.txt: Remove. * lib/am/check.am: Use new $(am__rm_f) helper. * lib/am/clean.am: Likewise. * lib/am/header-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/inst-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/libs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/ltlib.am: Likewise. * lib/am/progs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/texinfos.am: Likewise. * m4/init.m4: Delete `rm -f` checks and call _AM_PROG_RM_F. * m4/rmf.m4: Define new _AM_PROG_RM_F macro. * t/rm-f-probe.sh: Update test.

Zack Weinberg ccb57553 2020-12-14T14:50:47 Fix some build and test failures with Autoconf 2.70. Autoconf 2.70 (released last week) makes a few changes that broke Automake’s expectations, mostly in the test suite. This patch addresses two of the problems: - autoconf now issues a warning if fed a configure script that doesn’t invoke both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT; this, plus a problem with system-provided tools (still under investigation) broke the *build* on macOS; it also causes a couple of spurious testsuite failures. - AC_PACKAGE_NAME and AC_PACKAGE_VERSION are now defined unconditionally. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE needs to use m4_ifset instead of m4_ifdef to diagnose the obsolete use of AC_INIT with fewer than two arguments. (This change is compatible with autoconf 2.69; m4_ifset is much older, and it means ‘defined with a non-empty value’.) * configure.ac: Use both AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT in test configure scripts. * t/deprecated-acinit.sh, t/init.sh: Likewise. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use m4_ifset, not m4_ifdef, to detect AC_PACKAGE_NAME and/or AC_PACKAGE_VERSION not having a value.

Stefano Lattarini e90126cf 2013-05-15T10:14:46 AM_PROG_CC_C_O: don't rely on AC_PROG_CC_C_O, re-implement similar logic ** Theoretical problems of AC_PROG_CC_C_O: Both cc and $CC are checked to see if they support the '-c' and '-o' options together. This behaviour is highly inconsistent with that of the other macros related to C compiler checks -- which test only $CC. It can also cause unwarranted uses of the 'compile' script on systems where the default 'cc' is inferior, but the user is compiling with a proper, different compiler (e.g., gcc). ** Practical problems with our previous implementation of C support m4 macros in Automake: - AM_PROG_AR must now be called *before* AC_PROG_CC; this wasn't the case before, and it turns out there are packages in the wild that relied on the old behaviour. - The cross-referenced requirements and macro rewrites juggled among AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CC_C_O and AM_PROG_CC_C_O caused warnings in autoconf; for example, in our test 't/libobj3.sh', we could see warnings like these (here slightly tweaked for legibility): configure.ac:5: AC_REQUIRE: `AC_PROG_CC' expanded before required autoconf/c.m4:567: AC_PROG_CC_C_O is expanded from... autoconf/c.m4:429: AC_LANG_COMPILER(C) is expanded from... autoconf/lang.m4:329: AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2606: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from... m4sugar/m4sh.m4:639: AS_IF is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2031: AC_CACHE_VAL is expanded from... autoconf/general.m4:2052: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from... aclocal.m4:70: AM_PROG_AR is expanded from... configure.ac:5: the top level ** Fix all of that: We fix all of the described issues with a new internal m4 macro _AM_PROG_CC_C_O (inspired to, but not based on, AC_PROG_CC_C_O) that gets tacked on to AC_PROG_CC automatically (this is done in the Automake-generated aclocal.m4) and that takes care of checking and adjusting '$CC' for "-c -o" support. The macro AM_PROG_CC_C_O is still present, but is now just a thin wrapper around such Automake-enhanced AC_PROG_CC. It is worth noting that the present patch causes three slight *backward-incompatibilities*: 1. The name cache variable used by AM_PROG_CC_C_O is no longer computed (at configure runtime!) from the content of '$CC', but is statically defined as 'am_cv_prog_cc_c_o'. 2. 'cc' is no longer checked by AM_PROG_CC_C_O, only '$CC' is. 3. AM_PROG_CC_C_O no longer AC_DEFINE the C preprocessor symbol 'NO_MINUS_C_MINUS_O'. Given however that the third change can easily be worked around, that the first two changes can be legitimately seen as bug fixes, and that the new semantics introduced by such changes will simplify the transition to Automake 2.0 (when the 'subdir-objects' will always be enabled unconditionally), we believe they are acceptable to be shipped with Automake 1.14. With this patch, we also revert some of the testsuite adjustments done in previous commit v1.13.2-178-g9877109 of 2013-05-24 (compile: rewrite AC_PROG_CC with AM_PROG_CC_C_O contents). Such adjustments are no longer needed. * m4/minuso.m4 (_AM_PROG_CC_C_O): New internal macro, basically and adjusted version of a merge between Autoconf-provided AC_PROG_CC_C_O and our old implementation of AM_PROG_CC_C_O. (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Redefine as a simple wrapper around AC_PROG_CC. * m4/init.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Append _AM_PROG_CC_C_O, not AM_PROG_CC_C_O, to the pre-existing expansion of this macro. * m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): No longer require it to be expanded after AC_PROG_CC. * t/aclocal-deps.sh: Move AC_PROG_CC invocation after AC_PROG_RANLIB and AM_PROG_AR invocations.

Stefano Lattarini 9877109c 2013-05-14T16:08:32 compile: rewrite AC_PROG_CC with AM_PROG_CC_C_O contents This is a much simpler rewrite than the one we attempted in the past, and that was later removed by commit 'v1.13.1d-137-g32eb770' of 2013-05-11 (compile: avoid AC_PROG_CC messy rewrite). Not only this change simplifies the code a little, but has the welcome collateral effect of making automatic dependency tracking work better with compilers that doesn't grasp the '-c' and '-o' options together. Issues in that setup have been caught by several failures in the target 'check-no-cc-c-o'. Unfortunately, this change has less welcome collateral effects: 1. AM_PROG_AR must now be called *after* AC_PROG_CC; 2. Autoconf emits extra warnings when used with Automake-generated aclocal.m4. These are unacceptable regressions for a release, but since we are going to fix them soon enough in a follow-up patch (surely to be applied before Automake 1.14 is released) we don't worry too much. * m4/init.m4: Redefine AC_PROG_CC early, to automatically invoke AM_PROG_CC_C_O as well. Accordingly, drop now-unneeded "automagical" AM_PROG_CC_C_O expansion at later time (which took place thanks to a AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE call). * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Ensure the expansion of the body of this macro takes place with C as "current Autoconf language" (use AC_LANG_PUSH/AC_LANG_POP). * m4/ar-lib.m4 (AM_PROG_AR): Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini d90001e3 2013-04-30T22:26:46 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.

Stefano Lattarini 030ecb45 2013-01-14T20:43:24 compat: restore AM_PROG_MKDIR, again OK, this is getting ridiculous, but we cannot remove this macro yet (and, yes, the fault for this mess lies entirely on me; let's not dwell on that, thank you very much). Gettext (so far the greatest "offender" in the use of AM_PROG_MKDIR), in its latest release 0.18.2, has removed all the uses of that macro still present in its code base. So I thought we could finally and safely remove it. Wrong. If a package's 'configure.ac' contains a call like: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18]) then the 'autopoint' script will bring the data files from the Gettext release *1.18* into the package's tree -- yes, even even if the developer has installed *and is using* Gettext 1.18.2! Now, these data files comprise m4 files (that will be seen by subsequent aclocal and autoconf calls), and of course, the pre-0.18.2 version of some of these files still contains occurrences of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P -- so Automake 1.13 errors out, and we lose. This has already happened in practice: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2013-01/msg00003.html> Moreover, while we might see it as not unreasonable to ask a developer using Automake 1.14 to also update Gettext to 1.18.2, that would not be enough; in order for gettext to use the correct data files, our developer would have to update his configure.ac to read: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18.2]) thus requiring *all* of his co-developers to install Gettext 1.18.2, even if they are still using, say, Automake 1.13. Bad. So we re-instate this macro as a simple alias for AC_PROG_MKDIR (plus a non-fatal runtime warning in the 'obsolete' category), and drop any plan to remove it (see how much good those plans have done us so far). Note that NEWS is not yet adjusted, since we'll have to adjust it in maint before (to minimize spurious merge conflicts). * doc/automake.texi: Update. * PLANS/obsolete-removed/am-prog-mkdir-p.txt: Likewise. * t/gettext-macros.sh: Adjust. * t/am-prog-mkdir-p.sh: New test. * t/mkdir_p.sh: Remove, folded into the new one. * t/am-prog-mkdir-p-no-more: Remove as superseded. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust. * t/obsolete-err.m4: Re-instate AM_PROG_MKDIR_P as a working alias for AC_PROG_MKDIR_P (albeit giving runtime warnings, and calling AC_SUBST on 'mkdir_p' too). * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): No longer call AC_SUBST for 'mkdir_p', as that is once again AM_PROG_MKDIR_P's business.

So we introduce an aggressive probe to check that the usage we want is actually supported "in the wild" to an acceptable degree. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Implement the probe. To make any issue more visible, cause the running configure to be aborted by default if the 'rm' program in use doesn't match our expectations; the user can still override this though, by setting the ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM environment variable to "yes". * t/spy-rm.tap: Update heading comments. * t/rm-f-probe.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * PLANS/rm-f-without-args.txt: Adjust.

Stefano Lattarini 34001a98 2013-01-09T23:16:53 compile: use 'compile' script when "-c -o" is used with losing compilers Do so seen when only source files in the "current" directory are present. This commit is part of a series of related changes addressing automake bug#13378 (see also the plan 'PLANS/subdir-objects.txt'). Before this change, Automake-generated C compilation rules mistakenly passed the "-c -o" options combination unconditionally (even to losing compiler) when the 'subdir-objects' was used but sources were only present in the top-level directory. Issue spotted by Nick Bowler: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13378#35> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13378#44> We fix this by having Automake redefine AC_PROG_CC to take over the role of AM_PROG_CC_C_O and to require the 'compile' script unconditionally (albeit that will continue to be invoked only when inferior compilers are detected). Among other things, this means AM_PROG_CC_C_O explicitly is no longer required; that macro is still supported for backward-compatibility, but calling it is basically a no-op now. This change has some pros and some cons (obviously, we believe the former outweighs the latter). Here are the most relevant ones: + Pros 1: Some logic in the Automake script has been simplified. + Pros 2: That simplification has automatically fixed an actual bug (see Nick's mails referenced above; admittedly, that was present only in corner-case situations, but still); the test 't/ccnoco4.sh', which demonstrated the bug and has been failing so far, now passes. + Pros 3: Things works more "automagically" now (no need to manually add the AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro to configure.ac anymore). * Cons 1: The 'compile' script will be required in all projects using C compilation; this will only be a problem for packages not using '--add-missing'. However, such packages are definitely more rare than the ones using '--add-missing', and adjusting them will be trivial -- just copy the compile script over from the new Automake installation. * Cons 2: The copy & paste of autoconf internals hack this change has introduced in our "rewrite" of AC_PROG_CC is really an egregious abomination. It can only be justified with the fact that we expect future versions of autoconf to implement the semantics we need directly in AC_PROG_CC, so that we'll be able to leverage that (since Automake 1.14 will require the latest Autoconf version released). Now, the detailed list of file-by-file changes ... * automake.in ($seen_cc_c_o): Remove this global variable. (scan_autoconf_traces): Don't set it, and do not trace the 'AM_PROG_CC_C_O' m4 macro. (lang_c_rewrite): Remove, no longer needed. * doc/automake.texi: Adjust expected "autoreconf --install" output in the amhello example. Remove statements about the need for the AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro. Report it is obsolete now. * m4/init.m4: Re-write AC_PROG_CC to append checks about whether the C compiler supports "-c -o" together. These checks have basically been ripped out (with adaptations) from the 'AC_PROG_CC_C_O' macro of Autoconf and ... * m4/minuso.m4 (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): ... this macro of ours, which has thus basically become a no-op. * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (am_setup_testdir): Also copy the 'compile' script in the test directory; if we don't do so, every test using AC_PROG_CC should call automake with the "--add-missing" option, or copy the 'compile' script itself. * t/cond11.sh: No need to create a dummy 'compile' script: that is already brought in by 'am_setup_testdir()', that is automatically invoked when 'test-lib.sh' is sourced. * t/add-missing.tap: Adjust: we expect the 'compile' script to be required by a mere AC_PROG_CC call now. * t/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.sh: Likewise. * t/specflg6.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj4.sh: Likewise. * t/cxx-lt-demo.sh: Likewise, and update comments to match. * t/distcom2.sh: Enhance a little. * t/dollarvar2.sh: Adjust. * t/extra-portability.sh: Likewise. * t/libobj19.sh: Likewise. * t/per-target-flags.sh: Likewise. * t/repeated-options.sh: Likewise. * t/subobj.sh: Likewise, and enhance a little. * t/ccnoco2.sh: Remove as obsolete. * t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Adjust.

Stefano Lattarini 2abe1833 2012-08-24T10:47:17 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: allow obsolescent two-args invocation once again This partially reverts commit 'v1.12-67-ge186355' of 2012-05-25, "init: obsolete usages of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE not supported anymore" Some users still need to be able to define the version number for their package dynamically, at configure runtime. Their user case is that, for development snapshots, they want to be able to base the complete version of the package on the VCS revision ID (mostly Git or Mercurial). They could of course do so by specifying such version dynamically in their call to AC_INIT, as is done by several GNU packages. But then they would need to regenerate and re-run the configure script before each snapshot, which might be very time-consuming for complex packages, to the point of slowing down and even somewhat impeding development. The situation should truly be solved in Autoconf, by allowing a way to specify the version dynamically in a way that doesn't force the configure script to be regenerated and re-run every time the package version changes. But until Autoconf has been improved to allow this, Automake will have to support the obsolescent two-arguments invocation for AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, to avoid regressing the suboptimal but working solution for the use case described above. See also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-08/msg00025.html> * NEWS: Update. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Support once again invocation with two or three arguments. * t/aminit-moreargs-no-more.sh: Renamed ... * t/aminit-moreargs-deprecated.sh: ... like this, and updated. * t/nodef.sh: Recovered test, with minor adjustments. * t/backcompat.sh: Likewise. * t/backcompat2.sh: Likewise. * t/backcompat3.sh: Likewise. * t/backcompat6.sh: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.

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".

Ralf Wildenhues 2c74a340 2009-04-13T23:17:39 silent-rules reorganization, --enable-silent-rules switch. This patch introduces a configure-time option to set the default verbosity. Since configure now needs to know whether the `silent-rules' automake option was set, the latter can only be set within AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, or with a new AM_SILENT_RULES macro but not any more through AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS or the automake command line option `--silent-rules'. * automake.in (define_verbose_var): Define the default verbose variable in terms of `$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'. (handle_configure): Do not pass `--silent-rules' to automake. (scan_autoconf_traces): Trace `AM_SILENT_RULES'. If seen, enable global `silent-rules' option. (usage): Do not document `--silent-rules'. (parse_arguments): Do not accept `--silent-rules'. * doc/automake.texi (Options): Overhaul. Document AM_SILENT_RULES, --enable-silent-rules, --disable-silent-rules, AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. Show an example for user-added variables for less verbose output. (Invoking Automake): Remove documentation for `--silent-rules'. (Public Macros): Document `AM_SILENT_RULES'. * NEWS: Update. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Accept `silent-rules' only as option in configure.ac. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): If the `silent-rules' option was enabled, require `AM_SILENT_RULES'; move AM_BACKSLASH initialization to ... * m4/silent.m4 (AM_SILENT_RULES): ... this new file, new macro. Deal with `--enable-silent-rules' switch; define AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY. * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add silent.m4. * tests/dollarvar.test: Remove tests for `--silent-rules', use `AM_SILENT_RULES'. * tests/flavor.test: Remove test for `--silent-rules'. * tests/silent.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; use `--enable-silent-rules'. * tests/silent2.test: Likewise. * tests/silent3.test: Likewise. * tests/silent4.test: Likewise. * tests/silent5.test: Likewise. * tests/silent6.test: Likewise. Test `AM_SILENT_RULES' as well as `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([silent-rules])' instead of `--silent-rules'. * tests/silent7.test: Use `AM_SILENT_RULES' instead of `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = silent-rules'; ensure the latter is rejected. Test combinations of --enable-silent-rules and --disable-silent-rules with `make V=0' and `make V=1'. Suggestion for configure-time switch by Bob Friesenhahn.
