* acgeneral.m4 (AC_HELP_STRING): Rewrite in m4. Have m4 work, and
give a break to sh.
(_AC_FOREACH): Be careful not to evaluate the arguments. A loop
over *quoted* macro names should loop over the macro names, not
upon their expansion.
(_AC_COMMATIZE): Also swallow end of lines.
* autoconf.texi (Pretty Help Strings): Updated to reflect the
changes.
1999-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* acgeneral.m4 (ifset): New helpy tiny macro.
(AC_OUTPUT): Improved --help of config.status.
(AC_OUTPUT): Remove inconditionaly all the files to be updated.
(AC_OUTPUT): Use pid to define the temporary file names in order
to allow parallel builds.
* autoconf.sh: Substitute also /@BKL@/[/ /@BKR@/]/ /@DLR@/$/ so
that these characters are more easily accessible from m4 without
turning changequote juggling into a nightmare.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): New macro, for word wrapping.
* autoconf.texi: Update the direntry for more modern Texinfos.
Add pointer to configure and config.status.
Remove the dots from the menus: horizontal space is precious.
(Invoking config.status): More traditional presentation of the options.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_ACVERSION): Bump to 2.14.1 to differenciate the
experimental branch from the main trunk.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_FOREACH_COMMA): New macro, to perform m4 loops
on m4 lists (i.e., list='(item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)').
(AC_FOREACH): New macro, to perform m4 loops on shell lists (i.e.,
list='item_1 item_2 ... item_n').
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN): Now accept two other optionnal
parameters: the name of the macro which is specialized here, and
the name of the first argument. For instance `AC_CHECK_FNMATCH'
should be declared as specializing `AC_CHECK_FUNC' for `fnmatch'
as first argument.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILES): Use AC_FOREACH for looping,
instead of the shell's loop.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR): In addition to transliteration, provide a
mean to specify the valid destination alphabet and a default
character for aliens characters. This is in order to remove
characters such as `+:-' etc. that may appear in file names,
but are not valid for shell variables or #defines.
(AC_TR_DEFINE): New macro, maps anything to a valid uppercase
#define rhs.
(AC_TR_UPCASE_NAME): Replaced by AC_TR_DEFINE. All callers
changed.
(AC_TR_UPCASE_FILE): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TR_SH): Don't use the generic AC_TR: there is a
difficult problem of quoting between m4 and sh. Use the variable
$ac_tr_sh to work around this difficulty.
(AC_VAR_TEST_SET): New macro, which tests if a variable is set.
(AC_VAR_IF_SET): New `ifelse' macro.
(AC_CACHE_VAL): Use AC_VAR_IF_SET.
(AC_INIT_NOTICE): Define $ac_tr_sh.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILE): Converted to use AC_TR and AC_VAR
families.
* acgeneral.m4: Fixed the regular expressions: `$' shall not be
portably in a sed \(\) group.
(Particular Programs): Document new optional argument to AC_PROG_CC,
AC_PROG_CXX and AC_PROG_F77. Document additions to the Fortran 77
compiler search list.
(AC_PROG_CC): Remove uname test for win32/Cygwin, and just test for `cl'
as a last resort.
(AC_PROG_F77): Add more Fortran 77 compilers to the search list.
Contributed by Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>.
(AC_PROG_CC): Likewise.
(AC_PROG_CXX): Likewise.
(AC_PROG_F77): Add an optional first argument which gives the user an
opportunity to specify an alternative search list for the compiler.
(AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): New implementation, to make maintenance
easier.
Grep the initial output so that we don't start parsing "-l" and "-L" too
early. From Christopher Lee <chrislee@ri.cmu.edu>

(AC_TR_UPCASE_NAME): New macro, transliteration 'a-z' to 'A-Z'.
(AC_TR_UPCASE_FILE): New macro, transliteration 'a-z./-' to 'A-Z___'.
(AC_TR_SH): New macro, transliteration to valid sh var name.
(_AC_SH_QUOTE): New macro which protects non protected backquotes
against shell expansion.
(AC_MSG_CHECKING): Use it.
(AC_CHECKING): Use it.
(AC_MSG_RESULT): Use it.
(AC_VERBOSE): Use it.
(AC_MSG_WARN): Use it.
(AC_MSG_ERROR): Use it.
(_AC_MESSAGE): New macro to report message at m4 time.
(AC_WARNING): New macro to report warnings at m4 runtime.
(AC_FATAL): New macro, to report fatal error at m4 runtime.
(AC_VAR_IF_INDIR): New macro.
(AC_VAR_SET): Likewise.
(AC_VAR_GET): Likewise.
{f77-name-mangling} (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Change sed regexps to
recognize CPP macros that take arguments. Reported, and based on a
patch, by Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>.
(AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Likewise.
{f77-name-mangling} (AC_F77_WRAPPERS): New macro to define the F77_FUNC
and F77_FUNC_ CPP macros to properly mangle the names of C identifiers
so that they match the name mangling scheme used by the Fortran 77
compiler.
(AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING): New macro to test for the name mangling scheme
used by the Fortran 77 compiler.
