11 years agodocs: re-introduce mention of two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation
Stefano Lattarini [Tue, 1 Jan 2013 22:06:36 +0000 (23:06 +0100)]
docs: re-introduce mention of two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation

Albeit obsolescent and raising warnings in the 'obsolete' category,
that usage is still supported, and will need to be until Autoconf
improves its handling of configure-time-generated package version
numbers.  So it's better to explicitly document it again, stating
that it is obsoleted but still working (and why), rather then leaving
it as Yet Another Undocumented Feature (that will mysteriously and
suddenly break some random day in the future).

It's worth giving some background about how we ended up in the
situation that this patch fixes.

We had originally removed support for the long-deprecated two-args
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation (see commit v1.12-67-ge186355).  Before
that removal could land in a released Automake version, Bob Friesenhahn
made a quite compelling point that the two-args AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
invocation could still be useful for modern, maintained packages like
GraphicsMagick, at least until Autoconf is fixed to offer better support
for "dynamic" package versions (see commit v1.12.2-245-g2abe183 for more
in-depth rationales and references).  However, in that commit we didn't
revert the removal of the *documentation* for this two-arguments
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation (and no rationale for not doing so was given
in the commit message).  Time to remedy that.

obsolete: better error message if AM_PROG_CC_STDC is used

In Automake 1.13, the long-deprecated (since 2002) macro AM_PROG_CC_STDC
has been removed.  Such a removal, albeit sensible and justified, was
probably done in a too-abrupt way, since it didn't turn the pre-existing
warning messages into fatal error messages, but simply dropped the macro
definition, so that remaining usages of it would cause unclear error
messages, e.g.:

    configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_PROG_CC_STDC' not found in library

from aclocal, and:

    configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

from autoconf.

In an attempt to mitigate this issue, we re-add an AM_PROG_CC_STDC
definition that simply raises a *clear* error message when the macro
is used.

* t/am-prog-cc-stdc-no-more.sh: New test.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
* m4/obsolete-err.m4: Add the new "error-raising" definition for

11 years agoobsolete: better error message if AM_CONFIG_HEADER is used
Stefano Lattarini [Sun, 30 Dec 2012 09:33:23 +0000 (10:33 +0100)]
obsolete: better error message if AM_CONFIG_HEADER is used

In Automake 1.13, the long-deprecated macro AM_CONFIG_HEADER (deprecated
since 2002) has been removed in favour of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.  However,
the removal was done without a proper deprecation period, and that
caused packages upgrading to Automake 1.13 to fail with very unclear
error messages, e.g.:

    configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER' not found in library

from aclocal, and:

    configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

from autoconf.

In an attempt to mitigate this issue, we re-add an AM_CONFIG_HEADER
definition that simply raises a *clear* error message when the macro
is used.

ylwrap: various fixes

Rename properly header guards in generated header files, instead of
leaving Y_TAB_H.

Convert header guards in implementation files.  Because ylwrap failed
to rename properly #include in the implementation files, current
versions of Bison (e.g., 2.7) duplicate the generated header file in
the implementation file.  The header guard then protects the
implementation file from duplicate definitions from the header file.

Generate header guards with a single '_' for series of non alphabetic
characters, instead of several.  This is what Bison does.

Makes the test t/yacc-d-basic.sh pass again.

* lib/ylwrap (guard): Properly honor $1 to rename properly the
header guards.
