coverage: compile rules used "-c -o" also with losing compilers
If the 'subdir-objects' option is used, Automake-generated rules for
C compilation pass both the "-c" and "-o" options to the C compiler,
*unconditionally*. There are some compilers that choke on such an
usage, but the AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro takes care of them (it does so by
redefining $CC to use the Automake-provided 'compile' wrapper script
automatically, if a losing compiler is detected at configure runtime).
Unfortunately, in case the 'subdir-objects' option is specified in a
Makefile.am, but all the source files resided anyway in the top-level
directory (relative to the Makefile.am), Automake do *not* complain
if AM_PROG_CC_C_O wasn't invoked in 'configure.ac' -- all the while
still passing "-c -o" to the compiler invocations. This could cause
compilation failures with losing compilers if the user forget to call
AM_PROG_CC_C_O in 'configure.ac' (and Automake would not warn him of
the issue).
Expose this bug in the testsuite.

Individual files or sub-directories about future and on-going
development plans in Automake will be added in follow-up commits.
This new set of documents is meant to help ensure a more controlled

- Having the plans clearly spelled out should will avoid messy
roadmaps with no clear way forward or with muddy or ill-defined
aims or purposes; a trap this is too easy to fall into.
- Keeping planned changes cooking and re-hashed for a while should
ensure rough edges are smoothed up, transitions are planned in a
proper way (hopefully avoiding debacles like the AM_MKDIR_PROG_P
deprecation and the AM_CONFIG_HEADER too-abrupt removal), and
"power users" have more chances of getting informed in due time,
thus having all the time to prepare for the changes or raise
objections against them.
- Having the plans clearly stated and registered in a "centralized"
location should make it more difficult to them to slip through
the cracks, getting forgotten or (worse) only half-implemented.
- Even for discussions and plans registered on the Bug Tracker
as well, a corresponding entry in the PLANS directory can help
in keeping main ideas summarized, and consensus and/or objections
registered and easily compared.

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.

texi: deprecate hack about info files in CLEANFILES variables
For quite a long time, Automake has been implementing an undocumented
hack which ensured that '.info' files which appeared to be cleaned (by

built in the builddir rather than in the srcdir; this hack was introduced
to ensure better backward-compatibility with packages such as Texinfo,

DISTCLEANFILES = texinfo texinfo-* info*.info*
# Do not create info files for distribution.
dist-info:

Now that we have the 'info-in-builddir' option that explicitly causes

texi: info files can be generated in the builddir
User can now ask info files to be built in the $(builddir), rather than

This feature was requested by the developers of GCC, GDB, GNU binutils
and the GNU bfd library. See the extensive discussion about automake
bug#11034 for more details.
OK, to be honest, having '.info' files built in the builddir was
*already* possible, but only using ugly and undocumented hacks involving
definition of the CLEANFILES and/or DISTCLEANFILES. For example, the
binutils project did something like this in the relevant 'Makefile.am':
# Automake 1.9 will only build info files in the objdir if they are

should have been used instead. Set IFS to ':' before looping on the

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

So that automake won't complain about the missing ChangeLog.
The real rule for ChangeLog generation is now in maint.mk (as
it is maintainer-specific).

maint: move maintainer make rules in maint.mk
This is done for two reasons:
1. It will enable us to take advantage of more GNU make
features in our maintainer-specific recipes, if we
want to (and we probably will).
2. The Makefile.am won't have to be modified each time a
maintainer rule needs to be changed or tweaked; this
will prevent useless remaking of (in particular) the
't/testsuite-part.am' file.
* maint.mk: New, several recipes, rules and variables for
maintainer-specific tasks, extracted (with some tweaks)
from ...
* Makefile.am: ... this file.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add 'maint.mk'.
* GNUmakefile: Include 'maint.mk' after 'Makefile'.
