Subject: [PATCH] Restore compatibility with older std-gnu11.m4.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Gnulib’s std-gnu11.m4 backports C11 and C++11 detection to autoconf
2.69. It does this by replacing the definitions of AC_PROC_CC and
AC_PROG_CXX and most of their subroutines. In particular, it replaces
the definitions of _AC_PROG_CC_C11, _AC_PROG_CC_C99, and _AC_C_STD_TRY,
but it does *not* replace the definition of _AC_PROG_CC_C89.
Autoconf commit 131d8c69f31dc6fc8dc93abe1096d52d1fe19fd3 changed the
calling convention of _AC_C_STD_TRY, and changed the internal
definitions of _AC_PROG_CC_C{11,99,89} to match. If std-gnu11.m4 is
in use, our _AC_PROG_CC_C89 calls their _AC_C_STD_TRY with the new
calling convention, and this produces a syntactically invalid
configure script. (This is is fortunate: it could easily have been a
runtime malfunction that only manifested with compilers that only
implement C89, and then we might not have noticed the problem for
years.)
Gnulib commit a3b3fc85e3e632374811b27cb2111e50fa177e36 makes
std-gnu11.m4 do nothing when used with autoconf >=2.70, but older
versions of the file will circulate for years to come, so this patch
works around the problem in autoconf. It does this by renaming all of
the internal macros involved with C and C++ standard edition
detection, *except* _AC_PROG_CC_C89. AC_PROG_CC now calls
_AC_PROG_CC_STDC_EDITION, which loops over all supported editions
calling _AC_PROG_CC_STDC_EDITION_TRY, which uses the data provided by
the existing _AC_C_C${edition}_TEST_PROGRAM macros and a new set of
macros called _AC_C_C${edition}_OPTIONS to perform the test for that
edition of the standard. Similarly, AC_PROG_CXX calls
_AC_PROG_CXX_STDCXX_EDITION, which loops calling
_AC_PROG_CXX_STDCXX_EDITION_TRY, which uses data from
_AC_CXX_CXX${edition}_TEST_PROGRAM and _AC_CXX_CXX${edition}_OPTIONS.
_AC_PROG_CC_C89 is the only macro from the old set that we still
define, and its definition is reverted to what std-gnu11.m4 expects it
to be. Nothing in Autoconf proper uses it anymore.
foreign.at grows a test to verify that the compatibility stub version
of _AC_PROG_CC_C89 does its job. Since this is now the third test
involving an embedded copy of a third-party macro, I broke them all
out of foreign.at to separate files in test/data/.
In addition to fixing the breakage, this patch should make it easier
to extend C / C++ standard edition detection in the future, by getting
rid of the if-else chains in AC_PROG_CC/CXX and by disentangling the
lists of command-line options to test from the logic.
I also changed the manual to suggest people refer to the variables
‘ac_prog_cc_stdc’ and ‘ac_prog_cxx_stdcxx’ to learn which edition
of the C and C++ standards are selected; these are much easier to
work with than the ac_cv_prog_cc_cNN cache variables.

+# (FIXME: Switch to four-digit years for futureproofing.)

+# in the space-separated list defined by _AC_C_CXX{EDITION}_OPTIONS.

+# If we find a way to make the test program compile, set cache variable

+# options to $CXX. Set shell variable ac_prog_cxx_stdcxx to `cxxEDITION',
+# and set shell variable ac_cv_prog_cxx_stdcxx to the options required.
+# (Neither of these variables is AC_SUBSTed. ac_cv_prog_cxx_stdcxx used
+# to be a cache variable and is preserved with this name for backward
+# compatibility.) Otherwise, ac_cv_prog_cxx_cxxEDITION is set to `no'
+# and the other variables are not changed.
+#
+# If ac_prog_cxx_stdcxx is already set to a value other than `no',

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# This macro searches for a C compiler that generates native executables,
+# that is a C compiler that surely is not a cross-compiler. This can be
+# useful if you have to generate source code at compile-time like for
+# example GCC does.
+#
+# The macro sets the CC_FOR_BUILD and CPP_FOR_BUILD macros to anything
+# needed to compile or link (CC_FOR_BUILD) and preprocess (CPP_FOR_BUILD).
+# The value of these variables can be overridden by the user by specifying
+# a compiler with an environment variable (like you do for standard CC).
+#
+# It also sets BUILD_EXEEXT and BUILD_OBJEXT to the executable and object
+# file extensions for the build platform, and GCC_FOR_BUILD to `yes' if
+# the compiler we found is GCC. All these variables but GCC_FOR_BUILD are
+# substituted in the Makefile.
