        boost_base: add /opt/homebrew to search paths
        Users with Boost installed via homebrew on arm64 (M1) hardware will
        have the libs under this path. Not sure if this is something you'd want
        to accomodate, but we currently patch this into the macro, so have
        decided to upstream.

        Fix typo, check for PYTHON_PLATFORM_SITE_PKG not PYTHON_SITE_PKG

2022-08-29  Stefano Rivera  <stefanor@debian.org>

        Support Debian's posix_local sysconfig scheme in ax_python_devel
        Debian adds a custom sysconfig scheme to system python installs,
        "posix_local". This is the default scheme, and it redirects local
        users' Python module installs to /usr/local even though Python is
        installed with a /usr prefix. Both are on Debian's python's sys.path
        module search path.

        Autoconf and its users understand prefixes, and are likely to select
        /usr/local, explicitly. Select the "posix_prefix" scheme, with the
        user-supplied prefix.

        Previously this custom sysconfig scheme was specified in
        distutils.sysconfig, but not sysconfig itself. As distutils is being
        deprecated, the custom scheme is now specified in sysconfig, since
        Debian's Python 3.10 (3.10.2-4).

        Fix FTCBFS with lib mysql
        apophenia fails to cross build from source, because it fails to locate
        the mysql client libraries. It does so via the AX_LIB_MYSQL macro, which
        consults mysql_config, which cannot work during cross builds. This patch
        extends the AX_LIB_MYSQL
        macro to try pkg-config before mysql_config.

        FIX FTCBS
        projectm fails to cross build from source, because it uses AX_HAVE_QT
        from autoconf-archive and that macro hard codes the build architecture
        qmake. We use the
        host architecture for qmake.

        Fix AX_LUA_HEADERS uses AC_RUN_IFELSE
        telegram-cli fails to cross build from source, because it uses
        AX_LUA_HEADERS, which happens to use AC_RUN_IFELSE to compute the lua
        version. As it turns out, the version is also available as an integer,
        which allows using the cross-friendly AC_COMPUTE_INT. The attached patch
        updates AX_LUA_HEADERS to use AC_COMPUTE_INT.

        variable is introduced for a workaround.

        ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx: Fix for MSVC
        MSVC always sets __cplusplus to 199711L in older versions; newer versions
        do the same unless /Zc:__cplusplus is specified as well as a /std:c++<NN>
        switch:

        https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/msvc-now-correctly-reports-__cplusplus/

        This fixes a regression compared to the old separate
        AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11, etc macros which didn't check the value of
        __cplusplus so worked OK with MSVC.

        ax_prog_cc_for_build: Properly restore ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu
        The ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu wasn't properly restored to original
        state (f.e. yes), but value of the "save" variable was used:

        ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu=${ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu=saved_ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu}

        Additionally, we don't need to cache the saved_ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu
        and was_set_ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu, so remove the ac_cv_ from their names.

        This would not manifest on a single run, but any repeated run with cache
        file (./configure -C) would be broken.

        AX_CC_FOR_BUILD: deprecate in favor of AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD
        The AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD has seen a lot more updates than
        AX_CC_FOR_BUILD, and is generally way more complete.  The latter
        hardcoded `gcc` as the native compiler fallback and lacks any of
        the standard $build- prefix searches.

        It also uses non-standard cache vars -- it's using the bfd_cv_xxx
        namespace instead of the ax_cv_xxx namespace everything else does.

        Otherwise, the macros largely have the same intention: to find a
        compiler for the build system, and setup the exe extension.  So
        deprecate AX_CC_FOR_BUILD and have it redirect automatically.

        AX_VALGRIND_CHECK: Correct recursive target names.
        Recursive targets associated with AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS() macro
        calls should end with "-local", not "-am".  Correct the
        check-valgrind{-vgtool}-am rules accordingly.  This addresses a
        problem where the calling "make check-valgrind" resulted in "nothing
        to be done".

        details:

        recursive targets were otherwise not generated by Automake when using
        an installed copy of the `ax_valgrind_check.m4' file

        AX_PTHREAD: use AS_ECHO instead of $as_echo
        AS_ECHO(["text"]) is the documented way to perform an 'echo' safely.
        $as_echo is an internal, undocumented shell variable that was part of
        the implementation of AS_ECHO; it was never intended to be used directly.

        The code in ax_pthread.m4 would work with autoconf 2.69, but with
        unreleased development versions of Autoconf from January 2013 until
        March 2020 (which did not set $as_echo at all) it would have malfunctioned
        unpredictably.  With versions after March 2020 it would work correctly
        but trigger -Wobsolete warnings.

        AX_PTHREAD: target > host
        Even if cross-compiling is not the most used use-case, it's much more

        autoconf-manual "18.6.3 Hosts and Cross-Compilation").

        AX_PTHREAD.M4: ensure C++ is handled analogous
        Since at least AIX behaves for CC_r/xlC_r as it does for cc_r/xlc_r and so on,
        use the same logic for CXX <-> PTHREAD_CXX as provided for CC <-> PTHREAD_CC
        to avoid code & issue duplication.

        ax_gcc_func_attribute.m4: test fails for the fallthrough attribute with clang
        The test for the fallthrough attribute fails due to other compiler
        warnings when using clang.  The following warnings are generated:

           warning: no case matching constant switch condition '0'
           warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

        Because of these additional warnings, the test always results in a
        failure for the fallthrough attribute.

        Update ax_gcc_func_attribute.m4 to eliminate the warnings that are
        masking the test for the fallthrough attribute.

        Note, tested the entire suite of attribute tests using clang and only
        the fallthrough test contained warnings that caused the test to fail.

        ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4: Restore check for default C++ version support
        Commit bbb60ca79952c20ee0b187208533d98206b156d1 removed this check because
        it can't support the user requesting noext.  But if the user didn't specify

        GCC outputs a warning when Wstrict-prototypes is on, in such case the
        attribute detection always fails even if the attribute is actually
        supported. This change checks for the "-Wattributes" warning in
        conftest.err instead of the existence of the file.

        ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4: bump serial to 18 (from 9)

        ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4: add call for AC_CANONICAL_BUILD

2020-02-08  Jannick  <thirdedition@gmx.net>

        ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4: use AC_LANG_PUSH([C]) and AC_LANG_POP([C])
        AC_LANG_PUSH([C]) makes sure that the global configure variables (like
        ac_ext, ac_cpp, ac_compile, ac_link, ac_compiler_gnu) required by the internal
        compile and link functions are defined for the C language for the BUILD
        system.  AC_LANG_POP([C]) ensures that the current language before calling
        AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD is restored.

        AC_LANG_PUSH and AC_LANG_POP are preferable over manually defining the
        global ac_... language-related variables (incl. temporary SAVE variables).

        NOTE that any changes to the set of global variables, language specific variables
        (as defined by AC_LANG_PUSH([C]) and AC_LANG_POP([C])) shall be reflected
        in the pushdef/popdef blocks.

        ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4: bug fix - determine EXEEXT and OBJEXT for BUILD
        Prior to this commit, the variables ac_exeext and ac_objext remain undefined,
        however they are announced to be passed on to Makefile via the variables
        BUILD_EXEEXT and BUILD_OBJEXT.  For defining the former call the macros
        _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT and _AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT using the BUILD compiler.

        NOTE: This commit makes use of the **internal** macros _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT
        and _AC_COMPILER_OBJEXT, which, as of now, appears to be OK if EXEEXT and
        OBJEXT for the BUILD compiler should be determined with AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD.

        ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4: bug fix - run tests with BUILD compiler
        Tested with autoconf 2.69: This is to fix that the compilation tests for
        BUILD use the HOST compiler, regardless of configure's --build flag.

        The compilation test functions in the configure script (like
        'ac_fn_c_try_compile' and 'ac_fn_c_try_cpp') use the global variables
        ac_ext, ac_cpp, ac_compile and ac_link.  Thus, the push&pop technique
        applied prior to this commit implies that the BUILD compilation test
        are run with the HOST compiler.
        Use an old-fashioned variable-save-technique.

        ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4: bug fix - honor configure's --build flag
        Prior to this commit, ./configure --build=BUILD is currently ignored, such
        that gcc found first on PATH is detected for BUILD, regardless of what
        was set in the parameter --build.

        This commit fixes this bug and allows to pass a BUILD platform triplet to
        configure which is different from gcc found first on PATH.

        * ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4:
        - use ac_build_tool_prefix defined to the first non-void variable of
          'build' and 'build_alias' (push and pop).  Note that if configure is not
          called with --build=BUILD, gcc first found on PATH is used for BUILD.

        Note that for GCC and Clang -pthread generally implies -lpthread, except when -nostdlib is passed. This is problematic using libtool to build C++ shared libraries with pthread: [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25460 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661333 [3] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=468555 To solve this, first try -pthread together with -lpthread for GCC and Clang.
        Changes:
        - added support for combination "cflags,ldflags" style option to try
        - check for Clang early
        - for GCC and Clang try "-pthread,-lpthread" first, followed by original options (-pthread, etc.)
        - Perform check for Clang flag to suppress warning when linking with -pthread later
        - removed line "ax_pthread_clang_warning=0" (unused)

        BUG FIX: Fixing a _R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_CONDITION_=true bug
        If a package exists, the test for its existence produces an error with _R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_CONDITION_=true (introduced in R 3.4.0), e.g.

        $ _R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_CONDITION_=true R --silent --vanilla -e 'if(is.na(packageDescription("BH"))) stop("not found")'
        > if(is.na(packageDescription("BH"))) stop("not found")
        Error in if (is.na(packageDescription("BH"))) stop("not found") :
          the condition has length > 1
        Execution halted

        This is because 'is.na(packageDescription("BH"))' resolved to a logical vector of 15(!) FALSE values when package 'BH' is installed.  If it is not installed, then it resolves to TRUE.

        ax_cc_maxopt.m4: retain setting of CFLAGS by configure
        AX_CC_MAXOPT checks whether CFLAGS was set by the user; if so, the user’s
        setting is respected. This behavior is retained, of course.

        However, AX_CC_MAXOPT was then setting CFLAGS="". This overrode the default
        setting by configure, which usually includes -g. Hence, if CFLAGS was not
        set by the user, retain the default setting, to preserve the ability to
        debug.

        A typical default setting from configure is "-g -O2". This means that
        AX_CC_MAXOPT might typically set CFLAGS to "-g -O2 -O3". This is fine,
        because the later -O3 will override the earlier -O2. (The only assumption is
        that all compilers that AX_CC_MAXOPT knows behave in this sane way.)

        Earlier autoconf tests in the [Kyua project](https://github.com/jmmv/kyua)
        enable `-Werror -Wnon-virtual-dtor`, which fails because of the fact that
        the `Base` and `Derived` classes have non-virtual destructors with
        virtual methods. Thus, add a set of virtual destructors for both `Base` and
        `Derived` to quell the error and have `clang++` be properly detected as a
        C++-11 capable compiler.

        Bump serial and add name to copyright for the change.

        ax_cflags_warn_all.m4: Prepend flags instead of appending them
        With many compilers (such as the Intel C compilers), flags specified
        later in the command line override those specified earlier.
        Unfortunately, this means that the user can no longer specify
        warning-related options on the command line.  This patch fixes this issue
        by using AX_PREPEND_FLAG.

        In particular, this patch allows the user to specify "CFLAGS=-w3" on the
        ./configure command line for the Intel C compiler, which will no longer
        be overridden by this macro's "-w2" option.

2019-02-14  John Zaitseff  <J.Zaitseff@zap.org.au>

        ax_prepend_flag.m4: New macro AX_PREPEND_FLAG
        The AX_PREPEND_FLAG macro adds a flag to the front of a flags shell
        variable, similar to how AX_APPEND_FLAG adds such flags to the end.  It
        should be used when adding compiler options that are position dependent:
        where those options that were previously defined (such as by the user on
        the command line) should override thoses added with AX_PREPEND_FLAG.

        ax_cflags_warn_all.m4: Bug fix: modern Intel compilers don't accept "-warn all"

        ax_cflags_warn_all.m4: Bug fix: the PGI compilers do not understand "-Wall"

        ax_cflags_warn_all.m4: Rewrite AX_FLAGS_WARN_ALL to use AX_COMPILER_VENDOR
        Using AX_COMPILER_VENDOR allows significantly more robust selection of
        appropriate compiler flags.  In the old code, for example, the Sun
        (Oracle) Compiler Suite would accept Intel's "-warn all" detection, with
        rather disastrous results.

        All current compiler flags are incorporated into the new code without
        modification.

        AX_PTHREAD: avoid a -Wunused-variable warning on PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT
        The PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT check can trigger a -Wunused-variable warning, which
        can be turned into an error when -Werror is used, with the consequence that
        PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT appears to be missing.

        Identify xlc from version 16 on as `ibm` and not as `clang`.
        xlc from version 16 on does neither define __xlc__, __xlC__, __IBMC__, nor
        __IBMCPP__ by default. Thus, it does not identify as vendor ibm but as clang.
        It does define __ibmxl__, though. Adding this macro to the list of ibm macros
        identifies xlc as ibm again.

        ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4: Drop the check for default C++ version support
        The problem with the check is that it can't detect whether the version
        is with extensions or not. So it can't take the "noext" or "ext"
        option into account.

        This may be a problem when an extended version of C++ has a feature
        that conflicts with another feature from the C++ standard and we have
        no way to tell the macro to add a "-std" flag anyway.

        An example:

            using namespace std::complex_literals;
            std::complex<double> c = 1.0;
            c += 1.0i;
            std::cout << "abs" << c << " = " << abs(c) << '\n';

        Here, the "1.0i" constant is either a GCC extension if compiled with
        -std=gnu++14 or a standard C++ operator if compiled with
        -std=c++14. If a GCC extension is used, the snippet fails to
        compile. Unfortunately, recent GCC versions default to gnu++14, so
        this code fails to compile by default.

        Dropping the check forces the macro to evaluate compiler flags with
        taking the "ext"/"noext" option into account.

        Issue spotted by Frédéric Mangano-Tarumi.

        AX_DIST_RPM: various fixes
        - At some point macros was added to aminclude_static.am instead of
          aminclude.am. Change description.

        - Inserted make conditional so rules don't mess around in subdirectories.
          Putting .spec files here via dist-hook breaks rpmbuild.

        - Run gawk with LC_ALL=C to produce english dates in RPMChangeLog understood by
          rpmbuild.

        - Escape $PLATFORM_SUFFIX so variable given at configure time is used instead
          of env variable present at the time aclocal is run.

        - Change .i. to just .. in rpm target. i* was probably meant to match i386 but
          does not match x86_64.

        If there is any suggestions to improving this just let me know. The check for
        being at the top-level makefile seems a bit ugly but I can't come up with a
        better solution. Checking for MAKELEVEL == 0 doesn't work.

        AX_GCC_ARCHFLAG: update Broadwell CPUID patterns.

2018-01-10  Alexey Kopytov  <akopytov@gmail.com>

        AX_GCC_ARCHFLAG: update Broadwell CPUID patterns.
        Update Broadwell patterns in ax_gcc_archflag.m4 to match Intel
        documentation. Per "Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
        Developer’s Manual", Vol. 4, Table 2-1 "CPUID Signature Values of
        DisplayFamily_DisplayModel" the following Family/Model combinations are
        possible for Broadwell CPUs:

        - 06_3DH
        - 06_47H
        - 06_4FH
        - 06_56H

        Before this patch only the first combination was recognized, with all
        other Broadwell models falling into the '*??6??:*:*:*' case
        corresponding to Core 2.

        Fix crossbuild for AX_BOOST_BASE
        gource fails to cross build from source for wicked reasons. It
        terminates with:

        | Could not link against -lGLU !

        But that is a red herring. GLU is found. It just happens that ax_lib
        contains something old. The problem here is that BOOSTLIBDIR ends up
        being empty. It is derived from BOOST_LDFLAGS e.g. in AX_BOOST_SYSTEM or
        AX_BOOST_FILESYSTEM. Those latter macros expect that BOOST_LDFLAGS
        contains a -L flag. That flag goes missing during cross compilation. In
        AC_BOOST_BASE, the variable "libsubdirs" is properly set up to contain
        the multiarch libdir of the host architecture first. However, it is only
        searched for native compilation. For Debian systems, removing the cross
        compiling guard would likely resolve the issue. I'm less sure that this
        is universally correct though. Maybe a good solution would be to split
        "libsubdirs" into the multiarch directory (which would always be
        searched) and the others, which would only be searched for native
        compilation. I am attaching a patch for this approach.

        AX_PROG_HELP2MAN: new macro

        sets various variables for use in configure or Makefile.am files.

        AX_BOOST_BASE: Make tests more portable.
        This commit makes `test` calls in AX_BOOST_BASE more uniform.
        Comparisons with the empty string are replaced with the `-n` and `-z`
        arguments. Comparisons with non-empty strings are done in the common portable
        way (e.g. `test "x$succeesed" = "xyes"`). The fragile `-a` argument is
        replaced by `&&`.

        AX_BOOST_BASE: Fix missing BOOST_LDFLAGS.
        AX_BOOST_BASE first checks if Boost is installed in a standard location
        and sets BOOST_CPPFLAGS and BOOST_LDFLAGS accordingly.

        If Boost cannot be found, these variables are reset. Further proceedings
        depend on whether the actual location was passed in via
        --with-boost=<path> or not. If it was, BOOST_CPPFLAGS is determined
        automatically based on the given path. This automatic detection, however, did
        not include BOOST_LDFLAGS.

        Consequently, if Boost is in a non-standard location that is given via
        --with-boost, the user would also have to specify --with-boost-libdir.

        This commit fixes this issue by also determining BOOST_LDFLAGS
        automatically in this particular branch of execution. The performed
        check is very similar to the one done in various other locations of the
        macro.

        AX_PYTHON_DEVEL: Swap values of PYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS, PYTHON_EXTRA_LDFLAGS
        The LIBS and SYSLIBS Python configuration variables are lists of
        libraries, with typical values (on Debian GNU/Linux) being

            LIBS = -lpthread -ldl -lutil
            SYSLIBS = -lm

        so they should clearly be in a LIBS variable, not LDFLAGS.
        Conversely, the LINKFORSHARED Python configuration variable contains
        miscellaneous linker options, with its value on Debian being

            -Xlinker -export-dynamic -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions

        so it should be in the LDFLAGS.

        This matters when linking statically or using a particularly
        pedantic linker: LDFLAGS appear on the linker command-line before
        the object files to be linked and (with some linkers) cannot satisfy
        undefined symbols, whereas LIBS appear after the object files in
        dependency order.

2017-04-21  Harenome Ranaivoarivony-Razanajato  <ranaivoarivony-razanajato@hareno.me>

        AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE: new macro
        AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE is a macro akin to AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS which allows
        to run other configure scripts. AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE attempts to follow
        the same rules as AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS such as:

        - command line arguments from the parent configure script are given to
          the child configure script.
        - some arguments are modified (for instance `--cache-file`, `--srcdir`)

        However, as opposed to AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS, AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE takes 4
        additional parameters which correspond to:

        - arguments that must always be passed down to child configure scripts.
        - arguments that may be merged with existing arguments.
        - arguments that must replace existing arguments.
        - arguments that must never be passed to the configure scripts.

        Subdirectories recorded with AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE are added to the new
        `subdirs_extra` variable instead of `subdirs`.

        ax_valgrind_check: Don't eat check-valgrind errors
        Currently, after running 'make check-valgrind', $? will always be 0 even
        if there was an error during the test. This differs from make check
        which will return a non-0 exit code when there was a test failure, and
        gets in the way of using 'make check-valgrind' during CI.

        This commit switches from using make -k on each individual target to
        running make -k on all the targets at once. This way, we will run the
        tests for all targets even if one fails, while still reporting a non-0
        exit code if there was a test failure.

        The standard AC_C_BIGENDIAN has supported cross-compiling since 2002
        as part of its 2.53 release.  There's no need to include the AX macro
        anymore.

        Improve AX_CHECK_ALIGNED_ACCESS_REQUIRED
        Square brackets were overquoted. Avoid square brackets, use quadrigraph
        for "#".

        Invert the logic so that a crash in the test would count as "yes" for the
        aligned address requirement.

        When cross-compiling, assume that address alignment is needed, warn the
        user.

        Use AC_RUN_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM, they use sane quoting and take
        care of the main function.

        Don't include stdio.h, it's not needed for malloc() or anything else.

        AX_CHECK_ENABLE_DEBUG: Do not conflict with -DNDEBUG
        Since -DNDEBUG is equivalent to "#define NDEBUG 1", explicitly set
        the value to ensure that both definitions are equivalent and won't
        lead to compiler warnings.

        This makes AX_CHECK_ENABLE_DEBUG compatible with AX_CODE_COVERAGE, as
        the latter causes -DNDEBUG to be set.

        In particular, if AX_COMPILER_FLAGS is also used and thus -Werror
        is set (which is the default in that case) this avoids the following
        build failure:

        ./config.h:38:0: error: "NDEBUG" redefined [-Werror]

        AX_BOOST_THREAD: support for more platforms
        The current ax_boost_thread.m4 macro can fail on some platforms and this change
        improves its support. I don't remember the exact platforms that fail with the
        current version (without this patch), but I think Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS on aarch64
        had problems. I know it was a newer release of Ubuntu and possibly past FreeBSD
        usage, though I made these changes locally more than 1 year ago.

        This patch also changes whitespace because it was hard to discern the intended
        indentation in places (it appeared like previous authors didn't care).

        cleanup Java macros (remove binary blobs)
        This patch removes opaque binary usage within the java macros. It is very
        disturbing that binary data was included in these macros. I confirmed that the
        binary data matched the comments, however, future changes could easily make
        them deviate, making it very easy to insert arbitrary source code into any
        project.

        I also removed usage of the -r flag from rm usage which didn't make sense.

        The history of this module[1][2][3][4] does not reveal a rationale for

        ax_code_coverage: avoid GNU Make extensions
        ifeq/ifneq is a GNU Make extension which doesn't work with BSD Make and

            warning: duplicate script for target "ifeq" ignored

        Although it would be preferable to use the Automake conditionals
        (AM_CONDITIONAL) in the make rules, this does not appear to be possible
        within AC_SUBST content.  Instead, build the rules using shell variable
        concatenation and only AC_SUBST the ones which should be used.

        ax_compiler_flags_*: fix underquoting causing infinite recursion
        These macros would fail with infinite recursion if used twice for the
        same variable, for example

            AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CFLAGS([WARN_CFLAGS], ... some options ...)
            AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CFLAGS([WARN_CFLAGS], ... more options ...)

        In particular, invoking AX_COMPILER_FLAGS, followed by
        AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CFLAGS with more "yes" options has this failure mode.

        This is because the first time through the macro, we define
        ax_warn_cflags_variable = "WARN_CFLAGS" as expected. The second time,
        because the first parameter is underquoted, its value is substituted
        before calling m4_define, so we inadvertently define
        WARN_CFLAGS = "WARN_CFLAGS". The next time WARN_CFLAGS is mentioned,
        attempts to expand it will recurse forever, because m4 does not
        special-case a macro that appears in its own expansion like cpp does.

        AX_OPEN62541_PATH: set AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS
        When configuring --with-open62541=<path>, the make distcheck target
        often failed because the open62541 library was not found on the system.

        So set the AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable with the required
        values (absolute paths in case the user defined relative paths).

        AX_OPEN62541_PATH: fix use of non-inst shared lib
        If the open62541 library is not installed and the shared library is to
        be used, the --with-open62541=<path> option to contigure setting
        CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS is not enough: other checks by configure may
        compile test binaries with the library linked in and then try to execute
        then. The execution fails because of the not found shared library object
        and gives a wrong test result. Likewise, some make targets (like check)
        need to execute compiled binaries.

        So modify AX_OPEN62541_PATH() so it exports LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the
        absolute path of the build dir for the rest of the configure script to
        use and define a Makefile variable OPEN62541_LDPATH, which contains
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<abs_path_to_build>.

        AX_COUNT_CPUS: rewritten and updated additional detection methods Completely new additional detection method added for Darwin, FreeBSD and Solaris. Updated additional methods for Linux, MinGW/MSys, Msys2 and Cygwin.

        AX_COUNT_CPUS: added generic and new specific detection for various platforms. Generic detection should work on many current platforms Added platform-specific detection methods for Solaris, FreeBSD and MSys2 Added improved and stable detection methods for Linux, Darwin, MinGW/MSys2 and Cygwin

        AX_COUNT_CPUS: added real detection on MinGW

        AX_COUNT_CPUS: added protection from garbage in CPU_COUNT

        ax_check_girs_gjs: Fix misleading error message
        The error message printed when this macro failed to find what it was
        looking for, was misleading: it implied that if you were looking for the
        Gtk-1.0 API then installing the Gtk-3.0 API would do. That isn't the
        case, so fix the message.

2016-03-30  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_PROG_DOXYGEN: cleanup doxygen_sqlite3.db
        Add the file doxygen_sqlite3.db to DX_CLEANFILES. This file is
        generated by (some?) newer versions of doxygen.

        AX_CODE_COVERAGE: fix problems with (dist)clean
         * Make the find command actually remove any *.gcda files left over
           by lcov -z

         * Make distclean remove all code-coverage-clean files as well

        AX_VALGRIND_CHECK: make disabling configurable
        Add a new command AX_VALGRIND_DFLT() to configure the use of
        individual valgrind tools in the configure.ac file. These settings
        can still be overwritten on the configure commandline.

2016-03-29  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_VALGRIND_CHECK: add disabling individual tools
        Add support for the configure options:
        --disable-valgrind-drd
        --disable-valgrind-helgrind
        --disable-valgrind-memcheck
        --disable-valgrind-sgcheck

        These can be used to fine-tune which Valgrind tools to use.

2016-03-29  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_VALGRIND_CHECK: support silent rules
        Use the standard autoconf $(V) variable to conditionally hide the
        commands executed for check-valgrind: this makes the output from any
        test script much more apparent as it is not hidden in clutter.

        Hide the outer list of commands in check-valgrind completely with
        $(AM_V_at) and define a new $(valgrind_v_use) for the individual
        check-valgrind-* calls. The $(valgrind_v_use) call writes:

          USE    $(patsubst check-valgrind-%,%,$@):

        Note that this only works inside rules of the form check-valgrind-* .

2016-03-29  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_VALGRIND_CHECK: refactor new tool-rules
        The addition of individual rules for each individual valgrind-tool
        caused some copy&paste codeing: refactor that as a GNU make canned
        recipe. Also fix up the .PHONY rules.

        Breaking change: removes the undocumented internal rule
        check-valgrind-tool.

        macros for X86 instruction set tests
        Added two macros: ax_check_x86_features.m4, and ax_gcc_x86_cpu_supports.m4

        It checks if the host cpu supports various instruction set: mmx, sse, popcnt,
        avx, avx2, etc. If the instruction were supported, it would export
        HAVE_XXX_INSTRUCTIONS C preprocessor macros and add the instruction set flag to
        X86_FEATURES_CFLAGS variable. By default it would also set CFLAGS, but this can
        be disabled by the ACTION-IF-FOUND hook.

2016-03-20  Luca Boccassi  <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>

        ax_valgrind_check: add a target for each tool
        Often not all tools can be ran cleanly on a codebase. This means that
        make check-valgrind will never complete successfully, which is a
        problem especially when using ax_valgrind_check on a continous
        integration system.

        Fix ax_restore/save_flags_with_prefix.m4
        Need to use AC_DEFUN instead of m4_define

2016-03-09  dryman  <idryman@gmail.com>

        Improved three opengl autoconf macros
        Main features added:
        - Support action-if-found and not-found hook
        - Export HAVE_GL, HAVE_GLU, and HAVE_GLUT preprocessor symbol
        - Add necessary flags to CFLAGS/LIBS by default, but can be disabled by
          overwritting action-if-found hook.
        - Fail the configure script if lib not found. This feature can be disabled by
          overwritting action-if-not-found hook
        - Fix problems on Mac OSX. Been tested on Linux (Ubuntu) and OSX
        - Use --with-xquartz-gl instead of --with-gl=x for using X11 on OSX

        Two new macros added:
        - ax_save_flags_with_prefix.m4: save flags and pushes flag with prefix to the
          flag.
          AX_SAVE_FLAGS_WITH_PREFIX([GL],[[CFLAGS],[LIBS]]) would expands to
            gl_saved_flag_cflags="$CFLAGS"
            gl_saved_flag_libs="$LIBS"
            CFLAGS="$GL_CFLAGS $CFLAGS"
            LIBS="$GL_LIBS $LIBS"
        - ax_restore_flags_with_prefix.m4: restore the flags.

2016-03-05  Luca Boccassi  <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>

        AX_VALGRIND_CHECK: fix logic around AC_CHECK_PROG
        There are two problems in the logic around the first AC_CHECK_PROG()
        call:

        1. If AC_CHECK_PROG() fails to find valgrind, with neither configure
           option --enable-valgrind nor --disable-valgrind, then the
           enable_valgrind variable ends up being set incorrectly to yes.

        2. If configure was started with --disable-valgrind, then there is no need
           to run AC_CHECK_PROG() at all.

2016-03-03  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_VALGRIND_CHECK: clean up configure message
        When running configure, the displayed text contained two interleaved
        messages. Got:

        checking whether to enable Valgrind on the unit tests... checking for valgrind... valgrind
        yes

        instead of the probably intended:

        checking whether to enable Valgrind on the unit tests... yes
        checking for valgrind... valgrind

        In addition, the first message seems to convey no additional information
        compared to the second message: if valgrind is not found (and there is no
        --enable-valgrind error), then the result of the check is "no" as
        displayed for the executable check. And in all other cases, the result is
        "yes". So remove the first message completely: this takes care of the
        mangled status messages.

        AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX: don't break "make CXXFLAGS=..."
        Make C++ std-selection macros modify $(CXX), not $(CXXFLAGS).

        Using $(CXXFLAGS) prevents users from being able to
        rebuild with different CXXFLAGS (e.g.: to try out
        different optimisations or to change debug levels)
        unless they re-run ./configure with their CFLAGS.

        This is more like what the mainline Autoconf macros do
        (e.g.: AC_PROG_CC_C99, AC_PROG_CC_STD, etc. modify $(CC),
        not $(CCFLAGS)), presmuably for much the same reasons:
        if you need to specify a standard to the compiler,
        it doesn't really make sense to separate that from
        $(CC)/$(CXX) since $(CC)/$(CXX) aren't usable without it.

        AX_CODE_COVERAGE: fix invalid chars in testname
        There was a warning about invalid characters in the testname from
        lcov: anything except letters, digits and the underscore causes
        this. So replace such characters with underscores (lcov does this
        anyway if we don't).

        Needs to either call $(subst ) for each undesired character or
        needs to execute a system command because GNU make does not
        provide regular expressions. Chose here to implement characters
        individually. Currently only strips dots and dashes, but these
        should be the most common culprits.

2016-02-26  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_CODE_COVERAGE: add BRANCH_COVERAGE variable
        Add a new CODE_COVERAGE_BRANCH_COVERAGE variable that can be used
        to provide --rc lcov_branch_coverage=[01] options to lcov and
        --rc genhtml_branch_coverage=[01] options to genhtml. These may be
        desirable to the user since the default for branch coverage changed
        in some "recent" lcov version.

        This is achieved by adding a LCOV_SHOPTS variable (for SHared
        OPTionS) to the default LCOV_OPTIONS one. And the filtering call of
        lcov gets a symmetric LCOV_RMOPTS variable (which is currently
        empty).

        In addition, ensure that all LCOV_{SHOPTS,OPTIONS,RMOPTS} and
        GENHTML_OPTIONS have a corresponding _DEFAULT variable: this became
        desirable here because of the new defaults for LCOV_SHOPTS and
        GENHTML_OPTIONS; the LCOV_RMOPTS_DEFAULT is there only for
        symmetry.

        Fix second pass bug in _AX_WITH_CURSES_CHECKEXTRA
        Found bug where when _AX_WITH_CURSES_CHECKEXTRA is called a second time
        on the same library, e.g. ncurses, the previous setting of
        _AX_WITH_CURSES_CHECKEXTRA_cv_var to 'yes' would be changed to 'no' just
        due to the tested header file not being available on the second pass.

        This was found when AX_WITH_CURSES has 'with_ncurses' set to 'yes' and
        'with_ncursesw' set to 'no' forcing _AX_WITH_CURSES_CHECKEXTRA to be
        called twice in succession since ax_cv_curses_which is set to 'ncurses'
        and the panel.h header file is tested as ncurses/panel.h and panel.h.

        The system in question is OpenSuSE LEAP 42.1 which installs
        /usr/include/ncurses/panel.h and not /usr/include/panel.h.

        AX_BOOST_PYTHON: Update for the AX_PYTHON_DEVEL change.
        Because AX_PYTHON_DEVEL now provides PYTHON_LIBS instead of PYTHON_FLAGS,
        this script needs to be updated accordingly.
        This lets AX_BOOST_PYTHON actually find the boost python library
        on newer systems that ignore the -l flags if they appear before the
        source file on the command line.

        I'm not sure why I needed to add PYTHON_LIBS to LIBS in the AC_CACHE_CHECK()
        line, though it apparently wasn't necessary to use PYTHON_LDFLAGS there
        before. I suspect that much of this file doesn't really make sense.

        AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS, AX_APPEND_LINK_FLAGS: Optional INPUT arg
        Behaves exactly like the optional INPUT argument of
        AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG, AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG.

        Motivation: I'd like to add -fstack-protector-strong.  The obvious
        solution is AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS([-fstack-protector-strong]).

        Unfortunately, some ports of the GNU toolchain reportedly pass this
        test, then fail to link.  That's because the compiler accepts the
        flag, duly emits references to helper code in libc (on my system:
        ___stack_chk_guard()), but libc doesn't provide, and linking fails.

        The new argument lets me cover this failure mode:

            AX_APPEND_LINK_FLAGS([-fstack-protector-strong], [], [],
                [AC_LANG_SOURCE([[
            int
            main(int argc, char *argv[])
            {
                char arr[64], *dst = arr, *src = argv[0];
                while ((*dst++ = *src++)) ;
            }

        Unify macros for checking C++11/14/... compiler support.
        * m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4: New macro file added.

        (AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX): New macro added.  The code is based on
        the former (serial version number 13) `AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11`
        macro, generalized to check for arbitrary versions of the standard
        selected via an additional argument.

        (_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_testbody_11): New internal macro added.
        Defined in terms of `_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_testbody_new_in_11`.

        (_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_testbody_14): New internal macro added.
        Defined in terms of `_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_testbody_new_in_11`
        and `_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_testbody_new_in_14`.

        (_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_testbody_new_in_11): New internal macro
        added.  Test code to check for features added in C++14.  It is
        based on the code previously found in the
        `_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11_testbody` macro, defined in
        `m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4` but heavily refactored and
        extended with additional checks.

        (_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_testbody_new_in_14): New internal macro
        added.  Test code to check for features added in C++14.

        * m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4:

        (AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11): Make this macro an alias for the new
        `AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX` macro with the version set to C++11.

        (_AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11_testbody): Internal macro deleted.

        * m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_14.m4: New macro file added.

        (AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_14): New macro added.  This macro is an
        alias for the new `AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX` macro with the version
        set to C++14.

        * m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_0x.m4 (AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_0X): Mark
        macro as obsolete.  The macro `AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11` should be
        used instead.  I couldn't test this macro on my system because it
        uses a lot of obsolete macros my Autoconf complains about and

        AX_PROG_DOXYGEN: allow AC_CONFIG_FILES([Doxyfile])
        To allow substitutions in the used Doxyfile, two changes are needed:

        1. also substitute everything put in the environment (except DOCDIR)
        2. allow Doxyfiles to also reside in the builddir

        The latter change is a potentially breaking one! The old behaviour was
        to always prefix $(srcdir)/ to the location provided as the second
        (and forth, sixth, ...) parameter. This needs to be dropped to allow
        for searching in the build directory. To compensate, the default now
        is $(srcdir)/Doxyfile.

        So the following still works:

        DX_INIT_DOXYGEN([foo])
        DX_INIT_DOXYGEN([foo], , [dest-dir])

        While this needs to be changed:
           DX_INIT_DOXYGEN([foo], [Doxyfile])
        -> DX_INIT_DOXYGEN([foo], [$(srcdir)/Doxyfile])

2015-11-23  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_PROG_DOXYGEN: support multiple Doxyfiles
        Allow the DX_INIT_DOXYGEN() macro to take more than one Doxyfile
        and/or output-directory argument. This may be of interest e.g. for
        both public and internal documentation.

        This keeps as much backwards-compatibility as possible: of the
        preexisting variables, only DX_ENV is changed slightly (removed
        DOCDIR).

2015-11-23  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_PROG_DOXYGEN: fix doxygen-ps rule
        In the rule for $(PACKAGE).ps depended on by doxygen-ps the
        undefined variable MAKEINDEX_PATH was used instead of the correct
        variable DX_MAKEINDEX. Fixed.

        AX_PROG_DOXYGEN: add support for silent rules
        Any warnings of Doxygen are much easier to see if there are not
        several lines of commands interspersed.

2015-11-23  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_PROG_DOXYGEN: provide a DX_RULES substitution
        Convert the previously provided aminclude.am snippet in the
        documentation into a AC_SUBST substitution. This allows for easy
        upgrades to the DX_INIT_DOXYGEN macro without the user having to
        manually update the corresponding section of their Makefile.am.

        As autoconf substitutions are not recursive, also convert all
        @DX_DOCDIR@ and @PACKAGE@ substitutions in the snippet to using
        variables. And as AM_CONDITIONAL also relies on substitution,
        remove all AM_CONDITIONAL calls and instead use a separate
        variable for each of the sections previously enclosed in an if-block.

        Add 1.12 to list of lcov versions.

        AX_CODE_COVERAGE: add CPPFLAGS to skip assertions
        The assert() statement is a very helpful tool for quality assurance
        in nearly every kind of software project. But during code coverage
        it unnecessarily decreases the branch coverage percentage as
        assertions should never fail. This is probably not what the user
        expects as the branch contained inside the assert() statement is not
        visible in the code.

        So in a workflow where first the "check" target is run to see if any
        test fails (e.g. because of a failing assertion) and then the code
        coverage is consulted to see how much of the code was exercised, the
        assertions should not be counted.

        Implement this by adding a variable CODE_COVERAGE_CPPFLAGS which is
        defined to -DNDEBUG if CODE_COVERAGE_ENABLED.

2015-10-10  Olaf Mandel  <olaf@mandel.name>

        AX_CODE_COVERAGE: further silence rules for V=0
        Expand on the pre-existing code_coverage_quiet variables that add
        the --quiet option to lcov and genhtml calls if V=0. This way, any
        warnings are much more visible.

        Completely silence builds for V=0:
         * hide the two "outer" make invokations of check-code-coverage
         * display short replacement texts for the three commands inside of
           code-coverage-capture

        AX_PYTHON_DEVEL: provide PYTHON_LIBS, not PYTHON_LDFLAGS
        Because -L and -l are LIBS arguments, not LDFLAGS arguments.
        Calling it PYTHON_LDFLAGS suggested wrongly that they should be
        used in LDFLAGS, which can cause the -L and -l arguments to
        be ignored when they are not in the expected position in the list
        of command line arguments. This is a problem, for instance,
        with the command line generated by AC_LINK_IFELSE.

        ax_compiler_flags: Eliminate ‘minimum’ and ‘maximum’ warning levels
        These went against the whole concept of providing a baseline set of
        warnings which is set by the module maintainer, since it allowed
        individual developers to opt out of certain classes of warning.

        Remove them, leaving the ‘no’, ‘yes’ and ‘error’ levels. This maintains
        API compatibility of the macros by marking various EXTRA-* variables as
        unused, but still handling them, and merging their values with the
        preceding EXTRA-* variables. For example, all extra ‘maximum’ and
        ‘error’ flags are now included in the ‘yes’ level of warnings.

2015-02-23  Philip Withnall  <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>

        ax_compiler_flags: Automate addition of -Wno-error=* flags
        We need to add a -Wno-error=* flag for each -Wno-* flag as some
        compilers will re-enable the warning as an error if -Wall is passed in
        the user’s CFLAGS after we’ve specific -Werror.

        Previously this was done manually for the -Wno-* flags in
        AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CFLAGS and AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CXXFLAGS. However, this
        ignored the cases where the user was passing -Wno-* flags as extra-flags
        to the macros.

        Factor this out and automate it so -Wno-error=* flags will be tested and
        appended for any -Wno-* flag specified by the user in extra-flags.

2015-02-23  Philip Withnall  <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>

        ax_compiler_flags_cflags: Remove -Waggregate-return
        Historically, this flag has been used because certain old C compilers
        didn’t support it — that’s not really relevant any more. It was also
        used to warn the developer about the potential for overflowing the
        stack. However, I believe the benefits of being able to pass small
        structures (e.g. a GdkRectangle) by value outweights the likelihood of
        putting a huge structure on the stack and overflowing it.

        Within GNOME, a coding standard exists to not return aggregates by value
        because it is hard to generate introspected bindings for such code.
        g-ir-scanner should warn about this instead.

        ax_compiler_flags: Only check for C++ if AC_PROG_CXX is called
        The previous behavior of the macro was to use a C compiler, but when C++
        support was added, it created an unconditional dependency on a C++
        compiler. This is undesirable for most C projects, and slows down
        configure considerably by adding unnecessary checks.

        Add an internal _AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_LANG macro, with the desired language
        as the first argument. Only require the macro for the corresponding
        compiler warning flags if AC_PROG_lang has been called. Enable C support
        by default.

        adds the FLAG also when the variable contains FLAG. I traced down the
        altered behaviour to the two lines

         [case " AS_VAR_GET(FLAGS) " in
            *" $1 "*)

        which have changed to

          AS_CASE([AS_VAR_GET(FLAGS)],
            ["* $1 *|*$1"]

        besides that AS_CASE is used (which is good imho) the pattern has
        changed and the space around FLAGS in the first argument of AS_CASE has
        gone. This means that e.g. if FLAGS is "alpha beta gamma" that will not
        match the pattern "* $1 *|*$1" for $1 being any of 'alpha', 'beta', or
        'gamma'. I think that is unexpected behaviour.

        This patch restores the original semantics.

        ax_compiler_flags: Disable specific flags as errors as well as warnings
        See the new comments for details. Disable specific flags (which were
        already disabled) as errors as well as warnings, to prevent -Wall from a
        build bot effectively re-enabling them as errors.

        ax_compiler_flags: Add C++ compiler warning checks

2015-02-05  David King  <dking@redhat.com>

        ax_compiler_flags: Adapt for AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CXXFLAGS
        Use the new AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CXXFLAGS macro in AX_COMPILER_FLAGS to
        test for available C++ compiler warning options, and AC_SUBST them as
        WARN_CXXFLAGS. Pass the EXTRA-*-CFLAGS variables to
        AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CXXFLAGS, to avoid an explosion of arguments, and as
        most C++ warnings are also valid C warnings.

2015-02-05  David King  <dking@redhat.com>

        ax_compiler_flags_cxxflags: Add new macro for C++ compiler warnings
        Add a new AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CXXFLAGS macro, which acts similarly to
        AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CFLAGS, but for the C++ compiler.

        Modify the default set of warnings slightly, to remove
        -Waggregate-return, because using it makes it difficult to write
        idiomatic C++ code. Add -Wno-overloaded-virtual as a C++-specific
        warning. Remove C-specific warnings such as -Wnested-externs,
        -Wmissing-prototypes, -Wstrict-prototypes,
        -Wdeclaration-after-statement, -Wold-style-definition and
        -Wimplicit-function-declaration.

        ax_is_release: Add AX_IS_RELEASE to check for compiling release tarballs
        This is a macro providing various different policies for determining
        whether the code being configured and compiled is from a stable release,
        or from a development version. This allows various configuration
        settings, such as whether debug is enabled, to be disabled for stable
        releases.

        A typical example of a policy is to enable stable releases when the .git
        directory is not present.

        Test that we can actually #include <omp.h> successfully, not just prototype an OpenMP function.
        This original version of this configure test actually passes on Apple
        LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.51) (based on LLVM 3.5svn), which
        doesn't support OpenMP but also doesn't barf when passed -fopenmp.
        This can lead to a false positive in codes which need to include the
        omp.h header.  The new version of the test addresses this issue.

        ax_compiler_flags_gir: Add a compiler flags macro for g-ir-scanner
        g-ir-scanner is a tool used within a lot of GNOME projects to generate
        introspection data from C APIs. It has a couple of warning flags (and is
        not likely to gain any more in the future), and chaining them to
        --enable-compile-warnings would be useful.

        Integrate AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_GIR into AX_COMPILER_FLAGS so that it’s
        enabled by default.

2015-01-26  Philip Withnall  <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>

        ax_compiler_flags: Split out into separate macros per tool
        Unfortunately, the API for AX_COMPILER_FLAGS does not scale for more
        than two tools, due to the number of parameters required.

        Without breaking API, split AX_COMPILER_FLAGS out into:
         • AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CFLAGS
         • AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_LDFLAGS
        and use both of these in the implementation of AX_COMPILER_FLAGS.

        This means that support for a new tool can be implemented as a separate
        macro, and used inside AX_COMPILER_FLAGS if deemed necessary, without
        necessarily needing to add new EXTRA-* parameters for it — if people
        want to add extra parameters for the tool, they can invoke
        AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_* manually.

        been specified. It is assumed that very few invocations do this.

        Add the log files to MOSTLYCLEANFILES and take the opportunity to
        refactor the code a little to reduce duplication for different Valgrind

        Note that the valgrind_*_flags variables are necessary because the
        sgcheck tool has an odd --tool=exp-sgcheck argument, rather than
        --tool=sgcheck. This is because it is experimental. I want the
        autoconf macro to consistently refer to it as sgcheck so that nothing

        AX_LIB_HDF5: remove extra space from include path flag
        The code parsing the output of h5cc for the "Installation point:" results in an

        path flag into two tokens, e.g., "-I" and "/usr/include". While this may be
        legal and doesn't affect the compilation, it does break some library
        tools (e.g., when the macro is used in building a dynamic library that uses

        Bug fix and improvements to ax_f90_library.m4.
        1) The message uses a lower case "f" for the word fortran. However
           most other autoconf macros use "F".

        2) The search path prepends $prefix, yet does not check to see
           if this "NONE" (the default). When it is NONE, the find command
           complains (as a directory called NONE normally does not exist).

        3) Removed a white space between the "-L" and the directory for
           the LDFLAGS search path.

        4) The "action-found" and "action-not-found" logic was incorrect.
           The default test is for not found, which would execute the users
           supplied found action. Swapped these around.

        replaced the old hacks and heuristics with clean code that uses a Qt 5
        pro file to detect Qt's parameters from $PATH and qmake. Qt 4 and
        earlier do not support this kind of introspection, but any version of
        Qt can still be used by explicitly specifying its parameters.

        AX_LIB_HDF5: add support for recognizing HDF5 built with ccache
        The ax_lib_hdf5.m4 autoconf macro uses awk to determine which compiler was used
        to build HDF5. This fails if HDF5 was built using ccache because "ccache" is
        then used as HDF5_CC instead of the actual compiler wrapped by ccache. The
        attached patch fixes that.

        AX_EXECINFO: new macro to test execinfo size type
        <execinfo.h> has been available on a number of systems now, but unfortunately
        different systems use different types to represent the size of the backtrace,
        with netBSD and FreeBSD using size_t and Linux, Mac OS X. To build calls that
        work with both implementations without warning, this macro not only checks if
        the execinfo header is available but also what type is used for the len
        argument of backtrace_symbols and the return value of backtrace.

        All in all this macro defines

            HAVE_EXECINFO_H if execinfo.h can be included,
            backtrace_size_t to the len argument type, i.e. int or size_t,
            HAVE_BACKTRACE to 1 if the function can be linked to,

        and append any library needed to LIBS (e.g. some BSD's need -lexecinfo).

        M4sugar and M4sh added to AX_PROG_JAR, AX_PROG_JAVA, AX_PROG_JAVAC, and AX_PROG_JAVADOC. Also fixed a path discrepancy with AX_JAVA_OPTIONS.
        The discrepancy is AX_JAVA_OPTIONS sets up a variable JAVAPREFIX
        which is described to the user as the "prefix where the Java runtime
        is installed".  Unfortunately, that directory doesn't contain any
        executables, but $JAVAPREFIX/bin does.

        This incorrect path was passed in the value-if-not-found parameter
        of AC_CHECK_PROGS which is incorrect.  I fixed the path and pass it
        in to the path parameter.

        In cases where we want to require that a macro exists, but not call it,

        AX_EXT: determine if the OS actually supports AVX
        AX_EXT checks for different SIMD variants on a CPU. It checks for AVX, but
        doesn't go far enough to actually be useful in some cases. It is possible to be
        on a CPU with AVX support and the OS doesn't support it. We should be checking
        that such support exists. This is via an additional check of cpuinfo's ECX
        register bit 27. Then one needs to call xgetbv and if EAX&0b110 = 0b110 then
        AVX is supported by the CPU and OS.

        AX_ZONEINFO: improve portability
        This patch improves portability of ax_zoneinfo.m4 shell code. Backticks
        are used instead of $(...) subshelling. Generated temporary files are
        deleted after use. Quoting inside backtick assignments is done properly.
        For convenience an AC_ARG_VAR is provided so users can set TZDIR on the
        configure line.

        Further details are at <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/index.php?8029>.

        AX_ENABLE_DEFAULT_ACLOCALDIR: fix configure flag
        The first arg to AC_ARG_ENABLE needs to omit the "enable"/"disable" part.
        Otherwise the current code ends up using the flags:

                --enable-enable-default-aclocaldir
                --disable-enable-default-aclocaldir

        Also convert to AS_HELP_STRING to keep the help string simple.

        AX_CHECK_GL: avoid use of non-ASCII characters in the macro documentation

2013-04-01  Hib Eris  <hib@hiberis.nl>

        Do not use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM in ax_prog_c{c,xx}_for_build.m4
        AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM requires AC_CANONICAL_TARGET which is bad
        practice for packages that do not build compilers.

        Using AC_CANONICAL_HOST performs only the subset of AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM
        relevant to the host type.

        AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11: test code now includes the "auto" keyword
        Furthermore, the macro now uses AC_LANG_PUSH/POP rather than AC_LANG_ASSERT,
        which makes it more robust to use.

        An optional second argument makes it possible to test for C++11 and return the
        result with an AC_DEFINE/AC_SUBST/AM_CONDITIONAL without erroring out if
        support is not found.

        This new version should be nearly backwards-compatible with the old; the
        obvious exception being when compilers which implement a subset of C++11 not
        including "auto" are used with codes for which that subset would have been
        sufficient.

        AX_OPENMP: fix Mac OS X support
        The macro was failing to detect the OpenMP flags for g++ on Mac OS 10.7 because
        the AC_TRY_LINK test program was failing to link:

          Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
            "_gomp_thread_attr", referenced from:
                _initialize_env in libgomp.a(env.o)
          ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
          collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

        As explained at [1], without resorting to a non-portable hack, the test program
        needs to actually use an OMP pragma.

        AX_PROG_CXX_FOR_BUILD: Initial version
        Add an AX_PROG_CXX_FOR_BUILD macro based on AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD that
        tries to detect the C++ compiler to use for the build host when cross-
        compiling.

2013-01-04  Thierry Reding  <thierry.reding@avionic-design.de>

        Unbreak AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD
        Instead of pushing the cross_compiling and ac_tool_prefix definitions,
        override them by assignment. Pushing the definition will cause the
        variable names to be replaced instead of the content.

        While at it, remove the AC_TRY_COMPILER redefinition as it was removed
        in autoconf 2.50. Also push LDFLAGS to prevent flags specific to the
        host tools from leaking into the build tools. Furthermore, consistently
        pop definitions in the reverse order than they were pushed.

        ax_lua.m4: major update
        AX_LUA_VERSION is removed (use AX_PROG_LUA instead)

        AX_PROG_LUA now takes version numbers in the form output by the Lua
        interpreter, and uses AX_COMPARE_VERSION (AX_LUA_HEADERS_VERSION
        continues to take the form used in the headers).

        Use just one style of testing empty strings consistently.

        Put the macros in the source in the same order as in the
        documentation, which is a more logical order.

        Bump the serial number to 17.

        AX_BLAS: improve the detection of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL)
        New versions of the MKL cannot be linked with "-lmkl -lguide -lpthread", but
        instead require variations on "-lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core
        -lpthread",depending on architecture, compiler & other variables. See
        <http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-link-line-advisor/>.

        The present patch detects the architecture (x86_64 or i686) and compiler
        (gfortran or others), but not the interface layer (assumes lp64 for x86_64),
        threading (assumes sequential), static vs. dynamic (assumes dynamic), etc.

        Tested on a number of different systems using gfortran and ifort.

        AX_CHECK_POSTGRES_DB: version bump and cosmetic

2012-09-07  Olivier Mehani  <olivier.mehani@nicta.com.au>

        Add -Idir to CPPFLAGS rather than CFLAGS

2012-09-07  Olivier Mehani  <olivier.mehani@nicta.com.au>

        Substantial rewrite of AX_CHECK_POSTGRES_DB.
        It still behaves the same by default, AC_DEFINing HAVE_LIBPQ and setting
        variables PQINCPATH and PQLIBPATH, while erroring when either header or
        library is found in the default or specified paths.

        The logic is however different, where the specified prefixes and/or
        incdir and libdir are temporarily added to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. The
        normal detection logic (AC_CHECK_HEADER and AC_CHECK_LIB) is used next,
        only, and once.

        In addition, two optional arguments to the macro, ACTION-IF-FOUND and
        ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND are now available to extend the logic. The default
        ACTION-IF-FOUND is to do nothing (apart from defining the variables and
        substitutions, which is always done). The default ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is
        to error out; it is replaced by the ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND if specified
        to, e.g., gracefully remove configure PGSQL out when it's only optional.

        Bump serial from 5 to 6.

        AX_BOOST_SYSTEM, AX_BOOST_FILESYSTEM: inverse the order of search for libraries
        With the original macros, the oldest versioned library is used, but
        for most distribution this is detrimental, as the old versions are
        kept for compatibility, and not to be linked against. By using tac we
        reverse the order of the libraries, preferring an unversioned one
        (usually the latest available on the system), and then proceeding in
        descending order.

        Together with this, also try to simplify the sed syntax. It's of note
        that even though tac might not be very portable, the sed syntax used
        is also not so portable, so it might be worth working this around in a
        different way.

        AX_CHECK_ZLIB: cosmetic indentation fix
        Adding some quoting and replacing "test x -a y" with more portable
        "test x && test y".

        AX_CHECK_ZLIB: change the behavior so macro proceeds to compile and link tests even if zlib.h was not found in the "usual locations". If end-user has provided CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS as needed for compilation/linking to succeed, there is no reason to error out.

        AX_CHECK_ZLIB: fix help output so it is inline with other macros that uses AS_HELP_STRING.

        AX_CHECK_ZLIB: extend the interface to the typical ([action-if-found], [action-if-not-found])-style, so user can define how macro should behave when macro is successful or failed. If not provided the macro will behave as previously. I also clarified in DESCRIPTION what this behaviour is.

        AX_CHECK_ZLIB: the current version only looks for zlib if --with-zlib was provided [by user]. This patch changes that so the search and test are also performed in default mode.

2012-06-18  Mike Frysinger  <vapier@gentoo.org>

        AC_REQUIRE AX_APPEND_FLAG when appropriate.
        A bunch of m4 files use AX_APPEND_FLAG, but don't AC_REQUIRE, which
        can lead to runtime errors instead of compile time errors when the
        macro is missing.

        AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11: new submission
        This is a revised version of AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_0X. The major changes
        are:

         - Automatically sets CXXFLAGS to enable support for C++11, and errors out if
           no C++11 mode can be found. (Note: currently only supports GCC-style -std=
           switches.) Does not define any preprocessor macros.

         - Support for other compilers' mode switches will be much easier to add.

         - Can be instructed to avoid using C++11-with-extensions compilation modes, or
           C++11-without-extensions modes, as appropriate.

         - Autoupdate clean.

         - Better AC_MSG_CHECKING messages.

         - Consistently refers to C++11 rather than C++0x.

        See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7734> for further details.

        AX_CHECK_LIBRARY: do not use m4_ifnblank
        m4_ifnblank requires autoconf 2.64, and doesn’t seem necessary here.

2012-04-04  Markus Elfring  <Markus.Elfring@web.de>

        AX_PTHREAD: deletion of unreferenced variable "host_cpu"
        The CPU did not play a role in the current setting adjustments by this script.
        The variable "host_cpu" was therefore deleted and the corresponding pattern
        selection was a bit simplified.

        AX_BERKELEY_DB_CXX: Add 'AC_LANG_ASSERT(C++)' (as suggested by Amir Taaki, thanks!).
        This will basically improve the error reporting when the macro is called
        without LANG=C++; is also suggested in autoconf documentation (see:

        AX_PROG_DOXYGEN: cleaned up use of AM_CONDITIONAL
        Previously, calls to AM_CONDITIONAL were inside shell flow control
        structures. The automake manual notes that running AM_CONDITIONAL
        conditionally will confuse automake. In this case, later use of the
        AM_COND_IF to check if Doxygen was found would result in the
        conditional appearing to be false, even if it's not.

        AX_LIB_HDF5: HAVE_HDF5 was defined even when the library is not detected
        The following codes are executed unless --without-hdf5 is used, even
        when the HDF5 library is not installed or detected:

          AC_SUBST([HDF5_VERSION])
          AC_SUBST([HDF5_CFLAGS])
          AC_SUBST([HDF5_CPPFLAGS])
          AC_SUBST([HDF5_LDFLAGS])
          AC_SUBST([HDF5_FFLAGS])
          AC_SUBST([HDF5_FLIBS])
          AC_DEFINE([HAVE_HDF5], [1], [Defined if you have HDF5 support])

        To remedy the situation, these have been moved into the conditional
        block where HDF5 is actually detected.

        AX_PTHREAD: fixed Autoconf warnings about underquoted arguments

2011-07-30  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        AX_GCC_INSTALL_DIR, AX_GCC_LIBRARIES_DIR, AX_GCC_VERSION, and AX_GXX_VERSION are non-functional and have been marked obsolete, because they depend on the obsolete AX_GCC_OPTION macro, which has been removed from the archive.

2011-07-28  John Zaitseff  <J.Zaitseff@zap.org.au>

        AX_WITH_CURSES: major re-write
        I re-wrote the AX_WITH_CURSES macro, and added the macros AX_WITH_CURSES_PANEL,
        AX_WITH_CURSES_MENU, and AX_WITH_CURSES_FORM for the following reasons:

         - The checks are far more rigorous and now work with many more systems. In
           particular, Debian Sid, Debian 6.0 (Squeeze), Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty), Ubuntu
           10.04 (Lucid), Fedora 15, FreeBSD 8.2 and Cygwin have all been confirmed as
           working.

         - The old version required Ncurses to be present even when linking with
           NcursesW. This has been fixed.

         - Multiple header filenames are checked for each library as these seem to be
           different in every system. The old version did not do these checks and hence
           failed on many systems (eg, FreeBSD and Cygwin).

         - A number of feature checks have been added: X/Open Enhanced functionality
           checks, colour function checks, obsolete function checks, etc.

         - The additional macros check for auxiliary libraries associated with Curses:
           Panel, Menu and Form, again with checks against NcursesW, Ncurses and plain
           Curses.

         - Extensive documentation has been added, particularly useful for the beginner
           (ie, exactly what needs to be put where for a working Curses check).

        ax_cflags_*: Use AX_APPEND_FLAG macro

        Use one implementation for C/C++ in ax_cflags_*.m4

        AX_COMPILER_VENDOR: Make the list of vendors and corresponding symbols clearer
        Also deprecate the macros AX_CHECK_SUNPRO_C and AX_LANG_COMPILER_MS in favor
        of the more generic AX_COMPILER_VENDOR.

        ax_check_openssl: Fix underquoted macro arguments.
        Several of the macros used in AX_CHECK_OPENSSL have underquoted
        arguments.  In particular, autoconf complains loudly about the
        unquoted AC_LANG_PROGRAM argument to AC_LINK_IFELSE:

          configure.ac:10: warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body
          ../../lib/autoconf/lang.m4:194: AC_LANG_CONFTEST is expanded from...
          ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2662: _AC_LINK_IFELSE is expanded from...
          ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2679: AC_LINK_IFELSE is expanded from...
          m4/ax_check_openssl.m4:38: AX_CHECK_OPENSSL is expanded from...
          configure.ac:10: the top level

        Fix that up, and fix up the others while we're at it.

2011-06-28  Anders Kaseorg  <andersk@mit.edu>

        AX_CHECK_FLAG: Fix to work with autoconf 2.59
        • AS_VAR_PUSHDEF([FLAGS], [something containing FLAGS]) caused an
          infinite loop before v2.65~21.
        • AS_VAR_APPEND was new in v2.63b~224.
        • AS_VAR_IF was new in v2.63~27.
        • AS_ECHO was new in AUTOCONF-2.61a~45, and AC_PROG_GREP in
          AUTOCONF-2.59c~744, but their use here is more idiomatically
          replaced with a case pattern anyway.
        • Before AUTOCONF-2.60b~8, the variable name passed to AC_CACHE_CHECK,
          AS_VAR_GET, AS_VAR_SET, and AS_VAR_SET_IF must be left unquoted.

2011-06-25  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION: deprecated in favor of AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG

        Added a proper 'obsolete' section to AX_C_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CHECK_LINKER_FLAGS, AX_CPP_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXX_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXXCPP_CHECK_FLAG, and AX_LD_CHECK_FLAG.

        Bumped serial numbers of AX_CFLAGS_*_OPTION, AX_CHECK_{COMPILER,LINKER}_FLAGS, and edited the formatting of the documentation for consistency. Also documented the recent changes in the NEWS file.

2011-06-25  Maarten Bosmans  <mkbosmans@gmail.com>

        Implement AX_*_CHECK_FLAG on top of ax_check_flag.m4 macros
        The PROLOGUE and BODY arguments were almost never used, so there's no need to
        keep them. Just emit a warning if they are nonempty.

        Implement AX_CHECK_*_FLAGS on top of ax_check_flag.m4 macros
        The implementation takes care to empty the CFLAGS, to mimic previous behaviour,
        but the new behaviour of AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG should be better for most situations.

        ax_cflags_*_option.m4: Use AX_APPEND_FLAG macro to append the flag

        ax_cflags_*_option.m4: Use AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG macro to do most of the work
        This gets rid of the for loop and the string splitting using sed.  For
        gcc_option the logic is now contained in a much easier to follow if statement.

        Add ax_check_flag.m4

        ax_cflags_*_option.m4: Consolidate CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS macros
        Combine duplicate AX_CFLAGS_ and AX_CXXFLAGS_ macros into one AX_FLAGS macro and
        change language in the language_specific macro.

        ax_cflags_*_option.m4: Consolidate _OLD and _NEW macros
        Combine duplicate _OLD and _NEW macros into one _PRIVATE macro and switch
        arguments in the main macro.

        AX_CHECK_MYSQL: new submission
        I am submitting an Autoconf Macro I've been developing for the past
        couple months - ax_check_mysql.m4. I'm aware that multiple other MySQL
        macros exist, but mine is specifically geared toward MySQL plugin
        development and installation. Specifically:

         - Automatically Detects binary, include, and plugin directories for most
           typical MySQL installations.

         - Provides methods for one to designate the directories manually, or point to
           a root directory containing a MySQL installation.

        AX_CHECK_DEFINE: various bug fixes
         - Change macro names to CHECK_DEFINE and alias the old name CHECK_DEFINED.
           This makes the names in sync with the help comments on top.

         - Update obsolete AC_TRY_COMPILE to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.

         - Include header name in cache value and in output message.

         - Switch #ifndef to #ifdef. That macro could not have worked previously.

        These macros have serial numbers greater than the number of commits that
        modified them. Since we cannot decrease serial numbers once they've been
        assigned, the macros need two (effectively empty) commits to synchronize
        their serial number with Git.

        AX_PKG_SWIG: fix the configure check so it can find swig 2 as swig2.0
        Ubuntu Maverick and Ubuntu Natty install swig 2 as /usr/bin/swig2.0
        because they do not yet want to upgrade their normal swig package. This
        lets our macro find that too.

        AX_LUA: normalize formatting of the documentation

2011-02-26  Reuben Thomas  <rrt@sc3d.org>

        Add AX_PROG_LUA macro, and improve behaviour of single version number given to mean “exactly this version” rather than “this verison or greater”.

        Add Lua 5.2 support (trivial!).
        Remove --with-lua-prefix (use CPPFLAGS &c. instead).

2011-02-06  Mike Frysinger  <vapier@gentoo.org>

        AX_CREATE_PKGCONFIG_INFO: don't add user CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS to pc files
        CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS are settings that come from the user.  These
        should not be placed into .pc files.  Since this helper already
        provides variables for getting cflags/ldflags into the .pc file,
        just punt the user sourcing.

        the program's name.

        No idea what I was thinking on the mistaken syntax...

2010-11-11  Rhys Ulerich  <rhys.ulerich@gmail.com>

        Move AX_CXX_{CPP,CXX,LD}FLAGS_STD_LANG to AX_COMPILER_VENDOR
        Nested quoting within AX_CXX_COMPILER_VENDOR gives warnings on
        newer autoconf versions.  Switching which compiler-detection
        script these macros use.

        Implementation changeover simple-- just need to account for a
        difference in 'dec' vs 'compaq' compiler identifier.

2010-10-20  Rhys Ulerich  <rhys.ulerich@gmail.com>

        ax_lib_hdf5: improve {C,CPP,LD,F}FLAGS + Fortran
        Newer compiler wrapper versions stop providing as
        much useful information.  After attempting to pull
        everything from them, we now look for -L/-I information
        in the compiler wrapper's -show output.

        This greatly improves HDF5_FFLAGS.  Also, added HDF5_FLIBS
        to capture the Fortran-specific link line details.

        ax_boost* macros fail.

        build: m4-quote use of AC_LANG_PROGRAM to avoid warning from new autoconf
        Using autoconf-2.68 would evoke many new warnings like this:

          configure.ac:78: warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body
          ../../lib/autoconf/lang.m4:194: AC_LANG_CONFTEST is expanded from...
          ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2591: _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from...
          ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2607: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from...
          ../../lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4:606: AS_IF is expanded from...
          ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2032: AC_CACHE_VAL is expanded from...
          ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2053: AC_CACHE_CHECK is expanded from...
          ax/ax_boost_thread.m4:35: AX_BOOST_THREAD is expanded from...
          configure.ac:78: the top level

        Autoconf was unable to detect the existing use of AC_LANG_SOURCE
        because it was underquoted.  Fix that.

2010-09-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

        AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H: added support for system shell "dash"
        The AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H macro doesn't work with dash, the bug is already
        noted in the source file. As of autoconf 2.62, AS_ECHO can be used to
        print strings that may contain backslashes or look like options. This
        patch updates AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H to use it.

        The comment in the source file refers to $ECHO from libtool, but this
        requires libtool.m4 which is not part of autoconf, and AS_ECHO is. On
        the other hand, libtool.m4 (at least the one on my system) only requires
        autoconf 2.58 or higher, so depending on how much you value
        compatibility with older autoconf versions, that may be a better choice.

        See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7317> for further details.

        AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION: use AS_VAR_COPY() if available, but don't require it
        Peter Kjellerstedt noticed a problem when using the updated macro with an older
        version of autoconf (e.g. 2.61 as used by debian). AS_VAR_COPY() seems to be a
        relatively new addition to the API, and did not exist in 2.61.

        AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION: Correct handling of indirectly named sh vars
        With autoconf 2.67 a use of AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION() like this

            AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION([-fvisibility=hidden], AM_CFLAGS)

        with an option containing a non-literal character like = suddenly
        breaks. This was due to directly accessing variables defined with
        AS_VAR_PUSHDEF(), rather than using AS_VAR_SET() and AS_VAR_COPY().

        AX_PTHREAD: fix compiler warning in AC_TRY_LINK test program
        The test program generated by AX_PTHREAD's AC_TRY_LINK invocation generates a
        compiler warning (on Linux, using GCC 4). When building with "-Wall -Werror" in
        CFLAGS, as done during development to catch unexpected warnings, this turns
        into a compiler error; hence, all of the AC_TRY_LINK invocations fail, and the
        macro fails to detect any suitable compiler/linker flags for pthreads usage.

        A sample from config.log showing the error follows.

          configure:16038: result: no
          configure:15936: checking whether pthreads work without any flags
          configure:16029: gcc -o conftest -O3 -g -Wall -Werror -pipe -fvisibility=hidden -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed conftest.c >&5
          cc1: warnings being treated as errors
          conftest.c: In function 'main':
          conftest.c:31: error: 'th' is used uninitialized in this function

        This patch fixes the issue by placing pthread_create before pthread_join in the
        test program.

        The serial number corresponds to the number of commits that have
        modified the macro in the Archive's Git repository. Refer to
        http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool//manual/automake/Serials.html to
        find out why these numbers are useful.

        AX_BOOST_BASE: fix host boost search when cross-compiling
        The AX_BOOST_BASE macro likes to do searches in the host paths (/usr and
        such) which is obviously incorrect for cross-compiling.  So disable these
        fallback searches when cross-compiling.

        AX_CHECK_ICU: added support for icu-specific CPPFLAGS
        This macro uses the icu-config utility which treats CPPFLAGS separately
        from CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Clients should be able to obtain the value of
        CPPFLAGS, which is not currently possible. This patch fixes that.

        Note that this behavior is slightly different from PKG_CHECK_MODULES,
        since the underlying pkg-config doesn't distinguish between CFLAGS and
        CPPFLAGS. Using CFLAGS instead of CPPFLAGS with icu-config leads to
        problems, such as header files not found, and compilation errors since
        icu has its own slightly quirky ideas about what kind of strict warnings
        should be used, even though these are not required for using the ICU
        headers.

        Clients should typically use ICU_CPPFLAGS rather than ICU_CFLAGS or
        ICU_CXXFLAGS if they just want to be able to find headers.

        AX_C_IFDEF: deprecated in favor of the standard Autoconf macro AC_CHECK_DECL

2009-12-23  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        Consistently indent quoted paragraphs with two blanks.

        AX_CXX_HELPFUL_TERMINATE_HANDLER: initial version
        Submitted by Kevin Locke in <https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/index.php?7005>:

         | As a compliment (or possibly replacement) to the current
         | AX_CXX_VERBOSE_TERMINATE_HANDLER macro, I present the
         | AX_CXX_HELPFUL_TERMINATE_HANDLER macro. Rather than specifically looking for
         | the GNU libstdc++ verbose_terminate_handler, this macro uses a test program
         | which throws an uncaught exception then checks if the output contains
         | information about the exception. This way it can detect helpful terminate
         | handlers other than the current one provided with GNU libstdc++.
         |
         | The design of this macro is not perfect. Most importantly, the logic for
         | capturing and testing the output of the test program is not very elegant. I
         | had first attempted to check for output from within the test program (by
         | redirecting std::cerr, capturing SIGABRT, etc.) but it was excessively ugly
         | and not very portable. The result is that the logic in the macro itself is a
         | little more awkward so that the test program is trivial. I think it was a
         | good trade, but feedback is welcome.

        The name space structure for cache variables should now contain _cv_.

        ax_enable_builddir: improve quality of generated top-level Makefile
        The top-level Makefile is generated by mangling rules, "a: b".  We

        Apparently this was causing unbalanced parenthesis errors on some

        AX_LATEX_*: marked obsolete because of issues with LGPL license
        The AX_LATEX_* family of macros is distributed under the LPGL license.
        Use of that license is discouraged for Autoconf macros, because it might
        impose licensing restrictions on the generated configure script. All
        other macros in the Archive that are licensed under LGPL or GPL feature
        an explicit Autoconf Exception that lifts those limitations, but the
        LaTeX macros did not. Unfortunately, all attempts to contact the author
        with a request to remedy the situation have been been unsuccessful.

        Dropped obsolete macros from the repository.
        These macros have been replaced by newer versions and are no longer required.
        Where applicable, the newer versions feature an AU_ALIAS() forwarder that
        redirects invocations of the obsolete macro to the current one.

        Commit b456074a0da5f319a512c043e6c5102e078923f4 adds AU_ALIAS calls that
        forward from the obsolete macro names to the new ones. However, at this point
        it's uncertain whether that usage of AU_ALIAS actually works as intended. In
        order to avoid breaking things until the issue has been clarified, the change
        is reverted.

        VL_LIB_READLINE: set LIBS correctly in case of a cache hit
        The macro didn't set LIBS appropriately if there is a cache hit. It only
        sets it if there is a cache miss.

        I've modified the code to set LIBS in the stanza which checks to see if
        $vl_cv_lib_readline has been set.  This required resetting LIBS in the
        AC_CACHE_CHECK "COMMANDS-TO-SET-IT" argument so that the appropriate
        libs wouldn't be included twice if there was a cache miss.

        AX_DIST_RPM: Do not break VPATH builds
        AX_DIST_RPM was breaking VPATH builds since it was expecting the spec
        template to be in the build directory during configure time.  Obviously
        this breaks distcheck which checks, among other things, VPATH builds.

        AX_DIST_RPM: Do not hard code the spec template
        The spec template was hard coded in and the macro was ignoring the
        template given by the caller.

        AX_DIST_RPM: Remove use of @NAME@ and @VER@.
        It appears that at one point the previously values were being
        substituted in at make time but this is no longer the case.  Modify the
        example to use the @PACKAGE@ and @VERSION@ variables instead.

        AX_DIST_RPM: Update the example spec file in comment.
        The example should use the `License' tag rather than the legacy `Copyright'
        tag.

        These macros were marked as obsolete for quite a while and are now
        subsequently deleted. This means that the generated distribution archive

        Synchronize last-modified-date with GIT repository.
        The last-modified-date of these macros didn't match their respective
        last-modified-date in the GIT repository. A version bump remedies this
        inconsistency. In hindsight, these dates should have bumped when the
        distribution format changed; all macros had to be touched at this point
        anyway.

        AX_CVS,AX_DIST_MSI: Rewritten to use AX_ADD_AM_MACRO_STATIC.
        These changes have not been tested very well since I don't have the software
        setup to use either one.  It's also worth mentioning that AX_DIST_MSI appears
        to use GNU Make syntax which will cause Automake to complain unless portability
        warnings are disabled.

        Please feel free to modify this patch and commit message as necessary.

2009-04-20  Allan Caffee  <allan.caffee@gmail.com>

        AX_DIST_RPM (and dependent macros) Modified to use AX_ADD_AM_MACRO_STATIC.
        The macros AX_UPLOAD, AX_INSTALL_FILES, and AX_EXTRA_DIST which are often used
        in conjunction with AX_DIST_RPM were also updated to use
        AX_ADD_AM_MACRO_STATIC.

        Thanks go to Ralf Wildenhues for the idea of adding local cleanup and
        distribution targets as prerequisites the *-local/*-hook targets.

2009-04-20  Allan Caffee  <allan.caffee@gmail.com>

        AX_ADD_AM_MACRO_STATIC: Added a new macro and helpers.
        This new macro adds some text to the file aminclude_static.am when *Autoconf*
        is run.  The current macro AX_ADD_AM_MACRO writes text to the file
        `aminclude.am' when _configure_ is run.  Unfortunately this means that a) the
        existing macro append Make code rather than Automake code as the name would
        imply and b) only works for implementations of Make which allow includes, BSD
        Make and GNU Make are the only ones that come to mind.

        Hopefully this new macro will eventually replace the existing one altogether
        because it allows Automake to do the actual work thereby offering more portable
        Makefiles and pushing logic out of configure conditionals and into
        AM_CONDITIONALs.  However, in an attempt to avoid breaking existing Autoconf
        scripts those macros have been left unchanged for the time being.

        AUTHORS: updated after recent changes to AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR

2009-04-19  Alan Jenkins  <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk>

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Add support for "dist-bzip2" target and friends
        We already get a special toplevel Makefile rule for "dist", which
        copies the tarball from the build directory to the source directory.

        Many projects publish tarballs compressed using Bzip2 to save a bit
        more bandwidth.  Automake provides a "dist-bzip2" rule for this
        purpose, and many others for different compression methods.
        Unfortunately the rules don't all match the file extensions (dist-bzip
        makes .bz2).  So for dist-foo rules, just copy *all* the tarballs.
        Ugly, but useful.

2009-04-19  Alan Jenkins  <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk>

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Fix "make distclean" toplevel Makefile target
        $ ./configure; make
        ...
        MAKE i686-pc-linux-gnu : 0 * distclean
        make[1]: Entering directory `/home/alan/bootup/src/module-init-tools/build'
        rm -f doc/*.tmp manpage.refs manpage.links
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alan/bootup/src/module-init-tools/build'
        MAKE i686-pc-linux-gnu : 0 * distclean (all local builds)
        # rm -r .
        # (sleep 3)
        rm -r .
        rm: cannot remove directory `.'

        The problem is the method used to determine which builddirs are local,
        and therefore should removed by "make distclean".  It relies on them
        starting with "./", but they don't :-).  Instead, we can assume that
        non-local directories will start with "/" or "../".

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Prevent multiple dist-all targets in top-level Makefile
        $ ./configure; make
        ...
        Makefile:852: target `dist-all' given more than once in the same rule.

        The macro generates additional X-all targets, meaning "make target X in
        all build directories".  My source Makefile includes a rule like this:

            dist dist-all: ...

        It gets converted to

            dist dist-all dist-all:

        When what we really want is this

            dist dist-all:

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Fix ":=" assignments in top-level generated Makefile
        The sed script which generates the top-level Makefile from the Makefile
        in the build directory is flawed.  It treats an assignment of the form
        "TESTSUITE := ..." as a makefile rule - because it contains ":".

        $ make
        ...
        MAKE  : 1 * TESTSUITE
        make[1]: Entering directory `/home/alan/bootup/src/module-init-tools/build'
        make[1]: *** No rule to make target `TESTSUITE'.  Stop.

        Fix the sed script to skip the rule-related commands for lines which
        contain ":=".  As a cleanup, we can also skip the rule-related commands
        for lines which do not contain ":".  That simplifies those commands,
        because they don't need to test for ":" themselves.

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Fix builds configured from a subdirectory
        I would like to be able to bypass ENABLE_BUILDDIR and configure a
        subdirectory myself, without generating a toplevel Makefile.
        (This is for an unusual automated testsuite which tests behaviour
        with different configure options, and compiles with -DJUST_TESTING
        to build a testable version of the program).

        $ mkdir build; cd build; ../configure
        ...
        config.status: executing buildir commands
        config.status: create top_srcdir/Makefile guessed from local Makefile
        config.status: build in yes (HOST=)
        ...
        $ cd ..; make
        MAKE i686-pc-linux-gnu : 0 * all-all
        /bin/bash: line 9: cd: yes: No such file or directory
        make: *** [all-all] Error 1

        Also:
        ./configure --disable-builddir
        ...
        config.status: executing buildir commands
        config.status: keeping top_srcdir/Makefile from earlier configure
        ...

        Which should really be:

        config.status: executing buildir commands
        config.status: leaving top_srcdir/Makefile untouched

2009-04-19  Alan Jenkins  <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk>

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Fix path for config.guess
        Using this macro, I get a warning that config.guess can't be found.
        It doesn't cause a problem for me because I'm not cross-compiling
        for multiple hosts, but it is annoying.

                $ ./configure
                ...
                $ make
                sh: Can't open ../config.guess
                ...

        Reason: ".." is "$AUX".
        The top-level makefile is generated *after* the configure script reruns
        itself in the build directory.  At that point, AUX is equal to "..".

        Solution: use AM_AUX_DIR_EXPAND to generate an absolute version of
        ac_aux_dir.

        AX_BOOST_{THREAD,PROGRAM_OPTIONS}: replace non-portable shell constructs
        The mentioned files contain a non-portable shell construct, brace expansion
        (e.g. dash and FreeBSD's sh don't support it). I guess the other ax_boost_<lib>
        macro files contain similar stuff but I'm not using any other boost libs so I'd
        rather not mess with them.

        AX_C99_INLINE: initial version
        The macro determines whether the "inline" keyword of a C99 compiler is
        standards compliant or not.  I am using this macro support differences
        between gcc 4.2 (and earlier) and gcc 4.3 (and later) when using the
        "-std= c99" option.  It may also be useful for other compilers.  (For
        details of the differences between the compiler versions refer to
        http:// gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html "Sematic change of extern
        inline")

        Example configure.ac:

          AC_INIT([foo], [0.1])
          AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE

          AC_PROG_CC
          AC_PROG_CC_C99
          if test "$ac_cv_prog_cc_c99" == "no"; then
            AC_MSG_ERROR([A C99 compiler is required.])
          fi

          AX_C99_INLINE

          AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h])
          AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
          AC_OUTPUT

        Example source file foo.h:

          #ifdef HAVE_C99_INLINE
          inline int myFunction(int a) { return a + 1; }
          #else
          static inline int myFunction(int a) { return a + 1; }
          #endif

        Example source foo.c:

          extern inline int myFunction(int a);

        AX_PROG_DOXYGEN: bugfix
        A collegue of mine recently ran into a problem: some "[]" syntax appear
        to be leaking through when autoconf generated ./configure. Actually, it
        was that a string was over-quoted and was thus not being expanded when
        it should have. In some circumstances, it looks like the bug is `mostly
        silent' (save for some bogus output in config.log), but we have seen
        autoconf fail as a result of the "[]" being taken as an (invalid)
        regexp.

2008-04-28  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        AC_SET_VERSIONLEVEL: obsolete macro
        This macro appears to be broken. Any attempt to use, i.e.

          AC_SET_VERSIONLEVEL([foo], [1.1.1])

        results in an error message: "m4_popdef: undefined macro: foo_MICRO". If
        someone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know.

2008-04-28  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        AX_SET_VERSION_INFO: obsolete macro
        To the best of my understanding, this macro is based on a misconception
        about Libtool's -version-info flag.

        Apparently, the macro invocation AX_SET_VERSION_INFO([2.4.18]) is
        transformed into "-release 2" and "-version-info 4:18". However, those
        two flags contradict each other. The -release option specifies a version
        number in the sense that we all know and love, but -version-info does
        not: that flag implements a fairly sophisticated scheme meant to express
        binary interface compatibility which is supposed to *replace* -release
        versions. Deriving settings for both of those flags from one number
        doesn't make sense.

        See "6.2 Libtool's versioning system" for further details.

        AX_GCC_INSTALL_DIR: updated to use new AX_GCC_OPTION

2008-04-17  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        AC_CXX_*: added various macros for testing C++98 and C++TR1 compliance
        Benjamin Kosnik kindly submitted his macro collection from libstdc++,

          http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/backwards.html#backwards.third

        ..., for inclusion in the archive.

2008-04-12  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        ALL: updated m4 distribution format
        The markup format distributed by the Autoconf Macro Archive underwent
        the following changes:

         * All archive entries use '#' comment delimiters, rather than 'dnl',
           because we would like those comments to go into the generated
           configure script. It should be simple for everyone to determine
           where the macro came from originally, who wrote it, and where the
           latest version can be retrieved. To achieve this, every macro used
           to start with a distinguished line that shows the URL of its
           respective home page, i.e.:

           | ##### http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_prog_acme.html

           As it happens, the aclocal utility distributed with Automake
           ignores all comment lines that start with a double hash '##', thus
           those home page URLs will not make it into any automatically
           generated aclocal.m4 file. Duh. To remedy the situation, the
           following markup is now used instead:

           | # =================================================================
           | #        http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_prog_acme.html
           | # =================================================================

         * The 2.x versions of the GNU GPL and LGPL contain the following
           clause:

           | You should have received a copy of the <GNU LICENSE NAME> along
           | with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation,
           | Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

           Version 3.x, however, smartly refers the reader to the Web:

           | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
           | along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

           This patch changes all GPL2 and LGPL2 macros to do the same, i.e.
           to refer to the GNU web site for the full text of the respective
           license.

         * Since all m4 files had to be changed in this commit anyway, the
           opportunity was used to increase the auto-fill column for
           documentation from 65 to 75 characters per line. It's a trivial
           change, but it just looks nicer.

        BERKELEY_DB: silence autoheader 2.61 warning

2008-03-30  Thomas Porschberg  <thomas@randspringer.de>

        AX_BOOST_BASE: add support for --with-boost-libdir
        This patch originated in the PDFedit project [1]. It adds the capability to
        specify the library path explicitly using the `--with-boost-libdir=LIB_DIR'
        flag. This is required, for example, on platforms that offer both 32 and 64
        bit versions of the libraries, but in different directories.

        AX_PATH_MISSING: added missing 'unset' and improved documentation

2008-02-20  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        AX_RUBY_DEVEL: Corrected spelling of the author's name.
        It's Rafal Rzepecki, where the last 'l' really is an &lslash; from
        ISO-8859-2. Unfortunately, that character cannot be used easily in m4
        macros.

        Note that this macro has been derived from AC_PYTHON_DEVEL, but does not
        depend on it.

        AX_LIB_POSTGRESQL: bugfix

2008-01-28  Francesco Salvestrini  <salvestrini@gmail.com>

        Major re-factoring of Perl, Guile, Python, and Ruby detection macros.
        The new submission AX_WITH_PROG generalizes the technique employed by the
        original AX_WITH_PYTHON to allow for detecting generic executables. Based on
        that macro, trivial wrappers are provided for finding installed versions of
        Perl, Guile, Python, and Ruby.

        NOTE: The earlier version of AX_WITH_PYTHON performed a version check. The
        AX_WITH_PROG-based macros don't do that. Instead, separate macros are available
        for Perl, Guile, Python, and Ruby that check the version of a given executable
        in a second, independent step.

        AX_COMPARE_VERSION: cosmetic change
        Removed the reference to AX_PATH_BDB from the documentation in order to
        generate a neater cross-reference graph. The macro's HTML page refers to
        that macro anyway.

2007-12-03  Francesco Salvestrini  <salvestrini@users.sourceforge.net>

        AX_MISSING_PROG, AX_PATH_MISSING: re-factored for improved modularity
        Added a new macro AX_MISSING_PROG that wraps AM_MISSING_PROG (from
        Automake) and modified AX_PATH_MISSING to wrap AX_MISSING_PROG. The
        change is transparent for users of the previous version.

        The names used in the macro-chain are confusing, but I didn't find a
        better solution. Suggestions are welcome.

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Bump modification date to obsolete the reverted version.

2007-08-21  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Revert renaming of variable HOST to BUILD.
        Further discussion on the Autoconf mailing list has reached the
        following consensus: although BUILD is the right choice in most
        cases, in case of cross-compilation it is not. Cross-compilation
        needs HOST to be set, so the original version of this macro is
        the safer choice. This patch reverts commit
        41da8f494cd209a9836ebeae8f211cb84dde9153.

        An unpleasant property of HOST is that most shell environments
        define that variable to the local hostname. When configure uses
        $HOST as a default setting, however, that is not what it expects
        to find -- HOST is supposed to be config.guess tripple. Thus, the
        user is forced to specify HOST explicitly or to undefine $HOST in
        the shell before calling configure. That's a bit of mess. Bright
        ideas and patches are welcome.

        AX_COMPILER_VENDOR: added support for Pathscale compiler

2007-08-09  Julian Cummings  <cummings@cacr.caltech.edu>

        AX_F90_MODULE_FLAG: drop support for -module flag
        It turns out that in Version 3.0 of the Pathscale Fortran
        compiler they have "clarified" the meaning of the -module flag to
        only be for setting the directory where *.mod files are written.
        In version 3.0, you can only use -module once in a command line,
        and if you use it, then the compiler will look there first for
        module files to be read before looking in the -I directories.
        Thus, it really is best to just use the -I flag here and let the
        user add one specific -module option only if they want or need to
        redirect module output files.

        This commit reverts 5ba234dd8f69456238e7718d4f3a7c116639e373.

2007-08-04  Julian Cummings  <cummings@cacr.caltech.edu>

        AX_F90_MODULE_FLAG: support -module PGI compiler flag
        I have "-module " to the list of compiler options that is tried
        in order to support the PGI Fortran compiler. Without this
        change, the PGI compiler actually accepts "-I" and passes the
        test. However, this option is actually meant for setting the
        include file search path to find files that are included with the
        Fortran INCLUDE statement. Although the -I flag works in this
        case because there are no -module options on the command line,
        things will not work correctly if the user does bring in the
        -module option on the actual compile command line.

2007-08-04  Peter Simons  <simons@cryp.to>

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR_UNAME: Obsoleted.
        This macro duplicates the functionality of the standard Autoconf macro
        AC_CANONICAL_BUILD. Kindly pointed out by Julian C. Cummings.

        AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H: stripped invalid e-mail address
        Marten Svantesson's e-mail address has become invalid. If anyone
        knows how to reach him, please let me know.

2007-08-04  Julian Cummings  <cummings@cacr.caltech.edu>

        AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR: Renamed variable HOST to BUILD.
        The patch universally replaces "host" with "build" and "HOST"
        with "BUILD". The rationale is that typically the user wishes to
        segregate builds based upon the BUILD target rather than the
        configuration HOST type. Now that these host and build variables
        are treated as more fully distinct in Autoconf, it makes sense to
        honor this distinction.

        AX_C___ATTRIBUTE__: fixed for gcc4
        The macro did not work with current gcc. The problem is that gcc4
        does not swallow nested function, so the declaration and
        definition of the test function had to be moved from the body of
        main() to the prologue of conftest.c.

        ax_boost*.m4: fix library detection when compiling with -pedantic
        When running the Boost macros with the "-pedantic" compiler
        switch, they fail. It seems that the problem is a multiply
        defined "main" function in the generated test program. I changed
        the call to AC_CHECK_LIB to use "exit" instead of "main", which
        seems to work reliably.

        AX_TLS: initial version
        The attached macro attempts to detect compiler support for TLS

        AX_BOOST_*, AX_PYTHON: Michael Tindal's e-mail address is invalid.
        The address <mtindal@paradoxpoint.com> no longer works because the
        domain name paradoxpoint.com appears to have expired. If anyone knows
        how to reach Michael these days, please let me know. Thanks to Mikael
        Lepistö for bringing this problem to my attention.

        Bug fix for Solaris 9.
        One of our users noticed some strange output on Solaris 9 from
        this macro. It looks like it was a fairly trivial typo, executing
        $1 (a list of headers) instead of $2 (optional shell commands).

        ax_boost*.m4: Portability improvements.
        Joerg Sonnenberger reported a problem:

         | This fails on a number of systems because in
         |
         |     AC_CHECK_LIB($ax_lib, main, [BOOST_REGEX_LIB=$ax_lib break])

         | the BOOST_REGEX_LIB a local variable for break. Can you fix
         | that macro to use two statements? Try running this with bash3
