2010-10-15 Gary V. Vaughan <[email protected]>
libtool: remove redundant unsubstituted shell var defaults.
* Makefile.am (libltdl/config/ltmain.sh): Boilerplate code from
libltdl/config/general.m4 sets some default shell variables
designed to be substituted by `$(configure_edit)'. Actually,
`libtool' uses the language tag values for those variables, and
`ltmain.m4sh' is not passed through `$(configure_edit)', so they
are just noise. Edit them out at bootstrap time.
2010-10-15 Gary V. Vaughan <[email protected]>
maint: don't leak developer GREP, SED etc into distribution file.
* Makefile.am: Having rearranged the file, now apply the actual
changes to follow-up.

(bootstrap_edit): ...substitutions that should happen at bootstrap
time...
(configure_edit): ...and substitutions that should not happen until
configure time.
* Makefile.am (libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh)
(libtoolize.in, tests/package.m4): Use bootstrap_edit.

bug fixed by this changeset.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention that this bug is now fixed.
Reported by Joerg Sonnenberger.
maint: rearrange Makefile.am in preparation for a follow-up patch.
* Makefile.am (Libtool scripts.): Move this section below the
`Bootstrap.' section...
(libtoolize.in): ...except this one which is generated at
bootstrap time, and was added into the `Bootstrap.' section.
(Libltdl.): Move this section below the `Libtool scripts.'
section.
2010-10-15 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Fix linking from only convenience archives with gfortran on Darwin.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_DARWIN_LINKER_FEATURES): Update

[darwin, F77, FC] <compiler_needs_object>: Set to yes if
whole_archive_flag_spec is nonempty. Fixes convenience.at test
suite failures with gfortran 4.2 on Darwin.
* THANKS: Update.
Report by Paul Laight.
Fix bindir check logic, and relax non-bindir case for AIX.
* tests/bindir.at (bindir install tests): Rewrite checks for
place of the installed shared library in two separate tests,
depending on whether -bindir is supposed to have an effect or
not. In the positive case, make the test stricter so that we
reject libraries in $libdir. In the negative case, do not
require a major version number in the $libdir file name, for AIX
without runtimelinking. If tmpdir creation fails, skip the
test. Use fewer bindir directory names for testing, to speed
up the test. Also mention MSVC style DLL name in comment.
Report by Peter Rosin.
tests: remove unneeded 'bindir compile check' test.
* tests/bindir.at (bindir compile check): Remove.
2010-10-14 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>

sure we don't regress.
msvc: handle symbols from different files independently.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS)
<dumpbin, lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe>: Make all sections
viable for symbol extraction again when the symbols from a new
file starts. Fixes tests/tagdemo-make.test for MSVC 10.

systems that do not have libraries prefixed with lib.
tests: clean up importing and exporting on w32.
Makes the touched tests pass for MSVC when DLLs are built.
* tests/demo/Makefile.am, tests/pdemo/Makefile.am: Define
BUILDING_LIBHELLO when building libhello.la.
* tests/demo/foo.h, tests/pdemo/foo.h (nothing) <MSVC>: Export
variable when building the libhello dll and import when using
libhello. For GCC and non-w32, and when building a static
libhello, leave as an ordinary extern.
* tests/pdemo/foo.h [Cygwin]: Remove unneeded and "dead" export
and import logic (LIBFOO_DLL is always undefined).
* tests/pdemo/longer_file_name_foo.c,
tests/pdemo/longer_file_name_foo2.c (_LIBFOO_COMPILATION_): Not
useful before, even less so now. Removed.

[pw32, cegcc] <cl*, exclude_expsyms>: Don't export symbols in
import libraries related to describing what dll(s) the import
library is importing. Fixes problem in tests/demo-make.test
and some other tests.
2010-09-22 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Fix regression in command-line length computation.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (LT_CMD_MAX_LEN): Use `env echo' rather

static libprefix interface, so new version-info is C+1:0:R+1.
* configure.ac, libltdl/configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump version
numbers.
* NEWS: Update version number.
manual: web-manual index.html clashes with @node Index.

msvc: eliminate spaces in the library search path.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [mingw, cygwin]
<cl*, sys_lib_search_path_spec>: The LIB path variable telling
where MSVC looks for libraries is likely to contain directory
names with spaces. Convert those directory names to the short
8.3 DOS form (i.e. without spaces) when storing them in
sys_lib_search_path_spec, as that is a space separated variable.
2010-09-21 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Revert to per-language libpath computation on AIX.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_MODULE_PATH_AIX): Accept

* libltdl/config/edit-readme-alpha: If README is non-writable
assume that it is being run from distcheck, and skip the edit
with a warning (to help diagnose cases where the heuristic is
not correct). However, if README has already been edited to
the alpha text, quietly skip without an error message.
2010-09-20 Eric Blake <[email protected]>

* libltdl/ltdl.h (LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): Move the
declaration of lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols to global
scope and make sure it has "C" linkage. Makes exceptions.at
succeed on MSVC.
2010-09-20 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>
tests: __declspec (dll{ex,im}port) in tests/exceptions.at
* tests/exceptions.at (common.h, module.h, lib.h) [w32]: Use
__declspec (dllimport) and __declspec (dllexport) instead of
the less portable __attribute__ ((dllimport)) and
__attribute__ ((dllexport)). Makes the test compile on MSVC.
2010-09-19 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>
tests: Import items from liba1 for MSVC.
* tests/lt_dlexit.at (b1.c) [MSVC]: Import function f1 and

2010-09-17 Charles Wilson <[email protected]>
Fix order of PATH manipulation in cwrapper and shwrapper
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_emit_cwrapperexe_src:main): Call
lt_update_exe_path before lt_update_lib_path, to ensure that the
temporary rpath values (which include the OBJDIRs of uninstalled
libtool libraries) precede installation and final -rpath directories.
(func_emit_wrapper): Prepend $dllsearchpath to PATH before prepending
$temp_rpath to $shlibpath_var; similar rationale as above.
Reported by Jon Turney <[email protected]>
2010-09-17 Charles Wilson <[email protected]>

2010-09-13 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>
Prefer $NM @file when the toolchain isn't native to $build.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Avoid calculating
the command line length and take the @file branch *if* the file
names needs to be converted for the toolchain and the @file
branch works. Fixes problems in stresstest.at when doing a cross
from Cygwin to MinGW using MinGW native tools (a.k.a. a "faked"
cross), and for the specific case of MSVC on Cygwin it makes the
test pass.
2010-09-15 Gary V. Vaughan <[email protected]>
maint: improve README instructions for fetching latest version.
* README, README-alpha (Obtaining the Latest Sources): New
section, describing use of savannah repositories and bootstrap.

using trailing '@'. Use @deftypefun rather than @deftp where
appropriate, and add spaces in @deftypefun lines to fix the
index entries generated from these lines.
(Cheap tricks): Use @smallexample rather than @example, to avoid
long lines.
docs: @file and @option markup fixes.
* doc/libtool.texi (Creating object files, Linking libraries)
(Linking executables, Link mode, Finish mode, Autoconf macros)
(Using Automake, Inter-library dependencies, Dlpreopening)
(Linking with dlopened modules, Finding the dlname)

2010-09-12 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
tests: avoid empty AT_DATA contents, for zsh.
* tests/libtoolize.at (libtoolize macro serial update)
(libtoolize config files serial update, LIBTOOLIZE_OPTIONS):
Do not create empty files with AT_DATA, the latter is documented
to require a final newline. Fixes testsuite failures with zsh
4.3.10.
2010-09-12 Charles Wilson <[email protected]>
When assigning $linklib value, honor [-all]-static[-libtool-libs]
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): When prefer_static_libs
and static library exists, ensure old_library name is used as $linklib.
Fixes failure on mingw when both static and shared libraries are
present.
2010-09-12 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
tests: work around zsh use of $options variable.
* tests/getopt-m4sh.at: Rename $options to $opts, the former is
special for zsh 4.3.10.
Fix AC_NO_EXECUTABLES test failure on IRIX 6.5.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [irix]: Cache result
of link check for -Wl,-exported_symbol.
* tests/no-executables.at (AC_NO_EXECUTABLES): Set
lt_cv_irix_exported_symbol, to avoid link check.
2010-09-12 Jürgen Reuter <[email protected]> (tiny change)

(func_win32_libid, func_cygming_gnu_implib_p)
(func_cygming_ms_implib_p): When using the name lister to find
symbols in files, convert the file names to a format appropriate
for the tool. Fixes testsuite issues in mdemo-static-make.test
and mdemo-make.test when doing a cross from Cygwin/Wine to MinGW
using MinGW native tools (a.k.a. a "faked" cross).
2010-09-09 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>
Fix dependency tracking for MSYS/MinGW.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_to_tool_file): Add lazy
argument which allows the user to specify conversions that are
not desired.
(func_mode_compile): Don't convert source files on MSYS, as
MSYS does it for us. This fixes a regression introduced by
"Use func_to_tool_file instead of fix_srcfile_path".
Reported by Charles Wilson.
2010-09-08 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>

[cygwin, mingw, pw32, cegcc] <cl*, postlink_cmds>: Make
sure the -outputresource: file name for the manifest tool is
in w32 format.
<cl*, archive_expsym_cmds>: Likewise for the MSVC command file
containing the exports and the output file name.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Precalculate the
toolchain format of the output_objdir file name and store it in
the tool_output_objdir variable. Also replace any occurrence of
@TOOL_OUTPUT@ in postlink_cmds with the toolchain version of the
@OUTPUT@ content.
* doc/libtool.texi (libtool script content): Update description
of postlink_cmds to mention @TOOL_OUTPUT@.
2010-09-06 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>

symbols and when creating archives using command files (or
response files), make sure that both the name of the command
file and the content are made up of file names in a format
appropriate for the tool. Fixes stresstest.at on MSYS when
run with low command line length.
Convert file names to toolchain format when linking.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): When exporting
symbols and when linking using command files (or response
files), make sure that both the name of the command file and
the content are made up of file names in a format appropriate
for the tool. Fixes problems in stresstest.at on MSYS when run
with low command line length.
Add file name conversion from $build to toolchain.
* configure.ac: Ensure to_tool_file_cmd is available to Makefile.

2010-09-02 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
tests: avoid spurious test failure due to library mode on HP-UX.
* tests/help.at (debug tracing): Use $lt_INSTALL not cp for
install mode, the latter will not overwrite an existing library
with mode 555.
2010-09-01 Charles Wilson <[email protected]>
Path conversion documentation
* doc/libtool.texi (Platform quirks): Add new subsections
'Cross compiling' and 'File name conversion'.
2010-09-01 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
tests: avoid spurious pic_flag test failure on HP-UX 10.20.
* tests/pic_flag.at (override pic_flag at configure time):
Match HP-UX 10.20 cc warning about unknown options, to skip
the test.
tests: fix localization test for GCC on HP-UX 11.00.
* tests/localization.at (localized compiler messages): Be sure
to switch the locale only for the actual compiler commands, so
we don't pick up warnings from helper tools such as diff which
may not have the locale installed.
Avoid leaking make flags into testsuite results.
* tests/defs.m4sh: Unset MFLAGS, MAKEFLAGS, MAKELEVEL, __MKLVL__
and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO.

demo-noinst-link tests with BSD and Tru64 make if the user uses
'make -k', as the exit status of the latter is not reliable.
2010-09-01 Gary V. Vaughan <[email protected]>
Remove announce-gen.m4sh and mailnotify.m4sh.
* libltdl/config/announce-gen.m4sh: Removed. This script has
no apparent connection to libtool functionality, and mostly
duplicates the better maintained gnulib announce-gen script.
* libltdl/config/mailnotify.sh: Removed. This script was used
by only clcommit.m4sh and announce-gen.m4sh, both of which are
now removed too.
* Makefile.maint (announce-gen, libltdl/config/mailnotify):
Targets removed.
* bootstrap: Remove the mailnotify regeneration warning.
* HACKING (Release Procedure): Remove references to
announce-gen.
(Alpha release note template, Full release note template):
Reinstated from before announce-gen was introduced.
Remove clcommit.m4sh.
* clcommit.m4sh: Removed. This script was written to help keep
ChangeLog and commit messages in sync when committing to CVS,
and is an anachronism now that Libtool uses git.
* Makefile.maint (commit): Target removed.
* bootstrap: Don't generate commit.
* HACKING (Release Procedure): Adjusted.
2010-08-31 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>
archive-in-archive.at passes with Microsoft lib.
* tests/archive-in-archive.at: Tighten test to check that the desired
object files are indeed part of the archive. Microsoft lib still
passes, so remove the expected failure for that case.
Dump archiver output to the log when testing @file support.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Redirect stdout to config.log
when testing for @file support.
Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
Silence archiver output when testing @file support.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Redirect stdout and stderr
to the bit bucket when testing for @file support.
2010-08-31 Gary V. Vaughan <[email protected]>
Remove double `Generated from foo.m4sh' lines.
We now require a modern Autoconf to bootstrap libtool, which
will add the `Generated by ...' boiler-plate automatically,
so we can remove the hand-rolled @configure_input@
substitutions we had been doing:
* clcommit.m4sh, libtoolize.m4sh, tests/defs.sh,
libltdl/config/announce-gen.m4sh, libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh,
libltdl/config/mailnotify.m4sh: Remove @configure_input@.
* Makefile.am (edit): Remove configure_input substitution.
(libtoolize, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh, libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4)
(tests/defs): Don't set `$input' shell variable.
* Makefile.maint (announce_gen, libltdl/config/mailnotify)
(commit): Likewise.

Extract the archive name from the .la file and use $AR (not ar).
* Makefile.am: Pass AR through to the testsuite.
* tests/archive-in-archive.at: Bump copyright year. Extract archive
name from the .la file instead of hardcoding the name, and allow
different archivers. Also clarify that the tested functionality is
currently broken.

tests: skip -Wall -Werror with Tru64 cc in cwrapper test.
* tests/cwrapper.at (cwrapper for uninstalled executables):
Use a link test rather than a compile test to flesh out unknown
compiler flags starting with -W; Tru64/OSF1 cc will happily
accept `-Wall -Werror' as indication to pass flags on to
subprocesses.
tests: avoid getopt-m4sh failures when autom4te is not available.
* tests/getopt-m4sh.at (_LT_AT_GETOPT_M4SH_SETUP):
Check $M4SH --version, skip on failure.
tests: mark 'syntax of .la files' as XFAIL, expose failure.
* tests/lalib-syntax.at (syntax of .la files): Assert that the
string returned by lt_dlerror after a failure is non-NULL, so
the failure shows up on systems other than Solaris. Mark test
as expected to fail.
Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.
2010-08-30 Eric Blake <[email protected]>
Simplify recent configure quoting portability workaround.
* configure.ac: Simplify setting of timestamp_string.
2010-08-30 Charles Wilson <[email protected]>
Update path conversion warning messages
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_convert_file_check): Update
comments and warning message.
(func_convert_path_check): Update warning message.
2010-08-29 Peter Rosin <[email protected]>
Fix typo when renaming path conversion functions.
* tests/testsuite.at: Ensure to_host_file_cmd is passed as a
variable setting on the configure line for (new testsuite) tests.
2010-08-29 Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Support GCC LTO on GNU/Linux.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Allow through
flags matching -O*, -flto*, -fwhopr, -fuse-linker-plugin.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Drop symbols
starting with __gnu_lto.
(_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [linux] <archive_cmds, archive_expsyms_cmds>:
Add $pic_flag for GCC.
(_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [linux] <archive_cmds, archive_expsyms_cmds>:
Likewise.
(_LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS): Ignore files matching *.lto.o.
* NEWS: Update.
Disable GCC LTO for verbose library extraction.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS): Temporarily
append -fno-lto or -fno-whopr to CFLAGS if CC or CFLAGS (which
are substituted with the per-language variables here) contain
-flto or match -fwhopr*, respectively.
Save and restore CFLAGS properly inside libtool.m4 macros.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Use different
temporary variables for saved and restored values of $LIBS,
$CFLAGS, to avoid overlap with the *_CONFIG macros.
(_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, _LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG, _LT_LANG_FC_CONFIG)
(_LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, _LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Also save and restore
$CFLAGS, and override it with per-language flags, so that in
case output_verbose_link_cmd uses $CFLAGS, the right flags are
used.
Work around yet another shell quoting portability issue.
* configure.ac: Avoid nonportable quoted alternate variable
value in unquoted here document, so Solaris 10 sh and Tru64
ksh do not print spurious extra quotes.
Silence order-only configure test for AIX make.
* configure.ac: Also drop standard output, for AIX 5.1 make.
2010-08-28 Charles Wilson <[email protected]>

Fix symlist variable path to use _WIN32 instead of __WINDOWS__.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh, libltdl/libltdl/lt_system.h,
libltdl/m4/libtool.m4, tests/demo/foo.h, tests/pdemo/foo.h:
Change __WINDOWS__ to _WIN32.
Report by Charles Wilson.
Add $pic_flag to archive_cmds and archive_expsym_cmds.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
<archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds>

[solaris]: Add $pic_flag if $GXX and not GCC 2.7.
Uniform const'ness of symlist variable lt_preloaded_symbols.
On some systems, lt_preloaded_symbols may not be declared
const due to relocation issues. C99 requires qualification to
match for compatible declarations, so ensure we declare
const'ness in the same way everywhere; link-time optimization
may otherwise rightfully complain about inconsistencies.
Since ltdl.h may not depend upon config.h, rely on system
defines for choosing const'ness.
* NEWS: Update.
* doc/libtool.texi (Dlpreopening): Document this issue.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms):
[__WINDOWS__, __CYGWIN__, _WIN32_WCE]: Define LT_DLSYM_CONST
according to system defines. Remove old shell cruft. Use
LT_DLSYM_CONST for lt_${my_prefix}_LTX_preloaded_symbols.
* libltdl/libltdl/lt_system.h (LT_DLSYM_CONST): Likewise,
define LT_DLSYM_CONST according to system defines.
* tests/demo/foo.h (LT_DLSYM_CONST): Likewise.
* tests/pdemo/foo.h (LT_DLSYM_CONST): Likewise.
* tests/demo/dlmain.c (lt_dlsymlist): Use LT_DLSYM_CONST.

Likewise.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Likewise
for configure test code.

Ensure cwrapper magic string is not optimized away.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_emit_cwrapperexe_src):
Declare MAGIC_EXE as volatile.

Fix quoting in non-XSI func_xform, for IRIX sh.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_xform): Remove spurious extra
M4 quotes.
Fix response file test for unreliable exit status of IRIX ar.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): IRIX ar will not fail
over a command-line argument specifying a nonexistent file (such
as `@FILE'), so ensure failure with a reponse file containing
a nonexistent file. Also, use lt_* variable prefix for
temporary variables.
