Log Message:
Update to 2.65:
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.65 (2009-11-21) [stable]
Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.64.*.
** Autoconf is now licensed under the General Public License version 3
or later (GPLv3+). As with earlier versions, the license includes
an exception clause so that you may release a configure script
generated by autoconf under the license of your own program.
** New macros to support Objective C++.
AC_PROG_OBJCXX AC_PROG_OBJCXXCPP
** The following undocumented autoconf macros, removed in Autoconf 2.64,
have been reinstated:
AH_CHECK_HEADERS
These macros are present only for backwards compatibility purposes.
** The macro AC_LANG_COMPILER no longer fails on embedded systems that
lack fopen in the C library, such as AVR or RTEMS (regression
introduced in 2.64).
** The AC_FC_FREEFORM macro no longer suffers from a whitespace bug that
made it fail with some Fortran compilers (regression introduced in
2.64).
** The AC_TYPE_UINT64_T and AC_TYPE_INT64_T macros have been fixed to no
longer mistakenly select a 32-bit type on some compilers (bug present
since macros were introduced in 2.59c).
** The AC_FUNC_MMAP macro has been fixed to be portable to systems like
Cygwin (bug present since macro was introduced in 2.0).
** The following documented autotest macros are new:
AT_CHECK_EUNIT
** The following m4sugar macros now quote their expansion:
m4_toupper m4_tolower
** The following m4sugar macros are new:
m4_escape
** The m4sugar macro m4_text_wrap now copes with embedded quoting without
requiring quadrigraphs. For uses like AC_ARG_VAR([a], [[b c]]),
this gives the intuitive behavior of "[b c]" in the output (2.63
gave the output of "[b], [c]", and 2.64 encountered a failure).
** The `$tmp' temporary directory used in config.status is documented for
public use now.
** config.status now provides a --config option to produce the configuration.
** Many cache variables used by Autoconf's macros are now documented.
** Configure scripts work better on DJGPP by avoiding a bug present in
the DJGPP port of bash 2.04 in handling 'return' in a shell
function (regression introduced in 2.64).
