- # ## ---------------------------- ##
411
- # ## How `autoupdate' functions. ##
412
- # ## ---------------------------- ##
413
- #
414
- # The task of `autoupdate' is not trivial: the biggest difficulty being
415
- # that you must limit the changes to the parts that really need to be
416
- # updated. Finding a satisfying implementation proved to be quite hard,
417
- # as this is the fifth implementation of `autoupdate'.
418
- #
419
- # Below, we will use a simple example of an obsolete macro:
420
- #
421
- # AU_DEFUN([OLD], [NEW([$1, $2], m4_eval([$1 + $2]))])
422
- # AC_DEFUN([NEW], [echo "sum($1) = $2"])
423
- #
424
- # the input file contains
425
- #
426
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
427
- # OLD(1, 2)
428
- # NEW([0, 0], [0])
429
- #
430
- # Of course the expected output is
431
- #
432
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
433
- # NEW([1, 2], [3])
434
- # NEW([0, 0], [0])
435
- #
436
- #
437
- # # First implementation: sed
438
- # # =========================
439
- #
440
- # The first implementation was only able to change the name of obsolete
441
- # macros.
442
- #
443
- # The file `acoldnames.m4' defined the old names based on the new names.
444
- # It was simple then to produce a sed script such as:
445
- #
446
- # s/OLD/NEW/g
447
- #
448
- # Updating merely consisted in running this script on the file to
449
- # update.
450
- #
451
- # This scheme suffers from an obvious limitation: that `autoupdate' was
452
- # unable to cope with new macros that just swap some of its arguments
453
- # compared to the old macro. Fortunately, that was enough to upgrade
454
- # from Autoconf 1 to Autoconf 2. (But I have no idea whether the
455
- # changes in Autoconf 2 were precisely limited by this constraint.)
456
- #
457
- #
458
- # # Second implementation: hooks
459
- # # ============================
460
- #
461
- # The version 2.15 of Autoconf brought a vast number of changes compared
462
- # to 2.13, so a solution was needed. One could think of extending the
463
- # `sed' scripts with specialized code for complex macros. However, this
464
- # approach is of course full of flaws:
465
- #
466
- # a. the Autoconf maintainers have to write these snippets, which we
467
- # just don't want to,
468
- #
469
- # b. I really don't think you'll ever manage to handle the quoting of
470
- # m4 with a sed script.
471
- #
472
- # To satisfy a., let's remark that the code which implements the old
473
- # features in term of the new feature is exactly the code which should
474
- # replace the old code.
475
- #
476
- # To answer point b, as usual in the history of Autoconf, the answer, at
477
- # least on the paper, is simple: m4 is the best tool to parse m4, so
478
- # let's use m4.
479
- #
480
- # Therefore the specification is:
481
- #
482
- # I want to be able to tell Autoconf, well, m4, that the macro I
483
- # am currently defining is an obsolete macro (so that the user is
484
- # warned), and its code is the code to use when running autoconf,
485
- # but that the very same code has to be used when running
486
- # autoupdate. To summarize, the interface I want is
487
- # `AU_DEFUN(OLD-NAME, NEW-CODE)'.
488
- #
489
- #
490
- # Now for the technical details.
491
- #
492
- # When running autoconf, except for the warning, AU_DEFUN is basically
493
- # AC_DEFUN.
494
- #
495
- # When running autoupdate, we want *only* OLD-NAMEs to be expanded.
496
- # This obviously means that acgeneral.m4 and acspecific.m4 must not be
497
- # loaded. Nonetheless, because we want to use a rich set of m4
498
- # features, m4sugar.m4 is needed. Please note that the fact that
499
- # Autoconf's macros are not loaded is positive on two points:
500
- #
501
- # - we do get an updated `configure.ac', not a `configure'!
502
- #
503
- # - the old macros are replaced by *calls* to the new-macros, not the
504
- # body of the new macros, since their body is not defined!!!
505
- # (Whoa, that's really beautiful!).
506
- #
507
- # Additionally we need to disable the quotes when reading the input for
508
- # two reasons: first because otherwise `m4' will swallow the quotes of
509
- # other macros:
510
- #
511
- # NEW([1, 2], 3)
512
- # => NEW(1, 2, 3)
513
- #
514
- # and second, because we want to update the macro calls which are
515
- # quoted, i.e., we want
516
- #
517
- # FOO([OLD(1, 2)])
518
- # => FOO([NEW([1, 2], [3])])
519
- #
520
- # If we don't disable the quotes, only the macros called at the top
521
- # level would be updated.
522
- #
523
- # So, let's disable the quotes.
524
- #
525
- # Well, not quite: m4sugar.m4 still needs to use quotes for some macros.
526
- # Well, in this case, when running in autoupdate code, each macro first
527
- # reestablishes the quotes, expands itself, and disables the quotes.
528
- #
529
- # Thinking a bit more, you realize that in fact, people may use `define',
530
- # `ifelse' etc. in their files, and you certainly don't want to process
531
- # them. Another example is `dnl': you don't want to remove the
532
- # comments. You then realize you don't want exactly to import m4sugar:
533
- # you want to specify when it is enabled (macros active), and disabled.
534
- # m4sugar provides m4_disable/m4_enable to this end.
535
- #
536
- # You're getting close to it. Now remains one task: how to handle
537
- # twofold definitions?
538
- #
539
- # Remember that the same AU_DEFUN must be understood in two different
540
- # ways, the AC way, and the AU way.
541
- #
542
- # One first solution is to check whether acgeneral.m4 was loaded. But
543
- # that's definitely not cute. Another is simply to install `hooks',
544
- # that is to say, to keep in some place m4 knows, late `define' to be
545
- # triggered *only* in AU mode.
546
- #
547
- # You first think of designing AU_DEFUN like this:
548
- #
549
- # 1. AC_DEFUN(OLD-NAME,
550
- # [Warn the user OLD-NAME is obsolete.
551
- # NEW-CODE])
552
- #
553
- # 2. Store for late AU binding([define(OLD_NAME,
554
- # [Reestablish the quotes.
555
- # NEW-CODE
556
- # Disable the quotes.])])
557
- #
558
- # but this will not work: NEW-CODE probably uses $1, $2 etc. and these
559
- # guys will be replaced with the argument of `Store for late AU binding'
560
- # when you call it.
561
- #
562
- # I don't think there is a means to avoid this using this technology
563
- # (remember that $1 etc. are *always* expanded in m4). You may also try
564
- # to replace them with $[1] to preserve them for a later evaluation, but
565
- # if `Store for late AU binding' is properly written, it will remain
566
- # quoted till the end...
567
- #
568
- # You have to change technology. Since the problem is that `$1'
569
- # etc. should be `consumed' right away, one solution is to define now a
570
- # second macro, `AU_OLD-NAME', and to install a hook than binds OLD-NAME
571
- # to AU_OLD-NAME. Then, autoupdate.m4 just need to run the hooks. By
572
- # the way, the same method was used in autoheader.
573
- #
574
- #
575
- # # Third implementation: m4 namespaces by m4sugar
576
- # # ==============================================
577
- #
578
- # Actually, this implementation was just a clean up of the previous
579
- # implementation: instead of defining hooks by hand, m4sugar was equipped
580
- # with `namespaces'. What are they?
581
- #
582
- # Sometimes we want to disable some *set* of macros, and restore them
583
- # later. We provide support for this via namespaces.
584
- #
585
- # There are basically three characters playing this scene: defining a
586
- # macro in a namespace, disabling a namespace, and restoring a namespace
587
- # (i.e., all the definitions it holds).
588
- #
589
- # Technically, to define a MACRO in NAMESPACE means to define the macro
590
- # named `NAMESPACE::MACRO' to the VALUE. At the same time, we append
591
- # `undefine(NAME)' in the macro named `m4_disable(NAMESPACE)', and
592
- # similarly a binding of NAME to the value of `NAMESPACE::MACRO' in
593
- # `m4_enable(NAMESPACE)'. These mechanisms allow to bind the macro of
594
- # NAMESPACE and to unbind them at will.
595
- #
596
- # Of course this implementation is really inefficient: m4 has to grow
597
- # strings which can become quickly huge, which slows it significantly.
598
- #
599
- # In particular one should avoid as much as possible to use `define' for
600
- # temporaries. Now that `define' has quite a complex meaning, it is an
601
- # expensive operations that should be limited to macros. Use
602
- # `m4_define' for temporaries.
603
- #
604
- # Private copies of the macros we used in entering / exiting the m4sugar
605
- # namespace. It is much more convenient than fighting with the renamed
606
- # version of define etc.
607
- #
608
- #
609
- #
610
- # Those two implementations suffered from serious problems:
611
- #
612
- # - namespaces were really expensive, and incurred a major performance
613
- # loss on `autoconf' itself, not only `autoupdate'. One solution
614
- # would have been the limit the use of namespaces to `autoupdate', but
615
- # that's again some complications on m4sugar, which really doesn't need
616
- # this. So we wanted to get rid of the namespaces.
617
- #
618
- # - since the quotes were disabled, autoupdate was sometimes making
619
- # wrong guesses, for instance on:
620
- #
621
- # foo([1, 2])
622
- #
623
- # m4 saw 2 arguments: `[1'and `2]'. A simple solution, somewhat
624
- # fragile, is to reestablish the quotes right before all the obsolete
625
- # macros, i.e., to use sed so that the previous text becomes
626
- #
627
- # changequote([, ])foo([1, 2])
628
- #
629
- # To this end, one wants to trace the definition of obsolete macros.
630
- #
631
- # It was there that the limitations of the namespace approach became
632
- # painful: because it was a complex machinery playing a lot with the
633
- # builtins of m4 (hence, quite fragile), tracing was almost impossible.
634
- #
635
- #
636
- # So this approach was dropped.
637
- #
638
- #
639
- # # The fourth implementation: two steps
640
- # # ====================================
641
- #
642
- # If you drop the uses of namespaces, you no longer can compute the
643
- # updated value, and replace the old call with it simultaneously.
644
- #
645
- # Obviously you will use m4 to compute the updated values, but you may
646
- # use some other tool to achieve the replacement. Personally, I trust
647
- # nobody but m4 to parse m4, so below, m4 will perform the two tasks.
648
- #
649
- # How can m4 be used to replace *some* macros calls with newer values.
650
- # Well, that's dead simple: m4 should learn the definitions of obsolete
651
- # macros, forget its builtins, disable the quotes, and then run on the
652
- # input file, which amounts to doing this:
653
- #
654
- # divert(-1)dnl
655
- # changequote([, ])
656
- # define([OLD], [NEW([$1, $2], m4_eval([$1 + $2]))changequote()])
657
- # undefine([dnl])
658
- # undefine([m4_eval])
659
- # # Some more undefines...
660
- # changequote()
661
- # divert(0)dnl
662
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
663
- # changequote([, ])OLD(1, 2)
664
- # NEW([0, 0],
665
- # 0)
666
- #
667
- # which will result in
668
- #
669
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
670
- # NEW(1, 2, m4_eval(1 + 2))
671
- # NEW([0, 0],
672
- # 0)
673
- #
674
- # Grpmh. Two problems. A minor problem: it would have been much better
675
- # to have the `m4_eval' computed, and a major problem: you lost the
676
- # quotation in the result.
677
- #
678
- # Let's address the big problem first. One solution is to define any
679
- # modern macro to rewrite its calls with the proper quotation, thanks to
680
- # `$@'. Again, tracing the `define's makes it possible to know which
681
- # are these macros, so you input is:
682
- #
683
- # divert(-1)dnl
684
- # changequote([, ])
685
- # define([OLD], [NEW([$1, $2], m4_eval([$1 + $2]))changequote()])
686
- # define([NEW], [[NEW($@)]changequote()])
687
- # undefine([dnl])
688
- # undefine([m4_eval])
689
- # # Some more undefines...
690
- # changequote()
691
- # divert(0)dnl
692
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
693
- # changequote([, ])OLD(1, 2)
694
- # changequote([, ])NEW([0, 0],
695
- # 0)
696
- #
697
- # which results in
698
- #
699
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
700
- # NEW([1, 2],[m4_eval(1 + 2)])
701
- # NEW([0, 0],[0])
702
- #
703
- # Our problem is solved, i.e., the first call to `NEW' is properly
704
- # quoted, but introduced another problem: we changed the layout of the
705
- # second calls, which can be a drama in the case of huge macro calls
706
- # (think of `AC_TRY_RUN' for instance). This example didn't show it,
707
- # but we also introduced parens to macros which did not have some:
708
- #
709
- # AC_INIT
710
- # => AC_INIT()
711
- #
712
- # No big deal for the semantics (unless the macro depends upon $#, which
713
- # is bad), but the users would not be happy.
714
- #
715
- # Additionally, we introduced quotes that were not there before, which is
716
- # OK in most cases, but could change the semantics of the file.
717
- #
718
- # Cruel dilemma: we do want the auto-quoting definition of `NEW' when
719
- # evaluating `OLD', but we don't when we evaluate the second `NEW'.
720
- # Back to namespaces?
721
- #
722
- # No.
723
- #
724
- #
725
- # # Second step: replacement
726
- # # ------------------------
727
- #
728
- # No, as announced above, we will work in two steps: in a first step we
729
- # compute the updated values, and in a second step we replace them. Our
730
- # goal is something like this:
731
- #
732
- # divert(-1)dnl
733
- # changequote([, ])
734
- # define([OLD], [NEW([1, 2], [3])changequote()])
735
- # undefine([dnl])
736
- # undefine([m4_eval])
737
- # # Some more undefines...
738
- # changequote()
739
- # divert(0)dnl
740
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
741
- # changequote([, ])OLD(1, 2)
742
- # NEW([0, 0],
743
- # 0)
744
- #
745
- # i.e., the new value of `OLD' is precomputed using the auto-quoting
746
- # definition of `NEW' and the m4 builtins. We'll see how afterwards,
747
- # let's finish with the replacement.
748
- #
749
- # Of course the solution above is wrong: if there were other calls to
750
- # `OLD' with different values, we would smash them to the same value.
751
- # But it is quite easy to generalize the scheme above:
752
- #
753
- # divert(-1)dnl
754
- # changequote([, ])
755
- # define([OLD([1],[2])], [NEW([1, 2], [3])])
756
- # define([OLD], [defn([OLD($@)])changequote()])
757
- # undefine([dnl])
758
- # undefine([m4_eval])
759
- # # Some more undefines...
760
- # changequote()
761
- # divert(0)dnl
762
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
763
- # changequote([, ])OLD(1, 2)
764
- # NEW([0, 0],
765
- # 0)
766
- #
767
- # i.e., for each call to obsolete macros, we build an array `call =>
768
- # value', and use a macro to dispatch these values. This results in:
769
- #
770
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
771
- # NEW([1, 2], [3])
772
- # NEW([0, 0],
773
- # 0)
774
- #
775
- # In French, we say `Youpi !', which you might roughly translate as
776
- # `Yippee!'.

- # # Computing the `values' section
805
- # # ..............................
806
- #
807
- # First we need to get the list of all the AU macro uses. To this end,
808
- # first get the list of all the AU macros names by tracing `AU_DEFUN' in
809
- # the initialization of autoconf. This list is computed in the file
810
- # `au.txt' below.
811
- #
812
- # Then use this list to trace all the AU macro uses in the input. The
813
- # goal is obtain in the case of our example:
814
- #
815
- # [define([OLD([1],[2])],]@<<@OLD([1],[2])@>>@[)]
816
- #
817
- # This is the file `values.in' below.
818
- #
819
- # We want to evaluate this with only the builtins (in fact m4sugar), the
820
- # auto-quoting definitions of the new macros (`new.m4'), and the
821
- # definition of the old macros (`old.m4'). Computing these last two
822
- # files is easy: it's just a matter of using the right `--trace' option.
823
- #
824
- # So the content of `values.in' is:
825
- #
826
- # include($autoconf_dir/m4sugar.m4)
827
- # m4_include(new.m4)
828
- # m4_include(old.m4)
829
- # divert(0)dnl
830
- # [define([OLD([1],[2])],]@<<@OLD([1],[2])@>>@[)]
831
- #
832
- # We run m4 on it, which yields:
833
- #
834
- # define([OLD([1],[2])],@<<@NEW([1, 2], [3])@>>@)
835
- #
836
- # Transform `@<<@' and `@>>@' into quotes and we get
837
- #
838
- # define([OLD([1],[2])],[NEW([1, 2], [3])])
839
- #
840
- # This is `values.m4'.
841
- #
842
- #
843
- # # Computing the `dispatcher' section
844
- # # ..................................
845
- #
846
- # The `prologue', and the `disabler' are simple and need no commenting.
847
- #
848
- # To compute the `dispatcher' (`dispatch.m4'), again, it is a simple
849
- # matter of using the right `--trace'.
850
- #
851
- # Finally, the input is not exactly the input file, rather it is the
852
- # input file with the added `changequote'. To this end, we build
853
- # `quote.sed'.
854
- #
855
- #
856
- # # Putting it all together
857
- # # .......................
858
- #
859
- # We build the file `input.m4' which contains:
860
- #
861
- # divert(-1)dnl
862
- # changequote([, ])
863
- # include(values.m4)
864
- # include(dispatch.m4)
865
- # undefine([dnl])
866
- # undefine([eval])
867
- # # Some more undefines...
868
- # changequote()
869
- # divert(0)dnl
870
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
871
- # changequote([, ])OLD(1, 2)
872
- # NEW([0, 0],
873
- # 0)
874
- #
875
- # And we just run m4 on it. Et voila`, Monsieur ! Mais oui, mais oui.
876
- #
877
- # Well, there are a few additional technicalities. For instance, we
878
- # rely on `changequote', `ifelse' and `defn', but we don't want to
879
- # interpret the changequotes of the user, so we simply use another name:
880
- # `_au_changequote' etc.
881
- #
882
- #
883
- # # Failure of the fourth approach
884
- # # ------------------------------
885
- #
886
- # This approach is heavily based on traces, but then there is an obvious
887
- # problem: non expanded code will never be seen. In particular, the body
888
- # of a `define' definition is not seen, so on the input
889
- #
890
- # define([idem], [OLD(0, [$1])])
891
- #
892
- # autoupdate would never see the `OLD', and wouldn't have updated it.
893
- # Worse yet, if `idem(0)' was used later, then autoupdate sees that
894
- # `OLD' is used, computes the result for `OLD(0, 0)' and sets up a
895
- # dispatcher for `OLD'. Since there was no computed value for `OLD(0,
896
- # [$1])', the dispatcher would have replaced with... nothing, leading
897
- # to
898
- #
899
- # define([idem], [])
900
- #
901
- # With some more thinking, you see that the two step approach is wrong,
902
- # the namespace approach was much saner.
903
- #
904
- # But you learned a lot, in particular you realized that using traces
905
- # can make it possible to simulate namespaces!
906
- #
907
- #
908
- #
909
- # # The fifth implementation: m4 namespaces by files
910
- # # ================================================
911
- #
912
- # The fourth implementation demonstrated something unsurprising: you
913
- # cannot precompute, i.e., the namespace approach was the right one.
914
- # Still, we no longer want them, they're too expensive. Let's have a
915
- # look at the way it worked.
916
- #
917
- # When updating
918
- #
919
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
920
- # OLD(1, 2)
921
- # NEW([0, 0], [0])
922
- #
923
- # you evaluate `input.m4':
924
- #
925
- # divert(-1)
926
- # changequote([, ])
927
- # define([OLD],
928
- # [m4_enable()NEW([$1, $2], m4_eval([$1 + $2]))m4_disable()])
929
- # ...
930
- # m4_disable()
931
- # dnl The Unbelievable Truth
932
- # OLD(1, 2)
933
- # NEW([0, 0], [0])
934
- #
935
- # where `m4_disable' undefines the m4 and m4sugar, and disables the quotes
936
- # and comments:
937
- #
938
- # define([m4_disable],
939
- # [undefine([__file__])
940
- # ...
941
- # changecom(#)
942
- # changequote()])
943
- #
944
- # `m4_enable' does the converse: reestablish quotes and comments
945
- # --easy--, reestablish m4sugar --easy: just load `m4sugar.m4' again-- and
946
- # reenable the builtins. This later task requires that you first save
947
- # the builtins. And BTW, the definition above of `m4_disable' cannot
948
- # work: you undefined `changequote' before using it! So you need to use
949
- # your privates copies of the builtins. Let's introduce three files for
950
- # this:
951
- #
952
- # `m4save.m4'
953
- # moves the m4 builtins into the `_au_' pseudo namespace,
954
- # `unm4.m4'
955
- # undefines the builtins,
956
- # `m4.m4'
957
- # restores them.
958
- #
959
- # So `input.m4' is:
960
- #
961
- # divert(-1)
962
- # changequote([, ])
963
- #
964
- # include([m4save.m4])
965
- #
966
- # # Import AU.
967
- # define([OLD],
968
- # [m4_enable()NEW([$1, $2], m4_eval([$1 + $2]))m4_disable()])

977
- # # Disable the m4 builtins.

- # have to enable the quotes *before* any AU macro, and we know we need
990
- # to build autoquoting versions of the AC macros. But the autoquoting
991

994

1031

1032
- # Well... almost.
1033
- #
1034
- # There is a slight problem that remains: if an AU macro OUTER includes
1035
- # an AU macro INNER, then _au_enable will be run when entering OUTER
1036
- # and when entering INNER (not good, but not too bad yet). But when
1037
- # getting out of INNER, _au_disable will disable everything while we
1038
- # were still in OUTER. Badaboom.
1039
- #
1040
- # Therefore _au_enable and _au_disable have to be written to work by
1041
- # pairs: each _au_enable pushdef's _au_enabled, and each _au_disable
1042
- # popdef's _au_enabled. And of course _au_enable and _au_disable are
1043
- # effective when _au_enabled is *not* defined.
1044
- #
1045
- # Finally, version V' is ready. And there is much rejoicing. (And I
