Hi Ralf, Coming back to our discussion of AC_TRY_RUN etc. in [1] <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-09/msg00042.html> [2] <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-09/msg00056.html>
I now realized that "autoconf -Wall" is giving warnings because of gettext.m4, intl.m4, and similar, which are shared between gettext and gnulib. I'm considering to replace the uses of AC_TRY_RUN etc. for this reason. But I have to come back to the drawbacks of AC_*_IFELSE (item 1 in [1]). > I agree on the less-than-ideal naming of the AC_*_IFELSE macros. Good. Do you have any plans to achieve a better naming? > > - Pitfall: It's easy to forget the invocation of AC_LANG_SOURCE, and > > then > > autoconf generates code which will fail on many but not all > > platforms. > > We should think about what we can do to address this, thanks for the > suggestion. Have you or the other Autoconf developers found a way to address this? > Users of your macros have to live with the constant set of warnings > about obsolete macro usage The attached patches will fix this.
