[PATCH 00/11] Make 'subdir-objects' mandatory, and related cleanups

This series is based off of maint, but is meant to be merged in master only (if you are reading this message on the bug-automake list: the complete series is only posted on the automake-patches list, to avoid clogging the bug tracker with tons of patches). Note that the first patch of this series

[PATCH 11/11] depend: reduce code duplication, de-uglify make verbose output

Verbose output from compilation recipes had been made more messy by the previous "simplifying" commit XXX. With this patch, not only we reduce some code duplication, but also improve that output again, for the joy of users who dislike silent-rules :-) * lib/am/depend2.am: Use the new '%XSOURCE%'

[PATCH 07/11] depend2.am: refactor and remove code duplication

* lib/am/depend2.am: Here. The obsolescent comments removed from this same file in commit 'v1.13.1-42-g8f06bfb' of 2012-01-09, "depend2.am: fix comments on verbosity of compilation rules", gave the rationale for why that code duplication was there in the first place (rationale that, like those com

[PATCH 09/11] depend2.am: reduce code duplication

Just a simplification; no semantic change is intended. * lib/am/depend2.am (am__set_depbase): New. Use it in all the three flavours of recipes (.o, .obj, .lo), instead of duplicating its code. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini --- lib/am/depend2.am | 17 - 1 file changed, 8 inse

[PATCH 02/11] subdir-objects: enable unconditionally

See automake bug#13378. The fact that Automake-generated Makefiles places compiled object files in the current directory by default, also when the corresponding source file is in a subdirectory, is basically an historical accident, due to the fact that the 'subdir-objects' option had only been int

[PATCH 06/11] Automake::Language: drop unused fields 'compile_flag' and 'output_flag'

They are unused after the recent flurry of changes. This is just a simplification; no semantic change is intended. * automake.in: Here, in the Automake::Language 'Class::Struct' definition and in all the 'register_language()' invocations. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini --- automake.in | 29 -

[PATCH 03/11] cleanup: having subdir-objects mandatory allow us some simplifications

Few minor cleanups made possible by earlier changes, plus other minor cleanups triggered in cascade. No semantic change is intended. This is a follow-up on previous commit 'XXX', and an adjusted backport of Automake-NG commit 'v1.12.1-315-gc97d41b' of 2012-06-08, "[ng] cleanup: after enabling of

[PATCH 04/11] depend: assume we can always pass "-o" to the C compiler

This is the case after the change in commit XXX of -MM-DD, ``compile: use 'compile' script when "-c -o" is used with losing compilers'' This is just a simplification; no semantic changes are intended. * automake.in (handle_languages): Drop transform '%-o%', and definitions of '$output_flag'.

[PATCH 05/11] depend: assume '-c' compiler flag always means to produce object files

Rather than fully-fledged executables. This is the case for all the compilers of all languages supported by Automake. This is just a simplification; no semantic changes are intended. * automake.in (handle_languages): Drop transform '%-c%'. * lib/am/depend2.am: Adjust to just assume the '%-c%' tr

[PATCH 01/11] compile: avoid AC_PROG_CC messy rewrite

Instead, only touch up AC_PROG_CC to distribute the 'compile' script and to rewrite $CC if a losing compiler is detected. We can do so because Autoconf 2.70 (which we now require) has been so kind to implement the features we need (through a private hook made explicitly available to us), in commit
