When using the top-level configure script but subdir Makefiles, the
newlib_basedir value gets a bit out of sync: it's relative to where
configure lives, not where the Makefile lives. Move the abs setting
from the top-level configure script into acinclude.m4 so we can rely
on it being available everywhere. Although this commit doesn't use
it anywhere, just lays the groundwork.
The machine configure scripts are all effectively stub scripts that
pass the higher level options to its own makefile. There were only
three doing custom tests. The rest were all effectively the same as
the libc/ configure script.
So instead of recursively running configure in all of these subdirs,
generate their makefiles from the top-level configure. For the few
unique ones, deploy a pattern of including subdir logic via m4:
m4_include([machine/nds32/acinclude.m4])
Some of the generated machine makefiles have a bunch of extra stuff
added to them, but that's because they were inconsistent in their
configure libtool calls. The top-level has it, so it exports some
new vars to the ones that weren't already.
The sys/{configure,Makefile} files exist to fan out to the specific
sys/$arch/ subdir, and to possibly generate a crt0. We already have
all that same info in the libc/ dir itself, so by moving the recursive
configure and make calls into it, we can cut off some of this logic
entirely and save the overhead.
For arches that don't have a sys subdir, it means they can skip the
logic entirely.
The sys subdir itself is kept for the crt0 logic, for now. We'll try
and clean that up next.
The machine/{configure,Makefile} files exist only to fan out to the
specific machine/$arch/ subdir. We already have all that same info
in the libc/ dir itself, so by moving the recursive configure and
make calls into it, we can cut off this logic entirely and save the
overhead.
For arches that don't have a machine subdir, it means they can skip
the logic entirely. Although there's prob not too many of those.
This was added decades ago, but the commit message lacks any
explanation, and it was unused when it was merged. It's still
unused today. So punt it all.
This matches what the other GNU toolchain projects have done already.
The generated diff in practice isn't terribly large. This will allow
more use of subdir local.mk includes due to fixes & improvements that
came after the 1.11 release series.
The newlib & libgloss dirs are already generated using autoconf-2.69.
To avoid merging new code and/or accidental regeneration using diff
versions, leverage config/override.m4 to pin to 2.69 exactly. This
matches what gcc/binutils/gdb are already doing.
The README file already says to use autoconf-2.69.
To accomplish this, it's just as simple as adding -I flags to the
top-level config/ dir when running aclocal. This is because the
override.m4 file overrides AC_INIT to first require the specific
autoconf version before calling the real AC_INIT.
Since automake deprecated the INCLUDES name in favor of AM_CPPFLAGS,
change all existing users over. The generated code is the same since
the two variables have been used in the same exact places by design.
There are other cleanups to be done, but lets focus on just renaming
here so we can upgrade to a newer automake version w/out triggering
new warnings.
The 'cygnus' option was removed from automake 1.13 in 2012, so the
presence of this option prevents that or a later version of automake
being used.
A check-list of the effects of '--cygnus' from the automake 1.12
documentation, and steps taken (where possible) to preserve those
effects (See also this thread [1] for discussion on that):
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-03/msg00048.html
1. The foreign strictness is implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
2. The options no-installinfo, no-dependencies and no-dist are implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
Future work: Remove no-dependencies and any explicit header dependencies,
and use automatic dependency tracking instead. Are there explicit rules
which are now redundant to removing no-installinfo and no-dist?
3. The macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is required.
Already present in newlib/acinclude.m4
Note that maintainer-mode is still disabled by default.
4. Info files are always created in the build directory, and not in the
source directory.
This appears to be an error in the automake documentation describing
'--cygnus' [2]. newlib's info files are generated in the source
directory, and no special steps are needed to keep doing that.
[2] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-04/msg00028.html
5. texinfo.tex is not required if a Texinfo source file is specified.
(The assumption is that the file will be supplied, but in a place that
automake cannot find.)
This effect is overriden by an explicit setting of the TEXINFO_TEX
variable (the directory part of which is fed into texi2X via the
TEXINPUTS environment variable).
6. Certain tools will be searched for in the build tree as well as in the
user's PATH. These tools are runtest, expect, makeinfo and texi2dvi.
For obscure automake reasons, this effect of '--cygnus' is not active
for makeinfo in newlib's configury.
However, there appears to be top-level configury which selects in-tree
runtest, expect and makeinfo, if present. So, if that works as it
appears, this effect is preserved. If not, this may cause problem if
anyone is building those tools in-tree.
This effect is not preserved for texi2dvi. This may cause problems if
anyone is building texinfo in-tree.
If needed, explicit checks for those tools looking in places relative to
$(top_srcdir)/../ as well as in PATH could be added.
7. The check target doesn't depend on all.
This effect is not preseved. The check target now depends on the all
target.
This concern seems somewhat academic given the current state of the
testsuite.
Also note that this doesn't touch libgloss.
This patch fixed a problem which isn't in newlib, but in projects
incorrectly using symbols from the reserved namespace.
This reverts commit 3ba1bd0d9d.
We're seeing a build failure in GNU sim code which is using _P locally
but the ctype.h define clashes with it. Rename these to use the same
symbols that glibc does. They're a bit more verbose, but seems likely
that we'll have fewer conflicts if glibc isn't seeing them.
However, these shortnames are still used internally by ctype modules
to produce pretty concise source code, so move the short names to the
internal ctype_.h where short name conflicts shouldn't show up.
So far the build mechanism in newlib only allowed to either define
machine-specific headers, or headers shared between all machines.
In some cases, architectures are sufficiently alike to share header
files between them, but not with other architectures. A good example
is ix86 vs. x86_64, which share certain traits with each other, but
not with other architectures.
Introduce a new configure variable called "shared_machine_dir". This
dir can then be used for headers shared between architectures.

The commit 46ba1675c4 accidently changed a

signed integer, see also "newlib/libc/ctype/caseconv.t".
Unfortunately, a standard GCC/Newlib build is done without
-Wsign-conversion. Using this warning option would have helped to avoid
this bug:

Subject: [PATCH] nvptx port
This port adds support for Nvidia GPU's, which are primarily used as
offload accelerators in OpenACC and OpenMP.
E.g. arm ABI requires -fshort-enums for bare-metal toolchains.
Given there are only 29 category enums, the compiler chooses an
8 bit enum type, so a size of 11 bits for the bitfield leads to
a compile time error:
error: width of 'cat' exceeds its type
enum category cat: 11;
^~~
Fix this by aligning the size of the category members to byte
borders.

Scripts do not try to acquire Unicode data by best-effort magic anymore.
Options supported:
-h for help
-i to copy Unicode data from /usr/share/unicode/ucd first
-u to download Unicode data from unicode.org first
If (despite of -i or -u if given) the necessary Unicode files are not
available locally, table generation is skipped, but no error code is
returned, so not to obstruct the build process if called from a Makefile.

touupper and toulower didn't return a value in all cases. Worse,
this only broke Cygwin when building without optimization for debug

The tow* functions use an included case conversion table which can be
generated from Unicode data.
The isw* functions use a character categories table (provided by
categories.c) which can be generated from Unicode data.
Delegation between current-locale and specific-locale-dependent functions
was reverted towards the generic locale-dependent functions (*_l.c);
this is however only relevant on systems with non-Unicode wide character
locales, thus not on Cygwin.
Table categories.t and tag enumeration categories.cat provide
character class data for most of the isw* functions.
These data are generated from Unicode data.

_ctype_b is defined in ctype_.c as a const char array for non cygwin
targets allowing negative ctype index but as a char array for the same
targets in ctype_.h, giving type conflict at compile time. This is
because the cygwin targets are not treated specially in the latter file.
This patch adds the necessary logic for cygwin targets in ctype_.h.
