Since AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE calls AC_PROG_AWK, and some configure.ac
scripts call it too, we end up testing for awk multiple times. If
we change NEWLIB_CONFIGURE to require the macro instead, then it
makes sure it's always expanded, but only once.
While we're here, do the same thing with AC_PROG_INSTALL since it
is also called by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, although it doesn't currently
result in duplicate configure checks.
Since automake already sets per-library CCASFLAGS to $(AM_CCASFLAGS)
by default, there's no need to explicitly set it here.
Many of these dirs don't have .S files in the first place, so the rule
doesn't even do anything. That can easily be seen when Makefile.in has
no changes as a result.
For the dirs with .S files, the custom rules are the same as the pattern
.S.o rules, so this is a nice cleanup.
The only dir that was adding extra flags (newlib/libc/machine/mn10300/)
to the per-library setting can have it moved to the global AM_CCASFLAGS
since the subdir only has one target. Although the setting just adds
extra debugging flags, so maybe it should be deleted in general.
There are a few dirs that we leave the redundant setting in place. This
is to workaround an automake limitation in subdirs that support building
with & w/out libtool:
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Objects-created-both-with-libtool-and-without.html
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.
The configure scripts were regenerated with 2.69 for the newlib-4.2.0
release in 484d2ebf8d, but the aclocal
files were not. Do that now to avoid confusion between the two as to
which version of autoconf was used.
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.
The Cortex-R52 processor is an Armv8-R processor with a NEON unit. This
fix prevents conflicting architecture profiles A/R errors issued by the
linker.

The previous fenv support for ARM used the soft-float implementation of
FreeBSD. Newlib uses the one from libgcc by default. They are not
compatible. Having an GCC incompatible soft-float fenv support in
Newlib makes no sense. A long-term solution could be to provide a
libgcc compatible soft-float support. This likely requires changes in
the GCC configuration. For now, provide a stub implementation for
soft-float multilibs similar to RISC-V.
Move implementation to one file and delete now unused files. Hide
implementation details. Remove function parameter names from header
file to avoid name conflicts.
Provide VFP support if __SOFTFP__ is not defined like glibc.

Most code in newlib already uses unified syntax, but just a couple of
laggards remain. This patch removes these and means the the entire
code base has now been converted.

Subject: [PATCH] nvptx port
This port adds support for Nvidia GPU's, which are primarily used as
offload accelerators in OpenACC and OpenMP.
With this change the arm platform can now be fully compiled with Clang.
Tested by comparing the output with GCC 4.8.2, and Clang 4.0, using a
variety of arches, big/little endianness, and arm/thumb mode to verify
the generated assembly output matches between GCC vs Clang with UAL, and
also GCC with UAL vs GCC with non-UAL, for all preprocessor code blocks.
The only difference found is an extra nop at the end of the function
when compiled with GCC using armv7-a/thumb/little-endian/-O2 compared to
Clang. The nop is not emitted when compiled in big-endian mode.
The implementation of the POSIX access() function is nothing machine
specific like memcpy(), etc. Move it back to the system domain. This
avoids problems due to the include search order of the Newlib/GCC build
which picks up machine includes before system includes.

In patch b219285f87 you have a syntax
error in the PLD instruction. The syntax for the pld argument should be
in square brackets as it's a memory address like so: pld [r1]. With
your patch the newlib build fails for armv7-a targets. This patch fixes
the build failures.
Tested by making sure the newlib build completes successfully.

LTO can re-order top-level assembly blocks, which can cause this
macro definition to appear after its use (or not at all), causing
compilation failures. On modern toolchains (armv4t+), assembly
should write `bx lr` in all cases, and linkers will transparently
convert them to `mov pc, lr`, allowing us to simply remove the
macro.

For the armv4.S file, preserve this macro to maximize backwards
compatibility.
LTO can re-order top-level assembly blocks, which can cause this
