I looked again at trying to use the latest gnulib implemenentations
of GNU glob and fnmatch, and the effort required to extract them
from gnulib and make them portable to systems which don't support
configure is simply far too daunting for me. However it's clear
that the previous implementations are growing too long on the tooth
to continue to be used without some maintenance, so perform some
upkeep on them.
- Remove support for pre-ANSI function definitions.
- Remove the obsolete "register" keyword.
- Assume standard ISO C90/C99 header file support.
- Assume standard ISO C "void" and "const" support.
- Avoid symbols prefixed with "__" as they're reserved.
* maintMakefile: Add a rule to verify lib has the latest content.
* src/dir.c: Use void* not __ptr_t which was removed.
* gl/lib/glob.c: See above.
* gl/lib/fnmatch.in.h: See above.
* gl/lib/glob.in.h: See above.
* gl/lib/fnmatch.c: See above. Remove __strchrnul(): it is not
checked anywhere and is only used in one place anyway.
The gl subdirectory contains our local versions of gnulib module
implementations, so move m4/acinclude.m4 and m4/dospaths.m4 there.
* gl/modules/make-macros: Create a new module to handle the macros.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the new module.
* configure.ac: Macro invocation is moved to make-macros.
* m4/.gitignore: Delete unnecessary ignore file: m4 is empty.
* .gitignore: Add m4/ as an ignored directory.
The gl subdirectory contains our local versions of gnulib module
implementations, so move fnmatch* and glob* from lib to gl/lib.
* gl/modules/make-glob: Add a proper Files: section.
* lib/.gitignore: Delete unnecessary ignore file: lib is empty.
* .gitignore: Add lib/ as an ignored directory.
Move content from glob/* and config/* into standard GNU directory
locations lib/* and m4/*.
Install the gnulib bootstrap script and its configuration file, and
create a bootstrap.bat file for Windows. Update the README.git file
with new requirements and instructions for building from Git.
At this point we only install the alloca, getloadavg, and FDL modules
from gnulib. We keep our old glob/fnmatch implementation since the
gnulib versions require significant amounts of infrastructure which
doesn't exist on Windows yet. Further work is required here.
Due to a problem with gnulib's version of getloadavg, we need to bump
the minimum required version of automake to 1.16.1 unfortunately.
