That isn't it. It appears that yodl is required because Doc/Makefile tries to
build the manpages with it (using the .yo.1 rule). True?

Yes it is.  I have seen such undefines before; basically it's a
bit paranoid: 'zsh-debug' is passed to AC_ARG_ENABLE unquoted, so
they wanted to avoid it being a macro (and getting expanded).
As you say, simply drop the undefine, and quote zsh-debug.

If you remove the hunk beginning with

dnl The standard config.status is missing some essential features.
dnl So add them now.  See the comment at the end of Src/mkmakemod.sh.

config.status will be happier.  I haven't looked into why.

Makes no sense (unless 2.13 is broken aas well). I will remove these undefs
anyway. Let's finally release 4.0.1 :-)

BTW anybody else working on 2.50? Else I hope to produce new configure.ac

It (I mean, the whole configure.in)  does not work with 2.50 anyway, so I
won't commit it:

Urgh.  Well, it's harmless (and anyway I'm not using the latest autoconf
for the 4.0.1 distribution).  It can simply disappear without trace when
the present nightmare is over.  Might be something to do with quoting, but
what I wrote seems to agree with what the info pages for M4 suggest.

I'd say leave it out for now, then put it in after the release --- it
doesn't seem to be that urgent.

Gag.  OK, here's a full paranoid replacement just for now, instead of the
previous two attempts.  It produces an identical configure, which is all
I'm really worried about.  As soon as 4.0.1 is out of the way, configure.in
can be tidied up.  I'm quite happy for these to go then.

I'm just putting in the finishing touches (I hope), so it would help if
non-urgent patches could be kept out until everything's tagged.

There are a dozen more. Moreover, half of parameters do use this undefine
half do not. I believe, it is totally redundant - should I just remove them?

Oh, you're expecting to work...

This can probably go if configure.in gets rewritten, but it should be
safe for now.

I have no idea why you had this undefine.  In addition it's an
``impure'' macro name, i.e., you can only use this macro via defn, or
indir, but not as is.

To me it is useless (but I have not read your configure.in).  autoconf
thinks its useless too as it complains about undefining something not
defined.



I believe you, zsh people, should find some simplifications to your
configure.in.  In particular, note that you no longer have to perform
tricks to have AC_OUTPUT work on builddir/srcdir files, it's now
built in Autoconf.

This

reads `there is an error declared by undefine: zsh-debug is
undefined'.

I agree the original `undefine' from M4 does not do that.  I agree the
message should be

| configure.in:55: error: undefine: undefined macro: zsh-debug

But by experience I know we need to be stricter to catch asap bad
bugs, so I definitely prefer the 2.50 behavior.  I'd use
ifdef(,,undefine()).

Err, this is both right and wrong :)

Autoconf is on top of M4sh, a pure sh layer, itself on top of M4sugar,
a pure M4 layer.  It is today considered bad design to have kept some
primitive such as define etc. out of any pseudo name space.  That's
why M4sugar moves all the builtins (but dnl) into the `m4_' pseudo
name space.

Nevertheless, for backward compatibility, autoconf.m4 restores these:

     # We discourage the use of the non prefixed macro names: M4sugar maps
     # all the builtins into `m4_'.  Autoconf has been converted to these
     # names too.  But users may still depend upon these, so reestablish
     # them.

     m4_copy_unm4([m4_divert])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_divnum])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_errprint])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_esyscmd])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_ifdef])
     m4_copy([m4_if], [ifelse])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_incr])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_index])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_indir])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_len])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_patsubst])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_popdef])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_pushdef])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_regexp])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_sinclude])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_syscmd])

     m4_copy_unm4([m4_translit])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_undefine])
     m4_copy_unm4([m4_undivert])

So yes, define and undefine are undefined (in M4sh and M4sugar), but
no, you should not know about this (in Autoconf), you should not be
aware of it.

What happens?

No, this is what it does:

define([m4_define],   defn([define]))

configure.ac is the new canonical name.  Something about "configure.in"
being too vague, I think.

Yes, that is what I intended to do. Still, it may be impossible to maintain
both configure.in and configure.ac so I prefer to not disturb things until
release.

Is it using the --prefix-builtins (-P) option to m4 for this then? If
so, that sounds quite sensible because it can be quite annoying in m4
having to remember to quote any builtins. Anyway, that sounds like it
will be a fairly trivial fix to configure.in when we come to switch to

We might want to send configure.in to the Attic and name it configure.ac

Yes, thanks.

That memory leak happened with a _arguments-spec of the form `-+foo'.

These two are actually the same.  parse_pattern() uses the out-of-bound
pointer returned by parse_class().  The test in the latter was wrong for
badly formed classes like "{0-".

That line is:

		fwidth = v->pm->ct ? v->pm->ct : strlen(val);

So I guess someone was heap-allocating a param struct without fully
initialising it.

The patch contains some hunks for defensive programming for this.

And there was another leak:

purify.zsh.7649.out:MLK: 5 bytes leaked at 0x39dc38
  * This memory was allocated from:
	malloc         [rtlib.o]
	zalloc         [mem.c:490]
	ztrdup         [string.c:52]
	addvars        [exec.c:1536]

It's the line that ztrdup()s a string before calling the assignment
function, so I guess one of the set-functions doesn't free the string it
gets when not using it.  I found only one such functions, the one for
$USERNAME, but that isn't assigned in the test suite.  Hm.

Re: zsh and autoconf-2.50

[Andrej Borsenkow]

It is pretty useless as of now (BTW 2.50 is known to break some packages).
I wait for 4.0.1 release before starting hacking configure.in.

Grepping "leaked" from all those files shows a whopping 3 bytes lost from 
parse_cadef() during the entire testing process.  I'd say we're doing
pretty well.  Thanks, Josh.

There are a few array over-reads:

No over-writes.  Also a few uninitialized reads, all in the same place:

The uninitialized memory is deep in a zsh heap block, so the data about
where it was allocated doesn't help at all.

If there's anything else useful in there, it was lost in all the spew about
file descriptors being opened and duplicated.

Got it, thanks.

I have attached the Purify results of a ``gmake check'', hopefully that's OK
(it's not that big).  Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

I'm using

    PURIFYOPTIONS="-log-file='purify.%v.%p.out' -chain-length=20"

which causes each shell to get its own log file. That should make things
easier.

OK, I have to get it built first without the shell coredumping, which it
wasn't doing earlier when I built it used --disable-dynamic, but then the zpty
tests failed during ``gmake check''. I guess I may have to go back to using

"make check", but it runs several sub-shells, some of them on zpty terminals,
so it may be hard to consolidate the purify output sensibly.

If you distill it down a bit first, you can send it to zsh-workers.

OK, thanks, I figured as much.

What is a goodway to stress-test the shell (``make test''?) and where do I

When you don't have yodl installed (and you don't have copies of the .1
man pages copied over from somewhere else), this is how make exits.  You
can simply ignore this, as it comes at the end of the make (so nothing
is being missed except the ability to install man pages).

Right.

I just installed the previous version of autoconf, 2.13, and lo and behold:
both the m4 undefine and the config.status problem aren't there. So this looks
like some weird interaction between autoconf-2.50 and m4, no?

Off to building zsh with Purify... Has anybody done this before? Is it really
useful? Any tips?

Thanks,

Yes, autoconf 2.50 undefines `define' and `undefine'.

If you just delete the "undefine" lines it complains about, it
will be happy.  However, if you run autoupdate, it will make
a mess.

It's strange indeed. This is with a freshly built m4-1.4 (haven't seen
anything newer).

So does mine.

That fixes it (obviously).

Btw, running ``./configure'' yields

    configure: creating ./config.status
    ./config.status: syntax error at line 1063: `end of file' unexpected

before printing the configuration. That doesn't look normal. The file has
1062 lines and the end looks like

#
# CONFIG_COMMANDS section.
#
for ac_file in : $CONFIG_COMMANDS; do test "x$ac_file" = x: && continue
  ac_dest=`echo "$ac_file" | sed 's,:.*,,'`
  ac_source=`echo "$ac_file" | sed 's,[^:]*:,,'`

  case $ac_dest in
    default ) \
test -z "$CONFIG_HEADERS" || echo > stamp-h ;;
  esac
done

{ (exit 0); exit 0; }

As a result, some other files aren't being generated (e.g. the Makefile).

I don't think so ...

That's pretty silly.  This is like C++ generating an error if you #undef
a constant that has never been #define'd.  Did autoconf-2.50 redefine the
m4 undefine function, or did something change in a new version of m4?

My m4 info page says:

   It is not an error for NAME to have no macro definition.  In that
case, `undefine' does nothing.

Anyway, those undefines are probably entirely extraneous anyway, so try
just deleting them.

zsh and autoconf-2.50

[Jos Backus]

This is with a just checked out copy. Am I doing something wrong?

taiko:/depot/src/zsh% ./Util/preconfig
cd . && ./.preconfig
configure.in:55: error: undefine: undefined: zsh-debug
configure.in:55: the top level
./Util/preconfig: ./.preconfig failed (status 1)

(I want to build this on Solaris using Purify.)
