+ maint.mk: sc_prohibit_canonicalize_without_use: avoid false positive
+ * top/maint.mk (sc_prohibit_canonicalize_without_use): Also
+ detect uses of canonicalize_file_name.
+
+2012-01-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+
+ test-framework-sh: Fix test failure with AIX 7.1 diff.
+ * tests/init.sh (compare_): Don't use 'diff -u' if it inserts a space
+ in column 1, like 'diff -c' does.
+ * tests/test-init.sh (test_compare): Don't repeat the test from init.sh
+ whether 'diff -u' is used. Instead, test whether the output contains
+ some '@' character.

+
+ strtoimax: eliminate need for stdint.h, inttypes.h checks
+ * m4/strtoimax.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRTOIMAX): Don't use
+ gl_AC_HEADER_STDINT_H or gl_AC_HEADER_INTTYPES_H. This reduces
+ the prerequisites for a recently-introduced strtoimax test.
+ I guess this might cause strtoimax to be replaced when not
+ strictly necessary on older hosts, but this shouldn't introduce
+ any bugs and it should make Emacs 'configure' faster on typical
+ modern hosts. Problem discovered when importing the latest gnulib
+ to an Emacs test version.
+ * modules/strtoimax (Files): Remove m4/stdint_h.m4, m4/inttypes_h.m4.

+
+ sys_time: Override 'struct timeval' on some native Windows platforms.
+ * m4/sys_time_h.m4 (gl_HEADER_SYS_TIME_H_BODY): Test whether tv_sec
+ has the right type. Set REPLACE_STRUCT_TIMEVAL if not.
+ (gl_HEADER_SYS_TIME_H_DEFAULTS): Initialize REPLACE_STRUCT_TIMEVAL.
+ * lib/sys_time.in.h: Include <winsock2.h> also when 'struct timeval'
+ needs to be overridden.
+ (timeval): Override if REPLACE_STRUCT_TIMEVAL is set.
+ * modules/sys_time (Makefile.am): Substitute REPLACE_STRUCT_TIMEVAL.
+ * tests/test-sys_select.c: Check that the tv_sec member has the same
+ size as a 'time_t'.
+ * tests/test-sys_time.c: Likewise.
+ * m4/gettimeofday.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY): If REPLACE_STRUCT_TIMEVAL
+ is set, set also REPLACE_GETTIMEOFDAY.
+ * lib/gettimeofday.c (gettimeofday): If 'struct timeval' is overridden,
+ convert the resulting 'struct timeval' before returning.
+ * lib/select.c: Include <sys/time.h>.
+ (select, timeval): Undefine at the right place.
+ * modules/select (Depends-on): Add sys_time.
+ * doc/posix-headers/sys_time.texi: Mention the problem with tv_sec on
+ some Windows platforms.

+
+ doc: clarify README-release
+ * top/README-release: Clarify: you should make a point to have
+ the latest stable versions of build tools in your PATH, and the
+ reference to buildreq is solely for its list of tool names, not
+ for its minimal-functional version numbers.
+ Prompted by discussion with Reuben Thomas and Gary V. Vaughan.
+
+ maint.mk: use more readable (yet functionally equivalent) quoting
+ It is common to quote a single quote in a single quoted string like
+ this: '...'\''...'. Unless you know the idiom, that looks like
+ gibberish, so prefer to double-quote the string when possible.
+ Then you can use a more readable, lone single quote: "...'..."
+ * top/maint.mk (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Quoting like this
+ "don't" is more readable than the equivalent 'don'\''t'.
+ (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Likewise.
+ (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
+ (sc_makefile_path_separator_check): Similar: use ":" in '...',
+ rather than '\'':'\''.

+
+ stdalign: relax _Alignof and tighten _Alignas test
+ * m4/stdalign.m4 (gl_STDALIGN_H): Relax the _Alignof test,
+ as it was too strict: alignof must divide offsetof, but it need
+ not equal offsetof. Inspired by Joseph S. Myers's comment
+ <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52023#c10>.
+ Conversely, tighten the _Alignas test a bit, as the resulting
+ alignment must be exactly 8.

+ stdalign: check that alignof and offsetof are consistent
+ * m4/stdalign.m4 (gl_STDALIGN_H): Check for GCC bug 52023.

+
+ update-copyright: accept new option: UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2
+ * build-aux/update-copyright: When UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2,
+ convert a sequence with gaps to the minimal containing range.
+ For example, convert 2000, 2004-2007, 2009 to 2000-2009.
+ * tests/test-update-copyright.sh: Test for this.
+ The FSF confirmed it is ok to do this, assuming there is at
+ least one significant change per year in the affected range:
