GNU m4 --error-output is the same as -o despite the name. It does NOT
affect warnings, error messages, and 'errprint' output so drop the
misguided bit of code that tried to freopen stderr without closing it
on failure. Drop -e (which was our local invention) and make merge
--error-output with -o so that both set traceout. Make trace_file()
preserve the old traceout on error and return error status so that the
caller can emit appropriate warning.
Do not yet support disabling tracing with an empty name, the rest of
the code is not ready, we don't do -o positionally and we don't have
`debugfile'.
Try to avoid the trap we set up ourselves while avoiding freopen(3).
When exit flushes and closes open streams it may close sfp first and
when it comes about to flush and close stderr, the descriptor is
already gone and we lose any buffered error output. This actually
happens on some hosts, breaking --trace output used by autoconf.
- include the pattern in the error printing of regex
- handle 3 argument and empty patterns the gnu way
- add support for freezing and thawing state (not working yet)
- handle macros > $9
- handle character remapping the the gnu way.
Add a shortcut for the "fake freeze" files to not expand include macros
during thawing.
Update the <bsd.doc.mk> infrastructure, and update the docs to match
the new infrastructure.
- Build and install text, ps, pdf, and/or html, not roff sources.
- Don't wire the chapter numbers into the build system, or use them in
the installed pathnames. This didn't matter much when the docs were a
museum, but now that we're theoretically going to start maintaining
them again, we're going to add and remove documents periodically and
having the chapter numbers baked in creates a lot of thrashing for no
purpose.
- Specify the document name explicitly, rather than implicitly in a
path. Use this name (instead of other random strings) as the name
of the installed files.
- Specify the document section, which is the subdirectory of
/usr/share/doc to install into.
- Allow multiple subdocuments. (That is, multiple documents in one
output directory.)
- Enumerate the .png files groff emits along with html so they can be
installed.
- Remove assorted hand-rolled rules for running roff and roff widgetry
and add enough variable settings to make these unnecessary. This
includes support for
- explicit use of soelim
- refer
- tbl
- pic
- eqn
- Forcibly apply at least minimal amounts of sanity to certain
autogenerated roff files.
- Don't exclude USD.doc, SMM.doc, and PSD.doc directories from the
build, as they now actually do stuff.
Note: currently we can't generate pdf. This turns out to be a
nontrivial problem with no immediate solution forthcoming. So for now,
as a workaround, install compressed .ps as the printable form.
