All the scripts were using this implicitly already, so there's no real
change for them, but we want to call it explicitly as the CPP tool is
used to generate nltvals.def.
This file is quite large and is getting unmanageable. Split it apart
to follow aclocal best practices by putting one-macro-per-file. There
shouldn't be any real functional changes here as can be seen in the
configure script regens.
Rather than hand maintain m4 includes in various autotool files,
use AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS to declare the relevant search paths.
This simplifies the code, makes it more robust, and cleans out
unused logic from configure.
These settings might have made sense in darker compiler times, but I
think they're largely obsolete now. Looking through the values that
get used in HDEFINES, it's quite limited, and configure itself should
handle them. If we still need something, we can leverage standard
autoconf macros instead, after we get a clear user report.
TDEFINES was never set anywhere and was always empty, so prune that.
We renamed these years ago, but it looks like the cgen core missed the
TRACE_EXTRACT function, so these new ports still used the incompatible
common name. Fix those ports to use the right func.
We want all ports to opt into extra warnings as the default compiler
settings lets a lot slide. Opt all the ports that haven't already in
to the warning system. None of them build with -Werror, so disable
that by default. Hopefully someone finds these important enough to
start fixing at some point.
Since we require C11 now, we can assume many headers exist, and
clean up all of the conditional includes. It's not like any of
this code actually accounted for the headers not existing, just
whether we could include them.
The strings.h cleanup is a little nuanced: it isn't in C11, but
every use of it in the codebase will include strings.h only if
string.h doesn't exist. Since we now assume the C11 string.h
exists, we'll never include strings.h, so we can delete it.
With GDB requiring a C++11 compiler now, this hopefully shouldn't
be a big deal. It's been 10 years since C11 came out, so should
be plenty of time to upgrade.
This will allow us to start cleaning up random header logic and
many of our non-standard custom types.
We don't want arch-specific entries in the common ChangeLog files.
Most arches do this already, so clean up the recent additions, and
move some older entries down to help avoid confusing newcomers.
