I was hoping to get an Autoconf beta out soon, and this is a good spur for that. My gnulib additions ran into a problem when I actually tried to use them on GNU tar. The problem is that, even with the changes, GNU tar still assumes that 1 << (sizeof (int) * CHAR_BIT - 1) is valid. But this isn't correct in general: you need to know how many value bits (i.e., non-padding bits) are in the int. (A counterexample is the Unisys 2200 series, which as I understand it is still produced and maintained, and which supports POSIX.) The gnulib additions calculate the number of value bits but don't make them available to 'tar'. So I would like to add that. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
