Hello, autoconf maintainers.
In lib/autoconf/functions.m4 of autoconf-2.60, it reads
...
[AC_RUN_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT],
[[struct stat sbuf;
return $1 ("", &sbuf) == 0;]])],
[ac_cv_func_$1_empty_string_bug=no],
[ac_cv_func_$1_empty_string_bug=yes],
[ac_cv_func_$1_empty_string_bug=yes])])
...
In this logic, when stat (and/or lstat) returns 0,
the C main returns 1, which is the value of (0 == 0),
and sinse 1 is false command status, the line
ac_cv_func_$1_empty_string_bug=yes
will be executed, where $1 is stat or lstat.
But, I see, it is a normal case that stat returns 0.
Likewise, when stat returns non-0 value, the line
ac_cv_func_$1_empty_string_bug=no
will be executed, but it seems for me that this IS am empty
string bug.
I hope that the following patch will fix it. Enjoy!
- return $1 ("", &sbuf) == 0;]])],
+ return $1 ("", &sbuf);]])],
