fix incorrect 'Link' sections

2019-01-04 Thread Bruno Haible
Another incorrect 'Link' section is the one in the 'regex' module: - It needs to inherit the link directive from the 'lock' module. This is needed on AIX 7 (and probably on HP-UX 11.11, see the earlier report [1][2]). - It also needs a reference to libintl. (Reported in [3].) Paul's patch in

fix some 'Link' sections

2019-01-04 Thread Bruno Haible
A few modules compute the link dependencies through an Autoconf macro, but need also to consider other dependencies. This patch fixes them. 2019-01-04 Bruno Haible Fix some 'Link' sections. * modules/c-stack (Link): Add link directive from the 'gettext-h' dependency.

Remove incorrect 'Link' sections

2019-01-04 Thread Bruno Haible
Now that we have the right tool for determining the recursive link dependencies of modules, it becomes apparent that some of the 'Link' fields are incorrect: - acl, faccessat, fdutimensat, propername, unicodeio, utimecmp, utimensat, xstriconv, xstriconveh lack '$(LTLIBINTL) when linking with

gnulib-tool: new option --extract-recursive-link-directive

2019-01-04 Thread Bruno Haible
With the clarified meaning of the 'Link' filed in the module description, it is now clear that the user of a module should generally *not* look at the 'Link' field in this module description, because in 90% of the cases this field is missing although the module has link dependencies. So, we need

Clarify meaning of 'Link' section in module description

2019-01-04 Thread Bruno Haible
Currently, the meaning of the 'Link' section in the module description is not clear: If absent, does it mean that the user of the module needs no libraries on the link command line? Or does it mean that the user needs to collect the 'Link' section of all dependencies? We need to consider two

2019-01-04 Thread Bruno Haible
A module shouldn't rely on internals of another module. bitsetv.c invokes xalloc_die(), therefore it should #include "xalloc.h", regardless whether bitset.h already - indirectly through bitset/base.h - includes xalloc.h. 2019-01-04 Bruno Haible bitsetv: Fix module dependencies.
