=head1 NAME

Config::AutoConf - A module to implement some of AutoConf macros in pure perl.

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.305';

=head1 ABSTRACT

With this module I pretend to simulate some of the tasks AutoConf
macros do. To detect a command, to detect a library, etc.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Config::AutoConf;

    Config::AutoConf->check_prog("agrep");
    my $grep = Config::AutoConf->check_progs("agrep", "egrep", "grep");

    Config::AutoConf->check_header("ncurses.h");
    my $curses = Config::AutoConf->check_headers("ncurses.h","curses.h");

    Config::AutoConf->check_prog_awk;
    Config::AutoConf->check_prog_egrep;

    Config::AutoConf->check_cc();

    Config::AutoConf->check_lib("ncurses", "tgoto");

    Config::AutoConf->check_file("/etc/passwd"); # -f && -r

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=cut

my $glob_instance;

=head2 new

This function instantiates a new instance of Config::AutoConf, eg. to
configure child components. The contructor adds also values set via
environment variable C<PERL5_AUTOCONF_OPTS>.

=cut

sub new {
  my $class = shift;
  ref $class and $class = ref $class;
  my %args = @_;

  my %flags = map {
    my ($k, $v) = split("=", $_, 2); defined $v or $v = 1; ($k, $v)
  } split( ":", $ENV{PERL5_AUTOCONF_OPTS} ) if($ENV{PERL5_AUTOCONF_OPTS});

  my %instance = (
    msg_prefix => 'configure: ',
    lang => "C",
    lang_stack => [],
    lang_supported => {
      "C" => "ExtUtils::CBuilder",
    },
    cache => {},
    defines => {},
    extra_libs => [],
    extra_lib_dirs => [],
    extra_include_dirs => [],
    extra_preprocess_flags => [],
    extra_compile_flags => {
      "C" => [],
    },
    extra_link_flags => [],
    logfile => "config.log",
    c_ac_flags => {%flags},
    %args
  );
  bless( \%instance, $class );
}

=head2 check_file

This function checks if a file exists in the system and is readable by
the user. Returns a boolean. You can use '-f $file && -r $file' so you
don't need to use a function call.

=cut

sub check_file {
  my ($self, $file) = @_;
  -f $file && -r $file;
}


=head2 check_files

This function checks if a set of files exist in the system and are
readable by the user. Returns a boolean.

=cut

sub check_files {
  my $self = shift;

  for (@_) {
    return 0 unless $self->check_file($_)
  }

  1;
}

sub _sanitize_prog {
  my ($self, $prog) = @_;
  (scalar Text::ParseWords::shellwords $prog) > 1 and $prog = QUOTE . $prog . QUOTE;
  $prog;
}

my @exe_exts = ( $^O eq "MSWin32" ? qw(.exe .com .bat .cmd) : ("") );

=head2 check_prog(prog,[dirlist])

This function checks for a program with the supplied name. In success
returns the full path for the executable;

An optional array reference containing a list of directories to be searched
instead of $PATH is gracefully honored.

=cut

sub check_prog {
  my $self = shift;
  # sanitize ac_prog
  my $ac_prog = _sanitize(shift @_);
  my @dirlist;
  @_ and scalar @_ > 1 and @dirlist = @_;
  @_ and scalar @_ == 1 and ref $_[0] eq "ARRAY" and @dirlist = @{$_[0]};
  @dirlist or @dirlist = split(/$Config{path_sep}/,$ENV{PATH});

  for my $p (@dirlist) {
    for my $e (@exe_exts) {
      my $cmd = $self->_sanitize_prog(File::Spec->catfile($p,$ac_prog.$e));
      return $cmd if -x $cmd;
    }
  }
  return;
}

=head2 check_progs(progs, [dirlist])

This function takes a list of program names. Returns the full path for
the first found on the system. Returns undef if none was found.

An optional array reference containing a list of directories to be searched
instead of $PATH is gracefully honored.

=cut

sub check_progs {
  my $self = shift;
  my @dirlist;
  scalar @_ > 1 and ref $_[-1] eq "ARRAY" and @dirlist = @{pop @_};
  @dirlist or @dirlist = split(/$Config{path_sep}/,$ENV{PATH});

  my @progs = @_;
  for (@progs) {
    defined $_ or next;
    my $ans = $self->check_prog($_, \@dirlist);
    return $ans if $ans;
  }
  return;
}

sub _append_prog_args {
  my ($self, $prog) = @_;
  join(" ", $self->_sanitize_prog($prog), @_);
}

=head2 check_prog_yacc

From the autoconf documentation,

  If `bison' is found, set [...] `bison -y'.
  Otherwise, if `byacc' is found, set [...] `byacc'. 
  Otherwise set [...] `yacc'.  The result of this test can be influenced
  by setting the variable YACC or the cache variable ac_cv_prog_YACC.

Returns the full path, if found.

=cut

sub check_prog_yacc {
  my $self = shift;

# my ($self, $cache_name, $message, $check_sub) = @_;

  my $cache_name = $self->_cache_name("prog", "YACC");
  $self->check_cached( $cache_name, "for yacc",

        and $binary = $self->_append_prog_args($binary, "-y");
      return $binary;
    } );
}

=head2 check_prog_awk

From the autoconf documentation,

  Check for `gawk', `mawk', `nawk', and `awk', in that order, and
  set output [...] to the first one that is found.  It tries
  `gawk' first because that is reported to be the best implementation.
  The result can be overridden by setting the variable AWK or the
  cache variable ac_cv_prog_AWK.

Note that it returns the full path, if found.

=cut

sub check_prog_awk {
  my $self = shift;
  my $cache_name = $self->_cache_name("prog", "AWK");
  $self->check_cached( $cache_name, "for awk",
    sub {$ENV{AWK} || $self->check_progs(qw/gawk mawk nawk awk/)} );
}


=head2 check_prog_egrep

From the autoconf documentation,

  Check for `grep -E' and `egrep', in that order, and [...] output
  [...] the first one that is found.  The result can be overridden by
  setting the EGREP variable and is cached in the ac_cv_path_EGREP
  variable. 

Note that it returns the full path, if found.

=cut

sub check_prog_egrep {
  my $self = shift;

  my $cache_name = $self->_cache_name("prog", "EGREP");
  $self->check_cached( $cache_name, "for egrep",

      my $grep;
      $grep = $self->check_progs("egrep") and return $grep;

      if ($grep = $self->check_prog("grep")) {
        # check_run - Capture::Tiny, Open3 ... ftw!
        my $ans = `echo a | ($grep -E '(a|b)') 2>/dev/null`;
        chomp $ans;
        $ans eq "a" and return $self->_append_prog_args($grep,  "-E");
      }
    } );
}

=head2 check_prog_lex

From the autoconf documentation,

  If flex is found, set output [...] to ‘flex’ and [...] to -lfl, if that
  library is in a standard place. Otherwise set output [...] to ‘lex’ and
  [...] to -ll, if found. If [...] packages [...] ship the generated
  file.yy.c alongside the source file.l, this [...] allows users without a
  lexer generator to still build the package even if the timestamp for
  file.l is inadvertently changed.

Note that it returns the full path, if found.

The structure $self->{lex} is set with attributes

  prog => $LEX
  lib => $LEXLIB
  root => $lex_root

=cut

=head2 check_prog_sed

From the autoconf documentation,

  Set output variable [...] to a Sed implementation that conforms to Posix
  and does not have arbitrary length limits. Report an error if no
  acceptable Sed is found. See Limitations of Usual Tools, for more
  information about portability problems with Sed.

  The result of this test can be overridden by setting the SED variable and

=head2 check_decl( symbol, [action-if-found], [action-if-not-found], [prologue = default includes] )

If symbol (a function, variable or constant) is not declared in includes and
a declaration is needed, run the code ref given in I<action-if-not-found>,
otherwise I<action-if-found>. includes is a series of include directives,
defaulting to I<default includes>, which are used prior to the declaration
under test.

This method actually tests whether symbol is defined as a macro or can be
used as an r-value, not whether it is really declared, because it is much
safer to avoid introducing extra declarations when they are not needed.
In order to facilitate use of C++ and overloaded function declarations, it
is possible to specify function argument types in parentheses for types
which can be zero-initialized:

          Config::AutoConf->check_decl("basename(char *)")

This method caches its result in the C<ac_cv_decl_E<lt>set langE<gt>>_symbol variable.

is additional code to execute when one of the symbol declarations is

Check whether type is defined. It may be a compiler builtin type or defined
by the includes. I<prologue> should be a series of include directives,
defaulting to I<default includes>, which are used prior to the type under
test.

In C, type must be a type-name, so that the expression C<sizeof (type)> is
valid (but C<sizeof ((type))> is not)

If I<type> type is defined, preprocessor macro HAVE_I<type> (in all
capitals, with "*" replaced by "P" and spaces and dots replaced by
underscores) is defined.

This function is used to check if a specific header file is present in
the system: if we detect it and if we can compile anything with that
header included. Note that normally you want to check for a header
first, and then check for the corresponding library (not all at once).

The standard usage for this module is:

  Config::AutoConf->check_header("ncurses.h");
  
This function will return a true value (1) on success, and a false value
if the header is not present or not available for common usage.

=head2 check_dirent_header

Check for the following header files. For the first one that is found and
defines 'DIR', define the listed C preprocessor macro:

  dirent.h 	HAVE_DIRENT_H
  sys/ndir.h 	HAVE_SYS_NDIR_H
  sys/dir.h 	HAVE_SYS_DIR_H
  ndir.h 	HAVE_NDIR_H

The directory-library declarations in your source code should look
something like the following:

  #include <sys/types.h>
  #ifdef HAVE_DIRENT_H
  # include <dirent.h>
  # define NAMLEN(dirent) strlen ((dirent)->d_name)
  #else
  # define dirent direct
  # define NAMLEN(dirent) ((dirent)->d_namlen)
  # ifdef HAVE_SYS_NDIR_H
  #  include <sys/ndir.h>
  # endif
  # ifdef HAVE_SYS_DIR_H
  #  include <sys/dir.h>
  # endif
  # ifdef HAVE_NDIR_H
  #  include <ndir.h>
  # endif
  #endif

Using the above declarations, the program would declare variables to be of
type C<struct dirent>, not C<struct direct>, and would access the length
of a directory entry name by passing a pointer to a C<struct dirent> to
the C<NAMLEN> macro.

This macro might be obsolescent, as all current systems with directory
libraries have C<<E<lt>dirent.hE<gt>>>. Programs supporting only newer OS
might not need touse this macro.

=head2 check_lib( lib, func, [ action-if-found ], [ action-if-not-found ], [ @other-libs ] )

This function is used to check if a specific library includes some
function. Call it with the library name (without the lib portion), and
the name of the function you want to test:

  Config::AutoConf->check_lib("z", "gzopen");

It returns 1 if the function exist, 0 otherwise.

I<action-if-found> and I<action-if-not-found> can be CODE references
whereby the default action in case of function found is to define
the HAVE_LIBlibrary (all in capitals) preprocessor macro with 1 and
add $lib to the list of libraries to link.

If linking with library results in unresolved symbols that would be
resolved by linking with additional libraries, give those libraries
as the I<other-libs> argument: e.g., C<[qw(Xt X11)]>.
Otherwise, this routine may fail to detect that library is present,
because linking the test program can fail with unresolved symbols.
The other-libraries argument should be limited to cases where it is
desirable to test for one library in the presence of another that
is not already in LIBS. 

It's recommended to use L<search_libs> instead of check_lib these days.

=head2 search_libs( function, search-libs, [action-if-found], [action-if-not-found], [other-libs] )

Search for a library defining function if it's not already available.
This equates to calling

    Config::AutoConf->link_if_else(
        Config::AutoConf->lang_call( "", "$function" ) );

first with no libraries, then for each library listed in search-libs.
I<search-libs> must be specified as an array reference to avoid
confusion in argument order.

Prepend -llibrary to LIBS for the first library found to contain function,
and run I<action-if-found>. If the function is not found, run
I<action-if-not-found>.

If linking with library results in unresolved symbols that would be
resolved by linking with additional libraries, give those libraries as
the I<other-libraries> argument: e.g., C<[qw(Xt X11)]>. Otherwise, this
method fails to detect that function is present, because linking the
test program always fails with unresolved symbols.

The result of this test is cached in the ac_cv_search_function variable
as "none required" if function is already available, as C<0> if no
library containing function was found, otherwise as the -llibrary option
that needs to be prepended to LIBS.

=head2 _check_pureperl_build_wanted

This method proves the C<_argv> attribute and (when set) the C<PERL_MM_OPT>
whether they contain I<PUREPERL_ONLY=(0|1)> or not. The attribute C<_force_xs>
is set appropriate, which allows a compile test to bail out when C<Makefile.PL>
is called with I<PUREPERL_ONLY=0>.

=head2 check_sane_xs

This routine checks whether XS can be sanely used. Therefore it does
following checks in given order:

=over 4

=item *

check pureperl environment variables or command line arguments and disable
XS when pure perl is wanted in any way

=item *

check whether a compiler is available (C<check_cc>) and disable XS if none found

=item *

check whether a test program accessing Perl API can be compiled and
die with error if not

=item *

when C<ExtensivePerlAPI> is enabled, check wether perl extensions can
be linked or die with error otherwise

=item *

I<TODO> check whether a trivial XS can be loaded and die hard on error

=back

When all checks passed successfully, return a true value.

=head1 NEXT STEPS

Although a lot of work needs to be done, this is the next steps I
intent to take.

  - detect flex/lex
  - detect yacc/bison/byacc
  - detect ranlib (not sure about its importance)

These are the ones I think not too much important, and will be
addressed later, or by request.

  - detect an 'install' command
  - detect a 'ln -s' command -- there should be a module doing
    this kind of task.

=head1 BUGS

A lot. Portability is a pain. B<<Patches welcome!>>.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to
C<bug-extutils-autoconf@rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface at
L<http://rt.cpan.org>.  I will be notified, and then you'll automatically
be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
