[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41027] config.h is too generic

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #37, bug #41027 (project octave):

I think the list of macros is now down to this:


ZLIB (3 files):
      1 HAVE_ZLIB_H
      3 HAVE_ZLIB

Template source files (7 files):
      7 HAVE_CONFIG_H

LLVM, so low priority for now (6 files):
      1 HAVE_LLVM_DATALAYOUT_H
      1 HAVE_LLVM_IR_DATALAYOUT_H
      2 LEGACY_PASSMANAGER
     15 HAVE_LLVM

Most likely obsolete and generally irrelevant:
      1 HAVE_SUNMATH_H

System characteristics:
      1 HAVE_DYNAMIC_AUTO_ARRAYS
        (mentioned as possible, but not actually used)


I'll work on the ZLIB macros next.

The template source files are


  Array.cc
  DiagArray2.cc
  intNDArray.cc
  MArray.cc
  MDiagArray2.cc
  oct-sort.cc
  Sparse.cc


I'm not sure whether all of these should be installed.

The JIT compiler doesn't work so I think we can put that off for now.  The
template source files probably don't see much use, and if someone does use
them, they can come up with their own config.h if necessary.

Once I've eliminated the ZLIB macros from the public header files, I intend to
stop installing config.h and oct-conf-post.h and close this report.
