            Bug ID: 30196
           Summary: [0.189 regression] configure.ac contains Bashisms
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sourceware at mattwhitlock dot name

  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 14729
  --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=14729&action=edit
elfutils-0.189-fix-configure-bashisms.patch

Autoconf scripts are supposed to be written in POSIX-compatible shell language.
elfutils commits 0ffe2874e75d48cb88936e119e5284ff2bf664d9 and
3fa98a6f29b0f370e32549ead7eb897c839af980 introduced Bashisms to configure.ac
that cause errors when /bin/sh is not Bash.

Example error when /bin/sh is Dash:

./configure: 8748: test: xyes: unexpected operator


The cause of the error is the use of a non-existent == operator in expressions
passed to the 'test' built-in command. POSIX shell specifies only an = operator
for testing string equality.

Please make the corrections indicated in the attached patch.

    configure.ac contains Bashisms

    Autoconf scripts are supposed to be written in POSIX-compatible shell
    language. elfutils commits 0ffe2874e75d48cb88936e119e5284ff2bf664d9
    and 3fa98a6f29b0f370e32549ead7eb897c839af980 introduced Bashisms to
    configure.ac that cause errors when /bin/sh is not Bash.

    Example error when /bin/sh is Dash:

    ./configure: 8748: test: xyes: unexpected operator

    The cause of the error is the use of a non-existent == operator in
    expressions passed to the 'test' built-in command. POSIX shell
    specifies only an = operator for testing string equality.

      * configure.ac: Replace == by = in use_msan and enable_demangler
      comparisons.
