Autom4te::General - general support functions for Autoconf
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Autom4te::General

This perl module provides various general purpose support functions
used in several executables of the Autoconf package.

=head2 Global Variables
=over 4
=item C<$debug>
Set this variable to 1 if debug messages should be enabled. Debug
messages are meant for developers only, or when tracking down an
incorrect execution.
=cut
our $debug = 0;
=item C<$force>
Set this variable to 1 to recreate all the files, or to consider all
the output files are obsolete.
=cut
our $force = undef;
=item C<$help>
Set to the help message associated with the option C<--help>.
=cut
our $help = undef;
=item C<$me>
The name of this application, for diagnostic messages.
=cut
our $me = basename ($0);
=item C<$tmp>
The name of the temporary directory created by C. Left
C otherwise.
=cut
# Our tmp dir.
our $tmp = undef;
=item C<$verbose>
Enable verbosity messages. These messages are meant for ordinary
users, and typically make explicit the steps being performed.
=cut
our $verbose = 0;
=item C<$version>
Set to the version message associated to the option C<--version>.
=cut
our $version = undef;

Filter Perl's exit codes and exit nonzero whenever closing C fails.

{
# $? contains the exit status we will return.
# It was set using one of the following ways:
#
# 1) normal termination
# this sets $? = 0
# 2) calling `exit (n)'
# this sets $? = n
# 3) calling die or friends (croak, confess...):
# a) when $! is non-0
# this set $? = $!
# b) when $! is 0 but $? is not
# this sets $? = ($? >> 8) (i.e., the exit code of the
# last program executed)
# c) when both $! and $? are 0
# this sets $? = 255
#
# Cases 1), 2), and 3b) are fine, but we prefer $? = 1 for 3a) and 3c).
my $status = $?;
$status = 1 if ($! && $! == $?) || $? == 255;
# (Note that we cannot safely distinguish calls to `exit (n)'
# from calls to die when `$! = n'. It's not big deal because
# we only call `exit (0)' or `exit (1)'.)
# This is required if the code might send any output to stdout
# E.g., even --version or --help. So it's best to do it unconditionally.
