=head1 NAME

Autom4te::ChannelDefs - channel definitions for Automake and helper functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Autom4te::ChannelDefs;

  print Autom4te::ChannelDefs::usage (), "\n";
  prog_error ($MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS]);
  error ($WHERE, $MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS]);
  error ($MESSAGE);
  fatal ($WHERE, $MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS]);
  fatal ($MESSAGE);
  verb ($MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS]);
  switch_warning ($CATEGORY);
  parse_WARNINGS ();
  parse_warnings ($OPTION, @ARGUMENT);
  Autom4te::ChannelDefs::set_strictness ($STRICTNESS_NAME);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This package defines channels that can be used in Automake to
output diagnostics and other messages (via C<msg()>).  It also defines
some helper function to enable or disable these channels, and some
shorthand function to output on specific channels.

=head2 CHANNELS

The following channels can be used as the first argument of
C<Autom4te::Channels::msg>.  For some of them we list a shorthand
function that makes the code more readable.

=over 4

=item C<fatal>

Fatal errors.  Use C<&fatal> to send messages over this channel.

=item C<error>

Common errors.  Use C<&error> to send messages over this channel.

=item C<error-gnu>

Errors related to GNU Standards.

=item C<error-gnu/warn>

Errors related to GNU Standards that should be warnings in 'foreign' mode.

=item C<error-gnits>

Errors related to GNITS Standards (silent by default).

=item C<automake>

Internal errors.  Use C<&prog_error> to send messages over this channel.

=item C<cross>

Constructs compromising the cross-compilation of the package.

=item C<gnu>

Warnings related to GNU Coding Standards.

=item C<obsolete>

Warnings about obsolete features.

=item C<override>

Warnings about user redefinitions of Automake rules or
variables (silent by default).

=item C<portability>

Warnings about non-portable constructs.

=item C<portability-recursive>

Warnings about recursive variable expansions (C<$(foo$(x))>).
These are not universally supported, but are more portable than
the other non-portable constructs diagnosed by C<-Wportability>.
These warnings are turned on by C<-Wportability> but can then be
turned off separately by C<-Wno-portability-recursive>.

=item C<extra-portability>

Extra warnings about non-portable constructs covering obscure tools.

=item C<syntax>

Warnings about weird syntax, unused variables, typos...

=item C<unsupported>

Warnings about unsupported (or mis-supported) features.

=item C<verb>

Messages output in C<--verbose> mode.  Use C<&verb> to send such messages.

=item C<note>

Informative messages.

Return the warning category descriptions.

  obsolete               obsolete features or constructions (default)
  override               user redefinitions of Automake rules or variables
  portability            portability issues (default in gnu and gnits modes)

  extra-portability      extra portability issues related to obscure tools
  syntax                 dubious syntactic constructs (default)
  unsupported            unsupported or incomplete features (default)

-W also understands:
  all                    turn on all the warnings
  none                   turn off all the warnings
  no-CATEGORY            turn off warnings in CATEGORY

=item C<prog_error ($MESSAGE, [%OPTIONS])>

Signal a programming error (on channel C<automake>),
display C<$MESSAGE>, and exit 1.

Parse the WARNINGS environment variable.

# Used to communicate from parse_WARNINGS to parse_warnings.
our $_werror = 0;

sub parse_WARNINGS ()
{
  if (exists $ENV{'WARNINGS'})
    {
      # Ignore unknown categories.  This is required because WARNINGS
      # should be honored by many tools.
      # For the same reason, do not turn on -Werror at this point, just

=item C<parse_warnings (@CATEGORIES)>

Parse the argument of C<--warning=CATEGORY> or C<-WCATEGORY>.
C<@CATEGORIES> is the accumulated set of warnings categories.
Use like this:

    Autom4te::GetOpt::parse_options (
        # ...
        'W|warnings=s' => \@warnings,
    )
    # possibly call set_strictness here

  switch_warning ($_werror ? 'error' : 'no-error');
}

=item C<merge_WARNINGS (@CATEGORIES)>

Merge the warnings categories in the environment variable C<WARNINGS>
with the warnings categories in C<@CATEGORIES>, and return a new
value for C<WARNINGS>.  Values in C<@CATEGORIES> take precedence.
Use like this:

    local $ENV{WARNINGS} = merge_WARNINGS @additional_warnings;

=cut

sub merge_WARNINGS (@)
{
  my $werror = '';
  my $all_or_none = '';
  my %warnings;

          # comma.  We are generous with this because category values may come
          # from WARNINGS and we don't want to assume other programs'
          # syntax for warnings categories.
          /^(no-|)([\w\[\]\/\\!"#$%&'()*+-.:;<=>?@^`{|}~]+)$/
            or die "Invalid warnings category: $_";

    {
      push @final_warnings, $werror;
    }

Configure channels for strictness C<$STRICTNESS_NAME>.
