to fix this (after bumping
Autoconf's copyright year). I'm CC:ing this to autoconf-patches.

That would be true only if Dale's changes, taken as a whole, are
trivial; our rule of thumb for that is about 10 lines of reasonably
obvious changes.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this. A couple of thoughts.
First, how does this compare to the warnings and manywarnings modules of
Gnulib? They seem to do something similar. See:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/warnings.html
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_C_VARARRAYS): Define __STDC_NO_VLA__ if
VLAs are not supported, as this is what C11 does. The old macro
HAVE_C_VARARRAYS is still defined if they are supported, but is
now obsolescent. Also, check for VLA bug in GCC 3.4.3.
* doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler), NEWS: Document
* doc/autoconf.texi (Shell Substitutions): Say that $(...) isn't
working in Solaris 10 and earlier, not in recent releases.

* doc/autoconf.texi: Specify @documentencoding UTF-8. Don't abuse
'`' to mean open quote, unless Texinfo already interprets it that
way. Be more careful about hyphen versus minus versus endash
versus emdash.

I don't know, those warnings look pretty pedantic.
In projects I help maintain, we've found the gnulib
manywarnings module to be more useful.

One remaining wart is that autoupdate
replaces AC_HEADER_STDC with an overt invocation of
_AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT_REQUIREMENTS. I couldn't find an AU_DEFUN
construct that didn't expose this internal macro but would still DTRT
both before and after an autoupdate run. Ideas?
* doc/autoconf.texi (Function Portability): Use plain 'static',
not 'static inline', in example. These days, 'static' is enough;
optimizing compilers can figure out the 'inline' on their own.

Thanks, looks good. This sort of thing should be routine.

Thanks, looks good. I'd just apply it. The autoconf tests
right now have a lot of problems on non-GNU/Linux hosts.

I forgot one of the fixes Mr. Nakada reported for the 2013-03-08 fix.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_EGREP_CPP):
Use rm -rf, not just rm -f, when removing conftest*.

Thanks, I installed that into Autoconf with a slightly terser NEWS entry:
- AC_PROG_YACC now uses 'bison -o y.tab.c' instead of 'bison -y', so that
by default it no longer warns about Bison extensions. Add -Wyacc to
YFLAGS to enable these warnings.
Thanks, I pushed the following slightly-different patch
(I found a couple more instances of the problem):
