There is a bug in this feature: It allows extra arguments to leak in
from the environment. For example:
$ export extraFlagsArray=date
$ man ls
Note that you get the man page for date rather than for ls. This happens
because 'man' happens to use a wrapper (to add groff to its PATH).
An attempt to fix this was made in 5ae18574fc in PR #19328 for
issue #2537, but 1. That change didn't actually fix the problem because
it addressed makeWrapper's environment during the build process, not the
constructed wrapper script's environment after installation, and 2. That
change was apparently accidentally lost when merged with 7ff6eec5fd.
Rather than trying to fix the bug again, we remove the extraFlagsArray
feature, since it has never been used in the public repo in the ten
years it has been available.
wrapAclocal continues to use its own, separate flavor of extraFlagsArray
in a more limited context. The analogous bug there was fixed in
4d7d10da6b in 2011.
After #31497 starter quoting all values, there arouse the need to left some
values evaluated.
`--set-default var value` expands to `export var=${var-value}`, where value is
not evaluated and literally assigned to var unless it is already set.
`--set-eval var value` expands to `export var=$(eval echo value)`, where value
is evaluated by `eval`.
`makeWrapper` and `wrapProgram` are being invoked on all kinds of
wacky things (usually with the help of bash globs or other machine
assistance).
So far, I have come across `wrapProgram` being invoked on a directory,
as well as on the empty string.
As far as I can tell, it's only valid to invoke these utilities on a
normal (non-directory, non-device) executable file. This commit
enforces that precondition.
Previously, makeWrapper would accept arguments it didn't recognize,
potentially allowing argument misspellings or broken callers.
Now, makeWrapper dies with a backtrace if it is called incorrectly.
Also changes `wrapProgram` so that it doesn't pass through the first
argument twice --- this was tripping up the argument checking.
extraFlagsArray should not be exposed outside of `makeWrapper`, it
should only be possible to set it inside a script supplied via the
`--run` argument.
The tests need to expand passed variable and very carefully.
I could see no other easy way than to change single-quoting in
makeWrapper to double-quoting.
The tests now fail with the same problem as on master...
By default `makeWrapper` will not set argv[0] (this is a reversion to
the old default behavior). Based on the breakage we have seen from
changing the default, this is what most people want. The `wrapProgram`
function will send `--argv0 '"$0"'` to `makeWrapper`, i.e. it will
continue to pass-through the argv[0] that the wrapper is called with.
