Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Hi (is there anyone maintaining libtool nowadays? Alex, are you there?) -
I just installed the patch below to Automake, passing the OBJC and
OBJCXX tags to libtool for the respective languages. It would be good if
libtool recognized those tags.
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=67539
The reason to pass them before being recognized by libtool is to
avoid an immediate fatal error, as explained in that bug.
The libtool manual says (line 2930):
[...] can't infer
a tag, then it defaults to the configuration for the @code{C} language.
But clearly this is no longer the case, which seems like a good
thing. Thus I suggest replacing that text with something like:
[...] can't infer
a tag, then it exits immediately with a fatal error.
Happy hacking,
Karl

Hey yeah I'm here, but honestly I need to step down.
I have a kid on the way in a few weeks and have been really inattentive to
the libtool work.
Apologies for the radio silence.

Would it be okay if I helped maintain libtool? I am a Debian Maintainer,
and I have some experience with autotools. I have started testing this
patch, and I know there are several other patches to review. I would be
happy to start testing those as well.
I am reading through the GNU documentation and setting up my accounts.
Is there anything else I should do to get started? I look forward to
contributing to free GNU software. :)
Best,

Hi Ileana,
Would it be okay if I helped maintain libtool?
Speaking as a libtool user, I would only be grateful.
Is there anything else I should do to get started?
Please email maintainers <at> gnu.org, so they can send you the forms and add
you to the various files.
I look forward to contributing to free GNU software. :)
Yay! :) --thanks, karl.

I have finally implemented tagging support for OBJC and OBJCXX! [1]
(Sorry for the wait...) I have tested minimally on Debian and Ubuntu
GNU/Linux and macOS 13-15 to verify Objective-C and Objective-C++ source
code would compile. If there are any updates needed for the current
implementation, I would be happy to accept suggestions and patches. :)

Thank you, Ileana. (So glad you've revived libtool.) I have no good way
to test it before a release, but maybe others on Automake will.
Looking at my original report here, I also suggested a tweak to the doc
which I don't see in your patch? Or maybe I'm missing something.

I did forget about that. It looks like this has been incorrect for many
years, but it is fixed now [1]. Thank you!

The tagging for objc and objcxx has been moved to master [1], so closing.
