argv minus one<p>It's been a while since I ran a build with <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/autoconf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autoconf</span></a> / <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/autotools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autotools</span></a>. I had forgotten just how many different little things it checks for.</p><p>One of the main things it's checking for is whether certain headers and functions exist. That reminds me: <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rust</span></a> `cfg` directives really ought to allow a predicate of “such-and-such function/type/whatever exists”. Then you can, for example, call a libc function that exists only on platforms that have it, with fallback on platforms that don't.</p>
Kornel<p>Seriously, in retrospect, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/autotools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autotools</span></a> itself is a massive supply-chain security risk.</p><p>It has normalized shipping and running tens of thousands of lines of arbitrary executable code without any safeguards.</p><p>Code that is so mind-numbingly awful that nobody will review it, and written in a language that is full of gotchas that are sneaky eval gadgets.</p>
