        The FSF are moving offices today.  Changed their contact address
        in all files from `59 Temple Place, Suite 330, MA 02111-1307' to
        `51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, MA 02110-1301'.

        Also, some of the files here were never updated from the previous
        '675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139', so changed those to the
        '51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, MA 02110-1301' address too.

2005-03-31  Mike Frysinger  <vapier@gentoo.org>

        * Makefile.in (bindir, infodir): Substitute from configure rather
        than hardcode.
        * doc/Makefile.in (infodir): Ditto.
        * src/Makefile.in (bindir): Ditto.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2005-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Changes needed to automate the release process for 1.4.3:

        * Makefile.in (dist): Make .tar.bz2 tarball too.
        * Makefile.maint (TSDEPS_DIST): Remove m4/libtool.m4.
        (cvs-news): Look 1 line further down for NEWS release number.
        (cvs-dist): We don't use automake, so make dist is fine.
        Remove double . before suffixes.
        (cvs-release): Don't mention manual.html.
        (fetch): Get latest gendocs files.
        (web-manual): Rewritten to use gendoc for multiformat manuals.
        * doc/gendocs.sh: Don't save an old version in m4 CVS!
        * doc/m4.texinfo (Index): HFS+ (the file system on my Mac) is case
        preserving, but case insensitive, so generating html docs per node
        clashes between Index.html, the node file, and index.html, the
        top-level of the document tree...
        (Index macro): ...so renamed to this.  Changed all references.

2005-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>  (tiny change)

        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 1.4.3a.

        canonical versions.

2005-03-31  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>  (tiny change)

        * doc/m4.texinfo (Patsubst): Re-add trailing space required by
        checks/47.patsubst, with a redundant @comment to prevent emacs
        from removing it accidentally again.
        * checks/get-them: Allow for trailing spaces tucked behind
        @comment marks.

2005-03-31  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>  (tiny change)

        * doc/Makefile.in (install, uninstall): Accomodate DESTDIR.

2005-02-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac (AC_DEFINE): Fix overquoting of description
        argument.

        * src/m4.h (__CYGWIN__, WIN32): Canonicalise Windows and Cygwin
        recognition macros.
        * src/freeze.c (produce_frozen_state): Use \n line-endings even
        on Windows, so that the frozen file reader will work.
        Reported by Josef T. Burger.

        * src/m4.c (main): Modernise the --version output.

2005-02-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Modernise the configury a little to prevent spurious errors from
        Autoconf-2.59's autoreconf:

        * config.h.in: Renamed to...
        * config-h.in: ...this to better support DOS 8.3 file systems.
        * acconfig.h: Removed.
        * configure.in: Renamed to...
        * configure.ac: ...this, and AC_DEFINE used to declare config.h
        entry comments.  Slight reorganisation and reformatting.
        * aclocal.m4: Use third argument to AC_DEFINE to declare config.h
        entry comments.
        (AC_INIT): Use a modern 3 argument call.
        * Makefile.in, checks/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in,
        examples/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in:
        s/PRODUCT/PACKAGE/g.
        * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Removed acconfig.h, configure.in,
        config.h.in.  Added configure.ac, config-h.in.
        (stamp-h.in): Removed acconfig.h from dependencies.
        (configure): Depends on configure.ac, not configure.in.
        * doc/Makefile.in (stamp-vti): Ditto.
        * src/freeze.c (produce_frozen_state), src/m4.c (main): Adjust for
        difference between PRODUCT="m4" and PACKAGE="GNU M4".
        * configure: Regenerated.

2005-02-03  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * src/output.c (mkstemp): Make non-static, and build regardless of
        HAVE_TMPFILE; src/builtin.c also needs this replacement.
        * NEWS: Update.

2004-09-09  Vincent Lonngren  <Vincent.lonngren.759@student.lu.se>

        * configure.in (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Commit works best when you save
        changes from your editor buffer first.

        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-09-09  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        Refactoring of the string read case in next_char provides about a
        20% speedup of M4 as typically used by autoconf:

        * src/input.c (next_char_1): Renamed from next_char.
        (next_char): New macro.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-08-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.in (VERSION): Bump to 1.4.2.
        * News: Describe 1.4.2's changes.

        * src/m4.c (reference_error): Preserve errno, since M4ERROR

        * src/builtin.c (m4_esyscmd): Clear errno before calling popen.
        (m4_maketemp): Clear errno before calling mkstemp.
        * src/path.c (path_search): Don't let "free" trash errno when
        returning NULL.
        * src/output.c (insert_file): Don't assume errno has a valid
        value simply because fread returns zero.  This fixes a
        portability bug reported by Marion Hakanson in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2004-07/msg00029.html>.

2004-06-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS: Describe 1.4.1's changes.

        * aclocal.m4 (fp_PROG_CC_STDC): Use AC_DEFUN, not define, to
        pacify Autoconf 2.59.

        * doc/m4.texinfo: Insert commas after @xref's that lack them,

        * src/output.c (m4_insert_file): Do not mix buffered and
        unbuffered I/O, as this breaks on the Hurd.  (trivial change)

        http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=84451
        * src/m4.c (main): Fix format vulnerabilities.  (trivial change)

        * doc/m4.texinfo (Maketemp): Change maketemp to refer to a new,
        empty file rather than to a nonexistent file.  This closes a common
        security hole.
        * src/builtin.c (m4_maketemp): Implement the above, by using
        mkstemp rather than mktemp.  (trivial change)

2000-01-09  Akim Demaille  <demaille@inf.enst.fr>

        * src/builtin.c (expand_ranges): Added break after trailing dash.
        This caused misbehaviors on some systems.

        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * configure.in: Check for const only after having found possible
        ANSIfying compiler flags, this is of no use to check it before.
        Reported by Alexander Lehmann.

Tue Nov  1 22:02:37 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * src/macro.c (collect_arguments): Cast obstack arguments to
        (voidstar), so avoiding compiler warnings.
        Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.

        * src/freeze.c (produce_frozen_state): Cast printed lengths to
        (int) so they correspond to %d format items.
        Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.

        * src/m4.c (main): Cast the argument to xfree to (voidstar).
        * src/symtab.c (free_symbol): Idem.

Sun Oct 30 08:13:03 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * src/m4.h, src/debug.c: Replace all #ifdef __STDC__ by #if
        __STDC__.  Alliant FX/2800 Concentrix 2.2 (i860-BSD4.3) compiler
        defines __STDC__ to 0, for indicating it is *not* ANSI!
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * configure.in: Added obsolescent tests for AIX and Minix.

        * doc/Makefile.in (mostlyclean): Remove texclean in dependencies,
        which texclean does not exist anymore.
        Reported by Eric Backus, Jim Meyering, John David Anglin and
        Joseph E. Sacco.

        ANSI2KNR, depending on the fact the compiler is ANSI or not.
        * src/Makefile.in: Use -Ovarargs=convert on ansi2knr calls.
        Remove the sed filter after ansi2knr for debug.c.  Use $O instead
        of $U, put underline in extensions rather than in basenames.  Use
        implicit rules, now that regularity makes this possible.
        Have $(OBJECTS) depend on $(ANSI2KNR), so to trigger compilation
        of ansi2knr whenever it is needed.
        * configure.in: Adjusted for correct STACKOVF substitution.
        * src/debug.c (trace_format): When not __STDC__, use (...) as a
        parameter list, so ansi2knr will convert it to (va_alist) va_dcl.
        Reported by David MacKenzie.

        * Makefile.in: Remove binprefix.  Use transform_name instead.
        Reported by David MacKenzie.

        the top-level make may exit successfully when it should fail.
        Reported by Jim Kingdon.

        * {,/*}Makefile.in: Use && after all cd, in case they fail.

        * {,*/}Makefile.in: Declare PRODUCT and VERSION macros.
        (dist): Use PRODUCT and VERSION instead of tricks on .fname.
        * configure.in: Substitute PRODUCT and VERSION.

        * {,*/}Makefile.in (dist): Always try a hard link before a copy.

Thu Oct 27 22:32:58 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        Reported by Jim Meyering.

Fri Sep 23 08:16:58 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * src/stackovf.c: Declare the handler_t typedef earlier in the
        code, use it for stackovf_handler.
        (setup_stackovf_trap): Use RETSIGTYPE instead of void while
        casting sigsegv_handler.
        Reported by Robert Bernstein.

        * src/m4.c (main): Initialize program_name to argv[0] without
        basename'ing it.
        Reported by Karl Berry.

Sun Sep 18 11:42:50 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * src/Makefile.in (TAGS): Include a ../lib/TAGS reference.

        * configure.in: Use `choke me' in test, like everywhere!

        * {doc,examples,lib,src}/Makefile.in (check): Deleted, as
        unreacheable and useless.

        * doc/Makefile.in (texclean): Deleted, merged in mostlyclean.

        * lib/Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Distribute TAGS.
        (distclean): Do not remove TAGS.

        * Makefile.in: Make TAGS in lib also, not just in src.
        Reported by Karl Berry.

        * Makefile.in (distclean, realclean): Instead of recursively
        calling $(MAKE) for the -local part, allow parallel execution of
        -recursive and -local, only delay the removal of config.status,
        which is repeated in both goals.
\f
Tue Sep 13 19:21:05 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * Release 1.3.

        * Makefile.in: Group all *clean-recursive goals in one, using sed
        to remove `-recursive' while calling make recursively.  Also, use
        a subshell for each recursive $(MAKE).
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

        * src/m4.h (memcpy): Define with bcopy for BSD systems.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * src/Makefile.in (ansi2knr): Use $(LIBS) while linking, for SunOS

Thu Sep  8 15:07:27 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * Makefile.in (MDEFINES): Remove INSTALL substitutions, for
        ./install.sh will not be correctly referred to in sub-Makefiles.
        Reported by John David Anglin.

        * doc/Makefile.in (texclean): Remove *.cps and *.fns too.

        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * src/Makefile.in (TAGS): Remote -t from etags call.

Fri Sep  2 10:37:10 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        Reported by Jim Meyering and John David Anglin.

        * Makefile.in (distclean-local): Delete config.log.
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

        Solidify frozen files with respect to -P:
        * src/m4.c: Have -P set prefix_all_buitins variable instead of
        calling a function by that name.  Declare the variable.
        * src/m4.h: Adjust declaration for prefix_all_buitins.
        * src/builtin.c (builtin_init): Merge in functionality from
        previous prefix_all_buitins function, while making entries in the
        symbol table, but not modifying the builtin description itself.

        * src/freeze.c (reload_frozen_state): Add a useless `break;',
        because *many* compilers do not accept an empty `default:'.
        Reported by Akiko Matsushita, Eric Backus, John David Anglin,
        Joseph E. Sacco, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Tom McConnell and Ulrich Drepper.

        * configure.in: Use AC_TYPE_SIGNAL.

        Reported by Akiko Matsushita and Jim Meyering.

        * src/output.c (make_room_for, output_character_helper): New

        * src/output.c (output_text): New function, for optimizing the
        output of strings of characters.  Use it.

        dist works from another build directory.

Sat Aug 27 14:32:45 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * symtab.c (hack_all_symbols): Use hash_table_size instead of

Fri Jul 29 10:15:52 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * configure.in: If sigaction is available and SA_ONSTACK defined,
        use sigaction.  Otherwise, if sigvec is available and SV_ONSTACK
        defined, use sigvec.  Else don't compile stackovf.c.
        * stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Idem.

Fri Jul 15 14:36:21 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * Makefile.in: Modify so parallel make will not try making
        lib/libm4.a twice simultaneously.
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

        * stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Replace "Don't" by "Do not" in
        error message, for when no code possibility exists.  Even if this

        Reported by Andreas Schwab, Jim Meyering and Joseph E. Sacco.

        * Makefile.in (install): Have install depend on all too, for lib
        to be remade as needed.

        * examples/stackovf.sh: Try ksh, bsh and bash for shells
        providing ulimit, instead of using only ksh.
        Reported by Jim Avera and Joseph E. Sacco.

Tue Jul 12 06:54:31 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * Makefile.in (check): Have it depend on all instead of m4.  In
        this way, a change in lib will be detected and processed.

        * builtin.c (numeric_arg): Use strtol and verify the conversion,
        instead of using sscanf which stops as soon as there is a
        non-digit in the input.  Previously, incr(1xyzzy), eval(1,2xyzzy)
        and divert(1xyzzy) were all accepted without any warning or error
        messages.
        * m4.h: Declare strtol as long if not including stdlib.h.
        * configure.in: Check for limits.h, and replace strtol if missing.

        * stackovf.c: Isolated OS-dependent sections; Improved portability,
        adding support for SunOS/BSD (sigvec, sigstack, and 4-parameter signal
        handlers), and a default error message if the fault address is not
        available (when neither siginfo.h nor BSD sigcontext are supported).
        * configure.in: Changes for stackovf.h: Check for sigcontext,
        sigaction, sigstack, and define rlim_t as int if necessary.
        * acconfig.h: Added HAVE_SIGCONTEXT and rlim_t.
        * examples/stackovf.sh: Run m4 -L99999999 to allow stack overflow.

        * configure.in: Remove dependency of USE_STACKOVF on STDC_HEADERS,
        because siginfo.h is unrelated to standard headers, and siginfo.h
        is already checked for.
        Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.

        * acconfig.h, aclocal.m4, m4.h: Replace HAVE_PROTOTYPES by
        PROTOTYPES.
        * aclocal.m4, configure.in: Replace AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES by
        AC_PROTOTYPES.

Wed Jun 29 22:41:53 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * builtin.c (substitute): Use \& to represent this part of the
        string which was matched by the whole regexp, instead of
        representing the whole string.  Any usage of \0 issues a warning
        and acts like \&, it will disappear in some subsequent release.

Mon Jun 27 14:24:23 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * m4.c: Complete prototype for forwarded declaration of usage.

        * input.c (init_macro_token): Correct own reference in error
        message.  Previous name get_macro_func was referred to instead.
        (next_char):  Correct own reference in error message.  Previous
        name advance_input was referred to instead.

        * m4.h: Declare eval_t and unsigned_eval_t typedefs to 32 bits.
        * eval.c (logical_or_term, logical_and_term, or_term, xor_term,
        and_term, not_term, logical_not_term, cmp_term, shift_term,
        add_term, mult_term, exp_term, unary_term, simple_term): Add
        prototype to forwarded declarations.  Declare parameter v1 as
        eval_t * instead of int *.  Same for local variable v2 in dyadic
        functions.  Same for result in exp_term.
        * builtin.c (m4_eval): Declare value as eval_t instead of int.
        (ntoa): Declare value as eval_t instead of int.  Declare uvalue as
        unsigned_eval_t instead of unsigned int.  Change casts accordingly.
        (shipout_int): Cast first argument of ntoa to eval_t.
        Reported by Thorsten Ohl.

        * macro.c: Complete the prototypes of forwarded expand_macro and
        expand_token.
        Reported by Thorsten Ohl.

        * m4.h: Define voidstar as void * or char * depending on __STDC__.
        The Ultrix 3.1 compiler cannot do much with void pointers.

        * builtin.c (dumpdef_cmp): Replace void * by voidstar.
        * m4.c (xfree):  Replace void * by voidstar.
        Reported by Tom McConnell.

        * ansi2knr.1: New, from elsewhere.
        * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Distribute ansi2knr.1

        * Makefile.in (stamp-h.in): Avoid running ./config.status if
        stamp-h does not exist yet.  This avoids running it a second time
        just after the initial ./configure.
        Reported by David MacKenzie and Tom McConnell.

        * m4.h: Replace the enum debug_info declaration with a series of
        #define's.  The Ultrix 3.1 compiler would otherwise need casting
        (int) to most references, when used in expressions.
        Reported by Tom McConnell.

Sat Jun 25 00:10:05 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * aclocal.m4: Replace FP_PROTOTYPES by AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES,
        following an idea from Brook G. Milligan.  AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES
        calls the compiler.  Previously, FP_PROTOTYPES was only calling
        the preprocessor; by not being subject to CFLAGS, this was
        discouraging those flags asking for ANSI compilation.
        * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_PROTOTYPES.
        * configure.in: Use AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES instead of FP_PROTOTYPES.
        * m4.h: Define _() according to HAVE_PROTOTYPES, not __STDC__.
        Reported by Eric Backus.

        * configure.in: Substitute CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, taking their value
        from the environment.  Default CFLAGS to -g if not set.
        * Makefile.in: Have CFLAGS and LDFLAGS substituted from configure.
        * lib/Makefile.in: Have CFLAGS substituted from configure.
        Reported by Eric Backus and Tom McConnell.

        * configure.in: m4_undefine changeword before using AC_ENABLE.

        * m4.h: Declare prototypes for error (for ANSI compilers only),
        prefix_all_builtins and reference_error.
        Reported by Tom McConnell.

        * input.c (set_word_regexp): Do not try to initialize the array
        test from a string, this does not work with non-ANSI compilers.
        Reported by Eric Backus.

        * Makefile.in (dist): Clean examples/ before saving it.
        (distclean-local): Also remove stamp-h.
        Reported by Eric Backus.

        * Makefile.in (_stackovf.c): Goal for compiling stacokovf.c with
        non ANSI compilers.
        Reported by Tom McConnell.

        * checks/Makefile.in (clean): Depends on mostlyclean.
        (mostlyclean): New goal.

Fri Jun 24 23:30:31 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Distribute install.sh.
        * install.sh: New file, copied from elsewhere.
        Reported by Assar Westerlund and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * configure.in: Define ENABLE_CHANGEWORD if --enable-changeword.
        * acconfig.h: Explain ENABLE_CHANGEWORD.

        [These modifs all depend upon ENABLE_CHANGEWORD and are adapted
        from code provided by Pete Chown]
        * m4.h: Add original_text field to u_t variant of union u.
        Declare TOKEN_DATA_FUNC macro.
        * builtin.c: Declare changeword.
        (m4_changeword): New function.
        * input.c: Include "regex.h", define variables with word regexps.
        (input_init): Initialize the word regexp.
        (set_word_regexp): New.
        (next_token): Declare local variables, use the previous code if
        default_word_regexp is true.  Else, match using a new code.  Save
        the original text.
        * macro.c (expand_token): Ship out original text if not a macro
        name.
        Reported by Krste Asanovic and Pete Chown.

        [These modifs all depend upon ENABLE_CHANGEWORD]
        * m4.h: Declare external user_word_regexp.
        * m4.c: Declare user_word_regexp, and initialize it from
        --word-regexp or -W, or NULL if not specified.
        * input.c: Use user_word_regexp if specified, instead of
        DEFAULT_WORD_REGEXP.

        * Makefile.in (m4): Revert Jan 3 1994 change.  I'm unable to
        agree with it.

        * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Limit suffixes to .c and .o.
        * checks/Makefile.in: Empty the suffix list.
        Reported by Geoff Russell, Joel Sherrill and Roland McGrath.

        * m4.c: Declare nesting_limit and initialize it to 250.
        Implement -LNUMBER or --nesting-limit=NUMBER to change its
        value.
        * m4.h: Declare nesting_limit as external.
        * macro.c (expand_macro): Stop execution whenever nesting limit
        is exceeded.
        Reported by Bengt Mertensson.

        * eval.c (evaluate): Diagnose excess characters in eval input.
        Things like `eval(08)' used to return 0 with no diagnostic.

        * m4.h: Capitalize first letter of all macro arguments in
        definitions.

        * m4.c: Declare warning_status, initialize it to 0.  Add new
        option -E, or --fatal-warnings, which sets warning_status to
        EXIT_FAILURE instead.
        * m4.h: Declare external warning_status.  Define EXIT_SUCCESS and
        EXIT_FAILURE if not otherwise done by header files.
        * m4.c: Delete declarations for EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE.
        * m4.c, input.c, output.c, symtab.c, builtin.c, macro.c, debug.c,
        eval.c: Replace 0 by warning_status and 1 by EXIT_FAILURE in first
        argument of all M4ERROR calls.
        Reported by Noah Friedman.

        * examples/incl-test.m4: Renamed from incl_test.m4.
        * examples/include.m4: Include incl-test.m4 instead of
        incl_test.m4.
        * examples/multiquotes.m4: Renamed from multi-quotes.m.

Wed Jun 22 21:58:54 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * configure.in: Avoid USE_STACKOVF if <siginfo.h> not found.  Note
        that Jim developped stackovf.c on a 486 running SVR4.0 (ESIX), and
        also tested it on a Sun Sparc workstation running SunOS 4.x.

        * format.c (format): When not HAVE_EFGCVT, m4 was failing the
        49.format check, abusing a `union values' argument with sprintf
        without selecting the proper field.  Now, save the formatting type
        first, delaying the fetch of the corresponding argument.
        Reported by Joseph E. Sacco and Tom Quinn.

        * format.c (format): Remove const from char *fmt declaration when
        not HAVE_EFGCVT, because a NUL may be forced into it.

        * m4.h: Declare atof() when not STDC_HEADERS.
        Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.

        * Regenerate configure using Autoconf 1.11, this corrects a
        problem about an incorrect cpp seting on NeXT 3.1.
        Reported by Alexander Lehmann.

Sun Jun  5 16:25:19 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

Wed May  4 23:59:39 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * Makefile.in: Remove all occurrences of $(MFLAGS), which were
        bringing more evil than good on a few systems.
        Reported by Greg A. Woods.

        substitute ${U}stackovf.o for STACKOVF.
        * acconfig.h: Declare USE_STACKOVF.
        * Makefile.in: Distribute stackovf.c, link with $(STACKOVF).

        * checks/Makefile.in: Rename .all-stamp to stamp-checks.

        * Makefile.in (Makefile, etc.): Adapt for Autoconf 1.8.

Sun Jan 30 14:24:19 1994    (pinard at icule)

        * m4.h: Remove definition of volatile, not used anymore.
        Reported by Jim Meyering and Joseph E. Sacco.

        * m4.h: Consistently use `do { ... } while (0)' in macros, instead
        of `if ... else /* nothing */' for if macros.
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

        * builtin.c (m4_regexp): Reorganize the code for avoiding a
        warning from gcc about `repl' possibly used before defined.
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

Tue Jan 25 18:39:37 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * m4.h: Move the conditional definition of volatile after the
        inclusion of system files, because they may define it first.

Tue Jan  4 19:46:50 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

        * checks/Makefile.in (CHECKS): Add a useless `*' before `[', to
        get around a problem with Alpha make seeing a syntax error, there.
        Reported by Vern Paxson.

        * m4.h: Delete extern sys_nerr, sys_errlist declarations, and
        syserr() macro.  Delete errref, add reference_error and M4ERROR.
        * m4.c: Replace errref, which was returning an input reference
        string, with reference_error, which prints it on standard error.
        * builtin.c, output.c: Use errno as second parameter to error,
        instead of using syserr() with %s.
        * *.c: Use M4ERROR instead of error: no more errref() with %s.
        Doing so, the program name appears after the input reference
        instead of before, which eases M-x next-error processing.

        conflicts on SGI and Alpha.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * *.c: Include <config.h> or "config.h".

        * m4.h: Test for HAVE_MEMORY_H instead of NEED_MEMORY_H.

        * input.c (input_init): Initialize quote and comment strings

        doing so, we ensure we do not free uninitialized variables.

        * checks/check-them: Reverse arguments to both diff, so the
        expected is on the left and the obtained on the right.

        * m4.h: Add MESSAGE{,1,2}, WARNING1, FATAL{,1} and INTERNAL_ERROR
        macros. Delete declarations for m4error, warning, fatal and
        internal_error, add declaration for error_message_prefix.
        * m4.c:  Delete m4error, warning, fatal and internal_error
        routines, add error_message_prefix routine.
        * *.c: Replace m4error routine calls with MESSAGE* macro calls,
        warning with WARNING*, fatal with FATAL* and internal_error with
        INTERNAL_ERROR*.
        * Makefile.in (_m4.c): Do not adjust ansi2knr output for va_alist,

        * debug.c: Remove static specifier for FILE *debug declaration.
        Delete debug_print and debug_message routines, add

        Reported by Joel Sherrill.

        * builtin.c (prefix_all_builtins): Instead of the table size, use

Sat Dec 19 08:21:34 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * Release 1.0.3
        This is still a beta release for the future GNU m4 version 1.1.

        * lib/alloca.c: New, from elsewhere.
        * lib/Makefile.in: Distribute it.  Define and use $(ALLOCA).

        * m4.h: Do not define index/rindex if already defined.  If
        FALSE/TRUE are already defined, do not redefine them, but merely
        define boolean typedef to int.

        * Makefile.in: Use $(DEFS) while compiling ansi2knr.
        * ansi2knr.c: Rewrite #ifdef HAVE_STRING_H || STDC_HEADERS,
        because some C compilers do not like connectives with #ifdef.
        * m4.h: Define `volatile' only if __GNUC__, instead of once for
        __GNUC__ and once for __STDC__.
        * lib/regex.h: Leave const alone, AC_CONST will take care of it.

        * checks/Makefile.in: Use .all_stamp instead of $(CHECKS) for
        Makefile dependencies.  Without it, make keeps destroying and
        remaking $(CHECKS) in a loop (why?).  Distribute .all_stamp.

        * m4.h, m4.c, builtin.c, output.c: Change all divertion/DIVERTION
        to diversion/DIVERSION, this was a spelling error.

        * m4.c: Declare version[], remove #include "version.h".
        * version.h: Deleted.
        * Makefile.in: Remove references to version.h.

        * output.c (shipout_text): Centralize all `#line NUM ["FILE"]'
        production, by using a simpler and more robust algorithm.  This
        solves the problem of synclines sometimes written in the middle of
        an output line.  Delete sync_line() and output_lines variable.
        * m4.h: Remove sync_line prototype and output_lines declaration.
        * input.c (next_char), output.c (shipout_text): Remove references
        to output_lines.
        * input.c (push_file, pop_file): Merely put the value -1 in
        output_current_line instead of calling sync_line, for delaying a
        single `#line NUM FILE' before next output line.  Do not test
        for sync_output, because this is unnecessary clutter.
        * output.c (make_divertion, insert_divertion): Idem.
        * input.c: Rename must_advance_line to start_of_input_line, for
        consistency.

        * debug.c (trace_header): Select a new debug line format, which
        better complies with GNU standards for formatting error messages.
        With option `-dfl', M-x next-error might be used on the output.
        * m4.c (vmesg): Adjust format of error output to GNU standards.
        * m4.texinfo: Adjust examples for `make check' to work.

        * m4.h, builtin.c, debug.c, input.c, macro.c, path.c: Use upper
        case for enum debug_info constants, which were all lower case.

        * builtin.c (m4_regexp, m4_patsubst): Use re_search instead of
        re_search_2.
        * lib/regex.[ch]: Use new version from textutils 1.3.6, with some
        collected patches.  I tried a few times using newer regex.[ch], it
        mysteriously stopped aborting with this one.  Insecure feeling...
        * lib/Makefile.in: Distribute regex.[ch].old, just in case!

Fri Dec 18 11:08:03 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * m4.c: Change `--no-warnings' to `--silent'.
        Reported by David MacKenzie.

        * m4.c: Put all M4OPTS code upon IMPLEMENT_M4OPTS control, and
        leave it off for now.  See comment in m4.c for justification.
        Reported by David MacKenzie.

        * configure.in: Replace AC_USG by AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h).
        * m4.h, ansi2knr.c, lib/regex.h: Replace USG by HAVE_STRING_H.

        * Makefile.in: Add a new `info' goal.  Use macro MAKEINFO.

        * Makefile.in: Ensure recursive cleaning is done before local
        cleaning for all clean goals.

        signed quantity, whatever the radix is.

Wed Nov 18 07:57:19 1992  Jim Meyering  (meyering@idefix)

        * builtin.c, format.c, input.c: Split long lines.
        * m4.c: Use typedef macro_definition instead of struct
        macro_definition.
        * symtab.c: Use typedef symbol instead of struct symbol.

Tue Nov 17 01:58:40 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * *.[ch]: Remove all trailing whitespace, in code and comments.

        * configure.in: Find some awk.
        * Makefile.in: Add $(AWK) to MDEFINES.
        * checks/Makefile.in: Transmit $(AWK) to get_them.
        * checks/get_them: Use $AWK instead of gawk.  Add a close in the
        awk script when switching files, because without this, mawk runs
        out of file descriptors.

Mon Nov 16 20:42:56 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * Makefile.in (realclean): Delete m4.info*.
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

        * Makefile.in: Adjust and link with checks/Makefile.
        * checks/Makefile.in: New.
        * configure.in: Output checks/Makefile.

        * checks/get_them: Have the dnl header of each test more
        recognizable by next-error, also use a better message.

Mon Nov 16 07:48:52 1992  Jim Meyering  (meyering@idefix)

        * m4.h [__GNUC__]: Use __volatile__ instead of `volatile.'
        And use that only if __GNUC__ since we're using it's GCC-specific
        semantics that tell the compiler the associated function doesn't
        return.

        * builtin.c (substitute): Don't use character as an array index.
        (dumpdef_cmp): Make formal arguments `const void *' to avoid
        warnings with gcc -W -Wall on systems with qsort prototype.
        (m4_errprint): Cast obstack_finish to `char *' to avoid warnings
        from gcc -W -Wall.

        * eval.c (most functions): Add parentheses to assignments used
        as truth values go avoid warnings from gcc -Wall.

        * input.c, m4.c, output.c, path.c, symtab.c: Declare static
        any functions that don't need external scope.

        * builtin.c, debug.c, format.c, m4.c, m4.h, macro.c, symtab.c
        (many functions and arrays): Declare `const'.

Sun Nov 15 09:42:09 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * *.[ch]: Rename nil to NULL, using the declaration from <stdio.h>,
        removing the declaration from m4.h.  Also rename false to FALSE
        and true to TRUE.

        * lib/Makefile.in (Makefile): New goal.

        * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Add a .c.o rule, so CFLAGS is not
        so heavily loaded.  It gets more easily overridable, calling make.
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

        * Makefile.in (dist): Get .fname from the current directory name,
        instead of from version.h.  I need updating many files manually,
        when the version changes, version.h is just one of them.

Sat Nov 14 11:01:20 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * m4.h: Remove the tag `boolean' on the enum introducing typedef
        `boolean'.  This tag conflicts with <sys/types.h> on SVR4.
        Reported by Tom McConnell.

Fri Nov 13 00:12:50 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * m4.texinfo: Correct the examples for 33.divert, 38.divnum,
        39.cleardiv, which were describing missing or spurious newlines.
        Modify examples 52.eval, 53.esyscmd and 54.sysval so the results
        do not depend on machine word size, `/bin/false' implementation,
        or `wc' output format.  `make check' is more dependable, now.

        * checks/check_them: Summarize the failed tests by listing their
        name, at end.  If none, issue `All checks successful'.  Output
        `Checking' instead of `Input file:'.

        * checks/get_them, checks/check_them: Reindented.

        * Makefile.in (dist): chmod a+r before making the tar file.

Thu Nov 12 14:42:57 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * builtin.c (m4_dnl): Diagnose any parameter to `dnl'.

        * input.c (next_token): Reinitialize token_buttom just after using
        it as a watermark with obstack_free.  Or else, a future token, big
        enough for triggering reallocation of the obstack chunk, could
        void the initialized value of token_buttom, later causing panic in
        obstack_free.  Rename token_buttom to token_bottom everywhere.

        * m4.h: Before declaring errno, first include <errno.h> and
        ensure that it does not define errno.
        Reported by Richard Stallman.

Wed Nov 11 17:40:35 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * builtin.c: Define and use DECLARE macro for builtins.

        * builtin.c (m4_ifelse): Avoid any diagnostic when exactly one
        argument, this is a common idiom for introducing long comments.

        * builtin.c (m4_ifelse): If 3n + 2 arguments, diagnose missing
        arguments.  The last argument was silently ignored.

        * m4.c (cmd_error): Add a missing semicolon before va_end().

Tue Nov 10 08:57:05 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

        * Makefile.in: Now handle protoized sources.  Define and use U.
        Compile and use ansi2knr with old compilers.  Update DISTFILES.
        Add `aclocal.m4' to `configure' dependencies.

        Include <sys/types.h> if size_t is not defined, before "regex.h".
        (m4_ifelse): Fetch built-in name properly for diagnostic.
        (m4_dumpdef): Remove wrong (char *) cast calling dump_symbol.
        (m4_regexp): Add const to `msg' declaration.

        (xrealloc): Accept and return void * instead of char *.
        * macro.c: Protoized.
        * output.c: Protoized.
        * path.c: Protoized.  Then cast some (char *) over xmalloc's.
        * symtab.c: Protoized.

        Reported by Jason Merrill.

        * Delete .vers, etc/newdist.sh, etc/newvers.sh and
        etc/nextvers.sh.  Release numbers will be edited `by hand'.

Thu Oct 24 15:18:46 1991  Rene' Seindal (seindal at diku.dk)

        * Release 1.0.  Many thanks to those, who provided me with bug
        reports and feedback.

        * Uses GNU configure, taken from the gdb distribution.

        * Uses GNU getopt(), with long option names.

        * The -Q/+quiet option is added, which suppresses warnings about
        missing or superflous arguments to built-in macros.

        * Added default options via the M4OPTS environment variable.

        * The built-in format can now be configured to use sprintf as
        the formatting engine, for systems without [efg]cvt(3).

        * GNU library code is moved to the ./lib subdirectory; other
        utility files are now in ./etc.

        * Several minor bugs have been fixed.

        Francois Pinard and Roland H. Pesch for providing me with reports.

        * The builtins incr and decr are now implemented without use of
        eval.

        * The builtin indir is added, to allow for indirect macro calls
        (allows use of "illegal" macro names).

        * The debugging and tracing facilities has been enhanced
        considerably.  See the manual for details.

        * The -tMACRO option is added, marks MACRO for tracing as soon
        as it is defined.

        * Builtins are traced after renaming iff they were before.

        * Named files can now be undiverted.

        * The -Nnum option can be used to increase the number of
