2239 xvasprintf.

2296 time with changequote. Document a traditional incompatibility
2297 with partial input spanning file boundaries.

2865 2005-02-03 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>

3028 constant string m4 and variable or parameter named version.
3030 Sun Oct 30 08:13:03 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3032 * src/m4.h, src/debug.c: Replace all #ifdef __STDC__ by #if
3033 __STDC__. Alliant FX/2800 Concentrix 2.2 (i860-BSD4.3) compiler
3034 defines __STDC__ to 0, for indicating it is *not* ANSI!
3035 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3037 * configure.in: Added obsolescent tests for AIX and Minix.
3039 * doc/Makefile.in (mostlyclean): Remove texclean in dependencies,

3050 * aclocal.m4 (fp_C_PROTOTYPES): Substitute empty or ansi2knr for
3051 ANSI2KNR, depending on the fact the compiler is ANSI or not.
3052 * src/Makefile.in: Use -Ovarargs=convert on ansi2knr calls.
3053 Remove the sed filter after ansi2knr for debug.c. Use $O instead
3054 of $U, put underline in extensions rather than in basenames. Use
3055 implicit rules, now that regularity makes this possible.
3056 Have $(OBJECTS) depend on $(ANSI2KNR), so to trigger compilation
3057 of ansi2knr whenever it is needed.
3058 * configure.in: Adjusted for correct STACKOVF substitution.
3059 * src/debug.c (trace_format): When not __STDC__, use (...) as a
3060 parameter list, so ansi2knr will convert it to (va_alist) va_dcl.
3061 Reported by David MacKenzie.
3063 * Makefile.in: Remove binprefix. Use transform_name instead.
3064 Reported by David MacKenzie.
3066 * doc/Makefile.in: Create version.texi, use it, clean it.
3067 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3069 Fri Oct 28 20:33:55 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3071 * Makefile.in (all, install, uninstall): Depend on Makefile.
3073 * Makefile.in: For actions invoking $(MAKE) from within compound
3074 sh statements, exit non-zero if the sub-make fails. Otherwise,
3075 the top-level make may exit successfully when it should fail.
3076 Reported by Jim Kingdon.
3078 * {,/*}Makefile.in: Use && after all cd, in case they fail.
3080 * {,*/}Makefile.in: Declare PRODUCT and VERSION macros.

3102 Sat Oct 1 11:22:42 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3104 * configure.in: Do not add -O to CFLAGS for GNU C, now that

3110 * src/stackovf.c: Declare the handler_t typedef earlier in the
3111 code, use it for stackovf_handler.
3112 (setup_stackovf_trap): Use RETSIGTYPE instead of void while
3113 casting sigsegv_handler.
3114 Reported by Robert Bernstein.
3116 * src/m4.c (main): Initialize program_name to argv[0] without

3128 (TAGS): Make in $(srcdir).
3130 * configure.in: Use `choke me' in test, like everywhere!

3133 unreacheable and useless.
3135 * doc/Makefile.in (texclean): Deleted, merged in mostlyclean.
3137 * lib/Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Distribute TAGS.
3138 (distclean): Do not remove TAGS.
3139 (realclean): Remove it.
3140 * Makefile.in: Make TAGS in lib also, not just in src.
3141 Reported by Karl Berry.
3143 * Makefile.in (distclean, realclean): Instead of recursively
3144 calling $(MAKE) for the -local part, allow parallel execution of
3145 -recursive and -local, only delay the removal of config.status,
3146 which is repeated in both goals.
3147 \f
3148 Tue Sep 13 19:21:05 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3150 Release 1.3.
3151 * Makefile.in: Group all *clean-recursive goals in one, using sed
3152 to remove `-recursive' while calling make recursively. Also, use
3153 a subshell for each recursive $(MAKE).
3154 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3156 * src/m4.h (memcpy): Define with bcopy for BSD systems.
3157 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3159 * src/Makefile.in (ansi2knr): Use $(LIBS) while linking, for SunOS
3160 4.1.3 requires -ldl to link even ansik2nr, and we need a way to
3161 specify it.
3163 * configure.in: Use date instead of touch for stamp-h.
3164 * Makefile.in (stamp-h.in): Idem.
3166 * Makefile.in (distclean, realclean): Force serial execution of
3167 both goals, in case parallel makes are being used.

3180 Thu Sep 8 15:07:27 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3182 * Makefile.in (MDEFINES): Remove INSTALL substitutions, for
3183 ./install.sh will not be correctly referred to in sub-Makefiles.
3184 Reported by John David Anglin.
3186 * doc/Makefile.in (texclean): Remove *.cps and *.fns too.
3187 Reported by Eric Backus.
3189 * Makefile.in, checks/Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in,
3190 examples/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Limit

3194 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3196 Tue Sep 6 12:07:33 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3198 * configure.in: Correct stack overflow detection logic, taking
3199 care of systems having only incomplete implementations (like for
3200 Pyramid 9820 OSx 5.0d).
3201 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3203 * src/Makefile.in (TAGS): Remote -t from etags call.
3205 Fri Sep 2 10:37:10 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3207 * lib/Makefile.in (install): Depend on all.

3214 * Makefile.in (distclean-local): Delete config.log.
3215 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3217 Solidify frozen files with respect to -P:
3218 * src/m4.c: Have -P set prefix_all_buitins variable instead of
3219 calling a function by that name. Declare the variable.
3220 * src/m4.h: Adjust declaration for prefix_all_buitins.
3221 * src/builtin.c (builtin_init): Merge in functionality from
3222 previous prefix_all_buitins function, while making entries in the
3223 symbol table, but not modifying the builtin description itself.
3225 * src/freeze.c (reload_frozen_state): Add a useless `break;',
3226 because *many* compilers do not accept an empty `default:'.
3227 Reported by Akiko Matsushita, Eric Backus, John David Anglin,
3228 Joseph E. Sacco, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Tom McConnell and Ulrich Drepper.
3230 * configure.in: Use AC_TYPE_SIGNAL.
3231 * src/stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Use RETSIGTYPE.
3232 Reported by Robert Bernstein.
3234 * checks/Makefile.in (check): Modify PATH so check-them will find
3235 m4 in the src directory.
3236 * Makefile.in (check): Don't.
3237 Reported by Akiko Matsushita and Jim Meyering.
3239 * src/output.c (make_room_for, output_character_helper): New
3240 functions, for implementing a global MAXIMUM_TOTAL_SIZE instead of
3241 a per buffer MAXIMUM_BUFFER_SIZE.
3243 * src/output.c (output_text): New function, for optimizing the
3244 output of strings of characters. Use it.
3246 Tue Aug 30 01:44:29 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3248 * doc, src: New directories reorganizing the distribution.
3249 * doc/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in, examples/Makefile.in: New
3250 files.
3251 * Makefile.in: Adjusted.
3252 * configure.in: Configure new Makefiles.
3254 * m4.h: Declare STRING typedef. Use it for comment and quote
3255 strings, adjusting all references. (This is the rudiments of a
3256 beginning for the eventual withdrawal of NUL terminated strings.)
3257 * output.c (shipout_text): Accept a length parameter, and use it.
3258 All callers adjusted.
3260 Mon Aug 29 12:27:19 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3262 * m4.h: Include <unistd.h> if it exists.

3281 Freeze diversions:
3282 * output.c (freeze_diversions): New function.
3283 * m4.h: Declare freeze_diversions.
3284 * freeze.c: Document frozen file format, revise it, call
3285 freeze_diversions to add diversions to frozen format, and code to
3286 reload them properly.
3287 * m4.c: Do not undivert automatically at end when status being
3288 frozen. Do not call builtin_init when reloading frozen state.
3290 Speed up diversion processing:
3291 * output.c: Add INITIAL_BUFFER_SIZE, MAXIMUM_BUFFER_SIZE,
3292 COPY_BUFFER_SIZE, in-memory diversion buffers, struct diversion
3293 structure and variables, cached variables out of output_diversion,
3294 reallocate_diversion_for and OUTPUT_CHARACTER.
3295 (shipout_text, make_diversion, insert_diversion): Adapted to new
3296 structures.
3297 (insert_file): Use better buffering.
3298 Reported by David MacKenzie.
3300 Sun Aug 28 05:20:02 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3302 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in, checks/Makefile.in: Arrange so
3303 dist works from another build directory.
3305 Sat Aug 27 14:32:45 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3307 * symtab.c (hack_all_symbols): Use hash_table_size instead of
3308 constant HASHMAX, for -H option to work better.
3310 * builtin.c (DECLARE): Simplify by using _ ().
3312 * freeze.c: New file.
3313 * Makefile.in: Compile it, distribute it.
3314 * m4.c: Recognize, document and process --freeze-state (-F) and
3315 --reload-state (-R) options. Pass a true flag to builtin_init
3316 only if no reloading some state.
3317 * builtin.c (define_builtin): Remove static specifier.
3318 (find_builtin_by_name): Remove static specifier.

3322 Wed Aug 24 16:14:19 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3324 * builtin.c (dumpdef_cmp): Rewrite so the cast protect the const
3325 specifier.
3327 * configure.in: Implement --with-dmalloc.
3328 * acconfig.h: Document WITH_DMALLOC.
3329 * m4.h: Add code for when WITH_DMALLOC.
3331 Mon Aug 15 12:38:05 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3333 * m4.c (long_options): Use "error-output", the dash was missing.
3334 Reported by Akiko Matsushita.
3336 Fri Aug 12 16:38:01 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3338 * m4.h: Include <sys/types.h>.
3339 * builtin.c, debug.c, m4.c, output.c, stackovf.c: Don't.
3340 * m4.h: Declare len_lquote and len_rquote as size_t, not int.
3341 int.
3342 * input.c: Declare len_lquote, len_rquote, len_bcomm and len_ecomm
3343 as size_t, not int.
3344 * builtin.c (dump_args): Declare len as size_t, not int.
3346 * debug.c: Prototype the forward declaration of debug_set_file.
3348 * builtin.c (m4_undivert): Replace div by file, for avoiding the
3349 shadowing of this variable.
3350 * output.c (insert_diversion): Idem.
3352 * input.c: Delete def_rquote, def_lquote, def_bcomm and def_ecomm.
3353 (input_init): Duplicate default quote and comment strings.
3354 (set_quotes): Free previous quote strings in all cases. Duplicate
3355 even default quote strings.
3356 (set_comment): Free previous comment strings in all cases.
3357 Duplicate even default comment strings.
3359 * configure.in: Updated for Autoconf 2.0.
3360 * Makefile.in (distclean-local): Also delete config.cache.
3362 * m4.c (usage): Reorganize the --help output by topic. Include a
3363 description for debugging flags.
3365 Fri Jul 29 10:15:52 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3367 * configure.in: If sigaction is available and SA_ONSTACK defined,
3368 use sigaction. Otherwise, if sigvec is available and SV_ONSTACK
3369 defined, use sigvec. Else don't compile stackovf.c.
3370 * stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Idem.
3371 Reported by Jim Avera, Karl Berry, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Matthias Rabe
3372 and Simon Leinen.
3374 Thu Jul 21 22:43:17 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3376 * m4.c (usage): Replace printf par fputs.
3377 \f
3378 Mon Jul 18 23:48:23 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3380 * Release 1.2
3382 Sun Jul 17 08:08:25 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3384 * configure.in: Check for sigaction and sigvec. Add a new delayed
3385 check for RLIMIT_STACK, combine in the checking for getrlimit.
3386 All those things are not universally available.
3387 * stackovf.c: Split setting up the trap handler and catching
3388 signals, for better taking care of various configure outcomes.
3389 * examples/stackovf.sh: Correct a typo.
3390 Reported by Eric Backus, Jim Avera and Jim Meyering.
3392 Sat Jul 16 20:36:19 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3394 * ansi2knr.c: New version sent by its author, Peter Deutsch.
3396 Fri Jul 15 14:36:21 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3398 * Makefile.in: Modify so parallel make will not try making
3399 lib/libm4.a twice simultaneously.
3400 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3402 Thu Jul 14 17:23:17 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3404 * stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Replace "Don't" by "Do not" in
3405 error message, for when no code possibility exists. Even if this
3406 line is completely #ifdef'ed out, it brings a syntax error.
3407 Reported by Andreas Schwab, Jim Meyering and Joseph E. Sacco.
3409 * Makefile.in (install): Have install depend on all too, for lib
3410 to be remade as needed.
3412 * examples/stackovf.sh: Try ksh, bsh and bash for shells
3413 providing ulimit, instead of using only ksh.
3414 Reported by Jim Avera and Joseph E. Sacco.
3416 Tue Jul 12 06:54:31 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3418 * Makefile.in (check): Have it depend on all instead of m4. In
3419 this way, a change in lib will be detected and processed.
3421 * builtin.c (numeric_arg): Use strtol and verify the conversion,
3422 instead of using sscanf which stops as soon as there is a
3423 non-digit in the input. Previously, incr(1xyzzy), eval(1,2xyzzy)
3424 and divert(1xyzzy) were all accepted without any warning or error
3425 messages.
3426 * m4.h: Declare strtol as long if not including stdlib.h.
3427 * configure.in: Check for limits.h, and replace strtol if missing.
3428 * lib/Makefile.in: Substitute LIBOBJS. Distribute strtol.c.
3429 * lib/strtol.c: New file, from elsewhere.
3430 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3432 Thu Jul 7 22:38:10 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3434 * macro.c (expand_macro): Cast value to (boolean) prior to
3435 assigning it to traced.
3436 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3438 * Makefile.in (m4): Always make all in lib first.
3439 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3441 Wed Jul 6 13:16:31 1994 Jim Avera (jima@netcom.com)
3443 * stackovf.c: Isolated OS-dependent sections; Improved portability,
3444 adding support for SunOS/BSD (sigvec, sigstack, and 4-parameter signal
3445 handlers), and a default error message if the fault address is not
3446 available (when neither siginfo.h nor BSD sigcontext are supported).
3447 * configure.in: Changes for stackovf.h: Check for sigcontext,
3448 sigaction, sigstack, and define rlim_t as int if necessary.
3449 * acconfig.h: Added HAVE_SIGCONTEXT and rlim_t.
3450 * examples/stackovf.sh: Run m4 -L99999999 to allow stack overflow.
3451 * ansi2knr.c: Fix for func-ptr args; convert "..." to varargs syntax.
3453 Tue Jul 5 19:13:54 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3455 * configure.in: Use AC_SET_MAKE.
3456 * Makefile.in: Use @SET_MAKE@.
3457 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3459 * checks/check-them: Do not trap on SIGQUIT or SIGALRM.
3460 Reported by Ian Taylor.
3462 Sat Jul 2 00:58:47 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3464 * configure.in: Remove dependency of USE_STACKOVF on STDC_HEADERS,
3465 because siginfo.h is unrelated to standard headers, and siginfo.h
3466 is already checked for.
3467 Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.
3469 * acconfig.h, aclocal.m4, m4.h: Replace HAVE_PROTOTYPES by
3470 PROTOTYPES.
3471 * aclocal.m4, configure.in: Replace AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES by
3472 AC_PROTOTYPES.
3474 Wed Jun 29 22:41:53 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3476 * builtin.c (substitute): Use \& to represent this part of the
3477 string which was matched by the whole regexp, instead of
3478 representing the whole string. Any usage of \0 issues a warning
3479 and acts like \&, it will disappear in some subsequent release.
3481 Mon Jun 27 14:24:23 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3483 * m4.c: Complete prototype for forwarded declaration of usage.
3485 * input.c (init_macro_token): Correct own reference in error
3486 message. Previous name get_macro_func was referred to instead.
3487 (next_char): Correct own reference in error message. Previous
3488 name advance_input was referred to instead.
3490 * m4.h: Declare eval_t and unsigned_eval_t typedefs to 32 bits.
3491 * eval.c (logical_or_term, logical_and_term, or_term, xor_term,
3492 and_term, not_term, logical_not_term, cmp_term, shift_term,
3493 add_term, mult_term, exp_term, unary_term, simple_term): Add
3494 prototype to forwarded declarations. Declare parameter v1 as
3495 eval_t * instead of int *. Same for local variable v2 in dyadic
3496 functions. Same for result in exp_term.
3497 * builtin.c (m4_eval): Declare value as eval_t instead of int.
3498 (ntoa): Declare value as eval_t instead of int. Declare uvalue as
3499 unsigned_eval_t instead of unsigned int. Change casts accordingly.
3500 (shipout_int): Cast first argument of ntoa to eval_t.
3501 Reported by Thorsten Ohl.
3503 * macro.c: Complete the prototypes of forwarded expand_macro and
3504 expand_token.
3505 Reported by Thorsten Ohl.
3507 * m4.h: Define voidstar as void * or char * depending on __STDC__.
3508 The Ultrix 3.1 compiler cannot do much with void pointers.
3510 * builtin.c (dumpdef_cmp): Replace void * by voidstar.
3511 * m4.c (xfree): Replace void * by voidstar.
3512 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3514 * ansi2knr.1: New, from elsewhere.
3515 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Distribute ansi2knr.1
3517 * Makefile.in (stamp-h.in): Avoid running ./config.status if
3518 stamp-h does not exist yet. This avoids running it a second time
3519 just after the initial ./configure.
3520 Reported by David MacKenzie and Tom McConnell.
3522 * m4.h: Replace the enum debug_info declaration with a series of
3523 #define's. The Ultrix 3.1 compiler would otherwise need casting
3524 (int) to most references, when used in expressions.
3525 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3527 Sat Jun 25 00:10:05 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3529 * aclocal.m4: Replace FP_PROTOTYPES by AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES,
3530 following an idea from Brook G. Milligan. AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES
3531 calls the compiler. Previously, FP_PROTOTYPES was only calling
3532 the preprocessor; by not being subject to CFLAGS, this was
3533 discouraging those flags asking for ANSI compilation.
3534 * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_PROTOTYPES.
3535 * configure.in: Use AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES instead of FP_PROTOTYPES.
3536 * m4.h: Define _() according to HAVE_PROTOTYPES, not __STDC__.
3537 Reported by Eric Backus.
3539 * configure.in: Substitute CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, taking their value
3540 from the environment. Default CFLAGS to -g if not set.
3541 * Makefile.in: Have CFLAGS and LDFLAGS substituted from configure.

3543 Reported by Eric Backus and Tom McConnell.
3545 * configure.in: m4_undefine changeword before using AC_ENABLE.
3547 * m4.h: Declare prototypes for error (for ANSI compilers only),
3548 prefix_all_builtins and reference_error.
3549 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3551 * input.c (set_word_regexp): Do not try to initialize the array
3552 test from a string, this does not work with non-ANSI compilers.
3553 Reported by Eric Backus.
3555 * Makefile.in (dist): Clean examples/ before saving it.
3556 (distclean-local): Also remove stamp-h.
3557 Reported by Eric Backus.
3559 * Makefile.in (_stackovf.c): Goal for compiling stacokovf.c with
3560 non ANSI compilers.
3561 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3563 * checks/Makefile.in (clean): Depends on mostlyclean.
3564 (mostlyclean): New goal.

3584 (input_init): Initialize the word regexp.
3585 (set_word_regexp): New.
3586 (next_token): Declare local variables, use the previous code if
3587 default_word_regexp is true. Else, match using a new code. Save
3588 the original text.
3589 * macro.c (expand_token): Ship out original text if not a macro
3590 name.
3591 Reported by Krste Asanovic and Pete Chown.
3593 [These modifs all depend upon ENABLE_CHANGEWORD]
3594 * m4.h: Declare external user_word_regexp.
3595 * m4.c: Declare user_word_regexp, and initialize it from
3596 --word-regexp or -W, or NULL if not specified.

3601 agree with it.
3603 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Limit suffixes to .c and .o.
3604 * checks/Makefile.in: Empty the suffix list.
3605 Reported by Geoff Russell, Joel Sherrill and Roland McGrath.

3611 * macro.c (expand_macro): Stop execution whenever nesting limit
3612 is exceeded.
3613 Reported by Bengt Mertensson.
3615 * eval.c (evaluate): Diagnose excess characters in eval input.
3616 Things like `eval(08)' used to return 0 with no diagnostic.
3618 * m4.h: Capitalize first letter of all macro arguments in
3619 definitions.
3621 * m4.c: Declare warning_status, initialize it to 0. Add new
3622 option -E, or --fatal-warnings, which sets warning_status to
3623 EXIT_FAILURE instead.
3624 * m4.h: Declare external warning_status. Define EXIT_SUCCESS and
3625 EXIT_FAILURE if not otherwise done by header files.
3626 * m4.c: Delete declarations for EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE.

3633 * examples/include.m4: Include incl-test.m4 instead of
3634 incl_test.m4.
3635 * examples/multiquotes.m4: Renamed from multi-quotes.m.
3637 Wed Jun 22 21:58:54 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3639 * configure.in: Avoid USE_STACKOVF if <siginfo.h> not found. Note
3640 that Jim developped stackovf.c on a 486 running SVR4.0 (ESIX), and
3641 also tested it on a Sun Sparc workstation running SunOS 4.x.
3643 * format.c (format): When not HAVE_EFGCVT, m4 was failing the
3644 49.format check, abusing a `union values' argument with sprintf
3645 without selecting the proper field. Now, save the formatting type
3646 first, delaying the fetch of the corresponding argument.
3647 Reported by Joseph E. Sacco and Tom Quinn.
3649 * format.c (format): Remove const from char *fmt declaration when
3650 not HAVE_EFGCVT, because a NUL may be forced into it.
3652 * m4.h: Declare atof() when not STDC_HEADERS.
3653 Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.
3655 * Regenerate configure using Autoconf 1.11, this corrects a
3656 problem about an incorrect cpp seting on NeXT 3.1.
3657 Reported by Alexander Lehmann.
3659 Sun Jun 5 16:25:19 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3661 * m4.h (_): Change argument from `x' to `Args'.
3663 Wed May 4 23:59:39 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3665 * Makefile.in: Remove all occurrences of $(MFLAGS), which were
3666 bringing more evil than good on a few systems.

3679 substitute ${U}stackovf.o for STACKOVF.
3680 * acconfig.h: Declare USE_STACKOVF.
3681 * Makefile.in: Distribute stackovf.c, link with $(STACKOVF).
3682 * m4.h: Declare setup_stackovf_trap().
3683 * m4.c: Call setup_stackovf_trap().
3684 * tests/stackovf_test.sh: New file.
3686 Wed Apr 13 14:10:30 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3688 * checks/Makefile.in: Rename .all-stamp to stamp-checks.
3690 * Makefile.in (Makefile, etc.): Adapt for Autoconf 1.8.
3692 Sun Jan 30 14:24:19 1994 (pinard at icule)
3694 * m4.h: Remove definition of volatile, not used anymore.
3695 Reported by Jim Meyering and Joseph E. Sacco.
3697 * m4.h: Consistently use `do { ... } while (0)' in macros, instead
3698 of `if ... else /* nothing */' for if macros.
3699 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3701 * builtin.c (m4_regexp): Reorganize the code for avoiding a
3702 warning from gcc about `repl' possibly used before defined.
3703 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3705 * m4.h: Avoid a pre-ANSI <memory.h> together with <string.h>.
3706 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3708 Tue Jan 25 18:39:37 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
3710 * m4.h: Move the conditional definition of volatile after the
3711 inclusion of system files, because they may define it first.
3713 Tue Jan 4 19:46:50 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3715 * checks/Makefile.in (CHECKS): Add a useless `*' before `[', to
3716 get around a problem with Alpha make seeing a syntax error, there.
3717 Reported by Vern Paxson.
3719 Mon Jan 3 00:21:45 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3721 * Makefile.in: Do not define LDFLAGS, use CFLAGS on link calls.

3727 instead of AC_HAVE_FUNCS.
3728 Reported by Noah Friedman.
3730 Wed Dec 1 09:37:53 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3732 * m4.c: Initialize show_help and show_version to zero.
3734 * m4.c: Ensure EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE are defined.
3735 Use them in exit() and usage() calls.
3737 Sat Nov 27 10:43:24 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3739 * m4.h: Delete extern sys_nerr, sys_errlist declarations, and
3740 syserr() macro. Delete errref, add reference_error and M4ERROR.
3741 * m4.c: Replace errref, which was returning an input reference
3742 string, with reference_error, which prints it on standard error.
3743 * builtin.c, output.c: Use errno as second parameter to error,
3744 instead of using syserr() with %s.
3745 * *.c: Use M4ERROR instead of error: no more errref() with %s.
3746 Doing so, the program name appears after the input reference
3747 instead of before, which eases M-x next-error processing.
3749 Wed Nov 24 22:16:15 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3751 * checks/get-them: Escape braces with backslashes in patterns,

3761 Declare xrealloc, for use in errref().
3762 * m4.c: Delete error_message_prefix() function, add errref().
3763 * *.c: Use error() systematically in place of all error macros,
3764 now that error() flushes stdout first. Make needed adjustments.
3766 * m4.h: Remove const in sys_errlist[] declaration, it creates
3767 conflicts on SGI and Alpha.
3768 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3770 Sat Nov 20 08:26:15 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3772 * m4.c: Include <getopt.h> instead of "getopt.h".

3786 * builtin.c (m4_eval): Cast strlen to (int) before comparing.
3788 * input.c (input_init): Initialize quote and comment strings
3789 explicitely instead of calling set_quotes and set_comment: by
3790 doing so, we ensure we do not free uninitialized variables.
3792 * checks/check-them: Reverse arguments to both diff, so the
3793 expected is on the left and the obtained on the right.
3795 * m4.h: Add MESSAGE{,1,2}, WARNING1, FATAL{,1} and INTERNAL_ERROR
3796 macros. Delete declarations for m4error, warning, fatal and
3797 internal_error, add declaration for error_message_prefix.
3798 * m4.c: Delete m4error, warning, fatal and internal_error
3799 routines, add error_message_prefix routine.
3800 * *.c: Replace m4error routine calls with MESSAGE* macro calls,
3801 warning with WARNING*, fatal with FATAL* and internal_error with
3802 INTERNAL_ERROR*.
3803 * Makefile.in (_m4.c): Do not adjust ansi2knr output for va_alist,
3804 this is not needed anymore.
3806 * m4.h: Declare extern FILE *debug. Add DEBUG_PRINT{1,3} and
3807 DEBUG_MESSAGE{,1,2} macros. Delete declarations for debug_print
3808 and debug_message, add declaration for debug_message_prefix.

3810 Delete debug_print and debug_message routines, add
3811 debug_message_prefix routine.
3812 * builtin.c, debug.c: Replace debug_print routine calls with
3813 DEBUG_PRINT* macro calls.

3819 (trace_format): Use stdarg instead of varargs if __STDC__.
3821 * configure.in: Remove checks for vfprintf and _doprnt. These
3822 implementations use varargs tricks which are not portable enough.
3823 * lib/vfprintf.c: Deleted.
3824 * lib/_doprnt.c: Deleted.
3825 * lib/Makefile.in: Adjusted accordingly. Remove LIBOBJS.
3826 Reported by Joel Sherrill.

3844 * Makefile.in (m4.dvi): Use m4.texinfo instead of m4.texi.
3845 Reported by Joel Sherrill.
3847 * builtin.c (prefix_all_builtins): Instead of the table size, use
3848 the null entry at end for stopping the loop. It was overwritten.
3849 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
3851 * builtin.c (prefix_all_builtins): Cast xmalloc to (char *).
3852 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

4039 Sat Feb 6 14:59:22 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
4041 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in, check/Makefile.in: In dist goals,
4042 ensure 777 mode for directories, so older tar's will restore file
4043 modes properly.
4045 Sun Jan 17 15:38:05 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
4047 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Put $(CFLAGS) after $(CPPFLAGS),
4048 so the installer can override automatically configured choices.
4049 Reported by Karl Berry.
4051 Fri Jan 15 16:07:00 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
4053 * lib/vfprintf.c: Stolen from Oleo distribution and adapted. The
4054 previous version was not working properly on m68k-hp-bsd4.3.
4055 Reported by Roland McGrath.
4057 * lib/_doprnt.c: Stolen from Oleo distribution.
4058 * configure.in: Check for _doprnt.c if vfprintf.c selected.
4059 * lib/Makefile.in: Distribute _doprnt.c.
4060 Do not distribute regex.[ch].old anymore.
4062 Fri Jan 1 19:42:23 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4064 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Reinstate $(CPPFLAGS), use it.
4065 Richard wants it there.
4067 Sun Dec 27 07:01:54 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4069 * Makefile.in: Add DEFS to MDEFINES.
4070 * lib/Makefile.in (.c.o): Remove $(CPPFLAGS).

4072 (distclean): Remove tags and TAGS too.
4074 Wed Dec 23 12:46:55 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4076 * Makefile.in (dvi, m4.dvi): New goals.
4078 * builtin.c, eval.c, format.c, input.c, m4.[ch], m4.texinfo,
4079 macro.c, output.c, path.c, symtab.c: Change Copyright from
4080 1989-1992 to the explicit enumeration 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992.
4082 * examples/divert.m4: Deleted, this bug has been corrected.
4084 * Makefile.in (texclean, mostlyclean): New goals.
4086 * Makefile.in (clean): Remove clutter from ansi2knr.
4087 Reported by Pierre Gaumond.
4088 Reported by Greg A. Woods.
4090 Sun Dec 20 10:40:20 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4092 * Makefile.in: Remove $(CPPFLAGS) from the .c.o rule. The user
4093 might well use CFLAGS is s/he needs it.
4095 * Makefile.in: Allow installation of info files from a separate
4096 build directory.
4097 Reported by Jason Merrill.
4098 Reported by David MacKenzie.
4099 Reported by Skip Montanaro.
4100 Reported by Erez Zadok.

4103 Sat Dec 19 08:21:34 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4105 * Release 1.0.3
4106 This is still a beta release for the future GNU m4 version 1.1.
4108 * lib/alloca.c: New, from elsewhere.
4109 * lib/Makefile.in: Distribute it. Define and use $(ALLOCA).
4111 * m4.h: Do not define index/rindex if already defined. If
4112 FALSE/TRUE are already defined, do not redefine them, but merely
4113 define boolean typedef to int.
4115 * Makefile.in: Use $(DEFS) while compiling ansi2knr.
4116 * ansi2knr.c: Rewrite #ifdef HAVE_STRING_H || STDC_HEADERS,
4117 because some C compilers do not like connectives with #ifdef.
4118 * m4.h: Define `volatile' only if __GNUC__, instead of once for
4119 __GNUC__ and once for __STDC__.
4120 * lib/regex.h: Leave const alone, AC_CONST will take care of it.
4122 * checks/Makefile.in: Use .all_stamp instead of $(CHECKS) for
4123 Makefile dependencies. Without it, make keeps destroying and
4124 remaking $(CHECKS) in a loop (why?). Distribute .all_stamp.
4126 * m4.h, m4.c, builtin.c, output.c: Change all divertion/DIVERTION
4127 to diversion/DIVERSION, this was a spelling error.
4129 * m4.c: Declare version[], remove #include "version.h".
4130 * version.h: Deleted.
4131 * Makefile.in: Remove references to version.h.
4133 * output.c (shipout_text): Centralize all `#line NUM ["FILE"]'
4134 production, by using a simpler and more robust algorithm. This
4135 solves the problem of synclines sometimes written in the middle of
4136 an output line. Delete sync_line() and output_lines variable.
4137 * m4.h: Remove sync_line prototype and output_lines declaration.
4138 * input.c (next_char), output.c (shipout_text): Remove references
4139 to output_lines.
4140 * input.c (push_file, pop_file): Merely put the value -1 in
4141 output_current_line instead of calling sync_line, for delaying a
4142 single `#line NUM FILE' before next output line. Do not test
4143 for sync_output, because this is unnecessary clutter.
4144 * output.c (make_divertion, insert_divertion): Idem.
4145 * input.c: Rename must_advance_line to start_of_input_line, for
4146 consistency.
4148 * debug.c (trace_header): Select a new debug line format, which
4149 better complies with GNU standards for formatting error messages.
4150 With option `-dfl', M-x next-error might be used on the output.
4151 * m4.c (vmesg): Adjust format of error output to GNU standards.
4152 * m4.texinfo: Adjust examples for `make check' to work.
4154 * m4.h, builtin.c, debug.c, input.c, macro.c, path.c: Use upper
4155 case for enum debug_info constants, which were all lower case.
4157 * builtin.c (m4_regexp, m4_patsubst): Use re_search instead of
4158 re_search_2.
4159 * lib/regex.[ch]: Use new version from textutils 1.3.6, with some
4160 collected patches. I tried a few times using newer regex.[ch], it
4161 mysteriously stopped aborting with this one. Insecure feeling...
4162 * lib/Makefile.in: Distribute regex.[ch].old, just in case!
4164 Fri Dec 18 11:08:03 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4166 * m4.c: Change `--no-warnings' to `--silent'.
4167 Reported by David MacKenzie.
4169 * m4.c: Put all M4OPTS code upon IMPLEMENT_M4OPTS control, and
4170 leave it off for now. See comment in m4.c for justification.
4171 Reported by David MacKenzie.
4173 * configure.in: Replace AC_USG by AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h).
4174 * m4.h, ansi2knr.c, lib/regex.h: Replace USG by HAVE_STRING_H.
4176 * Makefile.in: Add a new `info' goal. Use macro MAKEINFO.
4178 * Makefile.in: Ensure recursive cleaning is done before local
4179 cleaning for all clean goals.
4181 * builtin.c (ntoa): Ensure the value is always interpreted as a
4182 signed quantity, whatever the radix is.
4184 Wed Nov 18 07:57:19 1992 Jim Meyering (meyering@idefix)
4186 * builtin.c, format.c, input.c: Split long lines.
4187 * m4.c: Use typedef macro_definition instead of struct
4188 macro_definition.
4189 * symtab.c: Use typedef symbol instead of struct symbol.
4191 Tue Nov 17 01:58:40 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4193 * *.[ch]: Remove all trailing whitespace, in code and comments.
4195 * configure.in: Find some awk.
4196 * Makefile.in: Add $(AWK) to MDEFINES.
4197 * checks/Makefile.in: Transmit $(AWK) to get_them.
4198 * checks/get_them: Use $AWK instead of gawk. Add a close in the
4199 awk script when switching files, because without this, mawk runs
4200 out of file descriptors.
4202 Mon Nov 16 20:42:56 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4204 * Makefile.in (realclean): Delete m4.info*.
4205 Reported by Jim Meyering.
4207 * Makefile.in: Adjust and link with checks/Makefile.
4208 * checks/Makefile.in: New.
4209 * configure.in: Output checks/Makefile.
4211 * checks/get_them: Have the dnl header of each test more
4212 recognizable by next-error, also use a better message.
4214 Mon Nov 16 07:48:52 1992 Jim Meyering (meyering@idefix)
4216 * m4.h [__GNUC__]: Use __volatile__ instead of `volatile.'
4217 And use that only if __GNUC__ since we're using it's GCC-specific
4218 semantics that tell the compiler the associated function doesn't
4219 return.
4221 * builtin.c (substitute): Don't use character as an array index.
4222 (dumpdef_cmp): Make formal arguments `const void *' to avoid
4223 warnings with gcc -W -Wall on systems with qsort prototype.
4224 (m4_errprint): Cast obstack_finish to `char *' to avoid warnings
4225 from gcc -W -Wall.
4227 * eval.c (most functions): Add parentheses to assignments used
4228 as truth values go avoid warnings from gcc -Wall.
4230 * input.c, m4.c, output.c, path.c, symtab.c: Declare static
4231 any functions that don't need external scope.
4233 * builtin.c, debug.c, format.c, m4.c, m4.h, macro.c, symtab.c
4234 (many functions and arrays): Declare `const'.
4236 Sun Nov 15 09:42:09 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4238 * *.[ch]: Rename nil to NULL, using the declaration from <stdio.h>,
4239 removing the declaration from m4.h. Also rename false to FALSE
4240 and true to TRUE.
4242 * lib/Makefile.in (Makefile): New goal.
4244 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Add a .c.o rule, so CFLAGS is not
4245 so heavily loaded. It gets more easily overridable, calling make.
4246 Reported by Jim Meyering.
4248 * Makefile.in (dist): Get .fname from the current directory name,
4249 instead of from version.h. I need updating many files manually,
4250 when the version changes, version.h is just one of them.
4252 Sat Nov 14 11:01:20 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4254 * m4.h: Remove the tag `boolean' on the enum introducing typedef
4255 `boolean'. This tag conflicts with <sys/types.h> on SVR4.
4256 Reported by Tom McConnell.
4258 Fri Nov 13 00:12:50 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4260 * m4.texinfo: Correct the examples for 33.divert, 38.divnum,
4261 39.cleardiv, which were describing missing or spurious newlines.
4262 Modify examples 52.eval, 53.esyscmd and 54.sysval so the results
4263 do not depend on machine word size, `/bin/false' implementation,
4264 or `wc' output format. `make check' is more dependable, now.
4266 * checks/check_them: Summarize the failed tests by listing their
4267 name, at end. If none, issue `All checks successful'. Output
4268 `Checking' instead of `Input file:'.
4270 * checks/get_them, checks/check_them: Reindented.
4272 * Makefile.in (dist): chmod a+r before making the tar file.
4274 Thu Nov 12 14:42:57 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4276 * builtin.c (m4_dnl): Diagnose any parameter to `dnl'.
4278 * input.c (next_token): Reinitialize token_buttom just after using
4279 it as a watermark with obstack_free. Or else, a future token, big
4280 enough for triggering reallocation of the obstack chunk, could
4281 void the initialized value of token_buttom, later causing panic in
4282 obstack_free. Rename token_buttom to token_bottom everywhere.
4284 * m4.h: Before declaring errno, first include <errno.h> and
4285 ensure that it does not define errno.
4286 Reported by Richard Stallman.
4288 Wed Nov 11 17:40:35 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4290 * builtin.c: Define and use DECLARE macro for builtins.
4292 * builtin.c (m4_ifelse): Avoid any diagnostic when exactly one
4293 argument, this is a common idiom for introducing long comments.
4295 * builtin.c (m4_ifelse): If 3n + 2 arguments, diagnose missing
4296 arguments. The last argument was silently ignored.
4298 * m4.c (cmd_error): Add a missing semicolon before va_end().
4300 Tue Nov 10 08:57:05 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4302 * Makefile.in: Now handle protoized sources. Define and use U.
4303 Compile and use ansi2knr with old compilers. Update DISTFILES.
4304 Add `aclocal.m4' to `configure' dependencies.
4305 * ansi2knr.c: New, from Ghostscript distribution.
4306 * configure.in: Define U through FP_PROTOTYPES for old compilers.
4307 Add AC_ISC_POSIX, AC_CONST, AC_SIZE_T.
4308 * aclocal.m4: New, provide FP_PROTOTYPES.
4309 * m4.h: Conditionnaly protoized through Args, save for varags.
4310 * builtin.c: Protoized. Then:
4311 Include <sys/types.h> if size_t is not defined, before "regex.h".
4312 (m4_ifelse): Fetch built-in name properly for diagnostic.
4313 (m4_dumpdef): Remove wrong (char *) cast calling dump_symbol.
4314 (m4_regexp): Add const to `msg' declaration.
4315 (m4_patsubst): Add const to `msg' declaration.
4316 * debug.c: Protoized, save for varargs.
4317 * eval.c: Protoized.
4318 * format.c: Protoized.
4319 * input.c: Protoized.
4320 * m4.c: Protoized, save for varargs. Then:
4321 (xfree): Accept void * instead of char *.
4322 (xmalloc): Return void * instead of char *.
4323 (xrealloc): Accept and return void * instead of char *.
4324 * macro.c: Protoized.
4325 * output.c: Protoized.
4326 * path.c: Protoized. Then cast some (char *) over xmalloc's.
4327 * symtab.c: Protoized.
4329 Fri Nov 6 02:05:21 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4331 * m4.texinfo: Remove directory from diagnostics in 30.include,
4332 51.eval, 56.errprint and 57.m4exit tests.
4334 * m4.h: Remove declarations for int or void system functions, they
4335 cause more conflicting trouble than they make good.
4337 * configure.in: Avoid configuration header file. Add some tests.
4338 * m4.h: Remove #include "config.h".
4339 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Implement Autoconf interface.
4340 Then, rewritten for better compliance with GNU standards.
4342 Thu Nov 5 12:37:13 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4344 * format.c (format): Avoid syntax error if not HAVE_EFGCVT,
4345 because of a misplaced #endif.
4347 * Many *.[hc] files: Correct intra-line spacing here and there,
4348 according to GNU indent 1.6 advice.
4350 * configure.in: New, using Autoconf 1.2.
4351 * m4.h: Reverse NO_MEMORY_H to NEED_MEMORY_H.

4357 Reported by Jason Merrill.
4359 * Delete .vers, etc/newdist.sh, etc/newvers.sh and
4360 etc/nextvers.sh. Release numbers will be edited `by hand'.
4361 * version.h: De-automatize, force value in.
4363 * m4.c: Changes in order to use a newer getopt.h.
4364 Reported by David MacKenzie.
4366 * checks/: New name for examples/.
4367 * checks/get_them: New location for etc/get_examples.
4368 * checks/check_them: New location for etc/check_examples.
4369 * Makefile.in, checks/get_them, checks/check_them: Adjust.
4370 * lib/vfprintf.c: New location for etc/vfprintf.c.
4371 * Delete empty etc/.
4372 * examples/: New name for test/.
4374 Tue Mar 10 00:29:46 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4376 * Makefile.in (check): Add m4 as dependency.
4378 * m4.c: Accept --no-warnings instead of --no_warnings, and
4379 --no-gnu-extensions instead of --no_gnu_extensions. Make the
4380 usage message more informative.
4381 Reported by David MacKenzie.

4397 Reported by Richard Stallman.
4399 * config/hmake-unicos, config/s-unicos.h: New files.
4400 Reported by Hal Peterson.
4402 * eval.c (exp_term): Have N^0 return 1.
4403 Reported by Michael Fetterman.
4405 * eval.c, input.c, m4.h: Remove last comma in enums.
4406 Reported by Mike Lijewski.

4420 missing or superflous arguments to built-in macros.
4422 * Added default options via the M4OPTS environment variable.
4424 * The built-in format can now be configured to use sprintf as
4425 the formatting engine, for systems without [efg]cvt(3).

4434 * Fixed various bugs. Release 0.99, manual 0.09. Many thanks to
4435 Francois Pinard and Roland H. Pesch for providing me with reports.
4437 * The builtins incr and decr are now implemented without use of
4438 eval.
4440 * The builtin indir is added, to allow for indirect macro calls
4441 (allows use of "illegal" macro names).
4443 * The debugging and tracing facilities has been enhanced
4444 considerably. See the manual for details.
4446 * The -tMACRO option is added, marks MACRO for tracing as soon
4447 as it is defined.
4449 * Builtins are traced after renaming iff they were before.
4451 * Named files can now be undiverted.
4453 * The -Nnum option can be used to increase the number of
4454 divertions available.
4456 * Calling changecom without arguments now disables all comment
