3 Stage 16: cache quotes and improve arg_print.
4 Cache rather than always copying quotes when pushing $@ refs; in
5 particular, reconstruct single-byte quotes on the fly. Allow NUL
6 through m4wrap. Improve sharing of code that prints arguments.
7 Memory impact: slight improvement, due to cached quotes.
8 Speed impact: slight improvement, due to less copying.
9 * src/m4.h (push_wrapup_init, push_wrapup_finish, quote_cache)
10 (func_print): New prototypes.
11 (arg_print): Adjust prototype.
12 * src/builtin.h (func_print): New function.
13 (define_user_macro): Slight cleanup.
14 (dump_args): Delete, no longer used.
15 (m4_errprint): Use arg_print.
16 (m4_m4wrap): Handle embedded NUL.
17 * src/debug.c (trace_pre): Use arg_print.
18 * src/input.c (cached_quote): New variable.
19 (push_wrapup): Split...
20 (push_wrapup_init, push_wrapup_finish): ...into these.
21 (input_print): Use arg_print.
22 (quote_cache): New function.
23 (pop_input, next_char_1, append_quote_token, set_quote_age):
25 * src/macro.c (arg_text, make_argv_ref_token): Adjust users.
26 (arg_print): Add parameters.
27 * examples/null.m4: Test for NUL in m4wrap.
28 * examples/null.out: Update expected output.
29 * doc/m4.texinfo (Debug Levels): Test --arglength truncation.
31 Fix out-of-bounds read for sanitized macro names, from 2008-02-06.
32 * src/m4.c (m4_verror_at_line): Properly terminate the string.
33 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
35 2008-02-19 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
37 Clean up foreach example.
38 * doc/m4.texinfo (Foreach, Improved foreach): Document another
39 shortcoming in foreach.m4.
41 2008-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
43 Avoid some magic numbers.
44 * src/m4.h (DEBUG_TRACE_ARGS, DEBUG_TRACE_EXPANSION)
45 (DEBUG_TRACE_QUOTE, DEBUT_TRACE_ALL, DEBUG_TRACE_LINE)
46 (DEBUG_TRACE_FILE, DEBUG_TRACE_PATH, DEBUG_TRACE_CALL)
47 (DEBUG_TRACE_INPUT, DEBUG_TRACE_CALLID, DEBUG_TRACE_VERBOSE)
48 (DEBUG_TRACE_DEFAULT): Use hex constants, to make it obvious these
50 * src/input.c (CHAR_EOF, CHAR_MACRO, CHAR_QUOTE, CHAR_ARGV):
51 Define in terms of UCHAR_MAX.
52 (set_word_regexp): Likewise.
53 * src/builtin.c (compile_pattern, m4_translit): Likewise.
54 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
56 2008-02-16 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
58 Add regression test for multi-character quote recursion.
59 * examples/foreach2.m4: Use $0 rather than spelling out name.
60 * examples/foreachq2.m4: Likewise.
61 * examples/forloop2.m4: Likewise.
62 * examples/hanoi.m4: Likewise.
63 * examples/trace.m4: Likewise.
64 * doc/m4.texinfo (Improved forloop): Document advantage of $0.
65 (Improved foreach): Adjust dump from file.
67 Stage 15: return argv refs back to collect_arguments.
68 Collect an entire $@ reference at once rather than one argument at
69 a time, outside of quotes (but inside quotes, $@ is still
70 flattened for now). The skip_last field allows concatenation of
71 $@ with other text when collecting arguments.
72 Memory impact: noticeable improvement, due to better reuse of $@.
73 Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due to less parsing.
74 * src/m4.h (enum token_type): Add TOKEN_ARGV.
75 (struct token_chain): Add skip_last member to argv link.
76 (next_token): Update prototype.
77 * src/input.c (CHAR_ARGV): New placeholder input character.
78 (peek_input): Add parameter, to pass $@ at once.
79 (next_char_1, append_quote_token): Handle $@ inside quotes.
80 (init_argv_token): New function.
81 (push_token, match_input, next_token, peek_token, lex_debug):
83 * src/macro.c (expand_input, collect_arguments): Likewise.
84 (expand_argument): Handle incoming $@ token.
85 (arg_adjust_refcount, arg_token, arg_text, make_argv_ref_token):
86 Handle nested $@ refs.
87 * src/symtab.c (symtab_debug): Update caller.
88 * examples/null.m4: Document more tests that are needed. Add
89 tests for NUL with divert, patsubst, and regexp.
90 * examples/null.out: Update for new tests.
91 * doc/m4.texinfo (Syntax): Add test for m4exit and NUL.
92 * checks/get-them (AWK): Give a default value.
93 * checks/check-them: Allow tests to invoke child processes with
94 same include path. Perform message normalization on stderr.
96 2008-02-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
98 Use fastmaps for better regex performance.
99 * src/builtin.c (compile_pattern): Allocate a fastmap.
100 * src/input.c (word_start): Delete.
101 (set_word_regexp): Compile a fastmap instead.
102 (peek_token, next_token): Use fastmap.
103 (pop_wrapup): Free memory on exit.
105 2008-02-13 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
108 * doc/m4.texinfo (Incompatibilities): Use @. after capital.
109 (History): Use @: after abbreviations.
110 (M4exit): Use correct Latin abbreviation.
112 2008-02-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
114 Document behavior of __gnu__().
115 * doc/m4.texinfo (Platform macros): Enhance test.
116 (Macro expansion): New test.
118 Use gnulib's git-merge-changelog driver when available.
119 * .gitattributes: New file.
120 * bootstrap: Install driver, if not already present.
122 2008-02-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
124 Fix security hole introduced 2007-11-22.
125 * src/m4.h (includes): Add quotearg.h.
126 * src/m4.c (m4_verror_at_line): Properly escape macro names.
127 (main): Manage quoteargs defaults.
128 * doc/m4.texinfo (Indir): Document and test this.
130 2008-02-05 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
132 * m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import the strtod module.
134 2008-02-02 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
136 Stage 14: allow pushing argv references.
137 Push a $@ reference to the input engine in one go, rather than
138 pushing each element. For now, argument collection still gets one
139 argument of a $@ at a time; but the penalties of this patch make
140 it easier to manage $@ efficiently in future patches.
141 Memory impact: noticeable penalty, due to larger struct and O(n)
142 to O(n^2) on unboxed recursion.
143 Speed impact: noticeable penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
144 * src/m4.h (struct token_chain): Add comma and quotes fields.
145 (arg_adjust_refcount, arg_print, push_arg_quote): New prototypes.
146 * src/input.c (push_token, pop_input, input_print, peek_input)
147 (next_char_1): Support $@ references.
148 * src/macro.c (struct macro_arguments): Add level field. Match
149 type of arraylen to argc.
150 (collect_arguments): Populate new field.
151 (expand_macro, make_argv_ref, push_arg): Factor...
152 (arg_adjust_refcount, make_argv_ref_token, push_arg_quote):
153 ...into these new methods.
154 (arg_token): Add new parameter.
155 (arg_print): New function.
156 (arg_mark, arg_type, arg_text, arg_equal, arg_empty, arg_len)
157 (arg_func, push_args): Adjust callers.
158 * doc/m4.texinfo (Ifelse): Augment test.
160 2008-01-31 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
162 * checks/Makefile.in: Use @SET_MAKE@, and use @SHELL@ rather
163 than hard-coding /bin/sh.
165 Reported by Lawson Chan.
167 2008-01-27 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
169 Stage 13: push composite text tokens.
170 Support pushing composite tokens, allowing back-references to be
171 reused through multiple macro expansions. Add hueristic that
172 avoids creating new reference when pushing existing references.
173 Memory impact: noticeable improvement due to better reference
174 reuse, except for O(n) to O(n^2) copying in boxed recursion.
175 Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
176 * src/m4.h (push_token): Adjust prototype.
177 * src/input.c (push_token): Add parameter, and handle composite
179 (append_quote_token): Inline short strings.
180 * src/macro.c (push_arg, push_args): Adjust callers.
182 2008-01-26 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
184 Stage 12: make token_chain a union, add string_pair.
185 Shrink size of symbol chains by using a union. Make passing quote
186 delimiters around more efficient. Other code cleanups.
187 Memory impact: slight improvement, due to smaller struct.
188 Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
189 * src/m4.h (STRING): Delete typedef.
190 (struct string_pair, enum token_chain_type): New types.
191 (struct token_chain): Reduce size via a union.
192 (ARG_LEN): New macro.
194 * src/builtin.c (ARG): ...from here.
195 (dump_args, define_macro, m4_dumpdef, m4_builtin, m4_indir)
196 (m4_defn, mkstemp_helper, m4_maketemp, m4_mkstemp, m4___file__)
197 (m4___program__, m4_m4wrap, m4_len, m4_index, m4_substr)
198 (m4_regexp, m4_patsubst): Adjust callers.
199 * src/input.c (rquote, lquote, bcomm, ecomm): Delete...

207 * src/format.c (ARG_INT, ARG_LONG, ARG_STR, ARG_DOUBLE, format):
209 * src/freeze.c (produce_frozen_state): Likewise.
210 * src/debug.c (trace_format, trace_pre): Likewise.
211 (debug_decode): Don't lose partial traces prior to reducing
214 2008-01-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
216 Stage 11: full circle for single argument references.
217 Pass quoted strings through to argument collection in a single
218 action, so that an argument can be reused throughout macro
219 recursion if it remains unchanged.
220 Memory impact: noticeable improvement, due to more reuse in
221 argument collection stacks; O(n^2) to O(n) on boxed recursion.
222 Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due to less copying.
223 * src/m4.h (struct token_chain): Add quote_age member.
224 (struct token_data): Add end member to chain alternate.
225 (make_text_link): New prototype.

232 (match_input, next_token): Adjust callers to handle quoted input
234 * src/macro.c (struct macro_arguments): Add wrapper member.
235 (expand_argument): Accept composite blocks from input engine.
236 (expand_macro): Reduce refcounts of composite arguments.
237 (collect_arguments, arg_token, arg_mark, make_argv_ref): Update to
239 (arg_type, arg_text, arg_equal, arg_len): Treat composite
241 (push_arg, push_args): Handle composites.
243 2008-01-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
245 Stage 10: avoid extra copying of strings and comments.
246 When collecting tokens that are immune to further expansion, avoid
247 copying data from one obstack to another by outputting it into the
248 destination obstack to begin with. Also reduce copying done in
250 Memory impact: slight improvement, due to better obstack usage.
251 Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due less data copying.
252 * m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import the intprops and vasnprintf-posix
254 * src/m4.h (includes): Use new gnulib modules.
255 (next_token): Adjust prototype.
256 (bad_argc): New prototype.
257 * src/format.c (arg_int, arg_long, arg_double): New helper
259 (ARG_INT, ARG_LONG, ARG_STR, ARG_DOUBLE): Track missing
261 (format): Improve warnings, and avoid copying into obstack in the

264 (lex_debug): Adjust caller.
265 * src/symtab.c (symtab_debug): Likewise.
266 * src/macro.c (expand_input, expand_token, expand_argument)
267 (collect_arguments): Likewise.
268 * src/output.c (m4_tmpname): Guarantee correct buffer size.
269 * src/builtin.c (builtin_init): Improve efficiency.
271 (ntoa): Tighten buffer allocation.

280 (History): Reword to account for new year and eventual result of
283 2008-01-08 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
286 * NEWS: Update year. Mention effect of my recent memmem
287 contributions to gnulib.
289 2007-12-21 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
291 Stage 9: share rather than copy single-arg refs.
292 Use hooks of previous patch to create back-references to arguments
293 in the input engine, and inline short text rather than always
294 creating a FIFO link. Also start testing embedded NUL behavior.
295 Until the argument collection engine also shares references, the
296 memory usage increases.
297 Memory impact: noticeable penalty, due to longer life of argv
298 changing O(n) to O(n^2) on boxed recursion.
299 Speed impact: slight improvement, due less data copying.
300 * m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import quote and memmem modules.
301 * src/m4.h (arg_scratch): New prototype.
302 * src/input.c (INPUT_INLINE_THRESHOLD): New define.
303 (push_token): Use it to inline short text, and save references to
305 (input_init, next_token): Simplify obstack handling.
306 * src/macro.c (expand_argument): Likewise.
307 (expand_macro): Track scratch space.
308 (arg_scratch): New function.
309 (make_argv_ref): Use it.
310 (push_args): Likewise, and simplify comma handling, since most
311 separators are short enough to be inlined.
312 * src/builtin.c (builtin_init): Avoid cast.
313 (m4_errprint, m4_index): Transparently support NUL.
314 (m4_translit): Use scratch space, rather than leaking memory on
316 * doc/m4.texinfo (Syntax): Add new test of embedded NUL.
317 * checks/get-them: Extract test that uses external files.
318 * checks/check-them: Run the new test. Use unified diff if
319 possible, and force text mode when debugging NUL handling.
320 * examples/null.m4: New file.
321 * examples/null.out: Likewise.
322 * examples/null.err: Likewise.
323 * examples/Makefile.am (EXTRA_FILES): Distribute these files.
324 * .gitattributes: Treat new files as text, in spite of embedded
327 2007-12-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
329 Stage 8: extend life of references into argv.
330 Add hooks to lengthen the lifetime of arguments reused in a macro
331 expansion, rather than always discarding arguments at the end of
332 expand_macro. Rework the expand_macro obstacks to handle longer
333 lifetimes. For now, the hooks remain unused.
334 Memory impact: slight penalty, due to larger structs.
335 Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
336 * src/m4.h (obstack_regrow): Delete, now that it is unused.
337 (struct token_chain): Add level field.
338 (push_token): Adjust prototype.
339 (adjust_refcount): New prototype.
340 * src/macro.c [DEBUG_MACRO]: Add debugging hooks for $@ reference
342 (argc_stack, argv_stack): Delete, replaced by...
343 (struct macro_arg_stacks, stacks, stacks_count): ...these new
344 structure for tracking $@ references.
345 (expand_input): Initialize new structure.
346 (collect_arguments): Alter signature.
347 (expand_macro): Rework obstack handling, in order to keep $@
348 references alive until they have been rescanned.
349 (adjust_refcount, arg_mark): New functions.
350 (make_argv_ref): Use new field.
351 (push_arg, push_args): Update callers.
352 * src/input.c (make_text_link): Use new field.
353 (push_token): Change signature.
354 (pop_input, next_char_1): Call new function.
355 * doc/m4.texinfo: Clean up some examples of -d option usage.
356 (Ifelse): Add some stress tests.
358 2007-12-13 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
361 * doc/m4.texinfo (Inhibiting Invocation): Missed one instance in
366 2007-12-13 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org> (tiny change)
368 * doc/m4.texinfo (Inhibiting Invocation): Fix quoting of a quoting
370 Reported by Giovanni Toffetti.
372 2007-12-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
374 Stage 7: add chained token support to input parser.
375 Allow the LIFO input engine to rescan a macro expansion composed
376 of smaller chunks of FIFO data, rather than the old approach of a
377 monolithic string. For now, all chunks are still copied.
378 Memory impact: slight penalty, due to FIFO chain overhead.
379 Speed impact: noticeable penalty, due to extra bookkeeping.
380 * src/m4.h (struct token_chain): Add const safety.
381 (push_token): New prototype.
382 * src/input.c (INPUT_CHAIN): New enumerator.
383 (struct input_block): Add new input type u_c, and change u_s to
384 length-based processing.
385 (make_text_link): New helper function.
386 (push_token): New function.
387 (push_string_finish): Use it.
388 (pop_input, input_print, peek_input, next_char, next_char_1):
389 Adjust to handle new input type.
390 * src/macro.c (push_arg, push_args): Use new function.
392 2007-12-10 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
394 Stage 6: convert builtins to push arg at a time.
395 Add new methods to factor all builtins whose expansion includes an
396 argument, making back-reference creation easier in future patches.
397 Factor out length-limited printing to obstacks, and use -1 rather
398 than 0 for unlimited length.
400 Speed impact: slight improvement, due to better code sharing.
401 * src/m4.h (includes): Include <limits.h> here, instead of in
403 (input_block): New typedef.
404 (trace_pre, trace_post, push_string_finish): Update prototypes.
405 (obstack_print, input_print, push_arg, push_args): New
407 * src/input.c (push_string_finish): Change return type.
408 (input_print): New function.
409 * src/debug.c (trace_format): Add %B specifier, and use new
411 (trace_pre): Remove redundant argc parameter.
412 (trace_post): Likewise, and change signature.
413 (obstack_print): New function.
414 * src/macro.c (expand_macro): Update caller.
415 (push_arg, push_args): New functions.
416 * src/builtin.c (m4_ifdef, m4_ifelse, m4_shift, m4_substr)
417 (m4_patsubst, expand_user_macro): Use new functions.
418 (mkstemp_helper, m4_maketemp): Avoid extra trailing NULs.
419 * src/m4.c (max_debug_argument_length, main): Set to INT_MAX, not
421 * src/output.c: Update includes.
422 * src/symtab.c: Likewise.
424 2007-12-07 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
426 Minor security fix: Quote output of mkstemp.
427 * src/builtin.c (mkstemp_helper): Produce quoted output.
428 * doc/m4.texinfo (Mkstemp): Update the documentation and tests.
429 * NEWS: Document this change.
431 Stage 5: add notion of quote age.
432 Cache the quoting rules that were in effect when a string was
433 parsed, to avoid reparsing that string if no changequote or other
434 quote age change took place in the meantime. A quote_age of 0 is
435 always safe, but does not benefit from caching.
436 Memory impact: slight penalty, due to larger struct.
437 Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
438 * src/input.c: Comment cleanups.
439 (current_quote_age): New global variable.
440 (set_quote_age): New helper function.
441 (input_init, set_word_regexp): Use it.

448 (expand_token): Alter signature and track quote age.
449 (expand_input, expand_argument): All callers changed.
450 (collect_arguments, make_argv_ref): Track quote age.
451 (arg_text, arg_len, arg_func): Detect type mismatch.
452 * doc/m4.texinfo (Ifelse, Changequote): Add more tests.
453 (Incompatibilities): Fix typo.
454 * examples/wraplifo.m4: New file.
455 * examples/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute it.
457 2007-12-04 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
459 Fix builds with OpenBSD make.
460 * doc/Makefile.am (HELP2MAN): New macro.
461 (man_MANS, m4.1): Fix rules for building m4.1 into srcdir.
462 * README: Update copyright.
463 * HACKING: Mention help2man and makeinfo dependencies.
465 2007-11-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
467 Stage 4: route indir, builtin through ref; make argv opaque.
468 Finish making struct opaque to all but the input engine, by
469 reworking obstack usage in expand_macro to better support creation
470 of a $@ reference. Canonicalize the empty argument, to allow
471 pointer comparison optimizations.
472 Memory impact: slight penalty, due to larger struct.
473 Speed impact: slight improvement, due to fewer function calls.
474 * src/m4.h (obstack_regrow): Borrow definition from head.
475 (struct token_chain): Add flatten and len members.
476 (arg_equal, arg_empty, make_argv_ref): New prototypes.
477 (struct macro_arguments): Move...
478 * src/macro.c (struct macro_arguments): ...here, making it
479 opaque. Add has_ref member.
480 (empty_token): New placeholder, for optimizing comparison with
482 (collect_arguments): Change signature, and populate new fields.
483 (expand_macro): Alter handling of obstacks.
484 (arg_token): New helper method.
485 (arg_equal, arg_empty, make_argv_ref): New methods.
486 (arg_type, arg_text, arg_len, arg_func): Use new methods.
487 * src/builtin.c (m4_ifelse, m4_builtin, m4_indir, m4_eval):
489 * src/format.c (format): Likewise.
491 Stage 3: cache length, rather than computing it.
492 Cache the length of a token, to avoid repeating lots of strlen
493 calls. Additionally, by using obstack length rather than strlen,
494 the input engine can now support embedded NUL.
495 Memory impact: slight penalty, due to larger struct.
496 Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due to fewer function
498 * src/input.c (next_token): Grab length from obstack rather than
500 * src/m4.h (token_data, macro_arguments): Add length field.
501 (TOKEN_DATA_LEN): New accessor.
502 (define_user_macro): Add parameter.

536 Stage 1: convert token_data** into new object.
537 Pass a variable-size wrapper structure instead of an array to
538 builtins, so that subsequent optimizations in the structure need
539 not impact every builtin client.
540 Memory impact: slight penalty, since struct is larger than array.

651 (push_string_init, next_char_1): Adjust callers.
653 Note: Patches titled Stage 0 through N form a series of patches

656 performs cleanups, such as handling of embedded NUL, made easier
657 by the code refactoring.
659 Stage 0: Fix memory leak in tail recursion.
660 Free expansion text in the input engine as soon as it is parsed,
661 rather than when the recursive expansion completes.

3222 * src/m4.h, src/debug.c: Replace all #ifdef __STDC__ by #if
3223 __STDC__. Alliant FX/2800 Concentrix 2.2 (i860-BSD4.3) compiler

3242 * src/Makefile.in: Use -Ovarargs=convert on ansi2knr calls.
3243 Remove the sed filter after ansi2knr for debug.c. Use $O instead
3244 of $U, put underline in extensions rather than in basenames. Use
3245 implicit rules, now that regularity makes this possible.
3246 Have $(OBJECTS) depend on $(ANSI2KNR), so to trigger compilation
3247 of ansi2knr whenever it is needed.
3248 * configure.in: Adjusted for correct STACKOVF substitution.
3249 * src/debug.c (trace_format): When not __STDC__, use (...) as a

3347 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3349 * src/Makefile.in (ansi2knr): Use $(LIBS) while linking, for SunOS
3350 4.1.3 requires -ldl to link even ansik2nr, and we need a way to

3354 * Makefile.in (stamp-h.in): Idem.
3356 * Makefile.in (distclean, realclean): Force serial execution of

3410 * src/m4.h: Adjust declaration for prefix_all_buitins.
3411 * src/builtin.c (builtin_init): Merge in functionality from
3412 previous prefix_all_buitins function, while making entries in the
3413 symbol table, but not modifying the builtin description itself.
3415 * src/freeze.c (reload_frozen_state): Add a useless `break;',
3416 because *many* compilers do not accept an empty `default:'.
3417 Reported by Akiko Matsushita, Eric Backus, John David Anglin,
3418 Joseph E. Sacco, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Tom McConnell and Ulrich Drepper.
3420 * configure.in: Use AC_TYPE_SIGNAL.

3503 * Makefile.in: Compile it, distribute it.
3504 * m4.c: Recognize, document and process --freeze-state (-F) and

3616 * m4.h: Declare strtol as long if not including stdlib.h.
3617 * configure.in: Check for limits.h, and replace strtol if missing.

3622 Thu Jul 7 22:38:10 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3624 * macro.c (expand_macro): Cast value to (boolean) prior to
3625 assigning it to traced.
3626 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3628 * Makefile.in (m4): Always make all in lib first.
3629 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3631 Wed Jul 6 13:16:31 1994 Jim Avera (jima@netcom.com)
3633 * stackovf.c: Isolated OS-dependent sections; Improved portability,
3634 adding support for SunOS/BSD (sigvec, sigstack, and 4-parameter signal
3635 handlers), and a default error message if the fault address is not
3636 available (when neither siginfo.h nor BSD sigcontext are supported).
3637 * configure.in: Changes for stackovf.h: Check for sigcontext,
3638 sigaction, sigstack, and define rlim_t as int if necessary.
3639 * acconfig.h: Added HAVE_SIGCONTEXT and rlim_t.
3640 * examples/stackovf.sh: Run m4 -L99999999 to allow stack overflow.
3641 * ansi2knr.c: Fix for func-ptr args; convert "..." to varargs syntax.
3643 Tue Jul 5 19:13:54 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3645 * configure.in: Use AC_SET_MAKE.
3646 * Makefile.in: Use @SET_MAKE@.
3647 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3649 * checks/check-them: Do not trap on SIGQUIT or SIGALRM.
3650 Reported by Ian Taylor.
3652 Sat Jul 2 00:58:47 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3654 * configure.in: Remove dependency of USE_STACKOVF on STDC_HEADERS,
3655 because siginfo.h is unrelated to standard headers, and siginfo.h
3656 is already checked for.
3657 Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.
3659 * acconfig.h, aclocal.m4, m4.h: Replace HAVE_PROTOTYPES by
3661 * aclocal.m4, configure.in: Replace AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES by
3664 Wed Jun 29 22:41:53 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3666 * builtin.c (substitute): Use \& to represent this part of the
3667 string which was matched by the whole regexp, instead of
3668 representing the whole string. Any usage of \0 issues a warning
3669 and acts like \&, it will disappear in some subsequent release.
3671 Mon Jun 27 14:24:23 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3673 * m4.c: Complete prototype for forwarded declaration of usage.
3675 * input.c (init_macro_token): Correct own reference in error
3676 message. Previous name get_macro_func was referred to instead.
3677 (next_char): Correct own reference in error message. Previous
3678 name advance_input was referred to instead.
3680 * m4.h: Declare eval_t and unsigned_eval_t typedefs to 32 bits.
3681 * eval.c (logical_or_term, logical_and_term, or_term, xor_term,
3682 and_term, not_term, logical_not_term, cmp_term, shift_term,
3683 add_term, mult_term, exp_term, unary_term, simple_term): Add
3684 prototype to forwarded declarations. Declare parameter v1 as
3685 eval_t * instead of int *. Same for local variable v2 in dyadic
3686 functions. Same for result in exp_term.
3687 * builtin.c (m4_eval): Declare value as eval_t instead of int.
3688 (ntoa): Declare value as eval_t instead of int. Declare uvalue as
3689 unsigned_eval_t instead of unsigned int. Change casts accordingly.
3690 (shipout_int): Cast first argument of ntoa to eval_t.
3691 Reported by Thorsten Ohl.
3693 * macro.c: Complete the prototypes of forwarded expand_macro and
3695 Reported by Thorsten Ohl.
3697 * m4.h: Define voidstar as void * or char * depending on __STDC__.
3698 The Ultrix 3.1 compiler cannot do much with void pointers.
3700 * builtin.c (dumpdef_cmp): Replace void * by voidstar.
3701 * m4.c (xfree): Replace void * by voidstar.
3702 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3704 * ansi2knr.1: New, from elsewhere.
3705 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Distribute ansi2knr.1
3707 * Makefile.in (stamp-h.in): Avoid running ./config.status if
3708 stamp-h does not exist yet. This avoids running it a second time
3709 just after the initial ./configure.
3710 Reported by David MacKenzie and Tom McConnell.
3712 * m4.h: Replace the enum debug_info declaration with a series of
3713 #define's. The Ultrix 3.1 compiler would otherwise need casting
3714 (int) to most references, when used in expressions.
3715 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3717 Sat Jun 25 00:10:05 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3719 * aclocal.m4: Replace FP_PROTOTYPES by AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES,
3720 following an idea from Brook G. Milligan. AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES
3721 calls the compiler. Previously, FP_PROTOTYPES was only calling
3722 the preprocessor; by not being subject to CFLAGS, this was
3723 discouraging those flags asking for ANSI compilation.
3724 * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_PROTOTYPES.
3725 * configure.in: Use AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES instead of FP_PROTOTYPES.
3726 * m4.h: Define _() according to HAVE_PROTOTYPES, not __STDC__.
3727 Reported by Eric Backus.
3729 * configure.in: Substitute CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, taking their value
3730 from the environment. Default CFLAGS to -g if not set.
3731 * Makefile.in: Have CFLAGS and LDFLAGS substituted from configure.
3732 * lib/Makefile.in: Have CFLAGS substituted from configure.
3733 Reported by Eric Backus and Tom McConnell.
3735 * configure.in: m4_undefine changeword before using AC_ENABLE.
3737 * m4.h: Declare prototypes for error (for ANSI compilers only),
3738 prefix_all_builtins and reference_error.
3739 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3741 * input.c (set_word_regexp): Do not try to initialize the array
3742 test from a string, this does not work with non-ANSI compilers.
3743 Reported by Eric Backus.
3745 * Makefile.in (dist): Clean examples/ before saving it.
3746 (distclean-local): Also remove stamp-h.
3747 Reported by Eric Backus.
3749 * Makefile.in (_stackovf.c): Goal for compiling stacokovf.c with
3751 Reported by Tom McConnell.
3753 * checks/Makefile.in (clean): Depends on mostlyclean.
3754 (mostlyclean): New goal.
3756 Fri Jun 24 23:30:31 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3758 * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Distribute install.sh.
3759 * install.sh: New file, copied from elsewhere.
3760 Reported by Assar Westerlund and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3762 Thu Jun 23 00:00:30 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3764 * configure.in: Define ENABLE_CHANGEWORD if --enable-changeword.
3765 * acconfig.h: Explain ENABLE_CHANGEWORD.
3767 [These modifs all depend upon ENABLE_CHANGEWORD and are adapted
3768 from code provided by Pete Chown]
3769 * m4.h: Add original_text field to u_t variant of union u.
3770 Declare TOKEN_DATA_FUNC macro.
3771 * builtin.c: Declare changeword.
3772 (m4_changeword): New function.
3773 * input.c: Include "regex.h", define variables with word regexps.
3774 (input_init): Initialize the word regexp.
3775 (set_word_regexp): New.
3776 (next_token): Declare local variables, use the previous code if
3777 default_word_regexp is true. Else, match using a new code. Save
3779 * macro.c (expand_token): Ship out original text if not a macro
3781 Reported by Krste Asanovic and Pete Chown.
3783 [These modifs all depend upon ENABLE_CHANGEWORD]
3784 * m4.h: Declare external user_word_regexp.
3785 * m4.c: Declare user_word_regexp, and initialize it from
3786 --word-regexp or -W, or NULL if not specified.
3787 * input.c: Use user_word_regexp if specified, instead of
3788 DEFAULT_WORD_REGEXP.
3790 * Makefile.in (m4): Revert Jan 3 1994 change. I'm unable to
3793 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Limit suffixes to .c and .o.
3794 * checks/Makefile.in: Empty the suffix list.
3795 Reported by Geoff Russell, Joel Sherrill and Roland McGrath.
3797 * m4.c: Declare nesting_limit and initialize it to 250.
3798 Implement -LNUMBER or --nesting-limit=NUMBER to change its
3800 * m4.h: Declare nesting_limit as external.
3801 * macro.c (expand_macro): Stop execution whenever nesting limit
3803 Reported by Bengt Mertensson.
3805 * eval.c (evaluate): Diagnose excess characters in eval input.
3806 Things like `eval(08)' used to return 0 with no diagnostic.
3808 * m4.h: Capitalize first letter of all macro arguments in
3811 * m4.c: Declare warning_status, initialize it to 0. Add new
3812 option -E, or --fatal-warnings, which sets warning_status to
3813 EXIT_FAILURE instead.
3814 * m4.h: Declare external warning_status. Define EXIT_SUCCESS and
3815 EXIT_FAILURE if not otherwise done by header files.
3816 * m4.c: Delete declarations for EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE.
3817 * m4.c, input.c, output.c, symtab.c, builtin.c, macro.c, debug.c,
3818 eval.c: Replace 0 by warning_status and 1 by EXIT_FAILURE in first
3819 argument of all M4ERROR calls.
3820 Reported by Noah Friedman.
3822 * examples/incl-test.m4: Renamed from incl_test.m4.
3823 * examples/include.m4: Include incl-test.m4 instead of
3825 * examples/multiquotes.m4: Renamed from multi-quotes.m.
3827 Wed Jun 22 21:58:54 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3829 * configure.in: Avoid USE_STACKOVF if <siginfo.h> not found. Note
3830 that Jim developped stackovf.c on a 486 running SVR4.0 (ESIX), and
3831 also tested it on a Sun Sparc workstation running SunOS 4.x.
3833 * format.c (format): When not HAVE_EFGCVT, m4 was failing the
3834 49.format check, abusing a `union values' argument with sprintf
3835 without selecting the proper field. Now, save the formatting type
3836 first, delaying the fetch of the corresponding argument.
3837 Reported by Joseph E. Sacco and Tom Quinn.
3839 * format.c (format): Remove const from char *fmt declaration when
3840 not HAVE_EFGCVT, because a NUL may be forced into it.
3842 * m4.h: Declare atof() when not STDC_HEADERS.
3843 Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.
3845 * Regenerate configure using Autoconf 1.11, this corrects a
3846 problem about an incorrect cpp seting on NeXT 3.1.
3847 Reported by Alexander Lehmann.
3849 Sun Jun 5 16:25:19 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3851 * m4.h (_): Change argument from `x' to `Args'.
3853 Wed May 4 23:59:39 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3855 * Makefile.in: Remove all occurrences of $(MFLAGS), which were
3856 bringing more evil than good on a few systems.
3857 Reported by Greg A. Woods.
3859 Fri Apr 22 15:59:35 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3861 * m4.h: Rename Args() to _().
3862 * m4.h: Remove extern specifier from all function declarations.
3864 Fri Apr 22 15:51:21 1994 Jim Avera (jima@netcom.com)
3866 * stackovf.c: New file implementing stack-overflow detection.
3867 * configure.in: Check for getrlimit, sigaction. If all of
3868 standard headers, getrlimit and sigaction, define USE_STACKOVF and
3869 substitute ${U}stackovf.o for STACKOVF.
3870 * acconfig.h: Declare USE_STACKOVF.
3871 * Makefile.in: Distribute stackovf.c, link with $(STACKOVF).
3872 * m4.h: Declare setup_stackovf_trap().
3873 * m4.c: Call setup_stackovf_trap().
3874 * tests/stackovf_test.sh: New file.
3876 Wed Apr 13 14:10:30 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3878 * checks/Makefile.in: Rename .all-stamp to stamp-checks.
3880 * Makefile.in (Makefile, etc.): Adapt for Autoconf 1.8.
3882 Sun Jan 30 14:24:19 1994 (pinard at icule)
3884 * m4.h: Remove definition of volatile, not used anymore.
3885 Reported by Jim Meyering and Joseph E. Sacco.
3887 * m4.h: Consistently use `do { ... } while (0)' in macros, instead
3888 of `if ... else /* nothing */' for if macros.
3889 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3891 * builtin.c (m4_regexp): Reorganize the code for avoiding a
3892 warning from gcc about `repl' possibly used before defined.
3893 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3895 * m4.h: Avoid a pre-ANSI <memory.h> together with <string.h>.
3896 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3898 Tue Jan 25 18:39:37 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
3900 * m4.h: Move the conditional definition of volatile after the
3901 inclusion of system files, because they may define it first.
3903 Tue Jan 4 19:46:50 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3905 * checks/Makefile.in (CHECKS): Add a useless `*' before `[', to
3906 get around a problem with Alpha make seeing a syntax error, there.
3907 Reported by Vern Paxson.
3909 Mon Jan 3 00:21:45 1994 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3911 * Makefile.in: Do not define LDFLAGS, use CFLAGS on link calls.
3912 Reported by Richard Stallman.
3914 Sat Dec 25 08:06:05 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3916 * configure.in: Correct test for strerror, AC_FUNC_CHECK was used
3917 instead of AC_HAVE_FUNCS.
3918 Reported by Noah Friedman.
3920 Wed Dec 1 09:37:53 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3922 * m4.c: Initialize show_help and show_version to zero.
3924 * m4.c: Ensure EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE are defined.
3925 Use them in exit() and usage() calls.
3927 Sat Nov 27 10:43:24 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3929 * m4.h: Delete extern sys_nerr, sys_errlist declarations, and
3930 syserr() macro. Delete errref, add reference_error and M4ERROR.
3931 * m4.c: Replace errref, which was returning an input reference
3932 string, with reference_error, which prints it on standard error.
3933 * builtin.c, output.c: Use errno as second parameter to error,
3934 instead of using syserr() with %s.
3935 * *.c: Use M4ERROR instead of error: no more errref() with %s.
3936 Doing so, the program name appears after the input reference
3937 instead of before, which eases M-x next-error processing.
3939 Wed Nov 24 22:16:15 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3941 * checks/get-them: Escape braces with backslashes in patterns,
3942 because HPUX-9.01 awk needs this.
3943 Reported by Jim Meyering.
3945 Mon Nov 22 10:55:52 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3947 * builtin.c: Declare "FILE *popen ();".
3949 * m4.h: Remove MESSAGE{,1,2}, WARNING1, FATAL{,1}, INTERNAL_ERROR
3950 macros, replace error_message_prefix() declaration by errref()'s.
3951 Declare xrealloc, for use in errref().
3952 * m4.c: Delete error_message_prefix() function, add errref().
3953 * *.c: Use error() systematically in place of all error macros,
3954 now that error() flushes stdout first. Make needed adjustments.
3956 * m4.h: Remove const in sys_errlist[] declaration, it creates
3957 conflicts on SGI and Alpha.
3958 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3960 Sat Nov 20 08:26:15 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3962 * m4.c: Include <getopt.h> instead of "getopt.h".

3965 * acconfig.h: New, for documenting HAVE_EFGCVT.
3966 * Makefile.in: Distribute acconfig.h, .stamp-h.in and config.h.in,
3967 use them wherever appropriate. Also use -I. for compilations.
3968 * lib/Makefile.in: Use -I.. for compilations.
3969 * *.c: Include <config.h> or "config.h".
3971 * m4.h: Test for HAVE_MEMORY_H instead of NEED_MEMORY_H.
3972 * configure.in: Use AC_HAVE_HEADERS(memory.h), delete AC_MEMORY_H.
3974 Wed Nov 17 09:34:55 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
3976 * builtin.c (m4_eval): Cast strlen to (int) before comparing.
3978 * input.c (input_init): Initialize quote and comment strings
3979 explicitely instead of calling set_quotes and set_comment: by
3980 doing so, we ensure we do not free uninitialized variables.
3982 * checks/check-them: Reverse arguments to both diff, so the
3983 expected is on the left and the obtained on the right.
3985 * m4.h: Add MESSAGE{,1,2}, WARNING1, FATAL{,1} and INTERNAL_ERROR
3986 macros. Delete declarations for m4error, warning, fatal and
3987 internal_error, add declaration for error_message_prefix.
3988 * m4.c: Delete m4error, warning, fatal and internal_error
3989 routines, add error_message_prefix routine.
3990 * *.c: Replace m4error routine calls with MESSAGE* macro calls,
3991 warning with WARNING*, fatal with FATAL* and internal_error with
3993 * Makefile.in (_m4.c): Do not adjust ansi2knr output for va_alist,
3994 this is not needed anymore.
3996 * m4.h: Declare extern FILE *debug. Add DEBUG_PRINT{1,3} and
3997 DEBUG_MESSAGE{,1,2} macros. Delete declarations for debug_print
3998 and debug_message, add declaration for debug_message_prefix.
3999 * debug.c: Remove static specifier for FILE *debug declaration.
4000 Delete debug_print and debug_message routines, add
4001 debug_message_prefix routine.
4002 * builtin.c, debug.c: Replace debug_print routine calls with
4003 DEBUG_PRINT* macro calls.
4004 * input.c, path.c: Replace debug_message routine calls with
4005 DEBUG_MESSAGE* macro calls.

4008 * debug.c: Include <stdarg.h> or <varargs.h>.
4009 (trace_format): Use stdarg instead of varargs if __STDC__.
4011 * configure.in: Remove checks for vfprintf and _doprnt. These
4012 implementations use varargs tricks which are not portable enough.
4013 * lib/vfprintf.c: Deleted.
4014 * lib/_doprnt.c: Deleted.
4015 * lib/Makefile.in: Adjusted accordingly. Remove LIBOBJS.
4016 Reported by Joel Sherrill.

4030 Reported by Nicolas Pioch.
4032 Fri Nov 12 10:02:26 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
4034 * Makefile.in (m4.dvi): Use m4.texinfo instead of m4.texi.
4035 Reported by Joel Sherrill.
4037 * builtin.c (prefix_all_builtins): Instead of the table size, use
4038 the null entry at end for stopping the loop. It was overwritten.
4039 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
4041 * builtin.c (prefix_all_builtins): Cast xmalloc to (char *).
4042 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
4044 * macro.c (call_macro): Add * in (*SYMBOL_FUNC (sym)) (...).

4054 Reported by Bernhard Daeubler, Eric Backus, Hal Peterson, Hoang
4055 Uong, Ian Taylor, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Tom McConnell and Walter Wong.
4057 Mon Nov 8 21:11:44 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
4059 * m4.h: Define strchr and strrchr in terms of index and rindex,
4060 instead of the other way around.
4061 * builtin.c, m4.c, path.c: Use strchr instead of index.
4063 * input.c (next_char): Remove a "break;" after a "return ...;".
4064 Reported by Tom McConnell.
4066 Mon Nov 8 12:45:34 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
4070 * configure.in: Do not copy check files in the build hierarchy.
4071 * checks/check-them: Identify the m4 version being checked. For
4072 finding m4, look in $PATH instead of in the parent directory.
4073 * Makefile.in (check): Prepend `pwd` to $PATH before checking.
4074 * checks/Makefile.in (.all-stamp): Always create check files in
4075 the source hierarchy, not anymore in the build hierarchy.
4076 (check): cd to the source hierarchy before performing checks.
4077 Do not copy nor clean COPYING anymore, take it from `..'.
4078 Reported by Tom McConnell.
4080 * Makefile.in (Makefile): Use $(SHELL).
4081 (config.status): Use $(SHELL). Use "config.status --recheck"
4082 instead of "configure --no-create", which is obsolete.
4083 Reported by Tom McConnell.
4085 Fri Nov 5 09:49:30 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@compy.IRO.UMontreal.CA)
4087 * m4.c (usage): Use "%s" instead of "m4" in format string.
4088 Reported by Jim Meyering.
4090 * Makefile.in: Distribute mkinstalldirs.
4091 Reported by Pierre Gaumond.
4092 Reported by Jim Meyering.
4093 Reported by Tom McConnell.

4097 * checks/get-them: Renamed from checks/get_them.
4098 * checks/.all-stamp: Renamed from checks/.all_stamp.
4099 * checks/Makefile.in: Changed accordingly.
4100 Reported by Jim Meyering.
4102 Thu Nov 4 13:50:52 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@lagrande.IRO.UMontreal.CA)
4104 * lib/Makefile.in (dist): Correct permissions on files.
4106 * output.c: Declare tmpfile, some systems don't.
4108 Wed Nov 3 09:09:16 1993 Francois Pinard (pinard@icule)
4110 * checks/Makefile.in (dist): Correct permissions on files.
4112 * Makefile.in (dist): Ensure recursive linking for subdirectory
4113 `examples', also set read/write permissions on all its files.
4115 * mkinstalldirs: New, from elsewhere.
4116 * Makefile.in: Use it.
4118 * debug.c: Synchronize debug messages and regular output when
4119 the debug file and stdout are redirected to the same file.
4120 * configure.in: Add (commented) checks for fileno and fstat.
4121 Reported by Jim Avera.
4123 * builtin.c (m4_ifelse): Diagnose excess arguments if 5, 8, 11,
4124 etc., arguments, then ignore the superfluous one. m4 used to
4125 diagnose missing arguments and return the empty string.
4126 Reported by Nick S. Kanakakorn.

4274 * Makefile.in (texclean, mostlyclean): New goals.
4276 * Makefile.in (clean): Remove clutter from ansi2knr.
4277 Reported by Pierre Gaumond.
4278 Reported by Greg A. Woods.
4280 Sun Dec 20 10:40:20 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4282 * Makefile.in: Remove $(CPPFLAGS) from the .c.o rule. The user

4293 Sat Dec 19 08:21:34 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4296 This is still a beta release for the future GNU m4 version 1.1.
4298 * lib/alloca.c: New, from elsewhere.
4299 * lib/Makefile.in: Distribute it. Define and use $(ALLOCA).
4301 * m4.h: Do not define index/rindex if already defined. If
4302 FALSE/TRUE are already defined, do not redefine them, but merely
4303 define boolean typedef to int.
4305 * Makefile.in: Use $(DEFS) while compiling ansi2knr.
4306 * ansi2knr.c: Rewrite #ifdef HAVE_STRING_H || STDC_HEADERS,
4307 because some C compilers do not like connectives with #ifdef.
4308 * m4.h: Define `volatile' only if __GNUC__, instead of once for
4309 __GNUC__ and once for __STDC__.
4310 * lib/regex.h: Leave const alone, AC_CONST will take care of it.
4312 * checks/Makefile.in: Use .all_stamp instead of $(CHECKS) for
4313 Makefile dependencies. Without it, make keeps destroying and
4314 remaking $(CHECKS) in a loop (why?). Distribute .all_stamp.
4316 * m4.h, m4.c, builtin.c, output.c: Change all divertion/DIVERTION
4317 to diversion/DIVERSION, this was a spelling error.
4319 * m4.c: Declare version[], remove #include "version.h".
4320 * version.h: Deleted.
4321 * Makefile.in: Remove references to version.h.
4323 * output.c (shipout_text): Centralize all `#line NUM ["FILE"]'
4324 production, by using a simpler and more robust algorithm. This
4325 solves the problem of synclines sometimes written in the middle of
4326 an output line. Delete sync_line() and output_lines variable.
4327 * m4.h: Remove sync_line prototype and output_lines declaration.
4328 * input.c (next_char), output.c (shipout_text): Remove references
4330 * input.c (push_file, pop_file): Merely put the value -1 in
4331 output_current_line instead of calling sync_line, for delaying a
4332 single `#line NUM FILE' before next output line. Do not test
4333 for sync_output, because this is unnecessary clutter.
4334 * output.c (make_divertion, insert_divertion): Idem.
4335 * input.c: Rename must_advance_line to start_of_input_line, for
4338 * debug.c (trace_header): Select a new debug line format, which
4339 better complies with GNU standards for formatting error messages.
4340 With option `-dfl', M-x next-error might be used on the output.
4341 * m4.c (vmesg): Adjust format of error output to GNU standards.
4342 * m4.texinfo: Adjust examples for `make check' to work.
4344 * m4.h, builtin.c, debug.c, input.c, macro.c, path.c: Use upper
4345 case for enum debug_info constants, which were all lower case.
4347 * builtin.c (m4_regexp, m4_patsubst): Use re_search instead of
4349 * lib/regex.[ch]: Use new version from textutils 1.3.6, with some
4350 collected patches. I tried a few times using newer regex.[ch], it
4351 mysteriously stopped aborting with this one. Insecure feeling...
4352 * lib/Makefile.in: Distribute regex.[ch].old, just in case!
4354 Fri Dec 18 11:08:03 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4356 * m4.c: Change `--no-warnings' to `--silent'.
4357 Reported by David MacKenzie.
4359 * m4.c: Put all M4OPTS code upon IMPLEMENT_M4OPTS control, and
4360 leave it off for now. See comment in m4.c for justification.
4361 Reported by David MacKenzie.
4363 * configure.in: Replace AC_USG by AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h).
4364 * m4.h, ansi2knr.c, lib/regex.h: Replace USG by HAVE_STRING_H.
4366 * Makefile.in: Add a new `info' goal. Use macro MAKEINFO.
4368 * Makefile.in: Ensure recursive cleaning is done before local
4369 cleaning for all clean goals.
4371 * builtin.c (ntoa): Ensure the value is always interpreted as a
4372 signed quantity, whatever the radix is.
4374 Wed Nov 18 07:57:19 1992 Jim Meyering (meyering@idefix)
4376 * builtin.c, format.c, input.c: Split long lines.
4377 * m4.c: Use typedef macro_definition instead of struct
4379 * symtab.c: Use typedef symbol instead of struct symbol.
4381 Tue Nov 17 01:58:40 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4383 * *.[ch]: Remove all trailing whitespace, in code and comments.
4385 * configure.in: Find some awk.
4386 * Makefile.in: Add $(AWK) to MDEFINES.
4387 * checks/Makefile.in: Transmit $(AWK) to get_them.
4388 * checks/get_them: Use $AWK instead of gawk. Add a close in the
4389 awk script when switching files, because without this, mawk runs
4390 out of file descriptors.
4392 Mon Nov 16 20:42:56 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4394 * Makefile.in (realclean): Delete m4.info*.
4395 Reported by Jim Meyering.
4397 * Makefile.in: Adjust and link with checks/Makefile.
4398 * checks/Makefile.in: New.
4399 * configure.in: Output checks/Makefile.
4401 * checks/get_them: Have the dnl header of each test more
4402 recognizable by next-error, also use a better message.
4404 Mon Nov 16 07:48:52 1992 Jim Meyering (meyering@idefix)
4406 * m4.h [__GNUC__]: Use __volatile__ instead of `volatile.'
4407 And use that only if __GNUC__ since we're using it's GCC-specific
4408 semantics that tell the compiler the associated function doesn't
4411 * builtin.c (substitute): Don't use character as an array index.
4412 (dumpdef_cmp): Make formal arguments `const void *' to avoid
4413 warnings with gcc -W -Wall on systems with qsort prototype.
4414 (m4_errprint): Cast obstack_finish to `char *' to avoid warnings
4417 * eval.c (most functions): Add parentheses to assignments used
4418 as truth values go avoid warnings from gcc -Wall.
4420 * input.c, m4.c, output.c, path.c, symtab.c: Declare static
4421 any functions that don't need external scope.
4423 * builtin.c, debug.c, format.c, m4.c, m4.h, macro.c, symtab.c
4424 (many functions and arrays): Declare `const'.
4426 Sun Nov 15 09:42:09 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4428 * *.[ch]: Rename nil to NULL, using the declaration from <stdio.h>,
4429 removing the declaration from m4.h. Also rename false to FALSE
4432 * lib/Makefile.in (Makefile): New goal.
4434 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Add a .c.o rule, so CFLAGS is not
4435 so heavily loaded. It gets more easily overridable, calling make.
4436 Reported by Jim Meyering.
4438 * Makefile.in (dist): Get .fname from the current directory name,
4439 instead of from version.h. I need updating many files manually,
4440 when the version changes, version.h is just one of them.
4442 Sat Nov 14 11:01:20 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4444 * m4.h: Remove the tag `boolean' on the enum introducing typedef
4445 `boolean'. This tag conflicts with <sys/types.h> on SVR4.
4446 Reported by Tom McConnell.
4448 Fri Nov 13 00:12:50 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4450 * m4.texinfo: Correct the examples for 33.divert, 38.divnum,
4451 39.cleardiv, which were describing missing or spurious newlines.
4452 Modify examples 52.eval, 53.esyscmd and 54.sysval so the results
4453 do not depend on machine word size, `/bin/false' implementation,
4454 or `wc' output format. `make check' is more dependable, now.
4456 * checks/check_them: Summarize the failed tests by listing their
4457 name, at end. If none, issue `All checks successful'. Output
4458 `Checking' instead of `Input file:'.
4460 * checks/get_them, checks/check_them: Reindented.
4462 * Makefile.in (dist): chmod a+r before making the tar file.
4464 Thu Nov 12 14:42:57 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4466 * builtin.c (m4_dnl): Diagnose any parameter to `dnl'.
4468 * input.c (next_token): Reinitialize token_buttom just after using
4469 it as a watermark with obstack_free. Or else, a future token, big
4470 enough for triggering reallocation of the obstack chunk, could
4471 void the initialized value of token_buttom, later causing panic in
4472 obstack_free. Rename token_buttom to token_bottom everywhere.
4474 * m4.h: Before declaring errno, first include <errno.h> and
4475 ensure that it does not define errno.
4476 Reported by Richard Stallman.
4478 Wed Nov 11 17:40:35 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4480 * builtin.c: Define and use DECLARE macro for builtins.
4482 * builtin.c (m4_ifelse): Avoid any diagnostic when exactly one
4483 argument, this is a common idiom for introducing long comments.
4485 * builtin.c (m4_ifelse): If 3n + 2 arguments, diagnose missing
4486 arguments. The last argument was silently ignored.
4488 * m4.c (cmd_error): Add a missing semicolon before va_end().
4490 Tue Nov 10 08:57:05 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4492 * Makefile.in: Now handle protoized sources. Define and use U.
4493 Compile and use ansi2knr with old compilers. Update DISTFILES.
4494 Add `aclocal.m4' to `configure' dependencies.
4495 * ansi2knr.c: New, from Ghostscript distribution.
4496 * configure.in: Define U through FP_PROTOTYPES for old compilers.
4497 Add AC_ISC_POSIX, AC_CONST, AC_SIZE_T.
4498 * aclocal.m4: New, provide FP_PROTOTYPES.
4499 * m4.h: Conditionnaly protoized through Args, save for varags.
4500 * builtin.c: Protoized. Then:
4501 Include <sys/types.h> if size_t is not defined, before "regex.h".

4503 (m4_dumpdef): Remove wrong (char *) cast calling dump_symbol.
4504 (m4_regexp): Add const to `msg' declaration.

4507 * eval.c: Protoized.
4508 * format.c: Protoized.
4509 * input.c: Protoized.
4510 * m4.c: Protoized, save for varargs. Then:
4511 (xfree): Accept void * instead of char *.
4512 (xmalloc): Return void * instead of char *.
4513 (xrealloc): Accept and return void * instead of char *.
4514 * macro.c: Protoized.
4515 * output.c: Protoized.
4516 * path.c: Protoized. Then cast some (char *) over xmalloc's.
4517 * symtab.c: Protoized.
4519 Fri Nov 6 02:05:21 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4521 * m4.texinfo: Remove directory from diagnostics in 30.include,
4522 51.eval, 56.errprint and 57.m4exit tests.
4524 * m4.h: Remove declarations for int or void system functions, they
4525 cause more conflicting trouble than they make good.
4527 * configure.in: Avoid configuration header file. Add some tests.
4528 * m4.h: Remove #include "config.h".
4529 * Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Implement Autoconf interface.
4530 Then, rewritten for better compliance with GNU standards.
4532 Thu Nov 5 12:37:13 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
4534 * format.c (format): Avoid syntax error if not HAVE_EFGCVT,
4535 because of a misplaced #endif.
4537 * Many *.[hc] files: Correct intra-line spacing here and there,
4538 according to GNU indent 1.6 advice.

4551 * version.h: De-automatize, force value in.
4553 * m4.c: Changes in order to use a newer getopt.h.
4554 Reported by David MacKenzie.

4566 * Makefile.in (check): Add m4 as dependency.
4568 * m4.c: Accept --no-warnings instead of --no_warnings, and
4569 --no-gnu-extensions instead of --no_gnu_extensions. Make the
4570 usage message more informative.
4571 Reported by David MacKenzie.

4587 Reported by Richard Stallman.
4589 * config/hmake-unicos, config/s-unicos.h: New files.
4590 Reported by Hal Peterson.
4592 * eval.c (exp_term): Have N^0 return 1.
4593 Reported by Michael Fetterman.
4595 * eval.c, input.c, m4.h: Remove last comma in enums.
4596 Reported by Mike Lijewski.

4603 reports and feedback.
4605 * Uses GNU configure, taken from the gdb distribution.
4607 * Uses GNU getopt(), with long option names.
4609 * The -Q/+quiet option is added, which suppresses warnings about
4610 missing or superflous arguments to built-in macros.
4612 * Added default options via the M4OPTS environment variable.
4614 * The built-in format can now be configured to use sprintf as
4615 the formatting engine, for systems without [efg]cvt(3).
4617 * GNU library code is moved to the ./lib subdirectory; other
4618 utility files are now in ./etc.

4625 Francois Pinard and Roland H. Pesch for providing me with reports.
4627 * The builtins incr and decr are now implemented without use of
4630 * The builtin indir is added, to allow for indirect macro calls
4631 (allows use of "illegal" macro names).
