Sat Dec 19 08:21:34 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* Version 1.0.3 released to <prep.ai.mit.edu>. This is still a
beta release for the future GNU m4 version 1.1.
* lib/alloca.c: New, from elsewhere.
* lib/Makefile.in: Distribute it. Define and use $(ALLOCA).
* m4.h: Do not define index/rindex if already defined. If
FALSE/TRUE are already defined, do not redefine them, but merely
define boolean typedef to int.
* Makefile.in: Use $(DEFS) while compiling ansi2knr.
* ansi2knr.c: Rewrite #ifdef HAVE_STRING_H || STDC_HEADERS,
because some C compilers do not like connectives with #ifdef.
* m4.h: Define `volatile' only if __GNUC__, instead of once for
__GNUC__ and once for __STDC__.
* lib/regex.h: Leave const alone, AC_CONST will take care of it.
* checks/Makefile.in: Use .all_stamp instead of $(CHECKS) for
Makefile dependencies. Without it, make keeps destroying and
remaking $(CHECKS) in a loop (why?). Distribute .all_stamp.
* m4.h, m4.c, builtin.c, output.c: Change all divertion/DIVERTION
to diversion/DIVERSION, this was a spelling error.
* m4.c: Declare version[], remove #include "version.h".
* version.h: Deleted.
* Makefile.in: Remove references to version.h.
* output.c (shipout_text): Centralize all `#line NUM ["FILE"]'
production, by using a simpler and more robust algorithm. This
solves the problem of synclines sometimes written in the middle of
an output line. Delete sync_line() and output_lines variable.
* m4.h: Remove sync_line prototype and output_lines declaration.
* input.c (next_char), output.c (shipout_text): Remove references
to output_lines.
* input.c (push_file, pop_file): Merely put the value -1 in
output_current_line instead of calling sync_line, for delaying a
single `#line NUM FILE' before next output line. Do not test
for sync_output, because this is unnecessary clutter.
* output.c (make_divertion, insert_divertion): Idem.
* input.c: Rename must_advance_line to start_of_input_line, for
consistency.
* debug.c (trace_header): Select a new debug line format, which
better complies with GNU standards for formatting error messages.
With option `-dfl', M-x next-error might be used on the output.
* m4.c (vmesg): Adjust format of error output to GNU standards.
* m4.texinfo: Adjust examples for `make check' to work.
* m4.h, builtin.c, debug.c, input.c, macro.c, path.c: Use upper
case for enum debug_info constants, which were all lower case.
* builtin.c (m4_regexp, m4_patsubst): Use re_search instead of
re_search_2.
* lib/regex.[ch]: Use new version from textutils 1.3.6, with some
collected patches. I tried a few times using newer regex.[ch], it
mysteriously stopped aborting with this one. Insecure feeling...
* lib/Makefile.in: Distribute regex.[ch].old, just in case!
Fri Dec 18 11:08:03 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
From David MacKenzie <djm@eng.umd.edu>:
* m4.c: Change `--no-warnings' to `--silent'.
From David MacKenzie <djm@eng.umd.edu>:
* m4.c: Put all M4OPTS code upon IMPLEMENT_M4OPTS control, and
leave it off for now. See comment in m4.c for justification.
* configure.in: Replace AC_USG by AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h).
* m4.h, ansi2knr.c, lib/regex.h: Replace USG by HAVE_STRING_H.
* Makefile.in: Add a new `info' goal. Use macro MAKEINFO.
* Makefile.in: Ensure recursive cleaning is done before local
cleaning for all clean goals.
* builtin.c (ntoa): Ensure the value is always interpreted as a
signed quantity, whatever the radix is.
Wed Nov 18 07:57:19 1992 Jim Meyering (meyering@idefix)
* builtin.c, format.c, input.c: Split long lines.
* m4.c: Use typedef macro_definition instead of struct
macro_definition.
* symtab.c: Use typedef symbol instead of struct symbol.
Tue Nov 17 01:58:40 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* all: Remove all trailing whitespace, in code and comments.
* configure.in: Find some awk.
* Makefile.in: Add $(AWK) to MDEFINES.
* checks/Makefile.in: Transmit $(AWK) to get_them.
* checks/get_them: Use $AWK instead of gawk. Add a close in the
awk script when switching files, because without this, mawk runs
out of file descriptors.
Mon Nov 16 20:42:56 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
From Jim Meyering <meyering@cs.utexas.edu>:
* Makefile.in (realclean): Delete m4.info*.
* Makefile.in: Adjust and link with checks/Makefile.
* checks/Makefile.in: New.
* configure.in: Output checks/Makefile.
* checks/get_them: Have the dnl header of each test more
recognizable by next-error, also use a better message.
Mon Nov 16 07:48:52 1992 Jim Meyering (meyering@idefix)
* m4.h [__GNUC__]: Use __volatile__ instead of `volatile.'
And use that only if __GNUC__ since we're using it's GCC-specific
semantics that tell the compiler the associated function doesn't
return.
* builtin.c (substitute): Don't use character as an array index.
(dumpdef_cmp): Make formal arguments `const void *' to avoid
warnings with gcc -W -Wall on systems with qsort prototype.
(m4_errprint): Cast obstack_finish to `char *' to avoid warnings
from gcc -W -Wall.
* eval.c (most functions): Add parentheses to assignments used
as truth values go avoid warnings from gcc -Wall.
* input.c, m4.c, output.c, path.c, symtab.c: Declare static
any functions that don't need external scope.
* builtin.c, debug.c, format.c, m4.c, m4.h, macro.c, symtab.c
(many functions and arrays): Declare `const.'
Sun Nov 15 09:42:09 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* all: Rename nil to NULL, using the declaration from <stdio.h>,
removing the declaration from m4.h. Also rename false to FALSE
and true to TRUE.
* lib/Makefile.in (Makefile): New goal.
From Jim Meyering <meyering@cs.utexas.edu>:
* Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Add a .c.o rule, so CFLAGS is not
so heavily loaded. It gets more easily overridable, calling make.
* Makefile.in (dist): Get .fname from the current directory name,
instead of from version.h. I need updating many files manually,
when the version changes, version.h is just one of them.
Sat Nov 14 11:01:20 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
From Tom McConnell <tmcconne@sedona.intel.com>:
* m4.h: Remove the tag `boolean' on the enum introducing typedef
`boolean'. This tag conflicts with <sys/types.h> on SVR4.
Fri Nov 13 00:12:50 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* m4.texinfo: Correct the examples for 33.divert, 38.divnum,
39.cleardiv, which were describing missing or spurious newlines.
Modify examples 52.eval, 53.esyscmd and 54.sysval so the results
do not depend on machine word size, `/bin/false' implementation,
or `wc' output format. `make check' is more dependable, now.
* checks/check_them: Summarize the failed tests by listing their
name, at end. If none, issue `All checks successful'. Output
`Checking' instead of `Input file:'.
* checks/get_them, checks/check_them: Reindented.
* Makefile.in (dist): chmod a+r before making the tar file.
Thu Nov 12 14:42:57 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* builtin.c (m4_dnl): Diagnose any parameter to `dnl'.
* input.c (next_token): Reinitialize token_buttom just after using
it as a watermark with obstack_free. Or else, a future token, big
enough for triggering reallocation of the obstack chunk, could
void the initialized value of token_buttom, later causing panic in
obstack_free. Rename token_buttom to token_bottom everywhere.
From Richard Stallman <rms@prep.ai.mit.edu>:
* m4.h: Before declaring errno, first include <errno.h> and
ensure that it does not define errno.
Wed Nov 11 17:40:35 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* builtin.c: Define and use DECLARE macro for builtins.
* builtin.c (m4_ifelse): Avoid any diagnostic when exactly one
argument, this is a common idiom for introducing long comments.
* builtin.c (m4_ifelse): If 3n + 2 arguments, diagnose missing
arguments. The last argument was silently ignored.
* m4.c (cmd_error): Add a missing semicolon before va_end().
Tue Nov 10 08:57:05 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* Makefile.in: Now handle protoized sources. Define and use U.
Compile and use ansi2knr with old compilers. Update DISTFILES.
Add `aclocal.m4' to `configure' dependencies.
* ansi2knr.c: New, from Ghostscript distribution.
* configure.in: Define U through FP_PROTOTYPES for old compilers.
Add AC_ISC_POSIX, AC_CONST, AC_SIZE_T.
* aclocal.m4: New, provide FP_PROTOTYPES.
* m4.h: Conditionnaly protoized through Args, save for varags.
* builtin.c: Protoized. Then:
Include <sys/types.h> if size_t is not defined, before "regex.h".
(m4_ifelse): Fetch built-in name properly for diagnostic.
(m4_dumpdef): Remove wrong (char *) cast calling dump_symbol.
(m4_regexp): Add const to `msg' declaration.
(m4_patsubst): Add const to `msg' declaration.
* debug.c: Protoized, save for varargs.
* eval.c: Protoized.
* format.c: Protoized.
* input.c: Protoized.
* m4.c: Protoized, save for varargs. Then:
(xfree): Accept void * instead of char *.
(xmalloc): Return void * instead of char *.
(xrealloc): Accept and return void * instead of char *.
* macro.c: Protoized.
* output.c: Protoized.
* path.c: Protoized. Then cast some (char *) over xmalloc's.
* symtab.c: Protoized.
Fri Nov 6 02:05:21 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* m4.texinfo: Remove directory from diagnostics in 30.include,
51.eval, 56.errprint and 57.m4exit tests.
* m4.h: Remove declarations for int or void system functions, they
cause more conflicting trouble than they make good.
* configure.in: Avoid configuration header file. Add some tests.
* m4.h: Remove #include "config.h".
* Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Implement Autoconf interface.
Then, rewritten for better compliance with GNU standards.
Thu Nov 5 12:37:13 1992 Francois Pinard (pinard at icule)
* format.c (format): Avoid syntax error if not HAVE_EFGCVT,
because of a misplaced #endif.
* Many *.[hc] files: Correct intra-line spacing here and there,
according to GNU indent 1.6 advice.
From Jason Merrill <jason@jarthur.claremont.edu>:
* configure.in: New, using Autoconf 1.2.
* m4.h: Reverse NO_MEMORY_H to NEED_MEMORY_H.
* Delete old configure.in, configure, etc/configure.in,
etc/configure, lib/configure.in, lib/configure and config/*.
From Jason Merrill <jason@jarthur.claremont.edu>:
* symtab.c (hash): Change (char) NULL to '\0'.
* Delete .vers, etc/newdist.sh, etc/newvers.sh and
etc/nextvers.sh. Version numbers will be edited `by hand'.
* version.h: De-automatize, force value in.

Thu Oct 24 15:18:46 1991 Rene' Seindal (seindal at diku.dk)
* Version 1.0. Many thanks to those, who provided me with bug
reports and feedback.
* Uses GNU configure, taken from the gdb distribution.
* Uses GNU getopt(), with long option names.
* The -Q/+quiet option is added, which suppresses warnings about
missing or superflous arguments to built-in macros.
* Added default options via the M4OPTS environment variable.
* The built-in format can now be configured to use sprintf as
the formatting engine, for systems without [efg]cvt(3).
* GNU library code is moved to the ./lib subdirectory; other
utility files are now in ./etc.
* Several minor bugs have been fixed.
Fri Jul 26 15:28:42 1991 Rene' Seindal (seindal at diku.dk)
* Fixed various bugs. Version 0.99, manual 0.09. Many thanks to
Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca> and Roland H. Pesch
<pesh@cygnus.com> for providing me with reports.
* The builtins incr and decr are now implemented without use of
eval.
* The builtin indir is added, to allow for indirect macro calls
(allows use of "illegal" macro names).
* The debugging and tracing facilities has been enhanced
considerably. See the manual for details.
* The -tMACRO option is added, marks MACRO for tracing as soon
as it is defined.
* Builtins are traced after renaming iff they were before.
* Named files can now be undiverted.
* The -Nnum option can be used to increase the number of
divertions available.
