1998-11-18 Rene' Seindal <rene@seindal.dk>
* src/input.c (set_word_regexp): Fixed a bug, where word_regexp
could be changed when compiling a illegal regexp, causing later
use of the regexp to dump core.

1998-09-06 Erick Branderhorst <Erick.Branderhorst@asml.nl>
* examples/{comments,ddivert,debug,iso8859,reverse,sysv-args,\
wrap}.test: Added a few testcases.

1998-08-20 Erick Branderhorst <Erick.Branderhorst@asml.nl>
* doc/m4.texinfo (Esyscmd): grep ../Makefile instead of
../COPYING. ../Makefile is a file which is certainly present when
test is executed in testSubDir. One can't be sure that the COPYING
file is in .. or ../.. in all situations, the ../Makefile is
always there.
* doc/m4.texinfo (Include): adjusted expected test output
according to new tests, i.e. the input will always come from the
file `in' created by the test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Added three lines at the top to get
esyscmd.1.test working.
* tests/get-them: modified to generate clearer tests who will need
less maintenance when new test examples are created in
`doc/m4.texinfo'. All tests are small (nearly stand-alone, they
need the generic file `defs') shell scripts creating `in', `ok',
`out' and when apropriate `okerr' and `err' in the directory
`testSubDir' when executed. The compare of `ok' and `out'
(and of `okerr' and `err') will be the exit status of the test.
`out' must match `ok' (and `okerr' must match `err') for the test
to be succesful.
* tests/[a-b]\{1,8\}.[0-9]+.test: This namespace is reserved for
the tests generated by tests/get-them getting it input normally
from doc/m4.texinfo. The namespace tests/[a-b]+[0-9]+.test (no `.'
(dot) before the numeric part) is reserved for all other (hand
written) tests. The `+' means one or more times.
1998-08-12 Erick Branderhorst <Erick.Branderhorst@asml.nl>

1994-10-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* src/m4.h, src/debug.c: Replace all #ifdef __STDC__ by #if
__STDC__. Alliant FX/2800 Concentrix 2.2 (i860-BSD4.3) compiler
defines __STDC__ to 0, for indicating it is *not* ANSI!
Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
* configure.in: Added obsolescent tests for AIX and Minix.

implicit rules, now that regularity makes this possible.
Have $(OBJECTS) depend on $(ANSI2KNR), so to trigger compilation
of ansi2knr whenever it is needed.
* configure.in: Adjusted for correct STACKOVF substitution.
* src/debug.c (trace_format): When not __STDC__, use (...) as a
parameter list, so ansi2knr will convert it to (va_alist) va_dcl.
Reported by David MacKenzie.

which is repeated in both goals.
1994-09-13 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* Release 1.3.
* Makefile.in: Group all *clean-recursive goals in one, using sed
to remove `-recursive' while calling make recursively. Also, use
a subshell for each recursive $(MAKE).
Reported by Jim Meyering.
* src/m4.h (memcpy): Define with bcopy for BSD systems.
Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
* src/Makefile.in (ansi2knr): Use $(LIBS) while linking, for SunOS

because *many* compilers do not accept an empty `default:'.
Reported by Akiko Matsushita, Eric Backus, John David Anglin,
Joseph E. Sacco, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Tom McConnell and Ulrich Drepper.
* configure.in: Use AC_TYPE_SIGNAL.
* src/stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Use RETSIGTYPE.
Reported by Robert Bernstein.

lib/libm4.a twice simultaneously.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
1994-07-14 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Replace "Don't" by "Do not" in
error message, for when no code possibility exists. Even if this
line is completely #ifdef'ed out, it brings a syntax error.
Reported by Andreas Schwab, Jim Meyering and Joseph E. Sacco.
* Makefile.in (install): Have install depend on all too, for lib
to be remade as needed.
* examples/stackovf.sh: Try ksh, bsh and bash for shells
providing ulimit, instead of using only ksh.
Reported by Jim Avera and Joseph E. Sacco.
1994-07-12 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* Makefile.in (check): Have it depend on all instead of m4. In
this way, a change in lib will be detected and processed.
* builtin.c (numeric_arg): Use strtol and verify the conversion,
instead of using sscanf which stops as soon as there is a
non-digit in the input. Previously, incr(1xyzzy), eval(1,2xyzzy)
and divert(1xyzzy) were all accepted without any warning or error
messages.
* m4.h: Declare strtol as long if not including stdlib.h.
* configure.in: Check for limits.h, and replace strtol if missing.

handlers), and a default error message if the fault address is not
available (when neither siginfo.h nor BSD sigcontext are supported).
* configure.in: Changes for stackovf.h: Check for sigcontext,
sigaction, sigstack, and define rlim_t as int if necessary.
* acconfig.h: Added HAVE_SIGCONTEXT and rlim_t.
* examples/stackovf.sh: Run m4 -L99999999 to allow stack overflow.
* ansi2knr.c: Fix for func-ptr args; convert "..." to varargs syntax.

Reported by Ian Taylor.
1994-07-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* configure.in: Remove dependency of USE_STACKOVF on STDC_HEADERS,
because siginfo.h is unrelated to standard headers, and siginfo.h
is already checked for.
Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.
* acconfig.h, aclocal.m4, m4.h: Replace HAVE_PROTOTYPES by
PROTOTYPES.
* aclocal.m4, configure.in: Replace AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES by
AC_PROTOTYPES.
1994-06-29 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* builtin.c (substitute): Use \& to represent this part of the
string which was matched by the whole regexp, instead of
representing the whole string. Any usage of \0 issues a warning
and acts like \&, it will disappear in some subsequent release.
1994-06-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.c: Complete prototype for forwarded declaration of usage.
* input.c (init_macro_token): Correct own reference in error
message. Previous name get_macro_func was referred to instead.
(next_char): Correct own reference in error message. Previous
name advance_input was referred to instead.
* m4.h: Declare eval_t and unsigned_eval_t typedefs to 32 bits.
* eval.c (logical_or_term, logical_and_term, or_term, xor_term,
and_term, not_term, logical_not_term, cmp_term, shift_term,
add_term, mult_term, exp_term, unary_term, simple_term): Add
prototype to forwarded declarations. Declare parameter v1 as
eval_t * instead of int *. Same for local variable v2 in dyadic
functions. Same for result in exp_term.
* builtin.c (m4_eval): Declare value as eval_t instead of int.
(ntoa): Declare value as eval_t instead of int. Declare uvalue as
unsigned_eval_t instead of unsigned int. Change casts accordingly.

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

stamp-h does not exist yet. This avoids running it a second time
just after the initial ./configure.
Reported by David MacKenzie and Tom McConnell.
* m4.h: Replace the enum debug_info declaration with a series of
#define's. The Ultrix 3.1 compiler would otherwise need casting
(int) to most references, when used in expressions.
Reported by Tom McConnell.
1994-06-25 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* aclocal.m4: Replace FP_PROTOTYPES by AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES,
following an idea from Brook G. Milligan. AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES
calls the compiler. Previously, FP_PROTOTYPES was only calling
the preprocessor; by not being subject to CFLAGS, this was
discouraging those flags asking for ANSI compilation.
* acconfig.h: Document HAVE_PROTOTYPES.
* configure.in: Use AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES instead of FP_PROTOTYPES.
* m4.h: Define _() according to HAVE_PROTOTYPES, not __STDC__.
Reported by Eric Backus.

* m4.h: Declare prototypes for error (for ANSI compilers only),
prefix_all_builtins and reference_error.
Reported by Tom McConnell.
* input.c (set_word_regexp): Do not try to initialize the array
test from a string, this does not work with non-ANSI compilers.
Reported by Eric Backus.
* Makefile.in (dist): Clean examples/ before saving it.
(distclean-local): Also remove stamp-h.
Reported by Eric Backus.
* Makefile.in (_stackovf.c): Goal for compiling stacokovf.c with
non ANSI compilers.
Reported by Tom McConnell.
* checks/Makefile.in (clean): Depends on mostlyclean.
(mostlyclean): New goal.
1994-06-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Distribute install.sh.
* install.sh: New file, copied from elsewhere.
Reported by Assar Westerlund and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
1994-06-23 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* configure.in: Define ENABLE_CHANGEWORD if --enable-changeword.
* acconfig.h: Explain ENABLE_CHANGEWORD.
[These modifs all depend upon ENABLE_CHANGEWORD and are adapted
from code provided by Pete Chown]
* m4.h: Add original_text field to u_t variant of union u.
Declare TOKEN_DATA_FUNC macro.
* builtin.c: Declare changeword.
(m4_changeword): New function.

default_word_regexp is true. Else, match using a new code. Save
the original text.
* macro.c (expand_token): Ship out original text if not a macro
name.
Reported by Krste Asanovic and Pete Chown.
[These modifs all depend upon ENABLE_CHANGEWORD]
* m4.h: Declare external user_word_regexp.
* m4.c: Declare user_word_regexp, and initialize it from
--word-regexp or -W, or NULL if not specified.
* input.c: Use user_word_regexp if specified, instead of
DEFAULT_WORD_REGEXP.
* Makefile.in (m4): Revert Jan 3 1994 change. I'm unable to
agree with it.
* Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Limit suffixes to .c and .o.
* checks/Makefile.in: Empty the suffix list.
Reported by Geoff Russell, Joel Sherrill and Roland McGrath.
* m4.c: Declare nesting_limit and initialize it to 250.
Implement -LNUMBER or --nesting-limit=NUMBER to change its
value.
* m4.h: Declare nesting_limit as external.
* macro.c (expand_macro): Stop execution whenever nesting limit
is exceeded.
Reported by Bengt Mertensson.
* eval.c (evaluate): Diagnose excess characters in eval input.
Things like `eval(08)' used to return 0 with no diagnostic.
* m4.h: Capitalize first letter of all macro arguments in
definitions.
* m4.c: Declare warning_status, initialize it to 0. Add new
option -E, or --fatal-warnings, which sets warning_status to
EXIT_FAILURE instead.
* m4.h: Declare external warning_status. Define EXIT_SUCCESS and
EXIT_FAILURE if not otherwise done by header files.
* m4.c: Delete declarations for EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE.
* m4.c, input.c, output.c, symtab.c, builtin.c, macro.c, debug.c,

argument of all M4ERROR calls.
Reported by Noah Friedman.
* examples/incl-test.m4: Renamed from incl_test.m4.
* examples/include.m4: Include incl-test.m4 instead of
incl_test.m4.
* examples/multiquotes.m4: Renamed from multi-quotes.m.
1994-06-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* configure.in: Avoid USE_STACKOVF if <siginfo.h> not found. Note
that Jim developped stackovf.c on a 486 running SVR4.0 (ESIX), and
also tested it on a Sun Sparc workstation running SunOS 4.x.
* format.c (format): When not HAVE_EFGCVT, m4 was failing the
49.format check, abusing a `union values' argument with sprintf
without selecting the proper field. Now, save the formatting type
first, delaying the fetch of the corresponding argument.
Reported by Joseph E. Sacco and Tom Quinn.
* format.c (format): Remove const from char *fmt declaration when
not HAVE_EFGCVT, because a NUL may be forced into it.
* m4.h: Declare atof() when not STDC_HEADERS.
Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.
* Regenerate configure using Autoconf 1.11, this corrects a
problem about an incorrect cpp seting on NeXT 3.1.
Reported by Alexander Lehmann.
1994-06-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.h (_): Change argument from `x' to `Args'.
1994-04-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

1994-04-22 Jim Avera <jima@netcom.com>
* stackovf.c: New file implementing stack-overflow detection.
* configure.in: Check for getrlimit, sigaction. If all of
standard headers, getrlimit and sigaction, define USE_STACKOVF and
substitute ${U}stackovf.o for STACKOVF.

* Makefile.in: Distribute stackovf.c, link with $(STACKOVF).
* m4.h: Declare setup_stackovf_trap().

1994-04-13 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* checks/Makefile.in: Rename .all-stamp to stamp-checks.
* Makefile.in (Makefile, etc.): Adapt for Autoconf 1.8.
1994-01-30 <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.h: Remove definition of volatile, not used anymore.
Reported by Jim Meyering and Joseph E. Sacco.
* m4.h: Consistently use `do { ... } while (0)' in macros, instead
of `if ... else /* nothing */' for if macros.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
* builtin.c (m4_regexp): Reorganize the code for avoiding a
warning from gcc about `repl' possibly used before defined.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
* m4.h: Avoid a pre-ANSI <memory.h> together with <string.h>.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
1994-01-25 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.h: Move the conditional definition of volatile after the
inclusion of system files, because they may define it first.
1994-01-04 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* checks/Makefile.in (CHECKS): Add a useless `*' before `[', to
get around a problem with Alpha make seeing a syntax error, there.
Reported by Vern Paxson.

1993-12-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.c: Initialize show_help and show_version to zero.
* m4.c: Ensure EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE are defined.
Use them in exit() and usage() calls.
1993-11-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.h: Delete extern sys_nerr, sys_errlist declarations, and
syserr() macro. Delete errref, add reference_error and M4ERROR.
* m4.c: Replace errref, which was returning an input reference
string, with reference_error, which prints it on standard error.
* builtin.c, output.c: Use errno as second parameter to error,
instead of using syserr() with %s.
* *.c: Use M4ERROR instead of error: no more errref() with %s.
Doing so, the program name appears after the input reference
instead of before, which eases M-x next-error processing.
1993-11-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* checks/get-them: Escape braces with backslashes in patterns,
because HPUX-9.01 awk needs this.

* builtin.c: Declare "FILE *popen ();".
* m4.h: Remove MESSAGE{,1,2}, WARNING1, FATAL{,1}, INTERNAL_ERROR
macros, replace error_message_prefix() declaration by errref()'s.
Declare xrealloc, for use in errref().
* m4.c: Delete error_message_prefix() function, add errref().
* *.c: Use error() systematically in place of all error macros,
now that error() flushes stdout first. Make needed adjustments.
* m4.h: Remove const in sys_errlist[] declaration, it creates
conflicts on SGI and Alpha.
Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
1993-11-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.c: Include <getopt.h> instead of "getopt.h".
* configure.in: Output to config.h. Use HAVE_FUNCS preferably.

* builtin.c (m4_eval): Cast strlen to (int) before comparing.
* input.c (input_init): Initialize quote and comment strings
explicitely instead of calling set_quotes and set_comment: by

expected is on the left and the obtained on the right.
* m4.h: Add MESSAGE{,1,2}, WARNING1, FATAL{,1} and INTERNAL_ERROR

Reported by Tom McConnell.
1993-11-08 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* Release 1.1
* configure.in: Do not copy check files in the build hierarchy.

finding m4, look in $PATH instead of in the parent directory.
* Makefile.in (check): Prepend `pwd` to $PATH before checking.
* checks/Makefile.in (.all-stamp): Always create check files in
the source hierarchy, not anymore in the build hierarchy.
(check): cd to the source hierarchy before performing checks.
Do not copy nor clean COPYING anymore, take it from `..'.

1992-12-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* Release 1.0.3
This is still a beta release for the future GNU m4 version 1.1.
* lib/alloca.c: New, from elsewhere.
* lib/Makefile.in: Distribute it. Define and use $(ALLOCA).
* m4.h: Do not define index/rindex if already defined. If
FALSE/TRUE are already defined, do not redefine them, but merely
define boolean typedef to int.
* Makefile.in: Use $(DEFS) while compiling ansi2knr.
* ansi2knr.c: Rewrite #ifdef HAVE_STRING_H || STDC_HEADERS,
because some C compilers do not like connectives with #ifdef.
* m4.h: Define `volatile' only if __GNUC__, instead of once for
__GNUC__ and once for __STDC__.
* lib/regex.h: Leave const alone, AC_CONST will take care of it.
* checks/Makefile.in: Use .all_stamp instead of $(CHECKS) for
Makefile dependencies. Without it, make keeps destroying and
remaking $(CHECKS) in a loop (why?). Distribute .all_stamp.
* m4.h, m4.c, builtin.c, output.c: Change all divertion/DIVERTION
to diversion/DIVERSION, this was a spelling error.
* m4.c: Declare version[], remove #include "version.h".
* version.h: Deleted.
* Makefile.in: Remove references to version.h.
* output.c (shipout_text): Centralize all `#line NUM ["FILE"]'
production, by using a simpler and more robust algorithm. This
solves the problem of synclines sometimes written in the middle of
an output line. Delete sync_line() and output_lines variable.
* m4.h: Remove sync_line prototype and output_lines declaration.
* input.c (next_char), output.c (shipout_text): Remove references
to output_lines.
* input.c (push_file, pop_file): Merely put the value -1 in
output_current_line instead of calling sync_line, for delaying a
single `#line NUM FILE' before next output line. Do not test
for sync_output, because this is unnecessary clutter.
* output.c (make_divertion, insert_divertion): Idem.
* input.c: Rename must_advance_line to start_of_input_line, for
consistency.
* debug.c (trace_header): Select a new debug line format, which
better complies with GNU standards for formatting error messages.
With option `-dfl', M-x next-error might be used on the output.
* m4.c (vmesg): Adjust format of error output to GNU standards.
* m4.texinfo: Adjust examples for `make check' to work.
* m4.h, builtin.c, debug.c, input.c, macro.c, path.c: Use upper
case for enum debug_info constants, which were all lower case.
* builtin.c (m4_regexp, m4_patsubst): Use re_search instead of
re_search_2.
* lib/regex.[ch]: Use new version from textutils 1.3.6, with some
collected patches. I tried a few times using newer regex.[ch], it
mysteriously stopped aborting with this one. Insecure feeling...
* lib/Makefile.in: Distribute regex.[ch].old, just in case!
1992-12-18 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.c: Change `--no-warnings' to `--silent'.
Reported by David MacKenzie.
* m4.c: Put all M4OPTS code upon IMPLEMENT_M4OPTS control, and
leave it off for now. See comment in m4.c for justification.
Reported by David MacKenzie.
* configure.in: Replace AC_USG by AC_HAVE_HEADERS(string.h).
* m4.h, ansi2knr.c, lib/regex.h: Replace USG by HAVE_STRING_H.
* Makefile.in: Add a new `info' goal. Use macro MAKEINFO.
* Makefile.in: Ensure recursive cleaning is done before local
cleaning for all clean goals.
* builtin.c (ntoa): Ensure the value is always interpreted as a
signed quantity, whatever the radix is.
1992-11-18 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.
1992-11-17 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* *.[ch]: Remove all trailing whitespace, in code and comments.
* configure.in: Find some awk.
* Makefile.in: Add $(AWK) to MDEFINES.
* checks/Makefile.in: Transmit $(AWK) to get_them.
* checks/get_them: Use $AWK instead of gawk. Add a close in the
awk script when switching files, because without this, mawk runs
out of file descriptors.
1992-11-16 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* Makefile.in (realclean): Delete m4.info*.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
* Makefile.in: Adjust and link with checks/Makefile.
* checks/Makefile.in: New.
* configure.in: Output checks/Makefile.
* checks/get_them: Have the dnl header of each test more
recognizable by next-error, also use a better message.
1992-11-16 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'.
1992-11-15 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* *.[ch]: Rename nil to NULL, using the declaration from <stdio.h>,
removing the declaration from m4.h. Also rename false to FALSE
and true to TRUE.
* lib/Makefile.in (Makefile): New goal.
* Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in: Add a .c.o rule, so CFLAGS is not
so heavily loaded. It gets more easily overridable, calling make.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
* Makefile.in (dist): Get .fname from the current directory name,
instead of from version.h. I need updating many files manually,
when the version changes, version.h is just one of them.
1992-11-14 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* m4.h: Remove the tag `boolean' on the enum introducing typedef
`boolean'. This tag conflicts with <sys/types.h> on SVR4.
Reported by Tom McConnell.
1992-11-13 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* 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.
1992-11-12 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* builtin.c (m4_dnl): Diagnose any parameter to `dnl'.
* input.c (next_token): Reinitialize token_buttom just after using
it as a watermark with obstack_free. Or else, a future token, big
enough for triggering reallocation of the obstack chunk, could
void the initialized value of token_buttom, later causing panic in
obstack_free. Rename token_buttom to token_bottom everywhere.
* m4.h: Before declaring errno, first include <errno.h> and
ensure that it does not define errno.
Reported by Richard Stallman.
1992-11-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* 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().
1992-11-10 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* 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.

(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.
1992-11-06 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* 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.
1992-11-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
* 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.
* 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/*.
Reported by Jason Merrill.
