2008-06-18  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Revert speed regression from previous patch.
	* src/builtin.c (shipout_int, m4_eval): Avoid obstack_printf in
	hot paths.
	* src/input.c (MATCH): Use fewer conditionals, and factor
	adjustment of S...

	Stage 18: try harder to reuse argv in recursion.
	When pushing arguments that contain an existing $@ ref, reuse the
	ref rather than creating another layer of wrappers.
	Memory impact: noticeable improvement, due to better $@ reuse.
	Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due to O(n^2) to O(n)
	reduction in unboxed recursion.

2008-02-22  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 17: pass argv through quoted strings.
	Allow the concatenation of $@ references with other text input
	inside quoted contexts, which requires distinguishing between a
	wrapper around many arguments vs. a reference serving as part of a
	single argument.  Also optimize based on whether argv contains
	builtin tokens that might need flattening to the empty string.
	Memory impact: noticeable improvement, due to O(n^2) to O(n)
	reduction from total reuse of $@ references.
	Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due to O(n^2) to O(n)
	reduction in boxed recursion.
	* src/input.c (append_quote_token): Allow an argv ref inside

	(arg_token, arg_mark, arg_type): Use new fields.

2008-02-21  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 16: cache quotes and improve arg_print.
	Cache rather than always copying quotes when pushing $@ refs; in
	particular, reconstruct single-byte quotes on the fly.  Allow NUL
	through m4wrap.  Improve sharing of code that prints arguments.
	Memory impact: slight improvement, due to cached quotes.
	Speed impact: slight improvement, due to less copying.
	* src/m4.h (push_wrapup_init, push_wrapup_finish, quote_cache)
	(func_print): New prototypes.

	(Improved foreach): Adjust dump from file.

	Stage 15: return argv refs back to collect_arguments.
	Collect an entire $@ reference at once rather than one argument at
	a time, outside of quotes (but inside quotes, $@ is still
	flattened for now).  The skip_last field allows concatenation of
	$@ with other text when collecting arguments.
	Memory impact: noticeable improvement, due to better reuse of $@.
	Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due to less parsing.
	* src/m4.h (enum token_type): Add TOKEN_ARGV.
	(struct token_chain): Add skip_last member to argv link.
	(next_token): Update prototype.

	* m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import the strtod module.

2008-02-02  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 14: allow pushing argv references.
	Push a $@ reference to the input engine in one go, rather than
	pushing each element.  For now, argument collection still gets one
	argument of a $@ at a time; but the penalties of this patch make
	it easier to manage $@ efficiently in future patches.
	Memory impact: noticeable penalty, due to larger struct and O(n)
	to O(n^2) on unboxed recursion.
	Speed impact: noticeable penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
	* src/m4.h (struct token_chain): Add comma and quotes fields.
	(arg_adjust_refcount, arg_print, push_arg_quote): New prototypes.

2008-01-27  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 13: push composite text tokens.
	Support pushing composite tokens, allowing back-references to be
	reused through multiple macro expansions.  Add hueristic that
	avoids creating new reference when pushing existing references.
	Memory impact: noticeable improvement due to better reference
	reuse, except for O(n) to O(n^2) copying in boxed recursion.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
	* src/m4.h (push_token): Adjust prototype.
	* src/input.c (push_token): Add parameter, and handle composite

	Stage 12: make token_chain a union, add string_pair.
	Shrink size of symbol chains by using a union.  Make passing quote
	delimiters around more efficient.  Other code cleanups.
	Memory impact: slight improvement, due to smaller struct.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
	* src/m4.h (STRING): Delete typedef.
	(struct string_pair, enum token_chain_type): New types.
	(struct token_chain): Reduce size via a union.
	(ARG_LEN): New macro.

2008-01-22  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 11: full circle for single argument references.
	Pass quoted strings through to argument collection in a single
	action, so that an argument can be reused throughout macro
	recursion if it remains unchanged.
	Memory impact: noticeable improvement, due to more reuse in
	argument collection stacks; O(n^2) to O(n) on boxed recursion.
	Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due to less copying.
	* src/m4.h (struct token_chain): Add quote_age member.
	(struct token_data): Add end member to chain alternate.
	(make_text_link): New prototype.
	* src/input.c (CHAR_QUOTE): New macro.
	(word_start): Pre-allocate.
	(set_word_regexp): Simplify.
	(make_text_link): Export, and handle new fields.
	(next_char, next_char_1): Add parameter.
	(append_quote_token): New function.
	(match_input, next_token): Adjust callers to handle quoted input
	blocks.
	* src/macro.c (struct macro_arguments): Add wrapper member.

	(collect_arguments, arg_token, arg_mark, make_argv_ref): Update to
	use new fields.
	(arg_type, arg_text, arg_equal, arg_len): Treat composite
	arguments as text.
	(push_arg, push_args): Handle composites.

2008-01-17  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 10: avoid extra copying of strings and comments.
	When collecting tokens that are immune to further expansion, avoid
	copying data from one obstack to another by outputting it into the
	destination obstack to begin with.  Also reduce copying done in
	format builtin.
	Memory impact: slight improvement, due to better obstack usage.
	Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due less data copying.
	* m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import the intprops and vasnprintf-posix
	modules.
	* src/m4.h (includes): Use new gnulib modules.
	(next_token): Adjust prototype.
	(bad_argc): New prototype.
	* src/format.c (arg_int, arg_long, arg_double): New helper
	functions.
	(ARG_INT, ARG_LONG, ARG_STR, ARG_DOUBLE): Track missing
	arguments.
	(format): Improve warnings, and avoid copying into obstack in the
	common case.
	* src/input.c (next_token): Add new parameter.

	* NEWS: Update year.  Mention effect of my recent memmem
	contributions to gnulib.

2007-12-21  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 9: share rather than copy single-arg refs.
	Use hooks of previous patch to create back-references to arguments
	in the input engine, and inline short text rather than always
	creating a FIFO link.  Also start testing embedded NUL behavior.
	Until the argument collection engine also shares references, the
	memory usage increases.
	Memory impact: noticeable penalty, due to longer life of argv
	changing O(n) to O(n^2) on boxed recursion.
	Speed impact: slight improvement, due less data copying.
	* m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import quote and memmem modules.
	* src/m4.h (arg_scratch): New prototype.
	* src/input.c (INPUT_INLINE_THRESHOLD): New define.
	(push_token): Use it to inline short text, and save references to
	longer text.

	* src/macro.c (expand_argument): Likewise.
	(expand_macro): Track scratch space.
	(arg_scratch): New function.
	(make_argv_ref): Use it.
	(push_args): Likewise, and simplify comma handling, since most
	separators are short enough to be inlined.
	* src/builtin.c (builtin_init): Avoid cast.
	(m4_errprint, m4_index): Transparently support NUL.
	(m4_translit): Use scratch space, rather than leaking memory on
	expansion stack.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Syntax): Add new test of embedded NUL.
	* checks/get-them: Extract test that uses external files.
	* checks/check-them: Run the new test.  Use unified diff if
	possible, and force text mode when debugging NUL handling.
	* examples/null.m4: New file.
	* examples/null.out: Likewise.
	* examples/null.err: Likewise.
	* examples/Makefile.am (EXTRA_FILES): Distribute these files.
	* .gitattributes: Treat new files as text, in spite of embedded
	NUL.

2007-12-18  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 8: extend life of references into argv.
	Add hooks to lengthen the lifetime of arguments reused in a macro
	expansion, rather than always discarding arguments at the end of
	expand_macro.  Rework the expand_macro obstacks to handle longer
	lifetimes.  For now, the hooks remain unused.
	Memory impact: slight penalty, due to larger structs.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
	* src/m4.h (obstack_regrow): Delete, now that it is unused.
	(struct token_chain): Add level field.
	(push_token): Adjust prototype.
	(adjust_refcount): New prototype.
	* src/macro.c [DEBUG_MACRO]: Add debugging hooks for $@ reference
	counting.

	(struct macro_arg_stacks, stacks, stacks_count): ...these new
	structure for tracking $@ references.
	(expand_input): Initialize new structure.
	(collect_arguments): Alter signature.
	(expand_macro): Rework obstack handling, in order to keep $@
	references alive until they have been rescanned.
	(adjust_refcount, arg_mark): New functions.
	(make_argv_ref): Use new field.
	(push_arg, push_args): Update callers.
	* src/input.c (make_text_link): Use new field.
	(push_token): Change signature.
	(pop_input, next_char_1): Call new function.
	* doc/m4.texinfo: Clean up some examples of -d option usage.
	(Ifelse): Add some stress tests.

2007-12-13  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Yet more rewording.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Inhibiting Invocation): Missed one instance in

	example.
	Reported by Giovanni Toffetti.

2007-12-11  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 7: add chained token support to input parser.
	Allow the LIFO input engine to rescan a macro expansion composed
	of smaller chunks of FIFO data, rather than the old approach of a
	monolithic string.  For now, all chunks are still copied.
	Memory impact: slight penalty, due to FIFO chain overhead.
	Speed impact: noticeable penalty, due to extra bookkeeping.
	* src/m4.h (struct token_chain): Add const safety.
	(push_token): New prototype.
	* src/input.c (INPUT_CHAIN): New enumerator.
	(struct input_block): Add new input type u_c, and change u_s to
	length-based processing.
	(make_text_link): New helper function.
	(push_token): New function.
	(push_string_finish): Use it.
	(pop_input, input_print, peek_input, next_char, next_char_1):
	Adjust to handle new input type.
	* src/macro.c (push_arg, push_args): Use new function.

2007-12-10  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 6: convert builtins to push arg at a time.
	Add new methods to factor all builtins whose expansion includes an
	argument, making back-reference creation easier in future patches.
	Factor out length-limited printing to obstacks, and use -1 rather
	than 0 for unlimited length.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: slight improvement, due to better code sharing.
	* src/m4.h (includes): Include <limits.h> here, instead of in
	individual files.
	(input_block): New typedef.
	(trace_pre, trace_post, push_string_finish): Update prototypes.
	(obstack_print, input_print, push_arg, push_args): New

	(obstack_print): New function.
	* src/macro.c (expand_macro): Update caller.
	(push_arg, push_args): New functions.
	* src/builtin.c (m4_ifdef, m4_ifelse, m4_shift, m4_substr)

2007-12-07  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Minor security fix: Quote output of mkstemp.
	* src/builtin.c (mkstemp_helper): Produce quoted output.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Mkstemp): Update the documentation and tests.
	* NEWS: Document this change.

	Stage 5: add notion of quote age.
	Cache the quoting rules that were in effect when a string was
	parsed, to avoid reparsing that string if no changequote or other
	quote age change took place in the meantime.  A quote_age of 0 is
	always safe, but does not benefit from caching.
	Memory impact: slight penalty, due to larger struct.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
	* src/input.c: Comment cleanups.
	(current_quote_age): New global variable.
	(set_quote_age): New helper function.
	(input_init, set_word_regexp): Use it.
	(set_quotes, set_comment): Likewise, and detect no-op changes.

	(arg_text, arg_len, arg_func): Detect type mismatch.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Ifelse, Changequote): Add more tests.
	(Incompatibilities): Fix typo.
	* examples/wraplifo.m4: New file.
	* examples/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute it.

	* README: Update copyright.
	* HACKING: Mention help2man and makeinfo dependencies.

2007-11-29  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 4: route indir, builtin through ref; make argv opaque.
	Finish making struct opaque to all but the input engine, by
	reworking obstack usage in expand_macro to better support creation
	of a $@ reference.  Canonicalize the empty argument, to allow
	pointer comparison optimizations.
	Memory impact: slight penalty, due to larger struct.
	Speed impact: slight improvement, due to fewer function calls.
	* src/m4.h (obstack_regrow): Borrow definition from head.
	(struct token_chain): Add flatten and len members.
	(arg_equal, arg_empty, make_argv_ref): New prototypes.
	(struct macro_arguments): Move...
	* src/macro.c (struct macro_arguments): ...here, making it
	opaque.  Add has_ref member.
	(empty_token): New placeholder, for optimizing comparison with
	empty string.
	(collect_arguments): Change signature, and populate new fields.
	(expand_macro): Alter handling of obstacks.
	(arg_token): New helper method.
	(arg_equal, arg_empty, make_argv_ref): New methods.
	(arg_type, arg_text, arg_len, arg_func): Use new methods.
	* src/builtin.c (m4_ifelse, m4_builtin, m4_indir, m4_eval):
	Likewise.
	* src/format.c (format): Likewise.

	Stage 3: cache length, rather than computing it.
	Cache the length of a token, to avoid repeating lots of strlen
	calls.  Additionally, by using obstack length rather than strlen,
	the input engine can now support embedded NUL.
	Memory impact: slight penalty, due to larger struct.
	Speed impact: noticeable improvement, due to fewer function
	calls.
	* src/input.c (next_token): Grab length from obstack rather than
	calling strlen.
	* src/m4.h (token_data, macro_arguments): Add length field.
	(TOKEN_DATA_LEN): New accessor.
	(define_user_macro): Add parameter.
	* src/builtin.c (define_user_macro, mkstemp_helper): Use
	pre-computed length.
	(builtin_init, define_macro, m4_maketemp, m4_mkstemp): Adjust
	callers.
	(dump_args, m4_ifdef, m4_ifelse, m4_builtin, m4_indir, m4_eval)

	(expand_user_macro): Use cached lengths.
	* src/freeze.c (reload_frozen_state): Adjust callers.
	* src/m4.c (main): Likewise.
	* src/macro.c (expand_token, expand_argument, collect_arguments)
	(arg_len): Use cached length.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Mkstemp): Ensure mkstemp does not produce NUL.

2007-11-27  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 2: use accessors, not direct reference, into argv.
	Outside of macro.c, use accessor methods rather than direct access
	into the argv struct.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, due to increased function calls.
	* src/m4.h (TOKEN_EOF): Alter value, to ease debugging.
	(arg_argc, arg_type, arg_text, arg_len, arg_func): New
	prototypes.
	* src/macro.c (arg_argc, arg_type, arg_text, arg_len, arg_func):
	New accessor functions.
	* src/builtin.c (ARG, dump_args, define_macro, m4_builtin)
	(m4_indir): Use new accessors.
	* src/debug.c (trace_pre): Likewise.
	* src/format.c (ARG_INT, ARG_LONG, ARG_STR, ARG_DOUBLE):
	Likewise.

2007-11-24  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 1: convert token_data** into new object.
	Pass a variable-size wrapper structure instead of an array to
	builtins, so that subsequent optimizations in the structure need
	not impact every builtin client.
	Memory impact: slight penalty, since struct is larger than array.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, due to increased bookkeeping.
	* m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import flexmember module.
	* src/m4.h (struct macro_arguments, struct token_chain): New
	structs.
	(builtin_func): Alter signature.
	(token_data): Add new TOKEN_COMP alternative.
	* src/builtin.c: All builtins changed.
	(ARG, dump_args, define_macro, expand_user_macro): Update to use
	struct.
	* src/debug.c (trace_pre, trace_post): Likewise.
	* src/format.c (ARG_INT, ARG_LONG, ARG_STR, ARG_DOUBLE, format):
	Likewise.
	* src/macro.c (collect_arguments): Build new struct.
	(call_macro, expand_macro): Update to use new struct.

	Simplify previous patch.
	* src/input.c (pop_input): Change signature.
	(push_string_init, next_char_1): Adjust callers.

	Note: Patches titled Stage 0 through N form a series of patches
	which decreases the algorithmic complexity of tail recursion in
	macro expansions from O(n^2) to O(n) in both time and memory, then
	performs cleanups, such as handling of embedded NUL, made easier
	by the code refactoring.

	Stage 0: Fix memory leak in tail recursion.
	Free expansion text in the input engine as soon as it is parsed,
	rather than when the recursive expansion completes.
	Memory impact: noticeable improvement, due to reduction from
	O(n^2) to O(n) on recursion.
	Speed impact: minor improvement, due to better memory usage.

	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.

	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

	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

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

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

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

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

	and_term, not_term, logical_not_term, cmp_term, shift_term,
	add_term, mult_term, exp_term, unary_term, simple_term): Add

	just after the initial ./configure.
	Reported by David MacKenzie and Tom McConnell.

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

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

	* aclocal.m4: Replace FP_PROTOTYPES by AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES,
	following an idea from Brook G. Milligan.  AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES

	discouraging those flags asking for ANSI compilation.
	* acconfig.h: Document HAVE_PROTOTYPES.
	* configure.in: Use AC_HAVE_PROTOTYPES instead of FP_PROTOTYPES.
	* m4.h: Define _() according to HAVE_PROTOTYPES, not __STDC__.
	Reported by Eric Backus.

	* configure.in: Substitute CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, taking their value
	from the environment.  Default CFLAGS to -g if not set.
	* Makefile.in: Have CFLAGS and LDFLAGS substituted from configure.

	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.

	name.
	Reported by Krste Asanovic and Pete Chown.

	[These modifs all depend upon ENABLE_CHANGEWORD]

	* 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

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

	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.

	* 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Mon Jan  3 00:21:45 1994  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

	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.

Wed Nov 24 22:16:15 1993  Francois Pinard  (pinard@icule)

	* checks/get-them: Escape braces with backslashes in patterns,

	* 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

	INTERNAL_ERROR*.
	* Makefile.in (_m4.c): Do not adjust ansi2knr output for va_alist,
	this is not needed anymore.

	* m4.h: Declare extern FILE *debug.  Add DEBUG_PRINT{1,3} and
	DEBUG_MESSAGE{,1,2} macros.  Delete declarations for debug_print
	and debug_message, add declaration for debug_message_prefix.

	Delete debug_print and debug_message routines, add
	debug_message_prefix routine.
	* builtin.c, debug.c: Replace debug_print routine calls with
	DEBUG_PRINT* macro calls.
	* input.c, path.c: Replace debug_message routine calls with
	DEBUG_MESSAGE* macro calls.

	* debug.c: Include <stdarg.h> or <varargs.h>.
	(trace_format): Use stdarg instead of varargs if __STDC__.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* m4.c: Change `--no-warnings' to `--silent'.

	Reported by David MacKenzie.

	* 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.

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

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

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

	* Makefile.in: Adjust and link with checks/Makefile.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* checks/get_them, checks/check_them: Reindented.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* 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.

	* configure.in: New, using Autoconf 1.2.
	* m4.h: Reverse NO_MEMORY_H to NEED_MEMORY_H.

	--no-gnu-extensions instead of --no_gnu_extensions.  Make the
	usage message more informative.
	Reported by David MacKenzie.

Mon Mar  9 14:53:40 1992  Francois Pinard  (pinard at icule)

	* etc/check_examples: New name for check_examples.sh.
