	Factor load functionality into include builtin.
	* m4/module.c (m4__module_open): Instead of calling lt_dlopenext
	right away, use the preload hint first incase path searching has
	been disabled by POSIXLY_CORRECT.  Otherwise fallback to a
	manual path search to override libltdl's algorithm.
	* m4/m4module.h: Adjust.
	* m4/path.c (FILE_SUFFIXES): Order to try suffixes in our path
	search algorithm.
	(NO_SUFFIXES): Alternatively, how to to search a path without
	adding file suffixes.
	(m4_path_search): Add a new suffixes parameter defaulting to
	NO_SUFFIXES.  Adjust all callers.
	(m4_load_filename): New generic load function that tries to
	open a matched file first as a module, and if that fails fall
	back to as (possibly frozen) m4 input.
	(m4_fopen): New function with close on exec functionality.
	* modules/m4.c (include, sinclude): Use m4_load_filename to
	overload these builtins to work with modules too.
	* modules/load.c (load): Removed this builtin.
	* src/main.c: Remove Dynamic loading features section, and
	M4MODPATH support.
	(long_options): Remove "load-module", "unload-module" and
	"module-directory" options.
	(OPTSTRING): Remove 'M' and 'm' options.
	(process_file): Use m4_load_filename to support module names
	on the command line.
	* Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): No need for abs_top_builddir
	any more.
	* doc/m4.texinfo: Update examples.
	(Dynamic loading features, Load): Removed.
	(Command line files): Describe how non-option arguments are
	treated to try to find a matching macro file or dso.

2008-04-14  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 21b: $@ concatenates builtins, m4wrap takes builtins.
	Improve arg_print to handle builtin tokens when printing to a
	known chain, rather than always flattening builtins.  This allows
	m4wrap and $@ back-references to handle embedded builtin tokens.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, from more bookkeeping.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_push_builtin): Add parameter.
	(m4_builtin_print, m4_push_wrapup_init, m4_push_wrapup_finish)

	for NULL input block.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: noticeable improvement, from fewer conditionals.
	* m4/input.c (eof_funcs, input_eof): New objects.
	(eof_peek, eof_read, eof_unget): New functions.
	(file_clean, m4_push_string_init, pop_input, m4_push_wrapup_init)
	(m4_pop_wrapup, next_char, peek_char, unget_input, m4_input_init)
	(m4_input_exit): Use placeholder to guarantee non-NULL isp and
	wsp.
	(next_char): Rename retry to allow_unget, and change sense for
	easier manipulation.  All callers changed.

	Improve OS/2 detection.
	* modules/gnu.c (m4_macro_table): Ensure all possible identifiers
	are defined, not just the first.  The testsuite ensures that
	exactly one gets defined.
	* m4/system_.h [__EMX__]: OS/2 is not Unix-compatible, no matter
	what other pre-defined macros it has.
	* THANKS: Update.
	Reported by Elbert Pol.

	Ensure __m4_version__ is unquoted.
	* tests/builtins.at (__m4_@&t@version__): Augment test.

	Avoid GNU make failure on tarball.
	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute cfg.mk and maint.mk.

	* configure.ac (version): Rename...
	(M4_VERSION): ...to this, since using 'version' broke po.m4.

2008-04-09  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Mention 1.4.11 release.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (History, Defn, Ifdef, Ifelse, M4wrap)

	* tests/builtins.at (divert): Add additional test.

2008-04-08  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Overhaul inter-version releases to work with git.
	* configure.ac (version): New variable, which has nicer version
	contents when using git 1.5.5+, hardcoded to 1.9a otherwise.
	(TIMESTAMP): Delete, since CVS id expansion died with transition
	to git.
	(AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use version to decide gnu vs. gnits.
	* build-aux/mkstamp: Delete, no longer used.
	* Makefile.am (CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES): Kill, to speed up

	Stage 20b: make m4wrap obey POSIX fifo ordering.
	Improve input engine to support location changes within symbol
	chains, then convert m4wrap to always build symbol chain.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, from more m4wrap bookkeeping.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_wrap_args): Add prototype.
	* m4/m4private.h (enum m4__symbol_chain_type): Add M4__CHAIN_LOC.
	(struct m4__symbol_chain): Add struct u_l.

	* NEWS: Document this change.

2008-03-17  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 20a: reduce unget's in input engine.
	Now that out-of-range input placeholders like CHAR_BUILTIN are
	consumed outside of next_char, next_token should always consume
	rather than peek at the first character.  Fewer peeks results in
	less ungetc overhead.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: noticeable improvement, from fewer function calls.
	* m4/input.c (struct input_funcs): Alter read_func prototype.
	(next_char, file_read, buildin_read, string_read, composite_read):
	Add allow_argv parameter.

	(Incompatibilities): Move documentation of LIFO vs. FIFO...
	(M4wrap): ...here, to match improved example.

2008-03-13  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 19c: allow builtin tokens in more macros.
	Allow builtin tokens inside symbol chains, although for now, they
	are not allowed inside comments or quotes.  Enable builtin token
	handling in more macros, if only to consistently diagnose invalid
	macro names.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: slight impact, due to more bookkeeping.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_symbol_value_lookup, m4_builtin_print): New
	prototypes.

	Handle builtin tokens.
	(arg_symbol): Add parameter, and allow NULL level.
	(m4_arg_symbol, m4__push_arg_quote): Adjust callers.
	(m4_arg_text): Ensure all builtins have been flattened.

	(ifdef, ifelse, shift): Handle builtin tokens.
	* modules/gnu.c (m4symbols): Likewise.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Defn, Ifdef, Ifelse): Document and test the new
	behavior.
	(Debuglen): Likewise, and remove xfail.
	* NEWS: Mention the change.

	Stage 19b: invert sense of bit for handling builtin tokens.
	Pass builtin tokens by default, rather than as the exception, so
	that the logic can consistently refer to flattening arguments.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: none.
	* m4/m4module.h (M4BUILTIN_ENTRY): New convenience macro.
	(M4_BUILTIN_GROKS_MACRO): Rename...
	(M4_BUILTIN_FLATTEN_ARGS): ...and invert sense.
	(m4_symbol_value_groks_macro, m4_symbol_groks_macro): Likewise...
	(m4_symbol_value_flatten_args, m4_symbol_flatten_args): ...to
	this.
	* m4/m4private.h (VALUE_MACRO_ARGS_BIT)
	(m4_symbol_value_groks_macro): Likewise...
	(VALUE_FLATTEN_ARGS_BIT, m4_symbol_value_flatten_args): ...to
	this.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_value_groks_macro): Likewise...
	(m4_symbol_value_flatten_args): ...to this.
	* m4/macro.c (collect_arguments): Accomodate changed sense.
	* m4/module.c (m4__module_open): Require arguments if flattening
	is requested.
	* m4/input.c (m4_push_string_finish): For now, flatten all

	Stage 19a: sort and cache builtins loaded by a module.
	Rather than repeatedly using dlsym to browse the builtin table,
	copy off the table at module load time.  Then, the input engine
	merely refers to the copy instead of duplicating information.
	Memory impact: slight penalty, due to more memory per module, but
	offset by less memory in input engine.
	Speed impact: slight improvement, due to faster builtin	lookups.

	(m4__next_token): Alter parsing so that only init_builtin_token
	consumes a builtin.

	making wrapper for builtin or indir.
	* tests/builtins.at (builtin): New test.
	* NEWS: Document the fix.
	Reported by Andreas Schwab.

2008-03-04  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	The gnulib module free was deprecated.
	* ltdl/m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Remove free module.

2008-02-29  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Import news from 1.4.10b.
	* NEWS: Update from branch.

2008-02-23  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	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.
	* m4/macro.c (make_argv_ref): Avoid wrapping $@ when possible.
	(m4_push_args): Let make_argv_ref take care of pending data.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Improved foreach): Tweak wording to match new
	performance capability.
	* tests/others.at (recursion): Add tests to avoid performance
	regression.

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

	Update NEWS.
	* NEWS: Document change to __gnu__ on 2008-02-11.

	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.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_arg_equal, m4_arg_len): Add parameter.

2008-02-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Fix regression in argument collection, from 2008-01-21.
	* m4/input.c (m4__next_token): When DEBUG_INPUT is defined,
	undo argument collection optimisation for strings, so that
	m4_print_token doesn't abort when it otherwise receives an
	unprintable M4_SYMBOL_VOID type token.

2008-02-20  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 16: cache quotes and improve m4_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.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_symbol_value_print, m4_symbol_print)
	(m4_arg_print): Adjust prototypes.
	(m4_dump_args): Delete.
	(m4_push_wrapup): Split...

	prototypes.
	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4_syntax_table): Add cached_quote
	member.

	(m4_set_syntax): Update caller.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_value_print): Add parameter.
	(m4_symbol_print, dump_symbol_CB): Adjust all callers.
	* m4/utility.c (m4_dump_args): Delete; callers should use
	m4_arg_print instead.
	* m4/input.c (m4_push_wrapup_init, m4_push_wrapup_finish): Split
	implementation, and allow embedded NUL.
	(m4_print_token, pop_input, composite_print, composite_peek):
	(composite_read, append_quote_token): Adjust all callers.
	* m4/macro.c (trace_prepre, m4_arg_text, make_argv_ref):

	* tests/null.out: Update expected output.

	Fix out-of-bounds read for sanitized macro names, from 2008-02-06.
	* m4/utility.c (m4_verror_at_line): Properly terminate the string.
	Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.

	* doc/m4.texinfo (Debuglen, Changesyntax): Fix typos.

2008-02-19  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Clean up example on filtering defined symbols.

2008-02-18  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Avoid some magic numbers.
	* m4/m4private.h (CHAR_EOF, CHAR_BUILTIN, CHAR_QUOTE, CHAR_ARGV)

2008-02-16  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Add regression test for multi-character quote recursion.

	* examples/foreachq2.m4: Likewise.
	* examples/forloop2.m4: Likewise.
	* examples/hanoi.m4: Likewise.
	* examples/trace.m4: Likewise.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Improved forloop): Document advantage of $0.
	(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.
	* m4/m4private.h (CHAR_ARGV): New input engine sentinel.
	(enum m4__token_type): Add M4_TOKEN_ARGV.

	* m4/m4module.h: Fix typo.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_value_create): Prime the maximum number
	of arguments.
	* tests/macros.at (Command line define): Enhance test.

	(m4_macro_args): Adjust type of various fields.
	(m4__push_arg_quote): Adjust all clients.
	* m4/input.c (m4_pop_wrapup): Likewise.

	* modules/m4.h (m4_dump_symbols_func): Likewise.
	* modules/perl.c (perleval): Likewise.

	Stage 14b: 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.
	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4__symbol_chain): Add comma and quotes
	fields.

	helper functions, to add parameters.
	(m4_push_args): Adjust caller.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_value_print): Likewise.

	Stage 14a: allow printing argv references.
	Refactor symbol-value printing code for better sharing, and to
	allow printing a contiguous text representation of a $@ ref.
	Memory impact: none.
	Speed impact: none.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_arg_print): New prototype.
	(m4_symbol_value_print): Alter prototype.
	* m4/input.c (struct input_funcs): Add parameter to peek_func.
	(file_peek, builtin_peek, string_peek): Ignore new parameter.

	to avoid infinite recursion in next patch.
	* m4/macro.c (trace_prepre, trace_pre): Adjust callers.
	(m4_arg_print): New function.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_value_print): Update signature.
	(m4_symbol_print): Update caller.
	* m4/output.c (m4_shipout_string_trunc): Update comments.
	* m4/syntax.c (set_quote_age): Require comma as argument separator
	when dealing with $@ as a unit.
	* tests/builtins.at (ifelse): Augment test.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Changesyntax): Document changesyntax deficiency.

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.

	* tests/freeze.at (reloading unknown builtin): Update test.

	Stage 12a: make m4_symbol_chain a union.
	Shrink size of symbol chains by using a union.
	Memory impact: slight improvement, due to smaller struct.
	Speed impact: slight improvement, due to less bookkeeping.
	* m4/m4private.h (enum m4__symbol_chain_type): New enum.
	(struct m4_symbol_chain): Rename...
	(struct m4__symbol_chain): ...to this, since it is internal.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_value_copy, m4_symbol_value_print): All

2008-01-21  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.

2008-01-16  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.
	* ltdl/m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import intprops and vasnprintf-posix
	modules.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__token_type): Adjust prototype.
	* m4/input.c (m4__next_token): Support new parameter.
	* m4/macro.c (m4_macro_expand_input, expand_token)
	(expand_argument, collect_arguments): Adjust callers.
	* modules/m4.c (ntoa): Tighten buffer size.
	* m4/output.c (m4_tmpname): Guarantee no buffer overflow.
	* modules/format.c (arg_int, arg_long, arg_double): New helper
	functions, to detect overflow or unparsed characters.
	(ARG_INT, ARG_LONG, ARG_STR, ARG_DOUBLE): Adjust to check for
	missing or excess arguments.
	(format): Likewise, and also output directly into obstack if there
	is room.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (History): Update for new year.
	(Format): Test for new warnings.

2008-01-15  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	* TODO: Update with some newer URLs.

	Verify linear `index'.
	* tests/builtins.at (index): New test.
	(translit): Make test take longer, to make quadratic algorithms
	more apparent.

2007-12-20  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.
	* ltdl/m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import memmem and quote modules.

	* tests/others.at (nul character): New test.
	(iso8859): Quote absolute file name, remove XFAIL.
	* tests/iso8859.m4: Avoid raw NUL in output.

2007-12-17  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.
	* m4/system_.h (obstack_regrow): Delete.

	example.
	Reported by Giovanni Toffetti.

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

	Stage 7: use chained input support in 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: slight penalty, due to extra bookkeeping.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__push_symbol): New prototype.
	(struct m4_symbol_chain): Add const-safety.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_value_print): Simplify.
	(dump_symbol_CB): Update caller.
	* m4/input.c (struct m4_input_block): Alter u_c member, first
	introduced 2006-10-25, but unused until now.

	* doc/m4.texinfo (Dumpdef): Augment test.

2007-12-08  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.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_shipout_text): Rename...
	(m4_divert_text): ...to this, to avoid confusion with m4_shipout_*
	that does not worry about sync lines.
	(m4_shipout_string_trunc): New prototype.
	* m4/output.c (m4_shipout_text): Rename...
	(m4_divert_text): ...to this.

	* modules/m4.c (m4_make_temp): Produce quoted output.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Mkstemp, Mkdtemp): Update the documentation and
	tests.

	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 improvement, due to smaller struct in input
	engine.
	Speed impact: slight penalty, due to more bookkeeping.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_get_symbol_value_quote_age): New prototype.
	(m4_set_symbol_value_text): Adjust prototype.

	(dist_man_MANS, doc/m4.1): Fix rules for building m4.1 into
	srcdir.
	* 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.
	* m4/system_.h (obstack_regrow): Fix precedence.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_arg_equal, m4_arg_empty, m4_make_argv_ref):
	New prototypes.
	(struct m4_macro_args): Move...
	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4_macro_args): ...here, making it opaque
	to modules.  Add has_ref member.

	* modules/gnu.c (builtin, indir, esyscmd, debugfile): Use new
	methods.
	(changesyntax, regexp): Optimize.
	* m4/output.c (diversion_storage): Use typedef.

	Stage 3b: cache length, rather than computing it, in modules.
	Use cached token length in builtins and output engine.

	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_remove): Avoid double free on remove
	failure.

	* doc/m4.texinfo (Renamesyms, Dumpdef, Changesyntax): Adjust test.
	* tests/builtins.at (mkstemp): Likewise.
	* tests/others.at (iso8859): XFAIL this test, now that
	length-based handling allows NUL through part but not all of M4.

2007-11-28  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Stage 3a: cache length, rather than computing it, in libm4.
	Cache the length of a token in the input engine and symbol table,
	to avoid repeating lots of strlen calls.  Additionally, by using
	obstack length rather than strlen, the input engine can now
	support embedded NUL.

	(m4__next_token): Adjust all users of symbol text to track length,
	too.

	(m4_get_symbol_value_text, m4_get_symbol_value_placeholder)
	(m4_set_symbol_value_text, m4_set_symbol_value_placeholder):
	Adjust implementation.

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.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_arg_argc): New fast accessor.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_arg_argc, m4_arg_symbol, m4_is_arg_text)
	(m4_is_arg_func, m4_arg_text, m4_arg_len, m4_arg_func): New
	prototypes.
	(m4_builtin_func, M4BUILTIN, M4BUILTIN_HANDLER, m4_dump_args)

	usage.

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

	Stage 1: convert m4_symbol_value** 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.
	* ltdl/m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Import flexmember module.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_macro_args): New type, will be opaque to

	* m4/macro.c (expand_argument): Consistently ignore builtins in
	concatenation contexts.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__symbol_type): Fix C89 compliance bug.

2007-11-13  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	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.
	* m4/input.c (pop_input): Add flag parameter and return type.
	(next_char): Adjust caller.

	Get rid of the last 'differs in signedness' compiler warnings:

	* m4/macro.c (process_macro): m4_get_symbol_value_text() returns

	the string part of this union store regular 'char *' types, so
	they should be regular 'char *' types too.

	M4 was designed to have a small number of header files defining
	the interfaces to several source files each.  Keeping this in
	mind allows us to tidy things up considerably.  Having done this,

	here...

	Fix all testsuite failures on cygwin.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Syscmd, Esyscmd): Forward-port updates from
	branch-1_4.  Solves testsuite failure when uninstalled m4 is
	shadowed by redefinition of PATH in libtool wrapper.

	The regs_allocated field in a struct re_pattern_buffer refers
	to the state of a particular re_registers struct when used in
	successive matches using the same compiled pattern.  Avoid a
	SEGV in `renamesyms' resulting from using a new re_registers
	with an existing re_pattern_buffer:

	* modules/gnu.c (m4_pattern_buffer): Wrapper struct for associated
	pattern buffer and registers.
	(m4_regexp_search): New function to call re_regexp_search with
	correctly matched pattern buffer and register instantiations.

	* Makefile.am (src_m4_DEPENDENCIES): Make dependency explicit.
	(clean-local): Split into and depend upon...

	(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute modules/perl.c.

2006-06-19  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/doc/m4.1): No need to list $(srcdir) in
	right side of dependency; VPATH does that.
	(stamp-vcl): Update to use libtool's algorithm.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute stamp-vcl.
	Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
	(TESTSUITE): Revert earlier change that used absolute path, as
	that broke 'make dist' in VPATH.  Stick with $(srcdir) instead.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Revert earlier change of $(TESTSUITE).
	(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT) [USE_GMP]: Revert earlier addition, since
	atlocal takes care of it instead.
	(check-local, installcheck-local, clean-local): Inline absolute
	path to testsuite here, rather than relative path to testsuite
	elsewhere.

2006-06-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	variable warning.

2006-06-19  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	type-punning warnings caused trying to mix these types.
	* modules/mpeval.c (numb_ior, numb_eor, numb_and, numb_lshift),

	code.

2006-06-14  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* Makefile.am (modules_mpeval_la_LIBADD): Readd $(LIBADD_GMP).

2006-06-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
	and Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	Allow `make dist' to work again.
	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): doc/helptoman.pl is gone.
	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Avoid redundant mention of dist_man_MANS.
	(cvs-dist): Fix typo.
	* NEWS: Match current version number.

2006-06-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

	* Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS):  Add $(LTDLINCL), so the right
	ltdl.h is used.

	* bootstrap: Do not run libtoolize manually, this is done
	correctly by autoreconf.  Invoke autoreconf with --no-recursive
	to avoid unnecessary rerunning of autotools for libltdl.

2006-06-13  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	* THANKS: Update.

2006-06-12  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	worthwhile.
	* ChangeLog: Change encoding to UTF-8.

	Avoid compiler warnings.
	* m4/macro.c (trace_format): Don't mark this as a printf format,
	since we don't accept the same set of modifiers as printf.  It
	would be nice if gcc let us specify a custom format archetype.
	* src/main.c (main): Cast away const.

2006-06-10  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>  (tiny change)
	    Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

2006-05-04  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

	* Makefile.am (doc/m4.1): Use EXEEXT on built binary.
	Cleanup whitespace.

2005-12-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* bootstrap (func_update_po): Synch with CVS GNU tar.  wget 1.9.x
	and 1.10.x support --cache=off, so $WGETFLAGS are not necessary.
	Reported by Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

2005-12-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* bootstrap (func_update_po): Test and set $WGETFLAGS to disable

2005-10-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/module.c (caller_id): To match libtool-2.0 interface, changed
	to ...

2005-07-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	file escaped the address updates on 2005-05-01.

2005-07-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* bootstrap: Allow user overriding of gnulib-tool location, and

	is given as a relative or absolute path, or is found by searching
	PATH.

	to stop the new generated tests from choking.

2005-05-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Since most of the build is handled from a single Makefile.am now,
	we can teach make about the dependencies between the m4 binary and
	the preopened modules it is built against:

	* configure.ac (PREOPEN_DEPENDENCIES): Substitute for a list of
	preopened modules.
	* Makefile.am (src_m4_DEPENDENCIES): Rebuild the m4 program if any
	of the preopened modules have changed.

2005-05-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	have a native implementation.

2005-05-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Forward port of a patch that allowed m4-1.4.2 to compile on
	QNX 6.3:

	* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS):  Add signal.h,
	sys/signal.h.
	* src/m4.h: And include them as appropriate.
	* src/main.c, src/stackovf.h: Don't include signal.h literally;

2005-05-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/m4private.h: Make errno visible for the sources patched
	below.

2005-05-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	M4ERROR relies on this.
	* modules/gnu.c (m4_esyscmd): Clear errno before calling popen.
	* modules/m4.c (m4_maketemp): Clear errno before calling mkstemp.
	* m4/path.c (m4_path_search): Don't let "free" trash errno when
	returning NULL.

	* m4/output.c (m4_insert_file): Don't assume errno has a valid
	value simply because fread returns zero.  This fixes a
	portability bug reported by Marion Hakanson in
	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2004-07/msg00029.html>.

2005-05-04  Santiago Vila  <sanvila@debian.org>

	unbuffered I/O, as this breaks on the Hurd.

2005-05-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Gnulib has changed again.  Reimport.  Adjust.  Rinse.  Repeat.
	Automake and Libtool now agree on subdir-objects and LTLIBOBJS,
	and libtoolize does a better job of ltdl importing now too, so
	take advantage of that while updating the tree:

	* acm4, config: Moved from here...
	* ltdl/m4, ltdl/config: ...to here.
	* doc/Makefile.am, m4/Makefile.am, modules/Makefile.am,
	src/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am: Removed...
	* Makefile.am: ...and migrated to here, with adjustments to
	compensate for relative path differences.
	* commit: Adjust relative paths.
	* configure.ac: Adjust relative paths.
	(AC_PREREQ): 2.59 isn't strictly new enough, we also need a
	patch.
	(LT_PREREQ): 2.0 isn't released yet, but will work when it is!  In
	the meanwhile, CVS HEAD libtool is needed.
	(AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Added subdir-objects declaration. 1.9.5 isn't
	stricly new enough, we also need a patch.
	(AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Required for subdir-objects in Automake.
	(AC_WITH_LTDL): Replaced with LT_WITH_LTDL.
	(gl_MODULES): Don't list getopt and version-etc, as they don't
	belong in libm4.
	* bootstrap: After running gnulib-tool to import the listed
	modules, fetch getopt and version-etc into src manually.
	(ltdldir): Change to ltdl.
	* src/main.c: Adjust for changes in version-etc API.
	* ltdl/m4/m4-getopt.m4: New macro to mirror gnulib's getopt.m4,
	but works when the getopt module isn't to be included in the lib.
	* README: Add note about patching autoconf and automake to
	bootstrap CVS m4.

2005-05-02  Matt Kraai  <kraai@debian.org>  (tiny change)

	mkstemp rather than mktemp.

2005-05-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/syntax.c (m4_get_syntax_lquote, m4_get_syntax_rquote)
	(m4_get_syntax_bcomm, m4_get_syntax_ecomm)
	(m4_is_syntax_single_quotes, m4_is_syntax_single_comments)
	(m4_is_syntax_macro_escaped): Similarly protect function
	definitions from macro expansion under -DNDEBUG by #undefing the
	matching macro names before each definition.  Also, move all the
	function definitions to the end of the file so that any
	invocations in the rest of the file pick up the fast macro
	versions.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_set_symbol_table, m4_set_syntax_table)
	(m4_set_debug_file, m4_set_trace_messages)
	(m4_set_warning_status_opt, m4_set_no_gnu_extensions_opt)
	(m4_set_nesting_limit_opt, m4_set_debug_level_opt)
	(m4_set_max_debug_arg_length_opt): New fast macro versions of the
	option setter functions.

2004-09-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* po/POTFILES.in: Reflect move of gnulib files from gnulib/m4
	to gnu.

2004-09-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* src/main.c: Include gnulib files from the correct directory.

	* gnulib/*: Don't store any of the gnulib files in arch, as they
	generate spurious changes.
	* Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Remove gnulib/acm4 since the
	gnulib macros now share our macro directory.
	(SUBDIRS): Descend into `gnu' rather than `gnulib'.
	* bootstrap: Call gnulib-tool to import from the gnulib tree.
	(gl_AC_HEADER_INT_TYPES_H, gl_AC_HEADER_STDINT_H,
	gl_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T): Patch gnulib.m4 to define these in terms of
	the gettext macros from autopoint that overwrite the gnulib-tool
	imported versions.  Import sources and Makefile.am into the `gnu'
	directory.  Changed all callers.
	* configure.ac (gl_EARLY, gl_SOURCE_BASE, gl_M4_BASE, gl_MODULES,
	gl_INIT): Call these gnulib-tool macros instead of the hardcoded
	for imported modules.
	* acm4/m4-error.m4, acm4/m4-gettext.m4, acm4/m4-obstack.m4,
	acm4/m4-regex.m4: Use AC_BEFORE to enforce ordering rather than
	hardcoding the gnulib macros they wrap.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Latest CVS libtool can preload modules in libraries, including
	its own module loaders!  Tweak m4 so that it doesn't try to treat
	libltdl's module loaders as m4 modules when freezing and on exit:

	* gnulib/acm4/*.m4: Don't store these files in arch since they
	generate spurious changes.
	* bootstrap: Simplify initial libtoolize call, since CVS
	libtoolize is smarter these days.
	* doc/Makefile.am (%.1): Make the helptoman call work with a VPATH
	build.
	* m4/module.h (m4__module_exit): Missing declaration.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__module_next): New function declaration.
	* m4/module.c (m4__module_next): lt_dlhandle_{firs,nex}t
	encapsulation.  Changed all callers.
	(m4__module_interface): New function to verify m4 loadable module
	interfaces.
	(m4__module_init): Register the interface validator.
	(m4__module_exit): Only close my own modules.
	* modules/m4.c (unistd.h): Provide missing declaration.
	(m4_set_sysval, m4_sysval_flush, m4_dump_symbols)
	(m4_expand_ranges): More missing declarations.
	* modules/modtest.c (export_test): Ditto.
	* src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Add libltdl directory.
	* src/main.c (main): Bump copyright year.
	* tests/modules.at: Fix sed syntax error.


2004-06-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Tweaking to enable compilation with latest CVS libtool and
	libltdl.  We can't just dump the library files directly into the
	m4 directory anymore now that libltdl is built from pieces itself:

	* bootstrap: Rewritten to use latest libtoolize sanely, and to
	set up libltdl subdirectory.
	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Point to our own, not the
	gnulib subdirectory's config.
	(TIMESTAMP): Use $ac_aux_dir for VPATH builds.
	(m4_pattern_forbid): Remove the cruft to deal with renamed jm_
	macros from gnulib.
	(AC_LIB_LTDL): Latest libltdl is a sub-project with its own
	configure.ac, so use AC_WITH_LTDL instead.
	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add libltdl.
	* acm4/m4-regex.m4 (jm_INCLUDED_REGEX): Updated.  gnulib now uses
	gl_INCLUDED_REGEX.
	* m4/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Add INCLTDL.
	(libm4_la_SOURCES): Remove ltdl.c and ltdl.h.
	(libm4_la_LIBADD): Add LIBLTDL.
	* m4/ltdl.c, m4/ltdl.h: Removed.
	* m4/m4module.h: Include canonical ltdl.h.
	* po/*.po: Updated.

2004-06-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* gnulib/import: Now updates makefile fragments, and configure.ac.
	* gnulib/m4/gnulib.am: New file.  Generated makefile fragments.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: include it.
	* gnulib/acm4/intmax.m4, gnulib/acm4/longdouble.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/longlong.m4, gnulib/acm4/printf-posix.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/signed.m4, gnulib/acm4/size_max.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/wchar_t.m4, gnulib/acm4/wint_t.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/xsize.m4: New macro files from latest gnulib import.
	* gnulib/acm4/alloca.m4, gnulib/acm4/inttypes_h.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/lib-ld.m4, gnulib/acm4/lib-prefix.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/error.m4, gnulib/acm4/po.m4, gnulib/acm4/regex.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/stdbool.m4, gnulib/acm4/stdint_h.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/uintmax_t.m4, gnulib/acm4/ulonglong.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/unlocked-io.m4, gnulib/acm4/xalloc.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/free.m4, gnulib/acm4/gettext.m4,
	gnulib/acm4/glibc21.m4: Updated macro files from latest gnulib
	import.
	* gnulib/m4/getopt_int.h: New source file from latest gnulib
	import.
	* gnulib/m4/alloca.c, gnulib/m4/alloca_.h, gnulib/m4/getopt1.c,
	gnulib/m4/obstack.c, gnulib/m4/obstack.h, gnulib/m4/regex.c,
	gnulib/m4/unlocked-io.h, gnulib/m4/version-etc.c,
	gnulib/m4/xmalloc.c, gnulib/m4/getopt.c, gnulib/m4/getopt.h:
	Updated source files from latest gnulib.

2004-02-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* config/mailnotify: New file for mailing commit notifications,
	imported from cvs-utils.
	* commit: Updated from cvs-utils and tweaked for m4.

2003-12-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* config/mkstamp: Updated from CVS libtool.
	* configure.ac: Generate a gnu coding standards compliant version
	number, and use it for the banner.
	* Makefile.am (stamp-vcl): New rules to force m4 to be regenerated
	mhen the TIMESTAMP changes in ChangeLog, but the file modification
	time doesn't (e.g. in cvs commit).  Otherwise dist tarballs will
	contain the previous version number.
	* src/main.c: Make --version output conform to the GNU standard.

	* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require 1.7g...
	* modules/Makefile.am (gnu_la_SOURCES, load_la_SOURCES,
	m4_la_SOURCES, traditional_la_SOURCES, modtest_la_SOURCES,
	shadow_la_SOURCES, import_la_SOURCES, stdlib_la_SOURCES,
	time_la_SOURCES): ...so that these are defaulted correctly, and
	can be removed from this file.
	(AM_LDFLAGS): Add -module...
	(gnu_la_LDFLAGS, load_la_LDFLAGS, m4_la_LDFLAGS,
	traditional_la_LDFLAGS, modtest_la_LDFLAGS, shadow_la_LDFLAGS,
	import_la_LDFLAGS, stdlib_la_LDFLAGS, time_la_LDFLAGS): ...so that
	the individual settings can be removed.
	* m4/Makefile.am (libm4_la_LIBADD): Add $(LTLIBINTL) here once...
	* module/Makefile.am (gnu_la_LIBADD, load_la_LIBADD,
	m4_la_LIBADD, traditional_la_LIBADD, modtest_la_LIBADD,
	shadow_la_LIBADD, import_la_LIBADD, stdlib_la_LIBADD,
	time_la_LIBADD): ...so that these are picked up as a deplib of
	libm4 and don't need to be set explicitly.

2003-11-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* modules/Makefile.am (pkglibexec_LTLIBRARIES): Remove perl.la
	from the standard build.  It is too fragile.

	* gnulib/acm4/libtool.m4, m4/ltdl.c, m4/ltdl.h: Reimported from
	CVS libtool after merging m4 changes across to libtool.

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symtab_create): Fix a careless use of sizeof.
	* m4/path.c (search_path_add): Ditto.

2003-11-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* configure.ac (AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS): Don't include shell code for
	libtool tags we don't use in configure.  This reduces the size
	of the script from over 1Mb to under 700Kb.

2003-11-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	The import script was not written properly, and the last gnulib
	import was incomplete.  Fixed that problem, and reimport our
	gnulib dependencies, which picks up the address calculation
	overflow checks described by Paul below.  Also tweak the clients
	of the gnulib xalloc module not to use deprecated macros:

	* gnulib/import: Recurse through module dependencies rather than
	naively descending only one level.
	* configure.ac: Add calls to gnulib's strnlen and extension module
	macros.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: Add snippets from gnulib's strnlen and
	extension modules.
	* gnulib/acm4/extensions.m4, gnulib/acm4/xalloc.m4,
	gnulib/m4/alloca.c, gnulib/m4/obstack.c, gnulib/m4/obstack.h,
	gnulib/m4/stdbool_.h, gnulib/m4/unlocked-io.h, gnulib/m4/xalloc.h,
	gnulib/m4/xmalloc.c, gnulib/m4/xstrdup.c: Updated from CVS
	gnulib.
	* gnulib/acm4/libtool.m4: Updated from CVS libtool.
	* m4/hash.c (m4_get_hash_iterator_next): Use `xzalloc (S)' in
	place of `xcalloc (1, S)'.
	* m4/m4.c (m4_create): Likewise.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_symbol_value_create): Likewise.
	* m4/symtab.c (symtab_fetch): Likewise.
	* m4/syntax.c (m4_syntax_create): Likewise.
	* src/freeze.c (reload_frozen_state): Likewise.
	* m4/path.c (search_path_add): Eliminate use of deprecated NEW
	macro.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symtab_create): Likewise.

2003-11-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* tests/module.at: Comment typo.

2003-10-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* tests/modules.at (modules: importing): Apply some lateral
	thinking, and use AT_CHECK to compare the output of a sed pass
	over stderr against the canonical strerror string.

	* tests/modules.at (modules: importing): Edit the generated stderr
	output to canonicalize strerror output, before a comparison.

2003-10-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Tru64UNIX perl is sloppy with namespace pollution.  This patch is
	careful not to trip over the mess:

	* modules/perl.c: Some builds of perl install headers that contain
	`#define try __builtin_try'.  Be sure to undefine that macro
	before `m4/hash.h' gets included, which uses the `try' symbol.
	* m4/system_.h: Similarly for `bool'.  Undefine `bool', `true' and
	`false' before including `stdbool.h'.
	(DELETE):  This symbol is not in m4's namespace, and is in any
	case only used internally...
	* m4/m4private.h (DELETE): ...so move it to here.
	Reported by Martin MOKREJS <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>

2003-10-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Don't use XMALLOC and XCALLOC.  Once we install the
	corresponding patch into gnulib, this will fix some
	address-calculation overflow bugs on hosts where calloc (A, B)
	returns garbage when A*B overflows.

	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_new, node_new, m4_hash_resize,
	maybe_grow, m4_get_hash_iterator_next): Replace XMALLOC with
	xmalloc, XCALLOC with xcalloc.
	* m4/m4.c (m4_create): Likewise.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_symbol_value_create): Likewise.
	* m4/output.c (m4_output_init): Likewise.
	* m4/symtab.c (symtab_fetch, m4_set_symbol_traced): Likewise.
	* m4/syntax.c (remove_syntax_attribute): Likewise.
	* src/freeze.c (reload_frozen_state): Likewise.
	* src/main.c (main): Likewise.

2003-10-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Search in the new acm4 and
	gnulib/acm4 directories for aclocal m4 macros.
	* gnulib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Removed.
	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add Makefile.in.
	* configure.ac (m4_GNULIB_MODULES): Use it to declare which gnulib
	modules we use.
	* acm4/m4-gnulib.m4 (m4_GNULIB_MODULES): New macro.
	* gnulib/import: New file.  Temporary script for updating gnulib

	gnulib/m4/version-etc.c, gnulib/m4/version-etc.h,
	gnulib/m4/xalloc.h, gnulib/m4/xmalloc.c: Updated from CVS
	gnulib with gnulib/import script.
	* configure.ac, gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: Manually insert anticipated
	guards ready for gnulib-tool to autoupdate on import.
	* config/debug.m4, config/gmp.m4, config/m4-error.m4,
	config/m4-gettext.m4, config/m4-obstack.m4, config/m4-regex.m4,
	config/stackovf.m4: Moved from here...

	* gnulib/m4/exit.h: Import exit module from CVS gnulib.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am (pkginclude_HEADERS): Add exit.h.
	* m4/system_.h: Don't define EXIT_SUCCESS and FAILURE, include
	exit.h instead.

2003-09-15  Charles Wilson  <cygwin@cwilson.fastmail.fm>,
	    Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* bootstrap: Separate options.
	* configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Bump to 0.12.1.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am (stdbool.h): Use srcdir, gnulib_srcdir is
	not set.
	* modules/Makefile.am (gnu_la_LIBADD, load_la_LIBADD)
	(m4_la_LIBADD, mpeval_la_LIBADD, traditianal_la_LIBADD)
	(modtest_la_LIBADD, import_la_LIBADD, perl_la_LIBADD)
	(shadow_la_LIBADD, stdlib_la_LIBADD, time_la_LIBADD): Add
	$(LTLIBINTL) for gettext support on cygwin.
	* src/Makefile.am (m4_LDADD): Remove $(INTLLIBS), since we now
	have $(LTLIBINTL) from the preloaded module la files.
	* README: Remove the warning about using --disable-nls on Windows
	machines.

2003-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* gnulib/m4/regex.c:  s/<regex.h>/"regex.h"/ or else the compiler
	picks up the system regex.h if gl_REGEX decides gnulib/m4/regex.c
	is required.

2003-09-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* doc/STYLE: Document the gnulib header naming conventions, and
	#include policy.
	* gnulib/m4/error_.h, gnulib/m4/gettext_.h, gnulib/m4/obstack_.h,
	gnulib/m4/regex_.h: Renamed to gnulib/m4/error.h,

2003-09-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Replace the getopt code with CVS gnulib getopt.  The source files
	detect whether they are in a glibc environment and preprocess away
	all of the code if there is a system getopt, so we can compile
	them into the m4 executable unconditionally:

	* gnulib/m4/getopt.c, gnulib/m4/getopt1.c, gnulib/m4/getopt.h,
	gnulib/config/getopt.m4: Import getopt module from CVS gnulib.
	* configure.ac (gl_GETOPT): Use this instead of homebrew inline
	macros.
	* src/getopt.c, src/getopt1.c, src/gnu-getopt.h: Removed old
	version.
	* src/Makefile.am: Adjust.
	* src/main.c: Always include our shipped getopt.h.
	* po/POTFILES.in: Use new location of getopt.c.

2003-09-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove config/Makefile.
	* config/Makefile.am: Removed.  Automake 1.8 distributes the files
	in this directory automatically.
	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Except config/mkstamp.

	* configure.ac (pkglibexecdir): Don't try and set it here, PACKAGE
	isn't set yet.
	* m4/Makefile.am (MODULE_PATH): Removed. Calculate pkglibexecdir
	inline.
	* modules/Makefile.am (pkglibexecdir): Set it here.
	(pkgmodincdir): Renamed to pkgmodincludedir).  Changed all clients.

	* gnulib/m4/regex.c, gnulib/m4/regex_.h, gnulib/config/regex.m4:
	Import regex module from CVS gnulib.
	* gnulib/config/restrict.m4: Ditto for dependee module restrict.
	* config/m4-regex.m4 (m4_REGEX): Wrap gnulib/config/regex.m4, but
	do extra substitutions for Makefile.
	* configure.ac: Use it.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: Maybe install regex.h after linking it
	from regex_.h if necessary.
	* m4/system_.h: Include the correct version of regex.h.
	* m4/regex.c, m4/regex.h, config/regex.m4: Removed legacy
	version.
	* po/POTFILES.in: Use new location of regex.c.

	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Removed malloc.c and
	realloc.c: automake distributes these files already.

2003-09-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Replace the xstrzdup code by importing the xstrndup module from
	CVS gnulib, along with its dependencies: strndup and strnlen:

	* gnulib/m4/xstrndup.c, gnulib/m4/xstrndup.h,
	gnulib/config/xstrndup.m4: Import xstrndup module from CVS
	gnulib.
	* gnulib/m4/strndup.c, gnulib/m4/strndup.h,
	gnulib/config/strndup.m4: Ditto wrt strndup.
	* gnulib/m4/strnlen.c, gnulib/config/strnlen.m4: Ditto wrt
	strnlen.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: Add rules from newly imported modules.
	However, contrary to gnulib, we install xstrndup.h.
	* configure.ac (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Remove xstrzdup.
	* gnulib/lib/xstrzdup.c: Delete.  This was never a gnulib file, it
	is an artifact of the old m4 portability layer.
	* configure.ac (gl_XSTRNDUP): This is the gnulib equivalent.
	* m4/system_.h: Include xstrndup.h.
	* m4/macro.c (process_macro): Call xstrndup, not xstrzdup.

2003-09-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Reimport the latest xalloc module from CVS gnulib, and adjust the
	m4 sources to take advantage of xalloc xfree.  Also create a new
	macro DELETE with the same semantics as the old m4 XFREE macro,
	and carefully tweak callers:

	* gnulib/config/xalloc.m4, gnulib/m4/xalloc.h: Updated from CVS
	gnulib.
	* m4/utility.c (xfree): Removed.  This function is now supplied by
	gnulib xalloc.
	* m4/m4private.h (WITH_DMALLOC): Removed XFREE redefine.
	* m4/path.c (search_path_add): Use NEW macro from xalloc.h.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symtab_create): Ditto.
	* m4/system_.h: Removed XFREE redefine.
	(DELETE): New macro with same functionality as the original m4
	XFREE macro, but based on xalloc.h now.  Changed all callers.
	* src/main.c (main): Use XMALLOC macro.
	* m4/hash.c, m4/macro.c, m4/symtab.c, m4/syntax.c: Use xfree
	instead of XFREE.
	* m4/output.c (m4_output_exit): Use DELETE instead of XFREE.

2003-09-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Import the xalloc module from CVS gnulib, along with its
	dependencies: exitfail, malloc and realloc. We had different
	semantics for our XFREE and a function xfree() not supplied by
	gnulib, so also a bit of work to keep everything running
	smoothly:

	* configure.ac (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Removed xmalloc and xstrdup.
	(gl_XALLOC): Use gnulib equivalents.
	* gnulib/config/exitfail.m4, gnulib/m4/exitfail.h,
	gnulib/m4/exitfail.c: Import exitfail module from CVS gnulib.
	* gnulib/config/malloc.m4, gnulib/m4/malloc.c: Ditto wrt malloc.
	* gnulib/config/realloc.m4, gnulib/m4/realloc.c: Ditto wrt
	realloc.
	* gnulib/config/xalloc.m4, gnulib/m4/xalloc.h,
	gnulib/m4/xmalloc.c, gnulib/m4/xstrdup.c: Ditto wrt xalloc.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: Add fragment from gnulib for newly
	imported modules.
	(pkgincdir): Removed.  Use pkgincludedir instead.
	* m4/m4private.h (XFREE): xfree already checks for NULL.
	* m4/system_.h: Use xalloc module, and remove macros already
	supplied by xalloc.h.
	* m4/utility.c (xfree): xalloc does not yet implement xfree, so
	moved the old definition from m4/xmalloc.c to here for now.

2003-09-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Import the error and progname modules from CVS gnulib.  Our old
	error.c subsumed the functionality of both, so a little adjustment
	was required to accomodate the split in sources.  Also added more
	wrapper macros to choose between a system installed error.h or our
	shipped gnulib error module:

	* m4/error.c, m4/error.h: Removed.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Adjust.
	(pkgincdir): Removed.  Use pkgincludedir instead.
	* m4/module.h, src/main.c: Don't include `m4/error.h'.
	* m4/system_.h (INCLUDE_ERROR_H): Add a substitution for suitable
	error.h.
	* gnulib/m4/progname.c: Imported from CVS gnulib.
	* gnulib/m4/progname.h: Ditto.
	* src/main.c: Adjust to use progname module.
	* gnulib/m4/error.c: Imported from CVS gnulib.
	* gnulib/m4/error_.h: Ditto.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: Build the error module into our libgnu.la
	if appropriate, and link a local error.h if the system version is
	missing.
	(libgnu_la_SOURCES) Add progname module sources.
	* gnulib/config/error.m4: Imported from CVS gnulib.
	* gnulib/config/strerror_r.m4: Ditto.
	* config/m4-error.c: New file.  Wrap gnulib error.m4 but arrange
	to have ERROR_H for Makefile substitutions and tell system.h
	whether the system error.h should be used, or a locally installed
	version.
	* configure.ac (jm_PREREQ_ERROR): Replaced by a call to m4_ERROR.

2003-09-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Typo
	s/gettext_.h/gettext.h/.

	* bootstrap: Revert 2003-09-04 patch now that CVS autoconf and
	automake have been fixed.

	* config/m4-obstack.m4 (m4_FUNC_OBSTACK): D'oh! Now that we wrap
	gl_OBSTACK, which in turn calls AC_FUNC_OBSTACK, don't rerun bits
	of code originally snarfed from AC_FUNC_OBSTACK!!! While I'm here
	rename to m4_OBSTACK in light of wrapping gl_OBSTACK.

2003-09-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	The gnulib obstack module requires the gnulib gettext module for
	systems that do not have GNU gettext installed.  Because we use
	-Ignulib/m4 in our Makefiles it is not safe to drop gettext.h in
	that directory incase it clashes with the system gettext.h.  This
	delta uses gettext_.h and extra rules in the Makefile to make a
	link to gettext.h when needed:

	* Makefile.am (auxdir): Removed.  No longer used.
	* configure.ac (ac_aux_dir): Removed AC_SUBST.  No longer used.
	(TIMESTAMP): List path to `mkstamp' literally, as ac_aux_dir has
	moved.
	(AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR): Declare this for possible future single
	Makefile based build.
	(AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Now we use gnulib/config where the majority
	of the macros are kept.
	* Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_MFLAGS): Search gnulib/config first.
	* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require 1.7a.
	* config/Makefile (ACLOCAL_MACROS): Removed.  Automake 1.7a
	distributes these automatically.
	* config/regex.m4 (jm_WITH_REGEX): Fixed underquoting to prevent
	warning from automake-1.7a.
	* config/debug.m4 (M4_AC_CHECK_DEBUGGING): Renamed to
	m4_CHECK_DEBUGGING for consistency with gnulib prefixes.  Changed
	all callers.
	* config/m4-obstack.m4 (M4_AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Ditto
	wrt. m4_FUNC_OBSTACK.
	* config/stackovf.m4 (M4_AC_SYS_STACKOVF): Ditto
	wrt. m4_sys_STACKOVF.
	* config/gmp.m4 (_M4_AC_LIB_GMP, M4_AC_LIB_GMP): Ditto
	wrt. _m4_LIB_GMP, m4_LIB_GMP.
	(ac_gmp_save_LIBS, ac_cv_using_lib_gmp): Don't use autoconf's
	namespace.  Renamed to m4_gmp_save_LIBS and m4_cv_using_lib_gmp
	respectively.
	* config/m4-gettext.m4: New file to set GETTEXT_H appropriately.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: Added a new block to make an appropriate
	gettext.h link on deficient systems.
	(pkginc_HEADERS): Mention $(GETTEXT_H).
	(EXTRA_HEADERS): Mention gettext.h.
	* gnulib/config/gettext_.h: New file from gnulib's gettext.h.
	* gnulib/config/codeset.m4, gnulib/config/gettext.m4,
	gnulib/config/glibc21.m4, gnulib/config/iconv.m4,
	gnulib/config/intdiv.m4, gnulib/config/inttypes-pri.m4,
	gnulib/config/inttypes.m4, gnulib/config/inttypes_h.m4,
	gnulib/config/isc-posix.m4, gnulib/config/lcmessage.m4,
	gnulib/config/lib-ld.m4, gnulib/config/lib-link.m4,
	gnulib/config/lib-prefix.m4, gnulib/config/nls.m4,
	gnulib/config/po.m4, gnulib/config/progtest.m4,
	gnulib/config/stdint_h.m4, gnulib/config/uintmax_t.m4,
	gnulib/config/ulonglong.m4: Imported from CVS gnulib.

2003-09-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	We can't mirror the gnulib directory structure here, since we need
	to be able to eg. `#include <m4/obstack.h>' from our source files,
	which is much easier if the local obstack.h is created in a
	directory named m4.  Rather than trying to symlink everything into
	the m4 directory, now we build a libtool convenience library from
	the sources we get from gnulib and link that with libm4.la:

	* gnulib/config/extensions.m4: Imported from CVS gnulib.
	* gnulib/config/unlocked-io.m4: Ditto.
	* gnulib/m4/unlocked-io.h: Ditto.
	* gnulib/m4/obstack.m4, gnulib/m4/onceonly_2_57.m4,
	gnulib/m4/stdbool.m4: All moved to gnulib/config directory.
	* gnulib/lib/obstack.c, gnulib/lib/obstack_.h,
	gnulib/lib/stdbool_.h: All moved to gnulib/m4 directory.
	* m4/strtol.c, m4/xmalloc.c, m4/xstrdup.c, m4/xstrzdup.c: Ditto.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Adjust.
	* gnulib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Name just the additional gnulib
	macros we redistribute.
	* gnulib/m4/Makefile.am: New file.  Build libgnu.la convenience
	library among others.
	(GNULIB_SRCS, GNULIB_MACROS): Removed.
	* Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Adjust.
	* config/m4-obstack.m4: Adjust.
	* po/POTFILES.in: Adjust.
	* configure.ac: Reformatting.  Call newly imported gnulib macros.
	* m4/builtin.c, m4/macro.c, m4/module.c, m4/utility.c: Removed
	bogus calls of `#include "m4.h"'.
	* Makefile.am: INCLUDES has been deprecated in favour of
	AM_CPPFLAGS.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Ditto.
	* modules/Makefile.am: Ditto.
	* src/Makefile.am: Ditto.

2003-09-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* config/Makefile.am: Reverting yesterdays patch for VPATH builds.

2003-09-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Migrate the obstack support into the gnulib directories for easy
	synchronisation with upstream files in gnulib:

	* config/gnu-obstack.m4: Moved from here...
	* config/m4-obstack.m4: ...to here.
	* config/Makefile.am (SPECIFIC_MACROS): Adjust.
	* m4/obstack.c, m4/obstack_.h: Moved from here...
	* gnulib/obstack.c, gnulib/obstack.h: ...to here.
	* po/POTFILES.in: Adjust.
	* gnulib/Makefile.am (GNULIB_SRCS, GNULIB_MACROS): Adjust.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Add a whole new section to link the obstack
	sources from the gnulib tree if necessary.
	* gnulib/m4/onceonly_2_57.m4, gnulib/m4/obstack.m4: New macros
	from gnulib.
	* config/m4-obstack.m4: Rewrite as a wrapper for
	gnulib/m4/obstack.m4.

2003-09-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	GNU M4 currently builds with a number of files adapted from
	upstream sources.  Recently the gnulib project on savannah.gnu.org
	has pulled together a great many of these externally maintained
	files.  This delta is the beginnings of isolating those files
	maintained in gnulib to make it easy to synchronise M4 with the
	upstream files prior to releases.

	* Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Mention gnulib/m4 macro
	directory.
	(SUBDIRS): Added new gnulib subdirectory.
	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add new gnulib tree Makefiles.
	* config/stdbool.m4: Moved from here...
	* gnulib/m4/stdbool.m4: ...to here.
	* m4/stdbool_.h: Moved from here...
	* gnulib/lib/stdbool_.h: ...to here.
	* gnulib/Makefile.am: New file.  Make sure the gnulib tree is
	distributed.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Adjust gnulib/modules/stdbool:Makefile.am based
	code to work with new stdbool_.h location.
	(gnulib_srcdir): New.

2003-09-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* config/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, ACLOCAL_MACROS)
	(STANDARD_TOOLS, SPECIFIC_MACROS): Needed `$(srcdir)/' for VPATH
	builds to work.
	(SPECIFIC_TOOLS): New variable.  Moved mkstamp to here.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Use it.

	* bootstrap: CVS autoreconf leaves file droppings.  Remove
	aclocal.m4t incase autoreconf doesn't.

2003-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/gnu-obstack.h: Updated from CVS gnulib.  For consistency with
	the other gnulib imports, renamed to m4/obstack_.h.
	* m4/obstack.c: Updated from CVS gnulib.
	* m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_HEADERS): Adjust.
	* config/gnu-obstack.m4 (M4_AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Merge in additional
	header tests from gnulib obstack module.  AC_CONFIG_LINKS knows
	about vpath already, and $top_srcdir upsets CVS Automake, so the
	$top_srcdir reference was removed.

	* m4/system-h.in: For consistency with the gnulib imports, renamed
	to m4/system_.h.
	* m4/Makefile (EXTRA_HEADERS): Adjust.
	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Adjust.

	* m4/stdbool_.h: New file from gnulib for systems without their
	own.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Add snippets from gnulib for C99 bool support.
	* config/stdbool.m4: New file.  Macros from gnulib for same.
	* configure.ac: Use it.

	* configure.ac (AC_HEADER_STDBOOL, INCLUDE_STDBOOL_H): Check for
	C99 bool.
	* system-h.in (m4_boolean): Removed in favour of using C99 bool if
	possible or faking one with a typedef.  Changed all callers.

2003-08-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Still cleaning up the users' module API, by taking out the stuff
	that isn't used by any existing modules, and moving specialised
	functions out of libm4 and into the module they are used by.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_skip_space): No need to export this.  Moved...
	* m4/utility.c (m4_skip_space): ...to here the home of its only
	use, made static and renamed to `skip_space'.  Changed all
	callers.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_expand_ranges): Removed prototype.
	* m4/utility.c (m4_expand_ranges): Moved definition from here...
	* modules/m4.c (m4_expand_ranges): ...to here, and exported using
	ltdl.
	* modules/m4.h (m4_expand_ranges_func): For lt_dlsym import
	casting .
	* modules/gnu.c (builtin_syntax): Import and use in this
	builtin implementation.
	* m4/m4module.h (M4_DEBUG_PRINT1, M4_DEBUG_PRINT2, M4_DEBUG_PRINT3):
	Not used.  Deleted.
	* m4/macro.c (trace_flush): Except here where the macro is now
	manually inlined.
	* m4/m4module.h (M4_DEBUG_MESSAGE, M4_DEBUG_MESSAGE1)
	(M4_DEBUG_MESSAGE2, M4_DEBUG_MESSAGE3): Only used internally, so
	moved...
	* m4/m4private.h (M4_DEBUG_MESSAGE, M4_DEBUG_MESSAGE1)
	(M4_DEBUG_MESSAGE2, M4_DEBUG_MESSAGE3): ...to here.

2003-08-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* config/gnu-obstack.m4 (M4_AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Use the interrim new
	compiler based AC_CHECK_HEADER that was introduced in
	autoconf-2.56.
	* config/stackovf.m4 (M4_AC_SYS_STACKOVF): Ditto.
	* config/gmp.m4 (AC_LIB_GMP): Ditto. And renamed to M4_AC_LIB_GMP.
	* configure.ac: Use renamed M4_AC_LIB_GMP.

	* config/debug.m4 (M4_AC_CHECK_DEBUGGING): Don't AC_REQUIRE a
	macro that requires arguments! This stops the shell's bad
	substitution error at configure time.

	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Now we can pass make
	variables to the testsuite shell.  Set the value of USE_GMP so
	that the gmp test will run!
	(check-local, clean-local): Use the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable.

2003-08-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Libltdl already has an excellent mechanism for accessing C symbols
	in modules.  Lets use that!  Remove all the exporting cruft and
	just use lt_dlsym in conjunction with a few conventions to
	simplify module writers' jobs.  Also removed the table address
	caching code and otherwise simplified the module loader quite a
	bit.  To access exported symbols in other modules, first the
	exporting module must name the symbols <modname>_LTX_<symname>,
	and the importing module must define a function type called
	<symname>_func.  The importer then adds
	M4_MODULE_IMPORT(<modname>, <symname>) at the top of any function
	that wishes to call out to the exported functions.  Care must be
	taken that <symname> is non-NULL in the importing module incase
	M4_MODULE_IMPORT fails, but otherwise it can be called as if the
	definition was in the importers source.  Study
	`modules/{gnu.c,m4.{c,h}' for a model example.  At the moment,
	m4_module_import will attempt to automatically load a module
	required for symbol access if it is not loaded already.

	* TODO: Removed the items fixed in this delta.
	* m4/ltdl.c (lt_dlhandle_find): New function to find a handle by
	module name.
	* m4/ltdl.h (lt_dlhandle_find): Declare it.
	* m4/module.c (m4_module_unload): Use it.
	* src/freeze.c (reload_frozen_state): Ditto.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_export): Deleted.  Removed all references.
	(M4_MODULE_IMPORT): New user convenience macro for importing
	arbitrary symbols from other modules.
	* m4/module.c (m4_module_import): New function to service
	M4_MODULE_IMPORT macro.
	(module_data): Removed.  Looking up the tables on demand with
	lt_dlsym, rather than caching their addresses here simplifies the
	code substantially.
	(m4_get_module_builtin_table, m4_get_module_macro_table):
	Removed.  Changed all callers.
	(set_module_macro_table, set_module_builtin_table): Renamed to
	install_macro_table and install_builtin_table respectively, and
	simplified now that the cache is no more.
	* modules/gnu.c (builtin_symbols): Use this new mechanism to
	import m4_dump_symbols from the m4 module.
	(builtin_esyscmd): Likewise for m4_set_sysval and
	m4_sysval_flush.
	* modules/m4.c (m4_export_table): Removed.  Functions are
	addressed with the new mechanism which doesn't need this.
	(m4_set_sysval): New exported accessor function to prevent
	problems with variable access on inferior architectures.
	* modules/m4.h (m4_sysval_flush_func, m4_set_sysval_func)
	(m4_dump_symbols_func): Typedefs required by M4_MODULE_IMPORT so
	that we can have some type safety.
	* modules/modtest.c (export_test): C level exported function for
	testing the new import mechanism.
	* modules/import.c: New file for the import end of the test.
	* modules/Makefile.am (pkglibexec_LTLIBRARIES): Added import.la.
	* tests/modules.at: New test cases for intermodule symbol
	importing.

2003-08-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/m4module.c (m4_string): Moved from here...
	* m4/m4private.c (m4_string): ...to here.

	* m4/utility.c (dumpdef_cmp): Removed stale declaration.

2003-07-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/m4module.h (M4_DEFAULT_NESTING_LIMIT): This value is
	already available to module writers through
	m4_{get,set}_nesting_limit_opt(), so moved from here...
	* m4/m4.c (DEFAULT_NESTING_LIMIT): ...to here and renamed.
	(m4_create): Use it.

2003-07-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Aside from auditing path.c for m4module.h api obfuscation, this
	delta introduces the concept of private struct members in opaque
	data types to GNU m4: See the STYLE file for details.

	* TODO: Remind ourselves that a rewrite of path.c is needed.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_search_path, struct m4_search_path_info):
	Moved from here...
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__search_path, m4__search_path_info): ...to
	here and renamed.  These type definitions are for internal api use
	only.  Changed all callers.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_search_path_env_init, m4_search_path_add):
	Moved from here...
	* m4/path.c (search_path_env_init, search_path_add): ...to here
	and renamed.  These calls were never used outside this file.
	Changed all callers.
	(dirpath): Moved functionality of this static declaration...
	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4): ...to this new internal only
	search_path field.  Changed all callers.
	(m4__get_search_path): Added new internal api accessor.
	* m4/path.c (m4_search_path_info_new):  Removed.  Not used.
	(m4_include_init): Removed...
	* m4/m4.c (m4_create): ...because the new m4 field is now
	initialised here.
	(m4_delete): Recycle search_path memory.
	* src/main.c (main): Don't call m4_include_init now that it's
	gone!
	* doc/STYLE: Document convention for private fields in opaque
	ADTs.

	Sometimes exporting the address of a symbol from a module isn't
	enough for other modules to call that symbol correctly.  If
	custom data types are used for function parameters, they need to
	be known to the caller.  This change introduces the concept of
	$(prefix)/include/modules/$(modulename).h to declare those
	structures.  Also we move m4_dump_symbols from libm4 to the m4
	module to show this concept in action.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_dump_symbol_data): Moved from here...
	* modules/m4.h (m4_dump_symbol_data): ...to this new file for
	exporting data structures from modules/m4.c.
	* modules/m4.c, modules/gnu.c: Include it.
	* modules/Makefile.am (pkgmodinc_HEADERS): Install it.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_dump_symbol_CB, m4_dump_symbols): Removed
	prototypes.
	* m4/utility.c (dumpdef_cmp, m4_dump_symbol_CB, m4_dump_symbols):
	Moved from here...
	* modules/m4.c (dumpdef_cmp_CB, dump_symbol_CB, m4_dump_symbols):
	...to here, with slight renaming.
	(m4_export_table): Prototype and add m4_dump_symbols.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_is_symbol_value_void): Needed for an external
	definition of m4_dump_symbols.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_is_symbol_value_void): Prototype it.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_is_symbol_value_void): Fast macro version.

2003-07-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Create an export table in modules/m4.c in readiness for beefing up
	the module loader to track module exports and imports.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_debug_flush_files): Removed prototype.
	* m4/debug.c (m4_debug_flush_files): Moved...
	* modules/m4.c (m4_sysval_flush): ...to here and renamed.
	* modules/gnu.c (builtin_esysval): Use it.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_export): New type for declaring module symbols
	for export.
	* modules/m4.c (m4_export_table): List symbols exported from this
	module for use by other modules.

2003-07-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	An experiment: There is loads of code in libm4 which should be in
	the m4 module, but is also used by another module. Just because
	some linkers won't cope with calls across dynamic runtime loaded
	objects I initially left the code in libm4.  It will tidy the
	module api immensely if this code moves to the right place, I just
	need to remember to invent a suitable calling mechanism at some
	point.  For now, only modules that are statically linked and
	preloaded will get this treatment, so the only platforms that will
	break are those that require all symbols to be resolved at link
	time.

	* TODO: Reminder that what I am doing could reduce portability
	unless I do something more robust later.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_sysval): No longer exported from libm4.
	* m4/utility.c (m4_sysval): No longer declared in libm4.
	* modules/Makefile.am: Reformatting.
	* modules/m4.c (m4_sysval): Declare it at place of use.
	* modules/gnu.c (m4_sysval): Import it for use in esyscmd.

2003-07-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/m4module.h: Reformatting and rearranging lines a bit.

	(m4_macro_call, m4_macro_expand_input): ...to these.  Changed all
	callers.

	* m4/macro.c (expansion_level, process_macro): ...to here, and
	made static.

	* m4/m4module.h (program_name): Not used by modules at all, so
	moved...
	* src/main.c (program_name): ...to here.
	(print_program_name): Renamed...
	(print_program_name_CB): ...to conform to the STYLE guide.

2003-07-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	More refactoring of the m4module.h API.  Replace #defines with an
	enum, and move non-public functions out of the public API.

	* m4/debug.c (stdarg.h, varargs.h): Remove variadic header
	inclusion.
	* m4/macro.c (stdarg.h): Add ANSI C variadic header.
	* m4/debug.c (m4_debug, trace): Moved...
	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4): ...to fields of this struct.
	(m4_get_debug_file, m4_get_trace_messages): New fast access macros
	for the new fields.
	* m4/debug.c (m4_debug_init, m4_debug_exit): Removed functions...
	* src/main.c (m4_debug_init, m4_debug_exit): ...invocations...
	* m4/m4.c (m4_create, m4_delete): ...and handled here instead.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_context_field_table): Add entries for new
	debug_file and trace_messages fields.

	* m4/debug.c (m4_trace_format, m4_trace_header, m4_trace_flush)
	(m4_trace_prepre, m4_trace_pre, m4_trace_post): Moved...
	* m4/macro.c (trace_format, trace_header, trace_flush)
	(trace_prepre, trace_pre, trace_post): ...to these newly static
	functions, since they are only ever used from this file.  Changed
	all callers.

2003-07-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Change the macros for checking syntax so that matching against
	multiple possible syntax classes can be done with a single
	comparison some of the time.  The various classes are now bits of
	an int that can be checked with bitwise logic operators.

	* m4/m4module.h (M4_SYNTAX_IGNORE, M4_SYNTAX_OTHER)
	(M4_SYNTAX_SPACE, M4_SYNTAX_OPEN, M4_SYNTAX_CLOSE, M4_SYNTAX_COMMA)
	(M4_SYNTAX_DOLLAR, M4_SYNTAX_ACTIVE, M4_SYNTAX_ESCAPE)

	Replace all calls with invocations of these...
	(m4_is_syntax, m4_has_syntax): ...New macros.
	* src/freeze.c (produce_syntax_dump): Remove mask argument, which
	is no longer required with new macros.  Changed all callers.

2003-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/input.c (CHAR_EOF, CHAR_BUILTIN, CHAR_RETRY): These token
	values are returned as part of the internal interface, so they
	need to be moved...
	* m4/private.h: ...to here.
	* m4/macro.c (expand_token): Check for out of range
	m4_peek_input() results before looking up in the syntax table.
	(collect_arguments): Ditto.

	* NEWS: Note `$' syntax class.

2003-07-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com> and
	    Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Conform to POSIX if the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment is set.
	--traditional `define' now smashes all the definitions.

	* NEWS: Explain this.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Defn): `defn' takes any number of arguments.
	(Extensions): Explain that extensions that are incompatible with
	POSIX are disabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.

	between GNU and POSIX behavior of define, pushdef, popdef.

	not to slow the parser down.
	(M4__IS_STRING): New macro to test string syntax class membership.

	(Eval): Typo.

2003-06-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Move the global variables that pertain to syntax to a new `struct
	m4_syntax_table', and then add one of these to `struct m4'.  The
	ripple effect through the code to both change formerly global
	references, and make sure a suitable context is available in
	lexical scope is disproportionately large compared to the size of
	the change proper.  This change is a large part of decoupling
	syntax.c from the rest of the code that uses it.

	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4): Add a syntax field.
	* m4/m4.c (m4_create): Initialise it,
	(m4_delete): Recycle it.
	(m4_get_symtab): Remove hand coded version...
	(m4_get_symbol_table): ...and generate this with cpp.  Changed all
	callers.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_context_field_table): Add an extra field so we
	can generate m4_get_symbol_table.  Add a new row for
	m4_get_syntax_table.
	(M4SYNTAX): Syntactic sugar for module writers.
	(m4_symtab): Renamed to m4_symbol_table.  Changed all callers.
	(m4_syntax_table): New home for syntax related formerly global
	variables.
	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4_syntax_table): Define it.
	* m4/input.c (m4_input_init): Initialisation of these formerly
	global variables moved...
	* m4/syntax.c (m4_syntax_create): ...to here.
	* m4/input.c (m4_input_exit): And similarly, recycling of the
	memory used by those values moved...
	* m4/syntax.c (m4_syntax_delete): ...to here.
	* m4/m4module.h (DEF_LQUOTE, DEF_RQUOTE, DEF_BCOMM, DEF_ECOMM):
	Moved to m4/m4private.h.
	* m4/syntax.c (m4_get_syntax_lquote, m4_get_syntax_rquote)
	(m4_get_syntax_bcomm, m4_get_syntax_ecomm)
	(m4_is_syntax_single_quotes, m4_is_syntax_single_comments)
	(m4_is_syntax_macro_escaped): New accessors for m4_syntax_table
	objects.  Changed all callers that used to directly access the
	global equivalents.
	(m4__single_quotes, m4__single_comments, m4__use_macro_escape):
	Removed and incorporated into m4_syntax_table structure.
	* m4/utility.c (lquote, rquote, bcomm, ecomm): Ditto.
	* m4/syntax.c (m4_set_syntax): Now returns an error status,
	instead of requiring a `struct m4' to generate its own errors.
	Changed all callers.
	* src/main.c (main): Now that the syntax table is initialised as
	part of m4_create, we have to manually wipe the syntax entries if
	we are about to read a frozen file.

2003-06-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* doc/STYLE: Added notes on callback naming schemes.

	* m4/module.c (m4_set_module_macro_table)
	(m4_set_module_builtin_table): Declarations weren't changed when
	definitions were renamed on 2003-06-19.

	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_resize): ifdefed out.  This function is
	neither used nor particularly appropriate since it exposes the
	internal workings of the hash module.  I haven't yet decided
	whether to remove it entirely.

2003-06-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Two related changes, and a huge knockon effect throughout the
	source: Moved the option variables out of global space and into
	`struct m4'; made `m4_symtab' a real datatype, so that its api
	is not marred passing `struct m4' around just so it can decide
	whether to keep traced symbol names or not.  Added setters and
	getters for the formerly global option variables, and obviously
	changed a vast number of functions to take a `struct m4' and use
	the getter funcs to find option values.

	* m4/utility.c (interactive, sync_output, debug_level)
	(no_gnu_extensions, prefix_all_builtins, suppress_warnings)
	(max_debug_argument_length, warning_status, nesting_limit)
	(discard_comments): Removed.
	* m4/m4module (warning_status, no_gnu_extensions, nesting_limit)
	(debug_level, max_debug_argument_length, prefix_all_builtins)
	(suppress_warnings, discard_comments, interactive, sync_output):
	Removed from here...
	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4): ...and equivalent fields added to
	this structure.
	(m4_get_warning_status_opt, m4_get_no_gnu_extensions_opt)
	(m4_get_nesting_limit_opt, m4_get_debug_level_opt)
	(m4_get_max_debug_arg_length_opt, m4_get_prefix_builtins_opt)
	(m4_get_suppress_warnings_opt, m4_get_discard_comments_opt)
	(m4_get_interactive_opt, m4_get_sync_output_opt): Fast access
	macros for the new fields.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_context_field_table)
	(m4_context_opt_bit_table): Helper macros used to generate
	prototypes, setters and getters for new option fields
	consistently.
	* m4/m4.c (m4_get_warning_status_opt, m4_get_no_gnu_extensions_opt)
	(m4_get_nesting_limit_opt, m4_get_debug_level_opt)
	(m4_get_max_debug_arg_length_opt, m4_get_prefix_builtins_opt)
	(m4_get_suppress_warnings_opt, m4_get_discard_comments_opt)
	(m4_get_interactive_opt, m4_get_sync_output_opt)
	(m4_set_warning_status_opt, m4_set_no_gnu_extensions_opt)
	(m4_set_nesting_limit_opt, m4_set_debug_level_opt)
	(m4_set_max_debug_arg_length_opt, m4_set_prefix_builtins_opt)
	(m4_set_suppress_warnings_opt, m4_set_discard_comments_opt)
	(m4_set_interactive_opt, m4_set_sync_output_opt): Addressable
	setter and getter functions generated by cpp from
	m4_context_field_table and m4_context_opt_bit_table, exported as
	part of the module api.  Changed all callers.
	* m4/symtab (struct m4_symtab): Used as the concrete type for
	m4_symtab now.
	(m4_symtab_create): Allocate and initialise a new struct.
	(m4_symtab_apply): New function that works like m4_hash_apply, but
	with different callbacks specific to symbol tables.  Changed all
	callers.
	(symbol_destroy, arg_destroy, arg_copy): Renamed
	symbol_destroy_CB, arg_destroy_CB, arg_copy_CB to remind me that
	they have unused parameters for a reason!
	(dump_symbol_CB): New callback to dump the contents of a single
	symbol.
	(symtob_dump): Rewritten in terms of dump_symbol_CB.
	* m4/utility.c (m4_dump_symbol): Renamed to m4_dump_symbol_CB.
	Changed all callers.
	* m4/m4.c (m4_create): By default point the `nuke_trace_bit' field
	of the contained `m4_symtab' at the `no_gnu_extensions' field.
	Although I'm not convinced these semantics are correct, they are
	at least consistent with how things were before this delta.  Also
	set the default nesting limit to M4_DEFAULT_NESTING_LIMIT.

2003-06-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Tie down the interface to libm4 some more.  Make more structures
	opaque to modules by moving them to m4private.h, and writing
	setters and getters.  To win back the speed penalty for doing this
	also wrote macroized versions that do know about structure layout
	in m4private.h and #include that file into modules when NDEBUG is
	defined at compile time.  There are still some accessor macros in
	m4private.h that need to go, but that is not necessary to clean
	the module api up.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_symbol_type): Moved...
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__symbol_type): ...to here.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_get_symbol_value, m4_get_symbol_traced)
	(m4_set_symbol_traced, m4_set_symbol_name_traced)
	(m4_is_symbol_text, m4_is_symbol_func, m4_get_symbol_text)
	(m4_get_symbol_func, m4_symbol_value_create)
	(m4_symbol_value_delete, m4_set_symbol_value_text)
	(m4_set_symbol_value_func): New exported api to symbols.
	(m4_get_symbol_value_type): Replaced by m4_is_symbol_value_text
	and m4_is_symbol_value_func.
	* m4/m4module.h: Prototype these guys.
	* m4/module.c (m4_set_module_macro_table)
	(m4_set_module_builtin_table): Make these static, there is no
	reason to pollute the api with them.
	* m4/m4private.h: Reformatting.
	(m4_get_symtab): Only define when NDEBUG is defined.
	(m4_get_symbol_value, m4_get_symbol_traced)
	(m4_set_symbol_traced, m4_set_symbol_name_traced)
	(m4_is_symbol_text, m4_is_symbol_func, m4_get_symbol_text)
	(m4_get_symbol_func, m4_symbol_value_create)
	(m4_symbol_value_delete, m4_set_symbol_value_text)
	(m4_set_symbol_value_func): Macro implementations of the new
	functions when NDEBUG is defined.
	(SYMBOL_TRACED, SYMBOL_VALUE, SYMBOL_TYPE, SYMBOL_TEXT)
	(SYMBOL_FUNC, VALUE_TYPE, VALUE_TEXT, VALUE_FUNC): Removed.
	Superceded by the above.  All callers changed.
	(M4ARG): Removed.  This is no longer different to the
	m4/m4module.h definition.
	* modules/gnu.c, modules/m4.c: Only include m4private.h when
	NDEBUG is defined.  That way we exercise the same (albeit slower)
	api that external modules must use.

2003-06-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Renamed some of the types and their accessors to make more sense.
	Now we have a SYMTAB in which we store SYMBOLs, and each SYMBOL
	has a stack of SYMBOL_VALUEs.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_token, m4_get_token_type, m4_get_token_text)
	(m4_get_token_func, m4_token_copy): Renamed to m4_symbol_value,
	m4_get_symbol_value_type,  m4_get_symbol_value_text,
	m4_get_symbol_value_func and m4_symbol_value_copy respectively.
	Changed all callers.
	(m4_symbol_type): s/M4_TOKEN_/M4_SYMBOL_/
	(m4_get_token_type): Renamed
	* m4/input.c (m4_next_token): Renamed to m4__next_token, and moved
	to the internal api.
	* m4/m4private.h: s/TOKEN_ARG_/SYMBOL_ARG_/
	s/TOKEN_/VALUE_/
	(m4__symtab_init, m4__symtab_exit): Removed prototypes.
	(m4_token_arg): Renamed to m4_symbol_arg. Changed all callers.
	(m4__token_type): Moved here from m4module.h.
	(m4__next_token): Renamed from m4_next_token.
	* m4/symtab.c: Removed some of the parameterised macro support
	functions for modularisation later.
	(m4_token_copy): Renamed to m4_symbol_value_copy, and use new
	m4_hash_dup to perform a true deep copy of the SRC.
	(arg_copy): Callback for m4_symbol_value_copy.
	* utility.c (m4_token_get_type, m4_token_text, m4_token_func):
	Renamed to m4_get_symbol_value_type, m4_get_symbol_value_text and
	m4_get_symbol_value_func.  Changed all callers.

2003-06-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Tidy up style of hash.[ch] in accordance with doc/STYLE.

	* m4/hash.c: Internal symbol renaming and formatting.
	(m4_hash_dup): New function to facilitate deep copies of hash
	tables.
	(m4_hash_apply_func): Returns a void* now, which is a richer type
	for returning exceptions (NULL means keep going).
	(m4_hash_apply): Ditto.
	* m4/hash.h: Declare exported symbols with an explicit extern.
	Reformated.

2003-06-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Still refactoring furiously.  This delta represents a change in
	semantics to symtab.c.  Instead of building temporary m4_tokens
	in the caller, and copying fields in the methods, we now create
	the actual m4_token for hashing in the caller so the methods just
	slot them in directly.  Also, this means that we don't lookup a
	symbol and get back an allocated but VOID token to copy fields
	into, we create the token we want to push and pass that to
	m4_symbol_define or m4_symbol_pushdef.  And that's it.  There are
	a few other small changes to stop knowledge of the implementation
	of symtab.c leaking out into other files.

	* m4/macro.c (expand_argument): Comment typo corrected.
	* m4/symtab.c (symtab_fetch): New function to fetch the address of
	an interned symbol.
	(m4_symbol_pushdef): Take an extra value parameter and use this
	directly as the new top of the value stack.  All callers changed
	to build a token and pass responsibility for memory in, rather
	than copying as we used to.
	(m4_symbol_define): Also use the new value parameter directly as a
	replacement for the top of the value stack.  All callers changed
	to build a token as above.
	(m4_set_symbol_traced): New function to set the traced bit on the
	named symbol, creating it if necessary.
	(symbol_popval): The guts of the old m4_symbol_popdef.
	(m4_symbol_popdef): Use it.
	* m4/builtin.c (m4_symbol_set_token): Removed,
	(m4__symbol_set_builtin, m4__symbol_set_macro): Removed and
	replaced...
	* m4/module.c (m4_set_module_builtin_table)
	(m4_set_module_macro_table): ...with these more orthogonal
	functions.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_macro_pushdef, m4_macro_define)
	(m4_builtin_pushdef, m4_builtin_define): Removed.  No longer
	required.
	* m4/builtin.c (M4_ARG_SIGNATURE_DEFAULT_SIZE)
	(m4_arg_signature_parse): Moved...
	* m4/symtab.c: ...to here.
	* m4/input.c (m4_token_copy): Arghh... I'm amazed this didn't
	screw something up. Moved...
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_token_copy): ...to here, and fixed so that it
	actually does a proper deep copy of source to dest.

2003-06-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Further refactoring to stabilise the module API.  Renaming some
	functions for orthogonality, and judicious definition migration to
	move things out of the set of exported symbols.

	* doc/STYLE: New file.  Notes on coding style.
	* m4/m4module.c: Updated bitrotted docucomment at the top of the
	file.
	(m4_module_name, m4_module_builtins, m4_module_macros): Renamed to
	m4_get_module_name, m4_get_module_builtin_table,
	m4_get_module_macro_table which are verb phrases.  Changed all
	callers.
	* m4/builtin.c (m4_builtin_table_install, m4_macro_table_install):
	Moved to...
	* m4/module.c (m4_set_module_builtin_table)
	(m4_set_module_macro_table): ...here, and renamed. Changed all
	callers.
	* m4/m4module.c (m4_module_data): This...
	* m4/m4private.c (struct m4_module_data): ...and this...
	* m4/module.c (module_data) ...consolidated here and no longer
	exported.  Changed all callers.

2003-06-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Begin work on lifting the curse of the global variables.  To start
	with create a `struct m4' context container, and replace
	`m4__symtab' with `context->symtab' throughout.  This means
	initialising a context container in main, and adjusting many
	functions between main and the module entry points so that the
	container gets passed through.  It would have been nice to
	defer this until after 1.5, but it has a major effect on the
	user's module writing ABI, so it needs to be addressed now - at
	least in the areas that impact the ABI.  An interrelated change
	in the symtab API removes the dependency on a global symbol table,
	and instead focuses on a passed table (from the context
	container).

	* TODO: Reminders for finishing context functionality.
	* m4/Makefile.am (libm4_la_SOURCES): Add m4.c.
	* m4/m4.c: New file. Manage new struct m4 objects to eliminate
	global variables and eventually allow m4 to be reentrant.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4): Define the new structure here...
	(M4_SYMTAB, m4_get_symtab): ...so we can have fast accessors that
	don't carry the overhead of a function call.
	* m4/m4module.h: Prototype extern functions from m4/m4.c.
	(m4): Declare type for new struct m4 objects.
	(M4SYMTAB): User macro to ease finding the symbol table for the
	current context for module developers.
	(m4_symbol_token): Renamed to m4_symbol_set_token which contains a
	verb.
	(M4_BUILTIN, m4_builtin_func, M4_BUILTIN_HANDLER)
	(m4_builtin_define, m4_builtin_pushdef, m4_builtin_table_install)
	(m4_call_macro, m4_dump_symbols, m4_expand_input)
	(M4_FINISH_HANDLER, M4_INIT_HANDLE, m4_macro_define)
	(m4_macro_pushdef, m4_macro_table_install, m4_module_load)
	(m4_module_unload, m4_process_macro, m4_symbol_set_token): Add an
	m4* context parameter. Changed definitions and all callers.
	(m4_symtab): Alias for m4_hash to decouple the
	m4_symtab api from m4_hash.
	(m4_symtab_apply, m4_symtab_apply_func): Use m4_symtab instead of
	m4_hash.
	(m4_symtab_create): New function to return an initialised
	m4_symtab.
	(m4_symtab_delete): New function to delete an m4_symtab's memory.
	(m4_symbol_define, m4_symbol_delete, m4_symbol_lookup)
	(m4_symbol_popdef, m4_symbol_pushdef): Add an m4_symtab parameter
	instead of simply using the global m4__symtab.  Changed
	definitions and all callers.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__symtab_remove_module_references): Ditto.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4__symtab_init, m4__symtab_exit): Removed.
	* src/main.c (main): Create a context and use that instead of the
	former global m4__symtab.

2003-06-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_apply): Pass an initial hash table parameter
	to the callback.  Callbacks should not need to hardcode the
	hashtable they are working from, nor should we have to waste the
	userdata parameter to pass the table in.
	* m4/hash.h (m4_hash_apply_func): Require the initial table
	parameter.
	* m4/symtab.c (symtab_destroy): Use the passed table instead
	of hardcoding m4__symtab.
	(m4_symbol_popdef): Don't use the userdata parameter to pass the
	table to arg_destroy.
	(arg_destroy): Use the hash parameter, ignore userdata.
	* modules/m4.c (set_trace): Make it fit the m4_hash_apply_func
	prototype.
	(traceon, traceoff): Call set_trace with the extra initial
	parameter.

2003-06-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	More refactoring to stabilise the module api, this time for
	symtab.c.  Additionally, start to pay attention to function names
	that don't contain a verb like they should.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_symtab_apply): Reintroduced this function as a
	wrapper for m4_hash_apply to decouple the symtab module from the
	hash module.
	(m4_symbol_builtin, m4_symbol_macro): Renamed to
	m4__symbol_set_builtin and m4__symbol_set_macro.  Changed all
	callers.
	(m4_symbol_delete): Create a macro version to save a function
	call.
	(m4_token_t, m4_data_t): These violate the POSIX reserved
	namespace.  Renamed to m4_token_type and m4_symbol_type. Changed
	all callers.
	(m4_token_type): Renamed to m4_token_get_type.
	(m4_symtab, m4_symtab_init, m4_symtab_remove_module_references)
	(m4_symtab_exit): Removed from the exported module
	api...
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__symtab, m4__symtab_init)
	(m4__symtab_remove_module_references, m4__symtab_exit): ...and
	renamed and added to the internal api. Changed all callers.
	(m4_symtab_apply): A faster macro version of the function for
	users of the internal api.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_destroy, m4_arg_destroy): Renamed to
	symbol_destroy and arg_destroy.
	(symtab_debug): Added a prototype.
	(m4_symtab_apply, m4_symbol_delete): Moved to the end of the file
	so that callers in this file get the faster macro versions from
	m4/m4private.h.

2003-06-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Refactoring modules to rationalise the API into an external
	documented (eventually!) API for use by modules in the `m4_'
	namespace declared in m4/m4module.h, an internal API between the
	source files we ship (including our shipped modules) in the `m4__'
	namespace declared in m4/m4private.h and making the rest as
	cohesive as possible with liberal use of the `static' keyword.
	This change represents an audit to m4/module.c along these
	guidelines.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_module_close_all, m4_module_find_by_builtin):
	Removed.  No longer used.
	(m4_module_close): Removed prototypes.
	(m4_module_init, m4_module_open, m4_module_unload_all): Removed
	from the exported module api...
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__module_init, m4__module_open)
	(m4__module_exit): ...and renamed and added to the internal api.
	Changed all callers.
	(BUILTIN_SYMBOL, MACRO_SYMBOL, INIT_SYMBOL, FINISH_SYMBOL):
	Centralised definitions after renaming...
	* m4/module.c (M4_BUILTIN_SYMBOL, M4_MACRO_SYMBOL, M4_INIT_SYMBOL)
	(M4_FINISH_SYMBOL): ...and removing from here.
	(m4_module_dlerror, m4_module_remove, m4_module_close)
	(m4_caller_id): Not exported at all, so renamed to module_dlerror,
	module_remove, module_close and caller_id.
	(MODULE_SELF_NAME): New macro to make reporting self errors
	easier.
	(m4_module_load, module_close, module_remove): Use it.
	* m4/m4private.h (USER_MODULE_PATH_ENV): Macro to hold "M4MODPATH"
	name.
	* src/main.c (main): Use it.

2003-06-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* README: Remove references to --enable-changeword, which has been
	removed from the code.

2003-06-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Getting rid of the annoying bug with configure --enable-debug,
	which spewed -e: command not found errors.  This was an interaction
	between libtool-1.5's LT_AC_COMPILER_OPTION, and config/debug.m4.
	You'll need to re-bootstrap the m4 tree with cvs libtool (HEAD or
	branch-1-5) to get the full fix.

	* config/debug.m4 (M4_AC_CHECK_DEBUGGING): Require libtools version
	of AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION (which now requires LT_AC_PROG_SED),
	and then use the probed value of $SED.
	(AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION): Removed. Don't conditionally define
	this, it messes up the AC_REQUIRE stack.

2003-06-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_popdef): Need to pass the hash address to
	the destroy callback.
	(m4_arg_destroy): Use the hash address to free the hash node key
	field.

2003-06-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	First cut at formal parameters in macros.

	* configure.ac (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Add xstrzdup.
	* m4/xstrzdup.c: New file.
	* m4/builtin.c (M4_ARG_SIGNATURE_DEFAULT_SIZE): Start size for
	associative array of parameter names to details.
	(m4_symbol_token): Capture macro names with parameter lists.
	(m4_arg_signature_parse): And build an associative array to hang
	from the symbol structure to map names to details.
	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_new): Break the m4_hash_new followed by
	m4_hash_resize idiom.  Now that we potentially add a little hash
	table to many of the entries in the symbol table, added an extra
	arg to set the initial size.  Changed all callers.
	(m4_hash_apply): New function that is basically a generalised
	version of...
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_apply): ...this.  Now deleted.  Adjusted
	all callers to call m4_hash_apply instead.
	(m4_arg_destroy): Recycle memory used by an m4_token_arg.
	(m4_symbol_popdef): Use m4_arg_destroy to help recycle the
	m4_arg_signature association that might be attached to the symbol,
	* m4/hash.h (m4_hash_apply_func): Replacement type for...
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_symtab_apply_func): ...this.  Now deleted.
	(M4_SYNTAX_ASSIGN): Placeholder for assigning default values in
	parameter lists.
	(M4_IS_ASSIGN): Detect characters with M4_SYNTAX_ASSIGN syntax.
	(M4_IS_IDENT): Detect characters that can be safely used in
	parameter names.
	* m4/syntax.c (m4_syntax_init): Add an M4_SYNTAX_ASSIGN character.
	* m4/macro.c: Corrected grammar in some comments.  Use `token'
	rather than `td' for m4_token variables.
	(m4_process_macro): If we find a dollar followed by some
	M4_IS_IDENT characters, replace that with the contents of the argv
	entry with offset stored in the m4_token_arg associated with the
	collected identifier.

2003-06-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Begin preparations for supporting formal parameters in m4 macros.

	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4_token_arg): Placeholder for holding
	the details of a formal parameter.
	(m4_token): Add an arg_signature member to hold a hash table for
	looking up formal parameters.
	* m4/input.c: Update more bitrotted comments.
	(m4_push_builtin): Initialise arg_signature member.
	(init_builtin_token): Copy arg_signature member.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_builtin_pushdef, m4_builtin_define)
	(m4_macro_pushdef, m4_macro_define): Rewritten as macros to
	replace...
	* m4/builtin.c (m4_builtin_pushdef, m4_builtin_define)
	(m4_macro_pushdef, m4_macro_define): ...these, And...
	(m4_symbol_token): ...wrapped around this new function, which
	vastly simplifies the arguments required by the functions it
	replaces.
	Changed all callers.

2003-06-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/macro.c: Format changes.

2003-06-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/input.c: Updated various bitrotted comments.
	(m4_push_builtin): Just pass the whole m4_token, rather than
	extracting all the fields in the caller.  This also allows us to
	check the token type for consistency.
	(macro_funcs, macro_peek, macro_read, m4_push_macro, CHAR_MACRO):
	Renamed to builtin_funcs, builtin_peek, builtin_read,
	m4_push_builtin and CHAR_BUILTIN for consistency with the rest of
	the code.  Changed all callers.
	(struct input_block): Similarly renamed u_m member to u_b, and
	changed all callers.
	(m4_next_token): Use bzero to initialise the data fields.
	* m4/m4module (m4_push_macro): Renamed to m4_push_builtin.

2003-05-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	These changes were necessary to get m4 to build on my iBook
	running "powerpc-apple-darwin6.6" using Apples build of gcc "gcc
	(GCC) 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)":

	* src/main.c: Don't include dlfcn.h, ltdl.h handles correct
	inclusion of module loader headers.
	* modules/Makefile.am: Use AM_LDFLAGS, not LDFLAGS.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Ditto.
	(libm4_la_LIBADD): Added $(LTLIBINTL).

	(m4_call_macro, m4_process_macro, m4_syntax_table, m4_current_file)
	(m4_current_line, m4_current_diversion, m4_output_current_line):
	Don't rely on default, use an explicit extern.
	* m4/error.h (error, error_at_line, error_print_progname)
	(error_message_count, error_one_per_line): Ditto.
	* m4/ltdl.c: Update from CVS libtool.

2002-05-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Preparations for refactoring syntax tables to allow reverse
	lookups [fetch me a M4_SYNTAX_OPEN], without compromising the
	speed of normal lookups in an array of unsigned short.

	* m4/input.c (single_quotes, single_comments, use_macro_escape):
	Moved from here...
	* m4/m4private.h (m4__single_quotes, m4__single_comments,
	m4__use_macro_escape): ...to here, and renamed.  The `m4__' prefix
	is for internal symbols which unavoidably pollute the global
	namespace, but are not published APIs.
	Adjusted all callers.
	* m4/input.c (m4_syntax_init, m4_syntax_code, m4_set_quotes,
	m4_set_comment, m4_set_syntax, set_syntax_internal,
	unset_syntax_attribute): Moved from this file...
	* m4/syntax.c: New. ...to this file.
	Also added an m4_syntax_exit stub for orthogonality.
	* src/main.c (main): Use it.
	* m4/Makefile.am (libm4_la_SOURCES): Add syntax.c.
	* m4/m4module.h: Reformatting.  New prototypes.

2002-05-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* bootstrap (aclocal_apiversion): The aclocal apiversion is
	distinct from the automake release number (in that the apiversion
	apparently has no micro-version-component).
	(aclocal_apilibdir): Use it.

2002-05-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_resize): New function.
	* m4/hash.h: Add prototype.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symtab_init):  Use it.  This could do with some
	benchmarking to find a good value for, say, autoconf.  This is
	already a little quicker than before for me.

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symtab_hash, m4_symtab_cmp): Moved from here...

	* bootstrap: s/configure.in/configure.ac/

2001-10-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_destroy): This function calls
	m4_symbol_popdef, which recycles a symbols memory when the last
	definition is popped.  Since we were passing the address of the
	symbol name found in the symbol table, and it was being removed
	partway through m4_symbol_destroy() we were referencing freed
	memory for the balance of the function.  Now we take a copy of the
	symbol name tring and use that as a key into the symbol
	table... that way if the original symbol name is freed, the copy
	is still valid.

2001-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* m4/utility.c (m4_bad_argc): Display user argument counts, i.e.,
	exclude the builtin name from the count.
	* modules/m4.c (ifelse): Do not use the regular argc mechanism, as
	calling ifelse with a single argument is valid.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Ifelse): Add an example where ifelse is invoked
	with 1 and 2 args, mostly to strengthen the test suite.

2001-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* m4/output.c (m4_make_diversion, m4_insert_file)
	(m4_insert_diversion, +m4_freeze_diversions): Ansify.

2001-10-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/input.c (init_builtin_token):  Renamed from init_macro_token,
	since we call these things builtins in the rest of the code!

	* modules/gnu.c (m4_regexp_compile): s/%0/%s/

2001-10-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Rather than forcing each builtin definition to manage its own
	argument range checking, tabulate the maxima and minima for all
	builtins in each module.  This forces us to consider what the
	valid ranges for each builtin should be, and moves the checking
	code out of each builtin implementation and into the builtin
	caller infrastructure.

	* m4/m4module.h (struct m4_builtin): Add argument minima and
	maxima.
	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4_token): Reflect them here too.
	* m4/input.c (struct input_block): ...and here.
	(m4_token_copy): New function for token copying.
	(init_macro_token): Copy them from a token to the input stack.
	(m4_next_token): Don't forget to initialise them for text
	macros.
	* m4/macro.c (expand_argument): Use m4_token_copy, and also
	check argument counts before calling the builtin handler.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_builtin): Take minima and maxima params.
	(m4_symbol_macro): Likewise.
	* m4/builtin.c (m4_builtin_pushdef): Add min_args and max_args
	parameters.  Updated all callers.
	(m4_builtin_define): Ditto.
	(m4_macro_pushdef, m4_macro_define): Ditto.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_builtin, m4_symbol_define): Ditto.
	* modules/evalparse.c:  Declare argument counts for defined
	builtins and remove explicit calls to m4_bad_argc().
	* modules/gnu.c: Ditto.
	* modules/load.c: Ditto.
	* modules/m4.c: Ditto.
	* modules/modtest.c: Ditto.
	* modules/mpeval.c: Ditto.
	* modules/perl.c: Ditto.
	* modules/shadow.c: Ditto.

	* modules/time.c: Ditto.
	* TODO: Updated.

2001-10-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	The trace semantics now attach the trace bit to a symbol name.
	For as long as a traceon(`foo') is active, calls to foo will be
	traced regardless of intervening undefines or module unloads.
	Fixed the flag propogation issues differently to the fixes
	reverted with the last attempt at nailing down trace:

	* m4/m4private.h:  This file is not visible outside of the m4
	source tree, so I removed all the `M4_' and `m4_' prefixes to save
	on typing.  Updated all clients.
	(m4_token): New typedef contains the fields that need to be passed
	around with the low level tokeniser.
	(m4_token_data):  Removed.
	(m4_symbol): Now contains the traced flag again.
	* m4/symtab.c:  Rewritten again.  Now we don't remove symbols with
	the trace bit set.  This change is contained entirely within this
	module and doesn't leak out into the callers.  Updated all
	clients.
	(m4_symbol_builtin, m4_symbol_macro):  Adjusted to make use of the
	new fields in m4_token.  Updated all clients.
	* m4/builtin.c (m4_builtin_pushdef):  Needs a flags argument so
	that `groks_macro_args' and `blind_if_no_args' flags are retained
	when defn() results are passed around in m4 code.  Updated all
	callers.
	(m4_builtin_define): Ditto.
	(m4_macro_pushdef, m4_macro_define): Ditto.
	* m4/input.c (struct input_block): Add a flags field to facilitate
	the above.
	(m4_push_macro):  ...use it.
	(init_macro_token):  Retrieve it.
	(m4_next_token): Initialise it.
	* m4/macro.c (expand_argument):  Copy it.
	* m4/m4module.h: Adjust.
	* tests/builtins.at:  Adjust the expected output of the trace
	tests to reflect the change in semantics.
	* tests/modules.at (modules: trace):  Check that unloading a
	module which supplies a traced symbol definition doesn't lose te
	trace bit.

2001-10-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* modules/gnu.c (m4_macro_table): Display the timetamp when
	expanding __m4_version__.

	(AT_CHECK_M4_FILTER): Fix and rename as...
	(AT_TEST_M4): this.
	* tests/others.at: Use it.

	* config/gmp.m4 (_AC_LIB_GMP): In order to read the content of a
	variable in shell scripts, one uses `$'...

2001-10-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* configure.ac: `rm -f $m4_getopt_h' was lost.

2001-10-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* configure.ac (TIMESTAMP): Display with AS_BOX at configure
	time.  Define it for config.h in order to...
	* src/main.c (main): ...display the timestamp for --version.

2001-10-04  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* modules/gnu.c (m4_regexp_do, m4_patsubst_do): Extracted from
	previous builtins `regexp' and `patsubst'.

	(eregexp, epatsubst): New builtins.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Patsubst, Regexp): Rename and complete as...

2001-10-04  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* m4/utility.c (m4_bad_argc): Detail the mismatches.

2001-10-01  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/generate.awk: Tag the tests with `documentation'.

	Use the make the existing modtest tests more uniform, and complete
	the set of possibilities.

2001-10-01  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* config/gmp.m4: Consult the user before using GMP: use
	--without-gmp.
	* configure.ac: Adjust.
	* modules/gmp.c: No protection needed as the module is not built
	if GMP is not used.

2001-10-01  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/generate.awk: Remove debugging code.
	(fatal): Specify the current location.

2001-09-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Reinstate the memory handling improvements from the patch I just
	reverted.  Relevant ChangeLog entries repeated here:

	* m4/module.c (m4_module_remove): New function that holds the core
	of the old m4_module_unload.
	(m4_module_unload): Use it.
	(m4_module_unload_all): When we know the modules will never be
	used again (i.e. on exit), free up as much module memory as
	possible.  There are still some artifacts from resident modules
	living inside ltdl.c, but everything else is freed.
	* m4/debug.c (m4_debug_exit): Free memory allocated in
	m4_debug_init().
	* m4/input.c (m4_input_exit): Ditto wrt m4_input_init().
	* m4/output.c (m4_output_exit): Ditto wrt m4_output_init ().
	* src/stackovf.c (stackovf_exit): Ditto wrt setup_stackovf_trap ().
	* m4/m4module.h: Updated prototypes.
	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_exit): Free the nodes on the free list.
	* m4/hash.h: Updated prototypes.
	* src/main.c (main): Use all these new functions to clean up as
	much memory as possible before exit.

2001-09-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Reverted my large patch for removing the old m4_symbol
	structure on 2001-09-20.  We are still not happy about the way
	trace works in conjunction with defn and undefine, and leaving
	the reverted patch active prevents us from moving the traced
	bit from the definition back to the symbol.

2001-09-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* configure.in: Moved to...
	* configure.ac: ...here.  Added a libtool like timestamped
	banner, and tidied up the libltdl cruft.
	* config/mkstamp: Script to extract a timestamp from ChangeLog.
	* modules/Makefile.am (INCLTDL):  Removed.  This is required
	only when libltdl is configured in a subdirectory.
	* src/Makefile.am: Ditto.
	(LIBADD_DL):  No need to add this again, libtool already knows
	that libm4.la depends on it.
	* m4/Makefile.am: Automake sets variables from AC_SUBST.  Use
	them.

	* TODO: stackovf.c is basically broken.
	Reported by Marc Espie <espie@schutzenberger.liafa.jussieu.fr>

2001-09-28  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): `m4' is not to be shipped.

2001-09-27  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/m4.in: Don't use short options.
	Simplify the stderr signature normalization.

2001-09-27  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	tests/m4 shall be position independent.

	* tests/m4.in: New.
	* tests/m4: Remove.
	* tests/testsuite.at: No args to AT_INIT.
	* configure.in, tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

2001-09-22  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	Autotest has changed again.

	* tests/Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Add package.m4.
	(package.m4): Remove.
	* configure.in: Adjust to LIBADD_GMP.

2001-09-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* config/gmp.m4 (AC_ARG_WITH): Removed.
	(GMP_LIB): Renamed to LIBADD_GMP for consistency.
	(AC_LIB_GMP): When performing a test compile against libgmp,
	include the header gmp.h if possible, and link against -lgmp.  If
	they both work define USE_GMP.
	* modules/Makefile.am (mpeval_la_LIBADD): Add LIBADD_GMP.
	(mpeval_LTX_init_func): Complain on load that there was no libgmp
	at compile time.

2001-09-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/evalparse.c: Moved to...
	* modules/evalparse.c:  ...here.  This code is shared between
	modules/mpeval.c and modules/m4.c, so there is no need to pollute
	the libm4 API with its details.  Moderately rewritten to interface
	into its clients more simply.
	* m4/eval.c: Deleted.  Migrated functionality to...
	* modules/m4.c: ...here.
	(builtin_eval):  Implemented in terms of the new interface style.
	* modules/mpeval.c (builtin_mpeval): Ditto.
	* m4/m4module.h: Removed references to the former m4/eval.c.
	* m4/Makefile.am (libm4_la_SOURCES):  Removed eval.c.
	(EXTRA_libm4_la_SOURCES): Deleted.
	* modules/Makefile.am (EXTRA_m4_la_SOURCES): Reference evalparse.c.
	(EXTRA_mpeval_la_SOURCES): Reference evalparse.c.

2001-09-20  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* config/gmp.m4 (AM_WITH_GMP): Rename as...
	(AC_LIB_GMP): this.
	By default, use gmp.
	Massive revamping.
	* configure.in: Adjust.
	Use Automake conditionals for USE_GMP.
	Always compute sizeof (long long int).
	This was a bug BTW, as `eval' (not `mpeval') depends on it:
	before, it was used _only_ if mpeval was not activated.
	* modules/Makefile.am (pkglibexec2dir, +pkglibexec2_LTLIBRARIES)
	(mpeval_la_LIBADD): New macros.
	* modules/mpeval.c: No longer be conditioned by WITH_GMP.
	Indent.
	* tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/$(TESTSUITE)): Create package.m4.
	* tests/atlocal.in, tests/builtins.at: Depend upon USE_GMP, not
	WITH_GMP.

2001-09-20  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
	* tests/testsuite.at: Adjust AT_INIT and AT_VICTIMS.

2001-09-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	More cleanup.  After the last patch, m4_symbol holds nothing but
	the head of a chain of m4_token_data.  So I have removed the old
	m4_symbol, so that m4_token_data chains are stored directly in the
	value cell of a hash table node.  But there's more... m4_symbol
	was a more natural name for the symbol value cell, and now that it
	is gone I have renamed the former m4_token_data structure to
	m4_symbol.  This change turned out to be a pig to get right, since
	the original code didn't need to modify the value cell itself,
	since changing the chain happened inside the m4_symbol that used
	to be returned -- I had to pass the address of the value cell
	across various function calls, incase the head value changed.  I
	also tightened up the memory management to help me find a nasty
	memory corruption bug that took me all night to track down...

	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4_symbol): Removed.
	(struct m4_token_data): Renamed to `struct m4_symbol'.  Updated
	all references.
	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_iterator_value): Return the address of the
	value cell.  Updated all callers.
	* m4/symtab.c: Took advantage of the simplification in the data
	structures to rewrite a lot of this file more simply.  There is
	still some room for optimisation here, but we should tackle that
	systematically closer to the release.

	* m4/ltdl.c: Added dmalloc support, and fixed some memory leaks it
	revealed.  This version is ahead of CVS libtool until I get chance
	to flush my changes.
	* m4/module.c (m4_module_remove): New function that holds the core
	of the old m4_module_unload.
	(m4_module_unload): Use it.
	(m4_module_unload_all): When we know the modules will never be
	used again (i.e. on exit), free up as much module memory as
	possible.  There are still some artifacts from resident modules
	living inside ltdl.c, but everything else is freed.
	* m4/debug.c (m4_debug_exit): Free memory allocated in
	m4_debug_init().
	* m4/input.c (m4_input_exit): Ditto wrt m4_input_init().
	* m4/output.c (m4_output_exit): Ditto wrt m4_output_init ().
	* src/stackovf.c (stackovf_exit): Ditto wrt setup_stackovf_trap ().
	* m4/m4module.h: Updated prototypes.
	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_exit): Free the nodes on the free list.
	* m4/hash.h: Updated prototypes.
	* src/main.c (main): Use all these new functions to clean up as
	much memory as possible before exit.

2001-09-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	The `traced' flag needs to be attached to the definition of a
	symbol rather than the current symbol containing the definition.
	Implementing this showed up some long standing post 1.4 bugs in
	flag propogation which I also fixed.

	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4_symbol): Remove the traced flag.
	(struct m4_token_data): And add it back in here.
	* m4/input.c (init_macro_token): Propogate the traced flag
	correctly.
	* m4/macro.c (expand_argument): Ditto.
	* tests/builtins.at (trace2, trace3): New tests based on Akim's
	sadistic email ;-)

2001-09-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/m4private.h (struct m4_token_data): Simplified by removing
	the redundant `traced' flag, and one level of structure nesting.
	(M4_TOKEN_DATA_FUNC_TRACED): Removed.
	* m4/input.c (init_macro_token): No need to initialise removed
	`traced' field.
	* m4/macro.c (expand_argument): No need to copy it either.
	* m4/utility.c (m4_token_data_func_traced): Or provide an access
	function.

	* m4/hash.c (m4_hash_bucket_insert): Symbol shadowing is no longer
	dependant on multiple symbols with the same key, so preserving
	relative symbol order in each bucket during resizing is no longer
	required.  The resize function is considerably faster as a result.

	* m4/m4module.h, m4/builtin.c, m4/symtab.c:
	s/m4_symbol_insert/m4_symbol_define/g;
	s/m4_builtin_insert/m4_builtin_define/g;
	s/m4_macro_insert/m4_macro_define/g.  Updated all callers.

2001-09-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Get rid of m4_symbol_lookup_t entirely.  With Akim's earlier
	commits, the m4_lookup_symbol dispatch function is split into
	specialised functions that must be called directly.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_symbol_lookup_t): Removed.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_lookup_symbol): Removed.
	(m4_symbol_builtin, m4_symbol_macro): New functions.
	* m4/builtin.c (m4_builtin_define): Split into...
	(m4_builtin_pushdef, m4_builtin_insert): ...these.
	(m4_macro_define): Split into...
	(m4_macro_pushdef, m4_macro_insert): ...these.
	* src/main.c (main): Set command line macros from `-D' parameters
	using `m4_macro_define'.

2001-09-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symtab_remove_module_references):  Renamed as
	this from m4_remove_table_reference_symbols().
	* m4/m4module.h, m4/module.c: Updated all references.

2001-09-07  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* modules/stdlib.c, modules/times.c: Misc cleanups.

2001-09-07  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* configure.in: We now need Autoconf 2.52e.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_symbol_lookup_t): Remove `M4_SYMBOL_POPDEF'
	and `M4_SYMBOL_DELETE'.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_lookup_symbol, symtab_debug): Adjust.
	* src/main.c (main): Adjust.

2001-09-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Fix the obstack.h problem once and for all!  At configure time we
	can test for a system supplied obstack.h:  depending on the
	result, we now generate system.h with an #include of the correct
	header.  As a bonus, I've also added a --with-included-obstack,
	incase the user doesn't like the system obstack for some
	reason... and also we can test the shipped obstack on a system
	that has oe of its own.  We also now need to be careful to add
	build directories to the include search path, since the generated
	system.h will be in the build tree.

	* configure.in (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Generate system.h from
	system-h.in.
	* config/gnu-obstack.m4 (M4_AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Determine whether to
	include the system obstack header or the copy shipped with M4.
	Allow the user to override configure and force the build to use
	the shipped version.
	* m4/system-h.in: New file, template for...
	* m4/system.h: ...this.  Now deleted.
	* m4/m4module.h: Include system.h before everything else.
	* src/freeze.c: Ditto.
	* m4/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Remove generated system.h.
	(INCLUDES): Check builddir for generated headers before checking
	srcdir.
	* modules/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Ditto.
	* src/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Ditto.

2001-09-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

2001-09-05  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	Rationalize warnings, reporting the macro name as if it were a
	program name, and assertions.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4_lookup_symbol): Prototype, it is still used.
	(M4WARN): New.
	* m4/symtab.c (m4_lookup_symbol, m4_symbol_popdef)
	(m4_symbol_delete):
	Use assert for internal errors.
	* m4/utility.c (m4_bad_argc, m4_numeric_arg, m4_dump_symbols): Use
	M4WARN.
	* modules/m4.c (undefine, defn, traceon, traceoff, dumpdef): use
	M4WARN and assert.
	* tests/builtins.at (pushpop): Adjust.

2001-09-05  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_insert): Don't use `foo () || bar ()'
	with pointers.

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_symbol_popdef, m4_symbol_delete): Rename as...

	(m4_symbol_popdef, m4_symbol_delete): New.

2001-09-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Bootstrap will now work with Libtool 1.4.1 or higher:
	* bootstrap: Remove stale autom4te.cache files when
	rebootstrapping.
	* config/Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_MACROS):  Add ltdl.m4 and
	libtool.m4.
	* bootstrap: Ignore acinclude.m4 now the we include ltdl.m4 and
	libtool.m4 directly.
	Run libtoolize to refresh ltmain.sh.
	* config/ltmain.sh:  Deleted.
	* acinclude.m4: Deleted.
	* m4/ltdl.c, m4/ltdl.h: Updated from libtool-1.4.1.

	* config/debug.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION): Provide a fallback
	implementation for the cvs impaired libtool user.

2001-09-03  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_lookup_symbol): Give more details when reporting
	internal errors.
	Avoid using `default' in switch, as it hides useful compiler
	warnings when a case is forgotten.

2001-09-03  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* src/main.c (MODULE_SHORTOPT, MODULEPATH_SHORTOPT): Remove, there
	is no such thing as `WITH_MODULES'.

2001-09-03  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	Improve the test suite's selfcontainedness.

	* doc/m4.texinfo: Let `input.m4' be the input file, not `in'.
	(Include, Undivert): Tag the other input files.
	* tests/generate.awk: Catch `@comment file:'.
	`-I $src' is no longer needed.
	`next' is really like `return': the rest is skipped.
	Adjust to `input.m4'.
	(fatal): New function.
	* tests/foo, tests/incl.m4: Remove.

2001-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	The shadowing mechanism and, infact, the whole symbol table
	implementation was creaking under the weight of the features piled
	on top of it.  We now have a separate hash table module which will
	dynamically resize to keep symbol density withing good performace
	limits, and a new symtab module layered above it.  Symbol lookups
	are now marginally more efficient (since the shadowed flag is no
	longer required) and symbol removal, such as on module unload, is
	considerably faster due to a reorganisation of the data structures
	used in symtab.c.

	* src/main.c (main):  Don't mention `-H'.
	* doc/m4.texinfo (Invoking m4): Document that -H no longer has any
	effect.
	* NEWS: Updated.
	* m4/hash.c: New generalised dynamic hash table data structure
	management module.
	* m4/hash.h: Public interface.
	* m4/Makefile.am (pkginc_HEADERS): Add hash.h.
	(libm4_la_SOURCES): Add hash.c.
	* m4/symtab.c: More or less rewritten from scratch, within the
	bounds of the previous API.
	(m4_symtab_apply): A cleaner version of the old hack_all_symbols
	call.  Updated all callers.
	* m4/m4module.c: #include <m4/hash.h>, and changed all affected
	declarations to reflect API changes.
	(M4INIT): Generate a declaration too, to avoid the warning with
	--enable-debug builds.
	(M4FINISH): Ditto.
	(HASHMAX): Removed.
	* m4/utility.c (hash_table_size):  Removed.
	(m4_dump_symbols): Rewritten to build and qsort an array of symbol
	names, which are then looked up by builtin_dumpdef() as necessary.
	This implies a small speedup in builtin_symbols(), which discarded
	all of the symbol info under the old call.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_symbol): Removed shadowed flag -- symbol
	shadowing is implicit in respect to the new data structures.
	symbol names are no longer duplicated here, they are stored in the
	key field of the hash table.
	Moved macro_args and blind_no_args...
	(m4_token_data): ...to here.
	m4/macro.c (expand_macro):  Added a name argument since the symbol
	name is no longer copied into each struct m4_symbol.  Modified all
	callers.
	(collect_arguments):  Ditto.
	* modules/m4.c (set_trace): Ditto.
	* modules/gnu.c (builtin_symbols): Updated.
	* src/freeze.c (produce_symbol_dump): Much improved in light of
	the improved symbol table layout.

2001-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/m4private.h (SYMBOL_NEXT): Move into m4's name space; renamed
	to M4_SYMBOL_NEXT.
	(SYMBOL_TRACED): Similarly renamed by prefixing with `M4_'.
	(SYMBOL_SHADOWED, SYMBOL_MACRO_ARGS, SYMBOL_BLIND_NO_ARGS,
	SYMBOL_NAME, SYMBOL_TYPE, SYMBOL_TEXT, SYMBOL_FUNC,
	SYMBOL_HANDLE): Ditto.
	* m4/builtin.c, m4/macro.c, m4/symtab.c, m4/utility.c,
	modules/gnu.c, modules/m4.c, src/freeze.c,
	src/main.c:  Updated all references.

	* src/Makefile.am (m4_SOURCES): Don't list $(M4OBJS) here, since
	Automake 1.5 chokes on dynamic source file lists,  Besides, it is
	already listed in m4_LDADD... how did that ever used to work?
	* configure.in (getopt.h): Use AC_CONFIG_LINKS instead of a manual
	link.
	* config/gnu-obstack.m4 (M4_AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Ditto.
	Suggested by Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

	* tests/m4: Don't call the m4 wrapper script with libtool, it
	works fine all by itself.

2001-08-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	The experimental `changeword' feature never took off, and has
	no obvious advantages over `changesyntax' to compensate the
	enormous speed penalty it carries:
	* configure.in (ENABLE_CHANGEWORD): Removed.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_set_word_regexp): Removed.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_token_data): Removed original_text field.

	* m4/input,c: Removed all conditional ENABLE_CHANGEWORD code.
	* m4/macro.c: Ditto.
	* src/main.c: Ditto.
	* modules/Makefile.am (changeword.la): Removed.
	* modules/changeword.c: File removed.

2001-08-30  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* bootstrap.sh: Create aclocal.m4 instead of modifying it.
	This also help having a single list of m4 files: in
	config/Makefile.am.
	* config/Makefile.am (STANDARD_MACROS): Rename as...
	(ACLOCAL_MACROS): this.
	(list-standard-macros): Remove.
	(spy): New.

2001-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	In an attempt to moderate my egomania...
	* tests/modules.at: Remove attributions.

	* tests/generate.awk: When making substitutions to "@&t@", either
	"&" or "\&" in the substitution string argument to gsub refer back
	to the matched text.  "@\\&t@" seems to work though, Tests 43 and
	67 now pass for me.

2001-08-29  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/others.at (changeword, ddivert, debug, esyscmd, exp, gmp)
	(include, indir, multiquotes, patsubst, pushdef/popdef, regexp)
	(sync-lines, trace, translit, undivert, wrap): Move to...
	* tests/builtins.at: this new file.
	* tests/others.at (Discard comments, import-environment): Move to...
	* tests/options.at: this new file.

2001-08-29  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/others.at (Freezing modules)
	(--module-directory: absolute path, modpath2, modpath3)
	(M4MODPATH: absolute path, modtest, shadow, unload): Move to...
	* tests/modules.at: here, new file.
	* tests/others.at, tests/generate.awk: Add a banner.
	* tests/testsuite.at: Adjust.
	(AT_CHECK_M4_FILTER): New, but unused.

2001-08-29  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/testsuite.at (AT_CHECK_M4): Don't pass -I, let the tests
	handle that.
	* tests/others.at (wrap): Inline wrap.m4.
	(shadow): Inline shadow.m4.
	(iso8859): Don't specify the path from top_srcdir, but from srcdir.

	* bootstrap (generate.awk): Generate test cases with new script.

2001-08-27  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/Makefile.am (installcheck-local): Don't use
	`dc_install_base' which is not visible here, but `exec_prefix'
	which is clearly the RT anyway.
	* tests/testsuite.at (AT_CHECK_M4): Don't pass -M here since it is
	related to testing a now installed m4.
	* tests/m4: Do it here.

2001-08-27  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/others.at (indir): Formatting change.

2001-08-27  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/Makefile.am (installcheck-local): New.
	* tests/testsuite.at (AT_CHECK_M4): Pass `-b' so that C-c works on
	the test suite.
	Prefer options over envvars.
	* src/main.c (main): First bug caught by the test suite (yeah!):
	--batch lacked a `break' which resulted in an accidental
	invocation of --discard-comments.

2001-08-27  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* tests/others.at (capitalize, changeword, comments, ddivert)
	(debug, esyscmd, exp, foreach, forloop, fstab, hanoi, include)
	(misc, multiquotes, patsubst, pushdef/popdef, regexp, reverse)
	(sysv-args, trace, translit, undivert): Don't rely on files in
	examples/: AT_DATA them.

2001-08-27  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	Let the test suite use a wrapper around the not installed m4 to
	pretend it is (installed).

	* bootstrap (aclocal.m4): Output AC_SUBST's and AM_CONDITIONAL's in
	such a way that m4 does not process them.
	* configure.in: The package name seems to be `m4', not `M4'.
	* tests/m4: New.
	* tests/atlocal.in (at_package, M4): Remove.
	* tests/testsuite.at, tests/others.at: Use m4, not $M4.

	* Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): 1.5.
	Don't use aclocal: it's written by hand.
	* aclocal.m4: m4_include all the files instead of being built by
	aclocal.
	* bootstrap: Help automake find the AC_SUBSTs and AM_CONDITIONALs
	until it reads the traces by itself.

	* config/error.m4: new.
	* config/Makefile.am: Ship the files included by aclocal.m4.

2001-08-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* m4/system.h [cygwin*]:  Thanks to Paul Sokolovsky and
	Robert Collins, building on Cygwin no longer requires Windows

	* modules/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS) [cygwin*]: Ditto.

2001-08-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Ansify the source.  Previously we had a mix, where my code was
	in a K&R compatible style, and the preexisting code was in ANSI
	style.  Nothing is lost wrt release 1.4 by reverting to ANSI,
	and now the code base is much cleaner.

	* m4/system.h:  Remove M4_PARAMS macro and all users.  Remove
	VOID macro and all users.

	* tests/testsuite.at (dnl): Allow it, as it's used all over the
	place.

2001-08-20  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* m4/utility.c (m4_numeric_arg): Spell out the culprit.
	* modules/m4.c (undivert): Disable the possibility of undiverting
	several files at once: it is not documented, it is inconsistent
	with the other macros, it can be straightforwardly mocked by
	several invocations, and most importantly, it prevents the
	possibility of other kinds of extension.
	Use `m4_numeric_arg'.

2001-08-20  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* examples/include.m4: Typo.
	* tests/generate.awk: Really add it.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Adjust.

	(include, undivert): Add -I examples/.

2001-08-20  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	Use sprintf, not ecft and friends since it is standard, portable,
	simplifies the code, and since the latter is even deprecated
	according to the GNU libc documentation.

	* modules/format.c: Drop evct support.

2001-08-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* config/debug.m4 (M4_AC_CHECK_DEBUGGING): Cleaned up.  Don't test

	And anyway, proper quotation is enough.
	(m4_pattern_allow): As it exists in 2.50, just use it.
	(AC_OUTPUT): Split in AC_CONFIG_FILES and AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS.

	* m4/m4module.h (m4/list.h): Don't include it.

2001-08-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	m4_modules are no more, we use lt_dlhandles directly and let
	latest libltdl features manage the list of loaded modules.
	* acinclude.m4: Regenerated.
	* m4/ltdl.c: Updated from master copy.
	* m4/module.c: Reimplemented to take advantage of advances in
	libltdl.
	* m4/builtin.c (m4_builtin_find_by_name): Traverse loaded module
	list with lt_dlhandle_next.
	(m4_builtin_find_by_func): Ditto.
	(m4_builtin_table_install): Use lt_dlhandle.
	(m4_macro_define): Ditto.
	(m4_macro_table_install): Ditto.
	m4/module.h: Prototype new module management API.
	(m4_modules): No longer required.
	(m4_module_init_t, m4_module_finish_t): POSIX namespace
	violations, renamed to...
	(m4_module_init_func, m4_module_finish_func): ...these,
	respectively.
	(M4INIT_HANDLER): Clean way to declare init functions in modules.
	(M4FINISH_HANDLER):  And similarly for finish functions.
	* m4/system.h (_CONC): Used by M4INIT_HANDLER and M4FINISH_HANDLER
	-- Add indirection to the CONC macro so that arguments are
	correctly expanded.
	* modules/modtest.c (m4_init_module):  Replaced with M4INIT_HANDLER.
	* modules/shadow.c (m4_init_module):  Ditto.
	Due to new init function semantics, be careful to perform the
	initialisation only on first load.
	* modules/perl.c (m4_init_module):  Ditto. And Ditto.
	(m4_finish_module): Replaced with M4FINISH_HANDLER.
	Due to new finish function semantics, be careful to perform the
	finalisation only on first load.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_module): Removed in favour of...
	(m4_module_data): ...structure without all the wrapper fields.
	Instances of this new structure are stored associated lt_dlhandles
	with lt_dlcaller_data_set().
	* m4/builtin.c (m4_builtin_define): Takes a handle argument
	instead of the old module argument.
	(m4_builtin_table_install): Ditto.
	* modules/load.c (m4_resident_module):  Removed.  This is no
	longer implemented as a magic symbol...

	* m4/Makefile.am (pkginc_HEADERS): Delete list.h reference.
	(libm4_la_SOURCES): Delete list.c reference.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_token_data):  Add a handle field.  This
	eliminates many of the searches to find the handle associated with
	various tokens that are passed between functions.
	(struct m4_symbol):  Removed the module field.  The
	module association does not belong with the symbol...
	* m4/input.c (struct m4_builtin): ...it belongs with the builtin
	that the module implementation code is from.  Added a handle
	field.
	(m4_push_macro): Add a `handle' argument.  Changed all callers.
	(init_macro_token):  Set the `handle' field for the
	m4_token_data.
	* m4/macro.c (expand_argument): Copy the new handle field during
	reassignment.

	(CDPATH) Neutralize.
	* tests/gethem: Use them.

2001-08-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* config/ltmain.sh: Doh!  Import again for a quoting fix that
	prevented any regression test from passing.

	* m4/m4module.h (obstack.h): Choose between installed version
	and shipped version based on configure tests.
	* src/freeze.c (obstack.h): Ditto.

	* acconfig.h: Removed.  No longer required.

	* bootstrap: Rewritten to play nicely with Autoconf 2.5x.
	* configure.in (MY_NAME, MY_VERSION): Define these once, and feed
	them to AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
	* Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove `gnits' which would
	disallow MY_NAME and MY_VERSION arguments to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
	* config/gnu-obstack.m4 (M4_AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Don't choke on
	shell variable m4_cv_func_obstack_h.
	* tests/defs (M4): Be more careful about relative path to libtool
	script and m4 binary by using $srcdir.

	* src/main.c (main): Use lt_dlinsertsearchdir to prepend -M
	optargs to the existing libltdl search path.

	interactive mode off.

2001-08-10  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

	* configure.in: Require Autoconf 2.52.
	(AC_ARG_PROGRAM): Remove, handled by Automake.
	(m4_getopt): Rename as...
	(m4_getopt_h): this.
	Allow the tokens `m4_cv_*', `m4_top_srcdir', and `m4_getopt_h'.
	Undefine `changeword' only if defined.
	* config/gnu-obstack.m4: Require Autoconf 2.52.
	(M4_AC_FUNC_OBSTACK): Rename `m4_obstack' and `m4_obstack_h'.

	* po/cat-id-tbl.c: Remove file.
	* po/stamp-cat-id: Remove file.

2001-04-08  Roderick Koehle <Roderick.Koehle@infineon.com>

	* modules/format.c (format):  Formatting for %f was not
	interpreting the position of the decimal point correctly for
	whole numbers.

2000-12-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* TODO:  Removed m4exit bug.
	* modules/load.c (m4_resident_module): Make this module resident.
	* module/m4.c (m4_resident_module): Ditto.
	* m4/modules.c (m4_module_load):  Use new ltdl resident modules

	builtin.

	* src/main.c (usage): Added missing description of `-c' option.

2000-11-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Consolidate the myriad of dispersed test scripts into the
	tests subdirectory.  I think I now have all the file where I
	want them, so there shouldn't be anymore upheaval =)O|
	Honest!
	* tests/Makefile.am: Updated to run the new tests added below.
	* tests/other-tests/capitalize.test, tests/other-tests/comments.test,
	tests/other-tests/ddivert.test, tests/other-tests/debug.test,

	tests/other-tests/unfrozen.m4, tests/other-tests/unload.test,
	tests/other-tests/wrap.test:  New tests based on the contents
	of the tests removed below.
	* examples/Makefile.am, modules/Makefile.am:  Updated to
	reflect removed tests.
	* examples/defs,modules/defs: Removed.
	* examples/capitalize.test, examples/comments.test,
	examples/ddivert.test, examples/debug.test,
	examples/esyscmd.test, examples/exp.test,

	Move the implementation of GMP support for the mpeval() builtin
	into a loadable module that depends on libgmp.  mpeval() and
	eval() share a common parser, now in m4/evalparser.c; the code
	in m4/numb.c and m4/numb.h is now physically split between
	m4/eval.c (the eval() backend) and modules/mpeval.c (the
	mpeval() backend), rather than being differentiated by cpp
	macros and multiple inclusion.  The mpeval module is always
	built but will generate an diagnostic if it is used from an
	installation that didn't link in the gmp library.
	* modules/Makefile.am: build and install the new mpeval module.
	* modules/mpeval.c: Now contains the former parts of m4/numb.c
	and m4/numb.h that are required for gmp support in mpeval().
	* m4/Makefile.am (libm4_la_SOURCES): Removed evalmp.c.
	* m4/evalmp.c:  Removed.
	* m4/m4module.h: Removed conditional prototype for
	m4_mp_evaluate().
	* m4/eval.c: Rewritten.  Contains the former parts of m4/numb.c
	and m4/numb.h that do not rely on gmp.
	* m4/evalparse.c:  New file, contains the shared parts of the
	eval() and evalmp() parser implementations, and is no longer
	unencumbered by cpp magic to uncover the right parts.
	* m4/numb.h:  Removed.  It's former contents are split between
	m4/eval.c and modules/mpeval.c.
	* m4/numb.c: ditto.

	* tests/other-tests/changeword.test: New test.  Rudimentary
	testing of changeword builtin runs only if --wnable-changeword
	was used at configure time.
	* tests/mkconfig.sh: Solaris sed (at least) does not parse nested
	alternation correctly.  Split into two expressions to compensate.
	* m4/input.c (m4_input_init): Use m4_ prefix on m4_set_word_regexp.
	* modules/Makefile.am: Build changeword module.
	* modules/changeword.c (m4_macro_table): Define __m4_changeword__
	only when --enable-changeword was passed to configure.
	(builtin_changeword): If --enable-changeword was not used, then
	report that changeword() builtin has no support in m4 binary.

2000-11-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* src/main.c (main): Fixed a particularly nasty bug is
	user_search_path setting -- the -M flag processing must be
	extremely careful with search path ordering, or else the default
	installed module directory (possibly containing modules from a
	previous release) is placed earlier in the search path than any -M
	arguments (which are relied upon to load uninstalled modules with
	most of the tests in the regresion suite).

	* modules/load.c (builtin_load):  Nasty hack to prevent adding
	symbols to symtab again if a module is loaded more than once.
	* modules/m4.c (builtin_ifelse): removed unused variable argv0.

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_remove_table_reference_symbols):  Fixed a
	possible NULL pointer dereference.

	* m4/module.c (m4_module_find_by_modname): Renamed from
	m4_module_modname_find.   Fixed all references.
	(m4_module_find_by_builtin):  New function.

	* modules/modfreeze.test: load the `load' module with each
	invocation.
	* src/freeze.c (produce_frozen_state): Simplified in light of
	module field in m4_symbol.  Allow a third argument for text macros
	to name the originating module.
	(reload_frozen_state): ditto.
	* m4/m4module.h:  Fixup prototypes.
	* m4/builtin.h (m4_builtin_define): Add a module argument so
	that symbols can be registered against the defining module.
	(m4_macro_define): ditto.
	* m4/m4private.h (m4_symbol): Make the module field const to save
	on casting in the rest of the code.
	(SYMBOL_MODULE): New macro.

	* m4/symtab.c (m4_remove_table_reference_symbols): Fixed stupid
	symbol reference maintenance bugs when removing a symbol from the
	symtab.

	* src/stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Fixed some memory leaks.

2000-11-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* configure.in (m4_cv_func_obstack): A better check for whether
	libc has an obstack implementation.
	* m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_libm4_la_SOURCES): add gnu-obstack.h.

	* configure.in (--with-modules): Changed semantics.  This
	option is now used to list modules to be preopened.
	* src/m4.h: #include "ltdl.h" unconditionally.
	* src/main.c: Removed all dependencies on WITH_MODULES.
	* src/freeze.c: ditto.
	* modules/Makefile.am: ditto.
	* m4/m4.c (builtin_m4exit): ditto.
	* modules/modpath1.test: ditto.
	* modules/modpath2.test: ditto.
	* modules/modpath3.test: ditto.
	* modules/modpath4.test: ditto.
	* modules/modtest.test: ditto.
	* modules/shadow.test: ditto.
	* modules/unload.test: ditto.

	* m4/Makefile.am (libm4_la_SOURCES): Removed obstack.c, since it
	comes up on demand in LTLIBOBJS now.
	* configure.in (getopt_long):  Creating and relying on a link for
	getopt.h on hosts with no getopt_long() of thier own works
	correctly now.  This is necessary so that callers of getopt_long()
	can simply `#include <getopt.h>': the naive way of doing this
	would end up using our own getopt.h and the installed
	getopt_long(), which is asking for trouble!
	(obstack_init): A similar argument applies to obstack.h and
	obstack_init().

	* m4/ltdl.c: Upgraded to latest bleeding edge version again.
	On Solaris-2.5 (at least) the native dlopen implementation
	gets confused about m4.o when looking for module "m4".  This
	version always looks for .la an .$lib_ext suffixed names first
	to work around the problem.  Sigh.

	* po/POTFILES.in: Take account of these file movements.
	* src/Makefile.am (m4_SOURCES): removed eval.c.
	(EXTRA_m4_SOURCES): removed numb.c and numb.h.
	* m4/Makefile.am (libm4_la_SOURCES): added eval.c.
	(EXTRA_libm4_la_SOURCES): added numb.c and numb.h.
	* modules/m4.c (builtin_eval): Use m4_evaluate().
	* m4/eval.c: Moved here from src/eval.c to facilitate
	implementation of eval() builtin as part of the `m4' loadable
	module.
	(m4_evaluate): renamed from evaluate for namespace cleanliness.
	* m4/numb.c: Moved here from src/numb.c, since it is #included
	into eval.c at compile time.
	* m4/m4module.h (m4_evaluate): Added prototype.
	* src/m4.h (evaluate): Removed prototype.

2000-11-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* modules/perl.c (builtin_perleval):  Use PL_na for
	compatibility with perl-5.6.

	* src/main.c (main):  It is now safe to
	``m4_module_install("m4")'', without tripping over the m4
	binary itself!
	* m4/ltdl.h, m4/ltdl.c: Upgraded to latest bleeding edge
	versions having fixed the insidious module search order bug.

	* m4/Makefile.am (libm4_la_LIBADD): New magic -- we are
	supposed to be using @LIBADD_DL@; @DLLDFLAGS@ is dead.

	* configure.in: Figure out whether to use the installed
	getopt.h or the supplied one.
	* src/Makefile.am: ditto.

	* po/POTFILES.in: List files in their new positions.

	* config/ltmain.sh:  This needs to be checked in to match the
	libtool macros copied to acinclude.m4 (until a released
	libtool copes with m4's needs).
	* bootstrap:  Run gettextize.

2000-11-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* AUTHORS:  Added my details.

	modules/m4.c.

	definitions for all m4 builtins that are not gnu extensions.

	* m4/m4module.h: Prototypes for exported functions and types moved
	to this directory from the src directory.
	* m4/m4private.h: Moved here from src/m4private.h to facilitate
	the migration of all builtin implementations to loadable modules.
	* m4/macro.c: Moved this file here from the src directory,

	(builtin_traceon): ditto.
	(builtin_traceoff): ditto.
	Reported by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

	* m4/Makefile.am (pkgincdir):  Deleted.  Use automake's built in
	pkgincludedir instead.

	* m4/m4module.h (rquote): Renamed with a prefix of `m4_' since
	it is exported globally.  Fixed all references.
	(lquote): ditto.
	(bcomm): ditto.

	* src/ltdl.c: Use access() to abort doomed module load attempts
	if module file does not exist.

	* src/Makefile.am (m4_SOURCES, EXTRA_SOURCES): getopt.o and
	getopt1.o will already be used if appropriate, so I moved getopt.c
	and getopt1.c from m4_SOURCES to EXTRA_SOURCES.

	* modules/modpath1.test: Use correct filename in header line.
	* modules/modpath2.test: ditto.
	* modules/modpath3.test: ditto.
	* modules/modpath4.test: ditto.

	* modules/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): s/test.m4 /modtest.m4 /
	(TESTS): s/test.test /modtest.test /
	(pkglibexec_LTLIBRARIES): s/test.la /modtest.la /

	* lib/COPYING.LIB:  updated to version 2.1.

	* lib/m4module.h: restructure the M4_SCOPE code to work when
	creating a dll which links with libm4.la and both DLL_EXPORT
	(for the new dll) and LIBM4_DLL_IMPORT (for m4module.h) are
	both defined.

2000-01-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	Merged the following changes from my tree:

	1999-06-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* configure.in (AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL): Declare that m4 has been
	ported to compile shared libs.

	* configure.in (LIBM4_DLL_IMPORT): Discover whether we need to
	use `__declspec(dllimport)' when linking libm4.la on win32.
	* src/Makefile.am (m4_LDFLAGS): Use dllimport if necessary.

	* configure.in (M4OBJS): Discover whether we need the shipped
	implementation of getopt_long.
	* src/Makefile.am (m4_LDADD): Link the getopt objects into the
	main binary here, as opposed to the module library in lib/libm4.la.

	1999-06-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* modules/README: Updated to describe the improved libltdl based
	module scheme.
	* README (cygwin): Added some compilation notes for building m4
	correctly under cygwin.
	* TODO: Cleaned out the entries for the module system since they
	are now implemented.

	* *.[ch]: __P is in the compiler's reserved namespace, so replaced
	all instances of __P with M4_PARAMS.

	* lib/getdate.h: removed unreferenced file.

	* lib/m4private.h: New file to define the private interface to the
	token_data struct, which must be shared between m4module.c, and
	builtin.c but not exported to modules built from the installed
	m4module.h since it's size changes depending on compile time
	options.

	* src/m4.h: Lots of stuff moved to lib/m4module.h.

	* lib/m4module.h: New file to define the interface available when
	compiling m4 modules.
	* lib/m4module.c: Moved parts of builtin.c, and m4.c which are
	necessary for module compilation into this new file.

	* lib/Makefile.am (include_HEADERS): install headers (renamed to
	avoid nameclash with other system headers) necessary for compiling
	modules.
	(libm4_la_SOURCES): always include error.c, obstack.c and regex.c
	so that modules can include the (renamed) installed headers and
	be guaranteed a matching implementation.
	* lib/m4error.h: renamed from error.h.
	* lib/m4obstack.h: renamed from obstack.h.
	* lib/m4regex.h: renamed from regex.h.
	* configure.in (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS):  Don't look for a system
	implementation, simply include the shipped version
	unconditionally, otherwise it is hard for a module to know
	whether the m4obstack.h header it is using matches the
	implementation it ends up linking against.
	(jm_WITH_REGEX):  Include regex into libm4 unconditionally for
	the same reason.

	1999-05-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* examples/misc.test: Don't run this test on machines which don't
	have a root user in /etc/passwd (e.g. cygwin).

	* tests/get-them (/^@example$/): Error messages might have a
	``.exe'' suffix to the program name, or else use the libtool
	``.libs/lt-m4'' binary, or generally have an unexpected path.  All
	of these cases are now catered for when comparing error messages
	in generated tests.
	* tests/other-tests/*.test: ditto.
	* examples/*.test: ditto.

	* tests/defs (M4): use libtool execute mode.
	* examples/defs (M4): ditto.

	* tests/get-them (END): explicitly close any open file.

	length.

	1999-05-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

	* configure.in (LTLIBOBJS): calculated from LIBOBJS, and
	substituted.

	<signal.h> (for SUS2 compliant systems).

	* src/stackovf.c: Check for HAVE_SIGINFO_T in addition to
	HAVE_SIGINFO_H.

2000-01-10  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	Cygnus.

	* lib/error.[hc], lib/regex.[hc], lib/strtol.c: Updated to version
	from glic 2.1.2.

	* src/input.c (match_input): Reordering of code, to avoid multiple
	calls to push_string_init() from obstack_grow(), which can happen
	with some compilers (found and fixed by James Bonfield
	<jkb@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk>).

	* src/stackovf.c: Added prototypes for ultrix.
	(setup_stackovf_trap): Added __P to cast.
	(Both reported by John David Anglin <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>)

2000-01-09  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* doc/m4.texinfo (Changequote): Added comment about changing
	quotes when the old quote is a part of the new.

	* src/builtin.c (expand_ranges): Added break after trailing dash.
	This caused misbehavious on some systems (found and fixed by Akim
	Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>).

	* AUTHORS: Thomas Tanner included

	* acconfig.h: Added entry for ss_sp (see below).

	* configure.in (use_stackovf): Added check for stack_t with member

	lib/regex.c, lib/xmalloc.c.

1999-11-10  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Passes -I acm4 to aclocal.

	* src/module.c: reindented.
	(module_load): return if this is a repeated load of same module.

1999-11-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/m4.h (voidstar): Define to void * if __STDC__ is defined
	and zero, as Solaris 7 cc does.
	(bcopy): Remove macro; no longer needed with new obstack.h.

	* src/output.c (freeze_diversions): Don't assume that a

	versionless module libraries.
	* src/builtin.c (m4_load_module): use libltdl.
	(module_unload_all): use libltdl.
	* src/m4.c (module_init): initialise module loading on demand for
	better diagnostics, and so that m4 will still work even if
	the module code is broken.
	* src/m4.h (module_init): removed.  No longer relevant.
	* modules/stdlib.c (m4_macro_table): use stdlib_LTX_ prefix on
	exported symbols for compatibility with dlpreopening.

	* src/evalmp.c: New file for compiling eval.c as gmp aware.
	Just defines USE_GMP if WITH_GMP is defined and includes eval.c.

	file must by static, except evaluate(), which is changed to
	mp_evaluate() if USE_GMP in force.

	* src/numb.c: Changed to be included by eval.c instead of being
	compiled separately.  Everything is declared static.

	* src/m4.c (main): m4 --version also shows which options were used
	for compilation, such as: "GNU m4 1.4n (options: modules gmp)"

1998-11-27  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* Error messages now always print program name before input file
	name as specified by GNU coding standards.  Reported by Akim
	Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>.

	* doc/m4.texinfo (Include): Change due to changed error message
	format.
	(Eval): Do.

	* tests/get-them: Minor change to sed script due to changed error
	message format.

	functions of more generic search path handling.

1998-11-24  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* configure.in: Defines INTLINCL to -I$(top_srcdir)/intl if using
	included gettext, as <libintl.h> might not be found
	otherwise. Reported by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.

1998-11-22  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* src/output.c (insert_diversion): Fixed bug that might cause m4
	to read from standard output!  Triggered by input
	'divert(1)undivert(0)'.  Test for divnum>0 changed to divnum>=0,
	so now 'undivert(0)' does nothing.

1998-11-18  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* Prerelease 1.4m.

	* src/input.c (set_word_regexp): Fixed a bug, where word_regexp

	USE_SHL_LOAD to HAVE_SHL_LOAD

	* src/builtin.c (shipout_string): Now tests for a NULL string.

	* src/module.c: New level of indirection around non-portable
	functions to load shared objects.  Intended to encapsulate the non
	portable parts better and to reduce the number of #ifdefs in the
	code.

	* Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): Instead of EXTRA_DIST for added
	directory modules/ to the distribution.

1998-11-15  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* Prerelease 1.4l.

	* modules/stdlib.c: New module `stdlib' defining some standard

	where modules are installed.

	* acm4/modules.m4: Enhanced with code from MetaHTML, contributed
	by Brian J. Fox <bfox@datawave.net>.  This change allow modules to
	build and install automatically, and it is prepared for other
	interfacec than dlopen().

	* src/builtin.c (predefined_tab): Added __m4_version__ for the
	current version of GNU m4.  It is a GNU extension.

1998-11-14  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* examples/mktests.sh: New file.  Help program for creating test
	files.

	* tests/mkconfig.sh: New file to generate tests/config.m4 and

	that are of use for other modules (shipout_int, numeric_arg,
	skip_space, bad_argc), and the macros ARG() and DECLARE().

	* src/builtin.c (install_builtin_table): New function.  Each
	module brings in a builtin_table, which is pushed on a stack.
	(struct builtin_table): New struct for list of builtin_tables.

	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Added modules/* since modules/ is not
	in SUBDIRS.

	* configure.in: Added modules/Makefile to AC_OUTPUT.

	* configure.in: Added code to implement --with-modules.  Tests for
	<dlfcn.h> and -ldl.

1998-10-02  René Seindal  <rene@seindal.dk>

	* examples/Makefile.am (pkgdata_DATA): Removed special target for
	check and variables TESTS.  These tests are now run from the
	tests/ directory.

	tests/ directory.

	* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Added run-test.

	* tests/run-test: New file.  Run a test manually

	* tests/Makefile.am, tests/get_them: Moved automatically generated

1998-09-06  Erick Branderhorst  <Erick.Branderhorst@asml.nl>

	* examples/{comments,ddivert,debug,iso8859,reverse,sysv-args,\
	wrap}.test: Added a few testcases.

	* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Removed checks/Makefile

	* doc/m4.texinfo (Patsubst,example): @comment added to preserve
	the space when m4.texinfo is edited and whitespace.el is active.
	(Defn,example): idem.

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>

	* doc/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): helptoman.pl and $(MANS) to

	be opened, return immediately after producing the error message.
	Reported by Andreas Schwab.

	* configure.in: Check for const only after having found possible

	of ansi2knr whenever it is needed.
	* configure.in: Adjusted for correct STACKOVF substitution.
	* src/debug.c (trace_format): When not __STDC__, use (...) as a

	structure and variables, cached variables out of output_diversion,
	reallocate_diversion_for and OUTPUT_CHARACTER.
	(shipout_text, make_diversion, insert_diversion): Adapted to new

	dist works from another build directory.

1994-08-27  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)

	messages.
	* m4.h: Declare strtol as long if not including stdlib.h.

	* 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.

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.

	* macro.c: Complete the prototypes of forwarded expand_macro and
	expand_token.

	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.

	* 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.
	* lib/Makefile.in: Have CFLAGS substituted from configure.
	Reported by Eric Backus and Tom McConnell.

	* configure.in: m4_undefine changeword before using AC_ENABLE.

	* 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.

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.

	* 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,

	* 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
	doing so, we ensure we do not free uninitialized variables.

	* checks/check-them: Reverse arguments to both diff, so the
	expected is on the left and the obtained on the right.

	* m4.h: Add MESSAGE{,1,2}, WARNING1, FATAL{,1} and INTERNAL_ERROR
	macros. Delete declarations for m4error, warning, fatal and

	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

	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.
	* 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.

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.

	* symtab.c (hash): Change (char) NULL to '\0'.
	Reported by Jason Merrill.

	* Delete .vers, etc/newdist.sh, etc/newvers.sh and

	* Makefile.in (check): Add m4 as dependency.

	* m4.c: Accept --no-warnings instead of --no_warnings, and
	--no-gnu-extensions instead of --no_gnu_extensions.  Make the
	usage message more informative.
	Reported by David MacKenzie.

1992-03-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

	* etc/check_examples: New name for check_examples.sh.
	* etc/get_examples: New name for get_examples.sh.
	* Makefile.in, etc/Makefile.in: Use new names.

	* Makefile.in: Transmit $(CC) while making in lib.

	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).

	François Pinard and Roland H. Pesch 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.
