I was about to check another sanity check in, but unfortunately the
current Autoconf does not pass it :)
Since it's probably a lot of fun to track down the origin of the
following output, since I know some of the audience of autoconf@ likes
this kind of tracking, let's track it down altogether :)
The idea of the test is that there should be no output at all but
empty lines, or lines of comments. But since `divert' throws
everything to void anyway, let's first disable divert. Hence this
test:
~/src/ace % m4 -D divert autoconf.m4 | egrep -v '^(#.*)?$' nostromo 14:29
-*- Autoconf -*-
-*- Autoconf -*-
# _AC_PROG_F77_V
# AC_F77_FUNC
I understand the first two guys, and actually I will put them in
comments, so that's no problem. But I don't know where the spaces
before the two last guys are coming from.
Happy tracking!
