Follow-up Comment #5, sr #108262 (project autoconf): I miss still a bit of information.
Are paths stored in variables like "srcdir" in a way that "special" characters <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_character> (like a single quote) are escaped by the Autoconf software? I imagine that another function would be needed to display such data as an original/unescaped string if it was adjusted by the system infrastructure somehow. I would like to point out that there are also use cases to distinguish the places better in a command <http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Quote.html#uh-8> where variable expansion/substitution should be performed. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108262> _______________________________________________ Nachricht gesendet von/durch Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
