Follow-up Comment #2, sr #110324 (project autoconf): I've noticed a bunch of these, too:
1) Nested AC_TRY_COMPILE/AC_TRY_LINK/AC_TRY_RUN invocations lead to stray _au_m4_changequote([,])s when being autoupdated to AC_COMPILE_IF_ELSE/AC_LINK_IF_ELSE/AC_RUN_IF_ELSE 2) Macros in comments get expanded even when the new output spreads across more lines, meaning that stuff that ought to stay in a comment no longer is 3) Stuff inside AC_REQUIRE gets autoupdated even when that breaks the usage of AC_REQUIRE (similar to the previous) 4) If someone had been writing their configure.ac to abide by certain style rules (e.g. 80-character line limits), autoupdate will ignore those and reformat things I've been noticing a bunch of these while autoupdating various stuff over the years but am only getting around to writing them down as of my beginning of work on autoupdating the GCC configury as per this bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=103459 Should I open separate bugs for each additional item that I notice, or just continue to catalogue them here? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110324> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
