Follow-up Comment #3, sr #105855 (project m4): Also, have a look at the m4_bpatsubsts() macro in Autoconf's m4sugar.m4. It's basically the same idea, but comes with a major caveat:
# I would have liked to name this macro `m4_bpatsubst', unfortunately, # due to quotation problems, I need to double quote $1 below, therefore # the anchors are broken :( I can't let users be trapped by that. This would appear to be a pretty strong confirmation that a multi-op patsubst() cannot be properly achieved by way of composites. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?105855> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-m4 mailing list Bug-m4@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-m4
