format isn't used very much in the autotools: m4 branch-1_4: currently %c is undocumented, and no existing examples use it no examples use \ m4 head: one example uses it, but when I wrote that example earlier this year, I found it clunky, so I have no qualms changing it no examples use \ autoconf: lib/autotest/general.m4 - %d and %s, no \ lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 - %s, no \ automake: not found libtool: not found gnulib/m4: not found > Nah, that looks like over-engineering.

OK, no overengineering necessary. :) I'll have the patch ready within the week. -- Eric Blake -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-format-bug-tf3843938.html#a10895501 Sent from the Gnu - M4 - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ M4-discuss mailing list M4-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/m4-discuss
