According to Jim Meyering on 3/1/2008 11:26 AM:
| +  while (1)
| +    {
| +      size_t len;
| +      const char *buffer = next_buffer (&len, false);
| +      if (buffer)
| +       {
| +         const char *p = (char *) memchr (buffer, '\n', len);
|
| That cast looks unnecessary -- unless you care about C++ compilers.

Yes, at one point, I got M4 to compile with C++; I've tried to keep it
that way (although inadvertent regressions may have crept in since).  In
other words, I deliberately added that cast.  It's a shame that memchr is
prototyped to return void* instead of char*.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
