-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to NightStrike on 2/18/2008 10:40 PM: | I have a configure.ac file with a line like this: | | #AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM is obsolete | | When I run autoupdate, it changes that line to read: | | #AC_CANONICAL_TARGET is obsolete | | | Shouldn't autoupdate ignore comments when scanning for macro names | that need to updating? I'm not sure that this is wise, since how do you tell a true m4 comment apart from quoted content like [#include <stdlib.h>]? It might be possible to patch autoupdate to no longer disable comments, but I don't know how easy it would be, since autoupdate does quite a bit of m4 magic in defining which macros exist at which time, nor do I know if it would break other things. | Or am I doing something wrong? No - for now, the fact that autoupdate disables all comments (or in other words, updates the contents of comments) is intentional - look at autoupdate, for the definition of __au_disable. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
