-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Bruno Haible on 3/6/2008 6:49 AM: | When I write a piece of C code (INCLUDES or FUNCTION-BODY), in 99% of the cases | I want brackets to denote array dimensions or array indices. I don't want them | to expand to nothing. | | You say that AC_TRY_COMPILE has the wrong quoting rules. But I am using the | macro for 15 years, and as a user I assert you that it has the right quoting | rules that I want. It's the wrong quoting rules, insofar that you cannot use an m4 macro to expand to a list of files to be included. And that's exactly what AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT is meant to be. | As a user, I want the quoting rules of AC_TRY_COMPILE. I don't want array | expressions to expand into nonsense by default. And I want the ability to | copy&paste code snippets from a .m4 file to a .c file and back. That's still possible - put your [[ and ]] on the outside bounds of the snippet (and not on each [ and ] within the snippet). - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
