|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.13
|
|
** The manual is now distributed under the terms of FDL 1.3.
|
|
** The `divert' and `undivert' builtins have been made more efficient
|
|
when using temporary files for large diversions.
|
|
** The `translit' builtin has been made more efficient when the second
|
|
argument is short.
|
|
** The input engine has been optimized for faster processing.
|
|
** The command line option `--debugfile', introduced in 1.4.7, now
|
|
treats its argument as optional, in order to allow setting the debug
|
|
output back to stderr when used without an argument; and order is now
|
|
significant with respect to command line files. You must therefore use
|
|
`m4 --debugfile=trace file', not `m4 file --debugfile trace'. This
|
|
change does not affect the deprecated `-o'/`--error-output' option.
|
|
** The `syscmd' and `esyscmd' builtins can be configured to use an
|
|
alternate shell, via the new `configure' option `--with-syscmd-shell'.
|
|
** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.

Sat Oct 11 21:08:03 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.12.
|
|
** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.4b where using `traceon' could delete
|
|
a macro. This was most noticeable with `traceon(`traceon')', but
|
|
would also happen in cases such as `foo(traceon(`foo'))'.
|
|
** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.7 where `m4 -N9' died with an assertion
|
|
failure.
|
|
** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.11 where `defn' died with an assertion
|
|
failure on a traced but undefined macro.
|
|
** New `-g'/`--gnu' command-line option overrides `-G'/`--traditional'.
|
|
For now, the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT has no effect on M4
|
|
behavior; but a future release of M4 will behave as though --traditional
|
|
is implied if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set (this future change is necessary,
|
|
because in the current release, there is no way to disable GNU
|
|
extensions that conflict with POSIX without the use of a non-POSIX
|
|
command-line argument). Clients of M4 that want to use GNU extensions,
|
|
even when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, should start using the -g command-line
|
|
argument, even though it is currently a no-op if -G did not appear
|
|
earlier in the command line, so that the client will not break in the
|
|
face of an upgraded m4 and a POSIXLY_CORRECT execution environment.
|
|
** The `-L'/`--nesting-limit' command-line option now defaults to 0 for
|
|
unlimited on platforms that can detect and deal with stack overflow. On
|
|
systems that lack alternate stack support, such as Cygwin, and on
|
|
systems that do not obey the POSIX semantics for distinguishing stack
|
|
overflow from other exceptions, such as Linux, you can optionally
|
|
install the libsigsegv library (version 2.6 or newer recommended) to
|
|
enhance m4's ability to accurately report stack overflow:

Thu Apr 3 10:32:47 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.11.
|
|
** Security fixes for the -F option, for bugs present since -F was
|
|
introduced in 1.3: Avoid core dump with 'm4 -F file -t undefined', and
|
|
avoid arbitrary code execution with certain file names.
|
|
** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.9b in the `divert' builtin when more
|
|
than 512 kibibytes are saved in diversions on platforms like NetBSD
|
|
or darwin where fopen(name,"a+") seeks to the end of the file.
|
|
** The output of the `maketemp' and `mkstemp' builtins is now quoted if a
|
|
file was created. This is a minor security fix, because it was possible
|
|
(although rather unlikely) that an unquoted string could match an
|
|
existing macro name, such that use of the `mkstemp' output would trigger
|
|
inadvertent macro expansion and operate on the wrong file name.
|
|
** Enhance the `defn' builtin to support concatenation of multiple text
|
|
arguments, as required by POSIX. However, at this time, it is not
|
|
possible to concatenate a builtin macro with anything else; a warning is
|
|
now issued if this is attempted, although a future version of M4 may
|
|
lift this restriction to match other implementations.
|
|
** Enhance the `format' builtin to parse all C99 floating point numbers,
|
|
even on platforms where strtod(3) is buggy, although the replacement
|
|
function does have the known issue of rounding errors when parsing
|
|
some decimal floating point values. This fixes testsuite failures
|
|
introduced in 1.4.9b.
|
|
** Enhance the `index' builtin to guarantee linear behavior, in spite of
|
|
the surprisingly large number of systems with a brain-dead quadratic
|
|
strstr(3).
|
|
** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Tue Jul 10 13:55:30 CEST 2007 - schwab@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.10.
|
|
* Upgrade from GPL version 2 to GPL version 3 or later.
|
|
* A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.
|
|
* Avoid undefined behavior introduced in 1.4.9b in the `format' builtin
|
|
when handling %c. However, this area of code has never been documented,
|
|
and currently does not match the POSIX behavior of printf(1), so it may
|
|
have further changes in the next version.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Fri Mar 23 23:31:50 CET 2007 - schwab@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.9.
|
|
* Minor documentation and portability cleanups.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Mon Dec 4 11:13:03 CET 2006 - schwab@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.8.
|
|
* The `divert' macro and `-H'/`--hashsize' command line option no longer
|
|
cause a core dump when handed extra large values. Also, `divert' now
|
|
uses memory proportional to the number of diversions in use, rather than
|
|
to the maximum diversion number encountered, so that large diversion
|
|
numbers are less likely to exhaust system memory; and is no longer
|
|
limited by the maximum number of file descriptors.
|
|
* The `--help' and `--version' command line options now consistently
|
|
override all earlier options. For example, `m4 --debugfile=trace
|
|
--help' now no longer accidentally creates an empty file `trace'.
|
|
* The `-L'/`--nesting-limit' command line option can now be set to 0
|
|
to remove the default limit of 1024. However, it is still possible that
|
|
heavily nested input can cause abrupt program termination due to stack
|
|
overflow.
|
|
* Problems encountered when writing to standard error, such as with the
|
|
`errprint' macro, now always cause a non-zero exit status.
|
|
* Warnings and errors issued during macro expansion are now consistently
|
|
reported at the line where the macro name was detected, rather than
|
|
where the close parenthesis resides. Text wrapped by `m4wrap' now
|
|
remembers the location that was in effect when m4wrap was invoked,
|
|
rather than changing to line 0 and the empty string for a file. The
|
|
macros `__line__' and `__file__' now work correctly even as the last
|
|
token in an included file.
|
|
* The `builtin' and `indir' macros now transparently handle builtin
|
|
tokens generated by `defn'.
|
|
* When diversions created by the `divert' macro collect enough text that
|
|
M4 must use temporary files, the environment variable $TMPDIR is now
|
|
consulted, and a better effort is made to clean up those files in the
|
|
event of a fatal signal.
|
|
* The `mkstemp' builtin is added with the same GNU semantics as `maketemp',
|
|
based on the recommendation of POSIX to deprecate the POSIX semantics of
|
|
`maketemp' as inherently insecure. In GNU mode (no -G supplied on the
|
|
command line), `maketemp' silently retains the secure GNU semantics, but
|
|
a future release of M4 will change this to emit a warning. In
|
|
traditional mode (m4 -G), `maketemp' now uses the POSIX-mandated insecure
|
|
semantics, and issues a warning that you should convert your script to
|
|
use `mkstemp' instead. Additionally, `mkstemp' and `maketemp' are now
|
|
well-defined even if the template argument does not end in six `X'
|
|
characters.
|
|
* The manual has been improved, including a new section on a composite
|
|
macro `foreach'.
|
|
* The `changecom' and `changequote' macros now treat an empty second
|
|
argument the same as if it were missing, rather than using the empty
|
|
string and making it impossible to end a comment or quote.
|
|
* The `translit' macro now operates in linear instead of quadratic time,
|
|
and is now eight-bit clean.
|
|
* The `-D', `-U', `-s', and `-t' command line options now take effect
|
|
after any files encountered earlier on the command line, rather than up
|
|
front, as is done in traditional implementations and required by POSIX.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Mon Sep 25 15:39:25 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.6.
|
|
* Fix regression from 1.4.5 in handling a file that ends in a macro
|
|
expansion without arguments instead of a newline.
|
|
* The define and pushdef macros now warn when the first argument is not
|
|
a string, rather than silently doing nothing.
|
|
* Standard input can now be read more than once, as in 'm4 - file -', and
|
|
is not closed until all wrapped text is handled. This makes a
|
|
difference when stdin is not a regular file, and also fixes bugs when
|
|
using the syscmd or esyscmd macros from wrapped text.
|
|
* When standard input is a seekable file, the m4exit, syscmd, and esyscmd
|
|
macros now restore the current position to the next unread byte rather
|
|
than discarding an arbitrary amount of buffered data.
|
|
* SysV command-line compatibility is no longer a goal of GNU M4; the
|
|
focus will be instead on POSIX compatibility. This release continues to
|
|
support previous usage, but adds warnings in areas which will allow a
|
|
future version of GNU M4 to use its own extensions without being tied to
|
|
the SysV command line interface.
|
|
* The no-op compatibility command line options -B, -N, -S, -T, and
|
|
--diversions may be withdrawn or assigned new meanings in future
|
|
releases, so they now issue a warning if used.
|
|
* A new command line option -i replaces the compatibility -e as the
|
|
short spelling of --interactive, for consistency with other GNU tools; a
|
|
warning is issued if the old spelling is used, and it may be assigned new
|
|
meaning in future releases.
|
|
* A new command line option --debugfile replaces the options -o and
|
|
--error-output as the preferred spelling. The old options were
|
|
misleading in their names and inconsistent with other GNU tools; they are
|
|
still silently accepted, but no longer documented in --help, and may be
|
|
assigned new meanings in future releases.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Sat Aug 26 09:20:43 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.6.
|
|
* Fix buffer overruns in regexp and patsubst macros when handed a trailing
|
|
backslash in the replacement text, or when handling \n substitutions
|
|
beyond the number of \(\) groups.
|
|
* Fix memory leak in regexp, patsubst, and changeword macros.
|
|
* The format macro now understands %F, %g, and %G.
|
|
* When loading frozen files, m4 now exits with status 63 if version
|
|
mismatch is detected.
|
|
* Fix bugs that occurred when invoked with stdout or stderr closed,
|
|
and detect write failures to stdout or to the target of the
|
|
debugfile macro. In particular, the syscmd and esyscmd macros can
|
|
no longer interfere with the debug stream or diversions.
|
|
* The m4exit macro now converts values outside the range 0-255 to 1.
|
|
* It is now an error if a command-line input file ends in the middle of a
|
|
comment, matching the behavior of mid-string and mid-argument
|
|
collection.
|
|
* The dnl macro now warns if end of file is encountered instead of a
|
|
newline.
|
|
* The error message when end of file is encountered now uses the file and
|
|
line where the dangling construct started, rather than `NONE:0:'.
|
|
* The debugmode and __file__ macros, and the -s/--synclines option, now
|
|
show what directory a file was found in when the -I/--include option or
|
|
M4PATH variable had an effect.
|
|
* The changequote and changecom macros now work with 8-bit characters, and
|
|
quotes and comments that begin with `(' are properly recognized
|
|
following a word.
|
|
* The new macro __program__ is added, which allows the input file to issue
|
|
an error message that resembles messages from m4. Warning and error
|
|
messages have been reformatted to comply with GNU Coding Standards.
|
|
* The errprint, m4wrap, and shift macros are now recognized only with
|
|
arguments.
|
|
* The index, substr, translit, regexp, and patsubst macros now produce
|
|
output when given only one argument, but still warn about a missing
|
|
second argument.
|
|
* The patsubst macro now reliably finds zero-length matches at the end
|
|
of a string.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Mon Jul 17 13:30:00 CEST 2006 - schwab@suse.de
|
|
|
|
- Update to m4 1.4.5.
|
|
* Fix sysval on BeOS, OS/2, and other systems that store exit status
|
|
in the low-order byte. Additionally, on Unix platforms, if syscmd was
|
|
terminated by a signal, sysval now displays the signal number shifted
|
|
left by eight bits, to match traditional m4 implementations.
|
|
* The maketemp macro is no longer subject to platform limitations (such as
|
|
26 or 32 max files from a given template).
|
|
* Frozen files now require that the first directive be V (version), to
|
|
better diagnose version mismatch. Additionally, if the F directive
|
|
(builtin function) names an unknown builtin that existed in the m4 that
|
|
froze the file but not in the current m4 (for example, changeword), the
|
|
warning is deferred until an attempt is made to actually use the
|
|
builtin. This allows downgrading from beta m4-1.4o to stable m4-1.4.5
|
|
without breaking autoconf.
|
|
* The format and indir macros are now recognized only with arguments.
|
|
* The eval macro no longer crashes on x86 architectures when dividing the
|
|
minimum integer by -1.
|
|
* On systems with ecvt and fcvt, format no longer truncates trailing
|
|
zeroes on integers printed with %.0f. On systems without these
|
|
functions, format is no longer subject to a buffer overflow that
|
|
permitted arbitrary code execution.
|
|
* On native Windows builds, the macro __windows__ is provided instead of
|
|
__unix__. Likewise, on OS/2 builds, the macro __os2__ is provided. This
|
|
allows input files to determine when syscmd might behave differently.
|
|
* Fix bug in 1.4.3 patch to use \n line-endings that did not work for
|
|
cygwin.
|
|
* When given the empty string or 0, undivert is now documented as a no-op
|
|
rather than closing stdout, warning about a non-existent file, or trying
|
|
to read a directory as a file.
|
|
* Many documentation improvements. Also, the manual is now distributed
|
|
under FDL 1.2, rather than a stricter verbatim-only license.
|
|
* Raise the -L (--nesting-limit) command line option limit from 250 to
|
|
1024.
|
|
* The decr, incr, divert, m4exit, and substr macros treat an empty number
|
|
as 0, issue a warning, and expand as normal; rather than issuing an error
|
|
and expanding to the empty string.
|
|
* The eval macro now treats an empty radix argument as 10, handles radix 1,
|
|
and treats the width argument as number of digits excluding the sign,
|
|
for compatibility with other m4 implementations.
|
|
* The ifdef, divert, m4exit, substr, and translit macros now correctly
|
|
ignore extra arguments.
|
|
* The popdef and undefine macros now correctly accept multiple arguments.
|
|
* Although changeword is on its last leg, if enabled, it now reverts to the
|
|
default (faster) regexp when passed the empty string.
|
|
* The regexp and substr macros now warn and ignore a trailing backslash in
|
|
the replacement, and warn on \n for n larger than the number of
|
|
sub-expressions in the regexp.
|
|
* Fix a recursive push_string crashing bug, which affected changequote of
|
|
three or more characters on some compilers.
|
|
* Use automake to fix build portability issues.
|
|
* Fix a recursive m4wrap crashing bug.
|
|
* Fix a 1 in 2**32 hash crashing bug.
|
|
* Tracing a macro by name is now persistent, even if the macro is
|
|
subsequently undefined or redefined. The traceon and traceoff macros no
|
|
longer warn about undefined symbols. This solves a crash when using
|
|
indir on an undefined macro traced with the -t option, as well as an
|
|
incorrect result of ifdef. Furthermore, tracing is no longer transferred
|
|
with builtins, solving the bug of "m4 -tm4_eval" failing to give trace
|
|
output on the input "define(`m4_eval',defn(`eval'))m4_eval(1)".
|
|
* Fix a crash when a macro is undefined while collecting its arguments, by
|
|
always using the definition that was in effect before argument
|
|
collection. This behavior matches the C pre-processor, and means that
|
|
the sequence "define(`f',`1')f(define(`f',`2'))f" is now documented to
|
|
result in "12", rather than the previously undocumented "22".
|
|
* Update the regex engine to fix several bugs.
|
|
* Fix a potential crash on machines where char is signed.
