# Both `m4_ifval' and `m4_ifset' tests against the empty string. The
# difference is that `m4_ifset' is specialized on macros.
#
# In case of arguments of macros, eg $[1], it makes little difference.
# In the case of a macro `FOO', you don't want to check `m4_ifval(FOO,
# TRUE)', because if `FOO' expands with commas, there is a shifting of
# the arguments. So you want to run `m4_ifval([FOO])', but then you just
# compare the *string* `FOO' against `', which, of course fails.
#

# If this macro is both defined and defined to a non empty value, then
# it runs TRUE etc.

# Implementing `foreach' loops in m4 is much more tricky than it may
# seem. Actually, the example of a `foreach' loop in the m4
# documentation is wrong: it does not quote the arguments properly,
# which leads to undesired expansions.
#
# The example in the documentation is:
#
# | # foreach(VAR, (LIST), STMT)
# | m4_define([foreach],
# | [m4_pushdef([$1])_foreach([$1], [$2], [$3])m4_popdef([$1])])
# | m4_define([_arg1], [$1])
# | m4_define([_foreach],
# | [m4_if([$2], [()], ,
# | [m4_define([$1], _arg1$2)$3[]_foreach([$1],
# | (shift$2),
# | [$3])])])
#
# But then if you run
#
# | m4_define(a, 1)
# | m4_define(b, 2)
# | m4_define(c, 3)
# | foreach([f], [([a], [(b], [c)])], [echo f
# | ])
#
# it gives
#
# => echo 1
# => echo (2,3)
#
# which is not what is expected.
#
# Of course the problem is that many quotes are missing. So you add
# plenty of quotes at random places, until you reach the expected
# result. Alternatively, if you are a quoting wizard, you directly
# reach the following implementation (but if you really did, then
# apply to the maintenance of m4sugar!).
#
# | # foreach(VAR, (LIST), STMT)
# | m4_define([foreach], [m4_pushdef([$1])_foreach($@)m4_popdef([$1])])
# | m4_define([_arg1], [[$1]])

# | [m4_if($2, [()], ,
# | [m4_define([$1], [_arg1$2])$3[]_foreach([$1],
# | [(shift$2)],
# | [$3])])])
#
# which this time answers
#
# => echo a
# => echo (b
# => echo c)
#
# Bingo!
#
# Well, not quite.
#
# With a better look, you realize that the parens are more a pain than
# a help: since anyway you need to quote properly the list, you end up
# with always using an outermost pair of parens and an outermost pair
# of quotes. Rejecting the parens both eases the implementation, and
# simplifies the use:
#
# | # foreach(VAR, (LIST), STMT)
# | m4_define([foreach], [m4_pushdef([$1])_foreach($@)m4_popdef([$1])])
# | m4_define([_arg1], [$1])

# | [m4_if($2, [], ,
# | [m4_define([$1], [_arg1($2)])$3[]_foreach([$1],
# | [shift($2)],
# | [$3])])])
#
#
# Now, just replace the `$2' with `m4_quote($2)' in the outer `m4_if'
# to improve robustness, and you come up with a quite satisfactory
# implementation.
# m4_foreach(VARIABLE, LIST, EXPRESSION)
# --------------------------------------
#
# Expand EXPRESSION assigning each value of the LIST to VARIABLE.
# LIST should have the form `item_1, item_2, ..., item_n', i.e. the
# whole list must *quoted*. Quote members too if you don't want them
# to be expanded.
#

# | m4_define(active, [ACT, IVE])

## 8. Defining macros with bells and whistles. ##
## -------------------------------------------- ##
# `m4_defun' is basically `m4_define' but it equips the macro with the
# needed machinery for `m4_require'. A macro must be m4_defun'd if
# either it is m4_require'd, or it m4_require's.
#
# Two things deserve attention and are detailed below:
# 1. Implementation of m4_require
# 2. Keeping track of the expansion stack
#
# 1. Implementation of m4_require
# ===============================
#
# Of course m4_defun AC_PROVIDE's the macro, so that a macro which has
# been expanded is not expanded again when m4_require'd, but the
# difficult part is the proper expansion of macros when they are
# m4_require'd.
#
# The implementation is based on two ideas, (i) using diversions to
# prepare the expansion of the macro and its dependencies (by Fran<61>ois
# Pinard), and (ii) expand the most recently m4_require'd macros _after_
# the previous macros (by Axel Thimm).
#
#
# The first idea: why using diversions?
# -------------------------------------
#
# When a macro requires another, the other macro is expanded in new
# diversion, GROW. When the outer macro is fully expanded, we first
# undivert the most nested diversions (GROW - 1...), and finally
# undivert GROW. To understand why we need several diversions,
# consider the following example:
#
# | m4_defun([TEST1], [Test...REQUIRE([TEST2])1])
# | m4_defun([TEST2], [Test...REQUIRE([TEST3])2])
# | m4_defun([TEST3], [Test...3])
#
# Because m4_require is not required to be first in the outer macros, we
# must keep the expansions of the various level of m4_require separated.
# Right before executing the epilogue of TEST1, we have:
#
# GROW - 2: Test...3
# GROW - 1: Test...2
# GROW: Test...1
# BODY:
#
# Finally the epilogue of TEST1 undiverts GROW - 2, GROW - 1, and
# GROW into the regular flow, BODY.
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW:
# BODY: Test...3; Test...2; Test...1
#
# (The semicolons are here for clarification, but of course are not
# emitted.) This is what Autoconf 2.0 (I think) to 2.13 (I'm sure)
# implement.
#
#
# The second idea: first required first out
# -----------------------------------------
#
# The natural implementation of the idea above is buggy and produces
# very surprising results in some situations. Let's consider the
# following example to explain the bug:
#
# | m4_defun([TEST1], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])REQUIRE([TEST2b])])
# | m4_defun([TEST2a], [])
# | m4_defun([TEST2b], [REQUIRE([TEST3])])
# | m4_defun([TEST3], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])])
# |
# | AC_INIT
# | TEST1
#
# The dependencies between the macros are:
#
# 3 --- 2b
# / \ is m4_require'd by
# / \ left -------------------- right
# 2a ------------ 1
#
# If you strictly apply the rules given in the previous section you get:
#
# GROW - 2: TEST3
# GROW - 1: TEST2a; TEST2b
# GROW: TEST1
# BODY:
#
# (TEST2a, although required by TEST3 is not expanded in GROW - 3
# because is has already been expanded before in GROW - 1, so it has
# been AC_PROVIDE'd, so it is not expanded again) so when you undivert
# the stack of diversions, you get:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW:
# BODY: TEST3; TEST2a; TEST2b; TEST1
#
# i.e., TEST2a is expanded after TEST3 although the latter required the
# former.
#
# Starting from 2.50, uses an implementation provided by Axel Thimm.
# The idea is simple: the order in which macros are emitted must be the
# same as the one in which macro are expanded. (The bug above can
# indeed be described as: a macro has been AC_PROVIDE'd, but it is
# emitted after: the lack of correlation between emission and expansion
# order is guilty).
#
# How to do that? You keeping the stack of diversions to elaborate the
# macros, but each time a macro is fully expanded, emit it immediately.
#
# In the example above, when TEST2a is expanded, but it's epilogue is
# not run yet, you have:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1: TEST2a
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY:
#
# The epilogue of TEST2a emits it immediately:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY: TEST2a
#
# TEST2b then requires TEST3, so right before the epilogue of TEST3, you
# have:
#
# GROW - 2: TEST3
# GROW - 1: Elaboration of TEST2b
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY: TEST2a
#
# The epilogue of TEST3 emits it:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1: Elaboration of TEST2b
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3
#
# TEST2b is now completely expanded, and emitted:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3; TEST2b
#
# and finally, TEST1 is finished and emitted:
#
# GROW - 2:
# GROW - 1:
# GROW:
# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3; TEST2b: TEST1
#
# The idea, is simple, but the implementation is a bit evolved. If you
# are like me, you will want to see the actual functioning of this
# implementation to be convinced. The next section gives the full
# details.
#
#
# The Axel Thimm implementation at work
# -------------------------------------
#
# We consider the macros above, and this configure.ac:
#
# AC_INIT
# TEST1
#
# You should keep the definitions of _m4_defun_pro, _m4_defun_epi, and
# m4_require at hand to follow the steps.
#
# This implements tries not to assume that of the current diversion is
# BODY, so as soon as a macro (m4_defun'd) is expanded, we first
# record the current diversion under the name _m4_divert_dump (denoted
# DUMP below for short). This introduces an important difference with
# the previous versions of Autoconf: you cannot use m4_require if you
# were not inside an m4_defun'd macro, and especially, you cannot
# m4_require directly from the top level.
#
# We have not tried to simulate the old behavior (better yet, we
# diagnose it), because it is too dangerous: a macro m4_require'd from
# the top level is expanded before the body of `configure', i.e., before
# any other test was run. I let you imagine the result of requiring
# AC_STDC_HEADERS for instance, before AC_PROG_CC was actually run....
#
# After AC_INIT was run, the current diversion is BODY.
# * AC_INIT was run
# DUMP: undefined
# diversion stack: BODY |-
#
# * TEST1 is expanded
# The prologue of TEST1 sets AC_DIVERSION_DUMP, which is the diversion
# where the current elaboration will be dumped, to the current

# expansion of TEST1 and its dependencies will be elaborated.

#
# 2. Keeping track of the expansion stack
# =======================================
#
# When M4 expansion goes wrong it is often extremely hard to find the
# path amongst macros that drove to the failure. What is needed is
# the stack of macro `calls'. One could imagine that GNU M4 would
# maintain a stack of macro expansions, unfortunately it doesn't, so
# we do it by hand. This is of course extremely costly, but the help
# this stack provides is worth it. Nevertheless to limit the
# performance penalty this is implemented only for m4_defun'd macros,
# not for define'd macros.
#
# The scheme is simplistic: each time we enter an m4_defun'd macros,
# we prepend its name in m4_expansion_stack, and when we exit the
# macro, we remove it (thanks to pushdef/popdef).
#
# In addition, we want to use the expansion stack to detect circular
# m4_require dependencies. This means we need to browse the stack to
# check whether a macro being expanded is m4_require'd. For ease of
# implementation, and certainly for the benefit of performances, we
# don't browse the m4_expansion_stack, rather each time we expand a
# macro FOO we define _m4_expanding(FOO). Then m4_require(BAR) simply
# needs to check whether _m4_expanding(BAR) is defined to diagnose a
# circular dependency.
#
# To improve the diagnostic, in addition to keeping track of the stack
# of macro calls, m4_expansion_stack also records the m4_require
# stack. Note that therefore an m4_defun'd macro being required will
# appear twice in the stack: the first time because it is required,
# the second because it is expanded. We can avoid this, but it has
# two small drawbacks: (i) the implementation is slightly more
# complex, and (ii) it hides the difference between define'd macros
# (which don't appear in m4_expansion_stack) and m4_defun'd macros
# (which do). The more debugging information, the better.
