Grrr, se have a problem with GNU sed which uses a definition for \b which is not what I thought it was. Or maybe it's a recent update of my libc which is responsible. Still, I think rewriting autoupdate in Perl will happen sooner than I thought. The problem we have (there is a failure in the test suite for this) is the following: /tmp % cat configure.ac nostromo 16:30 AC_INIT AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS([echo toto]) AC_OUTPUT /tmp % cat au26969/quote.sed nostromo 16:32 s!\bAC_OUTPUT\b!_au_changequote([,])&! s!\bAC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS\b!_au_changequote([,])&! /tmp % sed -f au26969/quote.sed configure.ac nostromo 16:32 AC_INIT _au_changequote([,])_au_changequote([,])AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS([echo toto]) _au_changequote([,])AC_OUTPUT There are two _au_changequote([,]) for AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS, and of course this is very bad for M4. Suggestions?
