Indeed. I'll look into fixing that. But that means you can't quite use it on unsafe names in the meantime. On the other hand, why not use: AM_CONDITIONAL(AS_TR_CPP([[LIBUNISTRING_$1]]), [true]) such that you are using the LIBUNISTRING_ prefix as part of any potential macro name, and can thus have more assurance that the user's macros are not going to interfere unless they created macros that interfered with your namespace. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
