--- Begin Message ---Package: autoconf Version: 2.58-7 Severity: minor When I type AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-foo[=value]], [enable foo (default: def)]), I expect that a line --enable-foo[=value] enable foo (default: def) is generated. But the brackets are omitted. To get the brackets, I have to type AC_DEFUN([ri_GCC_WARNINGS], [AC_ARG_ENABLE([gcc-warnings], [AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-gcc-warnings[[[[=error]]]]], [enable additional gcc warning flags])], [...])]) I think I have quoted everything correctly. Because this behaviour is not intuitive (I don't know where the three quoting levels disappear), I consider it a bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux wwid 2.4.21-3-k7 #1 Sun Jul 20 19:23:36 EST 2003 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Versions of packages autoconf depends on: ii debianutils 2.6 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii m4 1.4-17 a macro processing language ii perl 5.8.1-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---This bug was originally described as: When I type AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-foo[=value]], [enable foo (default: def)]), I expect that a line --enable-foo[=value] enable foo (default: def) is generated. But the brackets are omitted. To get the brackets, I have to type [...lots of brackets...] Ralf Wildenhues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> then pointed out: Use quadrigraphs instead: @<:@ and @:>@ Once Autoconf-2.60 is out, use that: it will get the indentation right. Now, Debian has Autoconf from CVS that should get the indentation right. Thus, that remaining part of the bug should be fixed. If it has not been, please do re-open the bug with some additional information. -- Ben Pfaff email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://benpfaff.org
