I confirm that it's indeed a limitation of gencmdlist.sh. It may be possible to handle it by using C preprocessor before sed, but I don't think it's an urgent issue. It's shouldn't be a problem for properly indented source. > I am working now with a small script > written in Lua, but it is neither efficient, nor a good idea to add Lua > as a dependency.

It's working for now, but if we want to make it more reliable, I'd rather not ask a "sed guru". -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
