Here's another one (tested with 13f9957):
* m4 gives comments higher precedence than macros (ie. if there is an
ambiguity between a macro and a comment, then the comment wins).
But this true even when changecom happens in the middle of parsing a
macro's arguments (and alas, this means that you CAN'T reliably peek
ahead to see where a macro's closing ) is, because actions taken by
argument collection may change syntax on the fly and thus change
where the closing ) comes from).
$ m4
define(a, b changecom(`((', `))') (( ) ) )
)) c)
a
b (( ) ) )
)) c
$ m4p
define(a, b changecom(`((', `))') (( ) ) )
)) c)
