There's still an issue with argument collection where you are accidentally expanding a $@ that only exists as a result of whatever gets substituted into $1 and so on (tested at commit 852a0f): $ m4 define(b,`.$1$2.')dnl b($,1) .$1. b($,@) .$@. $ m4p define(b,`.$1$2.')dnl b($,1) .$1. b($,@) .$,@. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
