I vote for (b) with the presumption that the PCRE code honors the
defined/undefined specifications. For example, when the file says:
/* Define to any value to enable the 16 bit PCRE library. */
/* #undef SUPPORT_PCRE16 */
then "any value" should not be used when a PCRE file contains a
"#if SUPPORT_PCRE16" because the "any value" someone puts there would
have to evaluate to boolean True.
Indeed. I believe that there are no instances of lines like "#if
SUPPORT_PCRE16"; they all use #ifdef (or equivalent). Incidentally, I've
checked the config file produced by CMake, and it too uses #undef for
unset options (same as autoconf).
There seems to be general support for (b) so far, so I will proceed with
arranging for suitable comments to end up in the code. What do people
think about the added lines such as these:
/* Define to 1 if you have the <stdint.h> header file. */
#ifndef HAVE_STDINT_H <============ Added line =============
#define HAVE_STDINT_H 1
#endif <============ Added line =============
Should that end up as (a):
/* Define to any value if you have the <stdint.h> header file. */
/* Use #undef to undefine if you do not. */
#ifndef HAVE_STDINT_H <============ Added line =============
#define HAVE_STDINT_H 1
#endif <============ Added line =============
or (b):
/* Define to any value if you have the <stdint.h> header file. */
/* Use #undef to undefine if you do not. */
#define HAVE_STDINT_H 1
It seems to be that (a) doesn't really make sense.
