Bug#815369: [BUG] command line definitions not expanded
Hi Gavin,
no idea, guess so. I'll try on texinfo 4.8 in stable. I just was informed of
the report and it seems that it was working before.
I'll investigate, and hope that the maintainer of the package will comment, too.
Thanks
Norbert

Did this ever work, and if so, which version of texinfo.tex and texi2dvi?

Ahh, I see. The original did have a line like this:
@setfilename @value{cmd1}.info
so it might be necessary to add it *before* this line.
Here is the had of the original file (gnat_rm.texi):
\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
@c %**start of header
@setfilename @value{fngnatrm}.info
@documentencoding UTF-8
@ifinfo
@*Generated by Sphinx 1.3b2.@*
@end ifinfo
@settitle GNAT Reference Manual
@defindex ge
@paragraphindent 0
@exampleindent 4
@finalout
@dircategory GNU Ada Tools
@direntry
* @value{fngnatrmlong}: (@value{fngnatrm}). Reference Manual for GNU Ada tools.
@end direntry
@definfoenclose strong,`,'
@definfoenclose emph,`,'
@c %**end of header
Maybe better to add it *before* the @setfilename directive?
Thanks

The problem is that @setfilename is missing from the file, and
texi2dvi looks for that line to add the extra line. @setfilename was
required before, so this isn't a regression (I hope).
Here's a patch. Please try it, and if it works fine, I'll commit it
and upload the new texi2dvi.
It might work fine just to always add the extra lines after the first,
depending on how people use this command: for example, --command
"\ngngnngng" would break for older versions of texinfo.tex (similarly
index commands could break, and possibly others as well). I can't
think of a likely use-case which would break, but it's more reliable
to do it this way.

Bug#815369: [BUG] command line definitions not expanded
Hi Gavin, hi all
(please keep Cc)
I am sorry for all the bug reports, but here is the next one that
surfaced when building the documentation for gcc.
In short, it seems that definitions given on the command line
--command='@set foobar value'
are not properly expanded in the aux files.
Here a minimal not working example:
The following code works without problems:
\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
@set cmd1 HELLO
What ever
@anchor{@value{cmd1} doc}@anchor{0}
Here we go
@bye
But when I remove the @set line and instead call
texi2pdf --command='@set cmd1 HELLO' mwe.texi
I get the following error:
/home/norbert/Debian/gcc-doc/mwe/mwe.aux:1: TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input
stack size=5000].
@value ->@begingroup @makevalueexpandable
@valuexxx
.
l.1 ..., used in @value, is not set.} doc-title}{}
The reason is that the mwe.aux file contains:
@xrdef{{[No value for ``cmd1'']}@message {Variable `cmd1', used in @value, is
not set.} doc-title}{}
@xrdef{{[No value for ``cmd1'']}@message {Variable `cmd1', used in @value, is
not set.} doc-snt}{}
@xrdef{0-title}{}
@xrdef{0-snt}{}
@xrdef{{[No value for ``cmd1'']}\message {Variable `cmd1', used in @value, is
not set.} doc-pg}{1}
@xrdef{0-pg}{1}
Thanks for consideration
Norbert
