687# With a better look, you realize that the parens are more a pain than

689# with always using an outermost pair of parens and an outermost pair
690# of quotes. Rejecting the parens both eases the implementation, and

827## 8. Defining macros with bells and whistles. ##
828## -------------------------------------------- ##
829
830# `m4_defun' is basically `m4_define' but it equips the macro with the
831# needed machinery for `m4_require'. A macro must be m4_defun'd if
832# either it is m4_require'd, or it m4_require's.
833#
834# Two things deserve attention and are detailed below:
835# 1. Implementation of m4_require
836# 2. Keeping track of the expansion stack
837#
838# 1. Implementation of m4_require
839# ===============================
840#
841# Of course m4_defun AC_PROVIDE's the macro, so that a macro which has
842# been expanded is not expanded again when m4_require'd, but the
843# difficult part is the proper expansion of macros when they are
844# m4_require'd.
845#
846# The implementation is based on two ideas, (i) using diversions to
ba1ecc07 847# prepare the expansion of the macro and its dependencies (by Franc,ois
ea6cfe9e
AD
848# Pinard), and (ii) expand the most recently m4_require'd macros _after_
849# the previous macros (by Axel Thimm).
850#
851#
852# The first idea: why using diversions?
853# -------------------------------------
854#
855# When a macro requires another, the other macro is expanded in new
856# diversion, GROW. When the outer macro is fully expanded, we first
857# undivert the most nested diversions (GROW - 1...), and finally
858# undivert GROW. To understand why we need several diversions,
859# consider the following example:
860#
861# | m4_defun([TEST1], [Test...REQUIRE([TEST2])1])
862# | m4_defun([TEST2], [Test...REQUIRE([TEST3])2])
863# | m4_defun([TEST3], [Test...3])
864#
865# Because m4_require is not required to be first in the outer macros, we
866# must keep the expansions of the various level of m4_require separated.
867# Right before executing the epilogue of TEST1, we have:
868#
869# GROW - 2: Test...3
870# GROW - 1: Test...2
871# GROW: Test...1
872# BODY:
873#
874# Finally the epilogue of TEST1 undiverts GROW - 2, GROW - 1, and
875# GROW into the regular flow, BODY.
876#
877# GROW - 2:
878# GROW - 1:
879# GROW:
880# BODY: Test...3; Test...2; Test...1
881#
882# (The semicolons are here for clarification, but of course are not
883# emitted.) This is what Autoconf 2.0 (I think) to 2.13 (I'm sure)
884# implement.
885#
886#
887# The second idea: first required first out
888# -----------------------------------------
889#
890# The natural implementation of the idea above is buggy and produces
891# very surprising results in some situations. Let's consider the
892# following example to explain the bug:
893#
894# | m4_defun([TEST1], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])REQUIRE([TEST2b])])
895# | m4_defun([TEST2a], [])
896# | m4_defun([TEST2b], [REQUIRE([TEST3])])
897# | m4_defun([TEST3], [REQUIRE([TEST2a])])
898# |
899# | AC_INIT
900# | TEST1
901#
902# The dependencies between the macros are:
903#
904# 3 --- 2b
905# / \ is m4_require'd by
906# / \ left -------------------- right
907# 2a ------------ 1
908#
909# If you strictly apply the rules given in the previous section you get:
910#
911# GROW - 2: TEST3
912# GROW - 1: TEST2a; TEST2b
913# GROW: TEST1
914# BODY:
915#
916# (TEST2a, although required by TEST3 is not expanded in GROW - 3
917# because is has already been expanded before in GROW - 1, so it has
918# been AC_PROVIDE'd, so it is not expanded again) so when you undivert
919# the stack of diversions, you get:
920#
921# GROW - 2:
922# GROW - 1:
923# GROW:
924# BODY: TEST3; TEST2a; TEST2b; TEST1
925#
926# i.e., TEST2a is expanded after TEST3 although the latter required the
927# former.
928#
929# Starting from 2.50, uses an implementation provided by Axel Thimm.
930# The idea is simple: the order in which macros are emitted must be the
931# same as the one in which macro are expanded. (The bug above can
932# indeed be described as: a macro has been AC_PROVIDE'd, but it is
933# emitted after: the lack of correlation between emission and expansion
934# order is guilty).
935#
936# How to do that? You keeping the stack of diversions to elaborate the
937# macros, but each time a macro is fully expanded, emit it immediately.
938#
939# In the example above, when TEST2a is expanded, but it's epilogue is
940# not run yet, you have:
941#
942# GROW - 2:
943# GROW - 1: TEST2a
944# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
945# BODY:
946#
947# The epilogue of TEST2a emits it immediately:
948#
949# GROW - 2:
950# GROW - 1:
951# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
952# BODY: TEST2a
953#
954# TEST2b then requires TEST3, so right before the epilogue of TEST3, you
955# have:
956#
957# GROW - 2: TEST3
958# GROW - 1: Elaboration of TEST2b
959# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
960# BODY: TEST2a
961#
962# The epilogue of TEST3 emits it:
963#
964# GROW - 2:
965# GROW - 1: Elaboration of TEST2b
966# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
967# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3
968#
969# TEST2b is now completely expanded, and emitted:
970#
971# GROW - 2:
972# GROW - 1:
973# GROW: Elaboration of TEST1
974# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3; TEST2b
975#
976# and finally, TEST1 is finished and emitted:
977#
978# GROW - 2:
979# GROW - 1:
980# GROW:
981# BODY: TEST2a; TEST3; TEST2b: TEST1
982#
983# The idea, is simple, but the implementation is a bit evolved. If you
984# are like me, you will want to see the actual functioning of this
985# implementation to be convinced. The next section gives the full
986# details.
987#
988#
989# The Axel Thimm implementation at work
990# -------------------------------------
991#
992# We consider the macros above, and this configure.ac:
993#
994# AC_INIT
995# TEST1
996#
997# You should keep the definitions of _m4_defun_pro, _m4_defun_epi, and
998# m4_require at hand to follow the steps.
999#
1000# This implements tries not to assume that of the current diversion is
1001# BODY, so as soon as a macro (m4_defun'd) is expanded, we first
1002# record the current diversion under the name _m4_divert_dump (denoted
1003# DUMP below for short). This introduces an important difference with
1004# the previous versions of Autoconf: you cannot use m4_require if you
1005# were not inside an m4_defun'd macro, and especially, you cannot
1006# m4_require directly from the top level.
1007#
1008# We have not tried to simulate the old behavior (better yet, we
1009# diagnose it), because it is too dangerous: a macro m4_require'd from
1010# the top level is expanded before the body of `configure', i.e., before
1011# any other test was run. I let you imagine the result of requiring
1012# AC_STDC_HEADERS for instance, before AC_PROG_CC was actually run....
1013#
1014# After AC_INIT was run, the current diversion is BODY.

1018#

1123# 2. Keeping track of the expansion stack
1124# =======================================
1125#
1126# When M4 expansion goes wrong it is often extremely hard to find the
1127# path amongst macros that drove to the failure. What is needed is
1128# the stack of macro `calls'. One could imagine that GNU M4 would
1129# maintain a stack of macro expansions, unfortunately it doesn't, so
1130# we do it by hand. This is of course extremely costly, but the help
1131# this stack provides is worth it. Nevertheless to limit the
1132# performance penalty this is implemented only for m4_defun'd macros,
1133# not for define'd macros.
1134#
1135# The scheme is simplistic: each time we enter an m4_defun'd macros,
1136# we prepend its name in m4_expansion_stack, and when we exit the
1137# macro, we remove it (thanks to pushdef/popdef).
1138#
1139# In addition, we want to use the expansion stack to detect circular
1140# m4_require dependencies. This means we need to browse the stack to
1141# check whether a macro being expanded is m4_require'd. For ease of
1142# implementation, and certainly for the benefit of performances, we
1143# don't browse the m4_expansion_stack, rather each time we expand a
1144# macro FOO we define _m4_expanding(FOO). Then m4_require(BAR) simply
1145# needs to check whether _m4_expanding(BAR) is defined to diagnose a
1146# circular dependency.
1147#
1148# To improve the diagnostic, in addition to keeping track of the stack
1149# of macro calls, m4_expansion_stack also records the m4_require
1150# stack. Note that therefore an m4_defun'd macro being required will
1151# appear twice in the stack: the first time because it is required,
1152# the second because it is expanded. We can avoid this, but it has
1153# two small drawbacks: (i) the implementation is slightly more
1154# complex, and (ii) it hides the difference between define'd macros
1155# (which don't appear in m4_expansion_stack) and m4_defun'd macros
1156# (which do). The more debugging information, the better.
