This means that an # algorithm on n arguments that recurses with one less argument each # iteration will scan n * (n + 1) / 2 arguments, for O(n^2) time. In # M4 1.6, this was fixed so that $@ is only scanned once, then # back-references are made to information stored about the scan. # Thus, n iterations need only scan n arguments, for O(n) time. # Additionally, in M4 1.4.x, recursive algorithms did not clean up # memory very well, requiring O(n^2) memory rather than O(n) for n # iterations. # # This file is designed to overcome the quadratic nature of $@ # recursion by writing a variant of m4_foreach that uses m4_for rather # than $@ recursion to operate on the list. This involves more macro # expansions, but avoids the need to rescan a quadratic number of # arguments, making these replacements very attractive for M4 1.4.x. # On the other hand, in any version of M4, expanding additional macros # costs additional time; therefore, in M4 1.6, where $@ recursion uses # fewer macros, these replacements actually pessimize performance. # Additionally, the use of $10 to mean the tenth argument violates # POSIX; although all versions of m4 1.4.x support this meaning, a # future m4 version may switch to take it as the first argument # concatenated with a literal 0, so the implementations in this file # are not future-proof. Thus, this file is conditionally included as # part of m4_init(), only when it is detected that M4 probably has # quadratic behavior (ie. it lacks the macro __m4_version__). # m4_foreach(VARIABLE, LIST, EXPRESSION) # -------------------------------------- # Expand EXPRESSION assigning each value of the LIST to VARIABLE. # LIST should have the form `item_1, item_2, ..., item_n', i.e. the # whole list must *quoted*. Quote members too if you don't want them # to be expanded. # # This version minimizes the number of times that $@ is evaluated by # using m4_for to generate a boilerplate into VARIABLE then passing $@ # to that temporary macro. Thus, the recursion is done in m4_for # without reparsing any user input, and is not quadratic. For an idea # of how this works, note that m4_foreach(i,[1,2],[i]) defines i to be # m4_define([$1],[$3])$2[]m4_define([$1],[$4])$2[]m4_popdef([i]) # then calls i([i],[i],[1],[2]). m4_define([m4_foreach], [m4_if([$2], [], [], [_$0([$1], [$3], $2)])]) m4_define([_m4_foreach], [m4_define([$1], m4_pushdef([$1])_m4_for([$1], [3], [$#], [1], [$0_([1], [2], _m4_defn([$1]))])[m4_popdef([$1])])m4_indir([$1], $@)]) m4_define([_m4_foreach_], [[m4_define([$$1], [$$3])$$2[]]]) # m4_case(SWITCH, VAL1, IF-VAL1, VAL2, IF-VAL2, ..., DEFAULT) # ----------------------------------------------------------- # Find the first VAL that SWITCH matches, and expand the corresponding # IF-VAL.
