versions. This is still in discussion with upstream, but working m4 is critical, so apply this stop-gap solution. It works on the other BSD derived stdio implementations as well, if you want to switch.

a patch from Eric Blake that fixes the problem that appeared e.g. in dosbox or mng.
2007-07-20Revert update to 1.4.10 because it seems to break autoconf.wiz3-7/+28
(breaking mng, firefox, thunderbird, dosbox and probably others)
2007-07-19Update to 1.4.10. Add commented out LICENSE=GPLv3 line.wiz3-28/+7
Version 1.4.10 - 09 Jul 2007, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.9c) * Upgrade from GPL version 2 to GPL version 3 or later. * A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib. * Avoid undefined behavior introduced in 1.4.9b in the `format' builtin when handling %c. However, this area of code has never been documented, and currently does not match the POSIX behavior of printf(1), so it may have further changes in the next version. Version 1.4.9b - 29 May 2007, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.9a) * Fix regression introduced in 1.4.9 in the `eval' builtin when performing division. * Fix regression introduced in 1.4.8 in the `-F' option that made it impossible to freeze more than 512 kibibytes of diverted text. * The synclines option `-s' no longer generates sync lines in the middle of multiline comments or quoted strings. * Work around a number of corner-case POSIX compliance bugs in various broken stdio libraries. In particular, the `syscmd' builtin behaves more predictably when stdin is seekable. * The `format' builtin now understands formats such as %a, %A, and %'hhd, and works around a number of platform printf bugs. Furthermore, the sequence format(%*.*d,-1,-1,1) no longer outputs random data. However, some non-compliant platforms such as mingw still have known bugs in strtod that may cause testsuite failures. * The testsuite is improved to also run gnulib portability tests for the features that M4 imports from gnulib.
2007-05-24Fix a division bug when negative numbers are involved. Bump pkgrev.dmcmahill3-2/+24
2007-04-08Update to 1.4.9:wiz2-6/+6
Version 1.4.9 - 23 Mar 2007, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.8c) * Minor documentation and portability cleanups. Version 1.4.8b - 24 Feb 2007, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.8a) * Fix a regression introduced in 1.4.8 that made m4 unable to process files larger than 2GiB on some platforms. * Fix a regression introduced in 1.4.8 that made m4 dump core when invoked as 'm4 -- file'. * The `eval' builtin now follows C precedence rules. Additionally, the short-circuit operators correctly short-circuit division by zero. The previously undocumented alias of '=' meaning '==' in eval now triggers a deprecation warning, so that a future version of M4 can implement a form of variable assignment as an extension. * The `include' builtin now affects exit status on failure, as required by POSIX. Use `sinclude' if you need a successful exit status. * The `-E'/`--fatal-warnings' command-line option now has two levels. When specified only once, warnings affect exit status, but execution continues, so that you can see all warnings instead of fixing them one at a time. To acheive 1.4.8 behavior, where the first warning immediately exits, specify -E twice on the command line. * A new `--warn-macro-sequence' command-line option allows detection of sequences in `define' and `pushdef' definitions that match an optional regular expression. The default regular expression is `\$\({[^}]*}\|[0-9][0-9]+\)', corresponding to the sequences that might not behave correctly when upgrading to the eventual M4 2.0. By default, M4 2.0 will follow the POSIX requirement that a macro definition containing `$11' must expand to the first argument concatenated with 1, rather than the eleventh argument; and will take advantage of the POSIX wording that allows implementations to treat `${11}' as the eleventh argument instead of literal text. Be aware that Autoconf 2.61 will not work with this option enabled with the default regular expression; but Autoconf 2.62 will be compatible with this option. * Improved portability to platforms such as BSD/OS and AIX.
2006-12-04Update to 1.4.8:wiz3-7/+12
Version 1.4.8 - 20 November 2006, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.7a) * The `divert' macro and `-H'/`--hashsize' command line option no longer cause a core dump when handed extra large values. Also, `divert' now uses memory proportional to the number of diversions in use, rather than to the maximum diversion number encountered, so that large diversion numbers are less likely to exhaust system memory; and is no longer limited by the maximum number of file descriptors. * The `--help' and `--version' command line options now consistently override all earlier options. For example, `m4 --debugfile=trace --help' now no longer accidentally creates an empty file `trace'. * The `-L'/`--nesting-limit' command line option can now be set to 0 to remove the default limit of 1024. However, it is still possible that heavily nested input can cause abrupt program termination due to stack overflow. * Problems encountered when writing to standard error, such as with the `errprint' macro, now always cause a non-zero exit status. * Warnings and errors issued during macro expansion are now consistently reported at the line where the macro name was detected, rather than where the close parenthesis resides. Text wrapped by `m4wrap' now remembers the location that was in effect when m4wrap was invoked, rather than changing to line 0 and the empty string for a file. The macros `__line__' and `__file__' now work correctly even as the last token in an included file. * The `builtin' and `indir' macros now transparently handle builtin tokens generated by `defn'. * When diversions created by the `divert' macro collect enough text that M4 must use temporary files, the environment variable $TMPDIR is now consulted, and a better effort is made to clean up those files in the event of a fatal signal. * The `mkstemp' builtin is added with the same GNU semantics as `maketemp', based on the recommendation of POSIX to deprecate the POSIX semantics of `maketemp' as inherently insecure. In GNU mode (no -G supplied on the command line), `maketemp' silently retains the secure GNU semantics, but a future release of M4 will change this to emit a warning. In traditional mode (m4 -G), `maketemp' now uses the POSIX-mandated insecure semantics, and issues a warning that you should convert your script to use `mkstemp' instead. Additionally, `mkstemp' and `maketemp' are now well-defined even if the template argument does not end in six `X' characters. * The manual has been improved, including a new section on a composite macro `foreach'. * The `changecom' and `changequote' macros now treat an empty second argument the same as if it were missing, rather than using the empty string and making it impossible to end a comment or quote. * The `translit' macro now operates in linear instead of quadratic time, and is now eight-bit clean. * The `-D', `-U', `-s', and `-t' command line options now take effect after any files encountered earlier on the command line, rather than up front, as is done in traditional implementations and required by POSIX.

2006-10-04Update MASTER_SITES and/or HOMEPAGE, from Sergey Svishchev.wiz1-2/+2
2006-10-02Update to 1.4.7:wiz2-6/+6
Version 1.4.7 - 25 September 2006, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.6a) * Fix regression from 1.4.5 in handling a file that ends in a macro expansion without arguments instead of a newline. * The define and pushdef macros now warn when the first argument is not a string, rather than silently doing nothing. * Standard input can now be read more than once, as in 'm4 - file -', and is not closed until all wrapped text is handled. This makes a difference when stdin is not a regular file, and also fixes bugs when using the syscmd or esyscmd macros from wrapped text. * When standard input is a seekable file, the m4exit, syscmd, and esyscmd macros now restore the current position to the next unread byte rather than discarding an arbitrary amount of buffered data. * SysV command-line compatibility is no longer a goal of GNU M4; the focus will be instead on POSIX compatibility. This release continues to support previous usage, but adds warnings in areas which will allow a future version of GNU M4 to use its own extensions without being tied to the SysV command line interface. * The no-op compatibility command line options -B, -N, -S, -T, and --diversions may be withdrawn or assigned new meanings in future releases, so they now issue a warning if used. * A new command line option -i replaces the compatibility -e as the short spelling of --interactive, for consistency with other GNU tools; a warning is issued if the old spelling is used, and it may be assigned new meaning in future releases. * A new command line option --debugfile replaces the options -o and --error-output as the preferred spelling. The old options were misleading in their names and inconsistent with other GNU tools; they are still silently accepted, but no longer documented in --help, and may be assigned new meanings in future releases.
2006-09-03Update to 1.4.6:wiz2-6/+6
Version 1.4.6 - 25 August 2006, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.5a) * Fix buffer overruns in regexp and patsubst macros when handed a trailing backslash in the replacement text, or when handling \n substitutions beyond the number of \(\) groups. * Fix memory leak in regexp, patsubst, and changeword macros. * The format macro now understands %F, %g, and %G. * When loading frozen files, m4 now exits with status 63 if version mismatch is detected. * Fix bugs that occurred when invoked with stdout or stderr closed, and detect write failures to stdout or to the target of the debugfile macro. In particular, the syscmd and esyscmd macros can no longer interfere with the debug stream or diversions. * The m4exit macro now converts values outside the range 0-255 to 1. * It is now an error if a command-line input file ends in the middle of a comment, matching the behavior of mid-string and mid-argument collection. * The dnl macro now warns if end of file is encountered instead of a newline. * The error message when end of file is encountered now uses the file and line where the dangling construct started, rather than `NONE:0:'. * The debugmode and __file__ macros, and the -s/--synclines option, now show what directory a file was found in when the -I/--include option or M4PATH variable had an effect. * The changequote and changecom macros now work with 8-bit characters, and quotes and comments that begin with `(' are properly recognized following a word. * The new macro __program__ is added, which allows the input file to issue an error message that resembles messages from m4. Warning and error messages have been reformatted to comply with GNU Coding Standards. * The errprint, m4wrap, and shift macros are now recognized only with arguments. * The index, substr, translit, regexp, and patsubst macros now produce output when given only one argument, but still warn about a missing second argument. * The patsubst macro now reliably finds zero-length matches at the end of a string.
2006-08-19Fix PLIST for non-standard GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX settings.wiz1-2/+2
From John Heasley in PR 34233.
2006-07-18Update to 1.4.5:wiz3-7/+10
Version 1.4.5 - 15 July 2006, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.4c) * Fix sysval on BeOS, OS/2, and other systems that store exit status in the low-order byte. Additionally, on Unix platforms, if syscmd was terminated by a signal, sysval now displays the signal number shifted left by eight bits, to match traditional m4 implementations. * The maketemp macro is no longer subject to platform limitations (such as 26 or 32 max files from a given template). * Frozen files now require that the first directive be V (version), to better diagnose version mismatch. Additionally, if the F directive (builtin function) names an unknown builtin that existed in the m4 that froze the file but not in the current m4 (for example, changeword), the warning is deferred until an attempt is made to actually use the builtin. This allows downgrading from beta m4-1.4o to stable m4-1.4.5 without breaking autoconf. * The format and indir macros are now recognized only with arguments. * The eval macro no longer crashes on x86 architectures when dividing the minimum integer by -1. * On systems with ecvt and fcvt, format no longer truncates trailing zeroes on integers printed with %.0f. On systems without these functions, format is no longer subject to a buffer overflow that permitted arbitrary code execution. * On native Windows builds, the macro __windows__ is provided instead of __unix__. Likewise, on OS/2 builds, the macro __os2__ is provided. This allows input files to determine when syscmd might behave differently. * Fix bug in 1.4.3 patch to use \n line-endings that did not work for cygwin. * When given the empty string or 0, undivert is now documented as a no-op rather than closing stdout, warning about a non-existent file, or trying to read a directory as a file. * Many documentation improvements. Also, the manual is now distributed under FDL 1.2, rather than a stricter verbatim-only license. * Raise the -L (--nesting-limit) command line option limit from 250 to 1024. * The decr, incr, divert, m4exit, and substr macros treat an empty number as 0, issue a warning, and expand as normal; rather than issuing an error and expanding to the empty string. * The eval macro now treats an empty radix argument as 10, handles radix 1, and treats the width argument as number of digits excluding the sign, for compatibility with other m4 implementations. * The ifdef, divert, m4exit, substr, and translit macros now correctly ignore extra arguments. * The popdef and undefine macros now correctly accept multiple arguments. * Although changeword is on its last leg, if enabled, it now reverts to the default (faster) regexp when passed the empty string. * The regexp and substr macros now warn and ignore a trailing backslash in the replacement, and warn on \n for n larger than the number of sub-expressions in the regexp. Version 1.4.4b - 17 June 2006, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.4a) * Fix a recursive push_string crashing bug, which affected changequote of three or more characters on some compilers. * Use automake to fix build portability issues. * Fix a recursive m4wrap crashing bug. * Fix a 1 in 2**32 hash crashing bug. * Tracing a macro by name is now persistent, even if the macro is subsequently undefined or redefined. The traceon and traceoff macros no longer warn about undefined symbols. This solves a crash when using indir on an undefined macro traced with the -t option, as well as an incorrect result of ifdef. Furthermore, tracing is no longer transferred with builtins, solving the bug of "m4 -tm4_eval" failing to give trace output on the input "define(`m4_eval',defn(`eval'))m4_eval(1)". * Fix a crash when a macro is undefined while collecting its arguments, by always using the definition that was in effect before argument collection. This behavior matches the C pre-processor, and means that the sequence "define(`f',`1')f(define(`f',`2'))f" is now documented to result in "12", rather than the previously undocumented "22". * Update the regex engine to fix several bugs. * Fix a potential crash on machines where char is signed.
2006-03-30* Honor PKGINFODIR.jlam2-3/+4
* List the info files directly in the PLIST.
2006-03-04Point MAINTAINER to pkgsrc-users@NetBSD.org in the case where nojlam1-2/+2
developer is officially maintaining the package. The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't developers.
