From b7e32b4dc746ea867ed68f41d767178b34cc43a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zack Weinberg Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2020 10:03:39 -0500 Subject: =?UTF-8?q?AS=5FECHO(=5FN):=20Do=20not=20expand=20macros=20named?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=98s=E2=80=99=20or=20=E2=80=98n=E2=80=99=20(#110377)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit AS_ECHO expands to ‘printf "%s\n" $1’. If a configure script defines an M4 macro named ‘s’ or ‘n’ it will be expanded in the first argument to printf, which is almost certainly not what was intended. The configure script for ruby 2.7.2 uses ‘AS_VAR_PUSHDEF([s], ...)’ and breaks with 2.69d because of this. Add some extra quoting so that the ‘%s\n’ is treated as literal; similarly for AS_ECHO_N and the legacy shell variables $as_echo and $as_echo_n. For now, anyway, don’t quote the word ‘printf’; if someone does define that as a M4 macro they might well mean to affect AS_ECHO. (Whether this is something we *want* to allow, we can worry about when it comes up.) Fixes bug #110377. * lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_ECHO_N_PREPARE, AS_ECHO, AS_ECHO_N): Add another layer of quoting around the first argument to printf. * tests/m4sh.at (Redefining AS_ECHO internals): New test. --- lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 | 17 +++++++--- tests/m4sh.at | 90 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 103 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 b/lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 index 81b3f82e..9d543952 100644 --- a/lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 +++ b/lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 @@ -897,8 +897,11 @@ esac # the shell variables $as_echo and $as_echo_n.
