Hi,
[I'm mailing this report because bugs.gnu.org refused connection.]
The first is a minor bug, the second a "normal" one.
1.
In AC_HELP_STRING, the quadrigraphs (eg @<:@) are counted as too
long, and the indentation of messages is not correct:
This is the usual:
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
This is where they are considered to be of length 4 (the presumed
position is indicated with `.', and explains the
indentation/newline):
--enable-unifier[=ARG] .
use the unifier (default=tomabechi) Possible values
are: tomabechi, simple
--enable-rcu[=ARG] .
use the RCU extensions (default=no)
--enable-shared[=PKGS] .
build shared libraries [default=yes]
In some cases, the opposite seems to happen, but it's in fact the
same problem: when the square brackets have a length of 4, then
the text is supposed to begin one space after the end of the
option, i.e. in the usual column (again indicated by a period).
.
--enable-yy[=ARG] use the YY extensions (default=yes)
.
--with-icu[=DIR] use the ICU library (default=yes)
2.
info autoconf, or C-h i m autoconf (in Emacs) do not give the top
of the autoconf info files, but the section "Using `autoconf' to
Create `configure'". `u u' brings one to the top. I guess this
is due to two nodes with the same name in the info file.
Both of these have been around for some time.
Regards,
Frederik Fouvry
