| Summary | 0000242: m4 shift description incomplete | ||||
| Description | In m4, the *shift* built-in returns a comma-separated list of its arguments except the first. _*shift* must quote each of its arguments._ For reference, see the GNU m4 Info manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/html_node/Shift.html#Shift. However, this requirement is easy to understand: otherwise, multiple application of the ``shift'' built-in (to get at the n'th argument) would not be possible. In m4, the *translit* built-in should delete those characters from its first argument that are are placed at its second argument at positions that are longer than the third argument. This is specified in the original Kernighan & Ritchie paper m4 (to be found at http://wolfram.schneider.org/bsd/7thEdManVol2/m4/m4.pdf). | ||||
| Desired Action | Replace The defining text for the *shift* macro shall be all of its arguments except for the first one. with The defining text for the *shift* macro shall be a comma-separated list of its arguments except the first one. Each argument shall be quoted using the current quoting strings. Add to The defining text of the *translit* macro shall be the first argument with every character that occurs in the second argument replaced with the corresponding character from the third argument. the following: If no replacement character is specified for some source character--because the second argument is longer than the third argument--that character shall be deleted from the first argument in *translit*'s defining text. [This wording could be improved.] | ||||

Each argument shall be quoted using the current quoting strings.
