I added this function to configure.ac:
log2() {
x=0
y=$(($1>>1))
while [ $y -gt 0 ]; do
x=$((x+1))
y=$((y>>1))
done
echo $x
}
After autoreconf, this function looks like this:
log2() {
x=0
y=$(($1>>1))
while $y -gt 0 ; do
x=$((x+1))
y=$((y>>1))
done
echo $x
}
The brackets are dropped around the argument of 'while'.
This alters the outcome of this function. Now, instead of computing the
log2(x) function, it breaks: x.sh: 3: not found
I believe, this is a major bug that the body of the shell function is
altered.
