Follow-up Comment #1, sr #110886 (project autoconf): Thank you for the nice clear bug report.
Unfortunately, it looks like you have tripped over one of the known limitations of autoupdate. Nested replacements just don't work, and it's unlikely that they can be made to work in the present design (this involves trying to set up m4 to expand _some_ but not _all_ macros, which is inherently fragile and limited). Also unfortunately, none of the autoconf core developers have the time that would be required to come up with a design that _can_ handle nested replacements. Therefore, unless you or someone else develops a fix, you should not expect this to be fixed in the foreseeable future. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110886> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
