Re: [A] [PATCH packages] Expand macros at compile time

Ville Skyttä <scop(a)xemacs.org&gt; wrote: You're going to regret trusting my analysis, you know. :-) Committed. Hmmm... The stuff I just did seems to show that a bunch more dependencies like that are needed. I wonder if there is some way of automatically extracting such dependencies? I can think of a byte compiler modification that would make it easy, but that might not be a popular way to go. (Basically, you would record the source path for each macro as it is defined, and upon expanding a macro, compare the source path for the file being compiled with the source path for the macro, and emit a log record if they are not in the same directory. Then a post-processor could pick out those records and compute the dependencies.) Anyway, I think Ben's change is harmless, at least, and probably a good idea. -- Jerry James http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~james/
