Re: m4 question

Hi,

I checked in the following code.  Note that I reversed the order of the 
parameters so that the first parameter is the attribute name, as for the 
other macros.  Jennifer you might want to check you have the same thing 
-- I think what I originally wrote for you is wrong.

/* 

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 

m4svm_parse_attribute_elseifexternal 

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 

*/

/* usage: specify the attribute name as the first parameter and the 

    package name as the second parameter. 

*/

void
m4_dnl ()
{
   if (dummy)
     m4svm_define_begin = ":], [:m4svm_parse_attribute_elseifexternal:])";
   else if (strcmp (name, "$2.$1") == 0)
     {
       /* m4svm_comment_define([:m4svm_parse_attribute_1:], 

        * [:[:m4svm_parse_attribute($:][:1):][::]m4_dnl:]) */
       m4svm_parse_attribute_1 = dummy;

     }
   m4svm_define_end = ":])";
}
