Is there any tools that will autocorrect the indentations in m4 scripts?
I am trying to make some changes to some m4 scripts, and the indentation does
not appear to be sane, so I am having difficulty in matching up the if and
ifelse statements with their closing parenthesis.
These scripts are big, messy, and deeply nested.
Look at this:
[
dnl Argument checking.
ifelse([$1], [], , [ifelse([$1], [external], , [ifelse([$1], [no-libtool],
, [ifelse([$1], [use-libtool], ,
[errprint([ERROR: invalid first argument to AM_GNU_GETTEXT
])])])])])
ifelse([$2], [], , [ifelse([$2], [need-ngettext], , [ifelse([$2], [need-forma$
[errprint([ERROR: invalid second argument to AM_GNU_GETTEXT
])])])])
define(gt_included_intl, ifelse([$1], [external], [no], [yes]))
define(gt_libtool_suffix_prefix, ifelse([$1], [use-libtool], [l], []))
AC_REQUIRE([AM_PO_SUBDIRS])dnl
ifelse(gt_included_intl, yes, [
AC_REQUIRE([AM_INTL_SUBDIR])dnl
])
It gets worse. I want to know which is block associated with USE_NLS in the
following example:
if test "$USE_NLS" = "yes"; then
gt_use_preinstalled_gnugettext=no
dnl Add a version number to the cache macros.

Maybe it is further down ... but how the hell can I tell? I could really do
with a magic tool that will properly indent this lot.
Maybe to give something like this ...
if foo [
if bar [
blah blah rhubarb
])
])
