17 # Case conversion macros. This is inspired by the 'up' macro from gmsl
18 # (http://gmsl.sf.net). It is optimised very heavily because these macros
19 # are used a lot. It is about 5 times faster than forking a shell and tr.
21 # The caseconvert-helper creates a definition of the case conversion macro.
22 # After expansion by the outer $(eval ), the UPPERCASE macro is defined as:
23 # $(strip $(eval __tmp := $(1)) $(eval __tmp := $(subst a,A,$(__tmp))) ... )
24 # In other words, every letter is substituted one by one.
26 # The caseconvert-helper allows us to create this definition out of the
27 # [FROM] and [TO] lists, so we don't need to write down every substition
28 # manually. The uses of $ and $$ quoting are chosen in order to do as
29 # much expansion as possible up-front.
31 # Note that it would be possible to conceive a slightly more optimal
32 # implementation that avoids the use of __tmp, but that would be even
33 # more unreadable and is not worth the effort.

84 # This macro properly escapes a command string, then prints it with printf:
86 # - first, backslash '\' are self-escaped, so that they do not escape
87 # the following char and so that printf properly outputs a backslash;
89 # - next, single quotes are escaped by closing an existing one, adding
90 # an escaped one, and re-openning a new one (see below for the reason);
92 # - then '%' signs are self-escaped so that the printf does not interpret
93 # them as a format specifier, in case the variable contains an actual
94 # printf with a format;
96 # - finally, $(sep) is replaced with the literal '\n' so that make does
97 # not break on the so-expanded variable, but so that the printf does
98 # correctly output an LF.
100 # Note: this must be escaped in this order to avoid over-escaping the
101 # previously escaped elements.
103 # Once everything has been escaped, it is passed between single quotes
104 # (that's why the single-quotes are escaped they way they are, above,
105 # and why the dollar sign is not escaped) to printf(1). A trailing
106 # newline is apended, too.
