# In M4 1.4.x, every byte of $@ is rescanned.  This means that an
# algorithm on n arguments that recurses with one less argument each
# iteration will scan n * (n + 1) / 2 arguments, for O(n^2) time.  In
# M4 1.6, this was fixed so that $@ is only scanned once, then
# back-references are made to information stored about the scan.
# Thus, n iterations need only scan n arguments, for O(n) time.
# Additionally, in M4 1.4.x, recursive algorithms did not clean up
# memory very well, requiring O(n^2) memory rather than O(n) for n
# iterations.
#
# This file is designed to overcome the quadratic nature of $@
# recursion by writing a variant of m4_foreach that uses m4_for rather
# than $@ recursion to operate on the list.  This involves more macro
# expansions, but avoids the need to rescan a quadratic number of
# arguments, making these replacements very attractive for M4 1.4.x.
# On the other hand, in any version of M4, expanding additional macros
# costs additional time; therefore, in M4 1.6, where $@ recursion uses
# fewer macros, these replacements actually pessimize performance.
# Additionally, the use of $10 to mean the tenth argument violates
# POSIX; although all versions of m4 1.4.x support this meaning, a
# future m4 version may switch to take it as the first argument
# concatenated with a literal 0, so the implementations in this file
# are not future-proof.  Thus, this file is conditionally included as
# part of m4_init(), only when it is detected that M4 probably has
# quadratic behavior (ie. it lacks the macro __m4_version__).
#
# Please keep this file in sync with m4sugar.m4.

# _m4_foreach(PRE, POST, IGNORED, ARG...)
# ---------------------------------------
# Form the common basis of the m4_foreach and m4_map macros.  For each
# ARG, expand PRE[ARG]POST[].  The IGNORED argument makes recursion
# easier, and must be supplied rather than implicit.
#
# This version minimizes the number of times that $@ is evaluated by
# using m4_for to generate a boilerplate into _m4_f then passing $@ to
# that temporary macro.  Thus, the recursion is done in m4_for without
# reparsing any user input, and is not quadratic.  For an idea of how
# this works, note that m4_foreach(i,[1,2],[i]) calls
#   _m4_foreach([m4_define([i],],[)i],[],[1],[2])
# which defines _m4_f:
#   $1[$4]$2[]$1[$5]$2[]_m4_popdef([_m4_f])
# then calls _m4_f([m4_define([i],],[)i],[],[1],[2]) for a net result:
#   m4_define([i],[1])i[]m4_define([i],[2])i[]_m4_popdef([_m4_f]).

# Use m4_for to create a temporary macro in terms of a boilerplate
