Technically, the AC_ namespace is reserved for autoconf, and introducing a new AC_ name (whether AC_ONCE or AC_DEF_ONCE) in gnulib but not documented in the autoconf manual may provide a point of confusion to future readers. Could we instead go with a gnulib namespace convention, especially since it will be 00gnulib.m4 that defines the macro? Something like: gl_DEFUN -> synonym for AC_DEFUN gl_DEFUN_ONCE -> synonym for AC_DEFUN_ONCE in autoconf 2.64+, or our wrapper that works around the bugs of autoconf 2.59-2.63 gl_DEF_ONCE -> our new wrapper that Bruno is proposing -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
