Hi Paul,
The answer, of course, is: "It depends." (I don't follow bison at all
and just stumbled upon this thread.) What is being done for which M4
is proving to be inadequate? For myself, I put M4 as appropriate for
tasks that are in the window between things that are too complex to do
easily with C preprocessors and are simple enough that you don't need
to iterate through lists of values. Other than for autoconf,
I don't use it much. :-)
Cheers - Bruce
