Subject: [PATCH] algol68: rename A68 to A68C and AM_PROG_A68 to AM_PROG_A68C
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2025 13:36:23 +0200

While upstreaming the Algol 68 autoconf support it was pointed out that the
shell variable A68 shall be renamed to A68C and that the macro AC_PROG_A68
shall be renamed to AC_PROG_A68C.  This is to be more consistent to the
support for other languages like Go.  This patch updates the Automake side.

The Algol 68 code snippets are also updated to use modern stropping, which is
the stropping regime now used by default by ga68.

If the command variable name is being renamed to A68C then we should
also rename the flags variable to A68CFLAGS as per the GNU coding
standards.

Jose, Bruno, all - I'd really like to get the automake release out the
door. Can we please come to a final conclusion about the names for the
Algol 68 variables? Does anyone (Paul?) have a problem with going back
to A68/A68FLAGS and leaving out the C? --thanks, karl.

I am good with reverting to A68/A68FLAGS.

But I would like to have Paul's confirmation that he is ok with that on
the autoconf side..

I too agree with A68 and A68FLAGS; that's the naming that makes most sense.

José has volunteered to provide the patches for that.

Then, we can go back to revisiting the GCS, the Modula-2 support and other
GCC front-ends (see the other thread), without the time pressure from the
impending Automake release.
