# nl-escape
#
# Usage: escape = $(call nl-escape[,escape])
#
# This is used as the common way to specify
# what should replace a newline when escaping
# newlines; the default is a bizarre string.

# escape-nl
#
# Usage: escaped-text = $(call escape-nl,text[,escape])
#
# GNU make's $(shell ...) function converts to a
# single space each newline character in the output
# produced during the expansion; this may not be
# desirable.
#
# The only solution is to change each newline into
# something that won't be converted, so that the
# information can be recovered later with
# $(call unescape-nl...)
#

# Usage: text = $(call unescape-nl,escaped-text[,escape])
#
# See escape-nl.
#
unescape-nl = $(subst $(call nl-escape,$(2)),$(newline),$(1))

# shell-escape-nl
#
# Usage: $(shell some-command | $(call shell-escape-nl[,escape]))
#
# Use this to escape newlines from within a shell call;
# the default escape is a bizarre string.
#
# NOTE: The escape is used directly as a string constant
#       in an `awk' program that is delimited by shell
#       single-quotes, so be wary of the characters
#       that are chosen.
#
define shell-escape-nl

# shell-unescape-nl
#
# Usage: $(shell some-command | $(call shell-unescape-nl[,escape]))
#
# Use this to unescape newlines from within a shell call;
# the default escape is a bizarre string.
#
# NOTE: The escape is used directly as an extended regular
#       expression constant in an `awk' program that is
#       delimited by shell single-quotes, so be wary
#       of the characters that are chosen.
#
# (The bash shell has a bug where `{gsub(...),...}' is
#  misinterpreted as a brace expansion; this can be
#  overcome by putting a space between `{' and `gsub').

# escape-for-shell-sq
#
# Usage: embeddable-text = $(call escape-for-shell-sq,text)
#
# This function produces text that is suitable for
# embedding in a shell string that is delimited by
# single-quotes.
#
escape-for-shell-sq =  $(subst ','\'',$(1))

#
# Usage: single-quoted-and-escaped-text = $(call shell-sq,text)

#
# Usage: wordified-text = $(call shell-wordify,text)

# For instance:
#
#  |define text
#  |hello
#  |world
#  |endef
#  |
#  |target:
#  |	echo $(call shell-wordify,$(text))
#
# At least GNU make gets confused by expanding a newline
# within the context of a command line of a makefile rule
# (this is in constrast to a `$(shell ...)' function call,
# which can handle it just fine).
#
# This function avoids the problem by producing a string
# that works as a shell word, regardless of whether or
# not it contains a newline.
#
# If the text to be wordified contains a newline, then
# an intrictate shell command substitution is constructed
# to render the text as a single line; when the shell
# processes the resulting escaped text, it transforms
# it into the original unescaped text.
#
# If the text does not contain a newline, then this function
# produces the same results as the `$(shell-sq)' function.
