<h1>GNU Make Standard Library</h1>
The GNU Make Standard Library (GMSL) is a collection of functions
implemented using native GNU Make functionality that provide list and
string manipulation, integer arithmetic, associative arrays, stacks,
and debugging facilities. The GMSL is released under the BSD License.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmsl/">[Project Page]</a> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129887">[Download]</a>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=443916">[Discussion
Forum]</a><br>
<h2>Using GMSL</h2>
The two files needed are <span style="font-family: monospace;">gmsl</span>
and <span style="font-family: monospace;">__gmsl</span>. To
include the GMSL in your Makefile do<br>
<pre style="margin-left: 40px;">include gmsl</pre>
<span style="font-family: monospace;">gmsl</span> automatically includes<span style="font-family: monospace;"> __gmsl</span>. To check that
you have the right version of <span style="font-family: monospace;">gmsl</span>
use the <span style="font-family: monospace;">gmsl_compatible</span>
function (see
below). The current version is <span style="font-family: monospace;">1 1 9</span>.<br>
<br>
The GMSL package also includes a test suite for GMSL. Just run <span style="font-family: monospace;">make -f gmsl-tests</span>.<br>
<h2>Logical Operators</h2>GMSL has boolean $(true) (a non-empty string)
and $(false) (an empty string). The following operators can be
used with those variables.<br>
<br>
<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">not</span><br>

<h2>Integer Arithmetic Functions</h2>
Integers are represented by lists with the equivalent number of
x's. For example the number 4 is x x x x. The maximum
integer that the library can handle as <span style="font-style: italic;">input</span> (i.e. as the argument to a
call to <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_encode</span>) is
65536. There is no limit on integer size for internal computations or
output.<br>
<br>
The arithmetic library functions come in two forms: one form of each
function takes integers as arguments and the other form takes the
encoded form (x's created by a call to <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_encode</span>). For example,
there are two plus functions: <span style="font-family: monospace;">plus</span>
(called with integer arguments and returns an integer) and <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_plus</span> (called with encoded
arguments and returns an encoded result).<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: monospace;">plus</span> will be slower than <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_plus</span> because its arguments
and result have to be translated between the x's format and
integers. If doing a complex calculation use the <span style="font-family: monospace;">int_*</span> forms with a single
encoding of inputs and single decoding of the output. For simple
calculations the direct forms can be used.<br>
