dnl @synopsis adl_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS(PATH_LIST)
dnl
dnl PATH_LIST is a space-separated list of colon-separated triplets of
dnl the form 'FROM:TO:RESULT'. This function iterates over these
dnl triplets and set $RESULT to the relative path from $FROM to $TO.
dnl Note that $FROM and $TO needs to be absolute filenames for this
dnl macro to success.
dnl
dnl For instance,
dnl
dnl    first=/usr/local/bin
dnl    second=/usr/local/share
dnl    adl_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS([first:second:fs second:first:sf])
dnl    # $fs is set to ../share
dnl    # $sf is set to ../bin
dnl
dnl $FROM and $TO are both eval'ed recursively and normalized, this
dnl means that you can call this macro with autoconf's dirnames like
dnl `prefix' or `datadir'. For example:
dnl
dnl    adl_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS([bindir:datadir:bin_to_data])
dnl
dnl adl_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS should also works with DOS filenames.
dnl
dnl You may want to use this macro in order to make your package
dnl relocatable. Instead of hardcoding $datadir into your programs just
dnl encode $bin_to_data and try to determine $bindir at run-time.
dnl
dnl This macro requires adl_NORMALIZE_PATH.

## Note:
## *****
## The following helper macros are too fragile to be used out
## of adl_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS (mainly because they assume that
## paths are normalized), that's why I'm keeping them in the same file.
## Still, some of them maybe worth to reuse.

dnl adl_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATH(FROM, TO, RESULT)
dnl ===========================================
dnl Compute the relative path to go from $FROM to $TO and set the value
dnl of $RESULT to that value.  This function work on raw filenames
dnl (for instead it will considerate /usr//local and /usr/local as
dnl two distinct paths), you should really use adl_COMPUTE_REALTIVE_PATHS
dnl instead to have the paths sanitized automatically.
dnl
dnl For instance:
dnl    first_dir=/somewhere/on/my/disk/bin
dnl    second_dir=/somewhere/on/another/disk/share
dnl    adl_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATH(first_dir, second_dir, first_to_second)
dnl will set $first_to_second to '../../../another/disk/share'.

adl_COMPUTE_SUFFIX_PATH([$2], [_lcl_common_prefix], [_lcl_second_suffix])
$3="[$]_lcl_first_rel[$]_lcl_second_suffix"])

dnl adl_COMPUTE_COMMON_PATH(LEFT, RIGHT, RESULT)
dnl ============================================
dnl Compute the common path to $LEFT and $RIGHT and set the result to $RESULT.
dnl
dnl For instance:
dnl    first_path=/somewhere/on/my/disk/bin
dnl    second_path=/somewhere/on/another/disk/share
dnl    adl_COMPUTE_COMMON_PATH(first_path, second_path, common_path)
dnl will set $common_path to '/somewhere/on'.

dnl adl_COMPUTE_SUFFIX_PATH(PATH, SUBPATH, RESULT)
dnl ==============================================
dnl Substrack $SUBPATH from $PATH, and set the resulting suffix
dnl (or the empty string if $SUBPATH is not a subpath of $PATH)
dnl to $RESULT.
dnl
dnl For instace:
dnl    first_path=/somewhere/on/my/disk/bin
dnl    second_path=/somewhere/on
dnl    adl_COMPUTE_SUFFIX_PATH(first_path, second_path, common_path)
dnl will set $common_path to '/my/disk/bin'.

dnl adl_COMPUTE_BACK_PATH(PATH, SUBPATH, RESULT)
dnl ============================================
dnl Compute the relative path to go from $PATH to $SUBPATH, knowing that
dnl $SUBPATH is a subpath of $PATH (any other words, only repeated '../'
dnl should be needed to move from $PATH to $SUBPATH) and set the value
dnl of $RESULT to that value.  If $SUBPATH is not a subpath of PATH,
dnl set $RESULT to the empty string.
dnl
dnl For instance:
dnl    first_path=/somewhere/on/my/disk/bin
dnl    second_path=/somewhere/on
dnl    adl_COMPUTE_BACK_PATH(first_path, second_path, back_path)
dnl will set $back_path to '../../../'.

     $3="../[$]$3"
  fi
done])


dnl adl_RECURSIVE_EVAL(VALUE, RESULT)
dnl =================================
dnl Interpolate the VALUE in loop until it doesn't change,
dnl and set the result to $RESULT.
dnl WARNING: It's easy to get an infinite loop with some unsane input.
