The \expanded stuff for pdftex all seems fine to me (will commit shortly), except I think the expanded.tex file should have the usual author/license junk at the top. In order not to change the line numbers in the .txt :), I reorganized the catcodes at the top. Ok? I've been playing around with the test infrastructure. Good choice not to have dependencies on ptex/xetex/anything-else-tex from pdftex :). -k ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- % $Id$ % Public domain. % Originally written 2018 by David Carlisle, Bruno Le Floch. \catcode`\{=1 \catcode`\}=2 \catcode`\#=6 \def\typ#1{\immediate\write-1 {#1}} \def\space{ } \let\bgroup{ \let\egroup} \typ{START} \typ{EXPANDED TEST 1} % Check the primitive exists \show\expanded \typ{EXPANDED TEST 2} % Simple expansion test \def\aaa{x} \def\bbb{\aaa\aaa} \expandafter\def\expandafter\ccc\expandafter{\expanded{\bbb,\aaa}} \show\ccc \typ{EXPANDED TEST 3: the} % Expanding \the \typ{\expanded{\bbb,\the\numexpr100+20+3\relax}} \typ{EXPANDED TEST 4: macro param} % Constructed #1 is still #1 \expandafter\def\expandafter\ddd\expandafter#\expanded{1{#\number--1}} \show\ddd \typ{EXPANDED TEST 5: torture} % Torture test from Bruno Le Floch testing various tricky interactions \expanded\relax\space\ifincsname \BOOM\fi{\ifincsname \BOOM\fi} \showtokens\expandafter{\expanded{#,\noexpand\aaa,\unexpanded{\aaa}}} \showtokens\expandafter{\expanded{#,\unexpanded{#}}} \showtokens\expandafter{\expanded\expandafter{\noexpand\aaa}} \showtokens\expandafter{\expanded\expandafter{\unexpanded{\aaa}}} \showtokens\expanded{{\expanded{\aaa\noexpand\aaa\noexpand\noexpand\noexpand\aaa}}} \toks0{\aaa} \showtokens\expanded{{\the\toks0}} \expanded\bgroup\show\egroup} \edef\foo{\expanded{##}} \show\foo \typ{END} \end -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
