1 2005-10-26 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
3 * read.c (record_files): Don't set deps flags if there are no deps.
4 * maintMakefile: We only need to build the templates when we are
5 creating a distribution, so don't do it for "all".
7 2005-10-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
9 Make secondary expansion optional: its enabled by declaring the
10 special target .SECONDEXPANSION.
12 * NEWS: Update information on second expansion capabilities.
13 * doc/make.texi (Secondary Expansion): Document the
14 .SECONDEXPANSION special target and its behavior.
15 * dep.h (struct dep): Add a flag STATICPATTERN, set to true if the
16 prerequisite list was found in a static pattern rule.
17 (free_dep_chain): Declare a prototype.
18 * file.c (parse_prereqs): New function: break out some complexity
20 (expand_deps): If we aren't doing second expansion, replace % with
21 the stem for static pattern rules. Call the new function.
22 * filedef.h (parse_prereqs): Declare a prototype.
23 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Initialize the new staticpattern
25 * main.c (second_expansion): Declare a global variable to remember
26 if the special target has been seen. Initialize the new
27 staticpattern field for prerequisites.
28 * make.h: Extern for second_expansion.
29 * misc.c (free_dep_chain): New function: frees a struct dep list.
30 * read.c (read_all_makefiles): Initialize the staticpattern field.
31 (eval_makefile): Ditto.
32 (record_files): Check for the .SECONDEXPANSION target and set
33 second_expansion global if it's found.
34 Use the new free_dep_chain() instead of doing it by hand.
35 Set the staticpattern field for prereqs of static pattern targets.
37 2005-10-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
39 * main.c (main): Set CURDIR to be a file variable instead of a
40 default, so that values of CURDIR inherited from the environment
41 won't override the make value.
43 2005-09-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
45 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): If the line is empty
46 remember to free the temporary argv strings.
49 2005-09-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
51 * job.c (start_job_command): The noerror flag is a boolean (single
52 bit); set it appropriately.
53 Reported by Mark Eichin <eichin@metacarta.com>
55 2005-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
57 * function.c (func_error): On Windows, output from $(info ...)
58 seems to come in the wrong order. Try to force it with fflush().
60 2005-08-10 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
62 * read.c (record_files): Move code that sets stem for static
63 pattern rules out of the if (!two_colon) condition so it is
64 also executed for two-colon rules. Fixes Savannah bug #13881.
66 2005-08-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
68 * make.h: Don't test that __STDC__ is non-0. Some compilers
69 (Windows for example) set it to 0 to denote "ISO C + extensions".
72 2005-08-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
74 * w32/pathstuff.c (getcwd_fs): Fix warning about assignment in a
75 conditional (slightly different version of a fix from Eli).
77 Fix a bug reported by Michael Matz <matz@suse.de>: patch included.
78 If make is running in parallel without -k and two jobs die in a
79 row, but not too close to each other, then make will quit without
80 waiting for the rest of the jobs to die.
82 * main.c (die): Don't reset err before calling reap_children() the
83 second time: we still want it to be in the error condition.
84 * job.c (reap_children): Use a static variable, rather than err,
85 to control whether or not the error message should be printed.
87 2005-08-06 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
89 * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: Include signal.h.
90 (process_pipe_io, process_file_io): Pass a pointer to a local
91 DWORD variable to GetExitCodeProcess. If the exit code is
92 CONTROL_C_EXIT, put SIGINT into pproc->signal.
94 * job.c [WINDOWS32]: Include windows.h.
95 (main_thread) [WINDOWS32]: New global variable.
96 (reap_children) [WINDOWS32]: Get the handle for the main thread
97 and store it in main_thread.
99 * commands.c [WINDOWS32]: Include windows.h and w32err.h.
100 (fatal_error_signal) [WINDOWS32]: Suspend the main thread before
101 doing anything else. When we are done, close the main thread
102 handle and exit with status 130.
104 2005-07-30 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
106 * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c (process_begin): Don't pass a NULL
109 * main.c (find_and_set_default_shell): If found a DOSish shell,
110 set sh_found and the value of default_shell, and report the
111 findings in debug mode.
113 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Check unixy_shell, not
114 no_default_sh_exe, to decide whether to use Unixy or DOSish
117 * README.W32: Update with info about the MinGW build.
119 * build_w32.bat: Support MinGW.
121 * w32/subproc/build.bat: Likewise.
123 * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c (process_easy): Fix format strings for
126 * function.c (windows32_openpipe): Fix format strings for printing
129 * job.c (reap_children) [WINDOWS32]: Don't declare 'status' and
131 (start_job_command): Fix format string for printing the result of
133 (start_job_command) [WINDOWS32]: Do not define.
134 (exec_command): Fix format string for printing HANDLE args.
136 * main.c (handle_runtime_exceptions): Fix sprintf format strings
137 to avoid compiler warnings.
138 (open_tmpfile): Declare fd only if HAVE_FDOPEN is defined.
139 (Note: some of these fixes were submitted independently by J. Grant)
141 2005-07-30 J. Grant <jg@jguk.org>
143 * prepare_w32.bat: Copy config.h.w32 to config.h if not exist.
144 * make_msvc_net2003.vcproj, make_msvc_net2003.sln: MSVC Project files.
145 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add MSVC Project files.
147 2005-07-15 Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
149 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal) [DOS,WINDOWS32,OS/2]: If
150 we don't have a POSIX shell, then revert to the old
151 backslash-newline behavior (where they are stripped).
154 2005-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
156 * config.h.W32.template: Reorder to match the standard config.h,
157 for easier comparisons.
158 From J. Grant <jg@jguk.org>
160 * maintMakefile: Remove .dep_segment before overwriting it, in
161 case it's not writable or noclobber is set.
162 * expand.c (variable_expand_string): Cast result of pointer
163 arithmetic to avoid a warning.
164 * main.c (switches): Add full-fledged final initializer.
166 2005-07-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
168 * configure.in: IRIX has _sys_siglist. Tru64 UNIX has __sys_siglist.
169 * signame.c (strsignal): If we found _sys_siglist[] or
170 __sys_siglist[] use those instead of sys_siglist[].
171 From Albert Chin <china@thewrittenword.com>
173 2005-07-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
175 * config.h-vms.template [VMS]: Latest VMS has its own glob() and
176 globfree(); set up to use the GNU versions.
177 From Martin Zinser <zinser@zinser.no-ip.info>
179 2005-07-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
181 From J. Grant <jg@jguk.org>:
183 * README.W32.template: Update the Windows and tested MSVC versions.
184 * NMakefile.template (CFLAGS_any): Change warning level from W3 to W4.
185 * w32/subproc/NMakefile (CFLAGS_any): Ditto.
186 * build_w32.bat: Ditto.
187 * w32/subproc/build.bat: Ditto.
189 2005-06-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
191 * signame.c: HAVE_DECL_* macros are set to 0, not undef, if the
192 declaration was checked but not present.
194 2005-06-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
196 * dir.c (find_directory): Change type of fs_serno/fs_flags/fs_len
197 to unsigned long. Fixes Savannah bug #13550.
199 * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: Remove (HANDLE) casts on lvalues.
200 (process_pipe_io): Initialize tStdin/tStdout/tStderr variables.
201 Fixes Savannah bug #13551.
203 2005-06-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
205 * make.h: Fix bug in ANSI_STRING/strerror() handling; only define
206 it if ANSI_STRING is not set.
208 2005-06-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
210 * read.c (eval): If no filenames are passed to any of the
211 "include" variants, don't print an error.
212 * doc/make.texi (Include): Document this.
213 Fixes Savannah bug #1761.
215 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Sanitize handling of
216 backslash/newline pairs according to POSIX: that is, keep the
217 backslash-newline in the command script, but remove a following
218 TAB character, if present. In the fast path, make sure that the
219 behavior matches what the shell would do both inside and outside
220 of quotes. In the slow path, quote the backslash and put a
221 literal newline in the string.
222 Fixes Savannah bug #1332.
223 * doc/make.texi (Execution): Document the new behavior and give
225 * NEWS: Make a note of the new behavior.
227 * make.h [WINDOWS32]: #include <direct.h>.
228 Fixes Savannah bug #13478.
230 * remake.c (name_mtime): If the stat() of a file fails and the -L
231 option was given and the file is a symlink, take the best mtime of
232 the symlink we can get as the mtime of the file and don't fail.
233 Fixes Savannah bug #13280.
235 * read.c (find_char_unquote): Accept a new argument IGNOREVARS.
236 If it's set, then don't stop on STOPCHARs or BLANKs if they're
237 inside a variable reference. Make this function static as it's
239 (eval): Call find_char_unquote() with IGNOREVARS set when we're
240 parsing an unexpanded line looking for semicolons.
241 Fixes Savannah bug #1454.
242 * misc.c (remove_comments): Move this to read.c and make it static
243 as it's only used there. Call find_char_unquote() with new arg.
244 * make.h: Remove prototypes for find_char_unquote() and
245 remove_comments() since they're static now.
247 * main.c (main): If we see MAKE_RESTARTS in the environment, unset
248 its export flag and obtain its value. When we need to re-exec,
249 increment the value and add it into the environment.
250 * doc/make.texi (Special Variables): Document MAKE_RESTARTS.
251 * NEWS: Mention MAKE_RESTARTS.
252 * main.c (always_make_set): New variable. Change the -B option to
253 set this one instead.
254 (main): When checking makefiles, only set always_make_flag if
255 always_make_set is set AND the restarts flag is 0. When building
256 normal targets, set it IFF always_make_set is set.
257 (main): Avoid infinite recursion with -W, too: only set what-if
258 files to NEW before we check makefiles if we've never restarted
259 before. If we have restarted, set what-if files to NEW _after_ we
261 Fixes Savannah bug #7566:
263 2005-06-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
265 * default.c: Change VMS implicit rules to use $$$$ instead of $$
266 in the prerequisites list.
268 2005-06-12 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
270 Fix Savannah bug # 1328.
272 * configure.in: Check for atexit().
273 * misc.c (close_stdout): Test stdout to see if writes to it have
274 failed. If so, be sure to exit with a non-0 error code. Based on
275 code found in gnulib.
277 * main.c (main): Install close_stdout() with atexit().
279 2005-06-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
281 VMS build updates from Hartmut Becker <Hartmut.Becker@hp.com>:
283 * vmsjobs.c [VMS]: Updates to compile on VMS: add some missing
284 headers; make vmsWaitForChildren() static; extern vmsify().
285 * job.c [VMS]: Move vmsWaitForChildren() prototype to be global.
286 Don't create child_execute_job() here (it's in vmsjobs.c).
287 * makefile.vms (job.obj) [VMS]: Add vmsjobs.c as a prerequisite.
289 2005-06-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
291 * variable.c (push_new_variable_scope): File variables point
292 directly to the global_setlist variable. So, inserting a new
293 scope in front of that has no effect on those variables: they
294 don't go through current_variable_set_list. If we're pushing a
295 scope and the current scope is global, push it "the other way" so
296 that the new setlist is in the global_setlist variable, and
297 next points to a new setlist with the global variable set.
298 (pop_variable_scope): Properly undo a push with the new
300 Fixes Savannah bug #11913.
302 2005-05-31 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
304 * job.c (reap_children): Don't die of the command failed but
305 the dontcare flag is set. Fixes Savannah bug #13216.
307 * implicit.c (pattern_search): When creating a target from
308 an implicit rule match, lookup pattern target and set precious
309 flag in a newly created target. Fixes Savannah bug #13218.
311 2005-05-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
313 Implement "if... else if... endif" syntax.
315 * read.c (eval): Push all checks for conditional words ("ifeq",
316 "else", etc.) down into the conditional_line() function.
317 (conditional_line): Rework to allow "else if..." clause. New
318 return value -2 for lines which are not conditionals. The
319 ignoring flag can now also be 2, which means "already parsed a
320 true branch". If that value is seen no other branch of this
321 conditional can be considered true. In the else parsing if there
322 is extra text after the else, invoke conditional_line()
323 recursively to see if it's another conditional. If not, it's an
324 error. If so, raise the conditional value to this level instead
325 of creating a new conditional nesting level. Special check for
326 "else" and "endif", which aren't allowed on the "else" line.
327 * doc/make.texi (Conditional Syntax): Document the new syntax.
329 2005-05-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
331 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_make_SOURCES): Add vmsjobs.c
332 (MAYBE_W32): Rework how SUBDIRS are handled so that "make dist"
333 recurses to the w32 directory, even on non-Windows systems. Use
334 the method suggested in the automake manual.
335 * configure.in: Add w32/Makefile to AC_CONFIG_FILES.
336 * maintMakefile (gnulib-url): They moved the texinfo.tex files.
338 2005-05-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
340 * main.c (die): If we're dying with a fatal error (not that a
341 command has failed), write back any leftover tokens before we go.
343 * job.c (set_child_handler_action_flags): If there are jobs
344 waiting for the load to go down, set an alarm to go off in 1
345 second. This allows us to wake up from a potentially long-lasting
346 read() and start a new job if the load has gone down. Turn it off
348 (job_noop): Dummy signal handler function.
349 (new_job): Invoke it with the new semantics.
351 * docs/make.texi: Document secondary expansion. Various cleanups
354 2005-05-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
356 Rename .DEFAULT_TARGET to .DEFAULT_GOAL: in GNU make terminology
357 the targets which are to ultimately be made are called "goals";
358 see the GNU make manual. Also, MAKECMDGOALS, etc.
360 * filedef.h, read.c, main.c: Change .DEFAULT_TARGET to
361 .DEFAULT_GOAL, and default_target_name to default_goal_name.
362 * doc/make.texi (Special Variables): Document .DEFAULT_GOAL.
364 2005-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
366 * job.c, vmsjobs.c (vmsWaitForChildren, vms_redirect,
367 vms_handle_apos, vmsHandleChildTerm, reEnableAst, astHandler,
368 tryToSetupYAst, child_execute_job) [VMS]: Move VMS-specific
369 functions to vmsjobs.c. #include it into jobs.c.
371 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@picante.com> reports that -j# can lose
372 jobserver tokens. I found that this happens when an exported
373 recursive variable contains a $(shell ...) function reference: in
374 this situation we could "forget" to write back a token.
376 * job.c, job.h: Add variable jobserver_tokens: counts the tokens
377 we have. It's not reliable to depend on the number of children in
378 our linked list so keep a separate count.
379 (new_job): Check jobserver_tokens rather than children &&
380 waiting_jobs. Increment jobserver_tokens when we get one.
381 (free_child): If jobserver_tokens is 0, internal error. If it's
382 >1, write a token back to the jobserver pipe (we don't write a
383 token for the "free" job). Decrement jobserver_tokens.
385 * main.c: Add variable master_job_slots.
386 (main): Set it to hold the number of jobs requested if we're the
387 master process, when using the jobserver.
388 (die): Sanity checks: first test jobserver_tokens to make sure
389 this process isn't holding any tokens we didn't write back.
390 Second, if master_job_slots is set count the tokens left in the
391 jobserver pipe and ensure it's the same as master_job_slots (- 1).
393 2005-04-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
395 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@picante.com> reports that -j# in conjunction
396 with -l# can lose jobserver tokens, because waiting jobs are not
397 consulted properly when checking for the "free" token.
399 * job.c (free_child): Count waiting_jobs as having tokens.
400 * job.c (new_job): Ditto. Plus, call start_waiting_jobs() here to
401 handle jobs waiting for the load to drop.
403 2005-04-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
405 * main.c (main): Be careful to not core if a variable setting in
406 the environment doesn't contain an '='. This is illegal but can
407 happen in broken setups.
408 Reported by Joerg Schilling <schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de>.
410 2005-04-12 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
412 The second expansion feature causes significant slowdown. Timing
413 a complex makefile (GCC 4.1) shows a slowdown from .25s to just
414 read the makefile before the feature, to 11+s to do the same
415 operations after the feature. Additionally, memory usage
416 increased drastically. To fix this I added some intelligence that
417 avoids the overhead of the second expansion unless it's required.
419 * dep.h: Add a new boolean field, need_2nd_expansion.
421 * read.c (eval): When creating the struct dep for the target,
422 check if the name contains a "$"; if so set need_2nd_expansion to 1.
423 (record_files): If there's a "%" in a static pattern rule, it gets
424 converted to "$*" so set need_2nd_expansion to 1.
426 * file.c (expand_deps): Rework to be more efficient. Only perform
427 initialize_file_variables(), set_file_variables(), and
428 variable_expand_for_file() if the need_2nd_expansion is set.
430 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Default need_2nd_expansion to 0.
431 (pattern_search): Ditto.
432 * main.c (handle_non_switch_argument): Ditto.
434 * read.c (read_all_makefiles): Ditto.
435 (eval_makefile): Ditto.
437 2005-04-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
439 * main.c (main) [WINDOWS32]: Export PATH to sub-shells, not Path.
440 * variable.c (sync_Path_environment): Ditto.
441 Patch by Alessandro Vesely. Fixes Savannah bug #12209.
443 * main.c (main): Define the .FEATURES variable.
444 * NEWS: Announce .FEATURES.
445 * doc/make.texi (Special Variables): Document .FEATURES.
447 * remake.c (check_dep): If a file is .PHONY, update it even if
448 it's marked intermediate. Fixes Savannah bug #12331.
450 2005-03-15 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
452 * file.c (expand_deps): Factor out the second expansion and
453 prerequisite line parsing logic from snap_deps().
455 * file.c (snap_deps): Use expand_deps(). Expand and parse
456 prerequisites of the .SUFFIXES special target first. Fixes
459 2005-03-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
461 * main.c (main) [MSDOS]: Export SHELL in MSDOS. Requested by Eli
464 2005-03-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
466 * signame.c (strsignal): HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST is 0 when not
467 available, not undefined (from Earnie Boyd).
469 2005-03-10 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
471 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Mark an intermediate target as
472 precious if it happened to be a prerequisite of some (other)
473 target. Fixes Savannah bug #12267.
475 2005-03-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
477 * read.c (eval_makefile): Add alloca(0).
478 (eval_buffer): Ditto.
480 2005-03-09 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
482 * main.c (main): Use o_file instead of o_default when defining
483 the .DEFAULT_TARGET special variable.
484 * read.c (eval): Use define_variable_global() instead of
485 define_variable() when setting new value for the .DEFAULT_TARGET
486 special variable. Fixes Savannah bug #12266.
488 2005-03-04 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
490 * imlicit.c (pattern_search): Mark files for which an implicit
491 rule has been found as targets. Fixes Savannah bug #12202.
493 2005-03-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
496 * doc/make.texi (Automatic Variables): Document $|.
498 2005-03-03 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
500 * read.c (record_files): Instead of substituting % with
501 actual stem value in dependency list replace it with $*.
502 This fixes stem triple expansion bug.
504 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Copy stem to a separate
505 buffer and make it a properly terminated string. Assign
506 this buffer instead of STEM (which is not terminated) to
507 f->stem. Instead of substituting % with actual stem value
508 in dependency list replace it with $*. This fixes stem
509 triple expansion bug.
511 2005-03-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
513 * commands.c (fatal_error_signal) [WINDOWS32]: Don't call kill()
514 on Windows, as it takes a handle not a pid. Just exit.
515 Fix from patch #3679, provided by Alessandro Vesely.
517 * configure.in: Update check for sys_siglist[] from autoconf manual.
518 * signame.c (strsignal): Update to use the new autoconf macro.
520 2005-03-01 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
522 * read.c (record_files): Add a check for the list of prerequisites
523 of a static pattern rule being empty. Fixes Savannah bug #12180.
525 2005-02-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
527 * doc/make.texi (Text Functions): Update docs to allow the end
528 ordinal for $(wordlist ...) to be 0.
529 * function.c (func_wordlist): Fail if the start ordinal for
530 $(wordlist ...) is <1. Matches documentation.
531 Resolves Savannah support request #103195.
533 * remake.c (update_goal_chain): Fix logic for stopping in -q:
534 previously we were stopping when !-q, exactly the opposite. This
535 has been wrong since version 1.34, in 1994!
536 (update_file): If we got an error don't break out to run more
537 double-colon rules: just return immediately.
538 Fixes Savannah bug #7144.
540 2005-02-27 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
542 * misc.c (end_of_token): Make argument const.
543 * make.h: Update prototype.
545 * function.c (abspath, func_realpath, func_abspath): Use
546 PATH_VAR() and GET_PATH_MAX instead of PATH_MAX.
547 * dir.c (downcase): Use PATH_VAR() instead of PATH_MAX.
548 * read.c (record_files): Ditto.
549 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): Ditto.
551 * function.c (func_error): Create a new function $(info ...) that
552 simply prints the message to stdout with no extras.
553 (function_table_init): Add new function to the table.
554 * NEWS: Add $(info ...) reference.
555 * doc/make.texi (Make Control Functions): Document it.
557 New feature: if the system supports symbolic links, and the user
558 provides the -L/--check-symlink-time flag, then use the latest
559 mtime between the symlink(s) and the target file.
561 * configure.in (MAKE_SYMLINKS): Check for lstat() and
562 readlink(). If both are available, define MAKE_SYMLINKS.
563 * main.c: New variable: check_symlink_flag.
564 (usage): Add a line for -L/--check-symlink-times to the help string.
565 (switches): Add -L/--check-symlink-times command line argument.
566 (main): If MAKE_SYMLINKS is not defined but the user specified -L,
567 print a warning and disable it again.
568 * make.h: Declare check_symlink_flag.
569 * remake.c (name_mtime): If MAKE_SYMLINKS and check_symlink_flag,
570 if the file is a symlink then check each link in the chain and
571 choose the NEWEST mtime we find as the mtime for the file. The
572 newest mtime might be the file itself!
573 * NEWS: Add information about this new feature.
574 * doc/make.texi (Options Summary): Add -L/--check-symlink-times docs.
576 Avoid core dumps described in Savannah bug # 12124:
578 * file.c: New variable snapped_deps remember whether we've run
581 * filedef.h: Extern it.
582 * read.c (record_files): Check snapped_deps; if it's set then
583 we're trying to eval a new target/prerequisite relationship from
584 within a command script, which we don't support. Fatal.
586 2005-02-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
588 Implementation of the .DEFAULT_TARGET special variable.
590 * read.c (eval): If necessary, update default_target_name when
592 * read.c (record_files): Update default_target_file if
593 default_target_name has changed.
594 * main.c (default_target_name): Define.
595 * main.c (main): Enter .DEFAULT_TARGET as make variable. If
596 default_target_name is set use default_target_file as a root
598 * filedef.h (default_target_name): Declare.
599 * dep.h (free_dep_chain):
600 * misc.c (free_dep_chain): Change to operate on struct nameseq
601 and change name to free_ns_chain.
602 * file.c (snap_deps): Update to use free_ns_chain.
604 2005-02-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
606 Implementation of the second expansion in explicit rules,
607 static pattern rules and implicit rules.
609 * read.c (eval): Refrain from chopping up rule's dependencies.
610 Store them in a struct dep as a single dependency line. Remove
611 the code that implements SySV-style automatic variables.
613 * read.c (record_files): Adjust the code that handles static
614 pattern rules to expand all percents instead of only the first
615 one. Reverse the order in which dependencies are stored so that
616 when the second expansion reverses them again they appear in
617 the makefile order (with some exceptions, see comments in
618 the code). Remove the code that implements SySV-style automatic
621 * file.c (snap_deps): Implement the second expansion and chopping
622 of dependency lines for explicit rules.
624 * implicit.c (struct idep): Define an auxiliary data type to hold
625 implicit rule's dependencies after stem substitution and
628 * implicit.c (free_idep_chain): Implement.
630 * implicit.c (get_next_word): Implement helper function for
631 parsing implicit rule's dependency lines into words taking
632 into account variable expansion requests. Used in the stem
635 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Implement the second expansion
636 for implicit rules. Also fixes bug #12091.
638 * commands.h (set_file_variables): Declare.
639 * commands.c (set_file_variables): Remove static specifier.
641 * dep.h (free_dep_chain): Declare.
642 * misc.c (free_dep_chain): Implement.
644 * variable.h (variable_expand_for_file): Declare.
645 * expand.c (variable_expand_for_file): Remove static specifier.
647 * make.h (strip_whitespace): Declare.
648 * function.c (strip_whitespace): Remove static specifier.
650 2005-02-26 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
652 * main.c (main): Check for ferror() when reading makefiles from stdin.
653 Apparently some shells in Windows don't close pipes properly and
656 2005-02-24 Jonathan Grant <jg@jguk.org>
658 * configure.in: Add MinGW configuration options, and extra w32 code
660 * Makefile.am: Add MinGW configuration options, and extra w32 code
662 * main.c: Determine correct program string (after last \ without .exe).
663 * subproc/sub_proc.c: `GetExitCodeProcess' from incompatible pointer
665 * w32/Makefile.am: Import to build win32 lib of sub_proc etc.
666 * subproc/w32err.c: MSVC thread directive not applied to MinGW builds.
667 * tests/run_make_tests.pl, tests/test_driver.pl: MSYS testing
670 2004-04-16 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
672 * function.c (func_shell): When initializing error_prefix, check
673 that reading file name is not null. This fixes long-standing
674 segfault in cases like "make 'a1=$(shell :)' 'a2:=$(a1)'".
676 2005-02-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
678 * maintMakefile: Update the CVS download URL to simplify them.
679 Also, the ftp://ftp.gnu.org/GNUinfo site was removed so I'm
680 downloading the .texi files from Savannah now.
682 Fixed these issues reported by Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>:
684 * main.c (handle_non_switch_argument): Only add variables to
685 command_variables if they're not already there: duplicate settings
686 waste space and can be confusing to read.
688 * w32/include/sub_proc.h: Remove WINDOWS32. It's not needed since
689 this header is never included by non-WINDOWS32 code, and it
690 requires <config.h> to define which isn't always included first.
692 * dir.c (read_dirstream) [MINGW]: Use proper macro names when
693 testing MINGW32 versions.
695 * main.c (log_working_directory): flush stdout to be sure the WD
696 change is printed before any stderr messages show up.
698 2005-02-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
700 * maintMakefile (po_repo): Update the GNU translation site URL.
702 2004-12-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
704 * main.c (main): Change char* env_shell to struct variable shell_var.
705 * variable.c (target_environment): Use new shell_var.
707 2004-11-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
709 * configure.in: The old way we avoided creating build.sh from
710 build.sh.in before build.sh.in exists doesn't work anymore; we
711 have to use raw M4 (thanks to Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> for
712 the help!). This also keeps automake from complaining.
713 * Makefile.am (README): Add a dummy target so automake won't
714 complain that this file doesn't exist when we checkout from CVS.
715 * maintMakefile (.dep_segment): Rewrite this rule since newer
716 versions of automake don't provide DEP_FILES.
718 2004-11-30 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
720 Implementation of `realpath' and `abspath' built-in functions.
722 * configure.in: Check for realpath.
723 * function.c (abspath): Return an absolute file name that does
724 not contain any `.' or `..' components, nor repeated `/'.
725 * function.c (func_abspath): For each name call abspath.
726 * function.c (func_realpath): For each name call realpath
727 from libc or delegate to abspath if realpath is not available.
728 * doc/make.texi (Functions for File Names): Document new functions.
729 * doc/make.texi (Quick Reference): Ditto.
731 2004-11-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
733 * main.c (main) [WINDOWS32]: Remove any trailing slashes from -C
734 arguments. Fixes bug #10252.
736 Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.
738 * main.c (main): Set SHELL to v_noexport by default. Remember the
739 original environment setting of SHELL in the env_shell variable.
740 * main.h: Export new env_shell variable.
741 * variable.c (target_environment): If we find a v_noexport
742 variable for SHELL, add a SHELL variable with the env_shell value.
743 * doc/make.texi (Quick Reference): Document the POSIX behavior.
744 * doc/make.texi (Variables/Recursion): Ditto.
746 2004-11-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
748 * main.c (find_and_set_default_shell) [WINDOWS32]: check for
749 equality of "cmd"/"cmd.exe", not inequality. Fixes bug #11155.
750 Patch by Alessandro Vesely.
752 2004-11-12 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
754 * job.c (child_execute_job) [VMS]: Don't treat "#" as a comment on
755 the command line if it's inside a string.
756 Patch by: Hartmut Becker <Hartmut.Becker@hp.com>
758 2004-10-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
760 * function.c (func_lastword): New function: return last word
761 from the list of words.
762 * doc/make.texi: Document $(lastword ). Fix broken links in
763 Quick Reference section.
765 2004-10-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
767 Apply patch from Alessandro Vesely, provided with bug # 9748.
768 Fix use of tmpnam() to work with Borland C.
770 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal) [WINDOWS32]: Remove
771 construction of a temporary filename, and call new function
772 create_batch_filename().
773 (create_batch_filename) [WINDOWS32]: New function to create a
776 2004-10-05 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
778 * read.c (record_target_var): Expand simple pattern-specific
780 * variable.c (initialize_file_variables): Do not expand simple
781 pattern-specific variable.
783 2004-09-28 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
785 * remake.c (update_file_1): When rebuilding makefiles inherit
786 dontcare flag from a target that triggered update.
788 2004-09-27 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
790 * variable.c (initialize_file_variables): Mark pattern-specific
791 variable as a per-target and copy export status.
793 2004-09-21 Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
795 * file.c (snap_deps): Mark .PHONY prerequisites as targets.
797 * implicit.c (pattern_search): When considering an implicit rule's
798 prerequisite check that it is actually a target rather then
799 just an entry in the file hashtable.
801 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
803 * read.c (readstring): Fix some logic errors in backslash handling.
804 (eval): Remove some unnecessary processing in buffer handling.
805 (record_target_var): Assert that parse_variable_definition() succeeded.
806 Reported by: Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
808 * misc.c: Removed the sindex() function. All instances of this
809 function were trivially replaceable by the standard strstr()
810 function, and that function will always have better (or certainly
811 no worse) performance than the very simple-minded algorithm
812 sindex() used. This can matter with complex makefiles.
813 * make.h: Remove the prototype for sindex().
814 * function.c (subst_expand): Convert sindex() call to strstr().
815 This means we no longer need to track the TLEN value so remove that.
816 (func_findstring): Convert sindex() to strstr().
817 * commands.c (chop_commands): Convert sindex() calls to strstr().
818 Suggested by: Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
820 * main.c (find_and_set_default_shell) [WINDOWS32]: Implement the
821 idea behind Savannah Patch #3144 from david.baird@homemail.com.
822 If SHELL is set to CMD.EXE then assume it's batch-mode and
823 non-unixy. I wrote the code differently from the patch, though,
824 to make it safer. This also resolves bug #9174.
826 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
828 * expand.c (variable_expand_string): Modify to invoke
829 patsubst_expand() instead of subst_expand(); the latter didn't
830 handle suffix patterns correctly.
831 * function.c (subst_expand): Remove the SUFFIX_ONLY parameter; it
832 was used only from variable_expand_string() and is no longer used
834 (func_subst): Ditto, on call to subst_expand().
835 (patsubst_expand): Require the percent pointers to point to the
836 character after the %, not to the % itself.
837 * read.c (record_files): New call criteria for patsubst_expand().
838 * variable.h: Remove SUFFIX_ONLY from subst_expand() prototype.
839 This is to fix a bug reported by Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
841 2004-09-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
843 * function.c (subst_expand): Fix a check in by_word: look for a
844 previous blank if we're beyond the beginning of the string, not
845 the beginning of the word.
846 Bugs reported by Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
848 2004-05-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
850 * remake.c (update_goal_chain): Change the argument specifying
851 whether we're rebuilding makefiles to be a global variable,
852 REBUILDING_MAKEFILES.
853 (complain): Extract the code that complains about no rules to make
854 a target into a separate function.
855 (update_file_1): If we tried to rebuild a file during the makefile
856 rebuild phase and it was dontcare, then no message was printed.
857 If we then try to build the same file during the normal build,
858 print a message this time.
859 (remake_file): Don't complain about un-remake-able files when
860 we're rebuilding makefiles.
862 2004-05-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
864 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): OS/2 patches from
865 Andreas Buening <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>.
867 2004-05-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
869 * remake.c (update_file): Don't walk the double-colon chain unless
870 this is a double-colon rule. Fix suggested by Boris Kolpackov
871 <boris@kolpackov.net>.
873 * makefile.vms (CFLAGS): Remove glob/globfree (see readme.vms docs)
874 * readme.vms: New section describing OpenVMS support and issues.
875 * default.c (default_variables): Add support for IA64.
876 * job.c (tryToSetupYAst) [VMS]: On VMS running make in batch mode
877 without some privilege aborts make with the error
878 %SYSTEM-F-NOPRIV. It happens when setting up a handler for
879 pressing Ctrl+Y and the input device is no terminal. The change
880 catches this error and just continues.
882 Patches by Hartmut Becker <Hartmut.Becker@hp.com>
884 2004-04-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
886 * commands.c (set_file_variables): Set $< properly in the face of
887 order-only prerequisites.
888 Patch from Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
890 2004-04-21 Bob Byrnes <byrnes@curl.com>
892 * main.c (main): Notice failures to remake makefiles.
894 2004-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
896 Patches for Acorn RISC OS by Peter Naulls <peter@chocky.org>
898 * job.c: No default shell for RISC OS.
899 (load_too_high): Hard-code the return to 1.
900 (construct_command_argv_internal): No sh_chars or sh_cmds.
901 * getloadavg.c: Don't set LOAD_AVE_TYPE on RISC OS.
903 2004-03-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
905 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): Don't append from the
906 global set if a previous non-appending target-specific variable
907 definition exists. Reported by Oliver Schmidt <oschmidt@gmx.net>
910 * expand.c (reference_variable): Don't give up on variables with
911 no value that have the target-specific append flag set: they might
912 have a value after all. Reported by Oliver Schmidt
913 <oschmidt@gmx.net> (with fix) and also by Maksim A. Nikulin
914 <nikulin@dx1cmd.inp.nsk.su>.
916 * rule.c (count_implicit_rule_limits): Don't delete patterns which
917 refer to absolute pathnames in directories that don't exist: some
918 portion of the makefile could create those directories before we
919 match the pattern. Fixes bugs #775 and #108.
921 Fixes from Jonathan R. Grant <jg-make@jguk.org>:
923 * main.c (main): Free makefile_mtimes if we have any.
924 * README.W32.template: Update documentation for the current status
925 of the MS-Windows port.
926 * NMakefile.template (MAKE): Add "MAKE = nmake". A conflicting
927 environment variable is sometimes already defined which causes the
929 * main.c (debug_signal_handler): Only define this function if
930 SIGUSR1 is available.
932 Fixes for OS/2 from Andreas Beuning <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>:
934 * configure.in [OS/2]: Relocate setting of HAVE_SA_RESTART for OS/2.
935 * README.OS2.template: Documentation updates.
936 * build.template: Add LIBINTL into LOADLIBES. Add $CFLAGS to the
937 link line for safety.
938 * maintMakefile (build.sh.in): Remove an extraneous ")".
939 * job.c (child_execute_job): Close saved FDs.
940 * job.c (exec_command) [OS/2]: exec_command(): If the command
941 can't be exec'ed and if the shell is not Unix-sh, then try again
942 with argv = { "cmd", "/c", ... }. Normally, this code is never
943 reached for the cmd shell unless the command really doesn't exist.
944 (construct_command_argv_internal) [OS/2]: The code for cmd
945 handling now uses new_argv = { "cmd", "/c", "original line", NULL}.
946 The CMD builtin commands are case insensitive so use strcasecmp().
948 2004-03-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
950 * read.c (do_define): Re-order line counter increment so the count
951 is accurate (we were losing one line per define). Reported by
952 Dave Yost <Dave@Yost.com>.
954 2004-03-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
956 * configure.in (HAVE_ANSI_COMPILER): Define if we have an ANSI/ISO
958 * make.h: Convert uses of __STDC__ to HAVE_ANSI_COMPILER.
959 * misc.c (message,error,fatal): Ditto.
960 * configh.dos.template: Define HAVE_ANSI_COMPILER.
961 * config.h.W32.template: Ditto.
962 * config.h-vms.template: Ditto.
963 * config.ami.template: Ditto.
965 2004-03-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
967 * README.template: Add a note about broken /bin/sh on SunOS
968 4.1.3_U1 & 4.1.4. Fix up Savannah links.
970 * misc.c (message, error, fatal): Don't use "..." if we're using
971 varargs. ansi2knr should handle this but it doesn't work: it
972 translates "..." to va_dcl etc. but _AFTER_ the preprocessor is
973 done. On many systems (SunOS for example) va_dcl is a #define.
974 So, force the use of the non-"..." version on pre-ANSI compilers.
976 * maintMakefile (sign-dist): Create some rules to help automate
977 the new GNU ftp upload method.
979 2004-02-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
981 * config.h.W32.template: Add HAVE_STDARG_H
982 * config.h-vms.template: Ditto.
983 * config.ami.template: Ditto.
985 2004-02-23 Jonathan Grant <jg-make@jguk.org>
987 * README.W32.template: Add a notation about -j with BATCH_MODE_ONLY.
988 * build_w32.bat: Remove extra "+".
990 2004-02-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
992 * make.h: Create an UNUSED macro to mark unused parameters.
993 * (many): Clean up warnings by applying UNUSED, fixing
994 signed/unsigned incompatibilities, etc.
996 * acinclude.m4 (AC_STRUCT_ST_MTIM_NSEC): Add quoting to silence
998 * filedef.h: Name the command_state enumeration.
999 * file.c (set_command_state): Use the enumeration in the function
1002 * configure.in: Explicitly set SET_MAKE to empty, to disable
1003 MAKE=make even when no make already exists. Fix bug #3823.
1005 2004-02-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1007 * maintMakefile: Perl script to clean up all non-CVS files. Use
1008 it on all the subdirectories for the cvs-clean target.
1010 * main.c (decode_switches): Require non-empty strings for all our
1011 string command-line options. Fixes Debian bug # 164165.
1013 * configure.in: Check for stdarg.h and varargs.h.
1014 * make.h (USE_VARIADIC): Set this if we can use variadic functions
1015 for printing messages.
1016 * misc.c: Check USE_VARIADIC instead of (obsolete) HAVE_STDVARARGS.
1021 A number of patches for OS/2 support from Andreas Buening
1022 <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>:
1024 * job.c (child_handler) [OS/2]: Allow this on OS/2 but we have to
1025 disable the SIGCHLD handler.
1026 (reap_children) [OS/2]: Remove special handling of job_rfd.
1027 (set_child_handler_action_flags) [OS/2]: Use this function in OS/2.
1028 (new_job) [OS/2]: Disable the SIGCHLD handler on OS/2.
1029 * main.c (main) [OS/2]: Special handling for paths in OS/2.
1030 * configure.in [OS/2]: Force SA_RESTART for OS/2.
1031 * Makefile.am (check-regression): Use $(EXEEXT) for Windows-type
1034 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1036 * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c (process_easy) [W32]: Christoph Schulz
1037 <mail@kristov.de> reports that if process_begin() fails we don't
1038 handle the error condition correctly in all cases.
1039 * w32/subproc/w32err.c (map_windows32_error_to_string): Make sure
1040 to have a newline on the message.
1042 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Add "test" to UNIX
1043 sh_cmds[]. Fixes Savannah bug # 7606.
1045 2004-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1047 * job.c (vms_handle_apos) [VMS]: Fix various string handling
1048 situations in VMS DCL. Fixes Savannah bug #5533. Fix provided by
1049 Hartmut Becker <Hartmut.Becker@hp.com>.
1051 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1053 * job.c (load_too_high): Implement an algorithm to control the
1054 "thundering herd" problem when using -l to control job creation
1055 via the load average. The system only recomputes the load once a
1056 second but we can start many jobs in a second. To solve this we
1057 keep track of the number of jobs started in the last second and
1058 apply a weight to try to guess what a correct load would be.
1059 The algorithm was provided by Thomas Riedl <thomas.riedl@siemens.com>.
1060 Also fixes bug #4693.
1061 (reap_children): Decrease the job count for this second.
1062 (start_job_command): Increase the job count for this second.
1064 * read.c (conditional_line): Expand the text after ifn?def before
1065 checking to see if it's a single word. Fixes bug #7257.
1067 2004-01-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1069 * file.c (print_file): Recurse to print all targets in
1070 double-colon rules. Fixes bug #4518, reported (with patch) by
1071 Andrew Chatham <chatham@google.com>.
1073 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1075 * acinclude.m4: Remove make_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED.
1076 * configure.in: Change make_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED to
1077 AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED.
1079 * doc/make.texi (Target-specific): Fix Savannah bug #1772.
1080 (MAKE Variable): Fix Savannah bug #4898.
1082 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Add "!" to the list of
1083 shell escape chars. POSIX sh allows it to appear before a
1084 command, to negate the exit code. Fixes bug #6404.
1086 * implicit.c (pattern_search): When matching an implicit rule,
1087 remember which dependencies have the ignore_mtime flag set.
1088 Original fix provided in Savannah patch #2349, by Benoit
1089 Poulot-Cazajous <Benoit.Poulot-Cazajous@jaluna.com>.
1091 2003-11-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1093 * README.W32.template (Outputs): Clarification on -j with
1094 BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SEHLL suggested by Jonathan R. Grant
1097 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1099 * function.c (func_if): Strip all the trailing whitespace from the
1100 condition, then don't expand it. Fixed bug # 5798.
1102 * expand.c (recursively_expand_for_file): If we're expanding a
1103 variable with no file context, then use the variable's context.
1106 2003-10-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1108 * main.c (log_working_directory): Add newlines to printf()s.
1110 * README.cvs: Add a note to ignore warnings during autoreconf.
1112 * maintMakefile (po_repo): Set a new URL for PO file updates.
1113 (get-config/config.guess get-config/config.sub): Get these files
1114 from the Savannah config project instead of ftp.gnu.org.
1116 2003-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1118 * main.c (main): Avoid potential subscript error if environ has
1121 2003-08-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1123 * misc.c (xmalloc, xrealloc): Add one to 0 sizes, to cater to
1124 systems which don't yet implement the C89 standard :-/.
1126 2003-07-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1128 * dir.c (directory_contents_hash_1, directory_contents_hash_1)
1129 [WINDOWS32]: Initialize hash.
1131 2003-06-19 Earnie Boyd <earnie@uses.sf.net>
1133 * dir.c (read_dirstream): Provide a workaround for broken versions of
1134 the MinGW dirent structure.
1136 2003-05-30 Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sf.net>
1138 * w32/include/dirent.h: Add __MINGW32__ filter.
1140 2003-05-30 Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sf.net>
1142 * make.h: Add global declaration of *make_host.
1143 * main.c (print_usage): Remove local declaration of *make_host.
1144 (print_version): Display "This program built for ..." after Copyright
1147 2003-05-30 Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sf.net>
1149 * doc/make.texi: Change "ifinfo" to "ifnottex" as suggested by the
1150 execution of "makeinfo --html make.texi".
1152 2003-04-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1154 * build.template: Make some changes to maybe allow this script to
1155 work on DOS/Windows/OS2 systems. Suggested by Andreas Buening.
1157 * README.OS2.template: New file for OS/2 support. Original
1158 contributed by Andreas Buening.
1159 * configure.in: Invoke new pds_AC_DOS_PATHS macro to test for
1162 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1164 Fix bug #1405: allow a target to match multiple pattern-specific
1167 * rule.c (create_pattern_var, lookup_pattern_var): Move these to
1168 variable.c, where they've always belonged.
1169 * rule.h: Move the prototypes and struct pattern_var as well.
1170 * variable.c (initialize_file_variables): Invoke
1171 lookup_pattern_var() in a loop, until no more matches are found.
1172 If a match is found, create a new variable set for the target's
1173 pattern variables. Then merge the contents of each matching
1174 pattern variable set into the target's pattern variable set.
1175 (lookup_pattern_var): Change this function to be usable
1176 in a loop. It takes a starting position: if NULL, start at the
1177 beginning; if non-NULL, start with the pattern variable after that
1178 position, and return the next matching pattern.
1179 (create_pattern_var): Create a unique instance of
1180 pattern-specific variables for every definition in the makefile.
1181 Don't combine the same pattern together. This allows us to
1182 process the variable handling properly even when the same pattern
1183 is used multiple times.
1184 (parse_variable_definition): New function: break out the parsing
1185 of a variable definition line from try_variable_definition.
1186 (try_variable_definition): Call parse_variable_definition to
1188 (print_variable_data_base): Print out pattern-specific variables.
1189 * variable.h (struct variable): Remember when a variable is
1190 conditional. Also remember its flavor.
1191 (struct pattern_var): Instead of keeping a variable set, we just
1192 keep a single variable for each pattern.
1193 * read.c (record_target_var): Each pattern variable contains only a
1194 single variable, not a set, so create it properly.
1195 * doc/make.texi (Pattern-specific): Document the new behavior.
1197 2003-04-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1199 * dir.c (file_exists_p) [VMS]: Patch provided with Bug #3018 by
1200 Jean-Pierre Portier <portierjp2@free.fr>. I don't understand the
1201 file/directory naming rules for VMS so I can't tell whether this
1204 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1206 * configure.in (HAVE_DOS_PATHS): Define this on systems that need
1207 DOS-style pathnames: backslash separators and drive specifiers.
1209 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1211 * file.c (snap_deps): If .SECONDARY with no targets is given, set
1212 the intermediate flag on all targets. Fixes bug #2515.
1214 2003-03-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1216 * configure.in, Makefile.am, glob/Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am:
1217 Upgrade to autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.3.
1219 * job.c: More OS/2 changes from Andreas Buening.
1221 * file.c (print_file): Fix variable initialization.
1224 * remake.c (notice_finished_file):
1226 * make.h (ENULLLOOP): Set errno = 0 before invoking the command;
1227 some calls (like readdir()) return NULL in valid situations
1228 without resetting errno. Fixes bug #2846.
1230 2003-02-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1232 Port to OS/2 (__EMX__) by Andreas Buening <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>.
1234 * job.c (_is_unixy_shell) [OS/2]: New function.
1235 Set default shell to /bin/sh.
1236 (reap_children): Close the job_rfd pipe here since we don't use a
1238 (set_child_handler_action_flags): define this to empty on OS/2.
1239 (start_job_command): Close the jobserver pipe and use
1240 child_execute_job() instead of fork/exec.
1241 (child_execute_job): Rewrite to handle stdin/stdout FDs and spawn
1242 rather than exec'ing, then reconfigure stdin/stdout.
1243 (exec_command): Rewrite to use spawn instead of exec. Return the
1246 * main.c (main) [OS/2]: Call initialize_main(). Handle argv[0] as
1247 in DOS. Handle the TEMP environment variable as in DOS. Don't
1248 use a SIGCHLD handler on OS/2. Choose a shell as in DOS. Don't
1249 use -j in DOS mode. Use child_execute_job() instead of
1252 * function.c (func_shell) [OS/2]: Can't use fork/exec on OS/2: use
1255 * job.h [OS/2]: Move CLOSE_ON_EXEC here from job.c. Add
1256 prototypes that return values.
1258 * remake.c (f_mtime) [OS/2]: Handle FAT timestamp offsets for OS/2.
1260 * read.c (readline) [OS/2]: Don't handle CRLF specially on OS/2.
1261 * default.c (default_suffixes) [OS/2]: Set proper default suffixes
1263 * vpath.c (construct_vpath_list) [OS/2]: Handle OS/2 paths like
1266 2003-02-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1268 * default.c [VMS]: New default rules for .cxx -> .obj compiles.
1269 * job.c (child_execute_job) [VMS]: New code for handling spawn().
1270 (child_execute_job) [VMS]: Handle error status properly.
1271 Patches provided by Hartmut Becker <Hartmut.Becker@compaq.com>.
1273 * function.c (func_shell): Use EINTRLOOP() while reading from the
1274 subshell pipe (Fixes bug #2502).
1275 * job.c (free_child): Use EINTRLOOP() while writing tokens to the
1277 * main.c (main): Ditto.
1279 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1281 * read.c (eval): eval() was not fully reentrant, because the
1282 collapsed buffer was static. Change it to be an automatic
1283 variable so that eval() can be invoked recursively.
1285 (eval): Apply patch # 1022: fix memory reference error on long
1286 target-specific variable lines.
1287 Patch provided by Steve Brown <Steve.Brown@macquarie.com>.
1289 * function.c (check_numeric): Combine the is_numeric() function
1290 into this function, since it's only called from one place.
1291 Constify this function. Have it print the incorrect string in the
1292 error message. Fixes bug #2407.
1293 (strip_whitespace): Constify.
1294 (func_if): Constify.
1295 * expand.c (expand_argument): Constify.
1297 2003-01-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1299 Fix bug # 2169, also reported by other people on various systems.
1301 * make.h: Some systems, such as Solaris and PTX, do not fully
1302 implement POSIX-compliant SA_RESTART functionality; important
1303 system calls like stat() and readdir() can still fail with EINTR
1304 even if SA_RESTART has been set on the signal handler. So,
1305 introduce macros EINTRLOOP() and ENULLLOOP() which can loop on
1306 EINTR for system calls which return -1 or 0 (NULL), respectively,
1308 Also, remove the old atomic_stat()/atomic_readdir() and
1309 HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART handling.
1311 * configure.in: Remove setting of HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART.
1313 * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Use EINTRLOOP() to wrap fstat().
1314 * remake.c (touch_file): Ditto.
1316 * commands.c (delete_target): Use EINTRLOOP() to wrap stat().
1317 * read.c (construct_include_path): Ditto.
1318 * remake.c (name_mtime): Ditto.
1319 * vpath.c (selective_vpath_search): Ditto.
1320 * dir.c (find_directory): Ditto.
1321 (local_stat): Ditto.
1322 (find_directory): Use ENULLLOOP() to wrap opendir().
1323 (dir_contents_file_exists_p): Use ENULLLOOP() to wrap readdir().
1325 * misc.c: Remove HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART, atomic_stat(), and
1326 atomic_readdir() handling.
1328 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1330 * function.c (func_call): Fix Bug #1744. If we're inside a
1331 recursive invocation of $(call ...), mask any of the outer
1332 invocation's arguments that aren't used by this one, so that this
1333 invocation doesn't "inherit" them accidentally.
1335 2002-12-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1337 * function.c (subst_expand): Valery Khamenia reported a
1338 pathological performance hit when doing substitutions on very
1339 large values with lots of words: turns out we were invoking
1340 strlen() a ridiculous number of times. Instead of having each
1341 call to sindex() call strlen() again, keep track of how much of
1342 the text we've seen and pass the length to sindex().
1344 2002-11-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1346 * README.cvs, configure.in: Upgrade to require autoconf 2.56.
1349 2002-11-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1351 * NMakefile.template (OBJS): Add hash.c object file.
1352 * SMakefile.template (srcs): Ditto.
1353 * Makefile.ami (objs): Ditto.
1354 * build_w32.bat: Ditto.
1356 * Makefile.DOS.template: Remove extra dependencies.
1358 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1360 * expand.c (install_variable_buffer): New function. Install a new
1361 variable_buffer context and return the previous one.
1362 (restore_variable_buffer): New function. Free the current
1363 variable_buffer context and put a previously saved one back.
1364 * variable.h: Prototypes for {install,restore}_variable_buffer.
1365 * function.c (func_eval): Push a new variable_buffer context
1366 before we eval, then restore the old one when we're done.
1369 * read.c (install_conditionals): New function. Install a new
1370 conditional context and return the previous one.
1371 (restore_conditionals): New function. Free the current
1372 conditional context and put a previously saved one back.
1373 (eval): Use the {install,restore}_conditionals for "include"
1375 (eval_buffer): Use {install,restore}_conditionals to preserve the
1376 present conditional state before we evaluate the buffer.
1379 * doc/make.texi (Quick Reference): Add references to $(eval ...)
1381 (Recursion): Add a variable index entry for CURDIR.
1383 * README.cvs: Update to appropriate versions.
1384 * Makefile.am (nodist_loadavg_SOURCES): automake gurus point out I
1385 don't need to copy loadavg.c: automake is smart enough to create
1386 it for me. Still have a bug in automake related to ansi2knr tho.
1388 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1390 * remake.c (notice_finished_file): Only touch targets if they have
1391 at least one command (as per POSIX). Resolve Bug #1418.
1393 * *.c: Convert to using ANSI C-style function definitions.
1394 * Makefile.am: Enable the ansi2knr feature of automake.
1395 * configure.in: ditto.
1397 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1399 * commands.c (set_file_variables): Bug #1379: Don't use alloca()
1400 for automatic variable values like $^, etc. In the case of very
1401 large lists of prerequisites this causes problems. Instead reuse
1402 a static buffer (resizeable) for each variable.
1404 * read.c (eval): Fix Bug #1391: allow "export" keyword in
1405 target-specific variable definitions. Check for it and set an
1407 (record_target_var): Set the export field to v_export if the
1408 "exported" flag is set.
1409 * doc/make.texi (Target-specific): Document the ability to use
1412 * doc/make.texi: Change the name of the section on automatic
1413 variables from "Automatic" to "Automatic Variables". Added text
1414 clarifying the scope of automatic variables.
1416 2002-10-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1418 * read.c (eval): Allow SysV $$@ variables to use {} braces as well
1420 (record_files): Ditto.
1422 * expand.c (variable_expand_string): In $(A:x=y) expansion limit
1423 the search for the '=' to only within the enclosing parens.
1425 2002-10-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1427 Version 3.80 released.
1429 * dir.c: Change hash functions to use K&R function definition style.
1430 * function.c: Ditto.
1432 * variable.c: Ditto.
1434 Update to automake 1.7.
1436 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Update to require 1.7.
1437 (pdf): Remove this target as automake now provides one.
1439 * configure.in: Change AM_CONFIG_HEADER to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
1441 2002-09-30 Martin P.J. Zinser <zinser@decus.de>
1443 * makefile.com: Updates for GNU make 3.80.
1444 * makefile.vms: Ditto.
1446 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1448 * read.c (enum make_word_type): Remove w_comment.
1449 (get_next_mword): Don't treat comment characters as special; where
1450 this function is used we will never see a comment (it's stripped
1451 before we get here) and treating comments specially means that
1452 targets like "foo\#bar" aren't handled properly.
1454 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1456 * doc/make.texi (Bugs): Update with some info on Savannah, etc.
1458 * read.c (eval): Expansion of arguments to export/unexport was
1459 ignoring all arguments after the first one. Change the algorithm
1460 to expand the whole line once, then parse the results.
1462 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1464 Fix Bug #940 (plus another bug I found while looking at this):
1466 * read.c (record_target_var): enter_file() will add a new entry if
1467 it's a double-colon target: we don't want to do that in this
1468 situation. Invoke lookup_file() and only enter_file() if it does
1469 not already exist. If the file we get back is a double-colon then
1470 add this variable to the "root" double-colon target.
1472 * variable.c (initialize_file_variables): If this file is a
1473 double-colon target but is not the "root" target, then initialize
1474 the root and make the root's variable list the parent of our
1477 2002-09-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1479 * doc/make.texi (MAKE Variable): Add some indexing for "+".
1481 * hash.c (round_up_2): Get rid of a warning.
1483 2002-09-12 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1485 * Makefile.am (loadavg_SOURCES, loadavg.c): Tiptoe around automake
1486 so it doesn't complain about getloadavg.c.
1488 * commands.c (set_file_variables): Make sure we always alloca() at
1489 least 1 character for the value of $? (for '\0').
1491 2002-09-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1493 * hash.h (STRING_COMPARE, ISTRING_COMPARE, STRING_N_COMPARE): Fix
1494 macro to use RESULT instead of the incorrect _RESULT_.
1496 * make.h (HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART): Add prototypes for atomic_stat()
1497 and atomic_readdir(). We need to #include dirent.h to get this to
1499 * misc.c (atomic_readdir): Fix typos.
1501 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1503 * read.c (eval): Expand variable lists given to export and
1504 unexport, so that "export $(LIST_OF_VARIABLES)" (etc.) works.
1505 (conditional_line): Ditto for "ifdef". Fixes bug #103.
1507 * doc/make.texi (Variables/Recursion): Document this.
1508 (Conditional Syntax): And here.
1510 2002-09-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1512 * configure.in: Check for memmove().
1514 2002-09-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1516 * configure.in (HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART): Define this on PTX systems;
1517 Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com> reports that while it has
1518 SA_RESTART, it does not work properly.
1520 * misc.c (atomic_stat): If HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART, create a function
1521 that invokes stat() and loops to do it again if it returns EINTR.
1522 (atomic_readdir): Ditto, with readdir().
1524 * make.h (stat, readdir): If HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART, alias stat()
1525 and readdir() to atomic_stat() and atomic_readdir().
1527 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1529 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Daniel <barkalow@reputation.com>
1530 reports that GNU make sometimes doesn't recognize that targets can
1531 be made, when directories can be created as prerequisites. He
1532 reports that changing the order of predicates in the DEP->changed
1533 flag test so that lookup_file() is always performed, solves this
1536 2002-08-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1538 * configure.in: Require a newer version of gettext.
1540 * misc.c (perror_with_name): Translate the format string (for
1541 right-to-left language support).
1542 (pfatal_with_name): Ditto.
1544 * main.c: Create a static array of strings to store the usage
1545 text. This is done to facilitate translations.
1546 (struct command_switch): Remove argdesc and description fields.
1547 (switches): Remove values for obsolete fields.
1548 (print_usage): Print each element of the usage array.
1550 * hash.c: Change function definitions to be K&R style.
1552 2002-08-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1554 * NEWS: Remove the mention of .TARGETS; we aren't going to publish
1555 this one because it's too hard to get right. We'll look at it for
1557 * main.c (main): Don't create the .TARGETS variable.
1558 * variable.c (handle_special_var): Don't handle .TARGETS.
1560 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1562 * main.c (switches): Add a new option, -B (--always-make). If
1563 specified, make will rebuild all targets that it encounters even
1564 if they don't appear to be out of date.
1565 (always_make_flag): New flag.
1566 * make.h: Extern always_make_flag.
1567 * remake.c (update_file_1): Check always_make_flag; if it's set we
1568 will always rebuild any target we can, even if none of its
1569 prerequisites are newer.
1572 * doc/make.texi (Shell Function): Make it clear that make
1573 variables marked as "export" are not passed to instances of the
1576 Add new introspection variable .VARIABLES and .TARGETS.
1578 * variable.c (handle_special_var): New function. If the variable
1579 reference passed in is "special" (.VARIABLES or .TARGETS),
1580 calculate the new value if necessary. .VARIABLES is handled here:
1581 walk through the hash of defined variables and construct a value
1582 which is a list of the names. .TARGETS is handled by
1583 build_target_list().
1584 (lookup_variable): Invoke handle_special_var().
1585 * file.c (build_target_list): Walk through the hask of known files
1586 and construct a list of the names of all the ones marked as

1594 * variable.c (define_variable_in_set): Set "exportable" when a new
1595 variable is defined.
1596 (target_environment): Use the "exportable" flag instead of
1597 re-checking the name here... an efficiency improvement.
1599 2002-07-31 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

1616 new hash infrastructure.
1617 * read.c (dep_hash_cmp): Rewrite this to handle ignore_mtime
1618 comparisons as well as name comparisons.

1620 * file.c (lookup_file): Remove variables made unused by new hash
1622 * dir.c (directory_contents_hash_2): Missing return of hash value.
1623 (dir_contents_file_exists_p): Remove variables made unused by new
1624 hash infrastructure.
1627 Installed Greg McGary's integration of the hash functions from the
1628 GNU id-utils package:
1630 2002-07-10 Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>
1632 * scripts/functions/filter-out: Add literals to to the
1633 pattern space in order to add complexity, and trigger
1634 use of an internal hash table. Fix documentation strings.
1635 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Reverse order of files
1636 passed to expected `rm' command.

1730 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1732 Implement the SysV make syntax $$@, $$(@D), and $$(@F) in the
1733 prerequisite list. A real SysV make will expand the entire
1734 prerequisites list _twice_: we don't do that as it's a big
1735 backward-compatibility problem. We only replace those specific
1738 * read.c (record_files): Replace any $@, $(@D), and $(@F) variable
1739 references left in the list of prerequisites. Check for .POSIX as
1740 we record targets, so we can disable non-POSIX behavior while
1741 reading makefiles as well as running them.
1742 (eval): Check the prerequisite list to see if we have anything
1743 that looks like a SysV prerequisite variable reference.
1745 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1747 * doc/make.texi (Prerequisite Types): Add a new section describing
1748 order-only prerequisites.
1750 * read.c (uniquize_deps): If we have the same file as both a
1751 normal and order-only prereq, get rid of the order-only prereq,
1752 since the normal one supersedes it.
1754 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1756 * AUTHORS: Added Greg McGary to the AUTHORS file.
1757 * NEWS: Blurbed order-only prerequisites.
1758 * file.c (print_file): Show order-only deps properly when printing
1761 * maintMakefile: Add "update" targets for wget'ing the latest
1762 versions of various external files. Taken from Makefile.maint in
1765 * dosbuild.bat: Somehow we got _double_ ^M's. Remove them.
1766 Reported by Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>.
1768 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1770 * po/*.po: Remove. We'll use wget to retrieve them at release
1773 * variable.c (do_variable_definition) [W32]: On W32 using cmd
1774 rather than a shell you get an exception. Make sure we look up
1775 the variable. Patch provided by Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>.
1777 * remake.c (notice_finished_file): Fix handling of -t flag.
1778 Patch provided by Henning Makholm <henning@makholm.net>.
1780 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Some systems apparently run short
1781 of stack space, and using alloca() in this function caused an
1782 overrun. I modified it to use xmalloc() on the two variables
1783 which seemed like they might get large. Fixes Bug #476.
1785 * main.c (print_version): Update copyright notice to conform with
1787 (print_usage): Update help output.
1789 * function.c (func_eval): Create a new make function, $(eval
1790 ...). Expand the arguments, put them into a buffer, then invoke
1791 eval_buffer() on the resulting string.
1792 (func_quote): Create a new function, $(quote VARNAME). Inserts
1793 the value of the variable VARNAME without expanding it any
1796 * read.c (struct ebuffer): Change the linebuffer structure to an
1797 "eval buffer", which can be either a file or a buffer.
1798 (eval_makefile): Move the code in the old read_makefile() which
1799 located a makefile into here: create a struct ebuffer with that
1800 information. Have it invoke the new function eval() with that
1802 (eval_buffer): Create a new function that creates a struct ebuffer
1803 that holds a string buffer instead of a file. Have it invoke
1804 eval() with that ebuffer.
1805 (eval): New function that contains the guts of the old
1806 read_makefile() function: this function parses makefiles. Obtains
1807 data to parse from the provided ebuffer. Some modifications to
1808 make the flow of the function cleaner and clearer. Still could
1809 use some work here...
1810 (do_define): Takes a struct ebuffer instead of a FILE*. Read the
1811 contents of the define/endef variable from the ebuffer.
1812 (readstring): Read the next line from a string-style ebuffer.
1813 (readline): Read the next line from an ebuffer. If it's a string
1814 ebuffer, invoke readstring(). If it's a FILE* ebuffer, read it
1817 * dep.h (eval_buffer): Prototype eval_buffer();
1819 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): Make sure that all
1820 non-target-specific variables are registered in the global set.
1821 If we're invoked from an $(eval ...) we might be inside a $(call
1822 ...) or other function which has pushed a variable scope; we still
1823 want to define our variables from evaluated makefile code in the
1826 2002-07-03 Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>
1828 * dep.h (struct dep) [ignore_mtime]: New member.
1829 [changed]: convert to a bitfield.
1830 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Zero ignore_mtime.
1831 * main.c (main, handle_non_switch_argument): Likewise.
1832 * rule.c (convert_suffix_rule): Likewise.
1833 * read.c (read_all_makefiles, read_makefile, multi_glob): Likewise.
1834 (read_makefile): Parse '|' in prerequisite list.
1835 (uniquize_deps): Consider ignore_mtime when comparing deps.
1836 * remake.c (update_file_1, check_dep): Don't force remake for
1837 dependencies that have d->ignore_mtime.
1838 * commands.c (FILE_LIST_SEPARATOR): New constant.
1839 (set_file_variables): Don't include a
1840 prerequisite in $+, $^ or $? if d->ignore_mtime.
1843 2002-06-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1845 * make.texinfo: Updates for next revision. New date/rev/etc.
1846 Recreate all Info menus. Change license on the manual to the GNU
1847 Free Documentation License. A number of typos.
1848 (Variables Simplify): Don't use "-" before it's defined.
1849 (Automatic Prerequisites): Rewrite the target example to work
1850 properly if the compile fails. Remove incorrect comments about
1851 how "set -e" behaves.
1852 (Text Functions): Move the "word", "wordlist", "words", and
1853 "firstword" functions here, from "File Name Functions".
1854 * make-stds.texi: Update from latest GNU version.
1855 * fdl.texi: (created) Import the latest GNU version.
1857 2002-06-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1859 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): New function: extract the
1860 part of try_variable_definition() that actually sets the value
1861 into a separate function.
1862 (try_variable_definition): Call do_variable_definition() after
1863 parsing the variable definition string.
1864 (define_variable_in_set): Make the name argument const.
1866 * variable.h (enum variable_flavor): Make public.
1867 (do_variable_definition): Create prototype.
1869 * read.c (read_all_makefiles): Create a new built-in variable,
1871 (read_makefile): Add each makefile read in to this variable value.
1873 2002-05-18 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1875 * Makefile.DOS.template: Tweak according to changes in the
1876 distribution. Add back the dependencies of *.o files.
1878 * configh.dos.template: Synchronize with config.h.in.
1880 2002-05-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1882 * file.c (file_timestamp_now): Use K&R function declaration.
1884 * getloadavg.c (getloadavg): Merge setlocale() fix from sh-utils
1885 getloadavg.c. Autoconf thinks QNX is SVR4-like, but it isn't, so
1886 #undef it. Remove predefined setup of NLIST_STRUCT. Decide
1887 whether to include nlist.h based on HAVE_NLIST_H. Change obsolete
1888 NLIST_NAME_UNION to new HAVE_STRUCT_NLIST_N_UN_N_NAME.
1889 * configure.in (NLIST_STRUCT): Define this if we have nlist.h and
1890 nlist.n_name is a pointer rather than an array.
1892 * acinclude.m4 (make_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED): Grab the latest
1893 version of AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED from autoconf CVS.
1894 * configure.in: Use it instead of the old version.
1896 * main.c (main): Prefer setvbuf() to setlinebuf().
1898 2002-05-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1900 * Makefile.am (make_LDADD): Add GETLOADAVG_LIBS.
1901 (loadavg_LDADD): Ditto.
1903 2002-04-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1905 * expand.c (recursively_expand_for_file): Rename
1906 recursively_expand() to recursively_expand_for_file() and provide
1907 an extra argument, struct file. If the argument is provided, set
1908 the variable scope to that of the file before expanding.
1909 * variable.h (recursively_expand): Make this a macro that invokes
1910 recursively_expand_for_file() with a NULL file pointer.
1911 * variable.c (target_environment): Call the renamed function and
1912 provide the current file context.
1913 Fixes Debian bug #144306.
1915 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1917 Allow $(call ...) user-defined variables to be self-referencing
1918 without throwing an error. Allows implementation of transitive
1919 closures, among other possibly useful things.
1920 Requested by: Philip Guenther <guenther@sendmail.com>
1922 * variable.h (struct variable): Add a new field: exp_count, and
1923 new macros to hold its size and maximum value.
1924 (warn_undefined): Make this a macro.
1925 * variable.c (define_variable_in_set): Initialize it.
1926 * expand.c (recursively_expand): If we detect recursive expansion
1927 of a variable, check the exp_count field. If it's greater than 0
1928 allow the recursion and decrement the count.
1929 (warn_undefined): Remove this (now a macro in variable.h).
1930 * function.c (func_call): Before we expand the user-defined
1931 function, modify its exp_count field to contain the maximum
1932 number of recursive calls we'll allow. After the call, reset it
1935 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1937 Modified to use latest autoconf (2.53), automake (1.6.1), and
1938 gettext (0.11.1). We're using gettext's new "external" support,
1939 to avoid including libintl source with GNU make.
1941 * README.cvs: New file. Explain how to build GNU make from CVS.
1943 * configure.in: Modify checking for the system glob library.
1944 Use AC_EGREP_CPP instead of AC_TRY_CPP. Remove the setting of
1945 GLOBDIR (we will always put "glob" in SUBDIRS, so automake
1946 etc. will manage it correctly). Set an automake conditional
1947 USE_LOCAL_GLOB to decide whether to compile the glob library.
1949 * getloadavg.c (main): Include make.h in the "TEST" program to
1952 * Makefile.am: Remove special rules for loadavg. Replace them
1953 with Automake capabilities for building extra programs.
1955 * signame.c: This file does nothing if the system provide
1956 strsignal(). If not, it implements strsignal(). If the system
1957 doesn't define sys_siglist, then we make our own; otherwise we use
1959 * signame.h: Removed.
1961 * main.c (main): No need to invoke signame_init(). Update copyright.
1963 * ABOUT-NLS: Removed.
1964 * gettext.c: Removed.
1965 * gettext.h: Get a simplified copy from the gettext package.
1967 * i18n/*.po: Moved to po/.
1970 * config/*: Created. Contains package configuration helper files.
1971 * config.guess, config.sub: Moved to config directory.
1973 * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add po/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.
1974 Rework to use new-style autoconf features. Use the "external"
1975 mode for gettext. Make the build.sh config file conditional on
1976 whether build.sh.in exists, to avoid autoconf errors.
1977 * acinclude.m4: Removed almost all macros as being obsolete.
1978 Rewrote remaining macros to use AC_DEFINE.
1979 * acconfig.h: Removed.
1981 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add config/config.rpath. Use a
1982 conditional to handle customs support. Remove special handling
1985 2002-04-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1987 * function.c (func_call): Don't mark the argument variables $1,
1988 etc. as recursive. They've already been fully expanded so
1989 there's no need to do it again, and doing so strips escaped $'s.
1990 Reported by Sebastian Glita <glseba@yahoo.com>.
1992 * remake.c (notice_finished_file): Walk through double-colon
1993 entries via the prev field, not the next field!
1994 Reported by Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>.
1996 * main.c (main): If the user specifies -q and asks for a specific
1997 target which is a makefile, we got an assert. In that case it
1998 turns out we should continue normally instead.
2000 * i18n/de.po, i18n/fr.po: Installed an updated translation.
2002 * i18n/he.po: Installed a new translation.
2004 2002-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

2010 * i18n/ja.po: Installed an updated translation.
2012 2001-09-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2014 * configure.in (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add sys/resource.h.
2015 (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add getrlimit, setrlimit.
2017 * main.c: Include <sys/resource.h> if it, getrlimit, and setrlimit
2019 (main): Get rid of any avoidable limit on stack size.

2027 * i18n/fr.po: Installed an updated translation.
2028 Resolves Debian bug #106720.
2030 2001-06-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>

2037 * i18n/ko.po: Installed a new translation.
2039 2001-05-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2041 Modify the EINTR handling.
2043 * job.c (new_job): Reorganize the jobserver algorithm. Reorder
2044 the way in which we manage the file descriptor/signal handler race
2045 trap to be more efficient.
2047 2001-05-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2049 Restart almost all system calls that are interrupted, instead
2050 of worrying about EINTR. The lone exception is the read() for
2053 * configure.in (HAVE_SA_RESTART): New macro.
2054 (MAKE_JOBSERVER): Define to 1 only if HAVE_SA_RESTART.
2055 * main.c (main): Use SA_RESTART instead of the old,
2056 nonstandard SA_INTERRUPT.
2058 * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add bsd_signal.
2059 * main.c (bsd_signal): New function or macro,
2060 if the implementation doesn't supply it.
2061 (The bsd_signal function will be in POSIX 1003.1-200x.)
2062 (HANDLESIG): Remove.
2063 (main, FATAL_SIG): Use bsd_signal instead of signal or HANDLESIG.
2065 * make.h (EINTR_SET): Remove.
2066 (SA_RESTART): New macro.
2068 * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Don't worry about EINTR.
2069 * function.c (func_shell): Likewise.
2070 * job.c (reap_children, free_child, new_job): Likewise.
2071 * main.c (main): Likewise.
2072 * remake.c (touch_file, name_mtime): Likewise.
2074 * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Fix bug uncovered by EINTR removal;
2075 if fstat failed with errno!=EINTR, the error was ignored.
2077 * job.c (set_child_handler_action_flags): New function.
2078 (new_job): Use it to temporarily clear the SIGCHLD action flags
2079 while reading the token.
2081 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2083 * job.c (start_job_command): Don't add define/endef per-line flags
2084 to the top-level flags setting.
2086 2001-04-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2088 * arscan.c (VMS_get_member_info,ar_scan) [VMS]: VMS sets the low
2089 bit on error, so check for odd return values, not non-0 return
2091 (VMS_get_member_info): Calculate the timezone differences correctly.
2092 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
2095 2001-03-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2097 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: Null-terminate the variable
2098 value before invoking define_variable().
2099 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
2101 2001-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2103 * read.c (record_target_var): If we reset the variable due to a
2104 command-line variable setting overriding it, turn off the "append"
2107 2001-01-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2109 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: When getting values from the
2110 environment, allocate enough space for the _value_ plus escapes,
2111 not enough space for the name plus escapes :-/.
2112 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
2114 * remake.c (f_mtime): Removed the "***" prefix from the mod time
2115 warnings that make generates, so it doesn't look like an error.
2116 Reported by Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>.
2119 Fix for PR/2020: Rework appended target-specific variables. I'm
2120 fairly confident this algorithm is finally correct.
2122 * expand.c (allocated_variable_append): Rewrite. Instead of
2123 expanding each appended variable then adding all the expanded
2124 strings together, we append all the unexpanded values going up
2125 through the variable set contexts, then expand the final result.
2126 This behaves just like non-target-specific appended variable
2127 values, while the old way didn't in various corner cases.
2128 (variable_append): New function: recursively append the unexpanded
2129 value of a variable, walking from the outermost variable scope to
2131 * variable.c (lookup_variable): Remove the code that looked up the
2132 variable set list if the found variable was "append". We don't
2134 (lookup_variable_in_set): Make this non-static so we can use it
2136 (try_variable_definition): Use lookup_variable_in_set() rather
2137 than faking out current_variable_set_list by hand (cleanup).
2138 * variable.h: Add a prototype for the now non-static
2139 lookup_variable_in_set().
2141 2000-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2143 * remake.c (f_mtime) [WINDOWS32]: On various advice, I changed the
2144 WINDOWS32 port to assume timestamps can be up to 3 seconds away
2145 before throwing a fit.
2147 2000-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2149 * read.c (readline): CRLF calculations had a hole, if you hit the
2150 buffer grow scenario just right. Reworked the algorithm to avoid
2151 the need for len or lastlen at all. Problem description with
2152 sample code chages provided by Chris Faylor <cgf@redhat.com>.
2154 2000-10-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2156 * gettext.c (SWAP): Declare this with the prototype, otherwise
2157 some systems don't work (non-32-bit? Reported for Cray T3E).
2158 Reported by Thorstein Thorsteinsson <thor@signe.teokem.lu.se>.
2160 2000-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2162 * acinclude.m4 (AM_LC_MESSAGES): Remove undefined macro
2163 AM_LC_MESSAGES; it doesn't seem to do anything anyway??
2165 * i18n/gl.po, configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): New Galician translation.
2167 2000-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2169 * gettext.c: Don't #define _GETTEXT_H here; we only include some
2170 parts of the real gettext.h here, and we expect to really include
2171 the real gettext.h later. If we keep this #define, it's ignored.
2173 2000-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2175 * main.c (log_working_directory): Rework the text to use complete
2176 sentences, to make life simpler for the translators.
2178 2000-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2180 * file.c (remove_intermediates): Print a debug message before we
2181 remove intermediate files, so the user (if she uses -d) knows
2184 2000-08-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2186 * variable.c (try_variable_definition): Change how we handle
2187 target-specific append variable defns: instead of just setting the
2188 value, expand it as an append _but_ only within the current
2189 target's context. Otherwise we lose all but the last value if the
2190 variable is appended more than once within the current target
2191 context. Fixes PR/1831.
2193 2000-08-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2195 * function.c (func_shell): Nul-terminate the buffer before
2196 printing an exec error message (just in case it's not!).
2197 Fixes PR/1860, reported by Joey Hess <joey@valinux.com>.
2199 2000-07-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2201 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Add "~" to the list of
2202 sh_chars[] which disallow optimizing out the shell call.
2204 2000-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2206 * NEWS, make.texinfo: Document .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME, which
2207 supersedes --disable-nsec-timestamps.
2208 * make.texinfo: Consistently use "time stamp" instead of "timestamp".
2209 * README: Remove --disable-nsec-timestamps.
2211 * filedef.h (struct file.low_resolution_time): New member.
2212 * file.c (snap_deps): Add support for .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME.
2213 * remake.c (update_file_1):
2214 Avoid spurious rebuilds due to low resolution time stamps,
2215 generalizing the earlier code that applied only to archive members.
2216 (f_mtime): Archive members always have low resolution time stamps.
2218 * configure.in: Remove --disable-nsec-timestamps, as this has
2219 been superseded by .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME.
2221 2000-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2223 * configure.in (enable_nsec_timestamps): Renamed from
2224 make_cv_nsec_timestamps, since enable/disable options
2225 shouldn't be cached.
2227 2000-07-23 Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org>
2228 and Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2230 * file.c (file_timestamp_now):
2231 Use preprocessor-time check for FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES
2232 so that clock_gettime is not linked unless needed.
2234 * filedef.h (FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES):
2235 Remove definition; "configure" now does this.
2237 * configure.in (jm_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T): Move up,
2238 to before high resolution file timestamp check,
2239 since that check now uses uintmax_t.
2240 (FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES): Define to nonzero if the code should use
2241 high resolution file timestamps.
2242 (HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME): Do not define if !FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES,
2243 so that we don't link in clock_gettime unnecessarily.
2245 2000-07-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2247 * i18n/ja.po: New version of the translation file.
2249 2000-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2251 * remake.c (f_mtime): If NO_FLOAT is defined, don't bother with
2252 the offset calculation.
2253 (name_mtime): Replace EINTR test with EINTR_SET macro.
2255 2000-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2259 * remake.c (update_file_1):
2260 Avoid spurious rebuilds of archive members due to their
2261 timestamp resolution being only one second.
2262 (f_mtime): Avoid spurious warnings of timestamps in the future due to
2263 the clock's resolution being lower than file timestamps'.
2264 When warning about future timestamps, report only the discrepancy,
2265 not the absolute value of the timestamp and the current time.
2267 * file.c (file_timestamp_now): New arg RESOLUTION.
2268 * filedef.h (file_timestamp_now): Likewise.
2269 (FILE_TIMESTAMP_NS): Now returns int. All uses changed.
2271 2000-07-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2273 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: Remove vestigial references
2274 to listp. Fixes PR/1793.
2276 2000-06-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
2278 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New macro, with stamp-pot in it.
2280 * dir.c (vms_hash): Ensure ctype macro args are nonnegative.
2282 * remake.c (f_mtime): Remove unused var memtime.
2284 2000-06-25 Martin Buchholz <martin@xemacs.org>
2286 * make.texinfo, NEWS, TODO.private: Minor spelling corrections.
2287 Ran spell-check on make.texinfo.
2289 2000-06-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
2291 * main.c (main): Replace EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, and
2292 EXIT_TROUBLE with MAKE_SUCCESS, MAKE_FAILURE, and MAKE_TROUBLE.
2293 * make.h: Define these macros.
2295 * Version 3.79.1 released.
2297 * configure.in: Add a new option, --disable-nsec-timestamps, to
2298 avoid using sub-second timestamps on systems that support it. It
2299 can lead to problems, e.g. if your makefile relies on "cp -p".
2300 * README.template: Document the issue with "cp -p".
2302 * config.guess, config.sub: Updated.
