1 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
3 * maintMakefile: Add "update" targets for wget'ing the latest
4 versions of various external files. Taken from Makefile.maint in
7 * dosbuild.bat: Somehow we got _extra_ ^M's. Remove them.
8 Reported by Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>.
10 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
12 * po/*.po: Remove. We'll use wget to retrieve them at release
15 * variable.c (do_variable_definition) [W32]: On W32 using cmd
16 rather than a shell you get an exception. Make sure we look up
17 the variable. Patch provided by Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>.
19 * remake.c (notice_finished_file): Fix handling of -t flag.
20 Patch provided by Henning Makholm <henning@makholm.net>.
22 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Some systems apparently run short
23 of stack space, and using alloca() in this function caused an
24 overrun. I modified it to use xmalloc() on the two variables
25 which seemed like they might get large. Bug #476.
27 * main.c (print_version): Update copyright notice to conform with
29 (print_usage): Update help output.
31 * function.c (func_eval): Create a new make function, $(eval
32 ...). Expand the arguments, put them into a buffer, then invoke
33 eval_buffer() on the resulting string.
34 (func_quote): Create a new function, $(quote VARNAME). Inserts
35 the value of the variable VARNAME without expanding it any
38 * read.c (struct ebuffer): Change the linebuffer structure to an
39 "eval buffer", which can be either a file or a buffer.
40 (eval_makefile): Move the code in the old read_makefile() which
41 located a makefile into here: create a struct ebuffer with that
42 information. Have it invoke the new function eval() with that
44 (eval_buffer): Create a new function that creates a struct ebuffer
45 that holds a string buffer instead of a file. Have it invoke
46 eval() with that ebuffer.
47 (eval): New function that contains the guts of the old
48 read_makefile() function: this function parses makefiles. Obtains
49 data to parse from the provided ebuffer. Some modifications to
50 make the flow of the function cleaner and clearer. Still could
52 (do_define): Takes a struct ebuffer instead of a FILE*. Read the
53 contents of the define/endef variable from the ebuffer.
54 (readstring): Read the next line from a string-style ebuffer.
55 (readline): Read the next line from an ebuffer. If it's a string
56 ebuffer, invoke readstring(). If it's a FILE* ebuffer, read it
59 * dep.h (eval_buffer): Prototype eval_buffer();
61 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): Make sure that all
62 non-target-specific variables are registered in the global set.
63 If we're invoked from an $(eval ...) we might be inside a $(call
64 ...) or other function which has pushed a variable scope; we still
65 want to define our variables from evaluated makefile code in the
68 2002-07-03 Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>
70 * dep.h (struct dep) [ignore_mtime]: New member.
71 [changed]: convert to a bitfield.
72 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Zero ignore_mtime.
73 * main.c (main, handle_non_switch_argument): Likewise.
74 * rule.c (convert_suffix_rule): Likewise.
75 * read.c (read_all_makefiles, read_makefile, multi_glob): Likewise.
76 (read_makefile): Parse '|' in prerequisite list.
77 (uniquize_deps): Consider ignore_mtime when comparing deps.
78 * remake.c (update_file_1, check_dep): Don't force remake for
79 dependencies that have d->ignore_mtime.
80 * commands.c (FILE_LIST_SEPARATOR): New constant.
81 (set_file_variables): Don't include a
82 prerequisite in $+, $^ or $? if d->ignore_mtime.
85 2002-06-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
87 * make.texinfo: Updates for next revision. New date/rev/etc.
88 Recreate all Info menus. Change license on the manual to the GNU
89 Free Documentation License. A number of typos.
90 (Variables Simplify): Don't use "-" before it's defined.
91 (Automatic Prerequisites): Rewrite the target example to work
92 properly if the compile fails. Remove incorrect comments about
94 (Text Functions): Move the "word", "wordlist", "words", and
95 "firstword" functions here, from "File Name Functions".
96 * make-stds.texi: Update from latest GNU version.
97 * fdl.texi: (created) Import the latest GNU version.
99 2002-06-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
101 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): New function: extract the
102 part of try_variable_definition() that actually sets the value
103 into a separate function.
104 (try_variable_definition): Call do_variable_definition() after
105 parsing the variable definition string.
106 (define_variable_in_set): Make the name argument const.
108 * variable.h (enum variable_flavor): Make public.
109 (do_variable_definition): Create prototype.
111 * read.c (read_all_makefiles): Create a new built-in variable,
113 (read_makefile): Add each makefile read in to this variable value.
115 2002-05-18 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
117 * Makefile.DOS.template: Tweak according to changes in the
118 distribution. Add back the dependencies of *.o files.
120 * configh.dos.template: Synchronize with config.h.in.
122 2002-05-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
124 * file.c (file_timestamp_now): Use K&R function declaration.
126 * getloadavg.c (getloadavg): Merge setlocale() fix from sh-utils
127 getloadavg.c. Autoconf thinks QNX is SVR4-like, but it isn't, so
128 #undef it. Remove predefined setup of NLIST_STRUCT. Decide
129 whether to include nlist.h based on HAVE_NLIST_H. Change obsolete
130 NLIST_NAME_UNION to new HAVE_STRUCT_NLIST_N_UN_N_NAME.
131 * configure.in (NLIST_STRUCT): Define this if we have nlist.h and
132 nlist.n_name is a pointer rather than an array.
134 * acinclude.m4 (make_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED): Grab the latest
135 version of AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED from autoconf CVS.
136 * configure.in: Use it instead of the old version.
138 * main.c (main): Prefer setvbuf() to setlinebuf().
140 2002-05-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
142 * Makefile.am (make_LDADD): Add GETLOADAVG_LIBS.
143 (loadavg_LDADD): Ditto.
145 2002-04-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
147 * expand.c (recursively_expand_for_file): Rename
148 recursively_expand() to recursively_expand_for_file() and provide
149 an extra argument, struct file. If the argument is provided, set
150 the variable scope to that of the file before expanding.
151 * variable.h (recursively_expand): Make this a macro that invokes
152 recursively_expand_for_file() with a NULL file pointer.
153 * variable.c (target_environment): Call the renamed function and
154 provide the current file context.
155 Fixes Debian bug #144306.
157 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
159 Allow $(call ...) user-defined variables to be self-referencing
160 without throwing an error. Allows implementation of transitive
161 closures, among other possibly useful things.
162 Requested by: Philip Guenther <guenther@sendmail.com>
164 * variable.h (struct variable): Add a new field: exp_count, and
165 new macros to hold its size and maximum value.
166 (warn_undefined): Make this a macro.
167 * variable.c (define_variable_in_set): Initialize it.
168 * expand.c (recursively_expand): If we detect recursive expansion
169 of a variable, check the exp_count field. If it's greater than 0
170 allow the recursion and decrement the count.
171 (warn_undefined): Remove this (now a macro in variable.h).
172 * function.c (func_call): Before we expand the user-defined
173 function, modify its exp_count field to contain the maximum
174 number of recursive calls we'll allow. After the call, reset it
177 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
179 Modified to use latest autoconf (2.53), automake (1.6.1), and
180 gettext (0.11.1). We're using gettext's new "external" support,
181 to avoid including libintl source with GNU make.
183 * README.cvs: New file. Explain how to build GNU make from CVS.
185 * configure.in: Modify checking for the system glob library.
186 Use AC_EGREP_CPP instead of AC_TRY_CPP. Remove the setting of
187 GLOBDIR (we will always put "glob" in SUBDIRS, so automake
188 etc. will manage it correctly). Set an automake conditional
189 USE_LOCAL_GLOB to decide whether to compile the glob library.
191 * getloadavg.c (main): Include make.h in the "TEST" program to
194 * Makefile.am: Remove special rules for loadavg. Replace them
195 with Automake capabilities for building extra programs.
197 * signame.c: This file does nothing if the system provide
198 strsignal(). If not, it implements strsignal(). If the system
199 doesn't define sys_siglist, then we make our own; otherwise we use
201 * signame.h: Removed.
203 * main.c (main): No need to invoke signame_init(). Update copyright.
205 * ABOUT-NLS: Removed.
206 * gettext.c: Removed.
207 * gettext.h: Get a simplified copy from the gettext package.
209 * i18n/*.po: Moved to po/.
212 * config/*: Created. Contains package configuration helper files.
213 * config.guess, config.sub: Moved to config directory.
215 * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add po/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.
216 Rework to use new-style autoconf features. Use the "external"
217 mode for gettext. Make the build.sh config file conditional on
218 whether build.sh.in exists, to avoid autoconf errors.
219 * acinclude.m4: Removed almost all macros as being obsolete.
220 Rewrote remaining macros to use AC_DEFINE.
221 * acconfig.h: Removed.
223 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add config/config.rpath. Use a
224 conditional to handle customs support. Remove special handling
227 2002-04-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
229 * function.c (func_call): Don't mark the argument variables $1,
230 etc. as recursive. They've already been fully expanded so
231 there's no need to do it again, and doing so strips escaped $'s.
232 Reported by Sebastian Glita <glseba@yahoo.com>.
234 * remake.c (notice_finished_file): Walk through double-colon
235 entries via the prev field, not the next field!
236 Reported by Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>.
238 * main.c (main): If the user specifies -q and asks for a specific
239 target which is a makefile, we got an assert. In that case it
240 turns out we should continue normally instead.
242 * i18n/de.po, i18n/fr.po: Installed an updated translation.
244 * i18n/he.po: Installed a new translation.
246 2002-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
248 * i18n/es.po, i18n/ru.po: Installed an updated translation.
250 2001-12-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
252 * i18n/ja.po: Installed an updated translation.
254 2001-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
256 * i18n/da.po: Installed an updated translation.
258 2001-08-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
260 * i18n/fr.po: Installed an updated translation.
261 Resolves Debian bug #106720.
263 2001-06-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
265 * i18n/da.po, configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): Installed a new
268 2001-06-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
270 * i18n/ko.po: Installed a new translation.
272 2001-05-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
274 Modify the EINTR handling.
276 * job.c (new_job): Reorganize the jobserver algorithm. Reorder
277 the way in which we manage the file descriptor/signal handler race
278 trap to be more efficient.
280 2001-05-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
282 Restart almost all system calls that are interrupted, instead
283 of worrying about EINTR. The lone exception is the read() for
286 * configure.in (HAVE_SA_RESTART): New macro.
287 (MAKE_JOBSERVER): Define to 1 only if HAVE_SA_RESTART.
288 * main.c (main): Use SA_RESTART instead of the old,
289 nonstandard SA_INTERRUPT.
291 * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add bsd_signal.
292 * main.c (bsd_signal): New function or macro,
293 if the implementation doesn't supply it.
294 (The bsd_signal function will be in POSIX 1003.1-200x.)
296 (main, FATAL_SIG): Use bsd_signal instead of signal or HANDLESIG.
298 * make.h (EINTR_SET): Remove.
299 (SA_RESTART): New macro.
301 * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Don't worry about EINTR.
302 * function.c (func_shell): Likewise.
303 * job.c (reap_children, free_child, new_job): Likewise.
304 * main.c (main): Likewise.
305 * remake.c (touch_file, name_mtime): Likewise.
307 * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Fix bug uncovered by EINTR removal;
308 if fstat failed with errno!=EINTR, the error was ignored.
310 * job.c (set_child_handler_action_flags): New function.
311 (new_job): Use it to temporarily clear the SIGCHLD action flags
312 while reading the token.
314 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
316 * job.c (start_job_command): Don't add define/endef per-line flags
317 to the top-level flags setting.
319 2001-04-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
321 * arscan.c (VMS_get_member_info,ar_scan) [VMS]: VMS sets the low
322 bit on error, so check for odd return values, not non-0 return
324 (VMS_get_member_info): Calculate the timezone differences correctly.
325 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
328 2001-03-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
330 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: Null-terminate the variable
331 value before invoking define_variable().
332 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
334 2001-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
336 * read.c (record_target_var): If we reset the variable due to a
337 command-line variable setting overriding it, turn off the "append"
340 2001-01-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
342 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: When getting values from the
343 environment, allocate enough space for the _value_ plus escapes,
344 not enough space for the name plus escapes :-/.
345 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
347 * remake.c (f_mtime): Removed the "***" prefix from the mod time
348 warnings that make generates, so it doesn't look like an error.
349 Reported by Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>.
352 Fix for PR/2020: Rework appended target-specific variables. I'm
353 fairly confident this algorithm is finally correct.
355 * expand.c (allocated_variable_append): Rewrite. Instead of
356 expanding each appended variable then adding all the expanded
357 strings together, we append all the unexpanded values going up
358 through the variable set contexts, then expand the final result.
359 This behaves just like non-target-specific appended variable
360 values, while the old way didn't in various corner cases.
361 (variable_append): New function: recursively append the unexpanded
362 value of a variable, walking from the outermost variable scope to
364 * variable.c (lookup_variable): Remove the code that looked up the
365 variable set list if the found variable was "append". We don't
367 (lookup_variable_in_set): Make this non-static so we can use it
369 (try_variable_definition): Use lookup_variable_in_set() rather
370 than faking out current_variable_set_list by hand (cleanup).
371 * variable.h: Add a prototype for the now non-static
372 lookup_variable_in_set().
374 2000-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
376 * remake.c (f_mtime) [WINDOWS32]: On various advice, I changed the
377 WINDOWS32 port to assume timestamps can be up to 3 seconds away
378 before throwing a fit.
380 2000-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
382 * read.c (readline): CRLF calculations had a hole, if you hit the
383 buffer grow scenario just right. Reworked the algorithm to avoid
384 the need for len or lastlen at all. Problem description with
385 sample code chages provided by Chris Faylor <cgf@redhat.com>.
387 2000-10-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
389 * gettext.c (SWAP): Declare this with the prototype, otherwise
390 some systems don't work (non-32-bit? Reported for Cray T3E).
391 Reported by Thorstein Thorsteinsson <thor@signe.teokem.lu.se>.
393 2000-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
395 * acinclude.m4 (AM_LC_MESSAGES): Remove undefined macro
396 AM_LC_MESSAGES; it doesn't seem to do anything anyway??
398 * i18n/gl.po, configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): New Galician translation.
400 2000-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
402 * gettext.c: Don't #define _GETTEXT_H here; we only include some
403 parts of the real gettext.h here, and we expect to really include
404 the real gettext.h later. If we keep this #define, it's ignored.
406 2000-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
408 * main.c (log_working_directory): Rework the text to use complete
409 sentences, to make life simpler for the translators.
411 2000-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
413 * file.c (remove_intermediates): Print a debug message before we
414 remove intermediate files, so the user (if she uses -d) knows
417 2000-08-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
419 * variable.c (try_variable_definition): Change how we handle
420 target-specific append variable defns: instead of just setting the
421 value, expand it as an append _but_ only within the current
422 target's context. Otherwise we lose all but the last value if the
423 variable is appended more than once within the current target
424 context. Fixes PR/1831.
426 2000-08-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
428 * function.c (func_shell): Nul-terminate the buffer before
429 printing an exec error message (just in case it's not!).
430 Fixes PR/1860, reported by Joey Hess <joey@valinux.com>.
432 2000-07-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
434 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Add "~" to the list of
435 sh_chars[] which disallow optimizing out the shell call.
437 2000-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
439 * NEWS, make.texinfo: Document .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME, which
440 supersedes --disable-nsec-timestamps.
441 * make.texinfo: Consistently use "time stamp" instead of "timestamp".
442 * README: Remove --disable-nsec-timestamps.
444 * filedef.h (struct file.low_resolution_time): New member.
445 * file.c (snap_deps): Add support for .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME.
446 * remake.c (update_file_1):
447 Avoid spurious rebuilds due to low resolution time stamps,
448 generalizing the earlier code that applied only to archive members.
449 (f_mtime): Archive members always have low resolution time stamps.
451 * configure.in: Remove --disable-nsec-timestamps, as this has
452 been superseded by .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME.
454 2000-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
456 * configure.in (enable_nsec_timestamps): Renamed from
457 make_cv_nsec_timestamps, since enable/disable options
460 2000-07-23 Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org>
461 and Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
463 * file.c (file_timestamp_now):
464 Use preprocessor-time check for FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES
465 so that clock_gettime is not linked unless needed.
467 * filedef.h (FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES):
468 Remove definition; "configure" now does this.
470 * configure.in (jm_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T): Move up,
471 to before high resolution file timestamp check,
472 since that check now uses uintmax_t.
473 (FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES): Define to nonzero if the code should use
474 high resolution file timestamps.
475 (HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME): Do not define if !FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES,
476 so that we don't link in clock_gettime unnecessarily.
478 2000-07-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
480 * i18n/ja.po: New version of the translation file.
482 2000-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
484 * remake.c (f_mtime): If NO_FLOAT is defined, don't bother with
485 the offset calculation.
486 (name_mtime): Replace EINTR test with EINTR_SET macro.
488 2000-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
492 * remake.c (update_file_1):
493 Avoid spurious rebuilds of archive members due to their
494 timestamp resolution being only one second.
495 (f_mtime): Avoid spurious warnings of timestamps in the future due to
496 the clock's resolution being lower than file timestamps'.
497 When warning about future timestamps, report only the discrepancy,
498 not the absolute value of the timestamp and the current time.
500 * file.c (file_timestamp_now): New arg RESOLUTION.
501 * filedef.h (file_timestamp_now): Likewise.
502 (FILE_TIMESTAMP_NS): Now returns int. All uses changed.
504 2000-07-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
506 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: Remove vestigial references
507 to listp. Fixes PR/1793.
509 2000-06-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
511 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New macro, with stamp-pot in it.
513 * dir.c (vms_hash): Ensure ctype macro args are nonnegative.
515 * remake.c (f_mtime): Remove unused var memtime.
517 2000-06-25 Martin Buchholz <martin@xemacs.org>
519 * make.texinfo, NEWS, TODO.private: Minor spelling corrections.
520 Ran spell-check on make.texinfo.
523 See ChangeLog.2 for earlier changes.
