1 2004-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
3 * read.c (readstring): Fix some logic errors in backslash handling.
4 (eval): Remove some unnecessary processing in buffer handling.
5 (record_target_var): Assert that parse_variable_definition() succeeded.
6 Reported by: Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
8 * misc.c: Removed the sindex() function. All instances of this
9 function were trivially replaceable by the standard strstr()
10 function, and that function will always have better (or certainly
11 no worse) performance than the very simple-minded algorithm
12 sindex() used. This can matter with complex makefiles.
13 * make.h: Remove the prototype for sindex().
14 * function.c (subst_expand): Convert sindex() call to strstr().
15 This means we no longer need to track the TLEN value so remove that.
16 (func_findstring): Convert sindex() to strstr().
17 * commands.c (chop_commands): Convert sindex() calls to strstr().
18 Suggested by: Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
20 * main.c (find_and_set_default_shell) [WINDOWS32]: Implement the
21 idea behind Savannah Patch #3144 from david.baird@homemail.com.
22 If SHELL is set to CMD.EXE then assume it's batch-mode and
23 non-unixy. I wrote the code differently from the patch, though,
26 2004-09-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
28 * expand.c (variable_expand_string): Modify to invoke
29 patsubst_expand() instead of subst_expand(); the latter didn't
30 handle suffix patterns correctly.
31 * function.c (subst_expand): Remove the SUFFIX_ONLY parameter; it
32 was used only from variable_expand_string() and is no longer used
34 (func_subst): Ditto, on call to subst_expand().
35 (patsubst_expand): Require the percent pointers to point to the
36 character after the %, not to the % itself.
37 * read.c (record_files): New call criteria for patsubst_expand().
38 * variable.h: Remove SUFFIX_ONLY from subst_expand() prototype.
39 This is to fix a bug reported by Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
41 2004-09-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
43 * function.c (subst_expand): Fix a check in by_word: look for a
44 previous blank if we're beyond the beginning of the string, not
45 the beginning of the word.
46 Bugs reported by Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>.
48 2004-05-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
50 * remake.c (update_goal_chain): Change the argument specifying
51 whether we're rebuilding makefiles to be a global variable,
53 (complain): Extract the code that complains about no rules to make
54 a target into a separate function.
55 (update_file_1): If we tried to rebuild a file during the makefile
56 rebuild phase and it was dontcare, then no message was printed.
57 If we then try to build the same file during the normal build,
58 print a message this time.
59 (remake_file): Don't complain about un-remake-able files when
60 we're rebuilding makefiles.
62 2004-05-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
64 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): OS/2 patches from
65 Andreas Buening <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>.
67 2004-05-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
69 * remake.c (update_file): Don't walk the double-colon chain unless
70 this is a double-colon rule. Fix suggested by Boris Kolpackov
71 <boris@kolpackov.net>.
73 * makefile.vms (CFLAGS): Remove glob/globfree (see readme.vms docs)
74 * readme.vms: New section describing OpenVMS support and issues.
75 * default.c (default_variables): Add support for IA64.
76 * job.c (tryToSetupYAst) [VMS]: On VMS running make in batch mode
77 without some privilege aborts make with the error
78 %SYSTEM-F-NOPRIV. It happens when setting up a handler for
79 pressing Ctrl+Y and the input device is no terminal. The change
80 catches this error and just continues.
82 Patches by Hartmut Becker <Hartmut.Becker@hp.com>
84 2004-04-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
86 * commands.c (set_file_variables): Set $< properly in the face of
87 order-only prerequisites.
88 Patch from Boris Kolpackov <boris@kolpackov.net>
90 2004-04-21 Bob Byrnes <byrnes@curl.com>
92 * main.c (main): Notice failures to remake makefiles.
94 2004-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
96 Patches for Acorn RISC OS by Peter Naulls <peter@chocky.org>
98 * job.c: No default shell for RISC OS.
99 (load_too_high): Hard-code the return to 1.
100 (construct_command_argv_internal): No sh_chars or sh_cmds.
101 * getloadavg.c: Don't set LOAD_AVE_TYPE on RISC OS.
103 2004-03-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
105 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): Don't append from the
106 global set if a previous non-appending target-specific variable
107 definition exists. Reported by Oliver Schmidt <oschmidt@gmx.net>
110 * expand.c (reference_variable): Don't give up on variables with
111 no value that have the target-specific append flag set: they might
112 have a value after all. Reported by Oliver Schmidt
113 <oschmidt@gmx.net> (with fix) and also by Maksim A. Nikulin
114 <nikulin@dx1cmd.inp.nsk.su>.
116 * rule.c (count_implicit_rule_limits): Don't delete patterns which
117 refer to absolute pathnames in directories that don't exist: some
118 portion of the makefile could create those directories before we
119 match the pattern. Fixes bugs #775 and #108.
121 Fixes from Jonathan R. Grant <jg-make@jguk.org>:
123 * main.c (main): Free makefile_mtimes if we have any.
124 * README.W32.template: Update documentation for the current status
125 of the MS-Windows port.
126 * NMakefile.template (MAKE): Add "MAKE = nmake". A conflicting
127 environment variable is sometimes already defined which causes the
129 * main.c (debug_signal_handler): Only define this function if
130 SIGUSR1 is available.
132 Fixes for OS/2 from Andreas Beuning <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>:
134 * configure.in [OS/2]: Relocate setting of HAVE_SA_RESTART for OS/2.
135 * README.OS2.template: Documentation updates.
136 * build.template: Add LIBINTL into LOADLIBES. Add $CFLAGS to the
137 link line for safety.
138 * maintMakefile (build.sh.in): Remove an extraneous ")".
139 * job.c (child_execute_job): Close saved FDs.
140 * job.c (exec_command) [OS/2]: exec_command(): If the command
141 can't be exec'ed and if the shell is not Unix-sh, then try again
142 with argv = { "cmd", "/c", ... }. Normally, this code is never
143 reached for the cmd shell unless the command really doesn't exist.
144 (construct_command_argv_internal) [OS/2]: The code for cmd
145 handling now uses new_argv = { "cmd", "/c", "original line", NULL}.
146 The CMD builtin commands are case insensitive so use strcasecmp().
148 2004-03-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
150 * read.c (do_define): Re-order line counter increment so the count
151 is accurate (we were losing one line per define). Reported by
152 Dave Yost <Dave@Yost.com>.
154 2004-03-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
156 * configure.in (HAVE_ANSI_COMPILER): Define if we have an ANSI/ISO
158 * make.h: Convert uses of __STDC__ to HAVE_ANSI_COMPILER.
159 * misc.c (message,error,fatal): Ditto.
160 * configh.dos.template: Define HAVE_ANSI_COMPILER.
161 * config.h.W32.template: Ditto.
162 * config.h-vms.template: Ditto.
163 * config.ami.template: Ditto.
165 2004-03-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
167 * README.template: Add a note about broken /bin/sh on SunOS
168 4.1.3_U1 & 4.1.4. Fix up Savannah links.
170 * misc.c (message, error, fatal): Don't use "..." if we're using
171 varargs. ansi2knr should handle this but it doesn't work: it
172 translates "..." to va_dcl etc. but _AFTER_ the preprocessor is
173 done. On many systems (SunOS for example) va_dcl is a #define.
174 So, force the use of the non-"..." version on pre-ANSI compilers.
176 * maintMakefile (sign-dist): Create some rules to help automate
177 the new GNU ftp upload method.
179 2004-02-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
181 * config.h.W32.template: Add HAVE_STDARG_H
182 * config.h-vms.template: Ditto.
183 * config.ami.template: Ditto.
185 2004-02-23 Jonathan Grant <jg-make@jguk.org>
187 * README.W32.template: Add a notation about -j with BATCH_MODE_ONLY.
188 * build_w32.bat: Remove extra "+".
190 2004-02-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
192 * make.h: Create an UNUSED macro to mark unused parameters.
193 * (many): Clean up warnings by applying UNUSED, fixing
194 signed/unsigned incompatibilities, etc.
196 * acinclude.m4 (AC_STRUCT_ST_MTIM_NSEC): Add quoting to silence
198 * filedef.h: Name the command_state enumeration.
199 * file.c (set_command_state): Use the enumeration in the function
202 * configure.in: Explicitly set SET_MAKE to empty, to disable
203 MAKE=make even when no make already exists. Fix bug #3823.
205 2004-02-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
207 * maintMakefile: Perl script to clean up all non-CVS files. Use
208 it on all the subdirectories for the cvs-clean target.
210 * main.c (decode_switches): Require non-empty strings for all our
211 string command-line options. Fixes Debian bug # 164165.
213 * configure.in: Check for stdarg.h and varargs.h.
214 * make.h (USE_VARIADIC): Set this if we can use variadic functions
215 for printing messages.
216 * misc.c: Check USE_VARIADIC instead of (obsolete) HAVE_STDVARARGS.
221 A number of patches for OS/2 support from Andreas Buening
222 <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>:
224 * job.c (child_handler) [OS/2]: Allow this on OS/2 but we have to
225 disable the SIGCHLD handler.
226 (reap_children) [OS/2]: Remove special handling of job_rfd.
227 (set_child_handler_action_flags) [OS/2]: Use this function in OS/2.
228 (new_job) [OS/2]: Disable the SIGCHLD handler on OS/2.
229 * main.c (main) [OS/2]: Special handling for paths in OS/2.
230 * configure.in [OS/2]: Force SA_RESTART for OS/2.
231 * Makefile.am (check-regression): Use $(EXEEXT) for Windows-type
234 2004-02-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
236 * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c (process_easy) [W32]: Christoph Schulz
237 <mail@kristov.de> reports that if process_begin() fails we don't
238 handle the error condition correctly in all cases.
239 * w32/subproc/w32err.c (map_windows32_error_to_string): Make sure
240 to have a newline on the message.
242 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Add "test" to UNIX
243 sh_cmds[]. Fixes Savannah bug # 7606.
245 2004-02-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
247 * job.c (vms_handle_apos) [VMS]: Fix various string handling
248 situations in VMS DCL. Fixes Savannah bug #5533. Fix provided by
249 Hartmut Becker <Hartmut.Becker@hp.com>.
251 2004-01-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
253 * job.c (load_too_high): Implement an algorithm to control the
254 "thundering herd" problem when using -l to control job creation
255 via the load average. The system only recomputes the load once a
256 second but we can start many jobs in a second. To solve this we
257 keep track of the number of jobs started in the last second and
258 apply a weight to try to guess what a correct load would be.
259 The algorithm was provided by Thomas Riedl <thomas.riedl@siemens.com>.
260 Also fixes bug #4693.
261 (reap_children): Decrease the job count for this second.
262 (start_job_command): Increase the job count for this second.
264 * read.c (conditional_line): Expand the text after ifn?def before
265 checking to see if it's a single word. Fixes bug #7257.
267 2004-01-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
269 * file.c (print_file): Recurse to print all targets in
270 double-colon rules. Fixes bug #4518, reported (with patch) by
271 Andrew Chatham <chatham@google.com>.
273 2004-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
275 * acinclude.m4: Remove make_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED.
276 * configure.in: Change make_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED to
277 AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED.
279 * doc/make.texi (Target-specific): Fix Savannah bug #1772.
280 (MAKE Variable): Fix Savannah bug #4898.
282 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Add "!" to the list of
283 shell escape chars. POSIX sh allows it to appear before a
284 command, to negate the exit code. Fixes bug #6404.
286 * implicit.c (pattern_search): When matching an implicit rule,
287 remember which dependencies have the ignore_mtime flag set.
288 Original fix provided in Savannah patch #2349, by Benoit
289 Poulot-Cazajous <Benoit.Poulot-Cazajous@jaluna.com>.
291 2003-11-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
293 * README.W32.template (Outputs): Clarification on -j with
294 BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SEHLL suggested by Jonathan R. Grant
297 2003-11-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
299 * function.c (func_if): Strip all the trailing whitespace from the
300 condition, then don't expand it. Fixed bug # 5798.
302 * expand.c (recursively_expand_for_file): If we're expanding a
303 variable with no file context, then use the variable's context.
306 2003-10-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
308 * main.c (log_working_directory): Add newlines to printf()s.
310 * README.cvs: Add a note to ignore warnings during autoreconf.
312 * maintMakefile (po_repo): Set a new URL for PO file updates.
313 (get-config/config.guess get-config/config.sub): Get these files
314 from the Savannah config project instead of ftp.gnu.org.
316 2003-08-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
318 * misc.c (xmalloc, xrealloc): Add one to 0 sizes, to cater to
319 systems which don't yet implement the C89 standard :-/.
321 2003-07-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
323 * dir.c (directory_contents_hash_1, directory_contents_hash_1)
324 [WINDOWS32]: Initialize hash.
326 2003-06-19 Earnie Boyd <earnie@uses.sf.net>
328 * dir.c (read_dirstream): Provide a workaround for broken versions of
329 the MinGW dirent structure.
331 2003-05-30 Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sf.net>
333 * w32/include/dirent.h: Add __MINGW32__ filter.
335 2003-05-30 Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sf.net>
337 * make.h: Add global declaration of *make_host.
338 * main.c (print_usage): Remove local declaration of *make_host.
339 (print_version): Display "This program built for ..." after Copyright
342 2003-05-30 Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sf.net>
344 * doc/make.texi: Change "ifinfo" to "ifnottex" as suggested by the
345 execution of "makeinfo --html make.texi".
347 2003-04-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
349 * build.template: Make some changes to maybe allow this script to
350 work on DOS/Windows/OS2 systems. Suggested by Andreas Buening.
352 * README.OS2.template: New file for OS/2 support. Original
353 contributed by Andreas Buening.
354 * configure.in: Invoke new pds_AC_DOS_PATHS macro to test for
357 2003-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
359 Fix bug #1405: allow a target to match multiple pattern-specific
362 * rule.c (create_pattern_var, lookup_pattern_var): Move these to
363 variable.c, where they've always belonged.
364 * rule.h: Move the prototypes and struct pattern_var as well.
365 * variable.c (initialize_file_variables): Invoke
366 lookup_pattern_var() in a loop, until no more matches are found.
367 If a match is found, create a new variable set for the target's
368 pattern variables. Then merge the contents of each matching
369 pattern variable set into the target's pattern variable set.
370 (lookup_pattern_var): Change this function to be usable
371 in a loop. It takes a starting position: if NULL, start at the
372 beginning; if non-NULL, start with the pattern variable after that
373 position, and return the next matching pattern.
374 (create_pattern_var): Create a unique instance of
375 pattern-specific variables for every definition in the makefile.
376 Don't combine the same pattern together. This allows us to
377 process the variable handling properly even when the same pattern
378 is used multiple times.
379 (parse_variable_definition): New function: break out the parsing
380 of a variable definition line from try_variable_definition.
381 (try_variable_definition): Call parse_variable_definition to
383 (print_variable_data_base): Print out pattern-specific variables.
384 * variable.h (struct variable): Remember when a variable is
385 conditional. Also remember its flavor.
386 (struct pattern_var): Instead of keeping a variable set, we just
387 keep a single variable for each pattern.
388 * read.c (record_target_var): Each pattern variable contains only a
389 single variable, not a set, so create it properly.
390 * doc/make.texi (Pattern-specific): Document the new behavior.
392 2003-04-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
394 * dir.c (file_exists_p) [VMS]: Patch provided with Bug #3018 by
395 Jean-Pierre Portier <portierjp2@free.fr>. I don't understand the
396 file/directory naming rules for VMS so I can't tell whether this
399 2003-04-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
401 * configure.in (HAVE_DOS_PATHS): Define this on systems that need
402 DOS-style pathnames: backslash separators and drive specifiers.
404 2003-03-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
406 * file.c (snap_deps): If .SECONDARY with no targets is given, set
407 the intermediate flag on all targets. Fixes bug #2515.
409 2003-03-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
411 * configure.in, Makefile.am, glob/Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am:
412 Upgrade to autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.3.
414 * job.c: More OS/2 changes from Andreas Buening.
416 * file.c (print_file): Fix variable initialization.
419 * remake.c (notice_finished_file):
421 * make.h (ENULLLOOP): Set errno = 0 before invoking the command;
422 some calls (like readdir()) return NULL in valid situations
423 without resetting errno. Fixes bug #2846.
425 2003-02-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
427 Port to OS/2 (__EMX__) by Andreas Buening <andreas.buening@nexgo.de>.
429 * job.c (_is_unixy_shell) [OS/2]: New function.
430 Set default shell to /bin/sh.
431 (reap_children): Close the job_rfd pipe here since we don't use a
433 (set_child_handler_action_flags): define this to empty on OS/2.
434 (start_job_command): Close the jobserver pipe and use
435 child_execute_job() instead of fork/exec.
436 (child_execute_job): Rewrite to handle stdin/stdout FDs and spawn
437 rather than exec'ing, then reconfigure stdin/stdout.
438 (exec_command): Rewrite to use spawn instead of exec. Return the
441 * main.c (main) [OS/2]: Call initialize_main(). Handle argv[0] as
442 in DOS. Handle the TEMP environment variable as in DOS. Don't
443 use a SIGCHLD handler on OS/2. Choose a shell as in DOS. Don't
444 use -j in DOS mode. Use child_execute_job() instead of
447 * function.c (func_shell) [OS/2]: Can't use fork/exec on OS/2: use
450 * job.h [OS/2]: Move CLOSE_ON_EXEC here from job.c. Add
451 prototypes that return values.
453 * remake.c (f_mtime) [OS/2]: Handle FAT timestamp offsets for OS/2.
455 * read.c (readline) [OS/2]: Don't handle CRLF specially on OS/2.
456 * default.c (default_suffixes) [OS/2]: Set proper default suffixes
458 * vpath.c (construct_vpath_list) [OS/2]: Handle OS/2 paths like
461 2003-02-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
463 * default.c [VMS]: New default rules for .cxx -> .obj compiles.
464 * job.c (child_execute_job) [VMS]: New code for handling spawn().
465 (child_execute_job) [VMS]: Handle error status properly.
466 Patches provided by Hartmut Becker <Hartmut.Becker@compaq.com>.
468 * function.c (func_shell): Use EINTRLOOP() while reading from the
469 subshell pipe (Fixes bug #2502).
470 * job.c (free_child): Use EINTRLOOP() while writing tokens to the
472 * main.c (main): Ditto.
474 2003-01-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
476 * read.c (eval): eval() was not fully reentrant, because the
477 collapsed buffer was static. Change it to be an automatic
478 variable so that eval() can be invoked recursively.
480 (eval): Apply patch # 1022: fix memory reference error on long
481 target-specific variable lines.
482 Patch provided by Steve Brown <Steve.Brown@macquarie.com>.
484 * function.c (check_numeric): Combine the is_numeric() function
485 into this function, since it's only called from one place.
486 Constify this function. Have it print the incorrect string in the
487 error message. Fixes bug #2407.
488 (strip_whitespace): Constify.
490 * expand.c (expand_argument): Constify.
492 2003-01-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
494 Fix bug # 2169, also reported by other people on various systems.
496 * make.h: Some systems, such as Solaris and PTX, do not fully
497 implement POSIX-compliant SA_RESTART functionality; important
498 system calls like stat() and readdir() can still fail with EINTR
499 even if SA_RESTART has been set on the signal handler. So,
500 introduce macros EINTRLOOP() and ENULLLOOP() which can loop on
501 EINTR for system calls which return -1 or 0 (NULL), respectively,
503 Also, remove the old atomic_stat()/atomic_readdir() and
504 HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART handling.
506 * configure.in: Remove setting of HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART.
508 * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Use EINTRLOOP() to wrap fstat().
509 * remake.c (touch_file): Ditto.
511 * commands.c (delete_target): Use EINTRLOOP() to wrap stat().
512 * read.c (construct_include_path): Ditto.
513 * remake.c (name_mtime): Ditto.
514 * vpath.c (selective_vpath_search): Ditto.
515 * dir.c (find_directory): Ditto.
517 (find_directory): Use ENULLLOOP() to wrap opendir().
518 (dir_contents_file_exists_p): Use ENULLLOOP() to wrap readdir().
520 * misc.c: Remove HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART, atomic_stat(), and
521 atomic_readdir() handling.
523 2003-01-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
525 * function.c (func_call): Fix Bug #1744. If we're inside a
526 recursive invocation of $(call ...), mask any of the outer
527 invocation's arguments that aren't used by this one, so that this
528 invocation doesn't "inherit" them accidentally.
530 2002-12-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
532 * function.c (subst_expand): Valery Khamenia reported a
533 pathological performance hit when doing substitutions on very
534 large values with lots of words: turns out we were invoking
535 strlen() a ridiculous number of times. Instead of having each
536 call to sindex() call strlen() again, keep track of how much of
537 the text we've seen and pass the length to sindex().
539 2002-11-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
541 * README.cvs, configure.in: Upgrade to require autoconf 2.56.
544 2002-11-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
546 * NMakefile.template (OBJS): Add hash.c object file.
547 * SMakefile.template (srcs): Ditto.
548 * Makefile.ami (objs): Ditto.
549 * build_w32.bat: Ditto.
551 * Makefile.DOS.template: Remove extra dependencies.
553 2002-10-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
555 * expand.c (install_variable_buffer): New function. Install a new
556 variable_buffer context and return the previous one.
557 (restore_variable_buffer): New function. Free the current
558 variable_buffer context and put a previously saved one back.
559 * variable.h: Prototypes for {install,restore}_variable_buffer.
560 * function.c (func_eval): Push a new variable_buffer context
561 before we eval, then restore the old one when we're done.
564 * read.c (install_conditionals): New function. Install a new
565 conditional context and return the previous one.
566 (restore_conditionals): New function. Free the current
567 conditional context and put a previously saved one back.
568 (eval): Use the {install,restore}_conditionals for "include"
570 (eval_buffer): Use {install,restore}_conditionals to preserve the
571 present conditional state before we evaluate the buffer.
574 * doc/make.texi (Quick Reference): Add references to $(eval ...)
576 (Recursion): Add a variable index entry for CURDIR.
578 * README.cvs: Update to appropriate versions.
579 * Makefile.am (nodist_loadavg_SOURCES): automake gurus point out I
580 don't need to copy loadavg.c: automake is smart enough to create
581 it for me. Still have a bug in automake related to ansi2knr tho.
583 2002-10-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
585 * remake.c (notice_finished_file): Only touch targets if they have
586 at least one command (as per POSIX). Resolve Bug #1418.
588 * *.c: Convert to using ANSI C-style function definitions.
589 * Makefile.am: Enable the ansi2knr feature of automake.
590 * configure.in: ditto.
592 2002-10-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
594 * commands.c (set_file_variables): Bug #1379: Don't use alloca()
595 for automatic variable values like $^, etc. In the case of very
596 large lists of prerequisites this causes problems. Instead reuse
597 a static buffer (resizeable) for each variable.
599 * read.c (eval): Fix Bug #1391: allow "export" keyword in
600 target-specific variable definitions. Check for it and set an
602 (record_target_var): Set the export field to v_export if the
603 "exported" flag is set.
604 * doc/make.texi (Target-specific): Document the ability to use
607 * doc/make.texi: Change the name of the section on automatic
608 variables from "Automatic" to "Automatic Variables". Added text
609 clarifying the scope of automatic variables.
611 2002-10-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
613 * read.c (eval): Allow SysV $$@ variables to use {} braces as well
615 (record_files): Ditto.
617 * expand.c (variable_expand_string): In $(A:x=y) expansion limit
618 the search for the '=' to only within the enclosing parens.
620 2002-10-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
622 Version 3.80 released.
624 * dir.c: Change hash functions to use K&R function definition style.
629 Update to automake 1.7.
631 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Update to require 1.7.
632 (pdf): Remove this target as automake now provides one.
634 * configure.in: Change AM_CONFIG_HEADER to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
636 2002-09-30 Martin P.J. Zinser <zinser@decus.de>
638 * makefile.com: Updates for GNU make 3.80.
639 * makefile.vms: Ditto.
641 2002-09-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
643 * read.c (enum make_word_type): Remove w_comment.
644 (get_next_mword): Don't treat comment characters as special; where
645 this function is used we will never see a comment (it's stripped
646 before we get here) and treating comments specially means that
647 targets like "foo\#bar" aren't handled properly.
649 2002-09-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
651 * doc/make.texi (Bugs): Update with some info on Savannah, etc.
653 * read.c (eval): Expansion of arguments to export/unexport was
654 ignoring all arguments after the first one. Change the algorithm
655 to expand the whole line once, then parse the results.
657 2002-09-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
659 Fix Bug #940 (plus another bug I found while looking at this):
661 * read.c (record_target_var): enter_file() will add a new entry if
662 it's a double-colon target: we don't want to do that in this
663 situation. Invoke lookup_file() and only enter_file() if it does
664 not already exist. If the file we get back is a double-colon then
665 add this variable to the "root" double-colon target.
667 * variable.c (initialize_file_variables): If this file is a
668 double-colon target but is not the "root" target, then initialize
669 the root and make the root's variable list the parent of our
672 2002-09-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
674 * doc/make.texi (MAKE Variable): Add some indexing for "+".
676 * hash.c (round_up_2): Get rid of a warning.
678 2002-09-12 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
680 * Makefile.am (loadavg_SOURCES, loadavg.c): Tiptoe around automake
681 so it doesn't complain about getloadavg.c.
683 * commands.c (set_file_variables): Make sure we always alloca() at
684 least 1 character for the value of $? (for '\0').
686 2002-09-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
688 * hash.h (STRING_COMPARE, ISTRING_COMPARE, STRING_N_COMPARE): Fix
689 macro to use RESULT instead of the incorrect _RESULT_.
691 * make.h (HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART): Add prototypes for atomic_stat()
692 and atomic_readdir(). We need to #include dirent.h to get this to
694 * misc.c (atomic_readdir): Fix typos.
696 2002-09-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
698 * read.c (eval): Expand variable lists given to export and
699 unexport, so that "export $(LIST_OF_VARIABLES)" (etc.) works.
700 (conditional_line): Ditto for "ifdef". Fixes bug #103.
702 * doc/make.texi (Variables/Recursion): Document this.
703 (Conditional Syntax): And here.
705 2002-09-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
707 * configure.in: Check for memmove().
709 2002-09-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
711 * configure.in (HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART): Define this on PTX systems;
712 Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com> reports that while it has
713 SA_RESTART, it does not work properly.
715 * misc.c (atomic_stat): If HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART, create a function
716 that invokes stat() and loops to do it again if it returns EINTR.
717 (atomic_readdir): Ditto, with readdir().
719 * make.h (stat, readdir): If HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART, alias stat()
720 and readdir() to atomic_stat() and atomic_readdir().
722 2002-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
724 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Daniel <barkalow@reputation.com>
725 reports that GNU make sometimes doesn't recognize that targets can
726 be made, when directories can be created as prerequisites. He
727 reports that changing the order of predicates in the DEP->changed
728 flag test so that lookup_file() is always performed, solves this
731 2002-08-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
733 * configure.in: Require a newer version of gettext.
735 * misc.c (perror_with_name): Translate the format string (for
736 right-to-left language support).
737 (pfatal_with_name): Ditto.
739 * main.c: Create a static array of strings to store the usage
740 text. This is done to facilitate translations.
741 (struct command_switch): Remove argdesc and description fields.
742 (switches): Remove values for obsolete fields.
743 (print_usage): Print each element of the usage array.
745 * hash.c: Change function definitions to be K&R style.
747 2002-08-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
749 * NEWS: Remove the mention of .TARGETS; we aren't going to publish
750 this one because it's too hard to get right. We'll look at it for
752 * main.c (main): Don't create the .TARGETS variable.
753 * variable.c (handle_special_var): Don't handle .TARGETS.
755 2002-08-01 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
757 * main.c (switches): Add a new option, -B (--always-make). If
758 specified, make will rebuild all targets that it encounters even
759 if they don't appear to be out of date.
760 (always_make_flag): New flag.
761 * make.h: Extern always_make_flag.
762 * remake.c (update_file_1): Check always_make_flag; if it's set we
763 will always rebuild any target we can, even if none of its
764 prerequisites are newer.
767 * doc/make.texi (Shell Function): Make it clear that make
768 variables marked as "export" are not passed to instances of the
771 Add new introspection variable .VARIABLES and .TARGETS.
773 * variable.c (handle_special_var): New function. If the variable
774 reference passed in is "special" (.VARIABLES or .TARGETS),
775 calculate the new value if necessary. .VARIABLES is handled here:
776 walk through the hash of defined variables and construct a value
777 which is a list of the names. .TARGETS is handled by
779 (lookup_variable): Invoke handle_special_var().
780 * file.c (build_target_list): Walk through the hask of known files
781 and construct a list of the names of all the ones marked as
783 * main.c (main): Initialize them to empty (and as simple variables).
784 * doc/make.texi (Special Variables): Document them.
785 * NEWS: Mention them.
787 * variable.h (struct variable): Add a new flag "exportable" which
788 is true if the variable name is valid for export.
789 * variable.c (define_variable_in_set): Set "exportable" when a new
791 (target_environment): Use the "exportable" flag instead of
792 re-checking the name here... an efficiency improvement.
794 2002-07-31 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
796 * config.h-vms.template: Updates to build on VMS. Thanks to
797 Brian_Benning@aksteel.com for helping verify the build.
798 * makefile.com: Build the new hash.c file.
799 * hash.h: Use strcpmi(), not stricmp(), in the
800 HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS case.
802 2002-07-30 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
804 * hash.h (ISTRING_COMPARE, return_ISTRING_COMPARE): Add missing
805 backslashes to the HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS case.
806 Reported by <Brian_Benning@aksteel.com>.
808 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
810 * variable.c (pop_variable_scope): Remove variable made unused by
811 new hash infrastructure.
812 * read.c (dep_hash_cmp): Rewrite this to handle ignore_mtime
813 comparisons as well as name comparisons.
814 * variable.h: Add a prototype for new hash_init_function_table().
815 * file.c (lookup_file): Remove variables made unused by new hash
817 * dir.c (directory_contents_hash_2): Missing return of hash value.
818 (dir_contents_file_exists_p): Remove variables made unused by new
822 Installed Greg McGary's integration of the hash functions from the
823 GNU id-utils package:
825 2002-07-10 Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>
827 * scripts/functions/filter-out: Add literals to to the
828 pattern space in order to add complexity, and trigger
829 use of an internal hash table. Fix documentation strings.
830 * scripts/targets/INTERMEDIATE: Reverse order of files
831 passed to expected `rm' command.

925 2002-07-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
927 Implement the SysV make syntax $$@, $$(@D), and $$(@F) in the
928 prerequisite list. A real SysV make will expand the entire
929 prerequisites list _twice_: we don't do that as it's a big
930 backward-compatibility problem. We only replace those specific
933 * read.c (record_files): Replace any $@, $(@D), and $(@F) variable
934 references left in the list of prerequisites. Check for .POSIX as
935 we record targets, so we can disable non-POSIX behavior while
936 reading makefiles as well as running them.
937 (eval): Check the prerequisite list to see if we have anything
938 that looks like a SysV prerequisite variable reference.
940 2002-07-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
942 * doc/make.texi (Prerequisite Types): Add a new section describing
943 order-only prerequisites.
945 * read.c (uniquize_deps): If we have the same file as both a
946 normal and order-only prereq, get rid of the order-only prereq,
947 since the normal one supersedes it.
949 2002-07-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
951 * AUTHORS: Added Greg McGary to the AUTHORS file.
952 * NEWS: Blurbed order-only prerequisites.
953 * file.c (print_file): Show order-only deps properly when printing
956 * maintMakefile: Add "update" targets for wget'ing the latest
957 versions of various external files. Taken from Makefile.maint in
960 * dosbuild.bat: Somehow we got _double_ ^M's. Remove them.
961 Reported by Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>.
963 2002-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
965 * po/*.po: Remove. We'll use wget to retrieve them at release
968 * variable.c (do_variable_definition) [W32]: On W32 using cmd
969 rather than a shell you get an exception. Make sure we look up
970 the variable. Patch provided by Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>.
972 * remake.c (notice_finished_file): Fix handling of -t flag.
973 Patch provided by Henning Makholm <henning@makholm.net>.
975 * implicit.c (pattern_search): Some systems apparently run short
976 of stack space, and using alloca() in this function caused an
977 overrun. I modified it to use xmalloc() on the two variables
978 which seemed like they might get large. Fixes Bug #476.
980 * main.c (print_version): Update copyright notice to conform with
982 (print_usage): Update help output.
984 * function.c (func_eval): Create a new make function, $(eval
985 ...). Expand the arguments, put them into a buffer, then invoke
986 eval_buffer() on the resulting string.
987 (func_quote): Create a new function, $(quote VARNAME). Inserts
988 the value of the variable VARNAME without expanding it any
991 * read.c (struct ebuffer): Change the linebuffer structure to an
992 "eval buffer", which can be either a file or a buffer.
993 (eval_makefile): Move the code in the old read_makefile() which
994 located a makefile into here: create a struct ebuffer with that
995 information. Have it invoke the new function eval() with that
997 (eval_buffer): Create a new function that creates a struct ebuffer
998 that holds a string buffer instead of a file. Have it invoke
999 eval() with that ebuffer.
1000 (eval): New function that contains the guts of the old
1001 read_makefile() function: this function parses makefiles. Obtains
1002 data to parse from the provided ebuffer. Some modifications to
1003 make the flow of the function cleaner and clearer. Still could
1004 use some work here...
1005 (do_define): Takes a struct ebuffer instead of a FILE*. Read the
1006 contents of the define/endef variable from the ebuffer.
1007 (readstring): Read the next line from a string-style ebuffer.
1008 (readline): Read the next line from an ebuffer. If it's a string
1009 ebuffer, invoke readstring(). If it's a FILE* ebuffer, read it
1012 * dep.h (eval_buffer): Prototype eval_buffer();
1014 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): Make sure that all
1015 non-target-specific variables are registered in the global set.
1016 If we're invoked from an $(eval ...) we might be inside a $(call
1017 ...) or other function which has pushed a variable scope; we still
1018 want to define our variables from evaluated makefile code in the
1021 2002-07-03 Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>
1023 * dep.h (struct dep) [ignore_mtime]: New member.

1029 (read_makefile): Parse '|' in prerequisite list.
1030 (uniquize_deps): Consider ignore_mtime when comparing deps.
1031 * remake.c (update_file_1, check_dep): Don't force remake for
1032 dependencies that have d->ignore_mtime.
1033 * commands.c (FILE_LIST_SEPARATOR): New constant.
1034 (set_file_variables): Don't include a
1035 prerequisite in $+, $^ or $? if d->ignore_mtime.
1038 2002-06-18 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1040 * make.texinfo: Updates for next revision. New date/rev/etc.
1041 Recreate all Info menus. Change license on the manual to the GNU
1042 Free Documentation License. A number of typos.
1043 (Variables Simplify): Don't use "-" before it's defined.
1044 (Automatic Prerequisites): Rewrite the target example to work
1045 properly if the compile fails. Remove incorrect comments about
1046 how "set -e" behaves.
1047 (Text Functions): Move the "word", "wordlist", "words", and
1048 "firstword" functions here, from "File Name Functions".
1049 * make-stds.texi: Update from latest GNU version.
1050 * fdl.texi: (created) Import the latest GNU version.
1052 2002-06-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1054 * variable.c (do_variable_definition): New function: extract the
1055 part of try_variable_definition() that actually sets the value
1056 into a separate function.
1057 (try_variable_definition): Call do_variable_definition() after
1058 parsing the variable definition string.
1059 (define_variable_in_set): Make the name argument const.
1061 * variable.h (enum variable_flavor): Make public.
1062 (do_variable_definition): Create prototype.
1064 * read.c (read_all_makefiles): Create a new built-in variable,
1066 (read_makefile): Add each makefile read in to this variable value.
1068 2002-05-18 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1070 * Makefile.DOS.template: Tweak according to changes in the
1071 distribution. Add back the dependencies of *.o files.
1073 * configh.dos.template: Synchronize with config.h.in.
1075 2002-05-09 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1077 * file.c (file_timestamp_now): Use K&R function declaration.
1079 * getloadavg.c (getloadavg): Merge setlocale() fix from sh-utils
1080 getloadavg.c. Autoconf thinks QNX is SVR4-like, but it isn't, so
1081 #undef it. Remove predefined setup of NLIST_STRUCT. Decide
1082 whether to include nlist.h based on HAVE_NLIST_H. Change obsolete
1083 NLIST_NAME_UNION to new HAVE_STRUCT_NLIST_N_UN_N_NAME.
1084 * configure.in (NLIST_STRUCT): Define this if we have nlist.h and
1085 nlist.n_name is a pointer rather than an array.
1087 * acinclude.m4 (make_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED): Grab the latest
1088 version of AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED from autoconf CVS.
1089 * configure.in: Use it instead of the old version.
1091 * main.c (main): Prefer setvbuf() to setlinebuf().
1093 2002-05-08 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1095 * Makefile.am (make_LDADD): Add GETLOADAVG_LIBS.
1096 (loadavg_LDADD): Ditto.
1098 2002-04-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1100 * expand.c (recursively_expand_for_file): Rename
1101 recursively_expand() to recursively_expand_for_file() and provide
1102 an extra argument, struct file. If the argument is provided, set
1103 the variable scope to that of the file before expanding.
1104 * variable.h (recursively_expand): Make this a macro that invokes
1105 recursively_expand_for_file() with a NULL file pointer.
1106 * variable.c (target_environment): Call the renamed function and
1107 provide the current file context.
1108 Fixes Debian bug #144306.
1110 2002-04-28 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1112 Allow $(call ...) user-defined variables to be self-referencing
1113 without throwing an error. Allows implementation of transitive
1114 closures, among other possibly useful things.
1115 Requested by: Philip Guenther <guenther@sendmail.com>
1117 * variable.h (struct variable): Add a new field: exp_count, and
1118 new macros to hold its size and maximum value.
1119 (warn_undefined): Make this a macro.
1120 * variable.c (define_variable_in_set): Initialize it.
1121 * expand.c (recursively_expand): If we detect recursive expansion
1122 of a variable, check the exp_count field. If it's greater than 0
1123 allow the recursion and decrement the count.
1124 (warn_undefined): Remove this (now a macro in variable.h).
1125 * function.c (func_call): Before we expand the user-defined
1126 function, modify its exp_count field to contain the maximum
1127 number of recursive calls we'll allow. After the call, reset it
1130 2002-04-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1132 Modified to use latest autoconf (2.53), automake (1.6.1), and
1133 gettext (0.11.1). We're using gettext's new "external" support,
1134 to avoid including libintl source with GNU make.
1136 * README.cvs: New file. Explain how to build GNU make from CVS.
1138 * configure.in: Modify checking for the system glob library.
1139 Use AC_EGREP_CPP instead of AC_TRY_CPP. Remove the setting of
1140 GLOBDIR (we will always put "glob" in SUBDIRS, so automake
1141 etc. will manage it correctly). Set an automake conditional
1142 USE_LOCAL_GLOB to decide whether to compile the glob library.
1144 * getloadavg.c (main): Include make.h in the "TEST" program to
1147 * Makefile.am: Remove special rules for loadavg. Replace them
1148 with Automake capabilities for building extra programs.
1150 * signame.c: This file does nothing if the system provide
1151 strsignal(). If not, it implements strsignal(). If the system
1152 doesn't define sys_siglist, then we make our own; otherwise we use
1154 * signame.h: Removed.
1156 * main.c (main): No need to invoke signame_init(). Update copyright.
1158 * ABOUT-NLS: Removed.
1159 * gettext.c: Removed.
1160 * gettext.h: Get a simplified copy from the gettext package.
1162 * i18n/*.po: Moved to po/.
1165 * config/*: Created. Contains package configuration helper files.
1166 * config.guess, config.sub: Moved to config directory.
1168 * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add po/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.
1169 Rework to use new-style autoconf features. Use the "external"
1170 mode for gettext. Make the build.sh config file conditional on
1171 whether build.sh.in exists, to avoid autoconf errors.
1172 * acinclude.m4: Removed almost all macros as being obsolete.
1173 Rewrote remaining macros to use AC_DEFINE.
1174 * acconfig.h: Removed.
1176 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add config/config.rpath. Use a
1177 conditional to handle customs support. Remove special handling
1180 2002-04-20 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1182 * function.c (func_call): Don't mark the argument variables $1,
1183 etc. as recursive. They've already been fully expanded so
1184 there's no need to do it again, and doing so strips escaped $'s.
1185 Reported by Sebastian Glita <glseba@yahoo.com>.
1187 * remake.c (notice_finished_file): Walk through double-colon
1188 entries via the prev field, not the next field!
1189 Reported by Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>.
1191 * main.c (main): If the user specifies -q and asks for a specific
1192 target which is a makefile, we got an assert. In that case it
1193 turns out we should continue normally instead.
1195 * i18n/de.po, i18n/fr.po: Installed an updated translation.
1197 * i18n/he.po: Installed a new translation.
1199 2002-01-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1201 * i18n/es.po, i18n/ru.po: Installed an updated translation.
1203 2001-12-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1205 * i18n/ja.po: Installed an updated translation.
1207 2001-09-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1209 * i18n/da.po: Installed an updated translation.
1211 2001-08-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1213 * i18n/fr.po: Installed an updated translation.
1214 Resolves Debian bug #106720.
1216 2001-06-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1218 * i18n/da.po, configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): Installed a new
1221 2001-06-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1223 * i18n/ko.po: Installed a new translation.
1225 2001-05-06 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1227 Modify the EINTR handling.
1229 * job.c (new_job): Reorganize the jobserver algorithm. Reorder
1230 the way in which we manage the file descriptor/signal handler race
1231 trap to be more efficient.
1233 2001-05-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1235 Restart almost all system calls that are interrupted, instead
1236 of worrying about EINTR. The lone exception is the read() for
1239 * configure.in (HAVE_SA_RESTART): New macro.
1240 (MAKE_JOBSERVER): Define to 1 only if HAVE_SA_RESTART.
1241 * main.c (main): Use SA_RESTART instead of the old,
1242 nonstandard SA_INTERRUPT.
1244 * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add bsd_signal.
1245 * main.c (bsd_signal): New function or macro,
1246 if the implementation doesn't supply it.
1247 (The bsd_signal function will be in POSIX 1003.1-200x.)
1248 (HANDLESIG): Remove.
1249 (main, FATAL_SIG): Use bsd_signal instead of signal or HANDLESIG.
1251 * make.h (EINTR_SET): Remove.
1252 (SA_RESTART): New macro.
1254 * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Don't worry about EINTR.
1255 * function.c (func_shell): Likewise.
1256 * job.c (reap_children, free_child, new_job): Likewise.
1257 * main.c (main): Likewise.
1258 * remake.c (touch_file, name_mtime): Likewise.
1260 * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Fix bug uncovered by EINTR removal;
1261 if fstat failed with errno!=EINTR, the error was ignored.
1263 * job.c (set_child_handler_action_flags): New function.
1264 (new_job): Use it to temporarily clear the SIGCHLD action flags
1265 while reading the token.
1267 2001-05-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1269 * job.c (start_job_command): Don't add define/endef per-line flags
1270 to the top-level flags setting.
1272 2001-04-03 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1274 * arscan.c (VMS_get_member_info,ar_scan) [VMS]: VMS sets the low
1275 bit on error, so check for odd return values, not non-0 return
1277 (VMS_get_member_info): Calculate the timezone differences correctly.
1278 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
1281 2001-03-14 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1283 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: Null-terminate the variable
1284 value before invoking define_variable().
1285 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
1287 2001-02-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1289 * read.c (record_target_var): If we reset the variable due to a
1290 command-line variable setting overriding it, turn off the "append"
1293 2001-01-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1295 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: When getting values from the
1296 environment, allocate enough space for the _value_ plus escapes,
1297 not enough space for the name plus escapes :-/.
1298 Reported by John Fowler <jfowler@nyx.net>.
1300 * remake.c (f_mtime): Removed the "***" prefix from the mod time
1301 warnings that make generates, so it doesn't look like an error.
1302 Reported by Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>.
1305 Fix for PR/2020: Rework appended target-specific variables. I'm
1306 fairly confident this algorithm is finally correct.
1308 * expand.c (allocated_variable_append): Rewrite. Instead of
1309 expanding each appended variable then adding all the expanded
1310 strings together, we append all the unexpanded values going up
1311 through the variable set contexts, then expand the final result.
1312 This behaves just like non-target-specific appended variable
1313 values, while the old way didn't in various corner cases.
1314 (variable_append): New function: recursively append the unexpanded
1315 value of a variable, walking from the outermost variable scope to
1317 * variable.c (lookup_variable): Remove the code that looked up the
1318 variable set list if the found variable was "append". We don't
1320 (lookup_variable_in_set): Make this non-static so we can use it
1322 (try_variable_definition): Use lookup_variable_in_set() rather
1323 than faking out current_variable_set_list by hand (cleanup).
1324 * variable.h: Add a prototype for the now non-static
1325 lookup_variable_in_set().
1327 2000-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1329 * remake.c (f_mtime) [WINDOWS32]: On various advice, I changed the
1330 WINDOWS32 port to assume timestamps can be up to 3 seconds away
1331 before throwing a fit.
1333 2000-11-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1335 * read.c (readline): CRLF calculations had a hole, if you hit the
1336 buffer grow scenario just right. Reworked the algorithm to avoid
1337 the need for len or lastlen at all. Problem description with
1338 sample code chages provided by Chris Faylor <cgf@redhat.com>.
1340 2000-10-24 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1342 * gettext.c (SWAP): Declare this with the prototype, otherwise
1343 some systems don't work (non-32-bit? Reported for Cray T3E).
1344 Reported by Thorstein Thorsteinsson <thor@signe.teokem.lu.se>.
1346 2000-10-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1348 * acinclude.m4 (AM_LC_MESSAGES): Remove undefined macro
1349 AM_LC_MESSAGES; it doesn't seem to do anything anyway??
1351 * i18n/gl.po, configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): New Galician translation.
1353 2000-09-22 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1355 * gettext.c: Don't #define _GETTEXT_H here; we only include some
1356 parts of the real gettext.h here, and we expect to really include
1357 the real gettext.h later. If we keep this #define, it's ignored.
1359 2000-09-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1361 * main.c (log_working_directory): Rework the text to use complete
1362 sentences, to make life simpler for the translators.
1364 2000-08-29 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1366 * file.c (remove_intermediates): Print a debug message before we
1367 remove intermediate files, so the user (if she uses -d) knows
1370 2000-08-21 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1372 * variable.c (try_variable_definition): Change how we handle
1373 target-specific append variable defns: instead of just setting the
1374 value, expand it as an append _but_ only within the current
1375 target's context. Otherwise we lose all but the last value if the
1376 variable is appended more than once within the current target
1377 context. Fixes PR/1831.
1379 2000-08-16 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1381 * function.c (func_shell): Nul-terminate the buffer before
1382 printing an exec error message (just in case it's not!).
1383 Fixes PR/1860, reported by Joey Hess <joey@valinux.com>.
1385 2000-07-25 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1387 * job.c (construct_command_argv_internal): Add "~" to the list of
1388 sh_chars[] which disallow optimizing out the shell call.
1390 2000-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1392 * NEWS, make.texinfo: Document .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME, which
1393 supersedes --disable-nsec-timestamps.
1394 * make.texinfo: Consistently use "time stamp" instead of "timestamp".
1395 * README: Remove --disable-nsec-timestamps.
1397 * filedef.h (struct file.low_resolution_time): New member.
1398 * file.c (snap_deps): Add support for .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME.
1399 * remake.c (update_file_1):
1400 Avoid spurious rebuilds due to low resolution time stamps,
1401 generalizing the earlier code that applied only to archive members.
1402 (f_mtime): Archive members always have low resolution time stamps.
1404 * configure.in: Remove --disable-nsec-timestamps, as this has
1405 been superseded by .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME.
1407 2000-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1409 * configure.in (enable_nsec_timestamps): Renamed from
1410 make_cv_nsec_timestamps, since enable/disable options
1411 shouldn't be cached.
1413 2000-07-23 Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org>
1414 and Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1416 * file.c (file_timestamp_now):
1417 Use preprocessor-time check for FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES
1418 so that clock_gettime is not linked unless needed.
1420 * filedef.h (FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES):
1421 Remove definition; "configure" now does this.
1423 * configure.in (jm_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T): Move up,
1424 to before high resolution file timestamp check,
1425 since that check now uses uintmax_t.
1426 (FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES): Define to nonzero if the code should use
1427 high resolution file timestamps.
1428 (HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME): Do not define if !FILE_TIMESTAMP_HI_RES,
1429 so that we don't link in clock_gettime unnecessarily.
1431 2000-07-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1433 * i18n/ja.po: New version of the translation file.
1435 2000-07-07 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1437 * remake.c (f_mtime): If NO_FLOAT is defined, don't bother with
1438 the offset calculation.
1439 (name_mtime): Replace EINTR test with EINTR_SET macro.
1441 2000-07-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1445 * remake.c (update_file_1):
1446 Avoid spurious rebuilds of archive members due to their
1447 timestamp resolution being only one second.
1448 (f_mtime): Avoid spurious warnings of timestamps in the future due to
1449 the clock's resolution being lower than file timestamps'.
1450 When warning about future timestamps, report only the discrepancy,
1451 not the absolute value of the timestamp and the current time.
1453 * file.c (file_timestamp_now): New arg RESOLUTION.
1454 * filedef.h (file_timestamp_now): Likewise.
1455 (FILE_TIMESTAMP_NS): Now returns int. All uses changed.
1457 2000-07-05 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1459 * variable.c (lookup_variable) [VMS]: Remove vestigial references
1460 to listp. Fixes PR/1793.
1462 2000-06-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
1464 * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): New macro, with stamp-pot in it.
1466 * dir.c (vms_hash): Ensure ctype macro args are nonnegative.
1468 * remake.c (f_mtime): Remove unused var memtime.
1470 2000-06-25 Martin Buchholz <martin@xemacs.org>
1472 * make.texinfo, NEWS, TODO.private: Minor spelling corrections.
1473 Ran spell-check on make.texinfo.
1475 2000-06-23 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
1477 * main.c (main): Replace EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, and
1478 EXIT_TROUBLE with MAKE_SUCCESS, MAKE_FAILURE, and MAKE_TROUBLE.
1479 * make.h: Define these macros.
1481 * Version 3.79.1 released.
1483 * configure.in: Add a new option, --disable-nsec-timestamps, to
1484 avoid using sub-second timestamps on systems that support it. It
1485 can lead to problems, e.g. if your makefile relies on "cp -p".
1486 * README.template: Document the issue with "cp -p".
1488 * config.guess, config.sub: Updated.
1492 See ChangeLog.2, available in the CVS repository at:
