* Makefile.am, configure.ac: Check for pselect() and sys/select.h.
* main.c (main): Block SIGCHLD if we have pselect() support.
* posixos.c (jobserver_acquire): If we support pselect() then use
it to query the jobserver pipe, while also listening for SIGCHLD.
Also pselect() supports a timeout so avoid alarm() calls.
This also includes fixing the most of the exit handling code for VMS.
Self tests:
Previously about 94 Tests in 36 categories fail.
Now about 45 tests in 22 categories fail.
Because some tests do not properly clean up, the number of tests that
fail can vary by one or two test cases between consecutive runs.
* Makefile.am: Add new VMS files.
* job.c: add prototype for vms_strsignal().
* job.c: (child_error): Remove VMS specific code as no longer needed.
* job.c: (reap_children): The VMS specific code was setting the
status to 0 instead of setting it to the proper exit status.
* job.h: Add vms_launch_status to struct child.
* main.c: (main): Use environment variables for options to use MCR
* instead of a foreign command, and to always use command files for
subprocesses.
For VMS use (set_program_name) routine which is common to ports of
other GNU packages to VMS to set the program name used internally.
Use (vms_putenv_symbol) to set up symbols to be visible in child
programs, including recursive make launched by execve()
Start of Bash shell detection code for VMS.
* makefile.com: Need nested_include=none for building on VMS search
lists. Add vms_progname, vms_exit, and vms_export_symbol.
* makefile.vms: Need nested_include=none for building on VMS search
lists. Add vms_progname, vms_exit, vms_export_symbol.
* makeint.h: Make sure non-standard "VMS" macro is defined. Add
prototypes for new VMS routines. Remove VMS-specific failure codes.
* vmsjobs.c: Add VMS POSIX exit code constants.
(_is_unixy_shell): Detect Bash shell.
(vms_strsignal): simulate strsignal() on VMS.
(vmsHandleChildTerm): fix to properly report failed LIB$SPAWN() exit
status codes. Remove code that duplicated code in job.c.
(child_execute_job): Export environment symbols before spawning a
child and restore afterward unless option to use command files for
subprocesses is set. Improve handling of UNIX null commands ":".
* vms_exit.c: Provides vms_exit() to detect if an exit code is UNIX
or VMS, and converts the UNIX code into a VMS exit code.
* vms_export_symbol.c: Routines to create DCL symbols that work like
shell aliases or exported shell symbols and clean them up on exit.
* vms_export_symbol_test.com: Unit test for vms_export_symbol.c
* vms_progname.c: New file: VMS specific replace for progname.c that
is used in some GNU projects.
* tests/config-flags.pm.in: A new file containing variable assignments
for the test suite; these variables are set by configure to contain
the values detected there for compilers, flags, etc.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Require the config-flags.pm file
* tests/scripts/features/load, tests/scripts/features/loadapi: Use the
configure-provided values when building the shared test library.
* configure.ac: Replace tests/config-flags.pm.in
* Makefile.am: Make sure tests/config-flags.pm is up to date
* guile.c (guile_gmake_setup) [HAVE_GUILE]: Define a stub function
when Guile support is not enabled.
* main.c (main) [HAVE_GUILE]: Always invoke guile_gmake_setup().
* Makefile.am: Make guile.c standard, not optional.
* build.template: Add the Guile compiler and linker flags.
Rename existing ChangeLog files so they won't be distributed.
Add targets to maintMakefile to generate ChangeLog from the Git
repository. This will require a version of gnulib be available.
Because ChangeLog is auto-generated, we have to switch our
automake mode to "foreign" or it will complain and fail.
Create a new file, output.c, and collect functions that generate output there.
We introduce a new global context specifying where output should go (to stdout
or to a sync file), and the lowest level output generator chooses where to
write output based on that context.
This allows us to set the context globally, and all operations that write
output (including functions like $(info ...) etc.) will use it.
Removed the "--trace=dir" capability. It was too confusing. If you have
directory tracking enabled then output sync will print the enter/leave message
for each synchronized block. If you don't want that, disable directory
tracking.
Provide a simple API for loaded objects to interact with GNU make. I still
won't guarantee that this API won't change but it's much closer to something
that's supported and provides easy-to-use interfaces with a public header
file.
On configure-enabled systems, configure will detect Guile installed
(using pkg-config, which is how GNU Guile is distributed) and enable
it if so.
On all non-configure-enabled systems, currently, the default is for
Guile support to be disabled.
Update NEWS docs.
Enhance the manual to use automake version.texi, and use the canonical
FSF copyright features and statement.
Some $(realpath ...) tests won't work on Windows; leave them out
The jobserver filedescriptor test might fail if some FDs are reserved,
so for now comment out that check.
- Apply a fix for the "thundering herd" problem when using "-j -l".
This also fixes bug #4693.
- Fix bug #7257: allow functions as ifdef arguments
- Fix bug #4518: make sure we print all double-colon rules with -p.
- Upgrade to autconf 2.58/automake 1.8/gettext 0.13.1
- Various doc cleanups, etc.
Fixed problems with the dist target (adding missing files).
Workaround for a bug in gettext 0.12.1 po/Makefile.in.in where distclean
wasn't cleaning everything, which caused distcheck to fail.
enable the automake ansi2knr capability.
Right now this doesn't quite build using a K&R compiler because of a
problem with the loadavg test program, but the rest of the code works. I'm
asking the automake list about this problem.
