Over time the non-standard build and install systems (nmake files,
smake files, Visual Studio project files, etc.) have atrophied and
maintaining them is not worth the effort, for such a simple utility
as make. Remove all the non-standard build tool support and unify
OS-specific build rules under a basic set of (GNU make) makefiles.
Preserve the existing bootstrapping scripts (for POSIX, Windows,
and MS-DOS). Also the existing VMS build scripts are left unchanged:
I don't have enough experience with VMS to venture into this area.
Perhaps one of the VMS maintainers might like to determine whether
conversion would be appropriate.
Rather than create libraries for w32 and glob (non-POSIX), simply
link the object files directly to remove the complexity.

This is about twice as fast as the current hash, and removes the
need for double hashing (improving locality of reference). The
hash function is based on Bob Jenkins' design, slightly adapted
wherever Make needs to hash NUL-terminated strings. The old hash
function is kept for case-insensitive hashing.
This saves 8.5% on QEMU's no-op build (from 12.87s to 11.78s).

(get_osname): Compute the $port_type here. Add more $osname checks
for different Windows Perl ports.
(_run_command): Rewrite the timeout capability to work properly
with Windows. Don't use Perl fork/exec; instead use system(1,...)
which allows a more reliable/proper kill operation.
Also, allow options to be given as a list instead of a string, to
allow more complex quoting of command-line arguments.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl (run_make_with_options): Allow options
to be provided as a list in addition to a simple string.
(set_more_defaults): Write sample makefiles and run make on them
instead of trying to run echo and invoking make with -f-, to avoid
relying on shell and echo to get basic configuration values. Also
create a $sh_name variable instead of hard-coding /bin/sh.

The fix for SV 44742 had a side-effect that some double-colon targets
were skipped. This happens because the "considered" facility assumed
that all targets would be visited on each walk through the dependency
graph: we used a bit for considered and toggled it on each pass; if
we didn't walk the entire graph on every pass the bit would get out
of sync. The new behavior after SV 44742 might return early without
walking the entire graph. To fix this I changed the considered value
to an integer which is monotonically increasing: it is then never
possible to incorrectly determine that a previous pass through the
graph already considered the current target.
* filedef.h (struct file): make CONSIDERED an unsigned int.
* main.c (main): No longer need to reset CONSIDERED.
* remake.c (update_goal_chain): increment CONSIDERED rather than
inverting it between 0<->1.

Previously if the jobserver was active, MAKEFLAGS would contain only
the -j option but not the number (not -j5 or whatever) so users
could not discover that value. Allow that value to be provided in
MAKEFLAGS without error but still give warnings if -jN is provided
on the command line if the jobserver is already activated.
* NEWS: Discuss the new behavior.
* os.h, posixos.c, w32/w32os.c: Return success/failure from
jobserver_setup() and jobserver_parse_auth().
* main.c (main): Separate the command line storage of job slots (now
in arg_job_slots) from the control storage (in job_slots). Make a
distinction between -jN flags read from MAKEFLAGS and those seen
on the command line: for the latter if the jobserver is enabled then
warn and disable it, as before.
* tests/scripts/features/jobserver: Add new testing.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* main.c: Rename jobserver_fds variable to jobserver_auth and
--jobserver-fds option to --jobserver-auth.

For performance, we only recompute .VARIABLES when (a) it's expanded
and (b) when its value will change from a previous expansion. To
determine (b) we were checking the number of entries in the hash
table which used to work until we started undefining entries: now if
you undefine and redefine the same number of entries in between
expanding .VARIABLES, it doesn't detect any change. Instead, keep
an increasing change number.
* variables.c: Add variable_changenum.
(define_variable_in_set, merge_variable_sets): Increment
variable_changenum if adding a new variable to the global set.
(undefine_variable_in_set): Increment variable_changenum if
undefining a variable from the global set.
(lookup_special_var): Test variable_changenum not the hash table.
* tests/scripts/variables/special: Test undefining variables.
* main.c (main): Pre-define .LOADED as a default-level variable.
* load.c (load_file): Set the value rather than append it. Avoid
adding an extra initial whitespace.
* tests/scripts/features/load: Run with --warn-undefined-variables.
* job.h (struct child): New bit to mark recursive command lines.
* job.c (start_job_command): Set the recursive command line bit.
(reap_children): If the child is a recursive command and it exits
with 1 during question mode, don't print an error and exit with 1.
* tests/scripts/options/dash-q: Add a regression test.
Newer versions of binutils allow ar to be compiled to generate
"deterministic archives" by default: in this mode no timestamp
information is generated in the static archive, which utterly
breaks GNU make's archive updating capability. Debian and Ubuntu
have turned this feature on by default in their distributions
which causes the regression tests to fail.
Update the regression tests to check for the availability of the
"U" option to ar which disables deterministic archives and allows
GNU make's archive support to work properly again.
In order to fix SV 12267 we were marking the prerequisites of
implicit (pattern) targets that existed elsewhere in the makefile
as precious to keep them from being deleted as intermediate files.
However this also keeps them from being deleted on error. Instead
mark them as secondary.
* tests/scripts/targets/DELETE_ON_ERROR: Test DELETE_ON_ERROR.
Add a new variable .SHELLSTATUS which holds the exit status of the
last-invoked shell function or != assignment.
* NEWS, doc/make.texi: Document the change.
* function.c (shell_completed, msdos_openpipe, func_shell_base): Add
shell_completed() to handle the completion of the shell, by setting
.SHELLSTATUS. Call it where needed.
* job.c (child_handler): Call shell_completed().
* tests/scripts/functions/shell: Add tests for .SHELLSTATUS.
Upated to match change to run_make_tests and some future fixes to
make on VMS.

* tests/scripts/functions/file: Verify that the no-text version of
$(file ...) works and doesn't add a newline.
* remake.c (update_file, update_file_1, check_dep): Return an enum
update_status value instead of an int, and keep the highest value we
find as we walk the graph so that the ultimate status is correct.
* tests/scripts/options/dash-q: Add a test for updating prerequisites.
* tests/config-flags.pm.in: A new file containing variable assignments

Expand the characters which are legal in a function name, and check
the name for validity. Create a type for the function pointer.
Convert the last argument from a boolean to flags, to allow for expansion.
Don't dup stdout into stderr in the test suite.
Don't rely on $port_type eq "UNIX" to mean case-preserving.
Check against the real output of ar when creating archives.
In this mode we still collect all the output from a given target and
dump it at once. However we don't treat recursive lines any differently
from non-recursive lines. Also we don't print enter/leave messages
after every dump. However we do ensure that we always print them once
to stdout, so the parent make will collect it properly.
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.
We tried to get some efficiency by avoiding a parse_file_seq() for simple
pattern prerequisites, but this also means no wildcard expansion was
happening, so add it back. Add regression tests for wildcards in target and
prerequisite lists.
This allows you to write portable makefiles that set GNU make-specific command
line options in the environment or makefile: add them to GNUMAKEFLAGS instead
of MAKEFLAGS and they will be seen by GNU make but ignored by other
implementations of make.
This mode replaces the previous heuristic setting enabled with -O, where we
would log directory enter/leave for each synchronized output. Now we only
do that if --trace=dir is given.
If output-sync is enabled, have make write the command line to the temp file
instead of printing it directly to the screen to ensure that the output is
ordered properly. Also, remove extraneous enter/leave operations by having
them printed directly when dumping temp file output.
If we are not going to sync a command line then dump any collected output
first to preserve ordering. Do some code cleanup:
* Move the handle init to a separate function.
* Move the temp file truncation to the output function.
* Remember whether we sync in a variable for readability.
* Handle EINTR and short writes in child_out().
* Always call sync_output() in case output_sync was changed due to error.
load.c (load_object, load_file): Accept an additional argument
DLP and return in it a pointer that can be used to unload the
dynamic object.
read.c (eval): Call load_file with an additional argument, and
record the pointer returned there in the 'struct file' object of
dynamic objects in that object's 'struct file'.
commands.c (execute_file_commands): Unload dynamic objects
before remaking them, to avoid failure to remake if the OS doesn't
allow overwriting objects that are in use.
filedef.h (struct file): New member dlopen_ptr.
gnumake.h (GMK_EXPORT): Define to dllexport/dllimport
decorations for Windows and to nothing on other platforms.
(gmk_eval, gmk_expand, gmk_add_function): Add GMK_EXPORT qualifier
to prototypes.
makeint.h (MAIN): Define before including gnumake.h, to give
correct dllexport decorations to exported functions.
(load_file): Adjust prototype.
loadapi.c: Don't include gnumake.h, since makeint.h already
includes it, and takes care of defining MAIN before doing so.
build_w32.bat (LinkGCC): Produce an import library for functions
exported by Make for loadable dynamic objects.
w32/compat/posixfcn.c (dlclose): New function.
w32/include/dlfcn.h (dlclose): Add prototype.
scripts/features/load: Fix signatures of testload_gmk_setup and
explicit_setup, to bring them in line with the documentation.
Enhance the child_error() function so that it will write error output to the
child's sync output buffer, if it exists. If it doesn't the output goes to
stdout/stderr.
A new flag to the -O/--output-sync, "job", selects a per-job (that is, per
line of a recipe) output synchronization. To support this move the close of
the temp file out of the sync_output() function and don't do it until we free
the child, since we may call sync_output() multiple times in a given recipe.
When we set up for a new temp file, if we're in per-job mode we truncate the
file and seek to the beginning to re-use it for every job.
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.
