Original patches provided by Igor Todorovski <itodorov@ca.ibm.com>
Reworked by Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>.
Thanks to IBM for providing a test system.
* NEWS: Announce support.
* AUTHORS: Ditto.
* README.zOS: Provide details on building GNU Make on z/OS.
* build.sh (get_mk_var): z/OS sh has a strange bug which causes it to
generate extra lines of output: rework the function to print output
as we compute it instead of collecting it into a variable, which
works around this bug.
* src/makeint.h: Declare MK_OS_ZOS if we're building for z/OS.
* src/arscan.c: Don't include <ar.h> on z/OS.
* src/job.c: We can't change environ in ASCII mode on z/OS.
* src/main.c: Ditto. Also we can't use pselect() on z/OS.
* src/posixos.c: pselect() seems to hang on z/OS: don't use it.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Handle different exit codes on z/OS.
* tests/test_driver.pl: Preserve some special z/OS env.vars.
Add special checks to output comparisons when on z/OS.
* tests/scripts/features/archives: Don't validate names. Don't
try to compile empty files as IBM compilers complain.
* tests/scripts/features/shell_assignment: Fix octal value of #.
* tests/scripts/features/temp_stdin: Don't print "term".
* tests/scripts/functions/shell: Handle shell exit codes.
* tests/scripts/targets/ONESHELL: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/targets/POSIX: sh -x prints differently.
* tests/scripts/variables/SHELL: Ditto.
The POSIX standard only requires false(1) to return a "non-zero" exit
code; almost all systems return 1 but some (Solaris!!!) return 255 or
possibly even other values. Use our helper "fail" instead.
* tests/thelp.pl: Have the "fail" command obey -q.
* tests/scripts/features/parallelism: Helper -q no longer prints fail.
* tests/scripts/targets/POSIX: Replace false with #HELPER# -q fail 1.
* tests/scripts/variables/MAKEFLAGS: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/variables/SHELL: Ditto.
GNU make must recognize some special targets as they are defined.
Because of the way targets are defined, we were not recognizing these
special targets until we were handling the NEXT statement. However
that's too late for some special targets such as .POSIX etc. which can
change the behavior of make during parsing.
Check for special targets earlier, as soon as we've finished parsing
the target introduction line (before we've even parsed the recipe).
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* src/read.c (check_specials): New function to look for special
targets. Move checks from eval() and record_files() to this new
function.
(eval): Call check_specials() after we've completed parsing the target
introduction line. Move default goal detection to check_specials().
(record_files): Move handling of .POSIX, .SECONDEXPANSION, and
.ONESHELL to check_specials().
* tests/scripts/misc/bs-nl: Remove workaround for late .POSIX issue.
* tests/scripts/targets/POSIX: Add a comment.
Rather than having an %extraENV that is added to the default %ENV
and resetting %ENV _before_ each test, allow the test setup to
modify %ENV directly as needed then reset %ENV _after_ each test.
* tests/test_driver.pl: Remove unused %extraENV.
(resetENV): Don't add in %extraENV.
(_run_command): Reset after we run the command rather than before.
* tests/scripts/features/export: Convert %extraENV to %ENV
* tests/scripts/features/jobserver: Ditto
* tests/scripts/features/parallelism: Ditto
* tests/scripts/features/targetvars: Ditto
* tests/scripts/functions/eval: Ditto
* tests/scripts/functions/foreach: Ditto
* tests/scripts/functions/origin: Ditto
* tests/scripts/misc/general4: Ditto
* tests/scripts/options/dash-e: Ditto
* tests/scripts/targets/POSIX: Ditto
* tests/scripts/variables/GNUMAKEFLAGS: Ditto
* tests/scripts/variables/SHELL: Ditto
This reverts commit 6264deece3.
Further investigation discovers that the real issue is that
GNU Emacs compile mode doesn't have a matching regex for GNU
make error messages generated when targets fail. I submitted
a patch to GNU Emacs adding a matcher for compile mode.
* main.c (main): Sanitize program name detection on Windows.
* makeint.h: 'program' is a const string on all platforms now.
* tests/run_make_tests.bat: Windows bat file to invoke tests
* tests/test_driver.pl: Obtain system-specific error messages.
(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.
* tests/scripts/features/archives: Skip on Windows.
* tests/scripts/features/escape: Use list method for passing options.
* tests/scripts/features/include: Use system-specific error messages.
* tests/scripts/features/output-sync: "Command not found" errors
generate very different / odd output on Windows. This needs to be
addressed but for now disable these tests on Windows.
* tests/scripts/functions/abspath: Disable on Windows.
* tests/scripts/functions/file: Use system-specific error messages.
* tests/scripts/functions/shell: "Command not found" errors generate
very different / odd output on Windows. This needs to be addressed
but for now disable these tests on Windows.
* tests/scripts/misc/close_stdout: Disable on Windows.
* tests/scripts/options/dash-k: Use system-specific error messages.
* tests/scripts/options/dash-l: Disable on Windows.
* tests/scripts/options/eval: Use list method for passing options.
* tests/scripts/options/general: Skip some non-portable tests.
* tests/scripts/targets/ONESHELL: Skip some non-portable tests.
* tests/scripts/targets/POSIX: Skip some non-portable tests.
* tests/scripts/variables/MAKEFILES: Skip some non-portable tests.
* tests/scripts/variables/SHELL: Use a makefile not -f- for testing.
backward-incompatible change in the 2008 POSIX specification.
- Add the .SHELLFLAGS variable so people can choose their own shell flags.
- Add tests for this.
- Add documentation for this.
