POSIX Issue 8 will require a new assignment operator, :::=.
This operator behaves similarly to the BSD make := operator: the
right-hand side is expanded immediately, but then the value is
re-escaped (all '$' are converted to '$$') and the resulting variable
is considered a recursive variable: the value is re-expanded on use.
* src/variable.h (enum variable_flavor): Add f_expand flavor.
* src/variable.c (do_variable_definition): When defining f_expand,
post-process the result to re-escape '$' characters.
Remove default: to the compiler warns about un-handled enum values.
Set recursive values for both f_recursive and f_expand.
(parse_variable_definition): Rewrite this method.
The previous version was annoying to extend to ':::='.
(print_variable): Remove default: so the compiler warns us about
un-handled enum values.
* src/function.c (func_origin): Remove default: so the compiler warns
us about un-handled enum values.
* doc/make.texi: Add documentation for :::=.
* tests/scripts/variables/define: Add a test for define :::=.
* tests/scripts/variables/flavors: Add tests for :::=.
* tests/scripts/variables/negative: Add tests for :::=.
Initialize the global variable_buffer in main() so that it is never
a null pointer. Then invoking variable_expand("") is never needed:
simply use the variable_buffer pointer when we want to restart the
variable buffer. The main point of this simplification is not to
keep a separate pointer to the beginning of the buffer: this is
dangerous because the buffer may be re-allocated. Instead always
use the variable_buffer pointer itself.
* src/variable.h (initialize_variable_output): Publish.
* src/expand.c (initialize_variable_output): Remove static.
* src/main.c (main): Initialize variable_buffer.
* src/file.c (enter_prereqs): Don't call variable_expand("") and
don't save a separate buffer pointer than might be outdated.
(expand_deps): Ditto.
* src/read.c (record_files): Ditto.
* src/remake.c (library_search): Ditto.
Rewrite the environment variable algorithm to correctly inherit
export settings from parent variable sets. The new algorithm
for computing the table of environment variables is:
- Start with the most local variable set and proceed to global.
- If the variable already exists in the table and we don't know
its export status, update it with the current variable's status.
- If the variable is not in the table and it's not global, add it
regardless of its status so if it's unexported we remember that.
- If the variable is not in the table and is global, check its
export status and don't add it if we won't export it.
Then when generating the environment variables, check the export
status of each variable in case it was a target-specific variable
and we have determined it should not be exported.
Rework SHELL handling to check at the end whether we added it or
not and if we didn't, add the value from the environment.
* NEWS: Announce support for target-specific "unexport"."
* doc/make.texi (Target-specific): Document the support.
* src/variable.h (enum variable_export): Make into a global type.
* src/read.c (struct vmodifiers): Use enum variable_export rather
than individual booleans.
(parse_var_assignment): Parse the "unexport" keyword.
(eval): Remember the vmodifier value in the variable.
(record_target_var): Ditto.
* src/variable.c (should_export): Check if the variable should be
exported.
(target_environment): Implement the above algorithm.
* tests/scripts/features/export: Test export/unexport with variable
assignments on the same line.
* tests/scripts/features/targetvars: Add a comprehensive suite of
tests for different types of target-specific export / unexport.
* tests/scripts/variables/SHELL: Update the comment.
Move the source code (other than glob) into the "src" subdirectory.
Update all scripting and recommendations to support this change.
* *.c, *.h, w32/*: Move to src/
* configure.ac, Makefile.am, maintMakefile: Locate new source files.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*: Update for new source file locations.
* NEWS, README.DOS.template: Update for new locations.
* build.template, build_w32.bat, builddos.bat: Ditto.
* po/POTFILES.in: Ditto
* tests/run_make_tests.pl, tests/scripts/features/load*: Ditto.
* make.1: Move to doc.
* mk/VMS.mk: Add support for building on VMS (hopefully).
* makefile.vms, prepare_w32.bat: Remove.
* SCOPTIONS: Update to define HAVE_CONFIG_H
