* NEWS: Add information about reading files.
* make.texi (File Function): Describe reading files.
* tests/scripts/functions/file: Test new features for $(file ...)
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.
* arscan.c: Use ANSI compatible pragmas instead of VAX C extensions.
* tests/scripts/features/archives: Fix tests to use VMS rules and
answers when running on VMS and using DCL as a shell.
* tests/scripts/features/vpath3: Fix epected answer on test when
run on VMS.
* tests/scripts/vms/library: (New) Test the VMS library rules that
are not tested by existing tests.

* function.c (func_file): Only write TEXT if it is not NULL.
* NEWS, doc/make.texi: Document the new feature
* 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
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
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.
