Previously we used the fact that this line ending expanded to "$ "
which would then expand to the empty string. This has problems if
you enable warnings for undefined variables, so directly implement
this special (but documented) trick in the GNU Make parser.
As a side-effect this also removes all previous whitespace when
in GNU Make mode (not in POSIX mode) just as it would without "$".
* src/misc.c (collapse_continuations): Check for "$\" and remove it.
* tests/scripts/variables/flavors: Add regression tests including
with previous whitespace, and escaped/unescaped "$"
POSIX Issue 8 will require a new assignment operator, :::=.
This operator behaves similarly to the BSD make := operator: the
right-hand side is expanded immediately, but then the value is
re-escaped (all '$' 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 :::=.
* 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.
