* tests/scripts/variables/MAKEFLAGS: 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.

considered them, and document this behavior in the manual.
* NEWS: Add a note about the new behavior
* doc/make.text (How make Processes a Makefile): Document it.
* main.c (main): Inverse the list of makefile goals.

POSIX says that suffix rules cannot have prerequisites, but after
making this change we observed a number of makefiles "in the wild"
that were relying on this behavior and failed.
For .POSIX: makefiles, obey POSIX. Otherwise preserve the old
behavior. However, generate a warning so users know this is a
problem. In a future version we will change all behavior to be
POSIX-conforming.
* NEWS: describe the change
* src/rule.c (convert_to_pattern): If posix_pedantic don't make a
pattern rule if prereqs exist. Otherwise show a warning.
* tests/scripts/features/suffixrules: Add tests for the new behavior
including .POSIX vs. non-.POSIX.
Initial implementation by Christof Warlich <cwarlich@gmx.de>
* NEWS: Announce the new feature.
* doc/make.texi (Other Special Variables): Document .EXTRA_PREREQS.
* src/dep.h (struct dep): New flag to note extra prereq deps.
* src/filedef.h (expand_extra_prereqs): Declare a function to expand
the value of .EXTRA_PREREQS.
* src/file.c (expand_extra_prereqs): Given a struct variable lookup
of .EXTRA_PREREQS, convert it into a list of deps and for each one
make sure it has a struct file and has the new flag set.
(snap_file): A new function invoked by hash_map that will perform
per-file operations: set up second expansion, intermediate, and also
.EXTRA_PREREQS. Manage circular dependencies by ignoring them.
(snap_deps): Defer per-file operations until the end. Look up the
global .EXTRA_PREREQS and pass it along to snap_file for each file.
* src/implicit.c (struct patdeps): Remember the extra prereqs flag.
(pattern_search): Transfer extra prereqs flag settings into the
matched pattern rule.
* src/rule.h (snap_implicit_rules): Rename count_implicit_rules to
snap_implicit_rules since we now do more than count.
* src/rule.c (snap_implicit_rules): As we walk through all the pattern
rules, add in any global .EXTRA_PREREQS to the dep list. Ensure we
take them into account for the max number of prereqs and name length.
* src/main.c (main): Add extra-prereqs to .FEATURES.
Call the renamed snap_implicit_rules.
* tests/scripts/variables/EXTRA_PREREQS: Add tests.
This patch allows "grouped targets" using the &: syntax:
tgt1 tgt2 ... tgtn &: pre1 pre2 ...
recipe
When the &: separator is used (in single or double colon forms), all
the targets are understood to be built by a single invocation of the
recipe. This is accomplished by piggy-backing on the already-existing
pattern rule feature, using the file's "also_make" list.
* NEWS: Add information about grouped targets.
* doc/make.texi (Multiple Targets): Add information on grouped targets.
(Pattern Intro): Refer to the new section to discuss multiple patterns.
* src/main.c (main): Add "grouped-targets" to .FEATURES
* src/read.c (make_word_type): Add new types for &: and &::.
(eval): Recognize the &: and &:: separator and remember when used.
(record_files): Accept an indicator of whether the rule is grouped.
If so, update also_make for each file to depend on the other files.
(get_next_mword): Recognize the &: and &:: word types.
* tests/scripts/features/grouped_targets: New test script.
* AUTHORS: Add Kaz Kylheku
There's no need to frighten users away from capabilities which are
perfectly reasonable and definitely not going away, by calling them
obsolete or discouraged in the manual.
Move the source code (other than glob) into the "src" subdirectory.

* NEWS: Add information about the new option.
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: Add information about reading files.
* make.texi (File Function): Describe reading files.

last-invoked shell function or != assignment.
* NEWS, doc/make.texi: Document the change.

shell_completed() to handle the completion of the shell, by setting
.SHELLSTATUS. Call it where needed.

* tests/scripts/functions/file: Verify that the no-text version of
$(file ...) works and doesn't add a newline.
Rename existing ChangeLog files so they won't be distributed.
Add targets to maintMakefile to generate ChangeLog from the Git
repository. This will require a version of gnulib be available.
Because ChangeLog is auto-generated, we have to switch our
automake mode to "foreign" or it will complain and fail.
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.
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.
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.
* doc/make.texi: Here. It was sufficient to change an '@itemx'
into an '@item'.

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.
We fixed Savannah 16670 but that broke previously-working makefiles
that relied on the GNU make behavior. The POSIX behavior doesn't
seem to me to be better, and can be obtained using GNU make as well,
so put it back as the default behavior and require .POSIX to
get the POSIX behavior.
Add a new section to the manual discussing backslash/newline handling.
Update the test suite.
On configure-enabled systems, configure will detect Guile installed
(using pkg-config, which is how GNU Guile is distributed) and enable
it if so.
On all non-configure-enabled systems, currently, the default is for
Guile support to be disabled.
* Minor syntax cleanups in the manual
* In non-maintainer mode set NDEBUG to disable assert()
