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.
* ar.c: fix VMS library search for members, which do not have
suffixes, aka filename extensions.
* arscan.c: fix time conversion and library callback routines.
* default.c: more suffixes and automatically create the VMS library
if it doesn't exists.
* output.c (error, fatal, message): Take an extra argument specifying
how many bytes are used by the formatted arguments.
(get_buffer): New function that allocates the requested buffer size.
Remove msc_vsnprintf(), vfmtconcat(), and fmtconcat() as unneeded.
* makeint.h: Declare various helper macros for generating output.
* *.c: Change all error(), fatal(), message() calls to use the macros,
or pass the extra length argument directly.
A few changes from char* to void* where appropriate, and removing of
unnecessary casts.
Much more work on const-ifying the codebase. This round involves some code
changes to make it correct. NOTE!! There will almost certainly be problems
on the non-POSIX ports that will need to be addressed after the const changes
are finished: they will need to be const-ified properly and there may need to
be some changes to allocate memory, etc. as well.
The next (last?) big push for this, still to come, is const-ifying the
filenames in struct file, struct dep, etc. This will allow us to store file
names in the string cache and finally resolve Savannah bug #15182 (make uses
too much memory), among other advantages.
- Add more warnings.
- Rename variables that mask out-scope vars with the same name.
- Remove all casts of return values from xmalloc, xrealloc, and alloca.
- Remove casts of the first argument to xrealloc.
- Convert all bcopy/bzero/bcmp invocations to use memcp/memmove/memset/memcmp.
Implement a fix for bug # 2169: too many OSs, even major OSs like Solaris,
don't properly implement SA_RESTART: important system calls like stat() can
still fail when SA_RESTART is set. So, forget the BROKEN_RESTART config
check and get rid of atomic_stat() and atomic_readdir(), and implement
permanent wrappers for EINTR checking on various system calls (stat(),
fstat(), opendir(), and readdir() so far).
enable the automake ansi2knr capability.
Right now this doesn't quite build using a K&R compiler because of a
problem with the loadavg test program, but the rest of the code works. I'm
asking the automake list about this problem.
* Update maintainers build process; remove GNUmakefile. Require builders to
run automake && autoreconf by hand.
* Use AC_SUBST_FILE to get the maintMakefile included, rather than GNU
make's include directive, which conflicts with automake 1.4's include
directive.
* A few tweaks to the system glob test, after trying it on a system where
it's true.
* Installed patches to archive handling for AIX 4.3 big archives.
* Fix a memory stomp in target-specific variables.
* Fix a memory leak in foreach functions.
* Check for a libc version of GNU glob and, if found, don't use the local
glob headers.
* Fix a bug in OpenVMS archive handling.
* Fix a bug in VMS siglist processing.
