- Fix Savannah bug #17752
- Test suite:
* When tests fail keep a "run" file containing the command invoked.
* Support for the Valgrind "memcheck" and "massif" tools.
(find_file): Accept 3 arguments PATH_VAR, FULL_FNAME, and FULL_LEN
instead of an LPOFSTRUCT pointer. Use xmalloc instead of malloc.
Loop over an array of extensions, instead of duplicating the same
code inline. Use SearchPath followed by CreateFile, instead of
the obsolete OpenFile. Fixes Savannah bug #17277.
(process_begin): Find $(PATH) in `envp', and pass a pointer to it
to `find_file'. Fixes Savannah bug #25662.
(TEXINFOS): Value changed to `doc/make.texi'.
(.SUFFIXES): Use .texi instead of .texinfo.
(make.info, make.dvi): Depend on doc/make.texi.
(.texi.info): New target, instead of ".texinfo.info". Change -I switch
to $(MAKEINFO) to look in doc/. Use --no-split.
(.texi): New target, instead of ".texinfo". Change -I switch to $(MAKEINFO)
to look in doc/. Use --no-split.
(.texi.dvi): New target, instead of ".texinfo.dvi". Change -I switch
to $(MAKEINFO) to look in doc/.
(install-info-am, uninstall-info): Don't look for "*.i[0-9]" and
"*.i[0-9][0-9]" (due to --no-split above).
(noinst_TEXINFOS, TEXI2HTML, TEXI2HTML_FLAGS): New variables.
(html, make_1.html): New targets.
(.PHONY): Add "html".
(.SUFFIXES): Add .html.
HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST.
job.c (child_execute_job): Remove __MSDOS__ because MSDOS/DJGPP build does
not use child_execute_job.
variable.c (define_automatic_variables) [__MSDOS__]: Always export the SHELL
environment variable to the child.
Allows the user to reset the prefix character for introducing recipe lines
from the default (tab) to any other single character, and back again.
Also, reworked the manual to consistently use the word "recipe" to describe
the set of commands we use to update a target, instead of the various
phrases used in the past: "commands", "command lines", "command scripts",
etc.
One of our translations disappeared from the translations site so remove it.
The fdl.texi file was changed to not contain any @node entries, so add some
around it in make.texi.
Add a new feature to the test suite suggested by Icarus Sparry:
set a timer before invoking a test, so that if it loops infinitely we
will wake up and have a chance to kill the process and continue.
Fix an uninitialized variable.
Add builtin rules for Objective C.
Add a new debug line that shows where the commands that are about to be run
were defined.
comparison functions to always use POSIX strcasecmp(). For non-POSIX
systems that use other functions (strcmpi or stricmp) use a macro to alias
strcasecmp to those. If we can't find any of them (VMS, plus whatever
UNIX doesn't have them) then define our own version in misc.c.
string into the strcache. As a side-effect, many more structure members and
function arguments can/should be declared const.
As mentioned in the changelog, unfortunately measurement shows that this
change does not yet reduce memory. The problem is with secondary expansion:
because of this we store all the prerequisites in the string cache twice.
First we store the prerequisite string after initial expansion but before
secondary expansion, then we store each individual file after secondary
expansion and expand_deps(). I plan to change expand_deps() to be callable
in either context (eval or snap_deps) then have non-second-expansion
targets call expand_deps() during eval, so that we only need to store that
dependency list once.
