* 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.

* tests/scripts/functions/shell: Add tests for .SHELLSTATUS.
Upated to match change to run_make_tests and some future fixes to

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.
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.
If output-sync is enabled, have make write the command line to the temp file
instead of printing it directly to the screen to ensure that the output is
ordered properly. Also, remove extraneous enter/leave operations by having
them printed directly when dumping temp file output.
If we are not going to sync a command line then dump any collected output
first to preserve ordering. Do some code cleanup:
* Move the handle init to a separate function.
* Move the temp file truncation to the output function.
* Remember whether we sync in a variable for readability.
* Handle EINTR and short writes in child_out().
* Always call sync_output() in case output_sync was changed due to error.
load.c (load_object, load_file): Accept an additional argument
DLP and return in it a pointer that can be used to unload the
dynamic object.
read.c (eval): Call load_file with an additional argument, and
record the pointer returned there in the 'struct file' object of
dynamic objects in that object's 'struct file'.
commands.c (execute_file_commands): Unload dynamic objects
before remaking them, to avoid failure to remake if the OS doesn't
allow overwriting objects that are in use.
filedef.h (struct file): New member dlopen_ptr.
gnumake.h (GMK_EXPORT): Define to dllexport/dllimport
decorations for Windows and to nothing on other platforms.
(gmk_eval, gmk_expand, gmk_add_function): Add GMK_EXPORT qualifier
to prototypes.
makeint.h (MAIN): Define before including gnumake.h, to give
correct dllexport decorations to exported functions.
(load_file): Adjust prototype.
loadapi.c: Don't include gnumake.h, since makeint.h already
includes it, and takes care of defining MAIN before doing so.
build_w32.bat (LinkGCC): Produce an import library for functions
exported by Make for loadable dynamic objects.
w32/compat/posixfcn.c (dlclose): New function.
w32/include/dlfcn.h (dlclose): Add prototype.
scripts/features/load: Fix signatures of testload_gmk_setup and
explicit_setup, to bring them in line with the documentation.
Enhance the child_error() function so that it will write error output to the
child's sync output buffer, if it exists. If it doesn't the output goes to
stdout/stderr.
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.
and store them in static variables; however one value (std_dirs)
was not being stored statically so the second time through it was
not set.
Fixes Savannah bug #32511
backward-incompatible change in the 2008 POSIX specification.
- Add the .SHELLFLAGS variable so people can choose their own shell flags.
- Add tests for this.
- Add documentation for this.
- 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.
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.
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.

Plus some from the mailing list.
Imported a patch from Eli to allow Cygwin builds to support DOS-style
pathnames.
Update NEWS docs.
Enhance the manual to use automake version.texi, and use the canonical

Some $(realpath ...) tests won't work on Windows; leave them out
The jobserver filedescriptor test might fail if some FDs are reserved,
so for now comment out that check.
Revert a fix for $? including non-existent files as it shows a bug
in the Linux kernel build. Give them a release to fix this.
Add some changes from Eli Z. for Windows changes.
