Look up this target in the list of + pattern-specific variables and insert the variable set into the + queue to be searched. + + * filedef.h (struct file): Add a new field to hold the + previously-found pattern-specific variable reference. Add a new + flag to remember whether we already searched for this file. + + * rule.h (struct pattern_var): New structure for storing + pattern-specific variable values. Define new function prototypes. + + * rule.c: New variables pattern_vars and last_pattern_var for + storage and handling of pattern-specific variable values. + (create_pattern_var): Create a new pattern-specific variable value + structure. + (lookup_pattern_var): Try to match a target to one of the + pattern-specific variable values. + +1998-04-22 Paul D.

Smith <psmith@gnu.org> + + * variable.c (define_variable_in_set): Made globally visible. + (lookup_variable_in_set): New function: like lookup_variable but + look only in a specific variable set. + (target_environment): Use lookup_variable_in_set() to get the + correct export rules for a target-specific variable. + (create_new_variable_set): Create a new variable set, and just + return it without installing it anywhere. + (push_new_variable_scope): Reimplement in terms of + create_new_variable_set. + + * read.c (record_target_var): Like record_files, but instead of + files create a target-specific variable value for each of the + listed targets. Invoked from read_makefile() when the target line + turns out to be a target-specific variable assignment. + +1998-04-19 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org> + + * read.c (read_makefile): Rewrite the entire target parsing + section to implement target-specific variables. In particular, we + cannot expand the entire line as soon as it's read in, since we + may want to evaluate parts of it with different variable contexts + active. Instead, start expanding from the beginning until we find + the `:' (or `::'), then determine what kind of line this is and + continue appropriately. + + * read.c (get_next_mword): New function to parse a makefile line + by "words", considering an entire variable or function as one + word. Return the type read in, along with its starting position + and length. + (enum make_word_type): The types of words that are recognized by + get_next_mword(). + + * variable.h (struct variable): Add a flag to specify a per-target + variable. + + * expand.c: Make variable_buffer global. We need this during the + new parsing of the makefile. + (variable_expand_string): New function. Like variable_expand(), + but start at a specific point in the buffer, not the beginning. + (variable_expand): Rewrite to simply call variable_expand_string(). + +1998-04-13 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org> + + * remake.c (update_goal_chain): Allow the rebuilding makefiles + step to use parallel jobs. Not sure why this was disabled: + hopefully we won't find out :-/. + +1998-04-11 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org> + + * main.c (main): Set the CURDIR makefile variable. + * make.texinfo (Recursion): Document it. + +1998-03-17 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org> + + * misc.c (makefile_fatal): If FILE is nil, invoke plain fatal(). + * variable.c (try_variable_definition): Use new feature. + +1998-03-10 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org> + + * main.c (main): Don't pass included, rebuilt makefiles to + re-exec'd makes with -o. Reopens a possible loop, but it caused + too many problems. + +1998-03-02 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org> + + * variable.c (try_variable_definition): Implement ?=. + * make.texinfo (Setting): Document it. + +1998-02-28 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il> + + * job.c (start_job_command): Reset execute_by_shell after an empty + command, like ":", has been seen. + +Tue Oct 07 15:00:00 1997 Phil Brooks <phillip_brooks@hp.com> + + * make.h: [WINDOWS32] make case sensitivity configurable + * dir.c: [WINDOWS32] make case sensitivity configurable + * README.W32: Document case sensitivity + * config.ami: Share case warping code with Windows + +Mon Oct 6 18:48:45 CDT 1997 Rob Tulloh <rob_tulloh@dev.tivoli.com> + + * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: Added support for MKS toolkit shell + (turn on HAVE_MKS_SHELL). + * read.c: [WINDOWS32] Fixed a problem with multiple target rules + reported by Gilbert Catipon (gcatipon@tibco.com). If multiple + path tokens in a rule did not have drive letters, make would + incorrectly concatenate the 2 tokens together. + * main.c/variable.c: [WINDOWS32] changed SHELL detection code to + follow what MSDOS did. In addition to watching for SHELL variable + updates, make's main will attempt to default the value of SHELL + before and after makefiles are parsed. + * job.c/job.h: [WINDOWS32] The latest changes made to enable use + of the GNUWIN32 shell from make could cause make to fail due to a + concurrency condition between parent and child processes. Make + now creates a batch file per job instead of trying to reuse the + same singleton batch file. + * job.c/job.h/function.c/config.h.W32: [WINDOWS32] Renamed macro + from HAVE_CYGNUS_GNUWIN32_TOOLS to BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL. Reworked + logic to reduce complexity. WINDOWS32 now uses the unixy_shell + variable to detect Bourne-shell compatible environments. There is + also a batch_mode_shell variable that determines whether not + command lines should be executed via script files. A WINDOWS32 + system with no sh.exe installed would have unixy_shell set to + FALSE and batch_mode_shell set to TRUE. If you have a unixy shell + that does not behave well when invoking things via 'sh -c xxx', + you may want to turn on BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL and see if things + improve. + * NMakefile: Added /D DEBUG to debug build flags so that unhandled + exceptions could be debugged. + +Mon Oct 6 00:04:25 1997 Rob Tulloh <rob_tulloh@dev.tivoli.com> + + * main.c: [WINDOWS32] The function define_variable() does not + handle NULL. Test before calling it to set Path. + * main.c: [WINDOWS32] Search Path again after makefiles have been + parsed to detect sh.exe. + * job.c: [WINDOWS32] Added support for Cygnus GNU WIN32 tools. + To use, turn on HAVE_CYGNUS_GNUWIN32_TOOLS in config.h.W32. + * config.h.W32: Added HAVE_CYGNUS_GNUWIN32_TOOLS macro. + +Sun Oct 5 22:43:59 1997 John W. Eaton <jwe@bevo.che.wisc.edu> + + * glob/glob.c (glob_in_dir): [VMS] Globbing shouldn't be + case-sensitive. + * job.c (child_execute_job): [VMS] Use a VMS .com file if the + command contains a newline (e.g. from a define/enddef block). + * vmsify.c (vmsify): Return relative pathnames wherever possible. + * vmsify.c (vmsify): An input string like "../.." returns "[--]". + +Wed Oct 1 15:45:09 1997 Rob Tulloh <rob_tulloh@tivoli.com> + + * NMakefile: Changed nmake to $(MAKE). + * subproc.bat: Take the make command name from the command + line. If no command name was given, default to nmake. + * job.c: [WINDOWS32/MSDOS] Fix memory stomp: temporary file names + are now always created in heap memory. + * w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: New implementation of make_command_line() + which is more compatible with different Bourne shell implementations. + Deleted the now obsolete fix_command_line() function. + * main.c: [WINDOWS32] Any arbitrary spelling of Path can be + detected. Make will ensure that the special spelling `Path' is + inserted into the environment when the path variable is propagated + within itself and to make's children. + * main.c: [WINDOWS32] Detection of sh.exe was occurring too + soon. The 2nd check for the existence of sh.exe must come after + the call to read_all_makefiles(). + +Fri Sep 26 01:14:18 1997 <zinser@axp602.gsi.de> + + * makefile.com: [VMS] Fixed definition of sys. + * readme.vms: Comments on what's changed lately. + +Fri Sep 26 01:14:18 1997 John W.

Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com> + + * read.c (read_makefile): Reworked target detection again; the old + version had an obscure quirk. + Fri Sep 19 09:20:49 1997 Paul D.
