2005-10-24Make second expansion optional (partial implementation).Paul Smith1-0/+36
I decided this feature was too impacting to make the permanent default behavior. This set of changes makes the default behavior of make the old behavior (no second expansion). If you want second expansion, you must define the .SECONDEXPANSION: special target before the first target that needs it. This set of changes ONLY fixes explicit and static pattern rules to work like this. Implicit rules still have second expansion enabled all the time: I'll work on that next. Note that there is still a backward-incompatibility: now to get the old SysV behavior using $$@ etc. in the prerequisites list you need to set .SECONDEXPANSION: as well.

2005-06-25Fix -W foo yielding infinite recursion in some cases of re-exec.Paul Smith1-0/+4

2005-06-12Fix Savannah bug # 1328: if stdout is redirected to a full filesystem, wePaul Smith1-2/+13
check for this and exit with an error. The closeout.c version from gnulib pulls in too much other stuff, and gnulib requires an ANSI C 89 compliant compiler, while GNU make (so far) still wants to work on K&R.

cleanups. If we find a make error (invalid makefile syntax or something like that) write back any tokens we have before we exit. If we have waiting jobs (using -j + -l) set an alarm before we sleep on the read() system call, so we can wake up to check the load and start waiting jobs, if there are long-running jobs we would otherwise be waiting for. Suggested by Grant Taylor.
2005-05-03Fix problems with losing tokens in the jobserver, reported by GrantPaul Smith1-0/+56
Taylor. There are two forms of this: first, it was possible to lose tokens when using -j and -l at the same time, because waiting jobs were not checked when determining whether any jobs were outstanding. Second, if you had an exported recursive variable that contained a $(shell ...) function there is a possibility to lose tokens, since a token was taken but the child list was not updated until after the shell function was complete. To resolve this I introduced a new variable that counted the number of tokens we have obtained, rather than checking whether there were any children on the list. I also added some sanity checks to make sure we weren't writing back too many or not enough tokens. And, the master make will drain the token pipe before exiting and compare the count of tokens at the end to what was written there at the beginning. Also: * Ensure a bug in the environment (missing "=") doesn't cause make to core. * Rename the .DEFAULT_TARGET variable to .DEFAULT_GOAL, to match the terminology in the documentation and other variables like MAKECMDGOALS. * Add documentation of the .DEFAULT_GOAL special variable. Still need to document the secondary expansion stuff...
2005-04-13Fix performance degradation introduced by the second expansion feature.Paul Smith1-0/+27
I did this by adding intelligence into the algorithm such that the second expansion was only actually performed when the prerequisite list contained at least one "$", so we knew it is actually needed. Without this we were using up a LOT more memory, since every single target (even ones never used by make) had their file variables initialized. This also used a lot more CPU, since we needed to create and populate a new variable hash table for every target. There is one issue remaining with this feature: it leaks memory. In pattern_search() we now initialize the file variables for every pattern target, which allocates a hash table, etc. However, sometimes we recursively invoke pattern_search() (for intermediate files) with an automatic variable (alloca() I believe) as the file. When that function returns, obviously, the file variable hash memory is lost.

2004-11-28Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.Paul Smith1-0/+12
POSIX requires that the value of SHELL in the makefile NOT be exported to sub-commands. Instead, the value in the environment when make was invoked should be passed to the environment of sub-commands. Note that make still uses SHELL to _run_ sub-commands; it just doesn't change the value of the SHELL variable in the environment of sub-commands. As an extension to POSIX, if the makefile explicitly exports SHELL then GNU make _will_ use it in the environment of sub-commands.
