2009-05-26Add 'private' variable modifier, feature submitted by Ramon Garcia.Paul Smith1-0/+30
Rework the parser for variables to allow multiple modifiers and also allow for variables and targets with modifier names, like "export" and "private".
2009-05-24We had the incorrect ISBN in the manual; not sure what happened herePaul Smith1-0/+5
but the FSF confirmed that we had the wrong one.
2009-05-24Found this change in an old CVS workspace: rewrite savestring() to thePaul Smith1-0/+11
more standard xstrndup().
2009-03-14(convert_Path_to_windows32): Fix last change. Fixes Savannah bug #25412.Eli Zaretskii1-0/+3
2009-03-14<top level>: Update Copyright years. Add prototype for xmalloc.Eli Zaretskii1-0/+12
(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.

2007-12-22Makefile.DOS.template (info_TEXINFOS): Remove unused variable.Eli Zaretskii1-0/+21
(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".

(.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.
2007-12-22configh.dos.template [__DJGPP__]: Replace HAVE_SYS_SIGLIST withEli Zaretskii1-0/+11
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.
2007-12-22config.h.W32: Include sys/types.h.Eli Zaretskii1-0/+3
[!_PID_T_] (pid_t): Define only if not already defined.
2007-12-22vpath.c (construct_vpath_list) [HAVE_DOS_PATHS]: Support VPATH values thatEli Zaretskii1-0/+6
use `:' in drive letters, when PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR is also `:'.
2007-11-05For mod times farther in the future, print the value in fixed-point ratherPaul Smith1-0/+5
than exponential notation (patch from Bruno Haible).
2007-11-04New special variable: .RECIPEPREFIXPaul Smith1-0/+49
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.
2007-10-13Windows: allow SHELL to be set to a more complex value by checking itsPaul Smith1-0/+6
expansion to see if it's a valid shell, not just the unexpanded value.
2007-10-10Fixes from Eli Zaretskii:Paul Smith1-0/+16
Fix to allow quoted directories in PATH. Fix for Savannah bug #20549.
2007-10-10Some Windows fixes to allow builds to succeed.Paul Smith1-0/+12
2007-08-15Incorporate Icarus Sparry's fix for 3330 and 15919, and test cases.Paul Smith1-0/+13
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.
2007-07-14Fix Savannah bug #20452.Paul Smith1-0/+7
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.
2007-07-04* Update to GPLv3Paul Smith1-4/+15
* Update copyright to 2007 * Fix download URL for translation files (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
2007-06-19Fix a core dump when reading_file is 0 (20033).Paul Smith1-0/+10
Fix some manual typos (20018).
2007-05-11Fix some documentation gitches.Paul Smith1-0/+16
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.
2007-05-09Fix Savannah bug #19656: rationalize our use of case-insensitive stringPaul Smith1-0/+22
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.
2007-03-21Fix Savannah bug #19348: if the user specifiedPaul Smith1-1/+6
--disable-case-insensitive-file-system, don't turn it on.
2007-03-20This is a major update, which switches virtually every allocated-but-not-freedPaul Smith1-1/+23
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.
2006-11-18Fix from Eli for incorrect value of $(MAKE) on Cygwin.Paul Smith1-1/+42
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.
2006-10-01Fixed a number of documentation bugs, plus some build/install issues:Paul Smith1-0/+66
16304, 16468, 16577, 17701, 17880, 16051, 16652, 16698 Plus some from the mailing list. Imported a patch from Eli to allow Cygwin builds to support DOS-style pathnames.
2006-04-09Another round of cleanups:Paul Smith1-0/+27
- 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.

2006-04-01Release GNU make 3.81.Paul Smith1-0/+36
Update NEWS docs. Enhance the manual to use automake version.texi, and use the canonical FSF copyright features and statement. 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.
2006-03-22Fixed Savannah bug #16140.Boris Kolpackov1-0/+6
