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.
2007-11-04New special variable: .RECIPEPREFIXPaul Smith1-24/+6
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.

2007-05-11Fix some documentation gitches.Paul Smith1-4/+13
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 Smith1-3/+3
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.
2007-03-20This is a major update, which switches virtually every allocated-but-not-freedPaul Smith1-2/+2
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 Smith1-9/+9
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/+6
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 Smith1-40/+38
- 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.

2005-08-25If we're on a DOS/W32/OS2 system and we're not using a unixy shell, don'tPaul Smith1-7/+25

2005-05-08Document the secondary expansion method. Also, some other documentationPaul Smith1-9/+28
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 Smith1-685/+37
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...

2004-09-21Fix some bugs in variable pattern substitution (e.g. $(VAR:A=B)),Paul Smith1-2/+2
reported by Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>. One was a simple typo; to fix the other we call patsubst_expand() for all instances of variable substitution, even when there is no '%'. We used to call subst_expand() with a special flag set in the latter case, but it didn't work properly in all situations. Easier to just use patsubst_expand() since that's what it is.
