2012-03-03Ensure that .ONESHELL works with .SHELLFLAGS options containing whitespace.Paul Smith1-0/+6
See Savannah bug #35397.
2012-03-03Fix Savannah bug #35410: handle escape chars in filter/filter-outPaul Smith1-0/+6
Also add a valgrind suppression file for Guile-enabled make.
2012-03-03Modify backslash/newline handling for POSIX.Paul Smith1-0/+5
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.
2012-01-30Add support for "::=" simple assignment operator.Paul Smith1-0/+3
The next POSIX standard will define "::=" to have the same behavior as GNU make's ":=", so add support for this new operator.

escape characters (backslashes) in the target name. See Savannah bug #33399
2011-09-18When we re-exec the master makefile in a jobserver environment, ensurePaul Smith1-0/+3
that MAKEFLAGS is set properly so the re-exec'd make runs in parallel. See Savannah bug #33873.
2011-09-18We compute various values for vpath lookup the first time throughPaul Smith1-0/+6
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
2011-09-12Ensure variables defined in $(call ...) have global scopePaul Smith1-0/+5
Add a note about using #!/usr/bin/make -f to the manual. Clean up the w32 subdirectory in the dist tarball.
2011-09-02Ensure that -n takes precedence over -t.Paul Smith1-0/+5
Patch from Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>
2011-08-29Save strings we're expanding in case an embedded eval causes themPaul Smith1-0/+5
to be freed (if they're the value of a variable that's reset for example). See Savannah patch #7534
2011-06-12Fix another error related to whitespace handling in archives.Paul Smith1-0/+6
Newer version of VMS support strncasecmp() so update the config.h.
2011-05-07Ensure private variables are not used when appending target-specificPaul Smith1-0/+3
variables. Fixes Savannah bug #32872.
2011-05-07Inverted the boolean test from what I wanted it to be. Added aPaul Smith1-0/+5
regression test to make sure this continues to work.
2011-05-02Use the same algorithm for counting the number of words to sort as wePaul Smith1-0/+4
use to break up the list of words, so we're sure to get the same number. Fixes Savannah bug #33125

2007-08-15Incorporate Icarus Sparry's fix for 3330 and 15919, and test cases.Paul Smith1-0/+13

2007-07-14Fix Savannah bug #20452.Paul Smith1-0/+20
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.
