2005-11-14Implemented the .INCLUDE_DIRS special variable. It expands to a listBoris Kolpackov1-0/+46
of directories that make searches for included makefiles.
2005-10-24Make second expansion optional (partial implementation).Paul Smith1-3/+4
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.
2005-08-25If we're on a DOS/W32/OS2 system and we're not using a unixy shell, don'tPaul Smith1-10/+10
follow POSIX backslash/newline conventions. Use a different method for testing the SHELL variable, which hopefully will work better on non-UNIX systems.
2005-07-12Various minor updates and code cleanups.Paul Smith1-3/+10
2005-07-04Various fixes and updates from testers of the beta3 release (mostly WindowsPaul Smith1-1/+1
and OS/2 changes).
2005-06-25Add a new variable: MAKE_RESTARTS, to count how many times make has re-exec'd.Paul Smith1-0/+62
When rebuilding makefiles, unset -B if MAKE_RESTARTS is >0.
2005-05-03Fix problems with losing tokens in the jobserver, reported by GrantPaul Smith1-12/+12
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...

rules, static pattern rules and implicit rules.
2004-11-29Fix bug #10252: Remove any trailing slashes from -C arguments (WINDOWS32).Paul Smith1-0/+25
Add a regression test for "@" before a define/enddef vs. one inside.
2004-11-28Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.Paul Smith2-2/+50
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.
2004-09-21Add some more unit tests for variable flavors.Paul Smith1-0/+73
Allow run_make_tests() to be invoked with an undef makefile string, in which case it re-uses the previous string.
2004-05-16Various enhancementsPaul Smith1-18/+4
- OS/2 Patches - OpenVMS updates - Sanitize the handling of -include/sinclude with and without -k - Fix the setting of $< for order-only rules.
2004-03-22Numerous updates and bug fixes.Paul Smith1-1/+1
A number of W32 cleanups from J.Grant. A number of OS/2 cleanups from Andreas Buening. Various random bug fixes.
2002-10-05Fix core dump on malformed variable line (Debian bug #81656)Paul Smith1-0/+6
Allow SysV-style variable references to use {} in addition to (). Add variable.h to the POTFILES.in since it has a translatable string.
2002-09-10A few test bug fixes:Paul Smith1-0/+2
* Never use "touch" in make rules; it breaks on most sub-second supporting systems. Use echo "" > $@ instead. * Forgot to close test makefiles before using them! All the above worked fine on Linux but failed miserably on Solaris.
2002-08-08Incorporate some VMS fixes.Paul Smith1-0/+68
Add -B option docs. Add .VARIABLES variable. Add a few new tests. Add a new translation: Swedish
2002-07-10Implement SysV-style $$@ support. I looked at E.Parmelan's patch butPaul Smith1-3/+26
decided to implement this a different way, and didn't use it.
2002-07-09Documentation and tests for order-only prerequisites.Paul Smith1-0/+50
Add a new test suite for automatic variables.
2002-07-08Major updates in preparation for 3.80.Paul Smith2-0/+47
New version of the manual, put into the doc subdir. Enhancements: $(eval ...) and $(value ...) functions, various bug fixes, etc. See the ChangeLog. More to come.
