The new GNU Maintainer's Manual allows the use of year ranges in certain situations; take advantage of this simplification.

Fixes Savannah bug #34530.
2012-01-30Add support for "::=" simple assignment operator.Paul Smith1-29/+47
The next POSIX standard will define "::=" to have the same behavior as GNU make's ":=", so add support for this new operator.

2009-09-16- Add xcalloc() and call itPaul Smith1-5/+9
- Fix memory errors found by valgrind - Remove multi_glob() and empower parse_file_seq() to do its job: the goal here is to remove the confusing reverse/re-reverse we do on the file lists: needed for future fixes. - Add a prefix arg to parse_file_seq() - Make concat() variadic so it can take arbitrary #'s of strings

2009-05-26Add 'private' variable modifier, feature submitted by Ramon Garcia.Paul Smith1-60/+109
Rework the parser for variables to allow multiple modifiers and also allow for variables and targets with modifier names, like "export" and "private".
2009-05-24Found this change in an old CVS workspace: rewrite savestring() to thePaul Smith1-1/+1
more standard xstrndup().
2008-01-26(target_environment): Don't use shell_var if its `value' field is NULL.Eli Zaretskii1-9/+12
2007-12-22configh.dos.template [__DJGPP__]: Replace HAVE_SYS_SIGLIST withEli Zaretskii1-0/+3
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 Smith1-4/+18
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 Smith1-1/+18
expansion to see if it's a valid shell, not just the unexpanded value.
2007-07-04* Update to GPLv3Paul Smith1-4/+4
* Update copyright to 2007 * Fix download URL for translation files (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
2007-03-20This is a major update, which switches virtually every allocated-but-not-freedPaul Smith1-27/+28
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/+1
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 Smith1-1/+1
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 Smith1-23/+22
- 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.

2004-12-05Fix bug with SHELL handling: make sure the variable struct is initialized.Paul Smith1-9/+7
2004-11-28Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.Paul Smith1-9/+17
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.
2004-10-05Moved expansion of simple pattern-specific variables from the rebuild stageBoris Kolpackov1-4/+19
to the read stage.

2002-10-14Convert the source code to use ANSI C style function definitions andPaul Smith1-82/+55
enable the automake ansi2knr capability. Right now this doesn't quite build using a K&R compiler because of a problem with the loadavg test program, but the rest of the code works. I'm asking the automake list about this problem.
2002-10-04Fix K&R-isms found on SunOS 4.1.4 builds.Paul Smith1-3/+7
2002-09-17Fix bug #940 (from the Savannah bug tracker): make sure that target-Paul Smith1-4/+18
specific variables work correctly in conjunction with double-colon targets.
