Bug reported privately by Nicolas Ollinger <nollinge@ens-lyon.fr>.
You can trigger this bug prior to updating your sources with for example:
% cat > Makefile <<EOF
.DEFAULT:
a
EOF
% make
- install SIGCONT handler which reestablishes SIGTSTP handler and then calls
JobRestartJobs() to restart all the suspended jobs.
- when SIGTSTP is handled, call JobCatchChildren() so *** Suspended messages
get printed before make stops rather than after.
Well, it should say 'make core-dumps on any error on the primary makefile'.
This was a result of the new changes to print the path to the parsed
Makefile... Made the code a lot more conservative, plus prepended <progname>:
to each message.
way to get gettimeofday(), etc. On some systems on which you might want
to host make (e.g. solaris), <time.h> won't get you a struct timeval
definition.
Add -N flag to *really* not execute any commands (useful when using
the -d flags to debug usr/src/Makefile)
Document -N
Update documentation of -n to mention that it still executes commands
for targets marked .MAKE so that the -N/-n distinction is clear.
use -j; all make's in a recursive build cooperate to limit the total
number of jobs, using a token-passing scheme.
The current token passing algorithm is similar to the one implemented
by gmake; there is a single pipe which is inherited through the entire
process hierarchy; tokens are obtained by reading a byte from the
"read end" of the pipe, and are returned by writing them to the "write
end". This exact algorithm is likely to change in the future.
Implementation details:
- Use the new trace facility to allow measurement of the
effectiveness of different token-passing schemes
- Get a token in MakeStartJobs(), return it in Make_Update()
- Eliminate Job_Full() and the jobFull global since they are
redundant with token system.
- Add an "internal" -J option (to pass the token pipe fd's down to
submakes) and a -T option for tracing.
- Change how compatMake is forced so that -j means something when
inherited by submakes.
- When waiting for a token, poll the token-passing pipe as well as
the output pipes of existing jobs.
poll() for parallel make:
- Make the poll() code behave more like the select() code: sleep for
a bit waiting for output rather than busy-wait (eww).
- Install a no-op SIGCHLD handler so that poll/select wake up early
(with -1/EINTR) when a child exits.
- Change the default sleep time from 500ms to 5 seconds since we now
wake up promptly when a child exits.
try to open tfile many times, passing bad strings to mkstemp
2. remove extra semicolon after the MESSAGE macro
3. more error checking
4. be more careful about setting things to NULL after freeing.
5. fix a comment that does not apply anymore
