We now just list the names of such variables in .MAKEOVERRIDES.
When we come to export MAKEFLAGS we quote the value of each exported variable
using :Q, using: ${.MAKEOVERRIDES:O:u:@v@$v=${$v:Q}@}
The :O:u suppresses duplicate names.
Also modifed Parse_DoVar to re-export MAKEFLAGS whenever .MAKEOVERRIDES
is assigned to so .MAKEOVERRIDES+= PATH will export PATH=${PATH:Q}
to the environment, while .MAKEOVERRIDES= will disable export of VAR_CMD's.
1. make -dx turns on DEBUG_SHELL which causes sh -x to be used where
possible.
2. PrintOnError() is now called when make is stopping due to an error.
This routine reports the curdir and the value of any variables listed
in MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR.
3. Variables set via command line, are propagated to child-makes via
MAKEFLAGS. This behaviour appears to be necessary for POSIX (according
to the GNU folk anyway).
4. Do not reset MAKEFILE when reading ".depend" as this rather eliminates the
usefulness of ${MAKEFILE}.
5. Added ${.newline} as a simple means of being able to include \n in the
result of a :@ loop expansion.
6. Set ${MAKE_VERSION} if defined. Need to come up with a useful value.

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.
To avoid that, we now do ::[+?!]*= but the SysV = modifier can
conflict with any new modifier. At there are currently no Makefiles
in our tree that use ${FOO::=bar}
problems such as using modifiers on .for loop iterators derived from
local variables (eg .TARGET).
Unless the variable already exists in a global context, these assignments are
local to the current context (this is usually what is wanted).
These allow some very useful magic in the makefiles.
The comment in var.c describing their behaviour is mostly lifted
from ODE make, but the implementation of the modifiers themselves
is quite different (much simpler) due to divergence of our code base.
in the presence of .PATH directives by specifying:
.PATH: .DOTLAST
This will be used to fixup the build system to work with both crypto-us
and crypto-intl sub-trees.
Make(1) changes by Christos Zoulas, after much badgering by me :-)
- fix the variable substitution code in make [PR/2748]
1. change s/a/b/ so that it substitutes the first occurance of the
pattern on each word, not only the first word.
2. add flag '1' to the variable substitution so that the substitutions
get performed only once.
***THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE!***
Unfortunately there was no way to make things consistent without
modifying the current behavior. Fortunately none of our Makefiles
depended on this.
OLD:
VAR = aa1 aa2 aa3 aa4
S/a/b/ = ba1 aa2 aa3 aa4
S/a/b/g = bb1 bb2 bb3 bb4
NEW:
VAR = aa1 aa2 aa3 aa4
S/a/b/ = ba1 ba2 ba3 ba4
S/a/b/1 = ba1 aa2 aa3 aa4
S/a/b/g = bb1 bb2 bb3 bb4
S/a/b/1g = bb1 aa2 aa3 aa4
- add regexp variable substitution via 'C/foo/bar/' [PR/2752]
- add variable quoting via the ${VAR:Q} modifier. This is useful when running
recursive invocations of make(1):
make VAR=${VAR:Q}
will always work... (This may prove useful in the kernel builds...) [PR/2981]
- ${.PREFIX} should never contain a full pathname
- Fixed gcc -Wall warnings
Major:
- compatMake is now FALSE. This means that we are now running in
full pmake mode:
* rules on dependency lines can be executed in parallel and or
out of sequence:
foo: bar baz
can fire the rule for baz before the rule for bar is fired.
To enforce bar to be fired before baz, another rule needs to be
added. [bar: baz]
* adjacent shell commands in a target are now executed by a single
invocation of the shell, not one invocation of the shell per line
(compatMake can be turned off using the -B flag)
- The -j flag now works... I.e. make -j 4 will fork up to four jobs in
parallel when it can. The target name is printed before each burst
of output caused by the target execution as '--- target ---', when j > 1
- I have changed all the Makefiles so that they work with make -j N, and
I have tested the whole netbsd by:
'make -j 4 cleandir; make -j 4 depend; make -j 4; make -j 4 install'
- I have not compiled or tested this version of make with -DREMOTE.
