This gives a considerable speedup in the processing of .WAIT and .ORDER.
Both .WAIT and .ORDER stop both the commands of the node, and its dependant
nodes being built until the LH nodes are complete.
.WAIT only applies to the dependency line on which it appears, whereas
.ORDER applies globally between the two nodes.
In both cases dependant nodes can be built because other targets need them.
make now processes the target list left to right, scheduling child nodes
as they are needed to make other nodes (instead of attempting to generate
a bottom-up dependency graph at the start). This means that 'make -j1'
will tend to build in the same order as a non-parallel make.
Note that:
all: x y
x: a .WAIT b
y: b .WAIT a
does not generate a dependency loop.
But
x: y
.ORDER y x
does (unless something elswhere causes 'y' to be built).
globbing.
The old behaviour was the perform variable expansion and globbing on the
output of both the variable expansion and globbing. Which allows some very
strange behaviour if, for example, globbed filenames contain $ symbols.
Unconditionally add new nodes from these expansions even if the names are
already children. The .WAIT code needs the order of children preserved.
(Almost all the debug output went there, but some went to stderr.)
Split the parsing of -d (debug flags) out into its own routine.
Allow the output filename to be changed by specifying -dF<file> to create
a log file, or -dF+<file> to append to it. <file> may be stdout or stderr.
Also change so that -d-<flags> acts on <flags> locally but doesn't copy
them to MAKEFLAGS so they aren't inherited by child makes.
I'm not 100% happy with the command line syntax for the above, so they are
currently undocumented.
functions work. When they allocate storage that needs to be freed, instead
of setting a boolean, set the pointer to be freed. Plug some more memory
leaks found by inspection.
ignoring suffix-specific path search. So if a node was marked .MADE,
then suffix rules would not be applied to it, and we would look for
the file only in the default path, not the suffix-specific path.
XXX: Now that we looked for the suffix, we can save it in the GNode,
but we don't do this yet.
Instead of adding MAKE_BOOTSTRAP for hosted environments, i.e., when
you want things simple, instead add MAKE_NATIVE to get those hugely
important features like __RCSID().
It's now possible to build make on some hosts with: cc *.c */*.c
the .DOTLAST primitive by a boolean variable with the same name, this whole
mechanism was broken ... it doesn't save much stat calls but it was wrong.
Thanks to Jason Thorpe for the other shadow-variable fixing patches he
made.
a refCount of 1 to indicate its presence on sufflist. Hence suffixes were
being removed by Suff_EndTransform() and being freed before all the
referential links were removed. This resulted in a malloc warning on 1.5.x:
make in free(): warning: chunk is already free.
This could be reproduced with the following simple Makefile passed to
"make -r":
=====
.SUFFIXES: .l .c
.l.c:
foo:
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
arguments names on one function being swapped (by a previous author).
Do not do any duplicate suppression when a source list is created. Instead:
* OP_MADE protects against trying to make the source multiple times.
* A new OP_MARK flag is introduced to suppress duplicates while expanding
the .ALLSRC variable and .USE targets.
This turns the O(n^2) insertion into O(n) in most cases.
This is tested with a `make build' and some special test cases.
Build a list of `cohorts' as before, but do *not* link each one into all the
parent nodes; instead, copy the `cohort' lists into the stream of targets to
be built inside Make_ExpandUse(). Also do the attribute propagation as a
separate pass after parsing.
This eliminates several O(n^2) algorithms.
passing in the LstNode of the child being inspected. Shaves off another few %,
particularly when there are long child lists containing $ expansions (e.g. in
libc).
the previous garbage bytes may be read.
Example: "make n" --- target = n, suffix = .ln
Changing interface of SuffSuffIsSuffix() is required to fix this bug.
Make used to only use the search path for nodes that were pure
sources (not targets of other sources). This has been corrected
and now gnu-autoconf generated Makefiles work in directories other
than the source one.
- Suffix transformation rescanning:
Suffix transformations (.c.o:; cc ...) were only recognized in
the past when both suffixes were members of the suffix list.
Thus a sequence like:
.z.b:
echo ${.TARGET}
.SUFFIXES: .z
would cause .z.b: to be inserted as a regular target (and the main
target in this case). Other make programs always add rules that
start with a period in the transformation list and never consider
them as targets. We cannot do that (consider .depend files) so we
resort to scanning the list of the current targets every time a
suffix gets added, and we mutate existing targets that are now
valid transformation rules into transformation rules. If the
transformed target was also the main target, we set the main target
to be the next target in the targets list.
