The enum corresponding to this int parameter is only defined in var.c,
which makes it impractical for the outside to set this parameter to
anything but 0.
On x86_64, this reduces the size of the resulting executable by 5 kB.
Quite extensive rewrite of the Suff module. Some ripple effects into
Parse and Targ modules too.
Dependency searches in general were made to honor explicit rules so
implicit and explicit sources are no longer applied on targets that
do not invoke a transformation rule.
Archive member dependency search was rewritten. Explicit rules now
work properly and $(.TARGET) is set correctly. POSIX semantics for
lib(member.o) and .s1.a rules are supported.
.SUFFIXES list maintenance was rewritten so that scanning of existing
rules works when suffixes are added and that clearing the suffix list
removes single suffix rules too. Transformation rule nodes are now
mixed with regular nodes so they are available as regular targets too
if needed (especially after the known suffixes are cleared).
The .NULL target was documented in the manual page, especially to
warn against using it when a single suffix rule would work.
A deprecation warning was also added to the manual and make also
warns the user if it encounters .NULL.
Search for suffix rules no longer allows the explicit dependencies
to override the selected transformation rule. A check is made in
the search that the transformation that would be tried does not
already exist in the chain. This prevents getting stuck in an infinite
loop under specific circumstances. Local variables are now set
before node's children are expanded so dynamic sources work in
multi-stage transformations. Make_HandleUse() no longer expands
the added children for transformation nodes, preventing triple
expansion and allowing the Suff module to properly postpone their
expansion until proper values are set for the local variables.
Directory prefix is no longer removed from $(.PREFIX) if the target
is found via directory search.
The last rule defined is now used instead of the first one (POSIX
requirement) in case a rule is defined multiple times. Everything
defined in the first instance is undone, but things added "globally"
are honored. To implement this, each node tracks attribute bits
which have been set by special targets (global) instead of special
sources (local). They also track dependencies that were added by
a rule with commands (local) instead of rule with no commands (global).
New attribute, OP_FROM_SYS_MK is introduced. It is set on all targets
found in system makefiles so that they are not eligible to become
the main target. We cannot just set OP_NOTMAIN because it is one of
the attributes inherited from transformation and .USE rules and would
make any eligible target that uses a built-in inference rule ineligible.
The $(.IMPSRC) local variable now works like in gmake: it is set to
the first prerequisite for explicit rules. For implicit rules it
is still the implied source.
The manual page is improved regarding the fixed features. Test cases
for the fixed problems are added.
Other improvements in the Suff module include:
- better debug messages for transformation rule search (length of
the chain is now visualized by indentation)
- Suff structures are created, destroyed and moved around by a set
of maintenance functions so their reference counts are easier
to track (this also gets rid of a lot of code duplication)
- some unreasonably long functions were split into smaller ones
- many local variables had their names changed to describe their
purpose instead of their type
bmake_malloc and friends. Implement them via macros for the native case
and provide fallback implementations otherwise. Avoid polluting the
namespace by not defining enomem globally. Don't bother to provide
strdup and strndup, they were only used for the estrdup and estrndup
comapt code.
This addresses the presence of emalloc in system libraries on A/UX and
resulted strange issues as reported by Timothy E. Larson.
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
