the first two directory entries are "." and "..".
This behaviour is not required by applicable standards, and
actually not provided by "coda".
Now we get the "." and ".." into the per-directiry hash tables,
but this should not hurt.
search list that will be used. Thus 'dot' and 'cur' will appear in
${.PATH} either at the start or end depending on .DOTLAST even though
they are not strictly in dirSearchPath.
When .CURDIR is assigned to - re-set the 'cur' Path.
Finally, when checking subdirs, look in 'dot' and 'cur' (first or last
depending on .DOTLAST) just as we do in other situations.
(see also PR#15179):
When looking up names which directory components (i.e. having slashes,
except when of the form `./name'), FindFile()/DirLookup() first looks
the final filename component in the cache for each directory on the search
path and then proceeds to match the prefixed directory components by
comparing them to the trailing directory components of the the search
path being probed.
This is not correct. When looking for `bar/target' in a path `.../src/foo',
you want it to come up with `.../src/foo/bar/target' (if it exists). There's
no point in comparing the the `bar' prefix on the target to the `foo' suffix
on the search path. Indeed, this will cause a false match if those prefix
and suffix components are actually equal and search path itself also has a
file called `target'. For example, looking for `foo/target' in `.../src/foo'
will spuriously match `.../src/foo/target', not `.../src/foo/foo/target'.
This last bug prompted the change in dir.c, rev 1.27, which happens
to partially workaround it by avoiding the above matching code in the
case of the `curdir' search path entry (at the cost of incurring an
exorbitant amount of cache misses). The situation is unchanged however,
when processing other entries on the search path (e.g. those other than
`dot' and `cur').
Drop the prefix matching code in DirLookup() entirely and use DirFindDot()
and DirLookup() only for names without proper directory components (i.e.
`target' and `./target). Otherwise, non-absolute names are dealt with by
DirLookupSubdir(), while absolute names can be checked for an exact match
of the directory components prefix against the directories on the current
search path. This allows for the use of the file cache to check the
existence of the file and additionally, provides a shortcut out of
Dir_FindFile() if we have the prefix match but not a cache entry (this
is especially beneficial for searches in .CURDIR when it's not equal
to `dot').
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.
file will strip any leading path on the filename when searching ${.CURDIR}.
This bug manifested itself more prominently with xsrc/xfree/xc/lib/GL/GL,
since we now always search ${.CURDIR} as an alternative to ${.OBJDIR}
(PR bin/14499).
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 :-)
I.e. if you had a line in your Makefile:
../foo.o: foo.c
`..' would be added in the search path. The addition of such paths has
been now disabled. If a pathname contains a slash, then the directory
where such a file is found is not added to the search path. Of course
this eliminates most (all?) use of this function.
- Fix globbing so that patterns that don't have a matching number of [] or {}
don't get expanded. (before the [ case got expanded to nothing!) This is
disabled.
arch.c: Don't require ranlib stuff. Not everybody has it.
dir.c: SunOS-4 != Solaris; change #ifdef sun to #if sun && !__svr4__
job.c, compat.c: Don't use 'union wait', use int and the W*() macros.
main.c: Check for uname() == -1; some unames return > 0...
util.c, job.c: Add signal() with BSD semantics for svr4, don't use bsd
sigmask and friends.
