- new dir.c function: Dir_FindHereOrAbove:
Search for a path in the current directory and then all the directories
above it in turn until the path is found or we reach the root ("/").
- add hooks to use it in main.c for -m and syspath (compiled in
_PATH_DEFSYSPATH and $MAKESYSPATH).
- updated man page
Improve description of variable modifiers.
In the variable list, be more specific referring to "environment variables"
rather than just relying upon the formatting difference between .Ev and .Va.
In the "modifier description" list, show each modifier with the leading `:'.
Rationale: it's hard to search for modifiers without it, and we already do
the same thing in the -options and .makecommands lists. I now find it much
easier to find the description for a modifier in the man page.
Also :tW and a W flag to :C and :S to allow treating value as a single word.
Add unit tests for the above, and fix some corner cases.
Based on patches supplied by Alan Barrett <apb@cequrux.com>
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.
* There is no -indent option to .Bd or .Bl, although you would
never know that from its frequent use in this tree. There is a
"-offset indent" combination that makes sense, and you can certainly
say "-width indent".
* Also, you can't markup the -width option argument, tho you CAN
use a callable macro. So "-width Ar filename" doesn't make sense,
but either "-width Ar" or "-width filename" does, as might something
like "-width xxfilename" for a little extra space.
* There are a lot of needlessly complex hanging tag macros in man4 used
to create simple item lists. Those should be simplified one of these
days before someone copies and edits yet another man4 page.
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.
