This revealed another long standing problem with pmake's port to bsd.
.MAKE was not set as the manual page states. Set it and remove another
typo in my last commit.
Unfortunately this revealed a deeper problem with the brk_string code.
To fix it:
- remove sharing of the buffer between brk_string invocations
- change the semantics of brk_string so that the argument array
starts with 0, and return the buffer where the strings are
stored
Actually there were two bugs:
- Add REG_NOTBOL after the first substitution.
- Handle the rm_so == rm_eo == 0 case, where in a substitution such
as 's/bzzzt/z*/g' the first time z* matches nothing.
directory specified, and add it to sysIncPath only if it exists.
However, afterwards make tested for the presence of a -m option by
checking to see if sysIncPath was an empty list, and assumed that
the -m option was not used if it was empty. This obviously breaks
if -m specified a non-existent directory. So I have added a flag
that is set if the -m option is used, and I test that instead.
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.
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.
1. ${.*} variables did not get expanded in dependencies.
2. expanded ${.*} variables in .USE dependencies can cause tree
restructuring; handle it.
3. in compat mode, expand .USE before evaluating the list of targets,
instead of doing .USE expansions on demand, because they can cause
tree restructuring.
- 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]
referenced only by their basename and not by their full pathname. This
breaks when .PATH or MAKEOBJDIR are used. There might be Makefiles around
that try to work around this bug by prepending ${.CURDIR} to the sources,
and they should be found and fixed. Also a lot of the gunk in suff.c that
was attempting to work around the same problem could be removed.
