Well, it should say 'make core-dumps on any error on the primary makefile'.
This was a result of the new changes to print the path to the parsed
Makefile... Made the code a lot more conservative, plus prepended <progname>:
to each message.
way to get gettimeofday(), etc. On some systems on which you might want
to host make (e.g. solaris), <time.h> won't get you a struct timeval
definition.
Add -N flag to *really* not execute any commands (useful when using
the -d flags to debug usr/src/Makefile)
Document -N
Update documentation of -n to mention that it still executes commands
for targets marked .MAKE so that the -N/-n distinction is clear.
use -j; all make's in a recursive build cooperate to limit the total
number of jobs, using a token-passing scheme.
The current token passing algorithm is similar to the one implemented
by gmake; there is a single pipe which is inherited through the entire
process hierarchy; tokens are obtained by reading a byte from the
"read end" of the pipe, and are returned by writing them to the "write
end". This exact algorithm is likely to change in the future.
Implementation details:
- Use the new trace facility to allow measurement of the
effectiveness of different token-passing schemes
- Get a token in MakeStartJobs(), return it in Make_Update()
- Eliminate Job_Full() and the jobFull global since they are
redundant with token system.
- Add an "internal" -J option (to pass the token pipe fd's down to
submakes) and a -T option for tracing.
- Change how compatMake is forced so that -j means something when
inherited by submakes.
- When waiting for a token, poll the token-passing pipe as well as
the output pipes of existing jobs.
poll() for parallel make:
- Make the poll() code behave more like the select() code: sleep for
a bit waiting for output rather than busy-wait (eww).
- Install a no-op SIGCHLD handler so that poll/select wake up early
(with -1/EINTR) when a child exits.
- Change the default sleep time from 500ms to 5 seconds since we now
wake up promptly when a child exits.
try to open tfile many times, passing bad strings to mkstemp
2. remove extra semicolon after the MESSAGE macro
3. more error checking
4. be more careful about setting things to NULL after freeing.
5. fix a comment that does not apply anymore
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.
To avoid that, we now do ::[+?!]*= but the SysV = modifier can
conflict with any new modifier. At there are currently no Makefiles
in our tree that use ${FOO::=bar}
problems such as using modifiers on .for loop iterators derived from
local variables (eg .TARGET).
Unless the variable already exists in a global context, these assignments are
local to the current context (this is usually what is wanted).
is an empty list, use DEFSYSPATH.
The current behaviour may have been useful when DEFSYSMK was an
absolute path (hasn't been the case since 1996), but right now
make -m /no/such/dir will fail to find sys.mk and die.
These allow some very useful magic in the makefiles.
The comment in var.c describing their behaviour is mostly lifted
from ODE make, but the implementation of the modifiers themselves
is quite different (much simpler) due to divergence of our code base.
Firstly, we ignore getenv("PWD") if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is set so that we always
get the same value for .CURDIR regardless of how make was invoked.
Second, when executing a command we check if it is ${.MAKE} or ${.MAKE:T}
without a preceeding chdir, if so we insert a chdir(${.CURDIR}) so that
the Makefile will be found by the child make. Note that this behaviour is
dissabled if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not set or if NOCHECKMAKECHDIR is set.
See the comments in main.c for more detail.
With these two changes, one can successfully build usr/src using MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
allowing the src to be mounted from a CD-ROM.
someone wants to do freaky stuff with $MAKEOBJDIR.
Initialize the Var system and set .CURDIR, MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH
before chdir_verify_path() is called.
list of target nodes returned by Make_ExpandUse(). We have to search the
cohorts explicitly while iterating through the tree. So, tweak CompatMake()
to do this.
can (i.e., everything except environment variables, which aren't
stored in hash tables).
While we're here, inline the body of VarDelete into Var_Delete since
it's the only caller and it's just simpler that way when v->name can
share storage with the hash entry and may not need to be freed
separately.
Speeds up the infamous libc build benchhmark maybe 1% on PIII, 4% on

Suggested by Perry Metzger.
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

This will be used to fixup the build system to work with both crypto-us

Make(1) changes by Christos Zoulas, after much badgering by me :-)
parents would be get remade, even if children were not really updated
by the commands executed for them. It also makes all the children have
the real modification time set if possible, so it should fix some other
timing weirdnesses...
- collapse childMade and make fields into flags and convert them to bits
CHILDMADE and REMAKE
- introduce FORCE flag that gets set in all the parents of a child that
has no sources and does not exist.
- set oodate if the FORCE flag is set, and not if CHILDMADE
- centralize the RECHECK into Make_Recheck() and use this in make.c and compat.c
- use Make_TimeStamp for all child -> parent timestamp propagations
a union mount.
eg.
src: FORCE
FORCE is a fake target that does not have sources. When FORCE is
considered made it gets updated with the current timestamp. If the
directory happens to have the same timestamp too, then it will not
be made because it is considered to be up-to-date with respect to
the child. This can happen because the time resolution is only in
seconds. It is more likely to happen on a union filesystem where
the timestamps take longer to update.
The fix is to consider the parent unmade when children have been
updated.
the previous garbage bytes may be read.
Example: "make n" --- target = n, suffix = .ln
Changing interface of SuffSuffIsSuffix() is required to fix this bug.
