* NEWS: Update with a backward-compatibility warning.
* src/rule.c (convert_to_pattern): If a suffix rule has dependencies,
do not create a pattern rule for it. According to the manual suffix
rules with prerequisites are treated as normal targets.
* tests/scrips/features/suffixrules: Create some regression tests for
.SUFFIXES and suffix rules.
If multiple pattern rules have the same pattern as also-make targets
and we attempt to run them at the same time, we might downgrade the
command state from 'running' to 'deps_running'; this will prevent
that also_make from being considered complete causing make to wait
forever for it to finish.
Ensure that set_command_state never downgrades the state of a target.
* src/file.c (set_command_state): Don't downgrade command_state.
* src/filedef.h (struct file): Document the order prerequisite.

existent commands and new error message formats.
* tests/scripts/features/output-sync: New error message formats.
* tests/scripts/functions/shell: Ditto.
If we failed to fork() we were essentially exiting make immediately
without respect to ignore flags, etc. On one hand that makes sense
because if you can't fork you're in real trouble, but it doesn't
work so well on systems where we don't fork at all. Instead, treat
a fork error like any other error by delaying the handling until
the next call to reap_children(). Any child with a PID of -1 is
considered to have died before starting so check these first without
waiting for them.
* src/commands.c (fatal_error_signal): Don't kill children that
never started.
* src/function.c (func_shell_base): Handle cleanup properly if the
child doesn't start.
* src/job.c (reap_children): Check for children that died before
starting and handle them without waiting for the PID.
(start_job_command): Free memory when the child doesn't start.
(start_waiting_job): Don't manage children who never started.
(child_execute_job): If the fork fails return PID -1.

Over time the non-standard build and install systems (nmake files,
smake files, Visual Studio project files, etc.) have atrophied and
maintaining them is not worth the effort, for such a simple utility
as make. Remove all the non-standard build tool support and unify
OS-specific build rules under a basic set of (GNU make) makefiles.
Preserve the existing bootstrapping scripts (for POSIX, Windows,
and MS-DOS). Also the existing VMS build scripts are left unchanged:
I don't have enough experience with VMS to venture into this area.
Perhaps one of the VMS maintainers might like to determine whether
conversion would be appropriate.
Rather than create libraries for w32 and glob (non-POSIX), simply
link the object files directly to remove the complexity.
* NEWS: Update with user-facing notes.
* Makefile.am: Clean up to use the latest automake best practices.
Build Windows code directly from the root makefile to avoid recursion.

This is about twice as fast as the current hash, and removes the
need for double hashing (improving locality of reference). The
hash function is based on Bob Jenkins' design, slightly adapted
wherever Make needs to hash NUL-terminated strings. The old hash
function is kept for case-insensitive hashing.
This saves 8.5% on QEMU's no-op build (from 12.87s to 11.78s).

(get_osname): Compute the $port_type here. Add more $osname checks
for different Windows Perl ports.
(_run_command): Rewrite the timeout capability to work properly
with Windows. Don't use Perl fork/exec; instead use system(1,...)
which allows a more reliable/proper kill operation.
Also, allow options to be given as a list instead of a string, to
allow more complex quoting of command-line arguments.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl (run_make_with_options): Allow options
to be provided as a list in addition to a simple string.
(set_more_defaults): Write sample makefiles and run make on them
instead of trying to run echo and invoking make with -f-, to avoid
relying on shell and echo to get basic configuration values. Also
create a $sh_name variable instead of hard-coding /bin/sh.

* tests/scripts/features/escape: Use list method for passing options.

The fix for SV 44742 had a side-effect that some double-colon targets
were skipped. This happens because the "considered" facility assumed
that all targets would be visited on each walk through the dependency
graph: we used a bit for considered and toggled it on each pass; if
we didn't walk the entire graph on every pass the bit would get out
of sync. The new behavior after SV 44742 might return early without
walking the entire graph. To fix this I changed the considered value
to an integer which is monotonically increasing: it is then never
possible to incorrectly determine that a previous pass through the
graph already considered the current target.
* filedef.h (struct file): make CONSIDERED an unsigned int.
* main.c (main): No longer need to reset CONSIDERED.
* remake.c (update_goal_chain): increment CONSIDERED rather than
inverting it between 0<->1.

Previously if the jobserver was active, MAKEFLAGS would contain only
the -j option but not the number (not -j5 or whatever) so users
could not discover that value. Allow that value to be provided in
MAKEFLAGS without error but still give warnings if -jN is provided
on the command line if the jobserver is already activated.
* NEWS: Discuss the new behavior.
* os.h, posixos.c, w32/w32os.c: Return success/failure from
jobserver_setup() and jobserver_parse_auth().
* main.c (main): Separate the command line storage of job slots (now
in arg_job_slots) from the control storage (in job_slots). Make a
distinction between -jN flags read from MAKEFLAGS and those seen
on the command line: for the latter if the jobserver is enabled then
warn and disable it, as before.
* tests/scripts/features/jobserver: Add new testing.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* main.c: Rename jobserver_fds variable to jobserver_auth and
--jobserver-fds option to --jobserver-auth.
* os.h, posixos.c, w32/w32os.c: Rename jobserver_parse_arg() and
jobserver_get_arg() to jobserver_parse_auth()/jobserver_get_auth().

and MAP_SPACE which is now MAP_BLANK|MAP_NEWLINE. Create
NEW_TOKEN(), END_OF_TOKEN(), ISBLANK(), ISSPACE() macros.
* main.c (initialize_stopchar_map): Set MAP_NEWLINE only for
newline characters.
* Convert all uses of isblank() and isspace() to macros.

For performance, we only recompute .VARIABLES when (a) it's expanded
and (b) when its value will change from a previous expansion. To
determine (b) we were checking the number of entries in the hash
table which used to work until we started undefining entries: now if
you undefine and redefine the same number of entries in between
expanding .VARIABLES, it doesn't detect any change. Instead, keep
an increasing change number.
* variables.c: Add variable_changenum.
(define_variable_in_set, merge_variable_sets): Increment
variable_changenum if adding a new variable to the global set.
(undefine_variable_in_set): Increment variable_changenum if
undefining a variable from the global set.
(lookup_special_var): Test variable_changenum not the hash table.
* tests/scripts/variables/special: Test undefining variables.
* main.c (main): Pre-define .LOADED as a default-level variable.
* load.c (load_file): Set the value rather than append it. Avoid
adding an extra initial whitespace.
* tests/scripts/features/load: Run with --warn-undefined-variables.
* job.h (struct child): New bit to mark recursive command lines.
* job.c (start_job_command): Set the recursive command line bit.
(reap_children): If the child is a recursive command and it exits
with 1 during question mode, don't print an error and exit with 1.
* tests/scripts/options/dash-q: Add a regression test.
Newer versions of binutils allow ar to be compiled to generate
"deterministic archives" by default: in this mode no timestamp
information is generated in the static archive, which utterly
breaks GNU make's archive updating capability. Debian and Ubuntu
have turned this feature on by default in their distributions
which causes the regression tests to fail.
Update the regression tests to check for the availability of the
"U" option to ar which disables deterministic archives and allows
GNU make's archive support to work properly again.
In order to fix SV 12267 we were marking the prerequisites of
implicit (pattern) targets that existed elsewhere in the makefile
as precious to keep them from being deleted as intermediate files.
However this also keeps them from being deleted on error. Instead
mark them as secondary.
* tests/scripts/targets/DELETE_ON_ERROR: Test DELETE_ON_ERROR.
Add a new variable .SHELLSTATUS which holds the exit status of the
last-invoked shell function or != assignment.
* NEWS, doc/make.texi: Document the change.

using a search list such as prj_root = lcl_root:,vms_root:,src_root:
for building and testing.

Rename existing ChangeLog files so they won't be distributed.
Add targets to maintMakefile to generate ChangeLog from the Git
repository. This will require a version of gnulib be available.
Because ChangeLog is auto-generated, we have to switch our
automake mode to "foreign" or it will complain and fail.
Expand the characters which are legal in a function name, and check
the name for validity. Create a type for the function pointer.
Convert the last argument from a boolean to flags, to allow for expansion.
Don't dup stdout into stderr in the test suite.
Don't rely on $port_type eq "UNIX" to mean case-preserving.
Check against the real output of ar when creating archives.
In this mode we still collect all the output from a given target and
dump it at once. However we don't treat recursive lines any differently
from non-recursive lines. Also we don't print enter/leave messages
after every dump. However we do ensure that we always print them once
to stdout, so the parent make will collect it properly.
Create a new file, output.c, and collect functions that generate output there.
We introduce a new global context specifying where output should go (to stdout
or to a sync file), and the lowest level output generator chooses where to
write output based on that context.
This allows us to set the context globally, and all operations that write
output (including functions like $(info ...) etc.) will use it.
Removed the "--trace=dir" capability. It was too confusing. If you have
directory tracking enabled then output sync will print the enter/leave message
for each synchronized block. If you don't want that, disable directory
tracking.
We tried to get some efficiency by avoiding a parse_file_seq() for simple
pattern prerequisites, but this also means no wildcard expansion was
happening, so add it back. Add regression tests for wildcards in target and
prerequisite lists.
This allows you to write portable makefiles that set GNU make-specific command
line options in the environment or makefile: add them to GNUMAKEFLAGS instead
of MAKEFLAGS and they will be seen by GNU make but ignored by other
implementations of make.
