This patch allows "grouped targets" using the &: syntax:
tgt1 tgt2 ... tgtn &: pre1 pre2 ...
recipe
When the &: separator is used (in single or double colon forms), all
the targets are understood to be built by a single invocation of the
recipe. This is accomplished by piggy-backing on the already-existing
pattern rule feature, using the file's "also_make" list.
* NEWS: Add information about grouped targets.
* doc/make.texi (Multiple Targets): Add information on grouped targets.
(Pattern Intro): Refer to the new section to discuss multiple patterns.
* src/main.c (main): Add "grouped-targets" to .FEATURES
* src/read.c (make_word_type): Add new types for &: and &::.
(eval): Recognize the &: and &:: separator and remember when used.
(record_files): Accept an indicator of whether the rule is grouped.
If so, update also_make for each file to depend on the other files.
(get_next_mword): Recognize the &: and &:: word types.
* tests/scripts/features/grouped_targets: New test script.
* AUTHORS: Add Kaz Kylheku
Fixes an issue seen in the Linux kernel build system, reported by
Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>. Fix suggested
on the bug-make mailing list by Mike Shal <marfey@gmail.com>.
* tests/scripts/features/parallelism: Add a test to verify this.
* 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.
* test/scripts/features/patternrules: Test the behavior.
* src/function.c (func_shell_base): Use error() instead of recreating
the error output.
* src/job.c (exec_command): Show more standard error messages.
* src/load.c (unload_file): Fix whitespace in the error message.
* tests/scripts/features/errors: Add tests for starting non-
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.
* src/vmsjobs.c: Check for children that never started.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Parse config.status to get all options.
* tests/scripts/features/jobserver: Windows doesn't use pipes
* tests/scripts/functions/shell: Don't test kill -2 on Windows
* tests/scripts/misc/bs-nl: Windows doesn't handle single quotes
* tests/scripts/misc/general3: Ditto.
Move the source code (other than glob) into the "src" subdirectory.
Update all scripting and recommendations to support this change.
* *.c, *.h, w32/*: Move to src/
* configure.ac, Makefile.am, maintMakefile: Locate new source files.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*: Update for new source file locations.
* NEWS, README.DOS.template: Update for new locations.
* build.template, build_w32.bat, builddos.bat: Ditto.
* po/POTFILES.in: Ditto
* tests/run_make_tests.pl, tests/scripts/features/load*: Ditto.
* make.1: Move to doc.

* SCOPTIONS: Update to define HAVE_CONFIG_H
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.
* README.Amiga, README.DOS.template, README.W32.template: Updated.
* INSTALL: Point readers at the README.git file.
* maintMakefile: Remove obsolete files. Create Basic.mk file.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*.mk: Create basic GNU make-based makefiles.
* build_w32.bat: Copy Basic.mk to Makefile
* configure.ac: We no longer need AM_PROG_AR.
* dosbuild.bat: Rename to builddos.bat. Incorporate configure.bat.
* Makefile.DOS.template: Remove.
* NMakefile.template, w32/subproc/NMakefile: Remove.
* SMakefile.template, glob/SMakefile, glob/SCOPTIONS, make.lnk: Remove.
* configure.bat, glob/configure.bat: Remove.
* w32/Makefile.am: Remove.
* make_msvc_net2003.sln, make_msvc_net2003.vcproj: Remove.
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).
* configure.ac: Check endianness.
* hash.c (rol32, jhash_mix, jhash_final, JHASH_INITVAL,
sum_get_unaligned_32, jhash): New.
* hash.h (STRING_HASH_1, STRING_N_HASH_1): Use jhash.
(STRING_HASH_2, STRING_N_HASH_2): Return a dummy value.
(STRING_N_COMPARE, return_STRING_N_COMPARE): Prefer memcmp to strncmp.
* variable.h (enum variable_flavor: Add a new flavor for appended
values that shouldn't be expanded.
* variable.c (do_variable_definition): If given this new flavor,
do not expand the value before appending it.
* read.c (eval_makefile): Use this new flavor for MAKEFILE_LIST
* tests/scripts/variables/MFILE_LIST: Test filenames containing '$'.
* doc/make.texi (Appending): Document this behavior.
* variable.c (do_variable_definition): Only add a space if the variable
value is not empty.
* tests/scripts/variables/flavors: Test this behavior.

* makeint.h: 'program' is a const string on all platforms now.
* tests/run_make_tests.bat: Windows bat file to invoke tests
* tests/test_driver.pl: Obtain system-specific error messages.
(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/archives: Skip on Windows.
* tests/scripts/features/escape: Use list method for passing options.
* tests/scripts/features/include: Use system-specific error messages.

generate very different / odd output on Windows. This needs to be
addressed but for now disable these tests on Windows.
* tests/scripts/functions/abspath: Disable on Windows.
* tests/scripts/functions/file: Use system-specific error messages.
* tests/scripts/functions/shell: "Command not found" errors generate
very different / odd output on Windows. This needs to be addressed
but for now disable these tests on Windows.

* make.1: Document the -E and --eval options.
* doc/make.texi: Document the -E option.
* tests/scripts/options/eval: Test the -E option and MAKEFILES.
* NEWS: Add information about the new option.

.SILENT special target is deprecated or should not be used.
* tests/scripts/options/dash-s: Test the -s and --no-silent options.
* NEWS: Add information about the new option.
* read.c (eval_makefile): Set deps->error if we discovered any
error reading makefiles, and set NONEXISTENT_MTIME so we know
it needs to be rebuilt.

* tests/scripts/functions/guile: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/functions/shell: Ditto.
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.
(update_file_1): Reset CONSIDERED to 0 so it's re-considered.
(check_dep): Ditto.
* tests/scripts/features/double_colon: Add a regression test.
* remake.c (update_file): Don't update double-colon target status
if we're still building targets.
(ftime_t): Don't propagate timestamps for double-colon targets that
we've not examined yet.

Delay the generation of error messages for included files until we
are sure that we can't rebuild that included file.
* dep.h (struct dep): Don't reuse "changed"; make a separate field
to keep "flags". Get rid of dontcare and use the flag.

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().
* makeint.h: Change MAP_SPACE to MAP_NEWLINE, and add MAP_PATHSEP
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.
* Examine all uses of isblank() (doesn't accept newlines) and
change them wherever possible to ISSPACE() (does accept newlines).
* function.c (func_foreach): Strip leading/trailing space.
* variable.c (parse_variable_definition): Clean up.
* tests/scripts/functions/foreach: Test settings and errors.

* tests/scripts/functions/file: Test new features for $(file ...)
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.
