string into the strcache. As a side-effect, many more structure members and
function arguments can/should be declared const.
As mentioned in the changelog, unfortunately measurement shows that this
change does not yet reduce memory. The problem is with secondary expansion:
because of this we store all the prerequisites in the string cache twice.
First we store the prerequisite string after initial expansion but before
secondary expansion, then we store each individual file after secondary
expansion and expand_deps(). I plan to change expand_deps() to be callable
in either context (eval or snap_deps) then have non-second-expansion
targets call expand_deps() during eval, so that we only need to store that
dependency list once.
A few changes from char* to void* where appropriate, and removing of
unnecessary casts.
Much more work on const-ifying the codebase. This round involves some code
changes to make it correct. NOTE!! There will almost certainly be problems
on the non-POSIX ports that will need to be addressed after the const changes
are finished: they will need to be const-ified properly and there may need to
be some changes to allocate memory, etc. as well.
The next (last?) big push for this, still to come, is const-ifying the
filenames in struct file, struct dep, etc. This will allow us to store file
names in the string cache and finally resolve Savannah bug #15182 (make uses
too much memory), among other advantages.
- Add more warnings.
- Rename variables that mask out-scope vars with the same name.
- Remove all casts of return values from xmalloc, xrealloc, and alloca.
- Remove casts of the first argument to xrealloc.
- Convert all bcopy/bzero/bcmp invocations to use memcp/memmove/memset/memcmp.
* New function: $(info ...)
* Disallow $(eval ...) to create prereq relationships inside command scripts
(caused core dumps)
* Try to allow more tests to succeed in Windows/DOS by sanitizing CRLF and \
* Various bug fixes and code cleanups (see the ChangeLog entry)
Fix references to MINGW #define constants.
Remove WINDOWS32 ifdef from sub_proc.h.
Only add variables to the command line for recursion once.
New features in run_make_test: #PWD# and #MAKEPATH# replacements.
Test the multi-variable fix in the recursion regression test.
This commits a number of changes from Earnie Boyd that allows GNU make
to build for MINGW32 systems. Only missing from this commit are the
changes to configure.in etc.; I'm waiting for Earnie to sign papers for
those new files.
Also not here is any README.mingw32 etc. which would explain how to use
this port.
Implement a fix for bug # 2169: too many OSs, even major OSs like Solaris,
don't properly implement SA_RESTART: important system calls like stat() can
still fail when SA_RESTART is set. So, forget the BROKEN_RESTART config
check and get rid of atomic_stat() and atomic_readdir(), and implement
permanent wrappers for EINTR checking on various system calls (stat(),
fstat(), opendir(), and readdir() so far).
enable the automake ansi2knr capability.
Right now this doesn't quite build using a K&R compiler because of a
problem with the loadavg test program, but the rest of the code works. I'm
asking the automake list about this problem.
Invent a new macro HAVE_DOS_PATHS and change various instances of:
#if defined(WINDOWS) || defined(__MSDOS__)
to use the new macro instead. This should help make the OS/2 port
cleaner, as well.
Invent a cvs-clean maintainer target that tries to get the workspace
back to the state it was in after a CVS checkout.
New language.
GNU make. Also he provides some other performance fixups after doing
some profiling of make on large makefiles.
Modify the test suite to allow the use of Valgrind to find memory problems.
* Fix += target-specific variables: if your direct parent doesn't have a
setting for the variable but his parent does, you'll get recursive
expansion errors.
* Update maintainers build process; remove GNUmakefile. Require builders to
run automake && autoreconf by hand.
* Use AC_SUBST_FILE to get the maintMakefile included, rather than GNU
make's include directive, which conflicts with automake 1.4's include
directive.
From Robert Hoehne <robert.hoehne@Mathematik.TU-Chemnitz.DE>:
* dir.c [__MSDOS__] [DJGPP > 1]: Include <libc/dosio.h> and defin
`__opendir_flags' initialized to 0.
[__MSDOS__] (dosify) [DJGPP > 1]: Return name unchanged if _USE_LFN.
(find_directory) [__MSDOS__ && DJGPP > 1]: If _USE_LGN, set
__opendir_flags to __OPENDIR_PRESERVE_CASE.
