Logging of implicit rule search gives limited information as to why a
given implicit rule was rejected, and if no implicit rule is found we
get the confusing "No rule to make target" result when the real issue
is that some prerequisite of some implicit rule could not be built.
Enhance logging around implicit rule search as follows:
1. The messages which refer to a rule print a description (the targets
and prerequisites) of the rule.
2. A new message tells when a rule is rejected, along with the reason.
3. The 'Looking for an implicit rule...' message is printed for every
prerequisite, not just the top-level target.
4. "Trying harder" message is printed, when intermediate prerequisites
are going to be searched.
5. The 'No rule found...' and 'Found implicit rule...' messages are
printed for every prerequisite, not just the top-level target.
6. "Ought to exist...", "Found..." or "Not found..." message is
printed for each prerequisite.
* src/rule.h (struct rule): Remember the definition of the rule.
* src/rule.c (get_rule_defn): Compute the definition of a rule.
(install_pattern_rule): Initialize the definition to empty.
(create_pattern_rule): Ditto.
(freerule): Free the definition.
(print_rule): Use the definition when printing rules.
* src/remake.c (update_file_1): Push debug output down into
try_implicit_rule().
* src/implicit.c (try_implicit_rule): Add debugging
(pattern_search): Show the rule definition in various debug output.
Add new debug messages for implicit rule search.
Additional changes by Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>:
Since we usually don't need the rule definition, defer computing it
until we do.
* bootstrap.conf: Include the mempcpy Gnulib module.
* src/makeint.h (mempcpy): Declare mempcpy if not available.
* src/misc.c (mempcpy): Define mempcpy if not available.
* src/config.h-vms.template: Don't set HAVE_MEMPCPY.
* src/config.h.W32.template: Ditto.
* src/rule.h (get_rule_defn): Return the definition of a rule.
* src/rule.c (get_rule_defn): If we don't have a definition compute
it; either way return it.
* src/implicit.c (pattern_search): Rework the handling of explicit
prerequisites to pattern rules to be more clear. There is no change
in behavior.
POSIX says that suffix rules cannot have prerequisites, but after
making this change we observed a number of makefiles "in the wild"
that were relying on this behavior and failed.
For .POSIX: makefiles, obey POSIX. Otherwise preserve the old
behavior. However, generate a warning so users know this is a
problem. In a future version we will change all behavior to be
POSIX-conforming.
* NEWS: describe the change
* src/rule.c (convert_to_pattern): If posix_pedantic don't make a
pattern rule if prereqs exist. Otherwise show a warning.
* tests/scripts/features/suffixrules: Add tests for the new behavior
including .POSIX vs. non-.POSIX.
* configure.ac: Try compiling Guile headers: they don't work with C90.
* maintMakefile: Simplify config checks via target-specific variables.
* src/makeint.h: Use ATTRIBUTE rather than defining __attribute__,
as that causes compile issues with system headers.
(ENUM_BITFIELD): Don't use enum bitfields in ANSI mode.
* src/main.c: Use ATTRIBUTE instead of __attribute__.
* src/job.h: Ditto.
* src/file.c: Don't define variables inside for loops.
* src/rule.c: Ditto.
* src/dep.h (SI): Only use static inline in non-ANSI mode.
Initial implementation by Christof Warlich <cwarlich@gmx.de>
* NEWS: Announce the new feature.
* doc/make.texi (Other Special Variables): Document .EXTRA_PREREQS.
* src/dep.h (struct dep): New flag to note extra prereq deps.
* src/filedef.h (expand_extra_prereqs): Declare a function to expand
the value of .EXTRA_PREREQS.
* src/file.c (expand_extra_prereqs): Given a struct variable lookup
of .EXTRA_PREREQS, convert it into a list of deps and for each one
make sure it has a struct file and has the new flag set.
(snap_file): A new function invoked by hash_map that will perform
per-file operations: set up second expansion, intermediate, and also
.EXTRA_PREREQS. Manage circular dependencies by ignoring them.
(snap_deps): Defer per-file operations until the end. Look up the
global .EXTRA_PREREQS and pass it along to snap_file for each file.
* src/implicit.c (struct patdeps): Remember the extra prereqs flag.
(pattern_search): Transfer extra prereqs flag settings into the
matched pattern rule.
* src/rule.h (snap_implicit_rules): Rename count_implicit_rules to
snap_implicit_rules since we now do more than count.
* src/rule.c (snap_implicit_rules): As we walk through all the pattern
rules, add in any global .EXTRA_PREREQS to the dep list. Ensure we
take them into account for the max number of prereqs and name length.
* src/main.c (main): Add extra-prereqs to .FEATURES.
Call the renamed snap_implicit_rules.
* tests/scripts/variables/EXTRA_PREREQS: Add tests.
* 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.
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.
* mk/VMS.mk: Add support for building on VMS (hopefully).
* makefile.vms, prepare_w32.bat: Remove.
* SCOPTIONS: Update to define HAVE_CONFIG_H
