* [SV 41983] Support omitting the text argument to $(file ...)Paul Smith2014-07-071-5/+6
| | | | | | | | Reported by Tim Murphy <tnmurphy@gmail.com> * function.c (func_file): Only write TEXT if it is not NULL. * NEWS, doc/make.texi: Document the new feature * tests/scripts/functions/file: Verify that the no-text version of $(file ...) works and doesn't add a newline.
* Add support for updating the GNU make web pages.Paul Smith2013-10-131-0/+2
| | | | | Add makefile rules for updating the http://www.gnu.org/software/make web pages, including the online GNU make manual.
* Convert to auto-generated ChangeLog files.Paul Smith2013-10-131-11/+0
| | | | | | | | 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.
* Sanitize the registered function interface.Paul Smith2013-10-051-10/+32
| | | | | | 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.
* Reset GNUMAKEFLAGS after parsing.Paul Smith2013-09-291-4/+11
| | | | | If we don't do this we'll continually add flags on recursion. This is mainly for users to set in their environment before invoking make.
* Allow loaded objects to opt out of the "auto-rebuild" feature.Paul Smith2013-09-221-2/+5
|
* [SV 31326] Enhance the info on static pattern errors.Paul Smith2013-09-151-6/+9
|
* [SV 35248] Add --debug "n" flag to turn off current debug options.Paul Smith2013-09-141-0/+4
|
* Enhance the output sync mode.Paul Smith2013-09-121-36/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Update copyright for changes in 2013.Paul Smith2013-05-171-1/+1

* Add requirement for plugin_is_GPL_compatible symbol in loaded objects.Paul Smith2013-05-141-0/+20
|
* Add a new variable: GNUMAKEFLAGSPaul Smith2013-05-131-0/+20
| | | | | | | 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.
* Add new --trace[=MODE] flags, with --trace=dirPaul Smith2013-05-131-7/+12
| | | | | | This mode replaces the previous heuristic setting enabled with -O, where we would log directory enter/leave for each synchronized output. Now we only do that if --trace=dir is given.
* doc/make.texi (Loaded Object Example): Add a note about buildingEli Zaretskii2013-05-061-0/+14
| | | | shared objects on MS-Windows.
* docs: port manual to Texinfo 5.xStefano Lattarini2013-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | * doc/make.texi: Here. It was sufficient to change an '@itemx' into an '@item'. Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
* Rename the -O "job" mode to "line" and "make" to "recurse".Paul Smith2013-05-051-35/+52
|
* Add memory allocation cleanup to loadable objects.Paul Smith2013-05-041-7/+114
| | | | | Add gmk_alloc() and gmk_free() functions so loadable objects can access our memory model. Also provide a more extensive example in the manual.
* Fix a typo in the manual.Eli Zaretskii2013-05-041-1/+1
|
* Add support for per-job output sync.Paul Smith2013-04-281-51/+126
| | | | | | | | | A new flag to the -O/--output-sync, "job", selects a per-job (that is, per line of a recipe) output synchronization. To support this move the close of the temp file out of the sync_output() function and don't do it until we free the child, since we may call sync_output() multiple times in a given recipe. When we set up for a new temp file, if we're in per-job mode we truncate the file and seek to the beginning to re-use it for every job.
* Change the arg option for -O from numeric to string.Paul Smith2013-04-151-15/+17
|
* Rename the "parallel-sync" option to "output-sync".Paul Smith2013-04-141-16/+20
|
* Initial patch for output synchronization. See Savannah bug #33138.Frank Heckenbach2013-04-141-3/+24
| | | | Based on work by David Boyce <David.S.Boyce@gmail.com>.
* Clarify LDFLAGS vs. LDLIBS. Fixes Savannah bug #37970.Paul Smith2013-04-061-2/+4
|
* Expand the loadable object support.Paul Smith2013-02-251-19/+129
| | | | | | | Provide a simple API for loaded objects to interact with GNU make. I still won't guarantee that this API won't change but it's much closer to something that's supported and provides easy-to-use interfaces with a public header file.
* Allow dynamically loaded objects to be rebuilt by make.Paul Smith2013-01-201-20/+57
|
* Modify .gitignore for proper formatting.Paul Smith2013-01-121-6/+18
|
* Rename CVS ignore files to .gitignorePaul Smith2013-01-121-0/+0
|
* Implement new "load" directive.Paul Smith2012-10-291-216/+377
| | | | | Provides support for dynamically loadable objects in GNU make, as a "technology preview".
* Simplify copyrights using ranges of years.Paul Smith2012-03-051-2/+1
| | | | | The new GNU Maintainer's Manual allows the use of year ranges in certain situations; take advantage of this simplification.
* Modify backslash/newline handling for POSIX.Paul Smith2012-03-031-24/+69
| | | | | | | | | | We fixed Savannah 16670 but that broke previously-working makefiles that relied on the GNU make behavior. The POSIX behavior doesn't seem to me to be better, and can be obtained using GNU make as well, so put it back as the default behavior and require .POSIX to get the POSIX behavior. Add a new section to the manual discussing backslash/newline handling. Update the test suite.
* Add support for "::=" simple assignment operator.Paul Smith2012-01-301-31/+46
| | | | | The next POSIX standard will define "::=" to have the same behavior as GNU make's ":=", so add support for this new operator.
* Create a new function $(file ...)Paul Smith2012-01-291-2/+66
|
* Disallow whitespace in variable names.Paul Smith2012-01-161-9/+11

* Update copyright notices.Paul Smith2012-01-162-2/+2
|
* Add GNU Guile as an optional embedded scripting language for make.Paul Smith2012-01-151-117/+339
| | | | | | | | | On configure-enabled systems, configure will detect Guile installed (using pkg-config, which is how GNU Guile is distributed) and enable it if so. On all non-configure-enabled systems, currently, the default is for Guile support to be disabled.
* Ensure variables defined in $(call ...) have global scopePaul Smith2011-09-121-1/+3
| | | | | Add a note about using #!/usr/bin/make -f to the manual. Clean up the w32 subdirectory in the dist tarball.
