* tests/config-flags.pm.in: A new file containing variable assignments
for the test suite; these variables are set by configure to contain
the values detected there for compilers, flags, etc.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Require the config-flags.pm file
* tests/scripts/features/load, tests/scripts/features/loadapi: Use the
configure-provided values when building the shared test library.
* configure.ac: Replace tests/config-flags.pm.in
* Makefile.am: Make sure tests/config-flags.pm is up to date
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.
- Fix memory errors found by valgrind
- Remove multi_glob() and empower parse_file_seq() to do its job:
the goal here is to remove the confusing reverse/re-reverse we do on
the file lists: needed for future fixes.
- Add a prefix arg to parse_file_seq()
- Make concat() variadic so it can take arbitrary #'s of strings
- Fix Savannah bug #17752
- Test suite:
* When tests fail keep a "run" file containing the command invoked.
* Support for the Valgrind "memcheck" and "massif" tools.
Add a new feature to the test suite suggested by Icarus Sparry:
set a timer before invoking a test, so that if it loops infinitely we
will wake up and have a chance to kill the process and continue.
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.

Plus some from the mailing list.
Imported a patch from Eli to allow Cygwin builds to support DOS-style
pathnames.
I decided this feature was too impacting to make the permanent default
behavior. This set of changes makes the default behavior of make the
old behavior (no second expansion). If you want second expansion, you
must define the .SECONDEXPANSION: special target before the first target
that needs it.
This set of changes ONLY fixes explicit and static pattern rules to work
like this. Implicit rules still have second expansion enabled all the
time: I'll work on that next.
Note that there is still a backward-incompatibility: now to get the old
SysV behavior using $$@ etc. in the prerequisites list you need to set
.SECONDEXPANSION: as well.
* 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.
reported by Markus Mauhart <qwe123@chello.at>. One was a simple typo; to
fix the other we call patsubst_expand() for all instances of variable
substitution, even when there is no '%'. We used to call subst_expand()
with a special flag set in the latter case, but it didn't work properly
in all situations. Easier to just use patsubst_expand() since that's
what it is.
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.
