Fix make.h preprocessor directive to work better with Windows compilers. Fix some regression tests to (hopefully) work better on Windows.
* Added the test suite to the main distribution.
* Various fixes for problems in the 3.79.0.1 pretest.
- New code capability: a read-only string cache. Start of solution for Savannah bug #15182, but not much uses it yet. Coming shortly. - Added short-circuiting $(and ..) and $(or ...) functions.
Convert all "`'" quotes to "''" per new GNU Coding Standard guidelines. Fixes Savannah bug #34530.
Fix Savannah bug #106: keep separate track of which variable we are expanding, and use that info when generating error messages instead of the file info, where appropriate.
New special variable: .RECIPEPREFIX Allows the user to reset the prefix character for introducing recipe lines from the default (tab) to any other single character, and back again. Also, reworked the manual to consistently use the word "recipe" to describe the set of commands we use to update a target, instead of the various phrases used in the past: "commands", "command lines", "command scripts", etc.
Get error messages in the C locale for comparision with make output. Fixes Savannah bug #35764.
Fix Savannah bug #35410: handle escape chars in filter/filter-out Also add a valgrind suppression file for Guile-enabled make.
Implemented the flavor function which returns the flavor of a variable ('simple', 'recursive', or 'undefined').
Implement new "load" directive.
Fix bugs 5798 and 6195.
Numerous updates to tests for issues found on Cygwin and Windows. Revert a fix for $? including non-existent files as it shows a bug in the Linux kernel build. Give them a release to fix this. Add some changes from Eli Z. for Windows changes.
Release GNU make 3.81. Update NEWS docs. Enhance the manual to use automake version.texi, and use the canonical FSF copyright features and statement. Some $(realpath ...) tests won't work on Windows; leave them out The jobserver filedescriptor test might fail if some FDs are reserved, so for now comment out that check.
- Update manual description for pattern rule search algorithm - Add new "-all" flag to the test suite to run tests that don't pass yet - Add some non-passing tests - Fix from Andreas Buening for OS/2.
Use the same algorithm for counting the number of words to sort as we use to break up the list of words, so we're sure to get the same number. Fixes Savannah bug #33125
* Various bug fixes.
Fix some bugs in variable pattern substitution (e.g. $(VAR:A=B)), 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.
Major updates in preparation for 3.80. New version of the manual, put into the doc subdir. Enhancements: $(eval ...) and $(value ...) functions, various bug fixes, etc. See the ChangeLog. More to come.
Inverted the boolean test from what I wanted it to be. Added a regression test to make sure this continues to work.
