Changes since 20181221 are mostly portability related
hence the large gap in versions imported.
There are however some bug fixes, and a rework of filemon handling.
In NetBSD make/filemon/filemon_ktrace.c allows use of fktrace
and elimination of filemon(4) which has not had the TLC it needs.
FreeBSD filemon(4) is in much better shape, so bmake/filemon/filemon_dev.c
allows use of that, with a bit less overhead than the ktrace model.
Summary of changes from ChangeLog
o str.c: empty string does not match % pattern
plus unit-test changes
o var.c: import handling of old sysV style modifier using '%'
o str.c: refactor brk_string
o meta.c: meta_oodate, CHECK_VALID_META is too aggressive for CMD
a blank command is perfectly valid.
o meta.c: meta_oodate, check for corrupted meta file
earlier and more often.
* meta.c: meta_compat_parent check for USE_FILEMON
patch from Soeren Tempel
o meta.c: fix compat mode, need to call meta_job_output()
o job.c: extra fds for meta mode not needed if using filemon_dev
o meta.c: avoid passing NULL to filemon_*() when meta_needed()
returns FALSE.
o filemon/filemon_{dev,ktrace}.c: allow selection of
filemon implementation. filemon_dev.c uses the kernel module
while filemon_ktrace.c leverages the fktrace api available in
NetBSD. filemon_ktrace.c can hopefully form the basis for
adding support for other tracing mechanisms such as strace on
Linux.
o meta.c: when target is out-of-date per normal make rules
record value of .OODATE in meta file.
o parse.c: don't pass NULL to realpath(3)
some versions cannot handle it.
o parse.c: ParseDoDependency: free paths rather than assert
plus more unit-tests
o parse.c: ParseVErrorInternal use .PARSEDIR
and apply if relative, and then use .PARSEFILE
for consistent result.
o var.c: avoid SEGFAULT in .unexport-env
when MAKELEVEL is not set
From ChangeLog
* VERSION: 20180222
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o parse.c: avoid calling sysconf for every call to loadfile
* VERSION: 20180218
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o var.c: Var_Set handle NULL value anytime.
* VERSION: 20180212
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o parse.c: do not treat .info as warning with -W
* VERSION: 20171207
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o var.c: Var_Append use Var_Set if var not previously set
so that VAR_CMD is handled correctly.
Add a suitable unit-test.
* VERSION: 20171126
* aclocal.m4: use AC_LINK_IFELSE for AC_C___ATTRIBUTE__
since AC_TRY_COMPILE puts input inside main()
which upsets modern compilers.
* VERSION: 20171118
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o var.c: do not append to variable set on command line
add unit-test to catch this.
Interesting items from ChangeLog:
o cached_realpath(): avoid hitting filesystem more than necessary.
o meta.c: refactor need_meta decision, add knobs for
missing meta file and filemon data wrt out-of-datedness.
o meta.c: missing filemon data is only relevant if we read a
meta file.
Also do not return oodate for a missing metafile if gn->path
points to .CURDIR
