When we check dependencies and a previously-is_generated dependency
existed before, but no longer does, forget that it was is_generated.
This slightly improves the situation where as a project evolves, a file
that used to be a target gets removed, and then later is re-added as a
static source file. (It doesn't fix the other variant, where a file is
changed from target to source in a single atomic change, and is never
missing. That one will be trickier to handle.)
While adding a test for this behaviour, I discovered that redo-sources,
redo-targets, and redo-ood were reporting their output relative to
STARTDIR instead of relative to $PWD, so fix that too.
If we tried to build target a/b/c/d and a/b/c didn't exist yet, we
would correctly name the temp file something like a__b/c__d.tmp. But
if a/b didn't exist yet, we named the temp file a/b__c/d.tmp, which
didn't work. Instead, name it a/b__c__d.tmp as expected.
The reason we'd crash is that we tried to pre-create a file called
$target.redo.tmp, which wouldn't work because the directory containing
$target didn't exist.
We now try to generate a smarter filename by using the innermost directory
of target that *does* exist. It's a little messy, but the idea is to make
sure we won't have to rename() across a filesystem boundary if, for example,
there's a mounted filesystem in the middle of the hierarchy somewhere.
We have to go through some pretty scary gyrations to extract this
information from git, but it can be done. This works with both tarballs
generated by 'git archive', or with your local git repo.
(Requested by 'David' on the mailing list.)
If all.do runs and creates no output, we shouldn't create a file called
'all', but we should remember that 'all' has been run successfully. We do
this by creating 'all.did' during the build.
Since minimal/do always just wipes everything out every time it runs, we can
safely remove the .did files after minimal/do terminates, so this doesn't
clutter things too much in normal use.
This fixes some edge cases, particularly that 'minimal/do clean' no longer
leaves stupid files named "clean" lying around, and the redo-sh directory
can now be rebuilt correctly since we rebuild it as long as redo-sh.did
doesn't exist. (We don't want to "rm -rf redo-sh" because it makes me
nervous.)
This includes a fairly detailed test of various known shell bugs from the
autoconf docs.
The idea here is that if redo works on your system, you should be able to
rely on a *good* shell to run your .do files; you shouldn't have to work
around zillions of bugs like autoconf does.
...only when running under minimal/do, of course.
The tests in question mostly fail because they're testing particular
dependency-related behaviour, and minimal/do doesn't support dependencies,
so naturally it doesn't work.
Now t/curse passes again when parallelized (except for the countall
mismatch, since we haven't fixed the source of that problem yet). At least
it's consistent now.
There's a bunch of stuff rearranged in here, but the actual important
problem was that we were doing unlink() on the lock fifo even if ENXIO,
which meant a reader could connect in between ENXIO and unlink(), and thus
never get notified of the disconnection. This would cause the build to
randomly freeze.
This could be good for distributing with your packages, so that people who
don't have redo installed can at least build it. Also, we could use it for
building redo itself.
Will surely need to get slightly bigger as I inevitably discover I've
forgotten a critical feature.
So if we're in redo/t/ and running 'redo hello', we'll detect redo/.redo and
use that one rather than creating a new redo/t/.redo directory.
The downside of this is we get slightly different behaviour if the *first*
thing you build isn't from the root. Probably that's bad, but it should
hopefully be rare.
'./redo -d test' reveals that we check and re-check things like CC and LD
even when they're children of objects that don't need to be rebuilt, and who
we've already checked earlier in the build cycle. We need to be a little
smarter about pruning if we want dependency checking to be fast.
And move test scripts into t/ subdir to keep things clean.
As part of that, make sure redo adds itself to the PATH on startup so that
subscripts can find it.
