Since we use ". filename.do" to run the .do files instead of just
"filename.do", shell local variables end up being inherited by the
subprogram. Change all the local variables to be all lowercase, to avoid
conflicting with any typical environment variables someone might use.
The particular variable that triggered this was PREFIX (reported by "ulrik"
on the mailing list) and that fixes this, at least.
Arguably we shouldn't be using ".", but using it avoids unnecessary forks,
which is kind of nice.
If you ". ./filename" and ./filename contains no commands, apparently
ash/dash will give the exit code of the command *before* the ., rather than
defaulting to zero as it supposedly should. This should work around it in
our .do files at least.
Reported by Tim Allen.
It should just build nothing. Because sometimes you want to do something
like:
redo-ifchange $(find -name '*.c')
And the find doesn't return any results. This is consistent with what real
redo does.
Added a test to confirm that it works.
It was working fine, but the style wasn't exactly the way I like it, because
I'm unnecessarily picky. :)
Also, removed the file extension since we should probably learn from the
fact that it's already been rewritten once from one language to another.
Who knows, maybe it will be again someday.
Turns out we don't need sed to process the output of gcc -MD. We can just
do this:
read DEPS <filename.deps
The 'read' command in sh actually handles backslashes correctly, so we don't
have to sed them out after all. And then a simple ${DEPS#*:} removes the
"target:" prefix from the dependency line, and we're done!
By default, the database redo uses to store file state returns filenames
as Unicode strings, and if redo tries to run a build-script whose
fully-qualified path contains non-ASCII characters then redo crashes
when trying to promote the path to a Unicode string.
This patch ensures that the database always returns byte-strings, not
Unicode strings. That way, the fully-qualified path and the target name
are both byte-strings and can be joined without issue.
(Fixes a bug reported by Zoran Zaric.)
Sometimes clean.do implementations want to delete our .do_built file and
directory. If that happens, deal with it quietly, as long as they don't
request any *additional* redo-type operations.
It seems 'set -e' doesn't quite work, in some shells, in that case.

If we're using a .do file from a parent directory, we should set $3 using
the same path prefix as $1. We were previously using just the basename,
which mostly works (since we would rename it to $1$2 eventually anyway) but
is not quite right, and you can't safely rename files across filesystems, so
it could theoretically cause problems.
Also improved t/defaults-nested to test for this behaviour.
Reported by Eric Kow.
Supposedly it's not POSIX, but every shell I have seems to support it, so
let's just reject any that don't. And like magic, anybody using redo can
now count on the 'local' builtin working.
This fails on ash, dash, and busybox sh (for now). But it's kind of
important since $HOME often has spaces on Win32. I hope dash will be fixed
relatively soon.
I downgraded it to a warning since on Unix, this probably isn't a problem.
If that ever happens, we probably got our paths mangled (like in the
previous commit) so we should die right away rather than allow weird things
to happen later.
The result was that t/deps/dirtest was actually failing in some cases. But
it wasn't failing quite reliably enough, because the failing test was
dirtest/dir1/all, which has the same name as some other 'all' files,
confusing the issue. Renamed dirtest/dir1/all.do to dirtest/dir1/go.do instead.
Reported by Prakhar Goel and Berke Durak.
I notice it doesn't quite work on my Ubuntu system - if I "cd version"
and run "../redo", I get the following output:
redo all
redo vars
redo gitvars
[: 24: %H: unexpected operator
[: 24: %d: unexpected operator
[: 24: %ci: unexpected operator
...and then a hang.
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.

- minimal/do is bigger now
- minimal/do is public domain
- link to busybox-w32 as a hint to win32 users
- Instead of talking about "Redofile", just explain how to do it with a case
statement in default.do
- Don't worry about $1 and $2; djb didn't complain :)
- Explain how the search-parent-dirs feature works. The semantics are now
that the .do file runs with $PWD set to the dir containing the .do file,
not the one containing the target. (This is backwards compatible since
the two directories always used to be identical. So now we just change
the documentation and it's all good.)

* master:
Fixed markdown errors in README - code samples now correctly formatted.
Fix use of config.sh in example
log.py, minimal/do: don't use ansi colour codes if $TERM is blank or 'dumb'
Use named constants for terminal control codes.
redo-sh: keep testing even after finding a 'good' shell.
redo-sh.do: hide warning output from 'which' in some shells.
redo-sh.do: wrap long lines.
Handle .do files that start with "#!/" to specify an explicit interpreter.
minimal/do: don't print an error on exit if we don't build anything.
bash completions: also mark 'do' as a completable command.
bash completions: work correctly when $cur is an empty string.
bash completions: call redo-targets for a more complete list.
bash completions: work correctly with subdirs, ie. 'redo t/<tab>'
Sample bash completion rules for redo targets.
minimal/do: faster deletion of stamp files.
minimal/do: delete .tmp files if a build fails.
minimal/do: use ".did" stamp files instead of empty target files.
minimal/do: use posix shell features instead of dirname/basename.
Automatically select a good shell instead of relying on /bin/sh.
Conflicts:
t/clean.do
Apparently emacs sets TERM=dumb in its tty simulator, so even though
isatty() returns true, we shouldn't use colour codes. (emacs is therefore
lame. But we knew that.)
