If a checksummed target A used to exist but is now missing, and we tried to
redo-ifchange that exact file, we would unnecessarily run 'redo-oob A A';
that is, we have to build A in order to determine if A needs to be built.
The sub-targets of redo-oob aren't run with REDO_UNLOCKED, so this would
deadlock instantly.
Add an assertion to redo-oob to ensure we never try to redo-ifchange the
primary target (thus converting the deadlock into an exception). And skip
doing redo-oob when the target is already the same as the thing we have to
check.
We called 'redo' instead of 'redo-ifchange' on our indeterminate objects.
Since other instances of redo-oob might be running at the same time, this
could cause the same object to get rebuilt more than once unnecessarily.
The unit tests caught this, I just didn't notice earlier.
If a depends on b depends on c, and c is dirty but b uses redo-stamp
checksums, then 'redo-ifchange a' is indeterminate: we won't know if we need
to run a.do unless we first build b, but the script that *normally* runs
'redo-ifchange b' is a.do, and we don't want to run that yet, because we
don't know for sure if b is dirty, and we shouldn't build a unless one of
its dependencies is dirty. Eek!
Luckily, there's a safe solution. If we *know* a is dirty - eg. because
a.do or one of its children has definitely changed - then we can just run
a.do immediately and there's no problem, even if b is indeterminate, because
we were going to run a.do anyhow.
If a's dependencies are *not* definitely dirty, and all we have is
indeterminate ones like b, then that means a's build process *hasn't
changed*, which means its tree of dependencies still includes b, which means
we can deduce that if we *did* run a.do, it would end up running b.do.
Since we know that anyhow, we can safely just run b.do, which will either
b.set_checked() or b.set_changed(). Once that's done, we can re-parse a's
dependencies and this time conclusively tell if it needs to be redone or
not. Even if it does, b is already up-to-date, so the 'redo-ifchange b'
line in a.do will be fast.
...now take all the above and do it recursively to handle nested
dependencies, etc, and you're done.
