Follow-up Comment #11, bug #15584 (project make): Hm. OK. I guess the only question is, why does the older version of GNU make not have this problem? We must have changed the behavior of intermediate files or something that caused this change in behavior. If we can understand what change we

[bug #15718] Weird behavior of the SHELL variable on Win32

2006-02-13 Thread Paul D. Smith
Follow-up Comment #9, bug #15718 (project make): Just a note: changing SHELL _shouldn't_ be dangerous in the way you mention, Eli. On UNIX, at any rate, if SHELL is not set to an acknowledged value for a Bourne shell then make doesn't even try to use the fast path: all invocations of commands

[bug #15757] circular variable_set_list causes hang on SunOS

2006-02-15 Thread Paul D. Smith
Follow-up Comment #1, bug #15757 (project make): This problem does not ring a bell with me, unfortunately. We're going to need your help to debug it. Can you provide a backtrace? Please make sure you build make with debugging enabled so that we get decent symbols etc. Is the argument to the

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #15757 (project make): Yes, it's OK for global_setlist-next to be non-null in some situations. This is very helpful, but can you repeat the test and provide the same info you did in both examples (that is, backtrace, *file, trace the -next pointers through to the loop,

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #15757 (project make): Thanks for the info. I need to look at it a bit. There are no fixed size anything in GNU make; everything is dynamic. Your guess is logical, but in fact there is an explanation that fits the facts better that doesn't rely on any resource issue:

2006-02-15 Thread Paul D. Smith
Follow-up Comment #9, bug #15757 (project make): Hrm. I rechecked the logic (which is somewhat unusual, by necessity) for the variable set list push/pop and it seems correct to me. That means that there may be somewhere else in the code that's resetting these variables. It's very odd that it

[bug #106] make reports misleading line number in error message

2006-02-15 Thread Paul D. Smith
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #106 (project make): You are correct, Jeff: make does actually have enough information to generate a more correct error message. However, the patch you've applied is, I think, too generic. There are some situations while expanding where you DO want the line number in
