# TARGET OBFUSCATION

# Mgear uses two kinds of "obfuscated targets" (those that are not the simple
# names of real files):
# - An always-exists target like /.//. is used as a prerequisite of an implicit
#   rule.  Since it exists, make doesn't second-expand its own prerequisites
#   until it is actually run.  This way, a target's prerequisites can depend on
#   the results of previous command scripts.
# - An alternative-name target like /.//./proc/self/cwd/bar is used to check the
#   mtime of a file without actually building it or introducing a circular
#   dependency.

# $(newoid) allocates and returns a new obfuscation ID (oid).  Example:
#    x:=$(newoid)
# You can then refer to target $x or $x$(aname)bar (for any file bar).
# Prerequisites and commands come from $($x@opr) and $($x@ocmd).
# Target-specific variables $(oid) and $(otgt) (if alternate-name) are
# available.

opfx:=/./
# TODO If the system doesn't support /proc/self/cwd, use something else.
aname:=/proc/self/cwd/
nextoid:=/./.
newoid=$(nextoid)$(eval nextoid:=$(subst /.//////,//./,$(patsubst /.//////%,/././%,$(nextoid:.=/.))))

# Target-specific variables for obfuscated targets.
$(opfx)%: oid=$(word 1,$(subst $(aname), ,$@))
$(opfx)%: otgt=$(word 2,$(subst $(aname), ,$@))

# High-priority implicit rule for obfuscated targets.  Works for both always-
# exists and alternate-name targets.
$(opfx)%: $$($$(oid)@opr)
	$($(oid)@ocmd)

# Make won't use the same implicit rule more than once on its stack, so provide
# a second copy of the rule to allow two obfuscated targets on the stack.
# Needed for $(mg-genfile-oid)$(aname)bar.g <- $(mg-scout-oid)$(aname)bar .
# The prerequisites must look different before second-expansion so the second
# rule isn't discarded as a duplicate.
$(opfx)%: $$(empty) $$($$(oid)@opr)

# MAIN BUILD LOGIC

# DESIGN:
#
# - To each generated file bar corresponds a "genfile" bar.g that contains some
# information about how bar was generated, including the command (for rebuild on
# command change) and the warnings (for replay).
#
# - bar.g's mtime is the last time mgear verified that bar was up to date.  bar
# needs to be regenerated iff a prerequisite is newer than *bar.g* (not bar).
# If a prerequisite changes but the command gives the same contents for bar,
# bar.g is touched but bar itself is not touched because files that depend on it
# need not be regenerated.
#
# - If bar is newer than bar.g, the user has overridden it, and we should leave
# the override in place but warn the user about it.
#
# - The user's Makefile defines mgear rules by calling mg-define-rule.  Each
# mgear rule becomes one underlying make rule with the same target and a little
# extra magic.  This is important so that all implicit rule competition takes
# place at the same target.  Additionally, the prerequisites are passed to an
# obfuscated target for bar.g to see if any are newer than bar.g.  This is done
# by the single obfuscated implicit rule, keeping the number of implicit rules
# low. Then the command script for bar checks for overrides, command change,
# prerequisite change, etc. and acts accordingly.
#
# Target metadata variables for bar: (* means stored in bar.g)
#
# bar@cmd:=cat foo >bar.tmp
#     Generation command as given to the shell.*
#
# bar@warnings:=$(empty)yikes!
#     Data that the command printed to stdout or stderr, presumably warnings.*
#
# bar@deps:=included@x oops@
#     If dependency-logging, list of filename@revision used.  Revision is x for
#     exists and empty for doesn't exist.  Later perhaps x will be the mtime.*
#
# bar@gloaded:=1
#     Set if mgear has loaded bar.g and hasn't changed it since then.
#
# bar@gdeps:=foo
#     Static dependencies of bar, for checking by bar.g.
#
# bar@gq:=foo $(mg-scout-oid)$(aname)bar
#     $? from the rule for bar.g; used by the rule for bar.
#
# bar@checked:=1
#     Set when mgear determines that a file is up to date or depends on it being
#     so determined.  Used to decide which prerequisite to check next for a
#     dependency-logging command.
#
# bar@dlc-ran:=1
#     Indicates that mgear is in the middle of building bar using a dependency-
#     logging command.  Means that bar.g.tmp, not bar.g, is the most current
#     genfile.
#
## If the rule for bar is overridden, we clear the information from bar.g so
## that it is as if bar.g didn't exist. -- Not currently needed
#
# Some make features with which mgear's compatibility has not been investigated:
# - Command-line options (especially --dry-run, --question, --touch,
#   --always-make, --keep-going, --jobs, --assume-old, and --assume-new)
# - Static pattern rules
# - Vpath

# $(call gload,foo.o)
