# We use second-expansion heavily to dynamically compute prerequisites when they

.SECONDEXPANSION:

# TARGET OBFUSCATION

# Mage 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:.=/.))))

# High-priority implicit rule for obfuscated targets.  Works for both always-
# exists and alternate-name targets.
$(opfx)%: oid=$(word 1,$(subst $(aname), ,$@))
$(opfx)%: otgt=$(word 2,$(subst $(aname), ,$@))
$(opfx)%: $$($$(oid)@opr)
	$($(oid)@ocmd)

# - bar is managed and up to date => replay
# - bar doesn't exist or is managed and out of date => generate

# Procedure to generate bar.  Remember, $@ is bar.g.
# If an override:
#     1. Complain.  (Should we stop "`bar' is up to date" using @:; ?)
#     2. Clear out the warnings so we don't replay them.
# Otherwise, check prereqs, command, and nonexistence to decide whether bar
# needs to be regenerated.  If so:
#     1. Set a flag so Mage knows to reread the genfile when make runs target
#        "bar".
#     2. Echo the command being run.
#     On error, skip to 8:
#        3. Open the new genfile bar.g.tmp for writing.
#        4. Store the command in bar.g.tmp.
#        5. Run the command to bar.tmp, storing warnings in bar.g.tmp.
#        6. If bar.tmp differs from bar:
#           a. Clear and touch bar.g (so bar doesn't become an override if we're
#              killed between steps 6b and 7).
#           b. Move in the new bar.
#        7. Now that bar is known to be up to date, move in the new bar.g.
#     8. Defensively remove both temporary files and exit with the exit code
#        from before the removal. (trap EXIT)
