tools/build_srcdist:
Delete the old build_srcdist, and rename build_srcdist2 as build_srcdist.
Make it refer to the tar target designed for it, tar2, under its new name
tar.
Mmakefile:
Delete the old tar target (which worked with the old build_srcdist),
and rename the old tar2 target (which works with the new build_srcdist)
as just plain tar.
tools/build_srcdist:
De-initialise the git submodules prior to building the source
distribution. They are then setup again, with clean working
directories, by the call to ./prepare.sh.
Mmakefile:
Handle the the new location of libatomic_opss in the "tar" target.
scripts/prepare_install_dir.in:
Handle both usage in the source distribution where
boehm_gc/libatomic_ops is a directory, and usage in a development
workspace where boehm_gc/libatomic_ops is a symlink.
GC_stackbottom, GC_gc_no and GC_dont_gc are now deprecated. These changes
use new options in the API where possible.
Update scripts to copy the boehm_gc and libatomic_ops directories correctly.
Pass Boehm GC the correct flags for thread support
Update documentation regarding the version of Boehm GC.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
Don't use the deprecated GC_dont_gc variable.
library/benchmarking.m:
Use GC_get_stackbottom() to get the bottom of stack and GC_get_gc_no()
to get the number of collections so far.
util/mkinit.c:
Do not explicitly set GC_stackbottom anymore, except on AIX where it
cannot be found automatically.
scripts/prepare_install_dir.in:
tools/bootcheck:
tools/build_srcdist:
Add some missing files present in Boehm GC 7.4.2 that wern't present
earlier and remove some old ones.
Coby and link the libatomic_ops directory correctly.
.README.in:
bindist/bindist.README:
Update documentation regarding the version of Boehm GC.
configure.ac:
Something in Boehm GC's build system has changed and we must now pass
-DGC_THREADS whenever building threadsafe versions of BOehm GC. This is now
done using the BOEHM_MISC_CFLAGS_FOR_THREADS autoconf variable, which has
been renamed to BOEHM_CFLAGS_FOR_THREADS now that it is more generally used.
Boehm GC no longer (or perhaps never did) require developers to specify the
type of threading to use, eg -DGC_LINUX_THREADS rather than -DGC_THREADS.
With the exception of win32-pthreads. We now pass -DGC_THREADS whereever
possible.
Mmake.common.in:
Rename BOEHM_MISC_CFLAGS_FOR_THREADS.
tools/build_srcdist:
We no longer need to bother with setting the LLDS base grade as the
C files in the source distribution have been built using the high-level
C backend for quite a while now.
Don't build the source distribution with --cross-compiling; that option
no longer does anything.
Don't disable smart indexing when building the source distribution;
the problems that originally caused us to do so have long since been
fixed.
