phk 2004-11-12 08:58:07 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: usr.bin/make job.c job.h main.c make.c Log: Add code to enforce the paralleism count (-j N) for the entire tree of submakes spawned during processing. We create a fifo and stuff one character into it for each job we are allowed to run. The name of the fifo is passed to child processes in the MAKE_JOBS_FIFO environment variable. A make which finds this variable on startup will open the fifo and only spawn jobs when it managed to read a token from the fifo. When the job completes a token is writen back to the fifo. Slave make processes get one token for free: the one their parent make got in order to run them. This makes the make processes themselves invisible in the process counts. The net effect is that "make -j 12 -s buildworld" will start at most 12 jobs at the same time, instead of as previously up to 65 jobs would get started.
