I didn't realise it was that bad.  But it is a massive pain in the
posterior.  I have been attempting to minimise this problem by giving
specific recipes for order of compilation when, for example, cc-langs.el
is changed.  Clearly more is wanted.

Surely the right tool for this job is the (or a?) makefile?  If we're
going to fix the problem, we might as well fix it properly.

I am attempting to modify ..../lisp/Makefile.  However, I'm still
learning about makefiles, and would welcome tips or general help, or
comments about this approach from people here.  At the moment, this is
what I've added to ..../lisp/Makefile:

If I delete cc-langs.elc, then do:

    % make -nf CC-Makefile.mk progmodes/cc-engine.elc

, make reports:

    make: `progmodes/cc-engine.elc' is up to date.

, though I would expect it first to rebuild cc-langs.elc (due to the line
I've marked with <=====).

Thanks in advance for any help!

IIRC, this is a good example of the pickiness of make(1). Try:

      $ make -nf CC-Makefile.mk $(pwd)/progmodes/cc-engine.elc

(Indeed, you put a $(lisp)/ before each path...)

Ah!  You mean, make merely does a literal text comparison of the
"filename" one gives it ("progmodes/cc-engine.elc") with the target
($(lisp)/progmodes/cc-engine.elc, which expands to
"/home/acm/emacs/emacs-22/lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.elc").  They don't
match.

What's the best way of handling this?

Anyway, when I do

   % make -nf CC-Makefile.mk /home/acm/emacs/emacs-22/lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.elc

, make replies with this:

   EMACSLOADPATH=/home/acm/emacs/emacs-22/lisp ../src/emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -f batch-byte-compile /home/acm/emacs/emacs-22/lisp/progmodes/cc-defs.el

, which is what I want.

    Surely the right tool for this job is the (or a?) makefile?  If we're
    going to fix the problem, we might as well fix it properly.

A fix in the makefile is better than no fix, but it is troublesome
because it would require major changes in something which is now very
simple.  Practically speaking, we would be much better off if you could
solve this by changes in the cc-mode files themselves.

Is "major" not an exaggeration?  The sort of change I suggested (recording
the precise dependencies between the cc-*.elc files) would be fairly
localised in effect.  It could set a precedent for further changes,
though.

I think the makefile is simple because it doesn't reflect the inherent
complexity of Emacs (or, at least, of CC Mode), and this is why compiling
CC Mode is troublesome.

>Practically speaking, we would be much better off if you could
>solve this by changes in the cc-mode files themselves.

I can't see how this can be done.  The case I am thinking about is when a
change happens in cc-langs.el, say the introduction of a new language
variable c-foo - this is what I changed in a bug fix last week.  The
sequence of compilations now needed is this:
(i) Compile cc-langs.el; this puts the details of c-foo into a macro in
  cc-langs.elc.
(ii) Compile cc-engine.el and cc-mode.el; from the cc-langs macro, the
  first generates
    (defvar c-foo "Doc string.")
  in cc-engine.elc.  The second generates (in effect), the following in
  CC Mode's initialisation in cc-mode.elc:

    (setq cc-foo
     (cond
      ((eq major mode 'c-mode) "c-foo")
      ((eq major mode 'c++-mode) "c++-foo")
      .....))

0         1         2         3         4         5         6         7  3
Thus changing cc-langs.el makes a recompiliation of cc-{mode,engine}.el
necessary.  I can't see how this can be done sensibly within the CC Mode
files.  Possibly, cc-{mode,engine}.el could, at compilation time, get the
timestamps for cc-langs.el{,c}, compare them, and recursively compile
cc-langs.el if necessary.  But this is a horrible idea.

Or were you thinking of a different troublesome case?

That is a valid argument.  I guess we do need to put specific files in
lisp/Makefile.in.  I wish it were not necessary, but it is.

Please write it, and show us what the code looks like.

An "easy" solution is to prefer reading the newer .el files rather than the
older .elc when `requiring' a file during byte-compilation.  This way, in
the example, if cc-engine.el is compiled before cc-langs.el, it's still OK
because it will load the new cc-langs.el rather than the oild cc-langs.elc.

    An "easy" solution is to prefer reading the newer .el files rather than the
    older .elc when `requiring' a file during byte-compilation.

To solve this problem, it would have to load the newer .el file even
if the feature is already provided.

That is quite different from `require', and I don't think we should
change `require' to do that.  But we could add it as a separate new
feature, perhaps called `compilation-require'.

What do you think about that?

Stefan, the essential issue here is to ensure that cc-{mode,engine}.el
actually get recompiled after a change in cc-langs.el.  This needs stuff
in the makefile.

There is stuff like this in cc-bytecomp.el - cc-require, cc-provide, and
so on.  I've a feeling that cc-require might load the .el file rather
than the .elc, but I'm not sure at the moment.  Byte compiling
cc-langs.el is a good idea anyway, to check for errors in cc-langs.

cc-bytecomp implements this sort of thing.  Possibly its functionality
could be absorbed into Emacs 23.

Yes, that's another part of the problemn indeed.  My suggestion just removes
the need to compile cc-langs.el before compiling cc-engine.el but doesn't
help making sure that cc-engine.el gets recompiled at all.

This requires something in the Makefile, but we could extract it
(semi-)automatically by doing a makedepend kind of thing (I had written such
a trick which looks for `require's and `provide's to build the dependencies:
it does suffer from circular dependencies, so either we'd have to live with
complaints from `make' or we'd have to break those dependencies manually).
We could also tweak the byte-compiler to do something like what
"gcc -MD" does, but I suspect this would also suffer from
circular dependencies.

It sounds like you're saying that this approach would work as a solution.

What do others think of it?

OK, here is my tentative patch.  It works, but is lacking in elegance.
Suggestions for increasing the elegance would be welcome.

 You can omit to list the files cc-bytecomp.elc, cc-defs.elc,
 cc-langs.el, because they appear in the dependency lists of the
 rules below.

 > ! $(pr)/cc-vars.elc: \

Since $(pr)/cc-defs.elc already depends on $(pr)/cc-bytecomp.elc
there's no need to add the latter to this list.

the same here, $(pr)/cc-langs.elc depends on both
cc-defs.elc and cc-bytecomp.elc.

the same here

What I don't see in your patch is anything to cause the target CC-MODE
to be built (other than a manual request).  That part is needed too.
