---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0005072) psmith (developer) - 2020-10-27 14:04 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1325#c5072 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GNU make's algorithm for rebuilding makefiles, which has been in place for probably 30 years (certainly far enough back that I have no history from before it was available), works like this: 1. Parse all makefiles; if any included makefiles are missing, make a note of them 2. After parsing is complete, try to rebuild all makefiles regardless of whether they are missing or not (even existing makefiles are rebuilt, if they are out of date) 3. If any required makefile does not exist and could not be created, fail 4. If any makefile was rebuilt, re-exec make and start again. There are some trade-offs between this algorithm and that implemented by SunPro make; however GNU make's algorithm provides capability that the SunPro make algorithm cannot and that capability is considered valuable and is in very wide-spread use among GNU make users. I won't change it.
