How about expanding: "The two flavors are distinguished in how they are defined and in what they do when expanded." To say: "The two flavors are distinguished in how they are defined, in what they do when expanded and in which phase of make's operation they are expanded (see the discussion of deferred versus immediate expansion in Reading Makefiles)." How about also adding a cross-reference to the Reading Makefiles, Variable Assignment section to say something like: "Variables whose expansion is deferred are also referred to as recursively expanded variables. Variables which are immediately expanded are also known as simply expanded variables. See The Two Flavors of Variables." ------------------------------------- Martin's Outlook, BlueArc Engineering _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
