Follow-up Comment #3, bug #18335 (project make): My intention was to leave the math functions to the Guile integration. I'm open to discussion on this point.
If we do decide to create a built-in math section for GNU make, I wouldn't want to see it using the kind of Lisp-like syntax described by Dave. While I do agree that might be more consistent with make function style, I think it's unnecessarily complicated for the user to have to write it out like that. I would prefer to see a new function $(expr ...) that takes a math expression and evaluates to the result of the expression... similar to the way the expr(1) program works in the shell. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18335> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
