Update of bug #18561 (project make):
Status: None => Not A Bug
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
It is by design; in fact it's mandated by the POSIX standard for make, which
states:
> When an escaped <newline> (one preceded by a backslash) is found
> anywhere in the makefile except in a command line, it shall be
> replaced, along with any leading white space on the following
> line, with a single <space>.
Since there is no limit to the length of a physical line in a makefile in GNU
make, I suggest you only break physical lines at whitespace.
