Follow-up Comment #3, bug #19448 (project make): Sorry, but you're incorrect about the way original UNIX make worked. In fact, every version of make that I'm familiar with does and has always considered equal timestamps as "up to date". The POSIX standard for make is quite clear about this as well:
A target is considered out-of-date if it is older than any of its prerequisites or if it does not exist. And also: The make utility examines time relationships and shall update those derived files (called targets) that have modified times earlier than the modified times of the files (called prerequisites) from which they are derived. It's also incorrect to classify this behavior as a recent change in GNU make; GNU make has always worked this way. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?19448> _______________________________________________ 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
