Summary: Side effects of .SECONDARY with no targets not documented Project: make Submitted by: None Submitted on: Tue 20 Dec 2011 10:07:20 PM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Documentation Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 3.82 Operating System: POSIX-Based Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: There are some side effects associated with intermediate/secondary targets that aren't documented in any real detail in the documentation. The documentation for .SECONDARY gives the impression you can use .SECONDARY to disable automatic deletion of intermediate targets, but doing so causes a number of side effects that produce unpredictable behavior in a build. Unfortunately, I do not have a concise or publishable example demonstrating the problem; however, I outlined it on this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.utils.bug/browse_frm/thread/d882703f60b20ea5?hl=en# -Brian _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35132> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
