Hi all: Writing makefiles is hard enough, so I always enable option --warn-undefined-variables whenever I can.
I have recently realised that in GNU Make 3.81 the $(value ...) function does not warn as expected. That is, if I run this example makefile: VAR_NAME := UNDEFINED_VARIABLE all: echo "$(UNDEFINED_VARIABLE)" echo "$($(VAR_NAME))" echo "$(value $(VAR_NAME))" I get the following output: Makefile:24: Warnung: undefinierte Variable »UNDEFINED_VARIABLE« Makefile:24: Warnung: undefinierte Variable »UNDEFINED_VARIABLE« echo "" echo "" echo "" Is this an oversight? The manual does not mention any exceptions for --warn-undefined-variables, and I wish that $(value ...) warned too. Please copy me on the answers, as I'm not subscribed to this list. Thanks, R.
