Summary: Support for additional local make variables Project: make Submitted by: elfring Submitted on: Wed 21 Jun 2017 07:00:14 PM CEST Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Enhancement Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 4.2.1 Operating System: Any Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: The documentation <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Call-Function.html> contains the following information: “… The call function can be nested. Each recursive invocation gets its own local values for $(1), etc. that mask the values of higher-level call. …” The creation of temporary variables (which are just numbered) is already supported by this programming interface for function parameters. I would like to use similar functionality in the way that make variables can be adjusted within an customised scope so that variables in other scopes can be left untouched. With which additional function calls can corresponding variable scopes be managed? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51286> _______________________________________________ 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
