Follow-up Comment #18, bug #60297 (project make): I strongly second Dmitry's proposal that something like .NOTINTERMEDIATE: (preferably with a no-dependencies-means-all interpretation) should be added. The IMO weird behavior of .SECONDARY where it effectively creates strange weak dependencies just bit me for the second time. This time I just said a short prayer and removed .SECONDARY:, but what I really want is to disable the eccentric handling of intermediate files entirely.
This might add more implementation complexity and one more feature to consider, but it gives a road to simpler behavior. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60297> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
