Follow-up Comment #33, bug #48643 (project make): This fix turned out to be difficult. i'll be surprised if we don't miss anything.
i wanted to bring to your attention a couple of leftovers. One is that pat->is_explicit that is described in update 31. For the other let's consider example 8. ++++ all: hello.tsk %.tsk: %.o; touch $@ %.o: %.c; $(info $@) #unrelated: hello.o ---- Here, 'hello.o' is intermediate and 'hello.o' and 'hello.tsk' are not rebuild when 'hello.o' is missing. If we uncomment rule 'unrelated: hello.o', then 'hello.o' is explicit and 'hello.o' and 'hello.tsk' are rebuild when 'hello.o' is missing. So, even though rule 'unrelated: hello.o' is unrelated and no longer participates in overload resolution, presence of this rule affects make's behavior. The tests in sv48643_exp_preqreq_is_not_interm_tests.diff all test that such prerequisite explicitly mentioned on an unrelated rule is not intermediate. i'd like to solicit your opinion on this. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48643> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
