Well, IMHO I personally don't see a real, strong, compelling reason to have targets have crosstalk between themselves, but I do have an equally strong need to import dependencies.
The escenario is that you have your tipical:
a target compile depends=precompile target precompile (do-nothing)
b target precopile (very complex precompile lib)
build: import (a,b)
Yes, this is the "incriminated" use-case.
With cross-talk that is all you need to connect the two and get the required effect. Without cross-talk you would need to add more targets to build:
target precompile depends=b.precompile
or
override-target compile depends=b.precompile, super.compile
the question is how convinient is to have to thread all this interconnections by hand on the importing buildfile.
What about this:
a @importable="only"
target compile depends=precompile
<!-- target precompile (do-nothing) --> b
target precopile (very complex precompile lib) build:
import (a,b)It should work.
And manual intervention would kick in only in the case of multiple clashing precompile targets.
(hey, I said the same thing as in the reply to Costin but with a lot less words! Amusing...)
