There seems to be a bug in make 3.81 when make is configured with
BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL enabled. The problem only occurs when
BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL is enabled, make determines the shell is "unixy", and a
recipe has a continuation line.
If make determines that the shell is "unixy", the generated shell script used
to run a rule containing a continuation character will have one too many '\'s.
For example, the following makefile fails:
all:
echo this is\
a test
because the generated "batch" file used to run the echo command above is:
echo this is\\
a test
This results in two commands being executed (by unixy shells); "echo" and "a".
Clearly not what was intended.
If I'm not mistaken, the fix is quite simple and I've attached a patch to a
description of the problem here: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24405. I'd
appreciate any review/comments of the bug and the patch.
Thanks,
dave
