I never got a response on this. Thought I'd try one more time before
diving into the code. Anyone gots some comments?

Running GNU Make 3.79.1 on a RedHat Linux 6.2 system
I've got two issues:
1) Explicit intermediate files (Those listed as pre-reqs of .INTERMEDIATE)
will get deleted even if make did not create them. This is not-consistant
with how make deals with non-explicit intermediate files. Here's an
example:
.SUFFIXES:
#.INTERMEDIATE: test.x
all: test
%.x: %.cpp
cp $< $@
%.i: %.x
cp $< $@
%.o: %.i
cp $< $@
clean::
rm -f test *.o *.i *.x
test: test.o
cp $< $@
Running this as is looks like this:
st-lnx01:$ make clean
rm -f test *.o *.i *.x *.d
st-lnx01:$ make
cp test.cpp test.x
cp test.x test.i
cp test.i test.o
cp test.o test
rm test.x test.i
st-lnx01:$ make test.x
cp test.cpp test.x
st-lnx01:$ make
cp test.x test.i
cp test.i test.o
cp test.o test
rm test.i <--- test.x not deleted
Uncommenting ".INTERMEDIATE: test.x" after .SUFFIXES results in this:
st-lnx01:$ make clean
rm -f test *.o *.i *.x *.d
st-lnx01:$ make
cp test.cpp test.x
cp test.x test.i
cp test.i test.o
cp test.o test
rm test.x test.i
st-lnx01:$ make test.x
cp test.cpp test.x
st-lnx01:$ make
cp test.x test.i
cp test.i test.o
cp test.o test
rm test.x test.i <--- test.x deleted
Note the last line in each run - test.x is not deleted in the first run,
but it is in the second.
2) The .INTERMEDIATE target doesn't accept patterns for dependencies. For
example, you can't do this.
.INTERMEDIATE: %.x
Are these both design restrictions? Or should I start coding :)
Tom.
