Hi,
I found that weird behavior while experimenting with the static rules
capabilities and I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature. Here is a
simple testcase:
% cat Makefile
titi.test : %.test : %.testsrc
echo "special test"
%.test : %.testsrc
echo "normal test"
%.testsrc:
touch $@
% make titi.test
touch titi.testsrc
echo "special test"
special test
% make toto.test
touch toto.testsrc
echo "normal test"
normal test
rm toto.testsrc
% touch toto.ksrc ; make toto.test
touch toto.testsrc
echo "normal test"
normal test
The static rule seems to behave as I would expect. But the non static
one automatically does a rm of the dependency...
This happens with both v3.79 and v3.80. This is not platform specific.
The run with the -p option does not provide a clue about that extraneous
rm ...
if the makefile is updated to actually create the %.k targets:
% cat Makefile
titi.test : %.test : %.testsrc
echo "special test" > $@
%.test : %.testsrc
echo "normal test" > $@
%.testsrc:
touch $@
Then the running "make toto.test" will create toto.test and remove
toto.testsrc. Running the command "make toto.test" a second time will
simply ignore the missing dependency toto.testsrc and simply print that
the target is up to date...
Am I missing something?
Let me know if you need more informations.
Thanks,
kifof
