Summary: export within $(eval) within a $(call) broken? Project: make Submitted by: None Submitted on: Tue 15 Feb 2011 10:05:04 PM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Bug Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 3.82 Operating System: Any Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Hi, After a long bug hunting in a set of complex Makefiles, I came up with that simple test that let me think there is a problem in gmake itself: -- cut here -- define test1 $(eval export AA) endef define test2 $(eval export AB=) endef define test3 $(eval export AC=x) endef $(call test1) $(call test2) $(call test3) $(eval export AD) all: env | grep ^A -- cut here -- The output from gmake is : env | grep ^A AB= AC=x AD= Note that 'AA' variable is not exported. I can reproduce this with gmake-3.81 or 3.82, on different platforms (Linux, NetBSD). Am I missing something, or is there really a problem here? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32498> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
