Summary: Inheritance of target-specific variable not always
suppressed by private
Project: make

Fixed Release: None
Triage Status: None

Details:
The private modifier should suppress inheritance of target-specific variables,
but this does not seem to always work.
In a chain of dependant targets, if more than one target modifies a private
target-specific variable, then the later target in the chain inherits the
private variable from the earlier target.
Building the attached makefile with GNU Make 3.82, I get the following
output:
bar3: FOO 1 3
bar2: FOO
bar1: FOO 1
I was not expecting the private value of DEFS used by target 'bar1' to be
inherited and used when creating the private value of DEFS for target 'bar3'.
The output I expected was:
bar3: FOO 3
bar2: FOO
bar1: FOO 1
The attached makesimple is probably a simpler example and I expected it to
give the following output:
bar3: 3
bar2:
bar1: 1
regards,
Rob.
