Update of bug #16531 (project make):
Status: None => Not A Bug
Assigned to: None => psmith
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #4:
I think the original description is not a bug. As I said in my comment #3,
because make is not parsing the contents of the parens as a variable reference
(because we've escaped it), it's treating the ":" as a special character. I
think this is just the behavior we have to accept: ":" is a special character
to make, just like "$" and "%" (in some contexts) so it needs to be escaped
sometimes. This is not always obvious but I don't see any way to make it
better.
The separate issue, that escaping the colon causes problems, will be addressed
by bug #16545.
