Follow-up Comment #14, bug #15584 (project make): I ran into this problem with some real work. I realize it's probably not common to have such a large tree of secondary/intermediate files, but due to the nature of our build process it would be nice if that worked without hitting this performance limitation.
In case it clarifies anything, I've attached a makefile (named BadMakefile) that replicates the problem. You can see the pattern; adding another level of hierarchy approximately doubles the time it takes to "make all". Also I predict that if you run this with "make -d" it will produce ~10GB of output. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15584> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
