Follow-up Comment #1, bug #36925 (project make):
After more investigation I've created a much simpler example in the attached
file Makefile2. With this example the location of the current directory is no
longer important.
What is important is the following:
- Use of second expansion.
- A function call in the prerequisite list that's expanded during second
expansion and that appears around the 200th character in the prerequisite
list.
- The use of eval to define the affected rule.
Building Makefile2 results in the access of freed/uninitialised memory.
I'm not sure if it's related, but while I investigated I commented out the
.SECONDEXPANSION line and built the makefile with the -p option. I was
expecting the prerequisites of 'all' to contain '$(dir' and '$@)', but instead
-p showed prerequistes of '$(dir)' and '$($@)' - note the extra brackets and
dollar. Perhaps this is indicative of a problem with the way prerequistes are
being parsed that also results in memory problems when second expansion is
enabled.
I'll continue to investigate but right now I'm a bit lost trying to understand
how the GNU Make code works.
regards,
Rob.
