Hi,
I'm using release candidate version 3.99.90 and I'm seeing problems relating
to the --eval command line option.
The attached makefile is designed to cause restarts until MAKE_RESTARTS equals
5. In order to see how many times the --eval option is being applied, I build
the makefile with the following command:
make --eval='$(info --eval)'
The output I get is as follows:
--eval
MAKE_RESTARTS=
--eval
--eval
MAKE_RESTARTS=1
--eval
--eval
--eval
MAKE_RESTARTS=2
--eval
--eval
--eval
--eval
MAKE_RESTARTS=3
--eval
--eval
--eval
--eval
--eval
MAKE_RESTARTS=4
--eval
--eval
--eval
--eval
--eval
--eval
MAKE_RESTARTS=5
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
It seems that the --eval option is being applied (MAKE_RESTARTS + 1) times at
the start of each restart and this can result in some very strange effects.
This is different to the behaviour I see with 3.82 where --eval only appears
once for each restart.
best regards,
Rob.
