The goal of this is exactly what is stated - improve performance. fork() is extremely slow operation on Cygwin because of Windows' nature. Make already had all the code so it took quite a short time to adapt it. I know that gcc toolchain also uses this for speedup. There was a short discussion in Cygwin ML with test results, sorry, i cannot find the URL, Google fails to find it. -- Kind regards, Pavel Fedin _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
