I hope that more software tools can cope with make file syntax and processing of corresponding GNU extensions. > In fact, recursive variable expansion is about the only one > of the techniques I discuss above which is widely implemented > in other versions of make. I find it interesting which limitations from other approaches need to be also considered for the development of reasonably portable build scripts. > No other make, that I know of, supports regenerating makefiles and > re-exec'ing. And definitely no other make supports $(eval ...). Does GNU software provide some promising functionality here? Are there any chances that it will spread out to further implementations? > The $(call ...) function is what's normally used to create > a user-defined function that takes multiple arguments in GNU make... Would it help to mention explicitly that the built-in function "eval" takes script code as a single input parameter?
