That's a good question. I'm sort of agnostic on it. On one hand, it's hard to think of a flag added to SHELLFLAGS (given the default value of SHELL) that would matter for the fast path: we only choose the fast path if the command is so simple we don't need a shell anyway so flags like -e, etc. have no relevance. Of course, there's -x which is perhaps what you were thinking of. Probably it does make sense to skip the fast path if SHELLFLAGS is not the default value. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
