Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45311 (project make): Well, make walks targets one at a time, so there will always be a "first" target which is determined to be out of date and matches a given pattern rule, causing the recipe to fire. That target is the one that will be set with $@. The rest of the targets are marked as "also built".
I definitely wouldn't expect that $@ would contain multiple targets but maybe it's just because I'm too close :). Having something that is normally just one file be multiple files is not expected, IMO. In general in pattern rules with multiple targets, $* is more useful than $@. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45311> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
