I don't think you can guarantee that the asynchronous subprocesses are killed off at the same time as the parent. Rather than trying to prove this using Make, I'd suggest writing a bespoke program that spawns asynchronous processes, which create files with known pathnames and leave them open. Kill the parent and try to remove the files that the subordinate process created. -- For more information, dial 411. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
