Follow-up Comment #1, bug #49844 (project make): Hello.
There is a bug in your trivial example: 1) 'seq 1000 | xargs -n1000 make -j5' expands to 'make -j5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...' and 2) 'seq 1000 | xargs -n1000 make -j' expands to 'make -j 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...' As we can see, in second example '1' after '-j' make interprets as number of jobs, so "it not do any parallelization at all". _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49844> _______________________________________________ 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
