Summary: wildcard/glob should be sorted Project: make Submitted by: bmwiedemann Submitted on: Wed 20 Sep 2017 07:43:51 PM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: None Operating System: None Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: wildcard/glob should be sorted similar to shell glob, perl glob and POSIX glob(3) commit b9f831b8 added GLOB_NOSORT for no apparent reason, possibly by mistake. man 3 glob is very specific that the only reason to add this flag is to save processing time, but since ordering actually matters in a variety of cases, (e.g. when linking .o files into a binary) the list should be sorted. _______________________________________________________ File Attachments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed 20 Sep 2017 07:43:51 PM UTC Name: 0001-Sort-glob-file-lists.patch Size: 1KiB By: bmwiedemann fixing patch <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=41848> _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52076> _______________________________________________ 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
