Re: Feature request: silently overriding existing rules

This is a different thing but I'd have had great use for a way to tell if a target had been defined previously. Had to use variables to do it which used a lot of memory and it was a total waste because make has the information already. Perhaps the ability to detect if a target is defined and anoth

Re: Feature request: silently overriding existing rules

Even with GNU make as it stands, couldn't you emit your rules in the form of variables, override them at will, and eval() them at the end? E.g. define ruleA version 1 endef then later... define ruleA version 2 endef $(eval $(call ruleA,...)) -David Boyce On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 12:36 PM, Stef

Feature request: silently overriding existing rules

In some situations, it would be very useful to be able to override already-defined rules for a target without having GNU make complaining about the override. For example, when writing a "library" of makefiles recipes, organized as a set of makefile fragments to be included by a "master" (user-writ
