Let's take Makefile:
alzu:; echo $@
Blibco:; echo $@
Norfowitz; echo $@
nillsburg; echo $@
Well let's say we want to run all the capital letter items.
We could use
$ make Blibco Norfowitz
but that isn't as smart as
$ make --all-targets-matching-regexp '^[A-Z].*' #Or instead these kinds or
regexp
On the make man page,
-B, --always-make
Unconditionally make all targets.
seems to mean for Makefile
a:; echo $@
b:; echo $@
c:; echo $@
$ make -B
should make all three.
Therefore the wording should be more like the INFO page.
GNU Make 4.3
Follow-up Comment #10, bug #60297 (project make):
That may indeed be useful to have .SECONDARY accept patterns.
Do you mean, that when .SECONDARY depends on a pattern the behavior is the
same as that of .NOTINTERMEDIATE (as proposed here)?
That would be quite surprising for users, would not it?
