hi,
this regards plan 9 port.
with a very simple mkfile, $prereq and $newprereq get truncated at slightly
below 16*1024 characters.
essence of the mkfile:
allfiles=`{find -name '*.c'}
foo:VQ: $allfiles
echo $newprereq
# (alternatively: echo $prereq)
it seems to me formatted output library (fmt) is to blame, perhaps around the
twisted code of counting formatted characters. poking in mk internals, down in
dorecipe() i've stumbled upon a debug print():
print("lt=%s ln=%s lp=%s\n",wtos(head.next, ' '),wtos(ln.next, '
'),wtos(lp.next, ' '));
which (when un-commented) also prints truncated dump of the variable.
one clue i got so far is that adding a small print() after it fixes the output
*from the debug print*:
print("\n");
any help or hints please?
regards,

For example, if the first thing in the file is:
<?kzy irefvba="1.0" rapbqvat="ebg13"?>
an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditional
ROT13 encoding.
