---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0005074) joerg (reporter) - 2020-10-27 15:24 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1325#c5074 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The include directive has been introduced by SunPro Make in January 1986 together with other features like conditional macro assignments, pattern macro substitutions and pattern matching implicit rules. The behavior of SunPro Make did not change since then and is consistent. gmake first appeared three years later and copied many of the new SunPro Make features. People would assume that this has been done in a compatible way. The current behavior of gmake is not self consistent and even changed compared to previous gmake versions. The current POSIX text does not break anything that was not broken before by incompatible changes in gmake already. You did not mention a single project that would no longer work if you did make gmake compatible to the include implementation in SunPro Make and smake. I am not aware of a single gmake based project that fails with SunPro Make just beause of the ideosyncratic implementation for the include feature in gmake. The makefiles designed for gmake typically fail because they are using non-standad features like "if" and a Makefile that contains .POSIX and "if" at the same time is definitely non-compliant. In other words: it seem to be your problem, if you or your customers missuse .POSIX for purposes other than 100% POSIX compliance. Since SunPro Make is POSIX certified (via Solaris), I expect that conforming Makefiles that contain a .POSIX line work with SunPro Make. If they do not, they are not fully conforming and beyond the scope of this discussion. Useful make implementations call "sh -ce cmd" since 1976 and never changed that. If you really like to permit people to use different shell flags, you could implement the method from smake that is based on MAKE_SHELL_FLAG and MAKE_SHELL_IFLAG.
