One other important thing that doesn't seem to be covered in the manual is the requirements from the function that implements the Make function added by a loaded object. If the reader looks at gnumake.h, she will see that the function's signature should be like this: char *(*func)(const char *nm, int argc, char **argv) But this had better be documented explicitly in the manual. More importantly, we never say that the 'char *' value returned by the extending function must either be a pointer to a buffer allocated by calling gmk_alloc, or NULL; any other kind of pointer will cause unexpected results or crashes, because Make will try to free any non-NULL pointer returned by the extension. I think it is quite important to describe this in the manual. (I can make these changes in documentation, if you agree.) _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
