Hello, with documentation stating
"As a convenience, you can define a variable and export it at the same time by doing: ..." It being merely a convenience, is it really intended for "export" without any assignment done at the same time to change the origin of a previously undefined variable from "undefined" to "file"? It doesn't change "default" to "file" for a variable with a default value, for comparison. As to the use case - to be able to determine whether a variable has been given a non-default value, and for such a check to be independent of whether - -R was passed to make - export lives ahead or after the check a change in behavior would seem to be needed, as such a check can, afaict, only sensibly check for "undefined" and "default". FAOD I checked up to 4.3, but not any newer development version of make. Thanks, Jan
