Follow-up Comment #5, bug #61328 (project make): > Why is this a concern?
I may have phrased it wrong. I just meant to bring up "a question that might reasonably be raised" and rebut it in advance. > Unlike other tools make doesn't really care if a prerequisite is a file or a directory. My understanding is that by assuming "foo/" == "foo" make would be introducing at least a little bit of that distinction. Because while "dir" == "dir/" is true, "file" == "file/" is false since the latter is an error at stat() time. But maybe I'm missing something? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61328> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
