Follow-up Comment #21, bug #48643 (project make):
I thought about this but adding such a note caused it to turn up in somewhat
unusual places. For example in this test:
all: hello.tsk
%.tsk: %.o; $(info hello.tsk)
%.o: %.c; $(info hello.c)
%.o: %.f %.tsk; $(info hello.f)
we expect to get this output:
make: Circular hello.o <- hello.tsk dependency dropped.
hello.f
hello.tsk
If I add a note when we start the compatibility check, it shows up here
(obviously we'd pick a more informative note if we added this):
Starting compatibility search
make: Circular hello.o <- hello.tsk dependency dropped.
hello.f
hello.tsk
I guess it's appropriate here but it seemed odd to me.
We should consider it. I wonder how many existing build systems would trigger
this note? That would be an interesting statistic.
