Follow-up Comment #10, bug #61226 (project make): [comment #9 comment #9:] > I will leave this issue open to think about how to best introduce a backward-incompatible change that might help in this situation.
Do i understand it correctly, that as long as compatibility allows, you'd like make to fail whenever make cannot include a makefile, as long as the included makefile has a rule with a recipe, even empty? i'd like to mention that en empty recipe in a force rule has the benefit of avoiding a redundant implicit search. This helps performance and makes a meaningful debug output, because it removes repetitive "Looking for an implicit rule..." and "No implicit rules found..." for each .d file. So, i prefer rules like ++++ %.d:; %.h:; ---- _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61226> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
