Follow-up Comment #10, bug #14927 (project make): The real question is, should we modify the default rules to allow parallel archive builds to work out of the box? Or should we just make it possible for users to rewrite the rules to allow it if they want to?
In order to allow it by default we'd have to violate POSIX requirements, which say that the rules for building archives are: .c.a: $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $*.o rm -f $*.o which is what GNU make uses (basically) and is clearly incompatible with parallel builds. And, if we do update the default rules, should we put them back of .POSIX: is given? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?14927> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
