Package: make
Version: 3.81-8
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just got hit by this bug. Wow, this is OLD. In my case I have rather
costly targets that becomes an intermediate file so this really wastes
time a lot.
The bugreport states 3 workarounds:
.PRECIOUS : has unwanted side effects
.SECONDARY : does not accept patterns
dummy: t.bar : again no patterns
Wouldn't it make sense to enhance .SECONDARY to accept patterns? That
seems smarter than having to write
.SECONDARY: $(foreach PAT,$(PATTERNS),$(PAT)-foo )
for a %-foo target. Esspecially when $(PATTERNS) isn't (easily) computable.
An option to disable intermediate files alltogether would also work
although that would be somewhat crude. But I rather waste diskspace
(which is cheap) than time (time = money :).
MfG
Goswin
