Hi,
I have come across a difference between gnu make 3.78 and 3.79 that
may be a bug, and is certainly an incompatibility. Consider this
Makefile:
foo : a += b
foo : a += c
foo :
@echo $(a)
In 3.78 and earlier, the output of make is 'b c'; in 3.79 it is 'c'.
As I have quite a few Makefiles that rely on the former behavior, I
wonder
1) is the new behavior considered a bug or a feature?
2) if the latter, is there a workaround by which I can emulate the
former behavior?
Thanks for your help -- GNU make is an amazing tool and I really
appreciate the huge amount of work that the contributers have done.
Thanks,
Will
