Could you clarify your terminology? The info pages use "simple variable" to refer to variables set with ":=", but that doesn't appear to be how you're using it. Similarly, "macro" is just a synonym for "variable", so I don't understand your distinction between "user defined macro" and "simple variable".
Sure, by simple I meant non-macro (function) type variable. I was variables assigned values using =, +=, := and ?= expanded, but not macros.
This becomes an issue when I extend dumpvars to report the value of the > variables its reporting, I get Make errors when dumpvars issues > $(info $i = $($i)) on some of my macros. That's probably because the variables contain further variable or function expansions. Try $(info $i = $(value $i))
Right ... but this wouldn't do the expansion of the variable for me. I've gotten it work - but prefixing all my macros with '_' and filter-out'ing them .... -Frazer Philip Guenther
