// job.c inside reap_children() near line 500:
if (err && block)
{
static int printed = 0;
fflush (stdout);
if (!printed)
{
error (NILF, _("*** Waiting for unfinished jobs...."));
fatal_error_signal(SIGTERM);
}
printed = 1;
}
However, looking more closely at fatal_error_signal() it appears that if
you send it SIGTERM it WILL try to kill every existing child process by
SIGTERM works better, although looking at the code in command.c I am not
sure why.
Now, I am getting different result depending on what the commands for the
target are.
When the target is like this, ps -ef reveals that "sleep 60" keeps
running, eventhough the prompt returns right away:
# CASE 1
all: t1 t2
t1:
sleep 60 && echo
t2:
exit 1
But when the target is like this, "sleep 60" dies for good:
# CASE 2
all: t1 t2
t1:
sleep 60
t2:
exit 1
Now if I use process substitution with the CASE 1 makefile
t=$(make -j 2)
the assignment does not return until the sleep 60 is over, but if I ^C out
of it, "sleep 60" dies immediately.
So sending SIGTERM is not quite like hitting ^C. I'd really like to
understand the difference and get it to work like ^C.
