Can we rely on it?
In fact the output explicitly does NOT show in any particular order. Variables are stored internally to make in a hash table, and the -p flag dumps the contents by walking the hash table. So, the values are printed in essentially random order. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
