>Of course. Setting and storing the mod time on a file is up to the filesystem. Some filesystems support timestamps with granularity of 1
Yes Paul, but that is not my main problem. My main problem is that, on a single filesystem that supports sub-second timestamps, some utilities make use of sub-second timestamps, and some don't. If a utility that supports them is used in prerequisite recipes, and a utility that rounds to the nearest second, happens to be used in the target recipe, but a utility that supports sub-second timestamp is used in recipes for that target's prerequisites, you see we have a problem! Next rebuild may well think prerequisites are newer than the target, and will rebuild unnecessarily. How do you propose to deal with that? Am I the first one that has this problem? I can't believe that... _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
