That would be bad. I can't then use the same source to test building e.g. embedded & natively hosted using the same source dir. >> - there can be hard to track errors such as bin2char being >> left in src/helper and subsequently trying to use build != >> src dir will fail. > > You mean build/src/helper or source/src/helper?? if you have a file in source/src/helper/bin2char, then a subsequent build w/build_dir != src_dir will fail. > Getting rid of "src" as a directory name would at least help > get rid of that confusion. (As if "tcl" isn't a kind of source > code, and "doc" isn't source to the docs ...) No particular opinion on that.
