Bug 1325: Allow make to remake an included file Reopened
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1325
This item was closed, see bug note 05066 included below,
but has subsequently been reopened.
Bugnote 5066
In Issue 8 draft 1 page 2892 lines 97098-97102 (make extended
description), change:
If the file does not exist in this location, it is unspecified
whether additional directories are searched. If the file cannot
be opened, and if the word include was prefixed with a
<hyphen-minus> character, the file shall be ignored. Otherwise,
if the file cannot be opened an error shall occur.
to:
If a target rule or inference rule for the pathname has been
parsed before the include line is parsed make shall use the
rule to attempt to create the file or to bring it up to date
before opening the file. If the pathname is relative, the file
does not exist, and it cannot be created using such a rule, it
is unspecified whether additional directories are searched for
an existing file of the same relative pathname. If, after
applying such a rule (if any), the file cannot be opened, and
if the word include was prefixed with a <hyphen-minus> character,
the file shall be ignored. Otherwise, if the file cannot be
opened an error shall occur.
In issue 8 draft 1 page 2911 after line 97926 (make rationale),
insert a new paragraph:
This standard specifies that if a target rule or inference rule
for an include line pathname has been parsed before the include
line is parsed, make will use the rule to attempt to create the
file or to bring it up to date before opening the file. Historical
versions of GNU make delay the use of the rule until after all
makefiles have been read, which means that a rule for an include
file cannot be defined in an earlier include file (that itself
needs to be made via a rule). Historical versions of BSD make
do not attempt to (re-)make the include file. This standard
also specifies that an include file is first (re-)made if
possible, and only if not possible can other directories be
searched. Historical versions of GNU make first search the
include directories, then attempt to (re-)make the include
file(s) in reverse order of the include line's appearance in
the makefile.
