| Summary | 0001696: Effect of -s when no work needs to be done | ||||
| Description | Line 104629 says: > If make is invoked without any work needing to be done, it shall write a message to standard output indicating that no action was taken. The sentence above the cited sentence explicitly specifies what happens when the -s option is given, but the cited sentence doesn't. Does the standard intentionally omit to specify the effect of the -s option? When no work needs to be done and make is run with the -s option, GNU make is silent while BSD make writes the message. | ||||
| Desired Action | If intended, specify that the behavior of -s with no work to be done is unspecified. If the currently specified behavior is intended, mention that -s has no effect in this case, to clearly distinguish it from the preceding sentence in the same paragraph. | ||||

Change in make STDOUT section on P3107, L104627-104633:The make utility shall write all commands to be executed to standard output unless the −s option was specified, the command is prefixed with an at-sign, or the special target .SILENT has either the current target as a prerequisite or has no prerequisites. If make is invoked without any work needing to be done, it shall write a message to standard output indicating that no action was taken. If the −t option is present and a file is touched, make shall write to standard output a message of unspecified format indicating that the file was touched, including the filename of the file.to: If make is invoked without any work needing to be done, it may write a message to standard output indicating that no action was taken. Otherwise, the make utility shall write all commands to be executed (and the filenames of files touched for the -t option in a message of unspecified format) to standard output unless the −s option was specified, the command is prefixed with an at-sign, or the special target .SILENT has either the current target as a prerequisite or has no prerequisites. |
