Summary | 0000602: Chain inference rules | ||||||
Description |
I've used Base_TC1_Draft3.pdf [EDIT: Page and line numbers changed to Issue 7 (2008)] for the reference. In line 95629 it's written that: A target is considered out-of-date if it is older than any of its prerequisites or if it does not exist. The make utility shall treat all prerequisites as targets themselves and recursively ensure that they are up-to-date… The paragraph starting with 95883 sets forth the methods to update a target. And more specifically, in lines starting from 95885: If the .s1 suffix is found in .SUFFIXES, the inference rules shall be searched in the order defined for the first .s2.s1 rule whose prerequisite file ( $*.s2) exists. If the target is out-of-date with respect to this prerequisite, the commands for that inference rule shall be executed. Therefore it sets the methods to resolve chain rules: .a.b: … .b.c: … I understand that according to the standard if in the beginning we have only file.a and file.b and file.c don't exist it should properly make file.b and then file.c. While for example in the HP-UX make it's not so. In absence of intermediate file.b the make stops with "don't know how to make" error. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-07/msg00054.html [^] for the details. |

Desired Action |
Am I right that HP-UX make behaviour violates the standard? And also probably if my conclusions are true, this point about chain suffix rules should be clarified in the standard. |
