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. |
