Follow-up Comment #21, bug #48643 (project make): I thought about this but adding such a note caused it to turn up in somewhat unusual places. For example in this test: all: hello.tsk %.tsk: %.o; $(info hello.tsk) %.o: %.c; $(info hello.c) %.o: %.f %.tsk; $(info hello.f) we expect to get this output: make: Circular hello.o <- hello.tsk dependency dropped. hello.f hello.tsk If I add a note when we start the compatibility check, it shows up here (obviously we'd pick a more informative note if we added this): Starting compatibility search make: Circular hello.o <- hello.tsk dependency dropped. hello.f hello.tsk I guess it's appropriate here but it seemed odd to me. We should consider it. I wonder how many existing build systems would trigger this note? That would be an interesting statistic. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48643> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
