Re: make: *** virtual memory exhausted. Stop.

hi,

The workaround I came up with was to dump into a .P file the dependency
generated in my function and add this new .P file to the list of files
to -include outside of the function.

i.e.:
ALL_DEP+=$(TOP_BUILD_DIR)/$$($(1)_OUTPUT).P
$(TOP_BUILD_DIR)/$$($(1)_OUTPUT).P: $$(call 
enumerate-dep-dirs,$(TOP_BUILD_DIR)/$$($(1)_OUTPUT).P)
        @echo $(TOP_BUILD_DIR)/$$($(1)_OUTPUT): $$($(1)_OBJ) > $$@
$(TOP_BUILD_DIR)/$$($(1)_OUTPUT):
        @$(call display-compile,$$(CXX) $$($(1)_LDFLAGS) -o $$@ $$(filter 
%.o,$$^))

regards,
Mathieu
