Subject: | why are all prerequisites timestamps checked, even after one is found to be newer than target?? |

Hello, I just called make –d on a target with many
prerequisites. Make examined all the prerequisites – whether they needed
to be rebuilt, and after that, started checking the timestamps. The first prerequisite
was found to be newer than target. Then why did it continue to check the timestamps of all the
rest of the prerequisites?? Is this not a waste of time? How to prevent that behavior? Mark |
