Hello,
I find the recheck target very handy. In most projects we have a
recursive structure and added a
recheck: all
(cd test && make $@)
in top_dir. And typically I work like
edit sources
make recheck VERBOSE=1 -j8
edit source
etc
which works very nice. Now I've started to work in a project with
non-recursive Makefile and I tried working the same fashion but got very
confused until I realized recheck does not depend on all, so my changes
in source did not affect the test result unless i did
make all -j8 && make recheck VERBOSE=1 -j8
I'm just curious; why isn't 'recheck' automatically doing that for me in
the same fashion as 'check' depends on 'all'.
Cheers,
Peter
