Good day, Well, Paul will probably tell me that it is not a bug (as he did with comments in define) but I will report it anyway.
Consider this makefile: foobar := world define name \ foobar endef .PHONY: hello hello: ; @echo hello $(value $(name)) It prints just "hello". I would guess it is because define assigns the value verbatim but I think this behavior is very weird. The real-life example that breaks because of this would be: define foo @echo $(value $1) endif define bar $(call foo,\ # Imagine this line is too long so I want to break it. baz) endef -boris
