Follow-up Comment #3, bug #30328 (project make):
Hi Paul,
> Is it really true that this is an issue?
At least in our build there are "about to do this" and "having done that"
log/trace echo commands in all recipes.
Using Cygwin with its high process creation overhead the proposed change gave
a speedup in the high single-digit procent range.
> it doesn't deal with quotes
As far as I understand quotes make the command look something like 'sh.exe -c
echo ...' while the proposed change checks for 'echo' (without the shell).
> it doesn't manage common options to echo (e.g., "-n")
That's true. But you stated yourself that quoting is the primary issue...
Anyway thanks for your consideration,
