Summary: add --warn-undefined-functions command line flag Project: make Submitted by: None Submitted on: Mon 19 Sep 2011 11:41:01 PM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Enhancement Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 3.82 Operating System: Any Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: In large build, it is not uncommon to have quite a few undefined variable, nor is it necessarily a bug... but usually trying to $(call and undefined function is an indication of a bug/typo These kind of bug are pretty hard to diagnose, especially when the build system make complex use of $(eval and nested $(call, so using --warn-undefined-variables is way too noisy. The proposed patch is to add a new command line flags to display a warning when an attempt is made to do $(call <undefined> The attached patch is based on a vanilla 3.82 The patch can also be found here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/dev-tools/commit/?id=42b4958acabe8645736c2d7614ebd55fbf95952d Norbert Thiebaud _______________________________________________________ File Attachments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon 19 Sep 2011 11:41:01 PM UTC Name: 0001-support-for-the-options-warn-undefined-functions.patch Size: 4kB By: None <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=23993> _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34335> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
