Look, no one is claiming that this feature is useless. I just spent two days researching and implementing it on Windows, something I wouldn't do if I thought it wasn't important to have. What we are talking here is whether to have this turned on by default. I hope you are not going to claim that adding -O to a Make command line to get the new behavior is too hard. By contrast, having to type -Onone to have the _old_ behavior back might very well annoy a few. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
