Follow-up Comment #1, bug #63484 (project make):
Thanks for your report.
> test.x exists but make 4.4 says it doesn't
This is an old issue, that keeps causing questions. I think, we should open a
dedicated bug report about this.
> test.foo is older than test.x therefore test.x does not need to be updated
This is indeed a regression.
The fix for sv 60435 introduced a piece of code in implicit.c.
Specifically,
++++
+ if (f && !f->is_explicit && !d->is_explicit)
+ f->intermediate = 1;
----
Same fix also introduced code in file.c and read.c to set file->is_explicit
for all explicitly mentioned prerequisites and targets.
to prevent explicitly mentioned files from being treated as intermediate.
In this example test.foo is not a prerequisite and not a target.
This patch in the attachment marks all makefiles as explicit.
