Follow-up Comment #4, bug #64571 (project make):
> I'm just not really that convinced that the simplest thing is going to be useful to people. People are already using hacky regexes which are even less useful. > even internal ones etc Yeah there were some internal targets that I didn't want to show but couldn't figure out how to do it. If you can help that would be great! > Even in the comments below someone suggested "especially for phony targets" I think they meant targets that are *marked* as phony, not the .PHONY target itself? > make -pn | sed -n 's/^\([^#][^=]*:\).*/\1/p;' Hacks like this not working is what finally motivated me to write this patch. Try it in this directory: https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-tests/tree/master/isa Regex version output: https://gist.github.com/Timmmm/519aeee5f24658855f2f6fb9359643e3 My patch output: https://gist.github.com/Timmmm/85acf0ab3f00c9a1780579946823d1bb I feel like I may have missed the point you're making here though. (Note I'm not remotely a Make expert!) > I'm just skeptical that this wouldn't degenerate into a morass of conflicting requests for new features. Maybe. But this is clearly a highly demanded feature just for auto-complete/discovery. Seems mean to deny it just because people might ask for other things too. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64571> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
