In the same spirit as my previous post about automating with entr ...

I would love to be able to have some way for running a compiled C program that automatically runs make on the program before actually running the program.

Of course I don't want all of my programs to work this way, but when I am working on a program's source code, it would save a lot of time and keystrokes.

I know that I could use the compound command "make program; program" and that is not a bad solution as far as it goes, except that if I am using other programs that run/exec/fork program, then they fail to do the make which I want to be automatic.
