------- Comment #1 from tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-12-26 00:24 ------- I think the rationale here is just that, if -MP added the main source file as a phony target, then 'make' would not do anything at all if the main file was missing. But, that result seems wrong -- for this to trigger your Makefile must still have some dependency on the old .o file. So, presumably the dependency ought to mean something, and not just be silently ignored.
How is it that your Makefile has a dependency on the old .o even when the main file name has changed? Isn't that a Makefile bug? -- tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |tromey at gcc dot gnu dot | |org Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Last reconfirmed|0000-00-00 00:00:00 |2006-12-26 00:24:20 date| | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28810
