Hi.
Target with no recipe seems not to trigger remaking rules.
For example, this Makefile triggers remaking rules correctly and does
infinite loops:
https://gist.github.com/Terminus-IMRC/a3a34ce7ddbf087892ce
$(file >dummy,)
Makefile: dummy
:
$(file >>Makefile,)
However, without the recipe (the : command), it does not trigger
remaking rules:
https://gist.github.com/Terminus-IMRC/2b58b314ca73c5d94a5f
$(file >dummy,)
Makefile: dummy
$(file >>Makefile,)
Is this an expected behavior? And would you please teach me why?
Regards,
Akane.
