New submission from Vinay Sajip <vinay_sa...@yahoo.co.uk>:
There appears to be a failure in the Makefile build logic. Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a fresh build using "make clean && make"
2. run "touch Modules/_io/_iomodule.h"
3. Run "make" again.
Observed result: No related files get built.
Expected result: The directly including compilation units
Modules/_io/{_iomodule,iobase,fileio,bufferedio,textio,bytesio,stringio}.o
should be built. The compilation units which depend on these (e.g.
Modules/textio.o) should also be built.
The problem appears to be related to Modules/makesetup, which adds rules to tbe
Makefile. An example of a rule is
Modules/textio.o: $(srcdir)/Modules/_io/textio.c; $(CC)
$(PY_BUILTIN_MODULE_CFLAGS) -DPy_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN
-I$(srcdir)/Include/internal -I$(srcdir)/Modules/_io -c
$(srcdir)/Modules/_io/textio.c -o Modules/textio.o
The problem here looks like the lack of a dependency between
Modules/_io/textio.o and Modules/_io/textio.o - there is only a dependency on
Modules/_io/textio.c, which wouldn't be rebuilt on a touch of
Modules/_io/_iomodule.h.
