Usefulness of make -t

Hi Paul, Yesterday I found another use of make's -t flag: It helps make sure that the logic in the Makefile is correct. You could run the target without -t, but then you risk seeing warnings and errors from the commands run by the target before make's own ones, which would hide Makefile problems.

`make check -j` fails when building GNU Make from source

Hi, If I build make from source and run the checks in parallel, some fail. Is this expected, or is it a bug in the Makefile? Cheers, Alex -- GPG key fingerprint: A9348594CE31283A826FBDD8D57633D441E25BB5 makeerror-4.4.1-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-t3wj.tar.gz Descript

[bug #63981] suppress "-jN forced in submake" warning with -j1

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #63981 (project make): I made this change because of the manual although I'm not exactly sure it's the best idea. Note that there are better ways to force a makefile to be not parallel; for example you can use: all: $(MAKE) --eval '.NOTPARALLEL:' -f one.mk wh

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #63990 (project make): Settings like .WARNINGS = bogus causes decode_warn_name to return wt_max. decode_warn_actions then stores wt_max in type and the action at data->actions[type] and touches beyond the size of data->actions. __
