[PATCH v2 0/5] Makefile: "make tags" fixes & cleanup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A v2 of my fixes to the tags targets. This no longer depends on my
.DELETE_ON_ERROR change, and goes directly on top of "master". See [2]
for the just-submitted v2 of that other series.

The big win here is that none of the tags targets depend on "FORCE"
anymore, so we'll only re-generate them if our sources change.

I missed the interaction of the "-a" flag and xargs splitting the
arguments into am implicit -n, so in v1 of this we could end up with
incomplete tag files. In this v2 we more incrementally reach similar
ends, but in the end result retain our rm/gen/mv dance, since it's
needed in this case.

    -    I'm also removing the "-o" option from them, that seems to have been
    -    cargo-culted when they were initially added in f81e7c626f3 (Makefile:
    -    Add TAGS and tags targets, 2006-03-18). It would make sense to use
    -    that option if we had been appending to tag files, it doesn't make any
    -    sense that it was used after we'd just removed the files file being
    -    appended to.

    -    This will potentially cause a partial file to be left behind if the
    -    command dies, but my in-flight series to use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR"
    -    flag in the Makefile[1] will make that problem go away. I think even
    -    without that it's not problem we need to worry about in these cases.
