It's nice to be able to drop the clean rules, but renaming all those variables causes a lot of churn. I think it would be better if we add a new variable, maybe NO_CLEAN, which can be used to specify anything in TEST_PROGS/EXTENDED which should *not* be cleaned. And then the default clean rule will just do: clean: $(RM) -fr $(filter-out $(NO_CLEAN),$(TEST_PROGS)) I think that would require less changes overall, because most tests just want to build some files, run them, and then clean them. The tests that need to do more elaborate things are the exception. cheers -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
