Thanks for the patch, but this changes the behavior.
With '#' replaced with $(pound), '\\' does not escape anything,
so it is treated as '\\'.
The following keeps the current behavior:
make-cmd = $(call escsq,$(subst $(pound),\$(pound),$(subst
$$,$$$$,$(cmd_$(1)))))
But, I think the following is an even better fix:
make-cmd = $(call escsq,$(subst $(pound),$$(pound),$(subst
$$,$$$$,$(cmd_$(1)))))
The following 4 test cases produce the same foo.txt,
but insane .cmd file is produced for some case.
Adjusting the number of back-slashes is not a perfect solution.
Replacing # with $(pound) works for all the cases.
[test code 1]
extra-y := foo.txt
quiet_cmd_foo = DEFINE $@
cmd_foo = echo '\#define FOO' >$@
$(obj)/foo.txt: FORCE
$(call if_changed,foo)
[test code 2]
extra-y := foo.txt
quiet_cmd_foo = DEFINE $@
cmd_foo = echo \\\#define FOO >$@
$(obj)/foo.txt: FORCE
$(call if_changed,foo)
[test code3]
extra-y := foo.txt
quiet_cmd_foo = DEFINE $@
cmd_foo = echo '$(pound)define FOO' >$@
$(obj)/foo.txt: FORCE
$(call if_changed,foo)
[test code4]
extra-y := foo.txt
quiet_cmd_foo = DEFINE $@
cmd_foo = echo \$(pound)define FOO >$@
$(obj)/foo.txt: FORCE
$(call if_changed,foo)
| current | \$(pound) | \\$(pound) | $$(pound)
