Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:01:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B8A20154-A833-4AC7-98B4-BAC413DFB259@erratique.ch> (raw)
Am I right in thinking that in rule specifications we could get rid of
the ~dep(s) parameter of rules and have all deps be specified/
discovered dynamically via the 'build' argument ? Otherwise stated is
~dep(s) just an optimization ?
Out of curiosity any idea in the cost of suppressing these arguments
(i.e. was that road actually followed at some point) ?
If the answer to the first question is yes. Then I think the
documentation could be made clearer by stating that what is asked to
be built by the 'build' argument is considered as dependencies.
However if you know some deps statically you can specify them as
dep(s) argument this will just implicitely add them to the list given
to the 'build' argument.
Best,
Daniel
