What are the chances of making the following parse (in the same way some
other makes do):
OBJS_CPP = \
\
\
.\pch.obj \
.\newdel_w.obj \
.\MLCrtSct.obj \
.\MLSync.obj \
.\MMComBsc.obj \
.\MOBStrFn.obj \
.\MOComFns.obj \
.\MOConnPt.obj \
.\MOConv.obj \
.\MODisp.obj \
.\MOEnBSTR.obj \
.\MOEnGuid.obj \
.\MOEnStr.obj \
.\MOEnUnk.obj \
.\MOEnUnVr.obj \
.\MOEnVar.obj \
.\MOError.obj \
.\MOFTM.obj \
.\MOFTP.obj \
.\MOMemLkB.obj \
.\MOOleStr.obj \
.\MOProp.obj \
.\MOPrpBag.obj \
.\MOPrpPgs.obj \
.\MOPSBuff.obj \
.\MOPsClXX.obj \
# .\MOPsEnXX.obj \
.\MOPSGuid.obj \
# .\MOPsSqXX.obj \
# .\MOPsUnk.obj \
.\MORegLkB.obj \
.\MORegSvr.obj \
.\MOSafeAr.obj \
.\MOStorge.obj \
.\MOStream.obj \
.\MOVar.obj \
.\MWRegUtl.obj \
\
Rather than forcing me to move the stuff around, as in:
OBJS_CPP = \
\
\
.\pch.obj \
.\newdel_w.obj \
.\MLCrtSct.obj \
.\MLSync.obj \
.\MMComBsc.obj \
.\MOBStrFn.obj \
.\MOComFns.obj \
.\MOConnPt.obj \
.\MOConv.obj \
.\MODisp.obj \
.\MOEnBSTR.obj \
.\MOEnGuid.obj \
.\MOEnStr.obj \
.\MOEnUnk.obj \
.\MOEnUnVr.obj \
.\MOEnVar.obj \
.\MOError.obj \
.\MOFTM.obj \
.\MOFTP.obj \
.\MOMemLkB.obj \
.\MOOleStr.obj \
.\MOProp.obj \
.\MOPrpBag.obj \
.\MOPrpPgs.obj \
.\MOPSBuff.obj \
.\MOPsClXX.obj \
.\MOPSGuid.obj \
.\MORegLkB.obj \
.\MORegSvr.obj \
.\MOSafeAr.obj \
.\MOStorge.obj \
.\MOStream.obj \
.\MOVar.obj \
.\MWRegUtl.obj \
\
# .\MOPsEnXX.obj \
# .\MOPsSqXX.obj \
# .\MOPsUnk.obj \
I'd be quite happy to do the coding myself.

It might look fine to allow this. On the other hand, everyone knows that \ as last character on a line removes the EOL. Do you know any other make that would allow your proposed extension? - Heinz

I guess he was talking about being able to have commented lines in the middle without having to move them to the end and if I recall correctly make under AIX allows this but it's been 3 years since I used IBM's compiler (x_lc if I remember correctly) under that OS. If not, disregard this comment. /gf

"Matthew Wilson" <matthew stlsoft.org> Indeed. Sorry if it was not clear, everybody, it just seemed obvious to me (these things always do ...) As for which other makes - both Borland's make.exe (5.6) and Microsoft's (5.0, 6.0, 7.0) accept the syntax, which makes it a lot easier when working one's way through v.large projects that contain multiple errors (as a result of porting from one compiler to another) "gf" <mz_y2k yahoo...com> wrote in message news:Xns9398628E5FC43mzy2kyahoocom 63.105.9.61...Heinz Saathoff <hsaat bre.ipnet.de> wrote in news:MPG.1952496136b92b249896c1 news.digitalmars.com:Matthew Wilson schrieb...Walter What are the chances of making the following parse (in the same way

The point Heinz was trying to make is that when \ effetively removes the EOL you get ... .\MOPsClXX.obj # .\MOPsEnXX.obj ... which of course does not count as a comment. What has to be changed is that the comments need to be stripped from the input before the file is actually parsed, or something along those lines. Regards, Remko van der Vossen

Sure. I got the point. I wasn't trying to stir up a debate, or indeed score any points; just being a pragmatist (at least that's what I get labelled on DM's newsgroups - which I'm fine with) I wanted a more usable make. :) Walter, as I said, I'm more than happy to make the change if you wish <wichetael gmx.net> wrote in message news:bc9pdl$1a4h$1 digitaldaemon.com...In article <Xns9398628E5FC43mzy2kyahoocom 63.105.9.61>, gf says...Heinz Saathoff <hsaat bre.ipnet.de> wrote in news:MPG.1952496136b92b249896c1 news.digitalmars.com:Matthew Wilson schrieb...Walter What are the chances of making the following parse (in the same way

I see your point but thought what the "standard" for make tells about this. - Heinz

Right, that's what I meant. I'm not sure how the old UNIX make handles this case. - Heinz

make.
I've just tried it with smake.exe, and I don't get a makefile syntax error.
However, I do get
