| Summary | 0001653: make: confusing reference to word expansion | ||||
| Description | The current specification says: > The difference > between the contents of MAKEFLAGS and the make utility command line is > that the contents of the variable shall not be subjected to the word expansions > (see Section 2.6, on page 2468) associated with parsing the command line > values. The reference points to the shell command language, even though there is no shell involved at this point. The text "parsing the command line values" is not related to word expansion, as the "command line values" are interpreted as separate strings, typically by getopt. | ||||
| Desired Action | Remove the confusing sentence. Alternatively, reword the sentence to not refer to the shell. | ||||

Change:The characters are formatted in a manner similar to a portion of the make utility command line: options are preceded by <hyphen-minus> characters and <blank>-separated as described in XBD Section 12.2 (on page 215). The macro=value macro definition operands can also be included. The difference between the contents of MAKEFLAGS and the make utility command line is that the contents of the variable shall not be subjected to the word expansions (see Section 2.6, on page 2468) associated with parsing the command line values.to: The characters are formatted in a manner similar to the use of the make utility in shell commands: options are preceded by <hyphen-minus> characters and <blank>-separated as described in XBD Section 12.2 (on page 215).
