On page 3066 line 102981 section m4, and page 3066 line 102983 section m4, change: whitespace charactersto: white-space characters On page 3112 line 104875 section make, change: all whitespace atto: all white space at On page 3114 line 104946 section make, change: each whitespace-separated wordto: each white-space-separated word (I can only find the above four uses of "whitespace"; if there really is a fifth, please give the page and line number.) |

The fifth instance may be on page 3689 lines 126884 to 126885. Since it includes a line break, it may be spelled 'whitespace' or 'white-space', that's something I cannot see from the rendered PDF version. But since there are only few hyphenations elsewhere, I assume that hyphenation is disabled in the original document. In that case, the 4 uses you found are indeed all. |

When working on this bug, please also consider whether make implementations (in general) use "white space" in accordance with the definitions in XBD 3.412 (for "white space") and 3.414 (for "white-space"), or whether some have a more restricted syntax allowed, in which case (if the make page doesn't already redefine those terms) perhaps more care needs to be given to exactly how they are used. Note: this note is not intended to be any specific objection to anything, I haven't read the make spec, and don't intend to (current versions of make, all of them, annoy me) just pointing out something to be aware of, and perhaps check ... many man pages (etc) say "white space" when they really just mean space or tab (and sometimes newline) and don't intend (the code does not implement) the full range of characters that the XBD definitions require. |
