makefile - Multi-line define in GNU make -

-

i'm trying make sense out of multi-line define directive of gnu make , cannot. example:

define 1 2 endef all:     @echo w=$(word 1,$(a))

running make produces result have expected least:

w=1 make: 2: command not found make: *** [all] error 127

it appears part of $(a) has spilled outside $(word) function.

is bug or intended behavior? if "spill" intentional, how works?

p.s. gnu make v3.81 on linux/x64

the $(word) function splitting on spaces. not whitespace, spaces.

there no spaces in a macro nothing gets split.

add trailing space on 1 line or leading space on 2 line , expected behaviour.

this consistent across gnu make 3.81, 3.82, 4.0, , 4.1 in quick testing here.

the reason see "spill" called because of how define expanded. expanded literally, newline , all. (think template expansion.)

so make expands define call $(word 1,...) expands result (the whole define including newline) recipe template , ends 2 lines executes recipe.

consider macro this:

define somecommands echo foo echo bar echo baz endef  all:     $(somecommands)

what expect happen here? how many lines body of all? how many shells run here? commands executed? answer 3 lines, 3 shells , 3 echo commands.

if newlines weren't counted run echo foo echo bar echo baz in 1 command , foo echo bar echo baz output instead of expected (and far more useful) foo, bar, , baz on 3 different lines.

java - Ebean enhancement ignores a model -

-
we using avaje-agentloader enhance our ebeans. ebeans in same package. including loader, agent & base ebean library in our project (via sbt): "org.avaje" % "avaje-agentloader" % "1.1.2", "org.avaje.ebeanorm" % "avaje-ebeanorm" % "4.5.5", "org.avaje.ebeanorm" % "avaje-ebeanorm-agent" % "4.5.2", however, when loader runs enhancement, skips 1 ebean. each ebean annotated @entity , extends com.avaje.ebean.model . there seem no differences between ones enhanced , 1 not. there no includes, or extends, etc. basically, i'm wondering if has run across issue in past, or has insights. things we've tried: specifying actual classes enhanced via serverconfig.setclasses(...) specifying pakages analyse/enhance via serverconfig.addpackage(...) or setpackages(...) not specifying @ , having loader analyse all. we've set break-point @ transformer.transform , bean in questio...

How to combine associative arrays in bash? -

-
does know of elegant way combine 2 associative arrays in bash normal array? here's i'm talking about: in bash can combine 2 normal arrays follows: declare -ar array1=( 5 10 15 ) declare -ar array2=( 20 25 30 ) declare -ar array_both=( ${array1[@]} ${array2[@]} ) item in ${array_both[@]}; echo "item: ${item}" done i want same thing 2 associative arrays, following code not work: declare -ar array1=( [5]=true [10]=true [15]=true ) declare -ar array2=( [20]=true [25]=true [30]=true ) declare -ar array_both=( ${array1[@]} ${array2[@]} ) key in ${!array_both[@]}; echo "array_both[${key}]=${array_both[${key}]}" done it gives following error: ./associative_arrays.sh: line 3: array_both: true: must use subscript when assigning associative array the following work-around came with: declare -ar array1=( [5]=true [10]=true [15]=true ) declare -ar array2=( [20]=true [25]=true [30]=true ) declare -a array_both=() key in ${!array1[@]}; ...
