If a circular dependency existed, would a compiler catch it?
I.e.
mod A uses mod B
mod B uses mod C
mod C uses mod A
I have a script that searches files containing source code, detects
dependencies and then automatically generates the makefile. It has
been working perfectly the last few months, but all of the sudden
a problem has arrisen: make will compile the entire code every time
on one machine, on another a group of files will recompile
every time, even if the executable has just been 'made'.
Although I haven't been able to find one I'm guessing that I have
a circular dependency in my code, it's the only explanation I can
think of.
thanks again
