Description quetschke 2006-11-10 15:37:01 UTC 
If would be nice to have a new additional recipe switch (so far we have @%+-)
to indicate that we want to have the output supressed.

A replacement for lines like:

blah :
        @-$(RM) $@ >& $(NULLDEV)


What char should we use? Maybe two @ (@@)? How about: '>', or '&'?

I'll check how easy it is to use the @@ variant.
Comment 1 quetschke 2006-11-10 19:54:11 UTC 
I think I'm going to use the @@ aproach. Currently dmake doesn't complain about
multiple recipe switches,

blah :
        @@+echo blah

works fine (but no special meaning so far) so we don't even break compatibility
with this enhancement.

Hmm, it works but I have to make some more changes. We want

        @@+echo something > foo

and also

$(shell @@echo blah > bar)

to work as expected.

Comment 5 quetschke 2006-11-12 05:07:21 UTC 
The previous patch seems to work as expected. Committed to dmake47 but
we still need some documentation and a testcase.
Comment 6 quetschke 2006-11-13 20:41:35 UTC 
Committed documentation changes and testcases.

Please verify.

works fine. even shows up the output on "-v" which will help debugging makefiles :)
