Bug#478584: g++-4.3: -MD -include and compiled headers does not work together
Package: g++-4.3
Version: 4.3.0-3
Severity: normal
Here is a bug I discovered with g++-4.3. Other compilers (gcc-4.3,
g++-4.2) are perhaps also affected. It seems to me (but I do not check
as well as for g++-4.3).
Here is what can be done to reproduce the problem:
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp$ mkdir test
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp$ cd test/
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ touch foo.cpp bar.h
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ g++-4.3 bar.h
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ g++-4.3 -include bar.h -MD -c foo.cpp
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ cat foo.d
foo.o: foo.cpp
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ g++-4.3 -include bar.h -M foo.cpp
foo.o: foo.cpp bar.h
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ rm bar.h.gch
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ g++-4.3 -include bar.h -MD -c foo.cpp
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ cat foo.d
foo.o: foo.cpp bar.h
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ g++-4.3 -fpch-deps bar.h
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ g++-4.3 -fpch-deps -include bar.h -MD -c foo.cpp
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$ cat foo.d
foo.o: foo.cpp
vdanjean@cayuga:/tmp/test$
=> using -fpch-deps does not help.
So it seems that using -include with a compiled header file and the -MD
option does not work.
The file with dependencies generated with -MD should have the bar.h
dependency.
I discover this bug because make (with autotools) did not behave
correctly in one of my project. I hope this bug can be fixed soon.
Best regards,
Vincent
