It would really help out a Synopsys synthesis environment that I'm developing (and I would think the gmake community at large) if gmake had an "optional" prerequisite capability. I would suggest the following format:

    target : prerep1 prereq2 [opt_prereq1] [opt_prerep2]

Gmake would treat an optional prereq like this:

  • If the optional prereq can be created via a rule, create the optional prereq and treat it like a normal prerep. If the prerep is newer than the target, the target is out of date.


  • If the optional prereq cannot be created via a rule, don't complain. Instead, procede as normal as if the optional prereq was not part of the target rule.
