- Too 7y agoA good makefile provides incremental builds in every possible scenario of source file changes. It's very easy to write bad makefiles that don't catch modified or removed header files, or even worse when code generation or other complicated build logic is involved. Because a lot of developers seem to think "random build fail? oh just do make clean" is an acceptable workaround.
