I don't know if it's actually saner than just normal phonys but man I like it. What does it get you other than the ability to print the list of all phonys?

- matheusmoreira 2y agoIt's mostly so I can immediately see which targets are phonies. Every phony has a line directly above it adding it to the list of phonies. When a makefile gets complex enough we need all the help we can get. I use phony targets so much I wrote a shell script to parse the makefile database dump into some sort of help text. It doesn't depend on that variable at all. https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/~/.local/bin/phony-targets https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/~/.loca... Prints output like: phony1 phony2 dependency1 dependency2
