A number of times I have been bitten by missing backslashes at the end
of lines. Automake does not warn. A typical example is:
if !HasX11
TESTS_X11_XFAIL_TESTS =
tests/rwblob_XWD_bilevel.sh \
tests/rwblob_XWD_gray.sh \
tests/rwblob_XWD_pallette.sh \
tests/rwblob_XWD_truecolor.sh \
tests/rwfile_XWD_bilevel.sh \
tests/rwfile_XWD_gray.sh \
tests/rwfile_XWD_pallette.sh \
tests/rwfile_XWD_truecolor.sh
endif
Is there a way that Automake can reasonably produce warnings in this
case?
Another issue with backslashes that I have encountered is that
Automake doesn't like them at the end of comment lines. It will issue
a diagnostic for
# some text \
# some more text \
It seems to me that the comment should override the line continuation
request.
