Re: make-3.80: `eval' bug

[Paul Smith]

Hi;

After looking at the code I've determined that passing the "o" is not
sufficiently safe.  There are sections of the eval() function which call
variable_expand(), which will reset the variable_buffer setup.  So if
you put any of those in your expansion text you'll be sad.


So, I'm going with my original push/pop implementation.


I've also found another bug: if you use $(eval ...) inside a conditional
statement it fails!  Doh!  I'll fix this shortly.
