Summary: Why backslash line continuation introduce an extra
space
Project: make
Submitted by: None

Operating System: Any
Fixed Release: None
_______________________________________________________
Details:
For GNUmake 3.81 and 3.80:
For a makefile like this:
{code}
nlap = a\n\
b
$(warning $(nlap))
nlappend:
echo -e "$(nlap)" > out.dat
{code}
The generated out.dat has the following content(represented in hex):
========
61 0A 20 62 0A
========
You can see a space introduced in the value of `nlap'. Is this by design? I
hope it's not -- but a bug, since the user wants only line-continuation, not
an extra space. If he wants an extra space, he can add it himself.
