Re: Breaking out of a foreach loop

[Mike Gibson]

Here's a first pass...Not tested as I don't care that much.

restwords = $(wordlist 2,$words($(1)),$(1))

# $(1) : word list
# $(2) : break function
# $(3) : statement
for_with_break = $(if $(call $(2),$(firstword $(1))),
        $(3) $(call f,$(call wordlist,$(1))))

$(call for_with_break,$(DIRS),some condition function,some statement)
