RE: [RFC]serialize the output of parallel make?

[Hambridge, Philip J (ODP)]

I've not been following this thread too closely, but this may be
relevant:

d-logs

One aspect to this issue is that the compiler error messages appear
'mis-aligned' against the sources. I've worked around this for one build
system I maintain by making it automatically kick off another serial
build when a parallel build completes with errors. (This is fairly easy
as GNU make gets called from a front-end script that presents a simpler
interface to developers.) That way, the end result is a build transcript
that clearly shows the errors aligned with the source.

Regards,

Philip.

Subject: [RFC]serialize the output of parallel make?

As parallel make are becoming more and more popular,  can make
serialize the output of parallel make?

Make can redirect every parallelly issued shell's output to an
temporary file,  and output the stored output serially, as if in a
serial make.
