Expanding such a variable will yield the same result (empty string) regardless of whether it was set or not. However, if you are using the <code>flavor</code> (see <a href="flavor-function">Flavor Function</a>) and <code>origin</code> (see <a href="origin-function">Origin Function</a>) functions, there is a difference between a variable that was never set and a variable with an empty value. In such situations you may want to use the <code>undefine</code> directive to make a variable appear as if it was never set. For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">foo := foo -bar = bar - -undefine foo -undefine bar - -$(info $(origin foo)) -$(info $(flavor bar)) -</pre> -</div> <p>This example will print “undefined” for both variables. </p> <p>If you want to undefine a command-line variable definition, you can use the <code>override</code> directive together with <code>undefine</code>, similar to how this is done for variable definitions: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">override undefine CFLAGS -</pre> -</div><div class="_attribution"> - <p class="_attribution-p"> - Copyright © 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.<br> - <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Undefine-Directive.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Undefine-Directive.html</a> - </p> -</div> |
