Description
Electric Make (eMake) allows you to control the manner in which the history file will be used by the build.
-
Read mode means that eMake reads the history file if present but not update it when the build finishes.
-
Create mode means that eMake reads the history file if present and replaces it with a new history file containing only the discovered dependencies from the current build when the build finishes.
-
Merge mode means that eMake reads the history file if present and add discovered dependencies from the current build when the build finishes, if those dependencies are not already present in the history file.
You may explicitly choose which of these modes to use with the --emake-history command-line option.
