Could anyone familiar with the internals of Jam tell
me whether or not there is a maximum line length for
an action. The reason I ask is because we have a java
compilation action that has a line that just reached 1023
characters (before variable expansion). When we recently
modified the action increasing the length of this very long
line, Jam would no longer run the action, even if a target
was out of date. When we remove our new additions to the
long line in the action, the action is run on the out-of-date
targets.
