See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16659294/different-output-in-makefile-rule

In the following Makefile


f = echo $(1)

t:
<TAB>   $(call f,"a \
            b"); \
        $(call f,"a \
            b")


  • there is only one TAB, at the beginning of line 4 (the first

   `call f')

  • no blanks at the end of the lines
  • > 8 blanks in line 5 (12 in the example, no problem if <= 8)


The output is


a b
a  b


The two calls are identical (except for the initial TAB). Why the output are different ?
