RE: Advanced Auto-Dependency Generation and Parallel Execution

[Josh Davidson]

I must be missing something:
            sed -e 's/#.*//' -e 's/^[^:]*: *//' -e 's/ *\\$$//' \
                -e '/^$$/ d' -e 's/$$/ :/' < $*.d >> $*.P; \

How is the "< $*.d >> $*.P" not redirecting STDIN to $*.d?

sed is not reading from the terminal.  It's reading from the output of
the previous command, through the pipe.  So, there is no worry here.
