'update' contains 'date' and so creates 'contains a timestamp' issue

[bcm-at-zama]

Expected behaviour

Makefile

.PHONY: update_my_stuff
update_my_stuffv:

.PHONY: all
all:

.PHONY: clean
clean:

.PHONY: test
test:

fails with

  timestampexpanded   Variable "PHONY" possibly        2            
                      contains a timestamp and                      
                      should be simply expanded.                    

Actual behaviour

It should work.

The problem is that 'update' contains the word 'date', as in #38 and as fixed in #39. Notably, if you replace update_my_stuff by upda_te_my_stuff It works

I am in Docker so not sure it makes sense

ah I can see this happening. Thanks for reporting. I think in addition to making the matching a bit better we should probably also never treat .PHONY as a variable name anyways.

@mrtazz It's funny you mention that because I just happened to refactor it on my fork. I noticed it was treated as a SpecialVariable instead of what GNU Make calls "Special Built-in Target Names".

I was implementing a new rule for matching trailing whitespace after variables, and found that PHONY was being treated as a variable which was messing with how I was trying to match trailing comment patterns. So, I ended up refactoring the parser a bit. I noticed there are still some bugs with LineNumber being set off by 1 in some instances... Not sure why that is, and it's getting late so my brain's too tired to figure it out now.
