Subject: what type of assignments are the append and prepend operations?
Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 06:31:07 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1407090629030.3628@localhost> (raw)


  chapter 3 of bitbake user manual correctly discusses the difference
between "=" and ":=", but says nothing about what happens with all of
the other assignments such as .=, =., +=, =+, _append, _prepend. are
those what i would call immediate evaluation or delayed evaluation? i
think readers might want to know that.
