[Bash-completion-devel] Fwd: Make completion improvement

[Tristan Wibberley]

Hi,

The attached patch to "make" completion will offer hidden targets if the
commandline has a partial completion for it (ie, the user has begun typing
the hidden rule name).

Rules in subdirectories continue to be considered hidden until the partial
completion begins the hidden filename within the subdirectory, ie:

Makefile:
############
.hiddenfile1:
.hiddendir1/:
.hiddendir1/.hiddenfile2:
../file3:
############

$ make <tab><tab>
no completions offered
$ make .<tab><tab>
offers ../ .hiddenfile1, .hiddendir1 and .hiddendir1/
$ make ../<tab><tab>
offers ../file3
$ make .hiddendir1/<tab><tab>
no completions offered
$ make .hiddendir1/.<tab><tab>
offers .hiddenfile2

I found this very useful when working with multiple directories and
intermediate hidden marker files. Please apply.

Regards,
Tristan Wibberley
