(Thank you to Rene and David.) Rene, Are you referring to the parsing phase?
Yes.
Such behavior would not seem so harmful there (to me anyway). But if I add some actions, they get done twice, which does seem very harmful.
Yep :-)
I mean, it's like the updating phase gets done twice, not just the parsing.
It's because it will faithfully execute actions any number of times they are defined/parsed. Sorry about not mentioning this before, but I was kinda busy at the time to go looking for the relevant bit of code. You can check which phase it's parsing by checking the "gIN_LIB_INCLUDE" variable. It will be set during the declare (first) phase.
Does bjam's behavior still seem OK to you?
Well that a relative judgment. It not the incorrect behavior, even though it doesn't seem OK either. BBv2 doesn't have this behavior.
(I realize that bjam is used all the time by a zillion people
I wish ;-)
I'm sorry to be taking everyone's time with this.)
