Re: [Boost-users] UPDATE rules
I thought that's how Boost.Build always worked.
That *may* be how Boost.Build works. I don't know. I don't use it. I only use BJAM. Version 3.1.18 added these lines to jam.c: if (!targets_to_update()) mark_target_for_updating("all"); Thus, if no target is defined on the command line, it force it to "all." These lines do not exist in 3.1.17.

I am sorry, but while Boost.Jam might looked like a seperate tool, it was never such. It was always a build engine component of Boost.Build, and is mostly merged with Boost.Build in trunk. Therefore, the UPDATE rule is an implementation detail of Boost.Build, and there's no promise to make it backward compatible.
