[cdt-dev] Does it need to perform cleaning before running a MakeTarget i

Hi,

I find that while I am building a MakeTarget, if the IConfiguration.needFullRebuild()(this method is called in CommonBuilder.performCleanning()) returns true, it will perform cleaning first. And this might cause a problem.

If the command of MakeTarget is “pwd”, I get the words below on the console.

**** Clean-only build of configuration Debug for project test ****

pwd clean

pwd: ignoring non-option arguments

/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/yzha107/runtime-EclipseApplication/test/Debug

**** Build of configuration Debug for project test ****

pwd

/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/yzha107/runtime-EclipseApplication/test/Debug

It seems that it uses the command “pwd” to clean the project. I wonder if it should execute the clean command in this situation while running a MakeTarget.

This problem is referring to Bug240616.
