Linux: 时间戳

开发中会存在如下情况，为了防止可能的改动错误，先将要改动的源码备份，新代码有问题时，再还原回原先OK的代码。

如果此时选择仅仅重新build而没有clean，则实际上并没有build原先的代码。

而此时误以为已经还原到原先的代码，就会范很多很傻的错误 ...

这里就是时间戳的问题：只要目标文件比依赖文件(源文件)新，那么就不会重新编译。

比如换回原先的代码，然后执行mmm：

rzzhang@rzzhang-HOME:~/Android/Source$ mmm packages/apps/Settings

============================================
PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL
PLATFORM_VERSION=4.0.1
TARGET_PRODUCT=full
TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng
TARGET_BUILD_TYPE=release
TARGET_BUILD_APPS=
TARGET_ARCH=arm
TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT=armv7-a
HOST_ARCH=x86
HOST_OS=linux
HOST_BUILD_TYPE=release
BUILD_ID=ITL41D
============================================
make: Entering directory `/home/rzzhang/Android/Source'
make: Nothing to be done for `all_modules'.
make: Leaving directory `/home/rzzhang/Android/Source'

咋办？

要编译的源码里随便找个源文件，改一下，保存，再改回去，OK，重新编译：

rzzhang@rzzhang-HOME:~/Android/Source$ mmm packages/apps/Settings
============================================
PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL
PLATFORM_VERSION=4.0.1
TARGET_PRODUCT=full
