[bug #51309] Determination of a file list from a single folder without changing the working directory

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #51309 (project make):

There's no question that


FOO := $(notdir $(wildcard Bau/*.txt))


is more efficient than:


~/Projekte> $(cd Bau && echo "echo $(ls *txt)")


because the latter involves starting a whole new shell (two, technically)
while the former is handled entirely within the make process with no fork/exec
operation required.

If you can show actual results where adding the notdir makes a significant
performance difference in a makefile environment we can reconsider, but I'm
not interested in adding new features duplicating existing capabilities
without proof that there's a real need.
