Domain-specific

• Topological Sorting
  • If a developer accidentally introduces a circular dependency — target X requires Y which requires X — make reports a "circular dependency dropped" warning, discards the offending prerequisite and continues the build rather than looping forever, telling the developer exactly which declarations are mutually blocking.

    This sourceDocuments GNU make's 'circular dependency dropped' message on detecting a loop in the prerequisite graph, with the offending prerequisite dropped, though the manual passage read does not itself say the build continues.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
