4.4.2.5 Continue (‘continue’)

continue [target {all|run|prereq}*]

Resume program execution until the next breakpoint or recursive make is called. If a target name is given, a temporary breakpoint is set there. Use info target to get a list of target names you can use.

A common mistake is giving a target already updated, so we will warn about that situation. It is possible to set a breakpoint on a target that subsequently never gets updated. In that situation the remake will also not stop. This is another cause of constant confusion, as you may expected (erroneously) that the program should have decided to update the target.
