If set to `1`, ALE will run `make -n` to automatically determine flags to
set for C or C++ compilers. This can make it easier to determine the correct
build flags to use for different files.
+ WARNING: Running `make -n` automatically can execute arbitrary code, even
+ though it's supposed to be a dry run, so enable this option with care. You
+ might prefer to use the buffer-local version of the option instead with
+ |g:ale_pattern_options|, or you own code for checking which project you're
+ in.
+
You might want to disable this option if `make -n` takes too long to run for
projects you work on.
