[bug #51338] Support for construction patterns by make functions

[Markus Elfring]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #51338 (project make):

> …, but I can't tell exactly what aspects of the current capabilities you
want to be different.

This one is more a feature request.


> That's not a design,

But I find that a selection of two rules could fit into this area.

Yes, this is also true.

Can the make function library be an update candidate?


> … examples of a new makefile syntax …

I expressed such a desire in other issues. But this issue belongs more to the
clarification for general design patterns of the make software.


> … you spend a huge amount of time …

It is a simple approach so far. The efforts might increase as usual during our
constructive dialogue.


> … so they must be more than just a slightly different way to get the same
results.

Can you get into the mood to clarify the application of design/construction
patterns a bit more for make?
