On. Every. Single. Run.
Yup.
- xyzzy_plugh 10y agoBut I love the built-in implicit rules. I use these frequently. Often, I write a little test program in C or C++. I name the file "foo.c". Then, to build it I simply type `make foo`. Sure the rules may be a bit stale, but there isn't much software i use today that I could use in a near identical manner 40 years ago. Make has truly stood the test of time.
