GNU Make does not have a rule for “*.c++” files, either. Do you have a reference to the advice to disable default rules? It sounds counterproductive to me.

- jchw 4y agoThere's lots of different opinions on how to use Make, but here's one. https://tech.davis-hansson.com/p/make/ https://tech.davis-hansson.com/p/make/

- jchw 4y agoThat's a sign that it's good :) Jokes aside though, the only major complaint people have is about .RECIPEPREFIX, which I also don't follow. I didn't read too many comments, but the top voted comments do not appear to take issue with the advice to disable built-in rules. I'd be surprised, since it is far from the first time I've heard that advice, and it never seemed very controversial.
