Chapter 10: Using Implicit Rules 121
$% The target member name, when the target is an archive member. See
Chapter 11 [Archives], page 129. For example, if the target is foo.a(bar.o)
then ‘$%’ is bar.o and ‘$@’ is foo.a. ‘$%’ is empty when the target is not an
archive member.
$< The name of the first prerequisite. If the target got its recipe from an implicit
rule, this will be the first prerequisite added by the implicit rule (see Chapter 10
[Implicit Rules], page 111).
$? The names of all the prerequisites that are newer than the target, with spaces
between them. For prerequisites which are archive members, only the named
member is used (see Chapter 11 [Archives], page 129).
$^ The names of all the prerequisites, with spaces between them. For prerequisites
which are archive members, only the named member is used (see Chapter 11
[Archives], page 129). A target has only one prerequisite on each other file it
depends on, no matter how many times each file is listed as a prerequisite. So
if you list a prerequisite more than once for a target, the value of $^ contains
just one copy of the name. This list does not contain any of the order-only
prerequisites; for those see the ‘$|’ variable, below.
$+ This is like ‘$^’, but prerequisites listed more than once are duplicated in the
order they were listed in the makefile. This is primarily useful for use in linking
commands where it is meaningful to repeat library file names in a particular
order.
$| The names of all the order-only prerequisites, with spaces between them.
$* The stem with which an implicit rule matches (see Section 10.5.4 [How Patterns
Match], page 122). If the target is dir/a.foo.b and the target pattern is a.%.b
then the stem is dir/foo. The stem is useful for constructing names of related
files.
In a static pattern rule, the stem is part of the file name that matched the ‘%’
in the target pattern.
In an explicit rule, there is no stem; so ‘$*’ cannot be determined in that way.
Instead, if the target name ends with a recognized suffix (see Section 10.7 [Old-
Fashioned Suffix Rules], page 125), ‘$*’ is set to the target name minus the
suffix. For example, if the target name is ‘foo.c’, then ‘$*’ is set to ‘foo’, since
‘.c’ is a suffix. GNU make does this bizarre thing only for compatibility with
other implementations of make. You should generally avoid using ‘$*’ except in
implicit rules or static pattern rules.
If the target name in an explicit rule does not end with a recognized suffix, ‘$*’
is set to the empty string for that rule.
‘$?’ is useful even in explicit rules when you wish to operate on only the prerequisites
that have changed. For example, suppose that an archive named lib is supposed to contain
copies of several object files. This rule copies just the changed object files into the archive:
lib: foo.o bar.o lose.o win.o
ar r lib $?
