I interpreted this description in the way that one placeholder would be supported for each element in the list of prerequisites. > …; the `%' matches any nonempty substring, while other characters match only > themselves. > ----- How do you think about to mention the requirement “non-empty string” at another place? https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Pattern-Match.html > There's no restriction in the documention on the number of prequisites on > the rule and they may contain any mix of pattern and non-pattern names. I find that this wording can be only partly appropriate. * Is there a current software restriction that only a single pattern is supported within the prerequisites list for a specific make rule? * Will any more developers become interested in related software extensions?
