Make .o withe the same rule for both C and C++ files (newbie question)

[Stefan Karlsson]

Hello all,

I want to use the same rule for compiling both C and C++ files. Since I 
have a compiler with some peculiarities I cannot get away with just 
changing some variables and rely on the default rules.


Basically, instead of writing

 %.o: %.c
 the-rule

 %.o: %.cpp
 the-rule

I want to write something like

 %.o: %.c
 %.o: %.cpp
 the-rule


Is this possible? I'm a newbie, so please forgive me if this question is 
ultra-stupid.

You could do something like this

define c-and-c++-rule
the-rule
endef

%.o: %.c
$(c-and-c++-rule)

%.o: %.cpp
$(c-and-c++-rule)
