41 Automake::Rule - support for rules definitions
43 =head1 SYNOPSIS
45 use Automake::Rule;
46 use Automake::RuleDef;
49 =head1 DESCRIPTION
51 This package provides support for Makefile rule definitions.
53 An C<Automake::Rule> is a rule name associated to possibly
54 many conditional definitions. These definitions are instances
55 of C<Automake::RuleDef>.
57 Therefore obtaining the value of a rule under a given
58 condition involves two lookups. One to look up the rule,
59 and one to look up the conditional definition:
61 my $rule = rule $name;
62 if ($rule)
64 my $def = $rule->def ($cond);
65 if ($def)
67 return $def->location;
69 ...
71 ...
73 when it is known that the rule and the definition
74 being looked up exist, the above can be simplified to
76 return rule ($name)->def ($cond)->location; # do not write this.
78 but is better written
80 return rrule ($name)->rdef ($cond)->location;
82 or even
84 return rruledef ($name, $cond)->location;
86 The I<r> variants of the C<rule>, C<def>, and C<ruledef> methods add
87 an extra test to ensure that the lookup succeeded, and will diagnose
88 failures as internal errors (with a message which is much more
89 informative than Perl's warning about calling a method on a
90 non-object).
