Android Makefile中的filter和filter-out

1.filter

$(filter word1 word2,$(VARIANTS))
判断变量VARIANTS中是否包含word1和 word2，如果包含就把VARIANTS中包含的word1和word2之外的过滤掉

示例：
VARIANTS := mon tue wed thu fri sat sun
DAY := $(filter sat sun,$(VARIANTS))
$(info $(DAY))  #$(warning ****** $(DAY) ******)

输出结果为：
sat sun

2.filter-out

$(filter-out word1 word2,$(VARIANTS))
判断变量VARIANTS中是否包含word1和 word2，如果包含就把VARIANTS中包含的word1和word2过滤掉，其余的全部保留

示例：
VARIANTS := mon tue wed thu fri sat sun
DAY := $(filter-out sat sun,$(VARIANTS))
$(info $(DAY))  #$(warning ****** $(DAY) ******)

输出结果为：
mon tue wed thu fri 

$(filter pattern…,text)
Returns all whitespace-separated words in text that do match any of the pattern words, removing any words that do not match. The patterns are written using ‘%’, just like the patterns used in the patsubst function above.

The filter function can be used to separate out different types of strings (such as file names) in a variable. For example:

sources := foo.c bar.c baz.s ugh.h
foo: $(sources)
        cc $(filter %.c %.s,$(sources)) -o foo
says that foo depends of foo.c、bar.c、baz.s and ugh.h but only foo.c、bar.c and baz.s should be specified in the command to the compiler.

$(filter-out pattern…,text)
Returns all whitespace-separated words in text that do not match any of the pattern words, removing the words that do match one or more. This is the exact opposite of the filter function.

For example, given:

objects := main1.o foo.o main2.o bar.o
mains   := main1.o main2.o

$(filter-out $(mains),$(objects))
The above generates a list which contains all the object files not in ‘mains’. It returns “foo.o bar.o”.
