makefile中的伪目标，强制目标和双冒号规则

----伪目标----

target ：

commands

如果makefile 所在目录没有target 同名文件：make target 则导致commands 总是被执行。

如果makefile 所在目录下存在target 同名文件：make target 则commands 不被执行，认为target 总是最新的。

 

.PHONY:target

target:

commands

不论makefile 所在目录下存不存在与target 同名文件，make target 导致commands 的执行，与上一种写法的区别是引用'.PHONY' 的意义所在。

 

-----强制目标-----

target:

因为没有命令，所以make target ，与makefile 所在目录下是否存在与target 同名的文件没有直接关系。

 

-----双冒号规则-----

target::

commands

无论makefile 所在目录下存不存在与target 同名文件，make target 导致commands 的执行，与使用'.PHONY' 定义的伪目标效果相同。

-----------------------------------------------------------------

----------1

.PHONY target

all:target

commands1

# 伪目标

target:

commands

----------2

all:target

commands1

# 伪目标

target:

commands

---------3

all:target

commands1

# 强制目标

target:

---------4

all:target

commands1

# 双冒号规则

target::

commands

 

1 和4make all 执行情况相同，无论makefile 所在目录下存不存在与target 同名文件,commands1 和commands 都被执行。

2 和3make all 执行情况在makefile 所在目录下存在与target 同名文件，commads 不被执行( 认为target 目标是最新的) ，commands1 将被执行；而如果不存在与target 同名的文件，则2 运行效果与1 和4 相同，3 运行将导致commands1 的执行。
