Automake::Rule - support for rules definitions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Automake::Rule;
  use Automake::RuleDef;


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This package provides support for Makefile rule definitions.

An C<Automake::Rule> is a rule name associated to possibly
many conditional definitions.  These definitions are instances
of C<Automake::RuleDef>.

Therefore obtaining the value of a rule under a given
condition involves two lookups.  One to look up the rule,
and one to look up the conditional definition:

  my $rule = rule $name;
  if ($rule)
    {
      my $def = $rule->def ($cond);
      if ($def)
	{
	  return $def->location;
	}
      ...
    }
  ...

when it is known that the rule and the definition
being looked up exist, the above can be simplified to

  return rule ($name)->def ($cond)->location; # do not write this.

but is better written

  return rrule ($name)->rdef ($cond)->location;

or even

  return rruledef ($name, $cond)->location;

The I<r> variants of the C<rule>, C<def>, and C<ruledef> methods add
an extra test to ensure that the lookup succeeded, and will diagnose
failures as internal errors (with a message which is much more
informative than Perl's warning about calling a method on a
non-object).

=item C<%dependencies>

Holds the dependencies of targets which dependencies are factored.
Typically, C<.PHONY> will appear in plenty of F<*.am> files, but must
be output once.  Arguably all pure dependencies could be subject to
this factoring, but it is not unpleasant to have paragraphs in
Makefile: keeping related stuff altogether.

=cut

our %dependencies;

=item <%actions>

Holds the factored actions.  Tied to C<%dependencies>, i.e., filled
only when keys exists in C<%dependencies>.

=cut

our %actions;

=item C<$KNOWN_EXTENSIONS_PATTERN>

Pattern that matches all know input extensions (i.e. extensions used
by the languages supported by Automake).  Using this pattern (instead
of '\..*$') to match extensions allows Automake to support dot-less
extensions.

New extensions should be registered with C<accept_extensions>.

  # consider these extensions equivalent to '.$(OBJEXT)'.  We
  # CANNOT rewrite the target (i.e., automagically replace '.o'
  # and '.obj' by '.$(OBJEXT)' in the output), or warn the user
  # that (s)he'd better use '.$(OBJEXT)', because Automake itself

=item C<@conds = define ($rulename, $source, $owner, $cond, $where)>

Define a new rule.  C<$rulename> is the list of targets.  C<$source>
is the filename the rule comes from.  C<$owner> is the owner of the
rule (C<RULE_AUTOMAKE> or C<RULE_USER>).  C<$cond> is the
C<Automake::Condition> under which the rule is defined.  C<$where> is
the C<Automake::Location> where the rule is defined.

Returns a (possibly empty) list of C<Automake::Condition>s where the
rule's definition should be output.
