Hello, It seems that the implicit rule that updates archive members is not reflected in the current documentation (doc/make.texi:9489). The rule in question is in the form of,
(%): % $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $< I also do not think this falls into the platform-dependent rules, which are explicitly excluded from the list. Therefore, I doubt whether the omission is intended or not. This is my first time posting on this list and please accept my apologies for any trouble :-X Best regards, Hu Jialun
