I've seen several instances of the following make statement: all: all-before xyz all-after
where xyz is some filename usually of an executable or a library to be created. The "Complex Make File Example" in the gnu make documentation shows all: followed by a list of other targets. This makes sense to me, but I can't find anything in the gnu make documentation which describes all-before and all-after, and the makefiles I've seen elsewhere which include all-before and all-after don't include them as targets. A Google search on 'makefile "all-before" "all-after" ' will return several examples of what I'm talking about. (A similar question arises for the 'clean: clean-custom' make statement. What does 'clean-custom' do?) Can anyone help me understand what this statement and what all-before and all-after are doing? Thanks for the information.
