Hi,
I am between jobs which made me realise that I am absolutely free to
contribute to make for about 10 days :-)
The one thing I have wanted the most and the longest is a way to add
new functions without having to rebuild and look after a custom
version of make. Essentially this should allow
I like this idea quite a bit.
I see this as still work in progress to define what type of functions the
plugins can have.
Maybe they can even create or change make variables.
In the case of variable_buffer_output, I'd suggest that each plugin has an
'initialization function'. This is a

A few years ago I suggested a plugin architecture much like this (but
I didn't supply a patch - crucial difference), to allow a plugin to
make the up-to-date determination, replacing the hardwired timestamp
system. That could in theory be quite useful as it would allow an MD5
or similar signature

Hi Tim;
Before going too much further note that I've got a semi-implemented
load operator in my source already, which fulfills a similar function
except in a less sophisticated way: it just calls a function in the
loaded object

I see the value in a plugin system as being that I don't have to
recompile the plugins for every version of make. In a way it's tending
towards why bother if you did have to do that.
Well, this kind of combines with my other issue regarding
