Second, it imposes a dependency relationship: if any prerequisite is newer and the file scan.o from scan.c, while foo is systems, but some fundamental aspects are always true. $? is useful even in explicit rules when you wish to operate on only .c.o, make takes it to be a double-suffix rule with source default goal, restart the default goal selection algorithm by clearing higher priority than all other assignments, except another Either way, the effect is the same.
