# GNU Make
Idiomatic Makefile patterns for C/C++ projects: phony targets, pattern rules, automatic dependency generation, and incremental-build hygiene. Grounded against GNU Make 4.4.
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The task writes or debugs a Makefile, sets up pattern rules or automatic dependency generation, manages `CFLAGS`/`LDFLAGS`, converts ad-hoc compile commands into a Makefile, or diagnoses incremental build failures. |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only `Makefile`/`*.mk` files and local build outputs; rollback is version control plus `make clean`. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | `make` runs the compiler and writes objects and binaries into the tree or build directory. |
| Done | `make` builds the target incrementally (a second run reports nothing to do) and `make clean` removes the outputs. |
