+  <h1 class="section">Pattern-specific Variable Values</h1>   <p>In addition to target-specific variable values (see <a href="target_002dspecific">Target-specific Variable Values</a>), GNU <code>make</code> supports pattern-specific variable values. In this form, the variable is defined for any target that matches the pattern specified. </p> <p>Set a pattern-specific variable value like this: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example"><var>pattern</var> … : <var>variable-assignment</var>
+</pre>
+</div> <p>where <var>pattern</var> is a %-pattern. As with target-specific variable values, multiple <var>pattern</var> values create a pattern-specific variable value for each pattern individually. The <var>variable-assignment</var> can be any valid form of assignment. Any command line variable setting will take precedence, unless <code>override</code> is specified. </p> <p>For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">%.o : CFLAGS = -O
+</pre>
+</div> <p>will assign <code>CFLAGS</code> the value of ‘<samp>-O</samp>’ for all targets matching the pattern <code>%.o</code>. </p> <p>If a target matches more than one pattern, the matching pattern-specific variables with longer stems are interpreted first. This results in more specific variables taking precedence over the more generic ones, for example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">%.o: %.c
+        $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $&lt; -o $@
+
+lib/%.o: CFLAGS := -fPIC -g
+%.o: CFLAGS := -g
+
+all: foo.o lib/bar.o
+</pre>
+</div> <p>In this example the first definition of the <code>CFLAGS</code> variable will be used to update <samp>lib/bar.o</samp> even though the second one also applies to this target. Pattern-specific variables which result in the same stem length are considered in the order in which they were defined in the makefile. </p> <p>Pattern-specific variables are searched after any target-specific variables defined explicitly for that target, and before target-specific variables defined for the parent target. </p><div class="_attribution">
