Another Style of Makefile

When the objects of a makefile are created only by implicit rules, an alternative style of makefile is possible. In this style of makefile, you group entries by their prerequisites instead of by their targets. Here is what one looks like: 

objects = main.o kbd.o command.o display.o \
-          insert.o search.o files.o utils.o
-
-edit : $(objects)
-        cc -o edit $(objects)
-
-$(objects) : defs.h
-kbd.o command.o files.o : command.h
-display.o insert.o search.o files.o : buffer.h
-
-

Here defs.h is given as a prerequisite of all the object files; command.h and buffer.h are prerequisites of the specific object files listed for them.

Whether this is better is a matter of taste: it is more compact, but some people dislike it because they find it clearer to put all the information about each target in one place.
