sources := foo.c bar.c baz.s abc.h

    foo: $(sources)

            gcc $(filter %.c %.s,$(sources)) -o foo

says that foo depends of foo.c、bar.c、baz.s and ugh.h but only foo.c、bar.c and baz.s should be specified in the command to the compiler.

过滤出.c和.s 参加编译。

    objects := main1.o foo.o main2.o bar.o

    mains   := main1.o main2.o

the following generates a list which contains all the object files not in ‘mains’:

$(filter-out $(mains),$(objects))

实现了去除变量“objects”中“mains”定义的字串（文件名）功能。它的返回值为“foo.o bar.o”。
