@ede{} is the Emacs Development Environment: an Emacs extension that
simplifies building and debugging programs in Emacs.  It attempts to
emulate a typical IDE (Integrated Development Environment).  @ede{}
can manage or create your makefiles and other building environment
duties, allowing you to concentrate on writing code rather than
support files.  It aims to make it much easier for new programmers to
learn and adopt GNU ways of doing things.

@chapter @ede{} Project Concepts

@ede{} is a generic interface for managing projects.  It specifies a
single set of menus and keybindings, while supporting multiple ways to
express a project via a build system.

In the subsequent chapters, we will describe the different project
types (@pxref{Creating a project}), as well as the commands to build
and debug projects (@pxref{Building and Debugging}).

In @ede{}, a project hierarchy matches a directory hierarchy.  The
project's topmost directory is called the @dfn{project root}, and its
subdirectories are @dfn{subprojects}.

Each project can contain multiple @dfn{targets}.  A target, at the
simplest level, is a named collection of files within a project.  A
target can specify two different types of information:

@enumerate
@item
A collection of files to be added to a distribution (e.g., a tarball
that you intend to distribute to others).

@item
A collection of files that can be built into something else (e.g., a
program or compiled documentation).
@end enumerate

Lastly, @ede{} provides a way for other tools to easily learn file
associations.  For example, a program might need to restrict some sort
of search to files in a single target, or to discover the location of
documentation or interface files.  @ede{} can provide this
information.

@node EDE Mode, Creating a project, EDE Project Concepts, top
@chapter @ede{} Mode

@ede{} is implemented as a minor mode, which augments other modes such
as C mode, and Texinfo mode.  You can enable @ede{} for all buffers by
running the command @code{global-ede-mode}, or by putting this in your
init file:

@example
(global-ede-mode t)
@end example

Activating @ede{} adds a menu named @samp{Development} to the menu
bar.  This menu provides several menu items for high-level @ede{}
commands.  These menu items, and their corresponding keybindings, are
independent of the type of project you are actually working on.

@node Creating a project, Modifying your project, EDE Mode, top
@chapter Creating a project

To create a new project, first visit a file that you want to include
in that project.  If you have a hierarchy of directories, first visit
a file in the topmost directory.  From this buffer, type @kbd{M-x
ede-new}, or click on the @samp{Create Project} item in the
@samp{Development} menu.

The @command{ede-new} command prompts for the type of project you
would like to create.  Each project type has its own benefits or
language specific enhancements.  @ede{} supports four different
project types: @samp{Make}, @samp{Automake}, @samp{direct Automake},
and @samp{Simple}.

@itemize
@item
For the @samp{Make} project type, @ede{} creates a @dfn{project file},
called @file{Project.ede}, in each project directory.  Information
about the project is stored in this file.  This project autogenerates
a @file{Makefile}.

@item
For the @samp{Automake} project type, @ede{} creates a
@file{Project.ede} project file similar to a @samp{Make} project.
Unlike a @samp{Make} project, this project autogenerates a
@file{Makefile.am} file.  @ede{} handles the Automake bootstrapping
routines, which import and maintain a @file{configure.am} script and
other required files.

@item
For the @samp{direct Automake} project type, @ede{} reads directly
from the Automake files.

You cannot create direct Automake projects with the @command{ede-new}
command.  Instead, when you visit a project with existing Automake
files, @ede{} automatically detects them.

@item
The @samp{Simple} project type provides light-weight constructs for
identifying a project root and looking up files.  If you already have
a non-@ede{} project infrastructure, you can use a @samp{Simple}
project to provide other Emacs packages, such as Semantic, with some
information about the project.  @xref{Simple projects}.
@end itemize

A subproject is merely a project in a subdirectory of another project.
You can create a subproject by using the @command{ede-new} command (or
the @samp{Create Project} menu item), while visiting a buffer in a
subdirectory of the project root.  This new project is automatically
added to the parent project, and will be automatically loaded when
@ede{} reads the parent project.

When using a project command that involves a makefile, @ede{} uses
the top-most project's makefile as a starting place for the build.  How
the toplevel project handles subprojects in the build process is
dependent on that project's type.

@node Modifying your project, Building and Debugging, Creating a project, top
@chapter Modifying your project

In this chapter, we describe the generic features for manipulating
projects, including the targets and files within them.  Subsequent
chapters, which describe specific project types, will provide more
detailed information about exactly what these features do.

* Add/Remove files::

@end menu

@node Add/Remove target, Add/Remove files, Modifying your project, Modifying your project
@section Add/Remove target

To create a new target, type @kbd{C-c . t} (@code{ede-new-target}) or
use the @samp{Add Target} menu item in the @samp{Project Options}
submenu.  This prompts for a target name, and adds the current buffer
to that target.

The @command{ede-new-target} command also prompts for a @dfn{target
type}.  Each target type has its own build process and class of files
that it will accept.

To remove a target from the project, type @kbd{M-x ede-delete-target},
or use the @samp{Remove Target} menu item in the @samp{Project
Options} submenu.

@node Add/Remove files, Customize Features, Add/Remove target, Modifying your project
@section Add/Remove files

To add the current file to an existing target, type @kbd{C-c . a}
(@code{ede-add-file}), or use the @samp{Add File} menu item in the
@samp{Target Options} submenu.

You can add a file to more than one target; this is OK.

To remove the current file from a target, type @kbd{C-c . d}
(@code{ede-remove-file}), or use the @samp{Remove File} menu item
in the @samp{Target Options} submenu.  If the file belongs to multiple
targets, this command prompts for each target it could be removed
from.

While working in a project, if you visit a file that is not part of an
existing target, @ede{} automatically prompts for a target.  If you do
not wish to add the file to any target, you can choose @samp{none}.
You can customize this behavior with the variable
@command{ede-auto-add-method}.

@node Customize Features, EDE Project Features, Add/Remove files, Modifying your project
@section Customize Features

A project, and its targets, are objects using the @samp{EIEIO} object
system.  @xref{Top,,,eieio,EIEIO manual}.  These objects have data
fields containing important information related to your work.

If the high-level functions aren't enough, you can tweak all
user-customizable fields at any time by running the command
@command{customize-project} or @command{customize-target}.  This loads
the current project or target into a customization buffer, where you
can tweak individual slots.  This is usually necessary for complex
projects.

Some project modes do not have a project file, but directly read a
Makefile or other existing file.  Instead of directly editing the
object, you can edit the file by typing @kbd{C-c . e}
(@code{ede-edit-file-target}).  You should ``rescan'' the project
afterwards (@pxref{Miscellaneous commands}).

@node EDE Project Features,  , Customize Features, Modifying your project
@section EDE Project Features

This section details user facing features of an @ede{} @samp{Make}
style project.  An @samp{Automake} project has similar options (but a
direct Automake project does not).

To modify any of the specific features mentioned here, you need to
customize the project or target with @command{customize-project} or
@command{customize-target}.

When you are customizing, you are directly manipulating slot values in
@eieio{} objects.  @xref{Extending EDE}, if you are interested in
additional details.

@menu
* Changing Compilers and Flags::
* Configurations::
@end menu

@node Changing Compilers and Flags, Configurations, EDE Project Features, EDE Project Features
@subsection Changing Compilers and Flags

Targets that build stuff need compilers.  To change compilers, you
need to customize the desired target.

In the @samp{[Make]} section, you can choose a new compiler or linker
from the list.  If a linker you need is not available, you will need
to create a new one.  @xref{Compiler and Linker objects}.

If an existing compiler or linker is close, but you need to modify
some flag set such as adding an include path you will need to add a
configuration variable.

To start, you should create the basic setup, and construct a makefile
with @command{ede-proj-regenerate}.  Look in the @file{Makefile} to
see what commands are inserted.  Once you have determined the variable
you need to modify, you can add a configuration for it.
@xref{Configurations}.

@node Configurations,  , Changing Compilers and Flags, EDE Project Features
@subsection Configurations

Configurations specify different ways to build a project.  For
example, you may configure a project to be in ``debug'' mode, or
perhaps in ``release'' mode.

The project, and each target type all have a slot named
@code{configuration-variables}.  To add new variables to a
configuration find this slot in the custom buffer, and insert a new
configuration.  Name it either ``debug'' or ``release'', then insert
some number of name/value pairs to it.

You can have any number of valid configurations too.  To add a new
configuration, customize your project.  Work in the @samp{[Settings]}
block for ``configurations''.  Add a new named configuration here.

To switch between different active configurations, modify the
``configuration default'' slot.

@node Building and Debugging, Miscellaneous commands, Modifying your project, top
@chapter Building and Debugging

@ede{} provides the following ``project-aware'' compilation and
debugging commands:

@table @kbd
@item C-c . c
Compile the current target (@code{ede-compile-target}).
@item C-c . C
Compile the entire project (@code{ede-compile-project}).
@item c-c . D
Debug the current target (@code{ede-debug-target}).
@item M-x ede-make-dist
Build a distribution file for your project.
@end table

These commands are also available from the @samp{Development} menu.

@node Miscellaneous commands, Simple projects, Building and Debugging, top
@chapter Miscellaneous commands

If you opt to go in and edit @ede{} project files directly---for
instance, by using @kbd{C-c . e} (@pxref{Customize Features})---you
must then ``rescan'' the project files to update the internal data
structures.  To rescan the current project, type @kbd{C-c . g}
(@code{ede-rescan-toplevel}).

@ede{} can help you find files in your project, via the command
@kbd{C-c . f} (@code{ede-find-file}).  This prompts for a file name;
you need not specify the directory.  EDE then tries to visit a file
with that name somewhere in your project.

@ede{} can use external tools to help with file finding.  To do this,
customize @code{ede-locate-setup-options}.

@defvar ede-locate-setup-options
@anchor{ede-locate-setup-options}
List of locate objects to try out by default.
Listed in order of preference.  If the first item cannot be used in
a particular project, then the next one is tried.
It is always assumed that @dfn{ede-locate-base} is at end of the list.
@end defvar

@ede{} also provides a project display mode for the speedbar
(@pxref{Speedbar,,,emacs,GNU Emacs Manual}).  This allows you to view
your source files as they are structured in your project: as a
hierarchical tree, grouped according to target.

To activate the speedbar in this mode, type @kbd{C-c . s}
(@code{ede-speedbar}).

@node Simple projects, Extending EDE, Miscellaneous commands, top
@section Simple Projects

There is a wide array of Simple projects.  The root for simple
projects is the class @code{ede-simple-project}.  This handles the
infrastructure of storing a .ede file if needed.

The class @code{ede-simple-project} is designed to be subclassed.
Then key @ede{} methods can be overridden to provide a quick wrapper
over any project.

A second project type is @code{ede-cpp-root}.  This project type is
designed to be created for a directory hierarchy full of C/C++ code.
It can be configured with minimal lisp knowledge to do header file
lookup for @semantic{}, improving code completion performance.

@menu

* ede-simple subclassing:: Create your own simple project.

* ede-linux::           A project for working with Linux kernels.

@end menu

@node ede-cpp-root
@subsection ede-cpp-root

The @code{ede-cpp-root} project type allows you to create a single
object with no save-file in your @file{.emacs} file.  It allows @ede{}
to provide the @semantic{} package with the ability to find header
files quickly.

The @code{ede-cpp-root} class knows a few things about C++ projects,
such as the prevalence of "include" directories, and typical
file-layout stuff.  If this isn't sufficient, you can subclass
@code{ede-cpp-root-project} and add your own tweaks in just a few
lines.  See the end of this file for an example.

In the most basic case, add this to your @file{.emacs} file, modifying
appropriate bits as needed.

@example
(ede-cpp-root-project "SOMENAME" :file "/dir/to/some/file")
@end example

Replace @var{SOMENAME} with whatever name you want, and the filename
to an actual file at the root of your project.  It might be a
Makefile, a README file.  Whatever.  It doesn't matter.  It's just a
key to hang the rest of @ede{} off of.

The most likely reason to create this project, is to speed up
searching for includes files, or to simplify bootstrapping @semantic{}'s
ability to find files without much user interaction.  In conjunction
with @semantic{} completion, having a short include path is key.  You can
override the default include path and system include path like this:

@example
(ede-cpp-root-project "NAME" :file "FILENAME"
    :include-path '( "/include" "../include" "/c/include" )
    :system-include-path '( "/usr/include/c++/3.2.2/" )
    :spp-table '( ("MOOSE" . "")
                  ("CONST" . "const") ) )
@end example

 In this case each item in the include path list is searched.  If the
directory starts with "/", then that expands to the project root
directory.  If a directory does not start with "/", then it is
relative to the default-directory of the current buffer when the file
name is expanded.

 The include path only affects C/C++ header files.  Use the slot
@code{:header-match-regexp} to change it.

The @code{:system-include-path} allows you to specify full directory
names to include directories where system header files can be found.
These will be applied to files in this project only.

The @code{:spp-table} provides a list of project specific #define
style macros that are unique to this project, passed in to the
compiler on the command line, or are in special headers.
See the @code{semantic-lex-c-preprocessor-symbol-map} for more
on how to format this entry.

If there is a single file in your project, you can instead set the
@code{:spp-files} to a list of file names relative to the root of your
project.  Specifying this is like setting the variable
@code{semantic-lex-c-preprocessor-symbol-file} in semantic.

If you want to override the file-finding tool with your own
function you can do this:

@example
(ede-cpp-root-project "NAME" :file "FILENAME" :locate-fcn 'MYFCN)
@end example

Where @var{MYFCN} is a symbol for a function.  The locate function can
be used in place of @code{ede-expand-filename} so you can quickly
customize your custom target to use specialized local routines instead
of the default @ede{} routines.  The function symbol must take two
arguments:

@table @var
@item NAME
The name of the file to find.
@item DIR
The directory root for this cpp-root project.
@end table


If the cpp-root project style is right for you, but you want a dynamic
loader, instead of hard-coding path name values in your @file{.emacs}, you
can do that too, but you will need to write some lisp code.

To do that, you need to add an entry to the
@code{ede-project-class-files} list, and also provide two functions to
teach @ede{} how to load your project pattern

It would look like this:

@example
(defun MY-FILE-FOR-DIR (&optional dir)
  "Return a full file name to the project file stored in DIR."
  <write your code here, or return nil>
  )

(defun MY-ROOT-FCN ()
  "Return the root fcn for `default-directory'"
  ;; You might be able to use `ede-cpp-root-project-root'
  ;; and not write this at all.
  )

(defun MY-LOAD (dir)
  "Load a project of type `cpp-root' for the directory DIR.
Return nil if there isn't one."
  ;; Use your preferred construction method here.
  (ede-cpp-root-project "NAME" :file (expand-file-name "FILE" dir)
                               :locate-fcn 'MYFCN)
  )

(add-to-list 'ede-project-class-files
             (ede-project-autoload "cpp-root"
              :name "CPP ROOT"
              :file 'ede-cpp-root
              :proj-file 'MY-FILE-FOR-DIR
              :proj-root 'MY-ROOT-FCN
              :load-type 'MY-LOAD
              :class-sym 'ede-cpp-root)
             t)
@end example

This example only creates an auto-loader, and does not create a new kind
of project.

@node ede-emacs
@subsection ede-emacs

tree, and enables EDE project mode for it.

It pre-populates the C Preprocessor symbol map for correct parsing,

@node Custom Locate
@subsection Custom Locate

The various simple project styles all have one major drawback, which
is that the files in the project are not completely known to EDE.
When the EDE API is used to try and file files by some reference name
in the project, then that could fail.

@@TODO - Add ID Utils and CScope examples

@ede{} can therefore use some external locate commands, such as the unix
``locate'' command, or ``GNU Global''.

Configuration of the tool you want to use such as @code{locate}, or
@code{global} will need to be done without the aid of @ede{}.  Once
configured, however, @ede{} can use it.

To enable one of these tools, set the variable
@code{ede-locate-setup-options} with the names of different locate
objects.  @ref{Miscellaneous commands}.

Configure this in your @file{.emacs} before loading in CEDET or EDE.
If you want to add support for GNU Global, your configuration would
look like this:

@example
(setq ede-locate-setup-options '(ede-locate-global ede-locate-base))
@end example

That way, when a search needs to be done, it will first try using
GLOBAL.  If global is not available for that directory, then it will
revert to the base locate object.  The base object always fails to
find a file.

You can add your own locate tool but subclassing from
@code{ede-locate-base}.  The subclass should also implement two
methods.  See the code in @file{ede-locate.el} for GNU Global as a
simple example.

@node Extending EDE, , Simple projects, top
@chapter Extending @ede{}

This chapter is intended for users who want to write new parts or fix
bugs in @ede{}.  A knowledge of Emacs Lisp, and some @eieio{}(CLOS) is
required.

@ede{} uses @eieio{}, the CLOS package for Emacs, to define two object
superclasses, specifically the PROJECT and TARGET.  All commands in
@ede{} are usually meant to address the current project, or current
target.

All specific projects in @ede{} derive subclasses of the @ede{}
superclasses.  In this way, specific behaviors such as how a project
is saved, or how a target is compiled can be customized by a project
author in detail.  @ede{} communicates to these project objects via an
API using methods.  The commands you use in @ede{} mode are high-level
functional wrappers over these methods.  @xref{(eieio)Top}. For
details on using @eieio{} to extending classes, and writing methods.

If you intend to extend @ede{}, it is most likely that a new target type is
needed in one of the existing project types.  The rest of this chapter
will discuss extending the @code{ede-project} class, and it's targets.
See @file{project-am.el} for basic details on adding targets to it.

For the @code{ede-project} type, the core target class is called
@code{ede-proj-target}.  Inheriting from this will give you everything
you need to start, including adding your sources into the makefile.  If
you also need additional rules in the makefile, you will want to inherit
from @code{ede-proj-target-makefile} instead.  You may want to also add
new fields to track important information.

If you are building currently unsupported code into a program or shared
library, it is unlikely you need a new target at all.  Instead you
would need to create a new compiler or linker object that compiles
source code of the desired type. @ref{Compiler and Linker objects}.

Once your new class exists, you will want to fill in some basic methods.
See the @file{ede-skel.el} file for examples of these.  The files
@file{ede-proj-info.el} and @file{ede-proj-elisp.el} are two interesting
examples.

@node Base project methods
@section Base project methods

These methods are important for querying base information from project
and target types:

@table @code
@item ede-name
Return a string that is the name of this target.
@item ede-target-name
Return a string that is the name of the target used by a Make system.
@item ede-description

by the @samp{ede-speedbar} interface.
@item ede-want-file-p
Return non-nil if a target will accept a given file.
It is generally unnecessary to override this.  See the section on source
code.
@item ede-buffer-mine
Return non-nil if a buffer belongs to this target.  Used during
association when a file is loaded.  It is generally unnecessary to
override this unless you keep auxiliary files.
@end table

These methods are used by the semantic package extensions @xref{(semantic)Top}.

@table @code
@item ede-buffer-header-file
Return a header file belonging to a given buffer.  Prototypes are place
there when appropriate
@item ede-buffer-documentation-files
Return the documentation file information about this file would be
stored in.
@item ede-documentation
List all documentation a project or target is responsible for.
@end table

@node Sourcecode objects
@section Sourcecode objects

@ede{} projects track source file / target associates via source code
objects.  The definitions for this is in @file{ede-source.el}.  A source
code object contains methods that know how to identify a file as being
of that class, (ie, a C file ends with @file{.c}).  Some targets can
handle many different types of sources which must all be compiled
together.  For example, a mixed C and C++ program would have
instantiations of both sourcecode types.

When a target needs to know if it will accept a source file, it
references its list of source code objects.  These objects then make
that decision.

Source code objects are stored in the target objects as a list of
symbols, where the symbol's value is the object.  This enables the
project save file mechanism to work.

Here is an example for an instantiation of an Emacs Lisp source code object:

@example
(defvar ede-source-emacs
  (ede-sourcecode "ede-emacs-source"
                  :name "Emacs Lisp"
                  :sourcepattern "\\.el$"
                  :garbagepattern '("*.elc"))
  "Emacs Lisp source code definition.")
@end example

If you want to recycle parts of an existing sourcecode object, you can
clone the original, and then just tweak the parts that are different.
For example:

@example
(defvar ede-source-emacs-autoload
  (clone ede-source-emacs "ede-source-emacs-autoload"
         :name "Emacs Lisp Autoload"
         :sourcepattern "-loaddefs\\.el")
  "Emacs Lisp autoload source code.")
@end example

In this case, the garbage pattern is the same.

@node Compiler and Linker objects
@section Compiler and Linker objects

In order for a target to create a @file{Makefile}, it must know how to
compile the sources into the program or desired data file, and
possibly link them together.

A compiler object instantiation is used to associate a given target
with a given source code type.  Some targets can handle many types of
sources, and thus has many compilers available to it.  Some targets
may have multiple compilers for a given type of source code.

@ede{} will examine the actual source files in a target, cross reference
that against the compiler list to come up with the final set of
compilers that will be inserted into the Makefile.

Compiler instantiations must also insert variables specifying the
compiler it plans to use, in addition to creating Automake settings for
@file{configure.in} when appropriate.

Compiler objects are stored in the target objects as a list of
symbols, where the symbols value is the object.  This enables the
project output mechanism to work more efficiently.

Targets will also have a special "compiler" slot which lets a user
explicitly choose the compiler they want to use.

Here is an example for texinfo:

@example
(defvar ede-makeinfo-compiler
  (ede-compiler
   "ede-makeinfo-compiler"
   :name "makeinfo"
   :variables '(("MAKEINFO" . "makeinfo"))
   :commands '("makeinfo -o $@ $<")
   :autoconf '(("AC_CHECK_PROG" . "MAKEINFO, makeinfo"))
   :sourcetype '(ede-makeinfo-source)
   )
  "Compile texinfo files into info files.")
@end example

@xref{Compilers}.

When creating compiler instantiations, it may be useful to @code{clone}
an existing compiler variable.  Cloning allows you to only modify
parts of the original, while keeping the rest of the same.
Modification of the original will result in the clone also being
changed for shared value slots.

The second important object is the linker class.  The linker is similar
to the compiler, except several compilers might be used to create some
object files, and only one linker is used to link those objects together.

See @file{ede-proj-obj.el} for examples of the combination.

@table @asis
@item Slots:

@table @code
@item :include-path
Type: @code{list} @*
Default Value: @code{(quote ("/include" "../include/"))}

The default locate function expands filenames within a project.
If a header file (.h, .hh, etc) name is expanded, and
the @code{:locate-fcn} slot is @code{nil}, then the include path is checked
first, and other directories are ignored.  For very large
projects, this optimization can save a lot of time.

Directory names in the path can be relative to the current
buffer's @code{default-directory} (not starting with a /).  Directories
that are relative to the project's root should start with a /, such
as  "/include", meaning the directory @code{include} off the project root
directory.
@refill

@item :system-include-path
Type: @code{list} @*
Default Value: @code{nil}

The system include path for files in this project.
C files initialized in an ede-cpp-root-project have their semantic
system include path set to this value.  If this is @code{nil}, then the
semantic path is not modified.
@refill

@item :spp-table
Type: @code{list} @*
Default Value: @code{nil}

C Preprocessor macros for your files.
Preprocessor symbols will be used while parsing your files.
These macros might be passed in through the command line compiler, or
are critical symbols derived from header files.  Providing header files
macro values through this slot improves accuracy and performance.
Use `:spp-files' to use these files directly.
@refill

@item :spp-files
Type: @code{list} @*
Default Value: @code{nil}

C header file with Preprocessor macros for your files.
The PreProcessor symbols appearing in these files will be used while
parsing files in this project.
See @code{semantic-lex-c-preprocessor-symbol-map} for more on how this works.
@refill

@item :header-match-regexp
Type: @code{string} @*

Default Value: @code{nil}

The locate function can be used in place of
@dfn{ede-expand-filename} so you can quickly customize your custom target
to use specialized local routines instead of the EDE routines.
The function symbol must take two arguments:
  NAME - The name of the file to find.
  DIR - The directory root for this cpp-root project.

It should return the fully qualified file name passed in from NAME.  If that file does not
exist, it should return nil.

For example, GCC would define CC=gcc, and emacs would define EMACS=emacs.
@refill

@item :sourcetype
Type: @code{list}

A list of @code{ede-sourcecode} @xref{ede-sourcecode}. objects this class will handle.
This is used to match target objects with the compilers and linkers
they can use, and which files this object is interested in.
@refill

@item :rules
Type: @code{list} @*
Default Value: @code{nil}

Auxiliary rules needed for this compiler to run.
For example, yacc/lex files need additional chain rules, or inferences.
@refill

@item :commands
Type: @code{list}

The commands used to execute this compiler.
The object which uses this compiler will place these commands after
it's rule definition.
@refill

@item :autoconf
Type: @code{list} @*
Default Value: @code{nil}

Autoconf function to call if this type of compiler is used.
When a project is in Automake mode, this defines the autoconf function to
call to initialize automake to use this compiler.
For example, there may be multiple C compilers, but they all probably
use the same autoconf form.
@refill

@item :objectextention
Type: @code{string}

A string which is the extension used for object files.
For example, C code uses .o on unix, and Emacs Lisp uses .elc.
