File: make.info, Node: Remaking Loaded Objects, Next: Loaded Object API, Prev: load Directive, Up: Loading Objects 12.2.2 How Loaded Objects Are Remade ------------------------------------ Loaded objects undergo the same re-make procedure as makefiles (*note How Makefiles Are Remade: Remaking Makefiles.). If any loaded object is recreated, then 'make' will start from scratch and re-read all the makefiles, and reload the object files again. It is not necessary for the loaded object to do anything special to support this. It's up to the makefile author to provide the rules needed for rebuilding the loaded object.
