They are meant to be used in $(filter-out) as patterns to match the names of third-party source files. Also, the paragraph before that talks about "I did this", but claiming credit is much less important than why we are doing this in the first place, which you forgot to say (perhaps because you were too deeply into the task and the motivation was too obvious to you). So, if I were doing this patch, I'd justify the whole thing as such: Some files in our codebase are borrowed from other projects, and minimally updated to suit our own needs. We'd sometimes need to tell our own sources and these third-party sources apart for management purposes (e.g. we may want to be less strict about coding style and other issues on third-party files). Define the $(MAKE) variable THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES that can be used to match names of third-party sources. > > +THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES += compat/inet_ntop.c > +THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES += compat/inet_pton.c > +THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES += compat/obstack.% > +THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES += compat/nedmalloc/% > +THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES += compat/poll/% > +THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES += compat/regex/% > +THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES += sha1collisiondetection/% > +THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES += sha1dc/% Before this block, please explain that this is meant to be a list of patterns suitable for $(filter-out) and friends in a comment. Thanks.
