Subject: [RFC 01/19] kbuild: Fixes to rules for host-cshlib and host-cxxshlib
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2019 08:09:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <be2c361eac49ded2848b2a555b75e30cc3c24e71.1565676440.git-series.knut.omang@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.92d76bb4f6dcedc971d0b72a49e8e459a98bca54.1565676440.git-series.knut.omang@oracle.com>

C++ libraries interfacing to C APIs might sometimes need some glue
logic more easily written in C.
Allow a C++ library to also contain 0 or more C objects.

Also fix rules for both C and C++ shared libraries:
- C++ shared libraries depended on .c instead of .cc files
- Rules were referenced as -objs instead of the intended
  -cobjs and -cxxobjs following the pattern from hostprogs*.
