- Here goes anyway
-
- Apply & User defined functions.
-
- SYNTAX
-
- $(apply funcname, arg1, arg2, .. )
-
- SEMANTICS
-
- You can specify a builtin function, for funcname, eg
-
- f = addprefix
- $(apply addprefix,a, b c d)
-
- This will result in
-
- ab ac ad
-
- You can specify your own functions, eg
-
- funcname=BODY
-
- BODY contains $(1) .. $(N) as argument markers.
- upon expansions the strings ARG1 .. ARGN are substituted for $(1) .. $(N)
- into BODY
-
- Because the funcname is computed as well you can combine this do some
- funky things, eg
-
- map=$(foreach a, $(2), $(apply $(1), $(a)))
-
-
- LIMITATIONS.
-
- Make has no support for nested lists (or tuples), so you can't do
- stuff like (Haskell notation):
-
- f :: (a,b) -> c -- type of F
- map :: (a->b) -> [a] -> b -- type of MAP
-
- map f [(1,2), (2,3)] -- map F over list containing (1,2) and (2,3)
-
- to get
-
- [f (1, 2), f (2, 3)]
-
-
- If only we had nested lists and quotes, we could duplicate LISP in make by
- transforming
-
- $(a, b, c) <-> (a b c)
- $(quote $(a, b, c)) <-> '(a b c)
-
- (or something alike ;-) (We could have automatic integration of
- GUILE and make :-)
-
- [Actually -- why should this be a joke? If we could somehow integrate the
- rules and targets into a functional model make could be a lot cleaner in
- concept. ]

+@findex apply
+@cindex functions, user defined
+@cindex user defined functions
+
+The @code{apply} function is unique in that it can be used to create new
+parameterized functions. You can write a complex expression as the
+value of a variable, then use @code{apply} to expand it with different
+values.
+
+The syntax of the @code{apply} function is:
+
+@example
+$(apply @var{variable}, @var{param}, @var{param}, @dots{})
+@end example
+
+When @code{make} expands this function, it assigns each @var{param} to
+temporary variables @var{$(1)}, @var{$(2)}, etc. The variable
+@var{$(0)} will contain @var{variable}. There is no maximum number of
+parameter arguments. There is no minimum, either, but it doesn't make
+sense to use @code{apply} with no parameters.
+
+Then @var{variable} is expanded as a @code{make} variable in the context
+of these temporary assignments. Thus, any reference to @var{$(1)} in
+the value of @var{variable} will resolve to the first @var{param} in the
+invocation of @code{apply}.
+
+Note that @var{variable} is the @emph{name} of a variable, not a
+@emph{reference} to that variable. Therefore you would not normally use
+a @samp{$} or parentheses when writing it. (You can, however, use a
+variable reference in the name if you want the name not to be a
+constant.)
+
+If @var{variable} is the name of a builtin function, the builtin function
+is always invoked (even if a @code{make} variable by that name also
+exists).
+
+Some examples may make this clearer.
+
+This macro simply reverses its arguments:
+
+@smallexample
+reverse = $2 $1
+
+foo = a b
+bar = $(apply reverse,$(foo))
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+Here @var{bar} will contain @samp{b a}.
+
+This one is slightly more interesting: it defines a macro to search for
+the first instance of a program in @code{PATH}:
+
+@smallexample
+pathsearch = $(firstword $(wildcard $(addsufix /$1,$(subst :, ,$(PATH)))))
+
+LS := $(apply pathsearch,ls)
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+Now the variable LS contains @code{/bin/ls} or similar.
+
+The @code{apply} function can be nested. Each recursive invocation gets
+its own local values for @var{$(1)}, etc. that mask the values of
+higher-level @code{apply}. For example, here is an implementation of a
+@dfn{map} function:
+
+@smallexample
+map = $(foreach a,$2,$(apply $1,$a))
+@end smallexample
+
+Now you can @var{map} a function that normally takes only one argument,
+such as @code{origin}, to multiple values in one step:
+
+@smallexample
+o = $(apply map,origin,o map MAKE)
+@end smallexample
+
+and end up with @var{o} containing something like @samp{file file default}.
+
+A final caution: be careful when adding whitespace to the arguments to
+@code{apply}. As with other functions, any whitespace contained in the
+second and subsequent arguments is kept; this can cause strange
+effects. It's generally safest to remove all extraneous whitespace when
+defining variables for use with @code{apply}.
