Completion script for Makefiles?

[DaelonSuzuka]

Is it possible to make a completion script that will scan for Makefile targets and provide autocompletion for them? I've tried reading the Clink docs and some of the scripts in this repo, but I don't know enough Lua to make heads or tails of it.

If somebody who knows how clink/lua work can tell me if the idea is even reasonable, I'd really appreciate it.

@DaelonSuzuka it's possible. It's a matter of making a parser for makefiles, to extract the targets. The Lua part is straightforward. Building logic for parsing makefiles reliably is where most of the effort would go.

I don't want to do that myself, but I would be happy to answer questions about Lua and Clink, to help someone else do it.

I would love to have makefiles completion as well.

This answer can be a start to get the logic to parse makefiles.
