digitalmars.D - dmake - clean?

Hello. I've been using dmake for a bit and I like it.
I was wondering, could there be some option for dmake
that deletes all object files created from the main program?
maybe like 'dmake main.d -clean'
:-)
thx

Hum no. -build just rebuilds the whole project. It still leaves around a 
lot of little object files all over the place.

That would be simple to do. 

Is this important for you?

Questions:

A: What to delete:
  (1) delete those object files that have been created during the make?
  (2) delete all object files that have an corresponding sourcefile?

B: Should 
  (3) -clean be a separate step [this could only go with (2)]
  (4) -clean be combinable with make (default) and -build

(1)+(4) would leave you with just a single new executable

(2)+(3||4) would delete all object files that can be recompiled

==

For information: Derek Parnell programmed a much extended version 
of dmake (800 => 1400 LOC) that contains a lot of new options.
The only problem is that I've currently not the time to test it.
I suggested to publish it as a fork, but he prefers to wait.

I've taken the liberty of modifying your program to do this already. I'm 
curious to see if you would suggest a better way about doing it. Can I 
post it here or is there somewhere else you would like me to send it?

I think the source is too long to post it here.
Send it to me and all who request it.

Yes..
I used the following options in my update.


 A: What to delete:
   (2) delete all object files that have an corresponding sourcefile?


[snip]

 B: Should 
   (3) -clean be a separate step [this could only go with (2)]

A: delete object files created from make
B: seperate step.

I'd use it as a quick way to clean out the directories of object files 
so i can zip it or add it to svn. :-)

commandline zip should have options to select or suppress extensions.

svn should be configurable that object files (certain extensions
or wildcard patterns) aren't transferred.
