Re: Checking application of dependencies from make rules without recipes

I have got another software development concern.

The section “Canceling implicit rules” of the documentation mentions something
about the omission of recipes (or do they become “empty”?).
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Canceling-Rules.html

The wording “… override a built-in implicit rule (or one you have defined 
yourself) …”
might need another clarification.
Does the distinction with explicit make rules result in special consequences 
here?
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Makefile-Contents.html#index-explicit-rule_002c-definition-of

Can an explicit make rule also be cancelled anyhow?
