Sorry, but this has nothing to do with make.  You'll need to find a tool
that can parse C or C++ or whatever language you're using and apply
various heuristics to the code for the rules you want to enforce.

Once you have found such a tool, if you try to create a proper rule in
your makefile that will invoke it but can't figure it out, then we can
help with that.
