2019-11-04Add $config.export() functionBoris Kolpackov11-85/+174
This is similar to the config.export variable functionality except it can be called from within buildfiles. Note that this function can only be used during configure unless the config module creation was forced for other meta-operations with config.module=true in bootstrap.build.
2019-11-04Add support for configuration exporting and importingBoris Kolpackov17-176/+416
The new config.export variable specifies the alternative file to write the configuration to as part of the configure meta-operation. For example: $ b configure: proj/ config.export=proj-config.build The config.export value "applies" only to the projects on whose root scope it is specified or if it is a global override (the latter is a bit iffy but we allow it, for example, to dump everything to stdout). This means that in order to save a subproject's configuration we will have to use a scope-specific override (since the default will apply to the outermost amalgamation). For example: $ b configure: subproj/ subproj/config.export=.../subproj-config.build This could be somewhat unnatural but then it will be the amalgamation whose configuration we normally want to export. The new config.import variable specifies additional configuration files to be loaded after the project's default config.build, if any. For example: $ b create: cfg/,cc config.import=my-config.build Similar to config.export, the config.import value "applies" only to the project on whose root scope it is specified or if it is a global override. This allows the use of the standard override "positioning" machinery (i.e., where the override applies) to decide where the extra configuration files are loaded. The resulting semantics is quite natural and consistent with command line variable overrides, for example: $ b config.import=.../config.build # outermost amalgamation $ b ./config.import=.../config.build # this project $ b !config.import=.../config.build # every project Both config.export and config.import recognize the special `-` file name as an instruction to write/read to/from stdout/stdin, respectively. For example: $ b configure: src-prj/ config.export=- | b configure: dst-prj/ config.import=-

Failed that, we may have long periods of seemingly nothing happening (e.g., during implicit bdep sync) while we quietly update the module, which may look like things have hung up.

2019-10-18Add $quote() function for quoting valuesBoris Kolpackov3-8/+59
This can be useful if we want to pass a value on the command line, for example, in a testscript: $* config.cxx=$quote($recall($cxx.path) $cxx.mode, true)
2019-10-18Add ability to specify "compiler mode" options as part of config.{c,cxx}Boris Kolpackov15-235/+402
Such options are (normally) not overridden by buildfiles and are passed last (after cc.coptions and {c,cxx}.coptions) in the resulting command lines. They are also cross-hinted between config.c and config.cxx. For example: $ b config.cxx="g++ -m64"
