2022-04-06Add support for rule hintsBoris Kolpackov1-0/+11
A rule hint is a target attribute, for example: [rule_hint=cxx] exe{hello}: c{hello} Rule hints can be used to resolve ambiguity when multiple rules match the same target as well as to override an unambiguous match.
2022-03-28Add ability to customize pkg-config header and library search pathsBoris Kolpackov1-6/+27
Specifically, {cc,c,cxx}.pkgconfig.{include,lib} variables specify header (-I) and library (-L) search paths to use in the generated .pc files instead of the default install.{include,lib}. Relative paths are resolved as install paths.

2022-03-23Make project configuration variables non-nullable by defaultBoris Kolpackov1-11/+20
A project configuration variable with the NULL default value is naturally assumed nullable, for example: config [string] config.libhello.fallback_name ?= [null] Otherwise, to make a project configuration nullable we use the `null` variable attribute, for example: config [string, null] config.libhello.fallback_name ?= "World"

2021-09-20Assign pre-defined semantics to config.<project>.develop variablesBoris Kolpackov1-0/+33
This variable allows a project to distinguish between development and consumption builds. While normally there is no distinction between these two modes, sometimes a project may need to provide additional functionality during development. For example, a source code generator which uses its own generated code in its implementation may need to provide a bootstrap step from the pre-generated code. Normally, such a step is only needed during development. See "Project Configuration" in the manual for details.
