2023-05-09Add support for dumping build system state in JSON format (GH issue #182)Boris Kolpackov1-0/+2
Specifically: 1. New --dump-format option. Valid values are `buildfile` and `json-v0.1`. 2. The --dump option now recognizes two additional values: `match-pre` and `match-post` to dump the state of pre/post-operations. The `match` value now only triggers dumping of the main operation.

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"
