Specifically, now we can write:
{{ c++ 1 --
#include <map>
--
recipe
apply (action, target&) const override
{
...
}
}}
|
|
We are reusing the buildspec syntax for that.
|
|
|
|
Also deduce the recipe name.
|
|
This will allow us to deal with backward-incompatible changes to cxx_rule
interface and semantics.

Value subscript is only recognized in evaluation contexts (due to ambiguity
with wildcard patterns; consider: $x[123].txt) and should be unseparated from
the previous token. For example:
x = ($y[1])
x = (($f ? $y : $z)[1])
x = ($identity($y)[$z])

Specifically, now the following does the right thing:
print +foo
|
|
|
|
Specifically, now config.<tool> (like config.cli) is handled by the import
machinery (it is like a shorter alias for config.import.<tool>.<tool>.exe
that we already had). And the cli module now uses that instead of custom
logic.
This also adds support for uniform tool metadata extraction that is handled by
the import machinery. As a result, a tool that follows the "build2 way" can be
imported with metadata by the buildfile and/or corresponding module without
any tool-specific code or brittleness associated with parsing --version or
similar outputs. See the cli tool/module for details.
Finally, two new flavors of the import directive are now supported: import!
triggers immediate importation skipping any rule-specific logic while import?
is optional import (analogous to using?). Note that optional import is always
immediate. There is also the import-specific metadata attribute which can be
specified for these two import flavors in order to trigger metadata
importation. For example:
import? [metadata] cli = cli%exe{cli}
if ($cli != [null])
info "cli version $($cli:cli.version)"

While generally a bad idea, there are valid situations where this may happen,
such as a standalone build of the tests subproject in test-installed.
|
|
|

Note that the testscript parser (which derives from the buildfile parser) is
(still) not reset'able (this functionality is currently not needed so why
complicate things).

|
|
|
|
Note: not yet supported in the parser.

Now we consistently use term "lookup" for variable value lookup. At some
point we should also rename type lookup to binding and get rid of all the
lookup_type aliases.

Also document the new bracket expression ([...]) wildcard support.
|
|
Before:
x = [string null]
After:
x = [string, null]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now it should be possible to use `[]` for wildcard patterns, for example:
foo = foo.[hit]xx
Note that a leading bracket expression will still be recognized as attributes
and escaping or quoting it will inhibit pattern matching. To resolve this case
we need to specify an empty attribute list:
foo = [] [abc]-foo.cxx

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=-

This way any dependent tools (such as mt.exe that is invoked by link.exe)
are first search for in there.
