// file : libbuild2/build/script/builtin.cli // license : MIT; see accompanying LICENSE file include ; // Note that options in this file are undocumented because we generate neither // the usage printing code nor man pages. Instead, they are documented in the // manual. // namespace build2 { namespace build { namespace script { // Pseudo-builtin options. // class depdb_dyndep_options { // Note that --byproduct or --dyn-target, if any, must be the first // option and is handled ad hoc. // // Similarly, --update-{include,exclude} are handled ad hoc and must // be literals, similar to the -- separator. They specify prerequisite // targets/patterns to include/exclude (from the static prerequisite // set) for update during match (those excluded will be updated during // execute). The order in which these options are specified is // significant with the first target/pattern that matches determining // the result. If only the --update-include options are specified, // then only the explicitly included prerequisites will be updated. // Otherwise, all prerequisites that are not explicitly excluded will // be updated. If none of these options is specified, then all the // static prerequisites are updated during match. Note also that these // options do not apply to ad hoc prerequisites which are always // updated during match. // // Note that in the future we may extend --cwd support to the non- // byproduct mode where it will also have the `env --cwd` semantics // (thus the matching name). Note that it will also be incompatible // with support for generated files (and thus -I) at least in the make // format where we use relative paths for non-existent files. // // Currently Supported dependency formats (--format) are `make` // (default) and `lines`. // // The `make` format is the make dependency declaration in the // `...: [...]` form. In the non-byproduct mode // a relative prerequisite path is considered non-existent. // // The `lines` format lists targets and/or prerequisites one per line. // If the --dyn-target option is specified then the target list is // expected to come first separated from the prerequisites list with a // blank line. If there are no prerequisites, then the blank line can // be omitted. If the --dyn-target option is not specified, then all // lines are treated as prerequisites and there should be no blank // lines. In the non-byproduct mode a prerequisite line that starts // with a leading space is considered a non-existent prerequisite. // Currently only relative non-existent prerequisites are supported. // Finally, in this mode, if the prerequisite is syntactically a // directory (that is, it ends with a trailing directory separator), // then it is added as fsdir{}. This can be used to handle situations // where the dynamic targets are placed into subdirectories. // // Note on naming: whenever we (may) have two options, one for target // and the other for prerequisite, we omit "prerequisite" as that's // what we extract by default and most commonly. For example: // // --what --target-what // --default-type --target-default-type // path --file; // Read from file rather than stdin. string --format; // Dependency format: `make` (default), // or `lines`. // Dynamic dependency extraction options. // string --what; // Prerequisite kind, e.g., "header". dir_paths --include-path|-I; // Search paths for generated // prerequisites. string --default-type; // Default prerequisite type to use if // none could be derived from extension. bool --adhoc; // Treat dynamically discovered // prerequisites as ad hoc (so they // don't end up in $<; only in the // normal mode). dir_path --cwd; // Builtin's working directory used // to complete relative paths of // prerequisites (only in --byproduct // mode, lines format for existing // paths). bool --drop-cycles; // Drop prerequisites that are also // targets. Only use if you are sure // such cycles are harmless, that is, // the output is not affected by such // prerequisites' content. // Dynamic target extraction options. // // This functionality is enabled with the --dyn-target option. Only // the make format is supported, where the listed targets are added as // ad hoc group members (unless already specified as static members). // This functionality is not available in the byproduct mode. // string --target-what; // Target kind, e.g., "source". string --target-default-type; // Default target type to use if none // could be derived from extension. map // Extension to target type mapping in --target-extension-type; // the = form, for example, // h=hxx. This mapping is considered // before attempting to automatically // map the extension and so can be used // to resolve ambiguities. dir_path --target-cwd; // Builtin's working directory used to // complete relative paths of targets. }; } } }
