Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2022-09-16	Register fallback dist meta-operation rule for out of project targets	Boris Kolpackov	1	-1/+11
	The problematic scenario this fixes is an ad hoc pattern rule (which we register for dist in order to inject any additional sources; see parser.cxx for details) that pulls a tool imported from the system (say /usr/bin/xxd).
2022-09-06	Add ability to remap paths in distribution	Boris Kolpackov	1	-1/+20
	Specifically, the dist target-specific variable now can specify a path besides true or false. This path is the "imaginary" source location which is used to derive the corresponding distribution local. This location can be either a directory path (to remap with the same file name) or a file path (to remap with a different name). If the path is relative, then it's treated relative to the target directory. Note that to make things less error prone, simple paths without any directory separators are not allowed (use ./<name> instead). Note that if multiple targets end up with the same source location, the behavior is undefined and no diagnostics is issued. Note also that such remapping has no effect in the bootstrap distribution mode.
2022-05-06	Minor terminology fix in diagnostics and comments	Boris Kolpackov	1	-1/+1

2022-04-06	Add support for rule hints	Boris Kolpackov	1	-1/+1
	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.
2021-04-07	Register environment variables for hermetic build configurations	Boris Kolpackov	1	-0/+22

2020-09-29	Add bootstrap distribution mode (!config.dist.bootstrap=true)	Boris Kolpackov	1	-37/+83
	In this mode the dist meta-operation does not load the project (but does bootstrap it) and adds all the source files into the distribution only ignoring files and directories that start with a dot. This mode is primarily meant for situation where the project cannot (yet) be loaded due to missing dependencies.
2020-08-16	Add ability to initialize bootstrapped modules after loading root.build	Boris Kolpackov	1	-3/+1

2020-03-31	Switch to project variable visibility by default	Boris Kolpackov	1	-9/+6

2020-03-17	Rework config::{omitted,required,optional}() into unified config_lookup()	Boris Kolpackov	1	-8/+11

2020-02-07	Drop copyright notice from source code	Karen Arutyunov	1	-1/+0

2020-01-29	Rename module_base to module, redo module boot/init argument passing	Boris Kolpackov	1	-6/+3

2020-01-28	Use scope::var_pool()	Boris Kolpackov	1	-1/+1

2020-01-28	Use scope::insert_rule()	Boris Kolpackov	1	-2/+2

2019-11-04	Add $config.export() function	Boris Kolpackov	1	-2/+1
	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.
2019-08-23	Introduce notion of build context	Boris Kolpackov	1	-1/+1
	All non-const global state is now in class context and we can now have multiple independent builds going on at the same time.
2019-07-24	Move in build system module to separate library	Boris Kolpackov	1	-2/+8

2019-07-05	Move config, dist, test, and install modules into library	Karen Arutyunov	1	-0/+192
