Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2020-11-17	Generalize dot escaping in target name rules	Boris Kolpackov	1	-45/+271
	Now triple dot and escape sequence can appear almost anywhere in the target name (see target::split_name() for details).
2020-09-24	Fix target declaration upgrade logic	Boris Kolpackov	1	-4/+8

2020-09-24	Give hints for common causes of "no rule to update ..." error	Boris Kolpackov	1	-13/+9

2020-08-13	Fix assertion failure in to_stream() for target key without extension	Karen Arutyunov	1	-2/+2
	Also fix a similar assertion.
2020-07-17	Add optimized derive_path_with_extension(), use in file_rule	Boris Kolpackov	1	-10/+19

2020-07-09	Add support for ad hoc importation	Boris Kolpackov	1	-67/+63

2020-06-29	Add legal{} target type and config.install.legal variable	Boris Kolpackov	1	-0/+13
	This allows separation of legal files (LICENSE, AUTHORS, etc) from other documentation. For example: ./: ... doc{README} legal{LICENSE} $ b install ... config.install.legal=/usr/share/licenses/hello/
2020-06-29	Use buildfile{} instead of build{} for target type	Boris Kolpackov	1	-1/+1
	This feels like an oversight from transitioning to full names, like testscript{}, etc.
2020-06-09	Handle empty target_key value (directory) in as_name()	Boris Kolpackov	1	-4/+10

2020-06-02	Add $target.process_path() analogous to $target.path()	Boris Kolpackov	1	-1/+1

2020-05-27	Initial support for ad hoc recipes (still work in progress)	Boris Kolpackov	1	-9/+5

2020-04-30	Factor recipe to separate header/source files	Boris Kolpackov	1	-7/+0

2020-04-27	Rework tool importation along with cli module	Boris Kolpackov	1	-0/+21
	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)"
2020-03-17	Rename all find(variable) to lookup(variable)	Boris Kolpackov	1	-13/+13
	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.
2020-02-07	Drop copyright notice from source code	Karen Arutyunov	1	-1/+0

2019-11-18	Add couple of sanity checks	Boris Kolpackov	1	-2/+1

2019-11-14	Make use of butl::to_stream(ostream, path, bool)	Karen Arutyunov	1	-2/+4

2019-09-04	Add support for native shared library versioning on Linux	Boris Kolpackov	1	-3/+9
	Now we can do: lib{foo}: bin.lib.version = linux@1.2 And end up with libfoo.so.1.2 libfoo.so.1 -> libfoo.so.1.2
2019-08-26	Implement updating build system modules	Boris Kolpackov	1	-0/+15

2019-08-23	Introduce notion of build context	Boris Kolpackov	1	-39/+69
	All non-const global state is now in class context and we can now have multiple independent builds going on at the same time.
2019-07-01	Split build system into library and driver	Boris Kolpackov	1	-0/+1260
