Instead of overriding this function, derived targets must now set the
dynamic_type variable to their static_type in their constructor body.
|
|
|
|
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.
|

Note that the unmatch (match but do not update) and match (update during
match) values are only supported by certain rules (and potentially only for
certain prerequisite types).
Additionally:
- All operation-specific variables are now checked for false as an override
for the prerequisite-specific include value. In particular, this can now be
used to disable a prerequisite for update, for example:
./: exe{test}: update = false
- The cc::link_rule now supports the update=match value for headers and ad hoc
prerequisites. In particular, this can be used to make sure all the library
headers are updated before matching any of its (or dependent's) object
files.

Our current semantics is to clean any prerequisites that are in the same
project (root scope) as the target and it may seem more natural to rather only
clean prerequisites that are in the same base scope. While it's often true for
simple projects, in more complex cases it's not unusual to have common
intermediate build results (object files, utility libraries, etc) reside in
the parent and/or sibling directories. With such arrangements, cleaning only
in base (even from the project root) may leave such intermediate build results
laying around (since there is no reason to list them as prerequisites of any
directory aliases). So we clean in the root scope by default but now any
target-prerequisite relationship can be marked not to trigger a clean with the
clean=false prerequisite-specific value.

An ad hoc pattern rule consists of a pattern that mimics a dependency
declaration followed by one or more recipes. For example:
exe{~'/(.*)/'}: cxx{~'/\1/'}
{{
$cxx.path -o $path($>) $path($<[0])
}}
If a pattern matches a dependency declaration of a target, then the recipe is
used to perform the corresponding operation on this target. For example, the
following dependency declaration matches the above pattern which means the
rule's recipe will be used to update this target:
exe{hello}: cxx{hello}
While the following declarations do not match the above pattern:
exe{hello}: c{hello} # Type mismatch.
exe{hello}: cxx{howdy} # Name mismatch.
On the left hand side of `:` in the pattern we can have a single target or an
ad hoc target group. The single target or the first (primary) ad hoc group
member must be a regex pattern (~). The rest of the ad hoc group members can
be patterns or substitutions (^). For example:
<exe{~'/(.*)/'} file{^'/\1.map/'}>: cxx{~'/\1/'}
{{
$cxx.path -o $path($>[0]) "-Wl,-Map=$path($>[1])" $path($<[0])
}}
On the left hand side of `:` in the pattern we have prerequisites which can
be patterns, substitutions, or non-patterns. For example:
<exe{~'/(.*)/'} file{^'/\1.map/'}>: cxx{~'/\1/'} hxx{^'/\1/'} hxx{common}
{{
$cxx.path -o $path($>[0]) "-Wl,-Map=$path($>[1])" $path($<[0])
}}
Substitutions on the left hand side of `:` and substitutions and non-patterns
on the right hand side are added to the dependency declaration. For example,
given the above rule and dependency declaration, the effective dependency is
going to be:
<exe{hello} file{hello.map>: cxx{hello} hxx{hello} hxx{common}

All non-const global state is now in class context and we can now have
multiple independent builds going on at the same time.
