A build could require more than one map to be active at once. This
change allows more than one map to be set. An example is gcc and
newlib. Having separate maps allows a user to control which part
they test.
Add support to use a git cloned repo as the source. Move the download
code out of the build module and into a separate module. Add to this
module support for git.
Update the GCC common configuration to support using a symlinked
git repo.
Add checks for all languages.
Added a check in the options post processing to check is the
prefix path allows writes. No actual write check is made. just
the permissions are checked. If the --no-install options is
used the check is not made.
Moved the --no-install option from the set builder to the options
module.
User macro files passed on the command line allow a user to
override the defaults in configuration files to test new changes
in pending releases.
Fix macros issues with keys with more than one map.
Package descritions and info and now always added to macros.
Hack to get the source in macros into the source this. This needs
to move to the package class and will soon.
Fix a bug where the old defines was still referenced.
Add a read and write map pointer. This means you can read from a
user defined map through to the global map while pointing all
write to only the global map therefore supporting overrides
cleanly.
Print the list of loaded files when printing.
Provide helper calls for type and attributes.
To support building snapshots and pre-release source the defaults
has been refactored. The defaults have been moved to a stand alone
file and a macros.py module added. This modile abstracts the
old default dictionary turning it into a class. The macros
class can load macros from a file therefore the defaults have
been moved to a stand alone file.
The use of defaults has been removed from the project. The only
case where it is used in the options where the defaults are read
from a file. Macros are used everywhere now.
The defaults.py has been moved to the option.py and the separate
options and defaults values has been moved to a new pattern. When
constructing an object that needs macros and options if the macros
passed in is None the defaults from the options are used. This makes
it clear when the defaults are being used or when a modified set of
macros is being used.
The macros class support maps. The default is 'global' and where all
the defaults reside and where configuratiion file changes end up.
Maps allow macros to be read from a file and override the values
being maintained in the 'global' map. Reading a macro first checks
the map and if not present checks the 'global' map.
The addition of maps to the macros provides the base to support
snapshots and pre-release testing with standard configurations.
This functionality needs to be added. It works by letting to
specify a snapshot with:
source0: none, override, 'my-dist.tar.bz2'
and it will be used rather the value from the standard configuration.
With a build set you need to also specify the package these macros
are for. The maps provide this.
Refactor the options handling in defaults.py to allow the --jobs
option have varing specific parameters. The option supports 'none',
'max' and 'half' or a fraction to divide the number of CPUs or
an integer value which is the number of jobs. The --no-smp has
been removed.
The host specific modules have been changed to set the number of
CPUs in the defaults table.
Fixed the --keep-going to clean up is --always-clean is provided
even if the build has an error.
Add support to build MinGW tools using Cygwin. This is a Canadian cross
build.
Do not expand the directives when parsing a configuration file. Hold
in the package object the text as read from the configuration file. Still
parse the logic but leave the macros. This allows a configuration to be
varied when the build happens. The Canadian cross uses this to build a
build compiler used to build a Cxc runtime.
Add Cxc support to the build module. In the defaults add rm and rmfile
macros, add Cxc paths and pre-build script code.
In the setbuilder check for a Cxc build and if so and the package
allow Cxc build the build host version then the host target
version.
Add cygiwn support to the defaults processing and to the Windows module.
