When using msvcdeps, header dependencies are not detected reliably for
generated source files. The root cause is a bug in versions of MSVC
prior to VS2019 16.0 in which it emits lower-case path prefixes when
resolving include paths relative to the containing file. Absolute paths
and paths relative to include directories passed in the MSVC command
line are, in contrast, case-correct.
Such a file-relative include directive with an incorrect lower-case
prefix derails waf's node hash signature handling and fails silently.
This change uses ant_glob() with the ignorecase keyword argument to
find the file on the filesystem with the correct case. The prior
case-correction code has been superseded and was removed.
See the following Visual Studio bug report for details on the issue:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/233871/showincludes-lowercases-some-path-segments.html
Make path_to_node() only accept a path as a string instead of also as a
list. That requires joining the list of path components in the relative
path case before calling path_to_node(). Also use path.pop(0) to remove
the first path component instead of copying the remainder of the path
using a slice operator.
Rework how msvcdeps' cached_nodes lock is used so acquiring the lock is
only necessary on a cache miss. Also use a "with" context manager to
simplify management of the lock lifecycle.
Previously one could explicitly state to use PySide2 or PyQt4 but not PyQt5 which was picked just by default. In this way the option can override local configurations and also this prevents to have mixed tools versions if we are sure we need PyQt5.
This patch corrects an error in the exec_response_command exception
handler which always assumed that the execution's stdout would be bound
to the the WafError exception object.
However, this assumption is only true when the execution completes with
a non-zero status code. For other exceptions, the stdout attribute is
not bound.
Now, when stdout is not available, the WafError msg will be used
instead.
The order of the lines in a doxyfile are important. This patch uses an
ordered dictionary to keep the keys of the doxyfile in the same order.
This is particularly important for doxyfiles that contain @INCLUDE
lines. In such cases, if the dictionary is not ordered, the @INCLUDE
line can end up in the middle of the generated doxyfile and thus
override all entries that were seen before it.
mac-o symbols are prefixed with an underscore. when specifying multiple
sub-regexes (e.g. 'sym1|sym2|sym3'), only the first will be matched
(since the expansion turns into '(?P<symbol>_?sym1|sym2|sym3)'). here,
this is remedied by wrapping the symbol regex in a paren group.
The global value gccdeps was appended to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS instead of
the actual flags tested against the compiler. This ignored
modifications to the GCCDEPS_FLAGS environment variable and complicated
adding support for additional compilers at the project level.
previously code was erroneously using tg.bld.path instead of tg.path
so for nested wscript calls the wrong directory was used in search.
added also better error handling with error message if an included
directory does not exist
When CDT is not included in the project (ie. we just have Python and/or Java) the current implementation would not create automatically a call to waf
for the build stage. This patch adds in such cases an external builder that automates the call to waf without the need to manually configure one.
added support to search and add into source path also generated source
files for both java and python. this is useful when using generated code
(ie. protoc and pyqt5) so browsing in eclipse works correclty adding also
paths where generated code is done.
extended example in playground demostrating generated code
