[#454030] distutils cannot link C++ code with GCC
topdir = "Lib/distutils"
* bcppcompiler.py
(BCPPCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
(BCPPCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* msvccompiler.py
(MSVCCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
(MSVCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* ccompiler.py
(CCompiler): New language_map and language_order attributes, used by
CCompiler.detect_language().
(CCompiler.detect_language): New method, will return the language of
a given source, or list of sources. Individual source language is
detected using the language_map dict. When mixed sources are used,
language_order will stablish the language precedence.
(CCompiler.create_static_lib, CCompiler.link, CCompiler.link_executable,
CCompiler.link_shared_object, CCompiler.link_shared_lib):
Inlcuded target_lang parameter.
* cygwinccompiler.py
(CygwinCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* emxccompiler.py
(EMXCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* mwerkscompiler.py
(MWerksCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* extension.py
(Extension.__init__): New 'language' parameter/attribute, initialized
to None by default. If provided will overlap the automatic detection
made by CCompiler.detect_language(), in build_ext command.
* sysconfig.py
(customize_compiler): Check Makefile for CXX option, and also the
environment variable CXX. Use the resulting value in the 'compiler_cxx'
parameter of compiler.set_executables().
* unixccompiler.py
(UnixCCompiler): Included 'compiler_cxx' in executables dict, defaulting
to 'cc'.
(UnixCCompiler.create_static_lib): Included target_lang parameter.
(UnixCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter, and made
linker command use compiler_cxx, if target_lang is 'c++'.
* command/build_ext.py
(build_ext.build_extension): Pass new ext.language attribute
to compiler.link_shared_object()'s target_lang parameter. If
ext.language is not provided, detect language using
compiler.detect_language(sources) instead.
* command/config.py
(config._link): Pass already available lang parameter as target_lang
parameter of compiler.link_executable().
Always use _setup_compile() to do the grunt work of processing
arguments, figuring out which files to compile, and emitting debug
messages for files that are up-to-date.
Use _get_cc_args() when possible.
This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889. It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects. Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.
The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.
XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process. It will need
substantial testing.
implementations. Details:
* replace 'link_shared_object()', 'link_shared_lib()', and
'link_executable()' with 'link()', which is (roughly)
the union of the three methods it replaces
* in all implementation classes (UnixCCompiler, MSVCCompiler, etc.),
ditch the old 'link_*()' methods and replace them with 'link()'
* in the abstract base class (CCompiler), add the old 'link_*()'
methods as wrappers around the new 'link()' (they also print
a warning of the deprecated interface)
Also increases consistency between MSVCCompiler and BCPPCompiler,
hopefully to make it easier to factor out the mythical WindowsCCompiler
class. Details:
* use 'self.linker' instead of 'self.link'
* add ability to compile resource files to BCPPCompiler
* added (redundant?) 'object_filename()' method to BCPPCompiler
* only generate a .def file if 'export_symbols' defined
resource files. The gist of the patch is to treat ".rc" and ".mc"
files as source files; ".mc" files are compiled to ".rc" and then
".res", and ".rc" files are compiled to ".res". Wish I knew what
all these things stood for...
according to the MS docs it enables exception-handling, and (according
to Alex Martelli <aleaxit@yahoo.com>) is needed to compile without
getting warnings from standard C++ library headers. Apparently
it doesn't cause any problems with C code, so I haven't bothered
conditionalizing the use of /GX.
This'll work fine with 2.0 or 1.5.2, but is less than ideal for
1.6a1/a2. But the code to accomodate 1.6a1/a2 was released with
Distutils 0.9, so it can go away now.
methods (but not 'link_executable()', hmmm). Currently only used by
BCPPCompiler; it's a dummy parameter for UnixCCompiler and MSVCCompiler.
Also added 'bcpp' to compiler table used by 'new_compiler()'.
- DistutilsOptionError is now documented as it's actually used, ie.
to indicate bogus option values (usually user options, eg. from
the command-line)
- added DistutilsSetupError to indicate errors that definitely arise
in the setup script
- got rid of DistutilsValueError, and changed all usage of it to
either DistutilsSetupError or ValueError as appropriate
- simplified a bunch of option get/set methods in Command and
Distribution classes -- just pass on AttributeError most of
the time, rather than turning it into something else
HKEY_* and Reg* names once, rather than having near-duplicate code
in the two import attempts.
Also dropped the leading underscore on all the imported symbols,
as it's not appropriate (they're not local to this module).
we don't know what to do with it when we see it.
Call '_fix_object_args()' and/or '_fix_lib_args()' as appropriate, rather
than just '_fix_link_args()'.
option in the 'build_ext' command):
* in ccompiler.py: 'gen_lib_options()' now takes 'runtime_library_dirs'
parameter
* in unixccompiler.py and msvccompiler.py: now pass
'self.runtime_library_dirs' to 'gen_lib_options()', and define
'runtime_library_dir_option()' (although in msvccompiler.py it
blows up with a DistutilsPlatformError right now!)
implement it (so far):
* moved filename generation methods into CCompiler base class,
driven by data supplied by implementation classes
* moved a bunch of common code from UnixCCompiler to convenience
methods in CCompiler
* overhauled MSVCCompiler's compile/link methods to look and act
as much as possible like UnixCCompiler's, in order to regularize
both interface and behaviour (especially by using those new
convenience methods)
'get_msvc_paths()'.
Renamed '_do_SET()' to 'set_path_env_var()', tweaked docstring, and
cosmetically tweaked code.
Stylistic changes to MSVCCompiler constructor (variable renaming
and type consistency).
* tweak my docstrings
* fix None returns to empty list
* reshuffle responsibilities between '_find_exe()', '_find_SET()', and
the MSVCCompiler constructor -- now the constructor worries about
fetching the version list and determining the most recent one
* added "/W3" compile option
Also, I added/tweaked some docstrings.
* don't need to mention python<ver>.lib -- it's done by a pragma
* add debug flags for compile and link, and use them
* fix 'link_shared_library()' to pass everything to 'link_shared_object()'
* change filename when shared object with debug info (ugh)
someone who knows Windows/MSVC++ to come along and add the right flags.
Comment noting that 'link_static_lib()' signature is inconsistent with
the other compiler classes (uh-oh!)
- change how we call it
- added methods 'library_dir_option()', 'library_option()', and
'find_library_file()' that it calls
Added 'force' flag; it's automatically "respected", because this class
always rebuilds everything! (Which it to say, "force=0" is not respected.)
- add 'extra_preargs' and 'extra_postargs' parameters (and use them!)
- got rid of 'build_info' kludge parameter
- added 'compiler_type' class attribute
- respect reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()'
Also added 'output_dir' parameter (catching up with older change in
CCompiler) -- BUT this is presently ignored by all methods!
Deleted some more docstrings redundant with CCompiler.
Dropped generated of "/DEF:" argument --- that's now done by
the 'build_ext' command.
