- 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.
- add 'extra_preargs' and 'extra_postargs' parameters (and use them!)
- added 'compiler_type' class attribute
- respect reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()'
which allowed us to get rid of the 'build_info' used in some places
(a temporary kludge to support MSVC++ "def" files).
Deleted big comment whining about that kludge.
Added 'compiler_type' class attribute.
Overhauled 'new_compiler()': now takes 'compiler' argument along with
'plat' (both optional with sensible defaults), and looks them both up
in the new 'default_compiler' and 'compiler_class' dictionaries to
figure out where to get the concrete compiler class from.
Reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()' to match the order in
which the arguments are generated (ie. -L before -l).
they make sure that 'set_final_options()' has been called, but isn't
called redundantly.
Changed Distribution to call 'ensure_ready()' where it used to call
'set_final_options()', and in a few extra places as well.
Lots of comment/docstring revisions and additions in both classes.
New one-liner utility methods in Command: 'find_peer()', 'spawn()'.
'alias_options' table and getting rid of some hairy code in the
Distribution constructor.
Resurrected the distribution options that describe the modules present
in the module distribution ('py_modules', 'ext_modules'), and added
a bunch more: 'packages', 'package_dir', 'ext_package', 'include_dirs',
'install_path'.
Updated some comments.
Added 'warn()' method to Command.
'Command.get_command_name()' now stores generated command name in
self.command_name.
Added global cache PATH_CREATED used by 'mkpath()' to ensure it doesn't
try to create the same path more than once in a session (and, more
importantly, to ensure that it doesn't print "creating X" more than
once for each X per session!).
distributions their own directory (and .pth file).
Overhauled how we determine installation directories in
'set_final_options()' to separate platform-dependence and take
'install_path' option into account.
Added 'create_path_file()' to create path config file when 'install_path'
given.
Only run 'install_py' and 'install_ext' when, respectively, there are
some pure Python modules and some extension modules in the distribution.
- rename 'dir' to 'build_dir'
- take 'package' from distribution option 'ext_package'
- take 'extensions' from distribution option 'ext_modules'
- take 'include_dirs' from distribution
Name keyword args explictly when calling CCompiler methods.
Overhauled how we generate extension filenames (in 'extension_filename()
and 'build_extension()') to take 'package' option into account.
Changed those two methods to only compile/link if necessary (according
to simplistic timestamp checks).
Added 'output_dir' to 'object_filenames()' and 'shared_object_filename()'.
attributes, etc. Biggest change was to the Distribution constructor
-- it now looks for an 'options' attribute, which contains values
(options) that are explicitly farmed out to the commands. Also,
certain options supplied to Distribution (ie. in the 'setup()' call in
setup.py) are now "command option aliases", meaning they are dropped
right into a certain command rather than being distribution options.
This is handled by a new Distribution class attribute,
'alias_options'.
Various comment changes to reflect the new way-of-thinking.
Added 'get_command_name()' method to Command -- was assuming its
existence all along as 'command_name()', so changed the code that
needs it to call 'get_command_name()'.
now provided (minus the leading underscore) by the ccompiler module.
Fix 'compile()' to return the list of object files generated.
Cosmetic tweaks/delete cruft.
Added big comment about the kludginess of passing 'build_options'
to the link methods and how to fix it.
Added 'gen_preprocess_options()' and 'gen_lib_options()' convenience
functions -- the two cases are very similar for Unix C Compilers and
VC++, so I figured I might as well unify the implementations.
- fix some broken abstract methods
- kludge: add 'build_info' parameter to link methods
- add 'object_name()' and 'shared_library_name()'
- support for MSVCCompiler class on NT/Win95
Added 'verbose' and 'dry_run' parameters to constructor.
Changed 'compile()', 'link_*()' to default lists arguments to None
rather than empty list.
Added implementations of the filename-mangling methods mandated by
the CCompiler interface.
'new_compiler()' factory function.
Added 'runtime_library_dirs' list (for -R linker option) and methods
to manipulate it.
Deleted some obsolete comments.
Added all the filename manglign methods: 'object_filenames()',
'shared_object_filename()', 'library_filename()',
'shared_library_filename()'.
Added 'spawn()' method (front end to the "real" spawn).
- did away with 'comment_re' option -- it's just not that simple anymore
- heavily revised the main logic in 'readline()' to accomodate this
Beefed up 'warn()': 'line' can be list or tuple, and 'msg' is
automatically converted to a string.
