it in UnixCCompiler. Still needs to be implemented in MSVCCompiler (and
whatever other compiler classes are lurking out there, waiting to be
checked in).
than we actually use, and do actually use AR and SO.
Run ranlib on static libraries. (Should probably have a platform-check
so we don't run ranlib when it's not necessary, ie. on most modern
Unices.)
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)
filenames when constructing object filenames, even if output_dir given --
eg. "foo/bar.c" will compile to "foo/bar.o" without an output_dir, and to
"temp/foo/bar.o" if output_dir is "temp".
Added 'link_static_lib()' method, and 'archiver' and 'archiver_options'
class attributes to support it.
Added 'link_executable()' method, and 'ld_exec' instance attribute
to support it.
'newer_group()' is now able to handle missing files, so we don't have
to kludge it by catching OSError when calling it.
'object_filenames()' and 'shared_object_filename()' now take 'keep_dir'
flag parameters.
'library_filename()' and 'shared_library_filename()' now respect
a directory component in the library name.
Various comment updates/deletions.
consistency with 'build_ext' command option.
Changed 'compile()' and 'link_shared_object()' so 'include_dirs',
'libraries', and 'library_dirs' can be lists or tuples.
Catch up with changes in 'gen_lib_options()':
- change how we call it
- added methods 'library_dir_option()', 'library_option()', and
'find_library_file()' that it calls
Added 'force' flag and changed compile/link methods to respect it.
- add 'extra_preargs' and 'extra_postargs' parameters (and use them!)
- added 'compiler_type' class attribute
- respect reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()'
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()'.
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 '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.
