"""distutils.ccompiler Contains CCompiler, an abstract base class that defines the interface for the Distutils compiler abstraction model.""" # created 1999/07/05, Greg Ward __revision__ = "$Id$" import sys, os from types import * from copy import copy from distutils.errors import * from distutils.spawn import spawn from distutils.util import move_file, mkpath, newer_pairwise, newer_group class CCompiler: """Abstract base class to define the interface that must be implemented by real compiler abstraction classes. Might have some use as a place for shared code, but it's not yet clear what code can be shared between compiler abstraction models for different platforms. The basic idea behind a compiler abstraction class is that each instance can be used for all the compile/link steps in building a single project. Thus, attributes common to all of those compile and link steps -- include directories, macros to define, libraries to link against, etc. -- are attributes of the compiler instance. To allow for variability in how individual files are treated, most (all?) of those attributes may be varied on a per-compilation or per-link basis.""" # 'compiler_type' is a class attribute that identifies this class. It # keeps code that wants to know what kind of compiler it's dealing with # from having to import all possible compiler classes just to do an # 'isinstance'. In concrete CCompiler subclasses, 'compiler_type' # should really, really be one of the keys of the 'compiler_class' # dictionary (see below -- used by the 'new_compiler()' factory # function) -- authors of new compiler interface classes are # responsible for updating 'compiler_class'! compiler_type = None # XXX things not handled by this compiler abstraction model: # * client can't provide additional options for a compiler, # e.g. warning, optimization, debugging flags. Perhaps this # should be the domain of concrete compiler abstraction classes # (UnixCCompiler, MSVCCompiler, etc.) -- or perhaps the base # class should have methods for the common ones. # * can't put output files (object files, libraries, whatever) # into a separate directory from their inputs. Should this be # handled by an 'output_dir' attribute of the whole object, or a # parameter to the compile/link_* methods, or both? # * can't completely override the include or library searchg # path, ie. no "cc -I -Idir1 -Idir2" or "cc -L -Ldir1 -Ldir2". # I'm not sure how widely supported this is even by Unix # compilers, much less on other platforms. And I'm even less # sure how useful it is; maybe for cross-compiling, but # support for that is a ways off. (And anyways, cross # compilers probably have a dedicated binary with the # right paths compiled in. I hope.) # * can't do really freaky things with the library list/library # dirs, e.g. "-Ldir1 -lfoo -Ldir2 -lfoo" to link against # different versions of libfoo.a in different locations.
