%scons; %builders-mod; %functions-mod; %tools-mod; %variables-mod; ]> A function used to produce variables like &cv-link-_CPPINCFLAGS;. It takes four mandatory arguments, and up to 4 additional optional arguments: 1) a prefix to concatenate onto each element, 2) a list of elements, 3) a suffix to concatenate onto each element, 4) an environment for variable interpolation, 5) an optional function that will be called to transform the list before concatenation, 6) an optionally specified target (Can use TARGET), 7) an optionally specified source (Can use SOURCE), 8) optional affect_signature flag which will wrap non-empty returned value with $( and $) to indicate the contents should not affect the signature of the generated command line. env['_CPPINCFLAGS'] = '${_concat(INCPREFIX, CPPPATH, INCSUFFIX, __env__, RDirs, TARGET, SOURCE, affect_signature=False)}' The name of the directory in which Configure context test files are written. The default is .sconf_temp in the top-level directory containing the SConstruct file. If variant directories are in use, and the configure check results should not be shared between variants, you can set &cv-CONFIGUREDIR; and &cv-link-CONFIGURELOG; so they are unique per variant directory. The name of the &Configure; context log file. The default is config.log in the top-level directory containing the SConstruct file. If variant directories are in use, and the configure check results should not be shared between variants, you can set &cv-link-CONFIGUREDIR; and &cv-CONFIGURELOG; so they are unique per variant directory. An automatically-generated &consvar; containing the C preprocessor command-line options to define values. The value of &cv-link-_CPPDEFFLAGS; is created by respectively prepending and appending &cv-link-CPPDEFPREFIX; and &cv-link-CPPDEFSUFFIX; to each definition in &cv-link-CPPDEFINES;. A platform independent specification of C preprocessor macro definitions. The definitions are added to command lines through the automatically-generated &cv-link-_CPPDEFFLAGS; &consvar;, which is constructed according to the contents of &cv-CPPDEFINES;: If &cv-CPPDEFINES; is a string, the values of the &cv-link-CPPDEFPREFIX; and &cv-link-CPPDEFSUFFIX; &consvars; are respectively prepended and appended to each definition in &cv-CPPDEFINES;, split on whitespace. # Adds -Dxyz to POSIX compiler command lines, # and /Dxyz to Microsoft Visual C++ command lines. env = Environment(CPPDEFINES='xyz') If &cv-CPPDEFINES; is a list, the values of the &cv-CPPDEFPREFIX; and &cv-CPPDEFSUFFIX; &consvars; are respectively prepended and appended to each element in the list. If any element is a tuple (or list) then the first item of the tuple is the macro name and the second is the macro definition. If the definition is not omitted or None, the name and definition are combined into a single name=definition item before the prepending/appending. # Adds -DB=2 -DA to POSIX compiler command lines, # and /DB=2 /DA to Microsoft Visual C++ command lines. env = Environment(CPPDEFINES=[('B', 2), 'A']) If &cv-CPPDEFINES; is a dictionary, the values of the &cv-CPPDEFPREFIX; and &cv-CPPDEFSUFFIX; &consvars; are respectively prepended and appended to each key from the dictionary. If the value for a key is not None, then the key (macro name) and the value (macros definition) are combined into a single name=definition item before the prepending/appending. # Adds -DA -DB=2 to POSIX compiler command lines, # or /DA /DB=2 to Microsoft Visual C++ command lines. env = Environment(CPPDEFINES={'B':2, 'A':None}) Depending on how contents are added to &cv-CPPDEFINES;, it may be transformed into a compound type, for example a list containing strings, tuples and/or dictionaries. &SCons; can correctly expand such a compound type. Note that &SCons; may call the compiler via a shell. If a macro definition contains characters such as spaces that have meaning to the shell, or is intended to be a string value, you may need to use the shell's quoting syntax to avoid interpretation by the shell before the preprocessor sees it. Function-like macros are not supported via this mechanism (and some compilers do not even implement that functionality via the command lines). When quoting, note that one set of quote characters are used to define a &Python; string, then quotes embedded inside that would be consumed by the shell unless escaped. These examples may help illustrate: env = Environment(CPPDEFINES=['USE_ALT_HEADER=\\"foo_alt.h\\"']) env = Environment(CPPDEFINES=[('USE_ALT_HEADER', '\\"foo_alt.h\\"')]) :Changed in version 4.5: &SCons; no longer sorts &cv-CPPDEFINES; values entered in dictionary form. &Python; now preserves dictionary keys in the order they are entered, so it is no longer necessary to sort them to ensure a stable command line. The prefix used to specify preprocessor macro definitions on the C compiler command line. This will be prepended to each definition in the &cv-link-CPPDEFINES; &consvar; when the &cv-link-_CPPDEFFLAGS; variable is automatically generated. The suffix used to specify preprocessor macro definitions on the C compiler command line. This will be appended to each definition in the &cv-link-CPPDEFINES; &consvar; when the &cv-link-_CPPDEFFLAGS; variable is automatically generated. An automatically-generated &consvar; containing the C preprocessor command-line options for specifying directories to be searched for include files. The value of &cv-_CPPINCFLAGS; is created by respectively prepending and appending &cv-link-INCPREFIX; and &cv-link-INCSUFFIX; to each directory in &cv-link-CPPPATH;. The list of directories that the C preprocessor will search for include directories. The C/C++ implicit dependency scanner will search these directories for include files. In general, it's not advised to put include directory directives directly into &cv-link-CCFLAGS; or &cv-link-CXXFLAGS; as the result will be non-portable and the directories will not be searched by the dependency scanner. &cv-CPPPATH; should be a list of path strings, or a single string, not a pathname list joined by Python's os.pathsep. Note: directory names in &cv-CPPPATH; will be looked-up relative to the directory of the SConscript file when they are used in a command. To force &scons; to lookup a directory relative to the root of the source tree, use the # prefix: env = Environment(CPPPATH='#/include') The directory lookup can also be forced using the &f-link-Dir; function: include = Dir('include') env = Environment(CPPPATH=include) The directory list will be added to command lines through the automatically-generated &cv-link-_CPPINCFLAGS; &consvar;, which is constructed by respectively prepending and appending the values of the &cv-link-INCPREFIX; and &cv-link-INCSUFFIX; &consvars; to each directory in &cv-link-CPPPATH;. Any command lines you define that need the &cv-CPPPATH; directory list should include &cv-link-_CPPINCFLAGS;: env = Environment(CCCOM="my_compiler $_CPPINCFLAGS -c -o $TARGET $SOURCE") A function that converts a string into a Dir instance relative to the target being built. A function that converts a list of strings into a list of Dir instances relative to the target being built. The list of suffixes of files that will be scanned for imported D package files. The default list is ['.d']. A function that converts a string into a File instance relative to the target being built. The list of suffixes of files that will be scanned for IDL implicit dependencies (#include or import lines). The default list is: [".idl", ".IDL"] The prefix used to specify an include directory on the C compiler command line. This will be prepended to each directory in the &cv-link-CPPPATH; and &cv-link-FORTRANPATH; &consvars; when the &cv-link-_CPPINCFLAGS; and &cv-link-_FORTRANINCFLAGS; variables are automatically generated. The suffix used to specify an include directory on the C compiler command line. This will be appended to each directory in the &cv-link-CPPPATH; and &cv-link-FORTRANPATH; &consvars; when the &cv-link-_CPPINCFLAGS; and &cv-link-_FORTRANINCFLAGS; variables are automatically generated. A function to be called to install a file into a destination file name. The default function copies the file into the destination (and sets the destination file's mode and permission bits to match the source file's). The function takes the following arguments: def install(dest, source, env): dest is the path name of the destination file. source is the path name of the source file. env is the construction environment (a dictionary of construction values) in force for this file installation. The string displayed when a file is installed into a destination file name. The default is: Install file: "$SOURCE" as "$TARGET" The list of suffixes of files that will be scanned for LaTeX implicit dependencies (\include or \import files). The default list is: [".tex", ".ltx", ".latex"] An automatically-generated construction variable containing the linker command-line options for specifying directories to be searched for library. The value of &cv-_LIBDIRFLAGS; is created by respectively prepending and appending &cv-link-LIBDIRPREFIX; and &cv-link-LIBDIRSUFFIX; to each directory in &cv-link-LIBPATH;. The prefix used to specify a library directory on the linker command line. This will be prepended to each directory in the &cv-link-LIBPATH; construction variable when the &cv-link-_LIBDIRFLAGS; variable is automatically generated. The suffix used to specify a library directory on the linker command line. This will be appended to each directory in the &cv-link-LIBPATH; construction variable when the &cv-link-_LIBDIRFLAGS; variable is automatically generated. An automatically-generated construction variable containing the linker command-line options for specifying libraries to be linked with the resulting target. The value of &cv-_LIBFLAGS; is created by respectively prepending and appending &cv-link-LIBLINKPREFIX; and &cv-link-LIBLINKSUFFIX; to each filename in &cv-link-LIBS;. The prefix used to specify a library to link on the linker command line. This will be prepended to each library in the &cv-link-LIBS; construction variable when the &cv-link-_LIBFLAGS; variable is automatically generated. The suffix used to specify a library to link on the linker command line. This will be appended to each library in the &cv-link-LIBS; construction variable when the &cv-link-_LIBFLAGS; variable is automatically generated. The list of directories that will be searched for libraries specified by the &cv-link-LIBS; &consvar;. &cv-LIBPATH; should be a list of path strings, or a single string, not a pathname list joined by Python's os.pathsep. Do not put library search directives directly into &cv-LINKFLAGS; or &cv-SHLINKFLAGS; as the result will be non-portable. Note: directory names in &cv-LIBPATH; will be looked-up relative to the directory of the SConscript file when they are used in a command. To force &scons; to lookup a directory relative to the root of the source tree, use the # prefix: env = Environment(LIBPATH='#/libs') The directory lookup can also be forced using the &f-link-Dir; function: libs = Dir('libs') env = Environment(LIBPATH=libs) The directory list will be added to command lines through the automatically-generated &cv-link-_LIBDIRFLAGS; construction variable, which is constructed by respectively prepending and appending the values of the &cv-link-LIBDIRPREFIX; and &cv-link-LIBDIRSUFFIX; construction variables to each directory in &cv-LIBPATH;. Any command lines you define that need the &cv-LIBPATH; directory list should include &cv-_LIBDIRFLAGS;: env = Environment(LINKCOM="my_linker $_LIBDIRFLAGS $_LIBFLAGS -o $TARGET $SOURCE") The list of libraries that will be added to the link line for linking with any executable program, shared library, or loadable module created by the &consenv; or override. For portability, a string-valued library name should include only the base library name, without prefixes such as lib or suffixes such as .so or .dll. &SCons; will attempt to strip prefixes from the &cv-link-LIBPREFIXES; list and suffixes from the &cv-link-LIBSUFFIXES; list, but depending on that behavior will make the build less portable: for example, on a POSIX system, no attempt will be made to strip a suffix like .dll. Library name strings in &cv-LIBS; should not include a path component: instead use &cv-link-LIBPATH; to direct the compiler to look for libraries in those paths, plus any default paths the linker searches in. If &cv-link-LIBLITERALPREFIX; is set to a non-empty string, then a string-valued &cv-LIBS; entry that starts with &cv-link-LIBLITERALPREFIX; will cause the rest of the entry to be searched for unmodified, but respecting normal library search paths (this is an exception to the guideline above about leaving off the prefix/suffix from the library name). If a &cv-LIBS; entry is a Node object (either as returned by a previous Builder call, or as the result of an explicit call to &f-link-File;), the pathname from that Node will be added to &cv-_LIBFLAGS;, and thus to the link line, unmodified - without adding &cv-LIBLINKPREFIX; or &cv-LIBLINKSUFFIX;. Such entries are searched for literally (including any path component); the library search paths are not used. For example: env.Append(LIBS=File('/tmp/mylib.so')) For each &Builder; call that causes linking with libraries, &SCons; will add the libraries in the setting of &cv-LIBS; in effect at that moment to the dependency graph as dependencies of the target being generated. The library list will be transformed to command-line arguments through the automatically-generated &cv-link-_LIBFLAGS; &consvar; which is constructed by respectively prepending and appending the values of the &cv-link-LIBLINKPREFIX; and &cv-link-LIBLINKSUFFIX; &consvars; to each library name. Any command lines you define yourself that need the libraries from &cv-LIBS; should include &cv-_LIBFLAGS; (as well as &cv-link-_LIBDIRFLAGS;) rather than &cv-LIBS;. For example: env = Environment(LINKCOM="my_linker $_LIBDIRFLAGS $_LIBFLAGS -o $TARGET $SOURCE") If the linker supports command line syntax directing that the argument specifying a library should be searched for literally (without modification), &cv-LIBLITERALPREFIX; can be set to that indicator. For example, the GNU linker follows this rule: -l:foo searches the library path for a filename called foo, without converting it to libfoo.so or libfoo.a. If &cv-LIBLITERALPREFIX; is set, &SCons; will not transform a string-valued entry in &cv-link-LIBS; that starts with that string. The entry will still be surrounded with &cv-link-LIBLINKPREFIX; and &cv-link-LIBLINKSUFFIX; on the command line. This is useful, for example, in directing that a static library be used when both a static and dynamic library are available and linker policy is to prefer dynamic libraries. Compared to the example in &cv-link-LIBS;, env.Append(LIBS=":libmylib.a") will let the linker select that specific (static) library name if found in the library search path. This differs from using a File object to specify the static library, as the latter bypasses the library search path entirely. A function that converts a string into a list of Dir instances by searching the repositories. ([key=value, ...]) Instantiates and returns the global &consenv; object. The &DefEnv; is used internally by &SCons; when executing a global function or the global form of a Builder method that requires access to a &consenv;. On the first call, arguments are interpreted as for the &f-link-Environment; function. The &DefEnv; is a singleton; subsequent calls to &f-DefaultEnvironment; return the already-constructed object, and any keyword arguments are silently ignored. The &DefEnv; can be modified after instantiation, similar to other &consenvs;, although some &consenv; methods may be unavailable. Modifying the &DefEnv; has no effect on any other &consenv;, either existing or newly constructed. It is not necessary to explicitly call &f-DefaultEnvironment;. &SCons; instantiates the &defenv; automatically when the build phase begins, if has not already been done. However, calling it explicitly provides the opportunity to affect and examine its contents. Instantiation occurs even if nothing in the build system appears to use it, due to internal uses. If the project &SConscript; files do not use global functions or Builders, a small performance gain may be achieved by calling &f-DefaultEnvironment; with an empty tools list (DefaultEnvironment(tools=[])). This avoids the tool initialization cost for the &DefEnv;, which is mainly of interest in the test suite where &scons; is launched repeatedly in a short time period.
