Remove packaging from the standard library.
Distutils2 will live on on PyPI and be included in the stdlib when it
is ready. See discussion starting at

A :class:`CCompiler` instance can be used for all the compile and -link steps needed to build a single project. Methods are provided to set -options for the compiler --- macro definitions, include directories, link path, -libraries and the like. - -.. class:: CCompiler(dry_run=False, force=False) - - The abstract base class :class:`CCompiler` defines the interface that must be - implemented by real compiler classes. The class also has some utility - methods used by several compiler classes. - - 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 of those attributes may be varied on a - per-compilation or per-link basis. - - The constructor for each subclass creates an instance of the Compiler object. - Flags are *dry_run* (don't actually execute - the steps) and *force* (rebuild everything, regardless of dependencies). All - of these flags default to ``False`` (off). Note that you probably don't want to - instantiate :class:`CCompiler` or one of its subclasses directly - use the - :func:`new_compiler` factory function instead. - - The following methods allow you to manually alter compiler options for the - instance of the Compiler class. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.add_include_dir(dir) - - Add *dir* to the list of directories that will be searched for header - files. The compiler is instructed to search directories in the order in - which they are supplied by successive calls to :meth:`add_include_dir`. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.set_include_dirs(dirs) - - Set the list of directories that will be searched to *dirs* (a list of - strings). Overrides any preceding calls to :meth:`add_include_dir`; - subsequent calls to :meth:`add_include_dir` add to the list passed to - :meth:`set_include_dirs`. This does not affect any list of standard - include directories that the compiler may search by default. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.add_library(libname) - - Add *libname* to the list of libraries that will be included in all links - driven by this compiler object. Note that *libname* should *not* be the - name of a file containing a library, but the name of the library itself: - the actual filename will be inferred by the linker, the compiler, or the - compiler class (depending on the platform). - - The linker will be instructed to link against libraries in the order they - were supplied to :meth:`add_library` and/or :meth:`set_libraries`. It is - perfectly valid to duplicate library names; the linker will be instructed - to link against libraries as many times as they are mentioned. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.set_libraries(libnames) - - Set the list of libraries to be included in all links driven by this - compiler object to *libnames* (a list of strings). This does not affect - any standard system libraries that the linker may include by default. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.add_library_dir(dir) - - Add *dir* to the list of directories that will be searched for libraries - specified to :meth:`add_library` and :meth:`set_libraries`.

This does not affect any standard search path - that the runtime linker may search by default. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.define_macro(name, value=None) - - Define a preprocessor macro for all compilations driven by this compiler - object. The optional parameter *value* should be a string; if it is not - supplied, then the macro will be defined without an explicit value and the - exact outcome depends on the compiler used (XXX true? does ANSI say - anything about this?) - - - .. method:: CCompiler.undefine_macro(name) - - Undefine a preprocessor macro for all compilations driven by this compiler - object. If the same macro is defined by :meth:`define_macro` and - undefined by :meth:`undefine_macro` the last call takes precedence - (including multiple redefinitions or undefinitions). If the macro is - redefined/undefined on a per-compilation basis (i.e. in the call to - :meth:`compile`), then that takes precedence. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.add_link_object(object) - - Add *object* to the list of object files (or analogues, such as explicitly - named library files or the output of "resource compilers") to be included - in every link driven by this compiler object. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.set_link_objects(objects) - - Set the list of object files (or analogues) to be included in every link - to *objects*. This does not affect any standard object files that the - linker may include by default (such as system libraries). - - The following methods implement methods for autodetection of compiler - options, providing some functionality similar to GNU :program:`autoconf`. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.detect_language(sources) - - Detect the language of a given file, or list of files. Uses the instance - attributes :attr:`language_map` (a dictionary), and :attr:`language_order` - (a list) to do the job. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.find_library_file(dirs, lib, debug=0) - - Search the specified list of directories for a static or shared library file - *lib* and return the full path to that file. If *debug* is true, look for a - debugging version (if that makes sense on the current platform). Return - ``None`` if *lib* wasn't found in any of the specified directories. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.has_function(funcname, includes=None, include_dirs=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None) - - Return a boolean indicating whether *funcname* is supported on the current - platform. The optional arguments can be used to augment the compilation - environment by providing additional include files and paths and libraries and - paths. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.library_dir_option(dir) - - Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of directories searched for - libraries. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.library_option(lib) - - Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of libraries linked into the - shared library or executable. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.runtime_library_dir_option(dir) - - Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of directories searched for - runtime libraries. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.set_executables(**args) - - Define the executables (and options for them) that will be run to perform the - various stages of compilation. The exact set of executables that may be - specified here depends on the compiler class (via the 'executables' class - attribute), but most will have: - - +--------------+------------------------------------------+ - | attribute | description | - +==============+==========================================+ - | *compiler* | the C/C++ compiler | - +--------------+------------------------------------------+ - | *linker_so* | linker used to create shared objects and | - | | libraries | - +--------------+------------------------------------------+ - | *linker_exe* | linker used to create binary executables | - +--------------+------------------------------------------+ - | *archiver* | static library creator | - +--------------+------------------------------------------+ - - On platforms with a command line (Unix, DOS/Windows), each of these is a string - that will be split into executable name and (optional) list of arguments. - (Splitting the string is done similarly to how Unix shells operate: words are - delimited by spaces, but quotes and backslashes can override this. See - :func:`packaging.util.split_quoted`.) - - The following methods invoke stages in the build process. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.compile(sources, output_dir=None, macros=None, include_dirs=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, depends=None) - - Compile one or more source files. Generates object files (e.g. transforms a - :file:`.c` file to a :file:`.o` file.) - - *sources* must be a list of filenames, most likely C/C++ files, but in reality - anything that can be handled by a particular compiler and compiler class (e.g. - an ``'msvc'`` compiler can handle resource files in *sources*). Return a list of - object filenames, one per source filename in *sources*. Depending on the - implementation, not all source files will necessarily be compiled, but all - corresponding object filenames will be returned. - - If *output_dir* is given, object files will be put under it, while retaining - their original path component. That is, :file:`foo/bar.c` normally compiles to - :file:`foo/bar.o` (for a Unix implementation); if *output_dir* is *build*, then - it would compile to :file:`build/foo/bar.o`. - - *macros*, if given, must be a list of macro definitions. A macro definition is - either a ``(name, value)`` 2-tuple or a ``(name,)`` 1-tuple. The former defines - a macro; if the value is ``None``, the macro is defined without an explicit - value. The 1-tuple case undefines a macro. Later - definitions/redefinitions/undefinitions take precedence. - - *include_dirs*, if given, must be a list of strings, the directories to add to - the default include file search path for this compilation only. - - *debug* is a boolean; if true, the compiler will be instructed to output debug - symbols in (or alongside) the object file(s). - - *extra_preargs* and *extra_postargs* are implementation-dependent. On platforms - that have the notion of a command line (e.g. Unix, DOS/Windows), they are most - likely lists of strings: extra command-line arguments to prepend/append to the - compiler command line. On other platforms, consult the implementation class - documentation. In any event, they are intended as an escape hatch for those - occasions when the abstract compiler framework doesn't cut the mustard. - - *depends*, if given, is a list of filenames that all targets depend on. If a - source file is older than any file in depends, then the source file will be - recompiled. This supports dependency tracking, but only at a coarse - granularity. - - Raises :exc:`CompileError` on failure. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.create_static_lib(objects, output_libname, output_dir=None, debug=0, target_lang=None) - - Link a bunch of stuff together to create a static library file. The "bunch of - stuff" consists of the list of object files supplied as *objects*, the extra - object files supplied to :meth:`add_link_object` and/or - :meth:`set_link_objects`, the libraries supplied to :meth:`add_library` and/or - :meth:`set_libraries`, and the libraries supplied as *libraries* (if any). - - *output_libname* should be a library name, not a filename; the filename will be - inferred from the library name. *output_dir* is the directory where the library - file will be put. XXX defaults to what? - - *debug* is a boolean; if true, debugging information will be included in the - library (note that on most platforms, it is the compile step where this matters: - the *debug* flag is included here just for consistency). - - *target_lang* is the target language for which the given objects are being - compiled. This allows specific linkage time treatment of certain languages. - - Raises :exc:`LibError` on failure. - - - .. method:: CCompiler.link(target_desc, objects, output_filename, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None) - - Link a bunch of stuff together to create an executable or shared library file. - - The "bunch of stuff" consists of the list of object files supplied as *objects*. - *output_filename* should be a filename. If *output_dir* is supplied, - *output_filename* is relative to it (i.e. *output_filename* can provide - directory components if needed). - - *libraries* is a list of libraries to link against. These are library names, - not filenames, since they're translated into filenames in a platform-specific - way (e.g. *foo* becomes :file:`libfoo.a` on Unix and :file:`foo.lib` on - DOS/Windows). However, they can include a directory component, which means the - linker will look in that specific directory rather than searching all the normal - locations. - - *library_dirs*, if supplied, should be a list of directories to search for - libraries that were specified as bare library names (i.e. no directory - component). These are on top of the system default and those supplied to - :meth:`add_library_dir` and/or :meth:`set_library_dirs`. *runtime_library_dirs* - is a list of directories that will be embedded into the shared library and used - to search for other shared libraries that \*it\* depends on at run-time.
