    """Abstract base class to define the interface that must be implemented
    by real compiler classes.  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.
    """

    # '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'!

    # 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 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.  I
    #     think this is useless without the ability to null out the
    #     library search path anyways.

    # -- Filename generation methods -----------------------------------

    # The default implementation of the filename generating methods are
    # prejudiced towards the Unix/DOS/Windows view of the world:
    #   * object files are named by replacing the source file extension
    #     (eg. .c/.cpp -> .o/.obj)
    #   * library files (shared or static) are named by plugging the
    #     library name and extension into a format string, eg.
    #     "lib%s.%s" % (lib_name, ".a") for Unix static libraries
    #   * executables are named by appending an extension (possibly
    #     empty) to the program name: eg. progname + ".exe" for
    #     Windows
    #
    # To reduce redundant code, these methods expect to find
    # several attributes in the current object (presumably defined
    # as class attributes):
    #   * src_extensions -
    #     list of C/C++ source file extensions, eg. ['.c', '.cpp']
    #   * obj_extension -
    #     object file extension, eg. '.o' or '.obj'
    #   * static_lib_extension -
    #     extension for static library files, eg. '.a' or '.lib'
    #   * shared_lib_extension -
    #     extension for shared library/object files, eg. '.so', '.dll'
    #   * static_lib_format -
    #     format string for generating static library filenames,
    #     eg. 'lib%s.%s' or '%s.%s'
    #   * shared_lib_format
    #     format string for generating shared library filenames
    #     (probably same as static_lib_format, since the extension
    #     is one of the intended parameters to the format string)
    #   * exe_extension -
