Detailed Description

This class wrapps the GCC as linker (in contrast to GccAsCompiler that uses the GCC as compiler). This wrapper works with MinGW as well as in Linux distributions.

This will use System.Environment.OSVersion.Platform to identify whether this is MinGW. Everything except System.PlatformID.Linux will trigger the MinGW settings.


Member Function Documentation

delegate void wx.Build.BaseAction.AdderSerializable ( System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable  arg  )  [inherited]

Will be called in ReadCollection() if a new object has been found.

Parameters:
arg The object that has been found.

override void wx.Build.Cxx.GCC.GccAsLinker.AppendBooCode ( List< string >  booCodeLines,
string  indention,
BuildToolFamilyEnv  env 
) [virtual]

This method will create BOO source code and append this code to the provided text writer.

Parameters:
env This is an environment that different tools of the same family may use to exchange information. This store is typically used to save information on configuration files or thinsgs of that kind that will be shared among all tools of the same family.
booCodeLines The code that will actually build something. Each list entry will be a line of code in the resulting BOO program.
indention A string that shall preceed all created lines.
Refer to IBuildActionProvider.AppendToBooPreamble() for an example.

This implementation will only provide

Exceptions:
NotSupportedException Will be thrown if this feature is not supported.

Reimplemented from wx.Build.BaseAction.

override void wx.Build.Cxx.GCC.GccAsLinker.AppendToBooPreamble ( BuildToolFamilyEnv  env,
List< string >  importModules,
List< string >  booDeclarations,
List< string >  booDefinitions 
) [virtual]

This will be called for any action provider before IBuildAction.AppendBooCode() is called. This provides action providers with the opportunity to import modules and create variables for global options.

Parameters:
env Environment containing status that can be shared among tools of the same family.
importModules List of modules that shall be imported. Add required modules here. Each module will be imported exactly once (even if it occurs more than once in the list).
booDeclarations Lines of code that will be added to the preamble of the BOO code. Please note, that each line may only appear once. All subsequent additions of this line of code will be ignored. These lines shall contain declarations of variables etc.
booDefinitions Lines of code that that will be added before the code provided by the actions to build the system. Typically, this will contain the definition of functions that are used on building. Lines starting with "import" will only be added once to the final code.

Reimplemented from wx.Build.BaseAction.

bool wx.Build.BaseAction.AreAllMandatoryVarsDefined (  )  [inherited]

True iff all mandatory environment variables are defined. The project cannot be made if this is false.

void wx.Build.IBuildAction.CollectChoicePoints ( IDictionary< string, ICollection< string >>  collectionOfChoicePoints  )  [inherited]

This method collects all choice points within this action. Choice points are represented by a name and a collection of alternatives.

Parameters:
collectionOfChoicePoints The collection that will be extended by the choice points of this action.
The current implementation provides a choice point for the compilation and linking of C/C++ programs, "CppDevelopmentSystem" of the alternatives "GCC" and "MS VC". Thus, actions on C/C++ compilation will add the following choice point:
            if (!collectionOfChoicePoints.ContainsKey("CppDevelopmentSystem"))
                collectionOfChoicePoints.Add("CppDevelopmentSystem", new List&lt;string&gt;());

This method collects all choice points within this action. Choice points are represented by a name and a collection of alternatives.

Parameters:
collectionOfChoicePoints The collection that will be extended by the choice points of this action.
The current implementation provides a choice point for the compilation and linking of C/C++ programs, "CppDevelopmentSystem" of the alternatives "GCC" and "MS VC". Thus, actions on C/C++ compilation will add the following choice point:
            if (!collectionOfChoicePoints.ContainsKey("CppDevelopmentSystem"))
                collectionOfChoicePoints.Add("CppDevelopmentSystem", new List&lt;string&gt;());

IBuildAction wx.Build.Cxx.GCC.GccAsLinker.Create ( BuildToolFamilyEnv  env,
IBuildProduct  target,
ICollection< IBuildProduct prerequisites 
)

Creates a particular build action achieving the provided targets provided that the specified prerequisites are known. This shall throw an System.ArgumentException if either targets or prerequisites do are not compatible with the declarations of this class or this class does not implement an actions providing the specified targets for some other reason. However, callers shall not rely on this.

If this action provider is only able to create specific instances of the fiel types as declared in ContentFileTargets , this method will return a null . In that case, this provider will be ignored silently.

The build environment will pass an occasionally empty instance of class BuildToolFamilyEnv where this may retrieve or store information that other tools of the same family have created before or other tools of the same family may use later. Actions MUST ALSO WORK when started with an empty environment.

Implements wx.Build.IBuildActionProvider.

ICollection< ContentType prerequisites 
)

True if the argumetns contain at least one file of ContentType.GccObj.

Parameters:
target currentla irrelevant since this only produces one target.

Returns:
True if the arguments provide sufficient information to produce the target.

Implements wx.Build.IBuildActionProvider.

static bool wx.Build.BaseAction.ReadCollection ( System.Xml.XmlReader  reader,
AdderSerializable  collectorForResults,
string  outerElementName,
string  innerElementName 
) [static, inherited]

Reads a collection of serializable objects from the provided XML source.

Parameters:
reader XML source
collectorForResults This will add the created results to this collection.
outerElementName name of the XML element that will embrace all elements.
innerElementName Name of the XML element that contains the information of a single serialized object.
Returns:
True if the outer element name has been found. False if this has not been able to parse a term complying with the expected content.

void wx.Build.BaseAction.ReadProject ( System.Xml.XmlReader  reader  )  [protected, inherited]

Reads the features as serialized by WriteFeatures().

Parameters:
reader The source of serialized data

static System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable wx.Build.BaseAction.ReadSerializable ( System.Xml.XmlReader  reader,

This reads a serilization that has been created by WriteSerializable(). This only works if an instance of the serialized obejct can be created without arguments.

Parameters:
reader The serialization will be read from this source.
elementName Name of the XML element that encapsulates the serialization.
Returns:
The object instance that has been created from the serialized information.
WriteSerializable

bool wx.Build.IBuildAction.TargetsAreConsistent ( DateTime  validityOfBuildSystem  )  [inherited]

True, if this action is not required to run because all targets are up to date.

Parameters:
validityOfBuildSystem indicates the last change of either this DLL or the assembly defining the project. So, all action will be repeated (even if rebuild is specified) if the project definition changes or the implementation of the build system has been enhanced since the final build. This argument will be computed and propagated by the project.

Implemented in wx.Build.AlternativeBuildActions, wx.Build.SequenceOfBuildActions, and wx.Build.NamedAction.

virtual bool wx.Build.BaseAction.TargetsAreConsistent ( DateTime  validityOfBuildSystem  )  [virtual, inherited]

This simply tests whether the oldest validity of the targets is equal to or more current than the validity of the prerequisites.

Parameters:
validityOfBuildSystem indicates the last change of either this DLL or the assembly defining the project. changes to the build system or the project definition affect of course the validity of the produced targets. Use System.DateTime.MinValue if you do not know or want this to be neglected.

Reimplemented in wx.Build.Cxx.wxWidgets.

static void wx.Build.BaseAction.WriteCollectionOfSerializables ( System.Xml.XmlWriter  writer,
System.Collections.IEnumerable  serializables,
string  outerElementName,
string  innerElementName 
) [static, inherited]

Serializes a collection of serializable objects.

Parameters:
writer This method will write the serialization to this destination.
serializables The collection of object to serialize. All objects must implement System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable.
outerElementName name of the XML element that will embrace all elements.
innerElementName Name of the XML element that contains the information of a single serialized object.

void wx.Build.BaseAction.WriteProject ( System.Xml.XmlWriter  writer  )  [protected, inherited]

This will serialize the feature list in an XML element "feature-list".

Parameters:
writer Destination of serialized data.

static void wx.Build.BaseAction.WriteSerializable ( System.Xml.XmlWriter  writer,
System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable  obj,
string  elementName 
) [static, inherited]

Helper to serialize objects of unknown class. This will create an element of the provided element name and attach attributes "assembly" and "type" to this element. These elements will describe the type of the object to serialize. Then, embedded into this new element, the object will be asked to place its serialization.

Parameters:
obj The object that shall be serialized. May be null
elementName Name of the XML element that will be created.
writer The information will be written to this destination.

Use this method to serialize member variables of unknown type like e.g. wx.Build.IFileProducts. Often, projects refer to members where the only known information is: This implements wx.Build.IFileProducts. The project does not need to know more facts with one exception: When deserializing a XML serialization, the project needs to know the exact class because an object instance has to be created. This method will serialize the corresponding information in such a form, that ReadSerializable() can be used to read the written instance.

IDictionary<string, EnvironmentVarInfo> wx.Build.IBuildAction.UsedVars [get, inherited]

This returns null since useually shell variables are not used by actions. summary> Execute the action and report errors, warnings, and other messages. This will start a build procedure either reusing results of previous builds (rebuild) or making everything from scratch. So, if the desired mode (refer to BuildConfig) is rebuild, this simply does nothing if this action already has been executed with the same prerequisites.

The build environment will pass an occasionally empty instance of class BuildToolFamilyEnv where this may retrieve or store information that other tools of the same family have created before or other tools of the same family may use later. Actions MUST ALSO WORK when started with an empty environment.

Parameters:
validityOfBuildSystem indicates the last change of either this DLL or the assembly defining the project. So, all action will be repeated (even if rebuild is specified) if the project definition changes or the implementation of the build system has been enhanced since the final build. This argument will be computed and propagated by the project.
env Thsi is an environment that different tools of the same family may use to exchange information. This store is typically used to save information on configuration files or thinsgs of that kind that will be shared among all tools of the same family.
Returns:
true on success and false on failure, that should however also be reported to the error handler.

Implemented in wx.Build.AlternativeBuildActions, wx.Build.SequenceOfBuildActions, wx.Build.NamedAction, wx.Build.Cxx.GCC.GccAsCompiler, wx.Build.Cxx.GCC.WindRes, wx.Build.MS.Cl, wx.Build.MS.Link, wx.Build.MS.RC, wx.Build.Release.ReplaceVersionInRCFile, and wx.Build.Release.ReplaceVersionInCSharpFile.

virtual IDictionary<string, EnvironmentVarInfo> wx.Build.BaseAction.UsedVars [get, inherited]
