"""Converts a given gypi file to a python scope and writes the result to stdout. It is assumed that the file contains a toplevel dictionary, and this script will return that dictionary as a GN "scope" (see example below). This script does not know anything about GYP and it will not expand variables or execute conditions. It will strip conditions blocks. A variables block at the top level will be flattened so that the variables appear in the root dictionary. This way they can be returned to the GN code. Say your_file.gypi looked like this: { 'sources': [ 'a.cc', 'b.cc' ], 'defines': [ 'ENABLE_DOOM_MELON' ], } You would call it like this: gypi_values = exec_script("//build/gypi_to_gn.py", [ rebase_path("your_file.gypi") ], "scope", [ "your_file.gypi" ]) Notes: - The rebase_path call converts the gypi file from being relative to the current build file to being system absolute for calling the script, which will have a different current directory than this file. - The "scope" parameter tells GN to interpret the result as a series of GN variable assignments. - The last file argument to exec_script tells GN that the given file is a dependency of the build so Ninja can automatically re-run GN if the file changes. Read the values into a target like this: component("mycomponent") { sources = gypi_values.sources defines = gypi_values.defines } Sometimes your .gypi file will include paths relative to a different directory than the current .gn file. In this case, you can rebase them to be relative to the current directory. sources = rebase_path(gypi_values.sources, ".", "//path/gypi/input/values/are/relative/to") This script will tolerate a 'variables' in the toplevel dictionary or not. If the toplevel dictionary just contains one item called 'variables', it will be collapsed away and the result will be the contents of that dictinoary. Some .gypi files are written with or without this, depending on how they expect to be embedded into a .gyp file. This script also has the ability to replace certain substrings in the input. Generally this is used to emulate GYP variable expansion. If you passed the argument "--replace=<(foo)=bar" then all instances of "<(foo)" in strings in the input will be replaced with "bar": gypi_values = exec_script("//build/gypi_to_gn.py", [ rebase_path("your_file.gypi"), "--replace=<(foo)=bar"], "scope", [ "your_file.gypi" ]) """ import gn_helpers from optparse import OptionParser import sys def LoadPythonDictionary(path): file_string = open(path).read() try: file_data = eval(file_string, {'__builtins__': None}, None) except SyntaxError, e: e.filename = path raise except Exception, e: raise Exception("Unexpected error while reading %s: %s" % (path, str(e))) assert isinstance(file_data, dict), "%s does not eval to a dictionary" % path # Flatten any variables to the top level. if 'variables' in file_data: file_data.update(file_data['variables']) del file_data['variables'] # Strip all elements that this script can't process. elements_to_strip = [ 'conditions', 'target_conditions', 'targets', 'includes', 'actions', ] for element in elements_to_strip: if element in file_data: del file_data[element] return file_data def ReplaceSubstrings(values, search_for, replace_with): """Recursively replaces substrings in a value.
