It\n" " provides a way to add to the built-in target types.\n" "\n" " The template() function is used to declare a template. To invoke the\n" " template, just use the name of the template like any other target\n" " type.\n" "\n" " Often you will want to declare your template in a special file that\n" " other files will import (see \"gn help import\") so your template\n" " rule can be shared across build files.\n" "\n" "More details:\n" "\n" " When you call template() it creates a closure around all variables\n" " currently in scope with the code in the template block. When the\n" " template is invoked, the closure will be executed.\n" "\n" " When the template is invoked, the code in the caller is executed and\n" " passed to the template code as an implicit \"invoker\" variable. The\n" " template uses this to read state out of the invoking code.\n" "\n" " One thing explicitly excluded from the closure is the \"current\n" " directory\" against which relative file names are resolved. The\n" " current directory will be that of the invoking code, since typically\n" " that code specifies the file names. This means all files internal\n" " to the template should use absolute names.\n" "\n" "Target naming:\n" "\n" " Your template should almost always define a built-in target with the\n" " name the template invoker specified. For example, if you have an IDL\n" " template and somebody does:\n" " idl(\"foo\") {...\n" " you will normally want this to expand to something defining a\n" " source_set or static_library named \"foo\" (among other things you may\n" " need). This way, when another target specifies a dependency on\n" " \"foo\", the static_library or source_set will be linked.\n" "\n" " It is also important that any other targets your template expands to\n" " have globally unique names, or you will get collisions.\n" "\n" " Access the invoking name in your template via the implicit\n" " \"target_name\" variable. This should also be the basis of how other\n" " targets that a template expands to to ensure uniquness.\n" "\n" " A typical example would be a template that defines an action to\n" " generate some source files, and a source_set to compile that source.\n" " Your template would name the source_set \"target_name\" because\n" " that's what you want external targets to depend on to link your code.\n" " And you would name the action something like \"${target_name}_action\"\n" " to make it unique. The source set would have a dependency on the\n" " action to make it run.\n" "\n" "Example of defining a template:\n" "\n" " template(\"my_idl\") {\n" " # Be nice and help callers debug problems by checking that the\n" " # variables the template requires are defined. This gives a nice\n" " # message rather than giving the user an error about an\n" " # undefined variable in the file defining the template\n" " #\n" " # You can also use defined() to give default values to variables\n" " # unspecified by the invoker.\n" " assert(defined(invoker.sources),\n" " \"Need sources in $target_name listing the idl files.\")\n" "\n" " # Name of the intermediate target that does the code gen. This must\n" " # incorporate the target name so it's unique across template\n" " # instantiations.\n" " code_gen_target_name = target_name + \"_code_gen\"\n" "\n" " # Intermediate target to convert IDL to C source. Note that the name\n" " # is based on the name the invoker of the template specified. This\n" " # way, each time the template is invoked we get a unique\n" " # intermediate action name (since all target names are in the global\n" " # scope).\n" " action_foreach(code_gen_target_name) {\n" " # Access the scope defined by the invoker via the implicit\n" " # \"invoker\" variable.\n" " sources = invoker.sources\n" "\n" " # Note that we need an absolute path for our script file name.\n" " # The current directory when executing this code will be that of\n" " # the invoker (this is why we can use the \"sources\" directly\n" " # above without having to rebase all of the paths).
