2020-07-28SCons: Refactor running commands through buildersAndrii Doroshenko (Xrayez)
A new `env.Run` method is added which allows to control the verbosity of builders output automatically depending on whether the "verbose" option is set. It also allows to optionally run any SCons commands in a subprocess using the existing `run_in_subprocess` method, unifying the interface. `Action` objects wrap all builder functions to include a short build message associated with any action. Notably, this removes quite verbose output generated by `make_doc_header` and `make_editor_icons_action` builders.
2020-03-30SCons: Format buildsystem files with psf/blackRémi Verschelde
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters. psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us, but some things worth noting: - Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on the same line and should be manually merged again. - Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful, since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings). - CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
2020-03-25SCons: Drop support for Python 2Rémi Verschelde
We now require SCons 3.0+ (first version with Python 3 support), and we set min required Python 3 version to 3.5 (3.4 and earlier are EOL).
2018-07-30Fixed short circuiting on non-Windows platformsViktor Ferenczi
2018-07-30Fixed Mac build by running builders in subprocess only on WindowsViktor Ferenczi
Also passing serializable SCons environment variables (env) for compatibility with debug builds (search for uses of env in make functions)
2018-07-27Running builder (content generator) functions in subprocesses on WindowsViktor Ferenczi
- Refactored all builder (make_*) functions into separate Python modules along to the build tree - Introduced utility function to wrap all invocations on Windows, but does not change it elsewhere - Introduced stub to use the builders module as a stand alone script and invoke a selected function There is a problem with file handles related to writing generated content (*.gen.h and *.gen.cpp) on Windows, which randomly causes a SHARING VIOLATION error to the compiler resulting in flaky builds. Running all such content generators in a new subprocess instead of directly inside the build script works around the issue. Yes, I tried the multiprocessing module. It did not work due to conflict with SCons on cPickle. Suggested workaround did not fully work either. Using the run_in_subprocess wrapper on osx and x11 platforms as well for consistency. In case of running a cross-compilation on Windows they would still be used, but likely it will not happen in practice. What counts is that the build itself is running on which platform, not the target platform. Some generated files are written directly in an SConstruct or SCsub file, before the parallel build starts. They don't need to be written in a subprocess, apparently, so I left them as is.
