RE: [cdt-dev] Questions to Build Macro Tool Integrator interface

["Sennikovsky, Mikhail" <mikhail.sennikovsky@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lars,

 

No, this is not a known issue. I have tested the case you are talking about and everything seems to work fine for me: the tool-intergator build macros are displayed in UI and resolved in the makefile.

Could you provide me with some more detailed information regarding your problem:

>(3) If I use macros in the MBS grammar or option values they are NOT resolved, neither are any calls to getMacro() nor getMacros() made

Do you mean that the macro references are kept unresolved in the makefile or they are resolved to an empty string?

E.g. if you have the “some string ${YourMacro}” value for some option, does it appear in the makefile as is (“some string ${YourMacro}”) or the build macro reference disappears (“some string ”)?

What are the types of those options that contain your macros? Is that a STRING, STRING-LIST, INCLUDE_PATH, etc. ?

 
(4) If I use built-in macros such as ${BuildArtifactFileExt} they do get resolved, while my own are not.
Did you try to use some built-in configuration-specific and project-specific macros, e.g. ${ConfigName}, ${ProjName}, etc. Do they get resolved correctly?

 

The macro resolution should be invoked in the buildfile generator while generating the buildfile. As for the Gnu tool-chain, the macro resolution is invoked from within the GnuMakefileGenerator. Are you using the GnuMakefileGenerator or some other buildfile generator for your tool-chains?

Also the macro resolving behavior depends on some attributes of the builder, namely “variableFormat”, “isVariableCaseSensitive”, “reservedMacroNames” and a set of the “macroXXXValue” attributes. Actually all these attributes should not affect the resolution of the tool-integrator provided macros, but I suppose this might be not true in case there is some bug in the code, so I have to check this also. What are those attributes for your builder?

 

Thank you,

Mikhail

Subject: [cdt-dev] Questions to Build Macro Tool Integrator interface

 

Hi,
I have been trying out the IConfigurationBuildMacroSupplier interface of the build macro code and am having some problems. First what works:
(1) The macros that I have defined appear in the build settings UI with the correct values.
(2) The getMacros() and getMacro() calls are called correctly when the UI is initialized
What doesn't work:
(3) If I use macros in the MBS grammar or option values they are NOT resolved, neither are any calls to getMacro() nor getMacros() made
(4) If I use built-in macros such as ${BuildArtifactFileExt} they do get resolved, while my own are not.
Is this a known issue? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
-- Lars
