The abstract base class CCompiler defines the interface that must be
implemented by real compiler classes. The class also has some utility methods
used by several compiler classes.
The basic idea behind a compiler abstraction class is that each instance can be
used for all the compile/link steps in building a single project. Thus,
attributes common to all of those compile and link steps — include
directories, macros to define, libraries to link against, etc. — are
attributes of the compiler instance. To allow for variability in how individual
files are treated, most of those attributes may be varied on a per-compilation
or per-link basis.
The constructor for each subclass creates an instance of the Compiler object.
Flags are verbose (show verbose output), dry_run (don’t actually execute the
steps) and force (rebuild everything, regardless of dependencies). All of
these flags default to 0 (off). Note that you probably don’t want to
instantiate CCompiler or one of its subclasses directly - use the
distutils.CCompiler.new_compiler() factory function instead.
The following methods allow you to manually alter compiler options for the
instance of the Compiler class.
add_include_dir(dir)¶
Add dir to the list of directories that will be searched for header files.
The compiler is instructed to search directories in the order in which they are
supplied by successive calls to add_include_dir().
set_include_dirs(dirs)¶
Set the list of directories that will be searched to dirs (a list of strings).
Overrides any preceding calls to add_include_dir(); subsequent calls to
add_include_dir() add to the list passed to set_include_dirs().
This does not affect any list of standard include directories that the compiler
may search by default.
add_library(libname)¶
Add libname to the list of libraries that will be included in all links driven
by this compiler object. Note that libname should *not* be the name of a
file containing a library, but the name of the library itself: the actual
filename will be inferred by the linker, the compiler, or the compiler class
(depending on the platform).
The linker will be instructed to link against libraries in the order they were
supplied to add_library() and/or set_libraries(). It is perfectly
valid to duplicate library names; the linker will be instructed to link against
libraries as many times as they are mentioned.
set_libraries(libnames)¶
Set the list of libraries to be included in all links driven by this compiler
object to libnames (a list of strings). This does not affect any standard
system libraries that the linker may include by default.
add_library_dir(dir)¶
Add dir to the list of directories that will be searched for libraries
specified to add_library() and set_libraries(). The linker will be
instructed to search for libraries in the order they are supplied to
add_library_dir() and/or set_library_dirs().
set_library_dirs(dirs)¶
Set the list of library search directories to dirs (a list of strings). This
does not affect any standard library search path that the linker may search by
default.
add_runtime_library_dir(dir)¶
Add dir to the list of directories that will be searched for shared libraries
at runtime.
set_runtime_library_dirs(dirs)¶
Set the list of directories to search for shared libraries at runtime to dirs
(a list of strings). This does not affect any standard search path that the
runtime linker may search by default.
define_macro(name[, value=None])¶
Define a preprocessor macro for all compilations driven by this compiler object.
The optional parameter value should be a string; if it is not supplied, then
the macro will be defined without an explicit value and the exact outcome
depends on the compiler used.
undefine_macro(name)¶
Undefine a preprocessor macro for all compilations driven by this compiler
object. If the same macro is defined by define_macro() and
undefined by undefine_macro() the last call takes precedence
(including multiple redefinitions or undefinitions). If the macro is
redefined/undefined on a per-compilation basis (ie. in the call to
compile()), then that takes precedence.
add_link_object(object)¶
Add object to the list of object files (or analogues, such as explicitly named
library files or the output of “resource compilers”) to be included in every
link driven by this compiler object.
set_link_objects(objects)¶
Set the list of object files (or analogues) to be included in every link to
objects. This does not affect any standard object files that the linker may
include by default (such as system libraries).
The following methods implement methods for autodetection of compiler options,
providing some functionality similar to GNU autoconf.
detect_language(sources)¶
Detect the language of a given file, or list of files. Uses the instance
attributes language_map (a dictionary), and language_order (a
list) to do the job.
find_library_file(dirs, lib[, debug=0])¶
Search the specified list of directories for a static or shared library file
lib and return the full path to that file. If debug is true, look for a
debugging version (if that makes sense on the current platform). Return
None if lib wasn’t found in any of the specified directories.
has_function(funcname[, includes=None, include_dirs=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None])¶
Return a boolean indicating whether funcname is supported on the current
platform. The optional arguments can be used to augment the compilation
environment by providing additional include files and paths and libraries and
paths.
library_dir_option(dir)¶
Return the compiler option to add dir to the list of directories searched for
libraries.
library_option(lib)¶
Return the compiler option to add lib to the list of libraries linked into the
shared library or executable.
runtime_library_dir_option(dir)¶
Return the compiler option to add dir to the list of directories searched for
runtime libraries.
set_executables(**args)¶
Define the executables (and options for them) that will be run to perform the
various stages of compilation. The exact set of executables that may be
specified here depends on the compiler class (via the ‘executables’ class
attribute), but most will have:
attribute – 属性
描述
compiler
C/C++ 编译器
linker_so
用于创建共享对象和库的链接器
linker_exe
用于创建二进制可执行文件的链接器
archiver
静态库创建者
On platforms with a command-line (Unix, DOS/Windows), each of these is a string
that will be split into executable name and (optional) list of arguments.
(Splitting the string is done similarly to how Unix shells operate: words are
delimited by spaces, but quotes and backslashes can override this. See
distutils.util.split_quoted().)
The following methods invoke stages in the build process.
compile(sources[, output_dir=None, macros=None, include_dirs=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, depends=None])¶
Compile one or more source files. Generates object files (e.g. transforms a
.c file to a .o file.)
sources must be a list of filenames, most likely C/C++ files, but in reality
anything that can be handled by a particular compiler and compiler class (eg.
MSVCCompiler can handle resource files in sources). Return a list of
object filenames, one per source filename in sources. Depending on the
implementation, not all source files will necessarily be compiled, but all
corresponding object filenames will be returned.
If output_dir is given, object files will be put under it, while retaining
their original path component. That is, foo/bar.c normally compiles to
foo/bar.o (for a Unix implementation); if output_dir is build, then
it would compile to build/foo/bar.o.
macros, if given, must be a list of macro definitions. A macro definition is
either a (name, value) 2-tuple or a (name,) 1-tuple. The former defines
a macro; if the value is None, the macro is defined without an explicit
value. The 1-tuple case undefines a macro. Later
definitions/redefinitions/undefinitions take precedence.
include_dirs, if given, must be a list of strings, the directories to add to
the default include file search path for this compilation only.
debug is a boolean; if true, the compiler will be instructed to output debug
symbols in (or alongside) the object file(s).
extra_preargs and extra_postargs are implementation-dependent. On platforms
that have the notion of a command-line (e.g. Unix, DOS/Windows), they are most
likely lists of strings: extra command-line arguments to prepend/append to the
compiler command line. On other platforms, consult the implementation class
documentation. In any event, they are intended as an escape hatch for those
occasions when the abstract compiler framework doesn’t cut the mustard.
depends, if given, is a list of filenames that all targets depend on. If a
source file is older than any file in depends, then the source file will be
recompiled. This supports dependency tracking, but only at a coarse
granularity.
Raises CompileError on failure.
create_static_lib(objects, output_libname[, output_dir=None, debug=0, target_lang=None])¶
Link a bunch of stuff together to create a static library file. The “bunch of
stuff” consists of the list of object files supplied as objects, the extra
object files supplied to add_link_object() and/or
set_link_objects(), the libraries supplied to add_library() and/or
set_libraries(), and the libraries supplied as libraries (if any).
output_libname should be a library name, not a filename; the filename will be
inferred from the library name. output_dir is the directory where the library
file will be put.
debug is a boolean; if true, debugging information will be included in the
library (note that on most platforms, it is the compile step where this matters:
the debug flag is included here just for consistency).
target_lang is the target language for which the given objects are being
compiled. This allows specific linkage time treatment of certain languages.
Raises LibError on failure.
link(target_desc, objects, output_filename[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None])¶
Link a bunch of stuff together to create an executable or shared library file.
The “bunch of stuff” consists of the list of object files supplied as objects.
output_filename should be a filename. If output_dir is supplied,
output_filename is relative to it (i.e. output_filename can provide
directory components if needed).
libraries is a list of libraries to link against. These are library names,
not filenames, since they’re translated into filenames in a platform-specific
way (eg. foo becomes libfoo.a on Unix and foo.lib on
DOS/Windows). However, they can include a directory component, which means the
linker will look in that specific directory rather than searching all the normal
locations.
library_dirs, if supplied, should be a list of directories to search for
libraries that were specified as bare library names (ie. no directory
component). These are on top of the system default and those supplied to
add_library_dir() and/or set_library_dirs(). runtime_library_dirs
is a list of directories that will be embedded into the shared library and used
to search for other shared libraries that *it* depends on at run-time. (This
may only be relevant on Unix.)
export_symbols is a list of symbols that the shared library will export.
(This appears to be relevant only on Windows.)
debug is as for compile() and create_static_lib(), with the
slight distinction that it actually matters on most platforms (as opposed to
create_static_lib(), which includes a debug flag mostly for form’s
sake).
extra_preargs and extra_postargs are as for compile() (except of
course that they supply command-line arguments for the particular linker being
used).
target_lang is the target language for which the given objects are being
compiled. This allows specific linkage time treatment of certain languages.
Raises LinkError on failure.
link_executable(objects, output_progname[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, target_lang=None])¶
Link an executable. output_progname is the name of the file executable, while
objects are a list of object filenames to link in. Other arguments are as for
the link() method.
link_shared_lib(objects, output_libname[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None])¶
Link a shared library. output_libname is the name of the output library,
while objects is a list of object filenames to link in. Other arguments are
as for the link() method.
link_shared_object(objects, output_filename[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None])¶
Link a shared object. output_filename is the name of the shared object that
will be created, while objects is a list of object filenames to link in.
Other arguments are as for the link() method.
preprocess(source[, output_file=None, macros=None, include_dirs=None, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None])¶
Preprocess a single C/C++ source file, named in source. Output will be written
to file named output_file, or stdout if output_file not supplied.
macros is a list of macro definitions as for compile(), which will
augment the macros set with define_macro() and undefine_macro().
include_dirs is a list of directory names that will be added to the default
list, in the same way as add_include_dir().
Raises PreprocessError on failure.
The following utility methods are defined by the CCompiler class, for
use by the various concrete subclasses.
executable_filename(basename[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])¶
Returns the filename of the executable for the given basename. Typically for
non-Windows platforms this is the same as the basename, while Windows will get
a .exe added.
library_filename(libname[, lib_type='static', strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])¶
Returns the filename for the given library name on the current platform. On Unix
a library with lib_type of 'static' will typically be of the form
liblibname.a, while a lib_type of 'dynamic' will be of the form
liblibname.so.
object_filenames(source_filenames[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])¶
Returns the name of the object files for the given source files.
source_filenames should be a list of filenames.
shared_object_filename(basename[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])¶
Returns the name of a shared object file for the given file name basename.
execute(func, args[, msg=None, level=1])¶
Invokes distutils.util.execute(). This method invokes a Python function
func with the given arguments args, after logging and taking into account
the dry_run flag.
spawn(cmd)¶
Invokes distutils.util.spawn(). This invokes an external process to run
the given command.
mkpath(name[, mode=511])¶
Invokes distutils.dir_util.mkpath(). This creates a directory and any
missing ancestor directories.
move_file(src, dst)¶
announce(msg[, level=1])¶
Write a message using distutils.log.debug().
warn(msg)¶
Write a warning message msg to standard error.
debug_print(msg)¶
If the debug flag is set on this CCompiler instance, print msg to
standard output, otherwise do nothing.
