This commit adds the implementation of the configuration mechanism and
applies it for two uses cases:
- building a program (build_project in build_api.py)
- building a library (build_library in build_api.py)
There's also a new method 'get_config' in build_api.py that's used to
return the configuration of a project. Currently, it's used only for
testing, the intention is to use it for the implementation of the 'mbed
config' command.
Tested with various test configurations on the "blinky" example and also
with its own set of tests (to be added in a separate commit).
'make.py' was modified to send the target *name* to build_project, as
opposed to the target *instance*. This is needed because the
coniguration mechanism allows for creating custom targets, but these
targets are not available until the configuration file
mbed_app_config.json is parsed, which happens in build_project (so
before make.py calls 'build_project'). The API of build_project didn't
change, it now accepts both target names and target instances for the
'target' argument.
Known issues:
- doesn't currently work when doing binary builds of the SDK. Currently,
building the SDK is broken in mbed-os, so this will be added later.
- when building tests, the build process ends up calling
'build_project', so the configuration mechanism should play well with
tests. However, this wasn't tested.
A later commit will all documentation for the configuration mechanism.
I ran into this earlier today and yesterday:
If you spelled something wrong/forgot to tab complete and had build succesfully before it woild silently and incorrectly build successfully
Support for compiling static libraries via build.py
Support for build.py --no-archive flag which compiles static library as multiple objects
Change default number of jobs when compiling to 0 (auto)
Fix for relative path issue when compiling, which flattened the output whenever absolute path is passed to --build (make.py and build.py)
Fix for temporary files when pre-processing of assembler files with ARMCC
Fix issue with response files where one of the elements is empty string
