Module B0_unit

Build units.

A unit is a named build procedure and an optional action to perform once the unit has built. Units are the smallest unit of build in b0 files.

Either of the build procedure or the action can be a nop. Actions can also require a bit more than the unit itself from the build in order to run.

Build procedures

type build_proc = B0_build.t -> unit B0_std.Fut.t

The type for unit build procedures. Note that when the future determines the build may not be finished.

val build_nop : build_proc

build_nop does nothing.

Units

type t = B0_defs.b0_unit

The type for build units.

val make : ?doc:string -> ?meta:B0_meta.t -> string -> build_proc -> t

make n proc ~doc ~meta ~action is a build unit named n with build procedure proc, synopsis doc and metada meta.

val build_proc : t -> build_proc

proc u are the unit's build procedure.

Built executables

val tool_name : string B0_meta.key

tool_name is an executable name without the platform specific executable extension.

exe_file is an absolute file path to an executable build by the unit.

outcomes is the set of public file outcomes.

val is_public : t -> bool

is_public u is true iff u's meta has B0_meta.public set to true.

val get_or_suggest_tool : keep:(t -> bool) -> string -> (t list, t list) Stdlib.result

get_or_suggest_tool tool_name are tools names whose tool_name match tool_name and are filtered by keep

val tool_is_user_accessible : t -> bool

tool_is_user_accessible u assumes u has a tool name. This then returns true iff u is_public or in_root_scope.

Actions

module Action : sig ... end

Actions.

val is_actionable : t -> bool

actionable u is true if u has an action that can be run. This checks that either u has an exe_file or a `Fun action.

Making unit actions

These helper functions create units with a build_nop build procedure.

val of_action' : ?store:B0_store.binding list -> ?packs:B0_pack.t list -> ?units:t list -> ?dyn_units:(args:B0_std.Cmd.t -> t list) -> ?doc:string -> ?meta:B0_meta.t -> string -> Action.func -> t

of_action' name func is an action named name implemented with action function func. units and packs are units and packs that must be built to run the action. store are store bindings that must be enforced in the build.

val of_action : ?store:B0_store.binding list -> ?packs:B0_pack.t list -> ?units:t list -> ?dyn_units:(args:B0_std.Cmd.t -> t list) -> ?doc:string -> ?meta:B0_meta.t -> string -> (B0_env.t -> t -> args:B0_std.Cmd.t -> (unit, string) Stdlib.result) -> t

of_action is like of_action' but with a function func that evaluates to unit which are turned into Ok Os.Exit.ok.

Command line interaction

Use B0_std_cli to parse actions arguments and Os.Exit for exit codes. Given a suitable Cmdliner term this function can be used to implement the action's command.

TODO Add a quick getopt interface.

val of_cmdliner_cmd : ?store:B0_store.binding list -> ?packs:B0_pack.t list -> ?units:t list -> ?dyn_units:(args:B0_std.Cmd.t -> t list) -> ?doc:string -> ?meta:B0_meta.t -> string -> (B0_env.t -> t -> B0_std.Os.Exit.t Cmdliner.Cmd.t) -> t

of_cmdliner_cmd name cmd is like make_action is an action from the Cmdliner command cmd. See also Action.of_cmdliner_term.

Note. The command is under a thunk to avoid toplevel inits. This entails a bit of repetition for name and doc but you can access those of the action in the thunk to define the cmdliner command.

Tool name map

val tool_name_map : Set.t -> t B0_std.String.Map.t

tool_name_map units are the user accessible tools defined by the set of units units.
