Public API for expand template
expand_template_rule(name, data, out, is_executable, stamp, stamp_substitutions, substitutions, template)
Template expansion
This performs a simple search over the template file for the keys in substitutions, and replaces them with the corresponding values.
Values may also use location templates as documented in
expand_locations
as well as configuration variables
such as $(BINDIR)
, $(TARGET_CPU)
, and $(COMPILATION_MODE)
as documented in
expand_variables.
ATTRIBUTES
Name | Description | Type | Mandatory | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
name | A unique name for this target. | Name | required | |
data | List of targets for additional lookup information. | List of labels | optional | [] |
out | Where to write the expanded file. If the template is a source file, then out defaults to be named the same as the template file and outputted to the same workspace-relative path. In this case there will be no pre-declared label for the output file. It can be referenced by the target label instead. This pattern is similar to copy_to_bin but with substitutions on the copy.Otherwise, out defaults to [name].txt . |
Label | optional | None |
is_executable | Whether to mark the output file as executable. | Boolean | optional | False |
stamp | Whether to encode build information into the output. Possible values: - stamp = 1 : Always stamp the build information into the output, even in --nostamp builds. This setting should be avoided, since it is non-deterministic. It potentially causes remote cache misses for the target and any downstream actions that depend on the result. - stamp = 0 : Never stamp, instead replace build information by constant values. This gives good build result caching. - stamp = -1 : Embedding of build information is controlled by the --[no]stamp flag. Stamped targets are not rebuilt unless their dependencies change. |
Integer | optional | -1 |
stamp_substitutions | Mapping of strings to substitutions. There are overlaid on top of substitutions when stamping is enabled for the target. Substitutions can contain |
Dictionary: String -> String | optional | {} |
substitutions | Mapping of strings to substitutions. Substitutions can contain |
Dictionary: String -> String | optional | {} |
template | The template file to expand. | Label | required |
