Class CCompilingGenerator

v2/tools/builtin.py:550–562

Declare a special compiler generator. The only thing it does is changing the type used to represent 'action' in the constructed dependency graph to 'CompileAction'. That class in turn adds additional include paths to handle a case when a source file includes headers
