Search for an existing (declared real) member and match it if found.

Find or insert a target based on the file path.

Note: not static since used by type-specific sort() implementations.

How should we hash target and prerequisite sets ($> and $<)? We could hash them as target names (i.e., the same as the $>/< content) or as paths (only

Return true if the compiler supports -isystem (GCC class) or /external:I (MSVC class).

Similar to target::matched() but for the load phase.

Normalize a path. Also make the relative path absolute using the specified directory unless it is already absolute.

Try to parse a semantic-like version from the specified position. Return 0-version if the version is invalid.

If the file exists, not empty and not larger than 4KB print it to the diag record. The file content goes from the new line and is not indented.

Resolve installation directory name to absolute and normalized directory path. Return all the super-directories leading up to the destination (last).

Standard library detection for GCC-class compilers. The src argument should detect the standard library based on the preprocessor macros and output t

Quote if empty or contains spaces or any of the command line special characters.

Convert value of an arbitrary type to string.

If type is false, don't print the value's type (e.g., because it is the same as variable's).

Return a list of elements that match (matching is true) or don't match (matching is false) the regular expression. See filter_match() and filter_out_m

Return those elements of a list which have a match (matching is true) or have no match (matching is false) between the regular expression and some/any

Return true if any of the list elements match the regular expression. See find_match() overloads (below) for details.

Serialize current target and, if tgt is not NULL, start the new target. Note that we always serialize directories as top-level entries. And theoretic

Sanitize cl.exe options.

Sense whether this is a diagnostics line returning in the first half of pair the position of the NNNN code in XNNNN and npos otherwise. If the first h

print_diag()

Return the process path and its arguments.

Look for the substring backwards in the [0, n) range.

If inherit is false, then don't rely on inheritance from outer scopes. @@ We are modifying the module (marking additional variables as saved) and thi

Source (once) pre-*.build (pre is true) or post-*.build (otherwise) hooks from the specified directory (build/{bootstrap,root}/ of out_root) which mus

Detect if just <name> in the <name>[@<path>] form is actually <path>. We assume it is <path> and not <name> if it contains a directory component or is

Execute the specified recipe (if any) and the scope operation callbacks (if any/applicable) then merge and return the resulting target state.

Note: allowed to change pre if succeeds.

Return the processed target name as well as the project directory, if any. Absent project directory means nothing importable for this target was foun

Note: should not fail if mo is NULL (see info_subprojects() below).

If the work_queue is absent, then we don't wait. While already applied or executed targets are normally not locked, if options contain any bits that

Note: not static since also called by rule::sub_match().

This function as well as perform_execute() below are littered with ugly special cases to support update-during-load. This is unfortunate but felt like
