Intro

-----
|

|
|
|

|
|
This is a collection of notes that are hopefully of interest to those
|
||
|
|
who decide to dive into Configure and what it does. This is a living
|
||
|
|
document and anyone is encouraged to add to it and submit changes.
|
||
|
|
There's no claim for this document to be complete at any time, but it
|
||
|
|
will hopefully reach such a point in time.

Parsing build.info files, processing conditions
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Processing conditions in build.info files is done with the help of a
|
||
|
|
condition stack that tell if a build.info should be processed or if it
|
||
|
|
should just be skipped over. The possible states of the stack top are
|
||
|
|
expressed in the following comment from Configure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# The top item of this stack has the following values
|
||
|
|
# -2 positive already run and we found ELSE (following ELSIF should fail)
|
||
|
|
# -1 positive already run (skip until ENDIF)
|
||
|
|
# 0 negatives so far (if we're at a condition, check it)
|
||
|
|
# 1 last was positive (don't skip lines until next ELSE, ELSIF or ENDIF)
|
||
|
|
# 2 positive ELSE (following ELSIF should fail)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ground rule is that non-condition lines are skipped over if the
|
||
|
|
stack top is > 0. Condition lines (IF, ELSIF, ELSE and ENDIF
|
||
|
|
statements) need to be processed either way to keep track of the skip
|
||
|
|
stack states, so they are a little more intricate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instead of trying to describe in words, here are some example of what
|
||
|
|
the skip stack should look like after each line is processed:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example 1:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| IF[1] | 1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is processed |
|
||
|
|
| IF[1] | 1 1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is processed |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | 1 -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSE | 1 -2 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ENDIF | 1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is processed |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| IF[1] | -1 -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | -1 -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSE | -1 -2 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ENDIF | -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ENDIF | | |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example 2:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| IF[0] | 0 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| IF[1] | 0 -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | 0 -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSE | 0 -2 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ENDIF | 0 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | 1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is processed |
|
||
|
|
| IF[1] | 1 1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is processed |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | 1 -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSE | 1 -2 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ENDIF | 1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is processed |
|
||
|
|
| ENDIF | | |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example 3:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| IF[0] | 0 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| IF[0] | 0 -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | 0 -1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSE | 0 -2 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ENDIF | 0 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | 1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is processed |
|
||
|
|
| IF[0] | 1 0 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ELSIF[1] | 1 1 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is processed |
|
||
|
|
| ELSE | 1 -2 | |
|
||
|
|
| ... whatever ... | | this line is skipped over |
|
||
|
|
| ENDIF | 1 | |
