Lists are somtimes used in configurations as replacement for tuples.
Providing length gives an easy way to detect usage errors.

Numerical values are used at some places in justbuild: as value for
timeout scaling, as well as by the "range" expression that is used,
e.g., to define repreated test runs. Therefore, improve support
for numerical values by adding basic operations.

Adds documentation for the new proto requests required for the
'to_git' pragma root handling, as well as general syncing of root
trees. Also adds clarifying comments on handling of absent roots by
just-mr.

... as an overlay for the configuration, not the configuration
to be used for the target to configure.

While a foldl is enough to implement a reverse functionality,
adding it as a built in allows doing so in linear time.

|
... to obtain from a list of strings a map with those entries
as keys and true as value. In this way, repeated membership tests
in lists can be implemented more efficiently.

We now allow restrictive use of upwards symbolic links when
importing filesystem directories and archives to git.

... but an implemented concept. Update the documentation accordingly.

Also link it in the README.

via a 'SYMLINK' constructor function. This works similarly to the
'FILE' construct, but the name given must point to a non-upwards
symlink and a symlink artifact is being generated from it.
Also updates the relevant tests.

... so that for every construct supported in rules there is
an analogous one as a built-in rule to allow ad-hoc constructions
without having to write a rule (even though writing a rule is
recommended for everything occuring more than once):
- the "generic" rule allows an ad-hoc ACTION,
- the "file_gen" rule allows an ad-hoc BLOB,
- the "tree" rule allows an an ad-hoc TREE, and
- the "configure" rule allows an ad-hoc configuration transition.
|
|
The built-in rule configure carries out a full configuration
transition. While this is useful in quite a few situations,
care has to be taken to avoid conflicts on dependencies also
used in other ways by the calling target. Document this more
clearly in the documentation.
|
|
... and thus allowing the "business logic" in the configuration
target (e.g., setting defaults and derived options) to be shared
by many targets.

Like file or tree references, globs are restricted to the current
module; in fact, by the way we evaluate them, even to the top-level
directory of that module: a glob is a target having as artifacts and
runfiles those entries of the top-level directory of the specified
module that match the given pattern.

|
While there, fix a few typos in the same document as well.

Before this patch, the built-in "generic" type allowed for just output
files, listed in the field "outs". Now, the type also supports output
directories, listed in the "out_dirs" field. The output directories
are created before the command is executed.

In our semantics, it was always intended that names are completely
opaque and only used by passing them to functions providing
information about a target. However, we never enforced that they not
be compared for equality, even though we always had this in mind,
and the computation of the target-level cache key was designed with
this semantics in mind. Enforce this restriction now.
|
|

|
In the defining expression of a rule, the TREE function is also
available. Document this.

Add a function transforming a list into a map. In this way, artifacts
collected positionally in a list can easily be realized as a stage
used for input to an action or output of a target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... and detect conflicts araising this way. Also normalize
the paths after staging them to the specified subdir.
|
|
Our maps serve two purposes: on the one hand, they can be a generic
key-value association with arbitrary strings as keys. On the other
hand, we use them to describe arrangements of files (inputs to actions,
artifacts or runfiles generated). In this function, certain keys refer
to the same path and hence have to be identifed. Therefore, at places
where the keys clearly have to be paths in the file system, implicitly
normalize them and check for conflicts.
|
|
While there, also fix a few typos.

A complete documentation of a rule should not only include how to
use it (i.e., which fields are present and what is their meaning)
but also what the result is. This is particularly true, as the result
is structured and can contain some complex logic or conventions in
the provided information.
