SCons also allows you to identify
the output file and input source files
using Python keyword arguments.
The output file is known as the
target,
and the source file(s) are known (logically enough) as the
source.
The Python syntax for this is:
list = Split('main.c file1.c file2.c')
Program(target = 'program', source = list)
|
Because the keywords explicitly identify
what each argument is,
you can actually reverse the order if you prefer:
list = Split('main.c file1.c file2.c')
Program(source = list, target = 'program')
|
Whether or not you choose to use keyword arguments
to identify the target and source files,
and the order in which you specify them
when using keywords,
are purely personal choices;
SCons functions the same regardless.
