Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, name, directory, fs)
(Constructor)

source code 

Initialize a generic Node.FS.Base object.

Call the superclass initialization, take care of setting up our relative and absolute paths, identify our parent directory, and indicate that this node should use signatures.

Overrides: object.__init__
(inherited documentation)

scanner_key(self)

source code 
Overrides: Node.scanner_key

get_contents(self)

source code 
Fetch the contents of the entry.
Overrides: Node.get_contents
(inherited documentation)

get_size(self)

source code 
Decorators:
  • @SCons.Memoize.CountMethodCall

get_timestamp(self)

source code 
Decorators:
  • @SCons.Memoize.CountMethodCall

get_stored_info(self)

source code 
Decorators:
  • @SCons.Memoize.CountMethodCall
Overrides: Node.get_stored_info

get_stored_implicit(self)

source code 
Fetch the stored implicit dependencies
Overrides: Node.get_stored_implicit
(inherited documentation)

get_found_includes(self, env, scanner, path)

source code 
Return the included implicit dependencies in this file. Cache results so we only scan the file once per path regardless of how many times this information is requested.
Decorators:
  • @SCons.Memoize.CountDictCall(_get_found_includes_key)
Overrides: Node.get_found_includes

push_to_cache(self)

source code 
Try to push the node into a cache
Overrides: Node.push_to_cache

retrieve_from_cache(self)

source code 

Try to retrieve the node's content from a cache

This method is called from multiple threads in a parallel build, so only do thread safe stuff here. Do thread unsafe stuff in built().

Returns true if the node was successfully retrieved.

Overrides: Node.retrieve_from_cache

visited(self)

source code 
Called just after this node has been visited (with or without a build).
Overrides: Node.visited
(inherited documentation)

release_target_info(self)

source code 

Called just after this node has been marked up-to-date or was built completely.

This is where we try to release as many target node infos as possible for clean builds and update runs, in order to minimize the overall memory consumption.

We'd like to remove a lot more attributes like self.sources and self.sources_set, but they might get used in a next build step. For example, during configuration the source files for a built *.o file are used to figure out which linker to use for the resulting Program (gcc vs. g++)! That's why we check for the 'keep_targetinfo' attribute, config Nodes and the Interactive mode just don't allow an early release of most variables.

In the same manner, we can't simply remove the self.attributes here. The smart linking relies on the shared flag, and some parts of the java Tool use it to transport information about nodes...

@see: built() and Node.release_target_info()

Overrides: Node.release_target_info

has_src_builder(self)

source code 

Return whether this Node has a source builder or not.

If this Node doesn't have an explicit source code builder, this is where we figure out, on the fly, if there's a transparent source code builder for it.

Note that if we found a source builder, we also set the self.builder attribute, so that all of the methods that actually build this file don't have to do anything different.

alter_targets(self)

source code 
Return any corresponding targets in a variant directory.
Overrides: Node.alter_targets

make_ready(self)

source code 

Get a Node ready for evaluation.

This is called before the Taskmaster decides if the Node is up-to-date or not. Overriding this method allows for a Node subclass to be disambiguated if necessary, or for an implicit source builder to be attached.

Overrides: Node.make_ready
(inherited documentation)

prepare(self)

source code 
Prepare for this file to be created.
Overrides: Node.prepare

remove(self)

source code 
Remove this file.
Overrides: Node.remove

exists(self)

source code 
Does this node exists?
Decorators:
  • @SCons.Memoize.CountMethodCall
Overrides: Node.exists
(inherited documentation)

get_csig(self)

source code 

Generate a node's content signature, the digested signature of its content.

node - the node cache - alternate node to use for the signature cache returns - the content signature

Overrides: Node.get_csig

builder_set(self, builder)

source code 
Overrides: Node.builder_set

built(self)

source code 

Called just after this File node is successfully built.

Just like for 'release_target_info' we try to release some more target node attributes in order to minimize the overall memory consumption.

@see: release_target_info

Overrides: Node.built

changed(self, node=None, allowcache=False)

source code 

Returns if the node is up-to-date with respect to the BuildInfo stored last time it was built.

For File nodes this is basically a wrapper around Node.changed(), but we allow the return value to get cached after the reference to the Executor got released in release_target_info().

@see: Node.changed()

Overrides: Node.changed

is_up_to_date(self)

source code 
Default check for whether the Node is current: unknown Node subtypes are always out of date, so they will always get built.
Overrides: Node.is_up_to_date
(inherited documentation)

rfile(self)

source code 
Decorators:
  • @SCons.Memoize.CountMethodCall
Overrides: Base.rfile

rstr(self)

source code 
A Node.FS.Base object's string representation is its path name.
Overrides: Base.__str__
(inherited documentation)

get_cachedir_csig(self)

source code 

Fetch a Node's content signature for purposes of computing another Node's cachesig.

This is a wrapper around the normal get_csig() method that handles the somewhat obscure case of using CacheDir with the -n option. Any files that don't exist would normally be "built" by fetching them from the cache, but the normal get_csig() method will try to open up the local file, which doesn't exist because the -n option meant we didn't actually pull the file from cachedir. But since the file does actually exist in the cachedir, we can use its contents for the csig.

Overrides: Node.get_cachedir_csig

get_contents_sig(self)

source code 

A helper method for get_cachedir_bsig.

It computes and returns the signature for this node's contents.

get_cachedir_bsig(self)

source code 

Return the signature for a cached file, including its children.

It adds the path of the cached file to the cache signature, because multiple targets built by the same action will all have the same build signature, and we have to differentiate them somehow.
