One of the most common things you can do
with a Node is use it to print the
file name that the node represents.
Keep in mind, though, that because the object
returned by a builder call
is a list of Nodes,
you must use Python subscripts
to fetch individual Nodes from the list.
For example, the following SConstruct
file:
object_list = Object('hello.c') program_list = Program(object_list) print("The object file is: %s"%object_list[0]) print("The program file is: %s"%program_list[0])
Would print the following file names on a POSIX system:
% scons -Q
The object file is: hello.o
The program file is: hello
cc -o hello.o -c hello.c
cc -o hello hello.o
And the following file names on a Windows system:
C:\>scons -Q
The object file is: hello.obj
The program file is: hello.exe
cl /Fohello.obj /c hello.c /nologo
link /nologo /OUT:hello.exe hello.obj
embedManifestExeCheck(target, source, env)
Note that in the above example,
the object_list[0]
extracts an actual Node object
from the list,
and the Python print
function
converts the object to a string for printing.
