- Updated build and run commands to accept a --target option for specifying target platforms. - Enhanced documentation to include cross-compilation usage and supported targets. - Modified configuration to allow target-specific settings and toolchains. - Introduced a new test command to run project tests with specified profiles and targets. - Improved handling of target directories and output structure for different platforms. - Added support for multiple targets in the configuration file. - Implemented inheritance for workspace and dependencies based on target and profile.

# Compilers & linking
|
|
|
|
## Compiler backend selection
|
|
|
|
DCR picks a backend from `build.compiler`:
|
|
|
|
- contains `clang-cl` -> MSVC backend
|
|
- equals `as` or contains `gas` -> GAS backend (standalone assembler)
|
|
- contains `gcc` or `g++` -> GCC backend
|
|
- contains `clang` or `clang++` -> Clang backend
|
|
- equals `cl` or contains `msvc` -> MSVC backend
|
|
- contains `nasm` -> NASM backend
|
|
- otherwise -> Clang backend fallback
|
|
|
|
## Compilation model
|
|
|
|
- Source files are found recursively in `src/` based on `build.language`.
|
|
- `build.roots` and `build.src_disable` can replace the default `src/` root.
|
|
- Mixed language builds use arrays, for example `build.language = ["c", "asm"]`.
|
|
- Each source is compiled to `target/<target>/<profile>/obj/<relative-path>.o` (`.obj` on MSVC, where `<target>` is `native` or target triple).
|
|
- Recompile happens when source mtime is newer than object mtime.
|
|
- `build.exclude` removes paths from source/header collection; `build.include` re-allows matching paths and has priority over `exclude`.
|
|
|
|
## Default build flags
|
|
|
|
These flags are applied automatically based on profile and compiler backend.
|
|
|
|
GCC/Clang:
|
|
|
|
- `debug`: `-O0 -g -Wall -Wextra -fno-omit-frame-pointer -DDCR_DEBUG`
|
|
- `release`: `-O3 -DNDEBUG`
|
|
|
|
MSVC:
|
|
|
|
- `debug`: `/Od /Zi /W4 /DDCR_DEBUG /Oy-`
|
|
- `release`: `/O2 /DNDEBUG`
|
|
|
|
Note: If custom `cflags` are set in `dcr.toml`, default profile flags are disabled to allow full control.
|
|
|
|
## Platform hint
|
|
|
|
If `build.platform` is set, DCR passes it as an architecture hint:
|
|
|
|
- GCC/Clang: `-march=<platform>`
|
|
- MSVC: maps to `/arch:*` for known values (`x86`, `i386`, `i486`, `i586`, `i686`, `sse2`, `avx`, `avx2`)
|
|
|
|
## Toolchain overrides
|
|
|
|
If `[toolchain]` is set, DCR uses its values to override compiler/linker tools:
|
|
|
|
- `cc`, `cxx`, `as` override compilers for C/C++/ASM
|
|
- `ar` overrides the archiver (used for `staticlib`)
|
|
- `ld` overrides the linker (used by GCC/Clang/NASM/GAS backends)
|
|
- `uic`, `moc`, `rcc` override Qt tools used in `build.steps`
|
|
|
|
Environment overrides (highest priority):
|
|
- `DCR_COMPILER` (all languages)
|
|
- `DCR_CC`, `DCR_CXX`, `DCR_AS`, `DCR_AR`, `DCR_LD`
|
|
- `DCR_DEBUG` enables verbose build logging
|
|
|
|
## Linking
|
|
|
|
For `kind = "bin"`:
|
|
|
|
- Object files are linked into executable artifact.
|
|
- Dependency lib dirs and library names are passed to linker.
|
|
- `build.ldflags` are appended to link command.
|
|
|
|
For `kind = "staticlib"`:
|
|
|
|
- Linux/macOS (GCC/Clang): `ar rcs` creates `.a` archive.
|
|
- Windows (MSVC): `lib` creates `.lib` archive.
|
|
|
|
For `kind = "sharedlib"`:
|
|
|
|
- Linux (GCC/Clang): `-shared` with output `.so`.
|
|
- macOS (Clang): `-dynamiclib` with output `.dylib`.
|
|
- Windows (MSVC): `/LD` with output `.dll`.
