This moves the CompilerSelector fails_with logic into the build
environment setup, making the compiler selection available before
performing actions that depends on knowing what the compiler is, e.g.
setting up PATH.
ENV.setup_build_environment now optionally takes a Formula argument
to provide the information necessary to do the fails_with, and the new
ENV.validate_cc! extracts the fails_with logic from Build.install.
This adds support for non-Apple GCC compilers in the fails_with code.
A fails_with block for a non-Apple compiler looks like:
fails_with :gcc => '4.8.1' do
cause 'Foo'
end
Non-Apple compilers don't have build numbers, so compiler failures are
based on version strings instead.
Internally non-Apple compilers can be distinguished because they are
passed around as strings instead of symbols.
In addition, this alters the priority list for compilers, with the
following changes:
* Apple GCC 4.2 and LLVM-GCC swap positions, with GCC now taking
priority. (Maybe LLVM-GCC should just go away.)
* Non-Apple GCC compilers are ranked below GCC 4.2 but above LLVM-GCC
and Apple GCC 4.0.
This unifies the logic for selecting a compiler between superenv and
stdenv. A variation of superenv's `determine_cc`, which now returns a
symbol, has been moved into the shared ENV extension. Stdenv uses the
result of this directly (as it's always used symbols), while superenv
translates that back into a compiler string.
This also has the effect of disabling HOMEBREW_USE_(gcc|llvm|clang) in
stdenv, which have already been marked as deprecated for some time, and
enables the HOMEBREW_CC= environment variable syntax from superenv in
stdenv.
This allows overriding the "oldest CPU" behaviour - for instance, to
build Intel bottles for a newer CPU than Core 2, to build a PPC bottle
with or without Altivec on the same computer, etc.
On Unix, the path separator is ':', whereas on Windows,
it is ';'. This is the first of a series of patch to bring
macbrew's and winbrew's codebases closer together.
The main places the magic constant ':' was being used were:
- the $PATH environment variable
- CMAKE-related environment variables
- pkg-config related environment variables
