In develop only is a new feature to make configuring targets at build time easier, from the docs:
[snip]
Let me know what you think, and enjoy :-)
Looks great, thanks for implementing this. A couple of questions:
- Is it possible to use it to conditionally compile parts of the libraries? My gut feeling tells me that it should...
This is a simplified wrapper around an underlying Boost.Build feature, it's a one shot build or don't build feature. The underlying Boost.Build check-target-builds feature allows you to do almost anything, add: [ check-target-builds existing-target : true-properties : false-properties ] To your build requirements: see the Multiprecision test Jamfile for examples of use. John.
- Is it possible to add other checks, not covered by Boost.Config? Either by adding such checks in the library scope or by some other means?
I'm asking because I have conditionally compiled parts in Boost.Log that depend on whether the compiler supports SSE/AVX and message compiler. I also have to compile tests to detect that, and I'd be glad to simplify it somehow.
