Class CCTask

public class CCTask extends Task

Compile and link task.

This task can compile various source languages and produce executables, shared libraries (aka DLL's) and static libraries. Compiler adaptors are currently available for several C/C++ compilers, FORTRAN, MIDL and Windows Resource files.

  2. Add type and task definitions to the build file:
    • Ant 1.6 or later:
      • Add xmlns:cpptasks="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib.cpptasks" to <project> element.
      • Add <cpptasks:cc/>, <cpptasks:compiler/> and <cpptasks:linker/> elements to the project.

      • Add <taskdef resource="cpptasks.tasks"/> and <typedef resource="cpptasks.types"/> to body of <project> element.
      • Add <cc/>, <compiler/> and <linker/> elements to the project.

public CCTask()

Method Detail

addConfiguredCompiler

public void addConfiguredCompiler(CompilerDef compiler)
Adds a compiler definition or reference.

Parameters: compiler compiler

Throws: NullPointerException if compiler is null

addConfiguredCompilerArg

public void addConfiguredCompilerArg(CompilerArgument arg)
Adds a compiler command-line arg. Argument will be inherited by all nested compiler elements that do not have inherit="false".

addConfiguredDefineset

Adds a distributer definition or reference (Non-functional prototype).

Parameters: distributer distributer

Throws: NullPointerException if compiler is null

addConfiguredLinker

public void addConfiguredLinker(LinkerDef linker)
Adds a linker definition. The first linker that is not disqualified by its "if" and "unless" attributes will perform the link. If no child linker element is active, the linker implied by the cc elements name or classname attribute will be used.

Parameters: linker linker

Throws: NullPointerException if linker is null

addConfiguredLinkerArg

public void addConfiguredLinkerArg(LinkerArgument arg)
Adds a linker command-line arg. Argument will be inherited by all nested linker elements that do not have inherit="false".

addConfiguredTarget

public void addConfiguredTarget(TargetDef target)
Adds a target definition or reference (Non-functional prototype).

Parameters: target target

Throws: NullPointerException if compiler is null

addConfiguredVersioninfo

addEnv

public void addEnv(Variable var)
Add an environment variable to the launched process.

addFileset

public void addFileset(ConditionalFileSet srcSet)
Adds a source file set. Files in these filesets will be auctioned to the available compiler configurations, with the default compiler implied by the cc element bidding last. If no compiler is interested in the file, it will be passed to the linker. To have a file be processed by a particular compiler configuration, add a fileset to the corresponding compiler element.

addLibset

public void addLibset(LibrarySet libset)
Adds a library set. Library sets will be inherited by all linker elements that do not have inherit="false".

Parameters: libset library set

Throws: NullPointerException if libset is null.

public void addProject(ProjectDef projectDef)
Specifies the generation of IDE project file. Experimental.

Parameters: projectDef project file generation specification

addSyslibset

public void addSyslibset(SystemLibrarySet libset)
Adds a system library set. Timestamps and locations of system library sets are not used in dependency analysis. Essential libraries (such as C Runtime libraries) should not be specified since the task will attempt to identify the correct libraries based on the multithread, debug and runtime attributes. System library sets will be inherited by all linker elements that do not have inherit="false".

Parameters: libset library set

Throws: NullPointerException if libset is null.

Specifies precompilation prototype file and exclusions. Inherited by all compilers that do not have inherit="false".

createSysIncludePath

public SystemIncludePath createSysIncludePath()
Adds a system include path. Locations and timestamps of files located using the system include paths are not used in dependency analysis. Standard include locations should not be specified. The compiler adapters should recognized the settings from the appropriate environment variables or configuration files. System include paths will be inherited by nested compiler elements that do not have inherit="false".
