Inside a target or template invocation, this variable refers to the name

|

This is most often used in template definitions to name targets defined in

ensure generated targets have unique names and to generate a target with the

Be aware that this value will always reflect the innermost scope. So when

defining a target inside a template, target_name will refer to the target

rather than the template invocation. To get the name of the template

invocation in this case, you should save target_name to a temporary variable

This should be set to the most specific value possible. So, "android" or

|

A list of target labels. Must be a subset of the target's "deps". These
|
||
targets will be permitted to include headers from the current target despite
|
||
the dependency going in the opposite direction.
|
||
|
||
When you use this, both targets must be included in a final binary for it to
|
||
link. To keep linker errors from happening, it is good practice to have all
|
||
external dependencies depend only on one of the two targets, and to set the
|
||
visibility on the other to enforce this. Thus the targets will always be
|
||
linked together in any output.
|
||
|
||
Details
|
||
|
||
Normally, for a file in target A to include a file from target B, A must list
|
||
B as a dependency. This invariant is enforced by the "gn check" command (and
|
||
the --check flag to "gn gen" -- see "gn help check").
|
||
|
||
Sometimes, two targets might be the same unit for linking purposes (two
|
||
source sets or static libraries that would always be linked together in a
|
||
final executable or shared library) and they each include headers from the
|
||
other: you want A to be able to include B's headers, and B to include A's
|
||
headers. This is not an ideal situation but is sometimes unavoidable.
|
||
|
||
This list, if specified, lists which of the dependencies of the current
|
||
target can include header files from the current target. That is, if A
|
||
depends on B, B can only include headers from A if it is in A's
|
||
allow_circular_includes_from list. Normally includes must follow the
|
||
direction of dependencies, this flag allows them to go in the opposite
|
||
direction.
|
||
|
||
Danger
|
||
|
||
In the above example, A's headers are likely to include headers from A's
|
||
dependencies. Those dependencies may have public_configs that apply flags,
|
||
defines, and include paths that make those headers work properly.
|
||
|
||
With allow_circular_includes_from, B can include A's headers, and
|
||
transitively from A's dependencies, without having the dependencies that
|
||
would bring in the public_configs those headers need. The result may be
|
||
errors or inconsistent builds.
|
||
|
||
So when you use allow_circular_includes_from, make sure that any compiler
|
||
settings, flags, and include directories are the same between both targets
|
||
(consider putting such things in a shared config they can both reference).
|
||
Make sure the dependencies are also the same (you might consider a group to
|
||
collect such dependencies they both depend on).
|
||
|
||
Example
|
||
|
||
source_set("a") {
|
||
deps = [ ":b", ":a_b_shared_deps" ]
|
||
allow_circular_includes_from = [ ":b" ]
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
source_set("b") {
|
||
deps = [ ":a_b_shared_deps" ]
|
||
# Sources here can include headers from a despite lack of deps.
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
group("a_b_shared_deps") {

A list of label patterns.
|

|

This list is a list of patterns that must not match any of the transitive
|
||
dependencies of the target. These include all public, private, and data
|
||
dependencies, and cross shared library boundaries. This allows you to express
|
||
that undesirable code isn't accidentally added to downstream dependencies in
|
||
a way that might otherwise be difficult to notice.
|
||
|
||
Checking does not cross executable boundaries. If a target depends on an
|
||
executable, it's assumed that the executable is a tool that is producing part
|
||
of the build rather than something that is linked and distributed. This
|
||
allows assert_no_deps to express what is distributed in the final target
|
||
rather than depend on the internal build steps (which may include
|
||
non-distributable code).
|
||
|
||
See "gn help label_pattern" for the format of the entries in the list. These
|
||
patterns allow blacklisting individual targets or whole directory
|
||
hierarchies.
|
||
|
||
Sometimes it is desirable to enforce that many targets have no dependencies
|
||
on a target or set of targets. One efficient way to express this is to create
|
||
a group with the assert_no_deps rule on it, and make that group depend on all
|
||
targets you want to apply that assertion to.

|
||
|
||
A static library normally doesn't include code from dependencies, but instead
|
||
forwards the static libraries and source sets in its deps up the dependency
|
||
chain until a linkable target (an executable or shared library) is reached.
|
||
The final linkable target only links each static library once, even if it
|
||
appears more than once in its dependency graph.
|
||
|
||
In some cases the static library might be the final desired output. For
|
||
example, you may be producing a static library for distribution to third
|
||
parties. In this case, the static library should include code for all
|
||
dependencies in one complete package. However, complete static libraries
|
||
themselves are never linked into other complete static libraries. All
|
||
complete static libraries are for distribution and linking them in would
|
||
cause code duplication in this case. If the static library is not for
|
||
distribution, it should not be complete.
|
||
|
||
GN treats non-complete static libraries as source sets when they are linked
|
||
into complete static libraries. This is done because some tools like AR do
|
||
not handle dependent static libraries properly. This makes it easier to write
|
||
"alink" rules.
|
||
|
||
In rare cases it makes sense to list a header in more than one target if it
|
||
could be considered conceptually a member of both. libraries.

|
||
|

static_library("foo") {

appended in the order they appear to the compile command for each file in the
|
||
target. They will appear after the include_dirs, defines, etc. that the
|
||
target sets directly.
|
||
|
||
Since configs apply after the values set on a target, directly setting a
|
||
compiler flag will prepend it to the command line. If you want to append a
|
||
flag instead, you can put that flag in a one-off config and append that
|
||
config to the target's configs list.
|
||
|

The build configuration script will generally set up the default configs

|
||
|
||
Configs on a config
|
||
|
||
It is possible to create composite configs by specifying configs on a config.
|
||
One might do this to forward values, or to factor out blocks of settings from
|
||
very large configs into more manageable named chunks.
|
||
|
||
In this case, the composite config is expanded to be the concatenation of its
|
||
own values, and in order, the values from its sub-configs *before* anything
|
||
else happens. This has some ramifications:
|
||
|
||
- A target has no visibility into a config's sub-configs. Target code only
|
||
sees the name of the composite config. It can't remove sub-configs or opt
|
||
in to only parts of it. The composite config may not even be defined
|
||
before the target is.
|
||
|
||
- You can get duplication of values if a config is listed twice, say, on a
|
||
target and in a sub-config that also applies. In other cases, the configs
|
||
applying to a target are de-duped. It's expected that if a config is
|
||
listed as a sub-config that it is only used in that context. (Note that
|
||
it's possible to fix this and de-dupe, but it's not normally relevant and
|
||
complicates the implementation.)

Lists files or directories required to run the given target. These are

typically data files or directories of data files. The paths are interpreted

dependencies, they do not affect which targets are built or when. To declare

category of "gn desc" or written during build generation via

"--runtime-deps-list-file".
|

GN doesn't require data files to exist at build-time. So actions that produce

files that are in turn runtime dependencies can list those generated files

both in the "outputs" list as well as the "data" list.

By convention, directories are listed with a trailing slash:

If nonempty, this string specifies that the current action or action_foreach

target will generate the given ".d" file containing the dependencies of the

input. Empty or unset means that the script doesn't generate the files.
|

|
||
A depfile should be used only when a target depends on files that are not

already specified by a target's inputs and sources. Likewise, depfiles should
|
||
specify only those dependencies not already included in sources or inputs.
|
||
|
||
The .d file should go in the target output directory. If you have more than

one source file that the script is being run over, you can use the output

|

Details of dependency propagation
|

Source sets, shared libraries, and non-complete static libraries will be

propagated up the dependency tree across groups, non-complete static
|
||
libraries and source sets.
|

Executables, shared libraries, and complete static libraries will link all

propagated targets and stop propagation. Actions and copy steps also stop
|
||
propagation, allowing them to take a library as an input but not force
|
||
dependents to link to it.
|
||
|
||
Propagation of all_dependent_configs and public_configs happens independently
|
||
of target type. all_dependent_configs are always propagated across all types
|
||
of targets, and public_configs are always propagated across public deps of
|
||
all types of targets.
|

Data dependencies are propagated differently. See "gn help data_deps" and

"gn help runtime_deps".

|
||
|
||
A list of label patterns (see "gn help label_pattern") that allow dependent

||
targets to include private headers. Applies to all binary targets.
|
||
|
||
Normally if a target lists headers in the "public" list (see "gn help
|
||
public"), other headers are implicitly marked as private. Private headers
|
||
can not be included by other targets, even with a public dependency path.
|
||
The "gn check" function performs this validation.
|
||
|
||
A friend declaration allows one or more targets to include private headers.
|
||
This is useful for things like unit tests that are closely associated with a
|
||
target and require internal knowledge without opening up all headers to be
|
||
included by all dependents.
|
||
|
||
A friend target does not allow that target to include headers when no
|
||
dependency exists. A public dependency path must still exist between two
|
||
targets to include any headers from a destination target. The friend
|
||
annotation merely allows the use of headers that would otherwise be
|
||
prohibited because they are private.
|
||
|
||
The friend annotation is matched only against the target containing the file

with the include directive. Friend annotations are not propagated across

public or private dependencies. Friend annotations do not affect visibility.

|
||
|
||
Inputs are compile-time dependencies of the current target. This means that
|
||
all inputs must be available before compiling any of the sources or executing
|
||
any actions.
|
||
|
||
Inputs are typically only used for action and action_foreach targets.
|
||
|
||
Inputs for actions
|
||
|
||
For action and action_foreach targets, inputs should be the inputs to script
|
||
that don't vary. These should be all .py files that the script uses via
|
||
imports (the main script itself will be an implicit dependency of the action
|
||
so need not be listed).
|
||
|
||
For action targets, inputs and sources are treated the same, but from a style
|
||
perspective, it's recommended to follow the same rule as action_foreach and
|
||
put helper files in the inputs, and the data used by the script (if any) in
|
||
sources.
|
||
|
||
Note that another way to declare input dependencies from an action is to have
|
||
the action write a depfile (see "gn help depfile"). This allows the script to
|
||
dynamically write input dependencies, that might not be known until actually
|
||
executing the script. This is more efficient than doing processing while
|
||
running GN to determine the inputs, and is easier to keep in-sync than
|
||
hardcoding the list.
|
||
|
||
Script input gotchas
|
||
|
||
It may be tempting to write a script that enumerates all files in a directory
|
||
as inputs. Don't do this! Even if you specify all the files in the inputs or
|
||
sources in the GN target (or worse, enumerate the files in an exec_script
|
||
call when running GN, which will be slow), the dependencies will be broken.
|
||
|
||
The problem happens if a file is ever removed because the inputs are not
|
||
listed on the command line to the script. Because the script hasn't changed
|
||
and all inputs are up to date, the script will not re-run and you will get a
|
||
stale build. Instead, either list all inputs on the command line to the
|
||
script, or if there are many, create a separate list file that the script
|
||
reads. As long as this file is listed in the inputs, the build will detect
|
||
when it has changed in any way and the action will re-run.
|
||
|
||
Inputs for binary targets
|
||
|
||
Any input dependencies will be resolved before compiling any sources or
|
||
linking the target. Normally, all actions that a target depends on will be run
|
||
before any files in a target are compiled. So if you depend on generated
|
||
headers, you do not typically need to list them in the inputs section.
|
||
|
||
Inputs for binary targets will be treated as implicit dependencies, meaning
|
||
that changes in any of the inputs will force all sources in the target to be
|
||
recompiled. If an input only applies to a subset of source files, you may
|
||
want to split those into a separate target to avoid unnecessary recompiles.
|
||
|
||
Example
|
||
|
||
action("myscript") {
|
||
script = "domything.py"
|
||
inputs = [ "input.data" ]

Types of libs
|

|
||
There are several different things that can be expressed in libs:

|
||
File paths
|
||
Values containing '/' will be treated as references to files in the
|
||
checkout. They will be rebased to be relative to the build directory and
|
||
specified in the "libs" for linker tools. This facility should be used

||
for libraries that are checked in to the version control. For libraries
|
||
that are generated by the build, use normal GN deps to link them.
|
||
|
||
System libraries
|
||
Values not containing '/' will be treated as system library names. These
|
||
will be passed unmodified to the linker and prefixed with the
|
||
"lib_switch" attribute of the linker tool. Generally you would set the
|
||
"lib_dirs" so the given library is found. Your BUILD.gn file should not
|
||
specify the switch (like "-l"): this will be encoded in the "lib_switch"
|
||
of the tool.
|
||
|
||
Apple frameworks
|
||
System libraries ending in ".framework" will be special-cased: the switch
|

"-framework" will be prepended instead of the lib_switch, and the

".framework" suffix will be trimmed. This is to support the way Mac links

|
||
|
||
Precompiled headers will be used when a target specifies this value, or a
|
||
config applying to this target specifies this value. In addition, the tool
|
||
corresponding to the source files must also specify precompiled headers (see
|
||
"gn help tool"). The tool will also specify what type of precompiled headers
|
||
to use, by setting precompiled_header_type to either "gcc" or "msvc".
|
||
|
||
The precompiled header/source variables can be specified on a target or a
|
||
config, but must be the same for all configs applying to a given target since
|
||
a target can only have one precompiled header.
|
||
|
||
If you use both C and C++ sources, the precompiled header and source file
|
||
will be compiled once per language. You will want to make sure to wrap C++
|
||
includes in __cplusplus #ifdefs so the file will compile in C mode.
|
||
|
||
GCC precompiled headers
|
||
|
||
When using GCC-style precompiled headers, "precompiled_source" contains the
|
||
path of a .h file that is precompiled and then included by all source files
|
||
in targets that set "precompiled_source".
|
||
|
||
The value of "precompiled_header" is not used with GCC-style precompiled
|
||
headers.
|
||
|
||
MSVC precompiled headers
|
||
|
||
When using MSVC-style precompiled headers, the "precompiled_header" value is
|
||
a string corresponding to the header. This is NOT a path to a file that GN
|
||
recognises, but rather the exact string that appears in quotes after
|
||
an #include line in source code. The compiler will match this string against
|
||
includes or forced includes (/FI).
|
||
|
||
MSVC also requires a source file to compile the header with. This must be
|
||
specified by the "precompiled_source" value. In contrast to the header value,
|
||
this IS a GN-style file name, and tells GN which source file to compile to
|
||
make the .pch file used for subsequent compiles.
|
||
|
||
For example, if the toolchain specifies MSVC headers:
|
||
|
||
toolchain("vc_x64") {
|
||
...
|
||
tool("cxx") {
|
||
precompiled_header_type = "msvc"
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
You might make a config like this:
|
||
|
||
config("use_precompiled_headers") {
|
||
precompiled_header = "build/precompile.h"
|
||
precompiled_source = "//build/precompile.cc"
|
||
|
||
# Either your source files should #include "build/precompile.h"
|
||
# first, or you can do this to force-include the header.
|
||
cflags = [ "/FI$precompiled_header" ]
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
And then define a target that uses the config:
|
||
|
||
executable("doom_melon") {
|
||
configs += [ ":use_precompiled_headers" ]
|

...

|
||
|
||
A list of files that other targets can include. These permissions are checked
|
||
via the "check" command (see "gn help check").
|
||
|
||
If no public files are declared, other targets (assuming they have visibility
|
||
to depend on this target) can include any file in the sources list. If this
|
||
variable is defined on a target, dependent targets may only include files on
|
||
this whitelist unless that target is marked as a friend (see "gn help
|
||
friend").
|
||
|
||
Header file permissions are also subject to visibility. A target must be
|
||
visible to another target to include any files from it at all and the public
|
||
headers indicate which subset of those files are permitted. See "gn help
|
||
visibility" for more.
|
||
|
||
Public files are inherited through the dependency tree. So if there is a
|
||
dependency A -> B -> C, then A can include C's public headers. However, the
|
||
same is NOT true of visibility, so unless A is in C's visibility list, the
|
||
include will be rejected.
|
||
|
||
GN only knows about files declared in the "sources" and "public" sections of
|
||
targets. If a file is included that is not known to the build, it will be
|
||
allowed.
|
||
|
||
It is common for test targets to need to include private headers for their
|
||
associated code. In this case, list the test target in the "friend" list of
|
||
the target that owns the private header to allow the inclusion. See
|
||
"gn help friend" for more.
|
||
|
||
When a binary target has no explicit or implicit public headers (a "public"
|
||
list is defined but is empty), GN assumes that the target can not propagate
|
||
any compile-time dependencies up the dependency tree. In this case, the build
|
||
can be parallelized more efficiently.
|
||
Say there are dependencies:
|
||
A (shared library) -> B (shared library) -> C (action).
|
||
Normally C must complete before any source files in A can compile (because
|
||
there might be generated includes). But when B explicitly declares no public
|
||
headers, C can execute in parallel with A's compile steps. C must still be
|
||
complete before any dependents link.
|
||
|
||
Examples

|

public = [ "foo.h", "bar.h" ]

Public dependencies are like private dependencies (see "gn help deps") but
|

additionally express that the current target exposes the listed deps as part
|
||
of its public API.
|
||
|
||
This has several ramifications:
|
||
|
||
- public_configs that are part of the dependency are forwarded to direct
|
||
dependents.
|
||
|
||
- Public headers in the dependency are usable by dependents (includes do
|
||
not require a direct dependency or visibility).
|
||
|
||
- If the current target is a shared library, other shared libraries that it
|
||
publicly depends on (directly or indirectly) are propagated up the
|
||
dependency tree to dependents for linking.
|
||
|
||
Discussion
|
||
|
||
Say you have three targets: A -> B -> C. C's visibility may allow B to depend
|
||
on it but not A. Normally, this would prevent A from including any headers
|
||
from C, and C's public_configs would apply only to B.
|
||
|
||
If B lists C in its public_deps instead of regular deps, A will now inherit
|
||
C's public_configs and the ability to include C's public headers.
|
||
|
||
Generally if you are writing a target B and you include C's headers as part
|
||
of B's public headers, or targets depending on B should consider B and C to
|
||
be part of a unit, you should use public_deps instead of deps.
|
||
|
||
Example
|
||
|
||
# This target can include files from "c" but not from
|
||
# "super_secret_implementation_details".
|
||
executable("a") {
|
||
deps = [ ":b" ]
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
shared_library("b") {
|
||
deps = [ ":super_secret_implementation_details" ]
|
||
public_deps = [ ":c" ]

||

Sometimes the arguments passed to a script can be too long for the system's
|
||
command-line capabilities. This is especially the case on Windows where the
|
||
maximum command-line length is less than 8K. A response file allows you to
|
||
pass an unlimited amount of data to a script in a temporary file for an
|
||
action or action_foreach target.
|
||
|
||
If the response_file_contents variable is defined and non-empty, the list
|
||
will be treated as script args (including possibly substitution patterns)
|
||
that will be written to a temporary file at build time. The name of the

||
temporary file will be substituted for "{{response_file_name}}" in the script

args.

The response file contents will always be quoted and escaped according to
