Hi,
I'm looking for reference about run rule and the only thing I can find is this short reference:
http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/reference/rules.html
pointing to the Testing section which is currently blank:
http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial/testing.html
Would there be any chance to get this part updated?
I'm looking for details about the run rule arguments:
rule run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements * : target-name ? : default-build * )
I'd appreciate if someone could explain what is the differences: sources vs input-files or args vs input-files.
* sources get compiled into the test executable * The names of input-files get passed to the test executable on the command-line and the tests will be considered outdated (and re-run) if one of them changes * args are other arguments to the test executable, that create no dependency relationship. See the libs/python/test/Jamfile.v2 for some examples. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
