std.build

Artifact class

pub class Artifact

One thing a build produces: a .lyrbc compiled from an entry file.

Returned by addExecutable, and configured after the fact — the compile itself happens once build has returned, so an option set on the next line still applies.

stdlib/std/build.lyr:7

addExecutable function

pub fn addExecutable(entry: string, output: string): Artifact

Declares a program to compile: entry is its main file, output the .lyrbc to write.

Both are relative to the directory holding build.lyr. The module root and the native roots come from lyric.json; this does not repeat them.

Nothing is compiled while build runs. The artifacts are collected and built afterwards, so work the script does in between — writing a generated source file, for instance — is finished before any of them is read.
