In AssemblyAction, when adding arguments for the compiler command line, the args.add_all() call is looping through the srcs attribute, and adding the .path from each one. Since each element of the srcs attribute is a File object, adding the file names by calling .path is redundant; at rule execution time, the path is resolved and used as the string argument.
The motivation for this change is that .add_all() also understands File objects that are created with declare_directory(), meaning a rule invoking a source code generator can be used, and the output of that rule used directly (if created with
actions.declare_directory()).
