post-filtering sources list should be accessible to actions #134

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I need to run an action on all the sources of the target. Sources have ! and / 
filters applied on them, but there is no way to pass the filtered list to the 
action.

The variable _sources has the unfiltered list, while the _sources! and sources/ 
variables are not accessible (even if they were accessible, I would not want to 
emulate the calculation).

One possible backward compatible solution would be to expose 
"_sources_included" to 
variable expansions.

Any update on this?  It's holding up a webkit patch that will make builds much 
faster.

/ and ! intentionally happen really late in the game.  It's not easy to get 
them to happen 
earlier (before variable expansion time).

This issue blocks https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=371513, 
fixing which requires us to specify an explicit list of inputs passed to a 
python script.

Any insight into why this is intentional? In particular, why ordinary 
compilation targets can make use of the filtered "sources" while actions (in 
our case, it's a JavaScript compilation step executed as a python script) 
cannot?
