It is invoked as shown below: + + @files = Objects $env <source or object files>; + +Under Unix, source files ending in F<.s> and F<.c> are currently +supported, and will be compiled into a name of the same file ending +in F<.o>. By default, all files are created by invoking the external +command which results from expanding the C<CCCOM> construction variable, +with C<%E<lt>> and C<%E<gt>> set to the source and object files, +respectively. (See the section above on construction variable expansion +for details). The variable C<CPPPATH> is also used when scanning source +files for dependencies. This is a colon separated list of pathnames, and +is also used to create the construction variable C<_IFLAGS,> which will +contain the appropriate list of -C<I> options for the compilation. Any +relative pathnames in C<CPPPATH> is interpreted relative to the +directory in which the associated construction environment was created +(absolute and top-relative names may also be used). This variable is +used by C<CCCOM>. The behavior of this command can be modified by +changing any of the variables which are interpolated into C<CCCOM>, such +as C<CC>, C<CFLAGS>, and, indirectly, C<CPPPATH>. It's also possible +to replace the value of C<CCCOM>, itself. As a convenience, this file +returns the list of object filenames. + +--> + + <para> + + X + + </para> + + <section> + <title>The &Object; Method</title> + + <para> + + X + + </para> + + </section> |
