- &SCons; has a bewildering array of construction variables
- for different types of options when building programs.
- Sometimes you may not know exactly which variable
- should be used for a particular option.
-
- </para>
-
- <para>
-
- &SCons; construction environments have a &ParseFlags; method
- that takes a set of typical command-line options
- and distrbutes them into the appropriate construction variables.
- Historically, it was created to support the &ParseConfig; method,
- so it focuses on options used by the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
- for the C and C++ toolchains.
-
- </para>
-
- <para>
-
- &ParseFlags; returns a dictionary containing the options
- distributed into their respective construction variables.
- Normally, this dictionary would be passed to &MergeFlags;
- to merge the options into a &consenv;,
- but the dictionary can be edited if desired to provide
- additional functionality.
- (Note that if the flags are not going to be edited,
- calling &MergeFlags; with the options directly
- will avoid an additional step.)

- <scons_example name="ParseFlags1">
- <file name="SConstruct" printme="1">
- env = Environment()
- d = env.ParseFlags("-I/opt/include -L/opt/lib -lfoo")

- if v:
- print k, v
- env.MergeFlags(d)
- env.Program('f1.c')

- <scons_output_command>scons -Q</scons_output_command>

- <para>
-
- Note that if the options are limited to generic types
- like those above,
- they will be correctly translated for other platform types:

- <scons_output example="ParseFlags1" os="win32">
- <scons_output_command>scons -Q</scons_output_command>
- </scons_output>
-
- <para>
-
- Since the assumption is that the flags are used for the GCC toolchain,
- unrecognized flags are placed in &cv-link-CCFLAGS;
- so they will be used for both C and C++ compiles:

- &ParseFlags; will also accept a (recursive) list of strings as input;
- the list is flattened before the strings are processed:

-
- If a string begins with a "!" (an exclamation mark, often called a bang),
- the string is passed to the shell for execution.
- The output of the command is then parsed:
