Hi there,
I'm one of the maintainers of the CMake module for the D programming
language (http://dsource.org/projects/cmaked), and currently the module
works really well, with one exception: dependency checking.
Since D uses an "import" method which is very similar to java, I'm
wondering if it would be possible, or if there'd be any way to convince
CMake to use the java dependency scanner when compiling D files?
Failing that, is the dependency system user extendable in any way?
Yes.
But not that much.
The C/C++ dependency scanner can be influenced by setting the variable
CMAKE_<language>_INCLUDE_REGEX_SCAN to another regular expression which
matches the language (D). I don't know if this would be good enough for D.
Then there are the Java and Fortran dependency scanners. I don't know much
about them, if you want to influence them probably something has to be coded.
I don't know how similar to D they are.
The D import statement is so similar to Java that I think it might
(mostly) work. That being said, if I want to try to influence the C++
scanner, are there docs anywhere on that INCLUDE_REGEX_SCAN? I did a
quick search but didn't turn up much.
I assume the C++ scanner wouldn't work well for Java style imports
otherwise there wouldn't be a separate scanner for Java eh?
Thanks,
Tim.
