Bob: Thanks for your update. I verify this enhancement. It is great. Now, I have some minor comments. Can you help check them?
1. This change requires tools_def and build_rule be updated together. If they are not updated, what will happen? Can build tool report the error and let user update them? 2. C compiler will generate the include file list for all other files except for ASL and Nasm,, and output the include file into the screen. Build tool catches them, and creates the file xxx.deps. Can Build tool generate xxx.deps in the same output directory with the output file? For example, if C source output file is generated into OUTPUT\X64 directory, its deps file is also generated into OUTPUT\X64 directory. 3. Do you verify the error case? For example, if C source file doesn't pass compile, its deps will still be generated or not?
