Research current, define and implement next mechanisms for: 1. Tool discovery 2. Tool initialization 3. Dependency graph construction With the goals: 1. Initialize only tools that are necessary for the target 2. Toolchain management and control 2.1 Configure toolchains 2.2 Select toolchains and their components 2.3 Dynamically construct toolchains based on different parameters (availability, input/output compatibility) This will require some research, maybe even cyclic process, because there is catch22: - graph is needed to define which tool are required - graph is constructed using methods provided by those tools (I suspect that Parts project is somehow related and Jason can add details here) Visualize SCons internals: 1. Define phases of execution 2. Show phases in a visual interface 3. Hightlight phases in realtime as they pass --- 4. Draw dependency and execution order graph 5. Highligh graph in realtim as the targets are build --- 6. Implement stepped execution 7. Implement delayed execution OS-independent asynchronous subprocess implementation: https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/absub 1. Visualization of the algorithm 2. Tie Visualization to the realtime SCons process 3. Fix to make it work with SCons Declarative format for certain tasks (such as compiling C libraries). This will make SCons interchangeable with other tools like CMake for simple tasks, will allow project members to use tools of their liking, and enable us to concentrate on higher level differences and usability scenarios. -- anatoly t.
