Hello,
I am working on a tool integrating vcpkg into SCons, and I've hit a curious
feature of SCons architecture. Specifically, I would like to be able to do the
following:
dlls = []
dlls += env.VCPkg('packagename').SharedLibraries()
My "target" type from the VCPkg builder is a custom class that exposes a
SharedLibraries() function. But the actual return type of calling
env.VCPkg(...) is a SCons.Node.NodeList, which has essentially no
functionality. If it were a SCons.Util.NodeList instead, then I'd be able to do
this, as the "Util" version has the ability to invoke methods on its contents
and return a new NodeList containing the result.
Questions:
- Is there a way for me to force SCons to return my targets in a Util.NodeList?
- Why does SCons.Util.NodeList even exist as a distinct type from
SCons.Node.NodeList? It seems like the functionality of SCons.Util.NodeList
could be merged into SCons.Node.NodeList, and then you'd have just one, more
useful class.
- If the answer to (2.) is "because no one's done it", shall I send a PR?
