Pass 2 output into Pass 1

NTDEV
1

Hi,

Is there any way to get build to finish pass 2 on one directory before doing pass 1 on another directory?

Basically, I have a utility that consumes an EXE and spits out some data in the form of a .c file that then needs to get fed into another compilation.

I would like to have this all work magically using build, but I’m guessing this is not possible and I will have to do some custom build scripting code.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matt

See SYNCHRONIZE_DRAIN and SYNCHRONIZE_BLOCK macros.

BTW, have you tried to turn off multiprocessor build?

I believe SYNCHRONIZE_DRAIN \ SYNCHRONIZE_BLOCK only work in the same pass. Not across different passes?

I never really needed them so I don’t know. But docs doesn’t say
anything about passes and contains sentences as:

“Build.exe finishes building that directory before starting to build any
subsequent directories”

so I’d guess it doesn’t depend on passes (it wouldn’t make much sense).
Have you tried it?

SYNCHRONIZE_DRAIN definitely only effects pass 1.

Basically I am trying to get pass 0-2 run on one directory before the rest of the build starts. I tried to fiddle with NTTARGETFILE0 but I couldn’t make anything work.

If anyone has any other ideas on how to accomplish this that would be cool.
