MSVC

Lowlevel MSVC Tests

Executable

// MSVC specialized Toolchain
Toolchain_msvc msvc;

// MSVC specialized targets
// Creates `Simple.exe`
ExecutableTarget_msvc exetarget("Simple", msvc, "");
exetarget.GlobSources("src");
exetarget.AddIncludeDir("include", true);
exetarget.Build();

// Build
tf::Executor executor;
executor.run(exetarget.GetTaskflow());
executor.wait_for_all();

StaticLib

// MSVC specialized Toolchain
Toolchain_msvc msvc;

// MSVC specialized targets
// Creates `librandom.lib`
StaticTarget_msvc statictarget("librandom", msvc, "");
statictarget.AddSource("src/random.cpp");
statictarget.AddIncludeDir("include", true);
statictarget.Build();

// MSVC specialized targets
// Creates `Simple.exe`
ExecutableTarget_msvc exetarget("Simple", msvc, "");
exetarget.AddSource("src/main.cpp");
exetarget.AddIncludeDir("include", true);
exetarget.AddLibDep(statictarget);
exetarget.Build();

// Build
tf::Executor executor;
tf::Taskflow taskflow;

// Setup your dependencies explicitly
// Here statictarget needs to be built before exetarget
auto statictargetTask = taskflow.composed_of(statictarget.GetTaskflow());
auto exetargetTask = taskflow.composed_of(exetarget.GetTaskflow());
exetargetTask.succeed(statictargetTask);

executor.run(taskflow);
executor.wait_for_all();

DynamicLib

// MSVC specialized Toolchain
Toolchain_msvc msvc;

// MSVC specialized targets
// Creates `librandom.lib` and `librandom.lib.dll`
DynamicTarget_msvc dynamictarget("librandom", msvc, "");
dynamictarget.AddSource("src/random.cpp");
dynamictarget.AddIncludeDir("include", true);
dynamictarget.Build();

// MSVC specialized target
// Creates `Simple.exe` which uses the above dynamic library
ExecutableTarget_msvc exetarget("Simple", msvc, "");
exetarget.AddSource("src/main.cpp");
exetarget.AddIncludeDir("include", true);
exetarget.AddLibDep(dynamictarget);
exetarget.Build();

// Build
tf::Executor executor;
tf::Taskflow taskflow;

// Setup your dependencies explicitly
// Here dynamictarget needs to be built before exetarget
auto dynamictargetTask = taskflow.composed_of(dynamictarget.GetTaskflow());
auto exetargetTask = taskflow.composed_of(exetarget.GetTaskflow());
exetargetTask.succeed(dynamictargetTask);

executor.run(taskflow);
executor.wait_for_all();

// Now that both your targets are built, copy the dynamictarget DLL to the exetarget location
// This is required for your exetarget to run properly
if (exetarget.IsBuilt()) {
    fs::copy(dynamictarget.GetDllPath(),
            exetarget.GetTargetPath().parent_path() /
            dynamictarget.GetDllPath().filename());
}

Note

Our ExecutableTarget_msvc depends on DynamicTarget_msvc and requires the librandom.lib.dll file to be present in the same folder location as the executable when running.
