msvc¶

Microsoft Visual C++/Intel C++ compiler support

If you get detection problems, first try any of the following:

chcp 65001
set PYTHONIOENCODING=...
set PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSSTDIO=1

Usage:

$ waf configure --msvc_version="msvc 10.0,msvc 9.0" --msvc_target="x64"

or:

def configure(conf):
        conf.env.MSVC_VERSIONS = ['msvc 10.0', 'msvc 9.0', 'msvc 8.0', 'msvc 7.1', 'msvc 7.0', 'msvc 6.0', 'wsdk 7.0', 'intel 11', 'PocketPC 9.0', 'Smartphone 8.0']
        conf.env.MSVC_TARGETS = ['x64']
        conf.load('msvc')

or:

def configure(conf):
        conf.load('msvc', funs='no_autodetect')
        conf.check_lib_msvc('gdi32')
        conf.check_libs_msvc('kernel32 user32')
def build(bld):
        tg = bld.program(source='main.c', target='app', use='KERNEL32 USER32 GDI32')

Platforms and targets will be tested in the order they appear; the first good configuration will be used.

To force testing all the configurations that are not used, use the --no-msvc-lazy option or set conf.env.MSVC_LAZY_AUTODETECT=False.

Supported platforms: ia64, x64, x86, x86_amd64, x86_ia64, x86_arm, amd64_x86, amd64_arm

Compilers supported:

msvc => Visual Studio, versions 6.0 (VC 98, VC .NET 2002) to 15 (Visual Studio 2017)
wsdk => Windows SDK, versions 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 8.0
icl => Intel compiler, versions 9, 10, 11, 13
winphone => Visual Studio to target Windows Phone 8 native (version 8.0 for now)
Smartphone => Compiler/SDK for Smartphone devices (armv4/v4i)
PocketPC => Compiler/SDK for PocketPC devices (armv4/v4i)

To use WAF in a VS2008 Make file project (see http://code.google.com/p/waf/issues/detail?id=894) You may consider to set the environment variable “VS_UNICODE_OUTPUT” to nothing before calling waf. So in your project settings use something like ‘cmd.exe /C “set VS_UNICODE_OUTPUT=& set PYTHONUNBUFFERED=true & waf build”’. cmd.exe /C “chcp 1252 & set PYTHONUNBUFFERED=true && set && waf configure” Setting PYTHONUNBUFFERED gives the unbuffered output.

waflib.Tools.msvc.after_method(*k)[source]¶

Decorator that registers a task generator method which will be executed after the functions of given name(s):

from waflib.TaskGen import feature, after
@feature('myfeature')
@after_method('fun2')
def fun1(self):
        print('feature 1!')
@feature('myfeature')
def fun2(self):
        print('feature 2!')
def build(bld):
        bld(features='myfeature')

Parameters: k (list of string) – method names

waflib.Tools.msvc.feature(*k)¶

Decorator that registers a task generator method that will be executed when the object attribute feature contains the corresponding key(s):

from waflib.TaskGen import feature
@feature('myfeature')
def myfunction(self):
        print('that is my feature!')
def build(bld):
        bld(features='myfeature')

Parameters: k (list of string) – feature names

waflib.Tools.msvc.conf(f)¶

Decorator: attach new configuration functions to waflib.Build.BuildContext and waflib.Configure.ConfigurationContext. The methods bound will accept a parameter named ‘mandatory’ to disable the configuration errors:

def configure(conf):
        conf.find_program('abc', mandatory=False)

Parameters: f (function) – method to bind

Configuration Method bound to waflib.Configure.ConfigurationContext

Returns: platform to compiler configurations
Return type: dict

waflib.Tools.msvc.find_lt_names_msvc(self, libname, is_static=False)[source]¶

Configuration Method bound to waflib.Configure.ConfigurationContext

Win32/MSVC specific code to glean out information from libtool la files. this function is not attached to the task_gen class. Returns a triplet: (library absolute path, library name without extension, whether the library is static)

Configuration Method bound to waflib.Configure.ConfigurationContext

Ideally we should be able to place the lib in the right env var, either STLIB or LIB, but we don’t distinguish static libs from shared libs. This is ok since msvc doesn’t have any special linker flag to select static libs (no env.STLIB_MARKER)

waflib.Tools.msvc.find_msvc(conf)[source]¶: Configuration Method bound to waflib.Configure.ConfigurationContext Due to path format limitations, limit operation only to native Win32. Yeah it sucks.

Feature: c, cxx

waflib.Tools.msvc.apply_manifest(self)[source]¶

Special linker for MSVC with support for embedding manifests into DLL’s and executables compiled by Visual Studio 2005 or probably later. Without the manifest file, the binaries are unusable. See: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235542(VS.80).aspx
