<h1>Exporting Software Units</h1>
|
| 8 |
|
|
<hr>
|
| 9 |
|
|
This section describes how to configure a software unit for use by other
|
| 10 |
|
|
software units. This interface then provides functionality to the
|
| 11 |
|
|
<Use name=unit_name> tag specified elsewhere in the project.
|
| 12 |
|
|
<h2>Defining the Interface</h2>
|
| 13 |
|
|
The interface is defined in the BuildFile in the software unit. Anything
|
| 14 |
|
|
between <b><export></b> and <b></export></b> tags will be
|
| 15 |
|
|
taken as defining the interface.<p>
|
| 16 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 17 |
|
|
e.g A BuildFile in a SubSystem called CARF.
|
| 18 |
|
|
<font color=green>
|
| 19 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 20 |
|
|
<export>
|
| 21 |
|
|
<lib name=G3Main>
|
| 22 |
|
|
<lib name=G3Event>
|
| 23 |
|
|
<lib name=Reco>
|
| 24 |
|
|
<lib name=G3SimEvent>
|
| 25 |
|
|
<lib name=G3Interface>
|
| 26 |
|
|
</export>
|
| 27 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 28 |
|
|
</font>
|
| 29 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 30 |
|
|
Any file that then wishes to use the subsytem CARF simply has to add the
|
| 31 |
|
|
following line to their BuildFile.
|
| 32 |
|
|
<font color=green>
|
| 33 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 34 |
|
|
<Use name=CARF>
|
| 35 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 36 |
|
|
</font>
|
| 37 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 38 |
|
|
to get all the apporpriate CARF libraries.<p>
|
| 39 |

<h2>Package Application</h2>
|
| 40 |
|
|
By default the specifications between the <export> tags do not propogate
|
| 41 |
|
|
down into the package. Thus a package will have to use a <Use> tag to
|
| 42 |
|
|
get its own libraries. <p>
|
| 43 |
|
|
An alternative model (and the default before version 0_10_0) is to automatically
|
| 44 |
|
|
propogate the appropriate interface to each of its corresponding packages.
|
| 45 |
|
|
This can be done by writing
|
| 46 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 47 |
|
|
scram_autoexport=true
|
| 48 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 49 |
|
|
either in the project level BuildFile or just <em>before</em> The export
|
| 50 |
|
|
interface itself.
