zig/lib/std / Build/Step/ConfigHeader.zig

The configure format supported by autotools. It uses #undef foo to mark lines that can be substituted with different values.

const std = @import("std");
const ConfigHeader = @This();
const Step = std.Build.Step;
const Allocator = std.mem.Allocator;

Style

The configure format supported by CMake. It uses @FOO@, ${} and #cmakedefine for template substitution.


pub const Style = union(enum) {
    /// The configure format supported by autotools. It uses `#undef foo` to
    /// mark lines that can be substituted with different values.
    autoconf: std.Build.LazyPath,
    /// The configure format supported by CMake. It uses `@FOO@`, `${}` and
    /// `#cmakedefine` for template substitution.
    cmake: std.Build.LazyPath,
    /// Instead of starting with an input file, start with nothing.
    blank,
    /// Start with nothing, like blank, and output a nasm .asm file.
    nasm,

Start with nothing, like blank, and output a nasm .asm file.
