When trying to pass a target to bjam that has a '/' in its
name, and one of it
path components happen to be incident to a feature, as e.g.
in:
bjam doc/html
boost build complains with:
X:/projects/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/buildfeature.jam:238
: in
feature.implied-feature from module feature
error: "doc" is not a value of an implicit
feature
X:/projects/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/buildproperty.jam:27
7: in validate1 from
module property
X:/projects/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/buildproperty.jam:29
0: in
property.validate from module property
X:/projects/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/buildbuild-request.j
am:185: in
convert-command-line-element from module build-request
X:/projects/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/buildbuild-request.j
am:143: in
build-request.from-command-line from module build-request
X:/projects/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2build-system.jam:267:
in load from module
build-system
X:projectsboosttrunktoolsbuildv2/kernelmodules.jam:26
1: in import from
module modules
X:projectsboosttrunktoolsbuildv2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:
132: in boost-build
from module
This is odd because
1) The error message is misleading since the html (not the
doc) is causing the
error. Despite doc is being reported. (Try doc/doc
instead.)
2) It is cryptic why e.g. "install html/images"
should be allowed while "install
doc/html" will generate an error.
Suggested resolution:
Generally try _first_ to apply
"convert-command-line-element", and everything
that is failing this, pass on to targets.
However this will also require a change of
"property.validate" so it will not
automatically trigger an EXIT.
What do you think?
