# This file introduces two related templates that act like action and
# action_foreach but instead of running a script, it will compile a given tool
# in the host toolchain and run that (either once or over the list of inputs,
# depending on the variant).
#
# Parameters
#
#   tool (required)
#       [label] Label of the tool to run. This should be an executable, and
#       this label should not include a toolchain (anything in parens). The
#       host compile of this tool will be used.
#
#   tool_output_name (optional)
#       [string] The `output_name` in the `executable()` for `tool`.
#       This default's to the `tool` target's name.
#
#   outputs (required)
#       [list of files] Like the outputs of action (if using "compiled_action",
#       this would be just the list of outputs), or action_foreach (if using
#       "compiled_action_foreach", this would contain source expansions mapping
#       input to output files).
#
#   args (required)
#       [list of strings] Same meaning as action/action_foreach.
#
#   inputs (optional)
#   sources (optional)
#       Files the binary takes as input. The step will be re-run whenever any
#       of these change. If inputs is empty, the step will run only when the
#       binary itself changes.
#
#   args (all optional)
#   depfile
#   deps
#   public_deps
#   testonly
#   visibility
#       Same meaning as action/action_foreach.
#
# Example of usage:
#
#   compiled_action("run_my_tool") {
#     tool = "//tools/something:mytool"
#     outputs = [
#       "$target_gen_dir/mysource.cc",
#       "$target_gen_dir/mysource.h",
#     ]
#
#     # The tool takes this input.
#     sources = [ "my_input_file.idl" ]
#
#     # In this case, the tool takes as arguments the input file and the output
#     # build dir (both relative to the "cd" that the script will be run in)
#     # and will produce the output files listed above.
#     args = [
#       rebase_path("my_input_file.idl", root_build_dir),
#       "--output-dir", rebase_path(target_gen_dir, root_build_dir),
#     ]
#   }
#
# You would typically declare your tool like this:
#   if (host_toolchain == current_toolchain) {
#     executable("mytool") {
#       ...
#     }
#   }
#
# The if statement around the executable is optional. That says "I only care
# about this target in the host toolchain". Usually this is what you want, and
# saves unnecessarily compiling your tool for the target platform. But if you
# need a target build of your tool as well, just leave off the if statement.
