* Match a rule's input tags against root artifacts of dependenciesChristian Kandeler2017-03-071-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For instance, if you make an object file the target artifact of your product, you want the depending product's linker rule to pick it up, without the need to explicitly add the tag to "inputsFromDependencies". Otherwise, you'd basically have to duplicate the contents of "inputs" in all rules then, which is silly. [ChangeLog] A rule's "inputs" property is now matched against the file tags of target artifacts of products that the current product depends on, in addition to artifacts in the current product.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In rules we can now write product.cpp.defines instead of product.moduleProperty("cpp", "defines") Before requesting a module's property one must check for module existence: if (product.xcode && product.xcode.sdkName === "TheBestSDK") ... The same syntax also works for artifact objects (e.g. from inputs). The old way of requesting module properties via moduleProperty stays intact for the time being. [ChangeLog] Added a convenient replacement for product.moduleProperty("module", "property"), namely product.module.property.

* Change the default value and behavior of Qt.core.resourceSourceBaseDenis Klychkov2016-12-021-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default value "undefined" tells the qrc file generator to use only the input file name as a resource alias. The benefits of changing the default value are as follows: 1) It's a bit weird to reset a normal value to undefined in qbs code. 2) This simplifies feature usage for output Artifacts and single files. 3) If one wants to put a hierarchical structure into a qrc file there are a lot of cases in which they have to specify resourceSourceBase manually. 4) When a Group with a wildcard and a prefix is used this makes user's intention a bit clearer. This strongly separates "I want this set of files" from "I want this directory structure".
