| This directory is here to hold .gni files that contain sets of GN build |
| arguments for given configurations. |
| |
| Some projects or bots may have build configurations with specific combinations |
| of flags. Rather than making a new global flag for your specific project and |
| adding it all over the build to each arg it should affect, you can add a .gni |
| file here with the variables. |
| |
| For example, for project foo you may put in build/args/foo.gni: |
| |
| target_os = "android" |
| use_pulseaudio = false |
| use_ozone = true |
| system_libdir = "foo" |
| |
| Users wanting to build this configuration would run: |
| |
| $ gn args out/mybuild |
| |
| And add the following line to their args for that build directory: |
| |
| import("//build/args/foo.gni") |
| # You can set any other args here like normal. |
| is_component_build = false |
| |
| This way everybody can agree on a set of flags for a project, and their builds |
| stay in sync as the flags in foo.gni are modified. |
