Module Jenga_lib__Rule

Rule.t supports the description of build-rules in jenga. Two varieties:

• alias-rule: Allows a symbolic Alias.t to stand for some dependencies.
• target-rule: A rule to generate some targets using an Action.t.

An alias-rule is constructed by alias of which default is a useful special case. A target-rule is constructed by create.

Target-rule.t allows the description of dynamic build rules: Although the targets must be static, the dependencies and action may be contingent on further dependencies. This is achieved by constructing a target-rule from a value of type: Action.t Dep.t

Make-style rule-triples are a trivial special case, and can be constructed using the convenience wrapper simple, defined as:

let simple ~targets ~deps ~action = create ~targets ( Dep.all_unit deps *>>| fun () -> action )
