Introspecting command-line

[Barnes, Peter D.]

Hello Folks,

Is there a way to construct doc/introspected-command-line.h without​​ doing a full compile?

For doc/introspected-doxygen.h we can do:

$ ./ns3 run print-introspected-doxygen —no-build

For introspected-command-line.h the only thing I’ve come up with is

$ cmake --build cmake-cache --target assemble-introspected-command-line

which depends on run-introspected-command-line, which itself depends on all-test-targets, which builds all the examples.

Thanks,

Peter

I should have added “without reconfiguring”

This is for use in doc/doxygen.warnings.report.sh.  Most of the time one is just editing documentation, so actually compiling isn’t necessary, just wastes a lot of time.  On the other hand I’m also doing some refactoring, so once in a while I do recompile to make sure I haven’t really broken things. 

d.w.r.sh has an option -I (introspection) to run print-introspected-doxygen, if it exists, but without compiling.  This updates the intro…-doxygen.h with whatever was last built, without waiting for a long compile.

I’d like to do the same for introspected-command-line.

There isn't now. But depending what are you trying to achieve, there are options. To limit tests/examples to the mode you want to test: ./ns3 configure --filter-module-examples-and-tests=module

Well, you need to compile things to get the introspected command line. If you don't want to regenerate it, use ./ns3 docs doxygen-no-build
