Refactor SubstitutionType for increased flexibility This removes the SubstitutionType enum and the associated arrays of GN and Ninja substitution names, replacing them with a more dynamic collection of data. This is part of a larger refactoring that will allow for additional types of Tools (e.g. non-C/C++ langauge compilation) to be added more simply and cleanly.

GN is a meta-build system that generates build files for Ninja. There is documentation in docs/ and a presentation on it.
You can download the latest version of GN binary for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Alternatively, you can build GN from source:
git clone https://gn.googlesource.com/gn cd gn python build/gen.py ninja -C out # To run tests: out/gn_unittests
On Windows, it is expected that cl.exe
, link.exe
, and lib.exe
can be found in PATH
, so you'll want to run from a Visual Studio command prompt, or similar.
On Linux and Mac, the default compiler is clang++
, a recent version is expected to be found in PATH
. This can be overridden by setting CC
, CXX
, and AR
.
If you find a bug, you can see if it is known or report it in the bug database.
GN uses Gerrit for code review. The short version of how to patch is:
Register at https://gn-review.googlesource.com. ... edit code ... ninja -C out && out/gn_unittests
Then, to upload a change for review:
git commit git cl upload --gerrit
When revising a change, use:
git commit --amend git cl upload --gerrit
which will add the new changes to the existing code review, rather than creating a new one.
