This target type allows you to run a script a single time to produce one or
more output files. If you want to run a script once for each of a set of
input files, see "gn help action_foreach".
Inputs
In an action the "sources" and "inputs" are treated the same: they're both
input dependencies on script execution with no special handling. If you want
to pass the sources to your script, you must do so explicitly by including
them in the "args". Note also that this means there is no special handling of
paths since GN doesn't know which of the args are paths and not. You will
want to use rebase_path() to convert paths to be relative to the
root_build_dir.
You can dynamically write input dependencies (for incremental rebuilds if an
input file changes) by writing a depfile when the script is run (see "gn help
depfile"). This is more flexible than "inputs".
If the command line length is very long, you can use response files to pass
args to your script. See "gn help response_file_contents".
It is recommended you put inputs to your script in the "sources" variable,
and stuff like other Python files required to run your script in the "inputs"
variable.
Actions can take the configs and public_configs lists, as well as any of the
configs variables (defines, include_dirs, etc.) set directly on the target.
These behave exactly as they would on a binary target and can be accessed
using substitution patterns in the script args (see "gn help args") to
implement custom compiler-like tools.

Inputs
The script will be run once per file in the "sources" variable. The "outputs"

it (see "gn help source_expansion"). The output file(s) for each script
invocation should be unique. Normally you use "{{source_name_part}}" in each

file or a Python module it uses, those files should be listed in the "inputs"

are computed from all "bundle_data" target this one depends on transitively
(the recursion stops at "create_bundle" targets).
The "bundle_*_dir" are be used for the expansion of {{bundle_*_dir}} rules in
"bundle_data" outputs. The properties are optional but must be defined if any
of the "bundle_data" target use them.
This target can be used on all platforms though it is designed only to

If a create_bundle is specified as a data_deps for another target, the bundle
is considered a leaf, and its public and private dependencies will not
contribute to any data or data_deps. Required runtime dependencies should be
placed in the bundle. A create_bundle can declare its own explicit data and
data_deps, however.
Code signing
Some bundle needs to be code signed as part of the build (on iOS all
application needs to be code signed to run on a device). The code signature
can be configured via the code_signing_script variable.
If set, code_signing_script is the path of a script that invoked after all
files have been moved into the bundle. The script must not change any file in
the bundle, but may add new files.
If code_signing_script is defined, then code_signing_outputs must also be
defined and non-empty to inform when the script needs to be re-run. The
code_signing_args will be passed as is to the script (so path have to be
rebased) and additional inputs may be listed with the variable
code_signing_sources.

C-language source_sets
A source set is a collection of sources that get compiled, but are not linked
to produce any kind of library. Instead, the resulting object files are
implicitly added to the linker line of all targets that depend on the source
set.
In most cases, a source set will behave like a static library, except no
actual library file will be produced. This will make the build go a little
faster by skipping creation of a large static library, while maintaining the
organizational benefits of focused build targets.
The main difference between a source set and a static library is around
handling of exported symbols. Most linkers assume declaring a function
exported means exported from the static library. The linker can then do dead
code elimination to delete code not reachable from exported functions.
A source set will not do this code elimination since there is no link step.
This allows you to link many source sets into a shared library and have the
"exported symbol" notation indicate "export from the final shared library and
not from the intermediate targets." There is no way to express this concept
when linking multiple static libraries into a shared library.

The target() function is a way to invoke a built-in target or template with a
type determined at runtime. This is useful for cases where the type of a
target might not be known statically.
Only templates and built-in target functions are supported for the
target_type_string parameter. Arbitrary functions, configs, and toolchains
are not supported.
The call:
target("source_set", "doom_melon") {
Is equivalent to:
source_set("doom_melon") {

Writes data value(s) to disk on resolution. This target type mirrors some
functionality of the write_file() function, but also provides the ability to
collect metadata from its dependencies on resolution rather than writing out
at parse time.
The `outputs` variable is required to be a list with a single element,
specifying the intended location of the output file.
The `output_conversion` variable specified the format to write the
value. See `gn help io_conversion`.
One of `contents` or `data_keys` must be specified; use of `contents` will
write the contents of that value to file, while use of `data_keys` will
trigger a metadata collection walk based on the dependencies of the target and
the optional values of the `rebase` and `walk_keys` variables. See
`gn help metadata`.
Collected metadata, if specified, will be returned in postorder of
dependencies. See the example for details.

Example (metadata collection)
Given the following targets defined in //base/BUILD.gn, where A depends on B
and B depends on C and D:
group("a") {
metadata = {
doom_melon = [ "enable" ]
my_files = [ "foo.cpp" ]
# Note: this is functionally equivalent to not defining `my_barrier`
# at all in this target's metadata.
my_barrier = [ "" ]
}
deps = [ ":b" ]
}
group("b") {
metadata = {
my_files = [ "bar.cpp" ]
my_barrier = [ ":c" ]
}
deps = [ ":c", ":d" ]
}
group("c") {
metadata = {
doom_melon = [ "disable" ]
my_files = [ "baz.cpp" ]
}
}
group("d") {
metadata = {
my_files = [ "missing.cpp" ]
}
}
If the following generated_file target is defined:
generated_file("my_files_metadata") {
outputs = [ "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" ]
data_keys = [ "my_files" ]
deps = [ "//base:a" ]
}
The following will be written to "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" (less the
comments):
[
"baz.cpp", // from //base:c via //base:b
"missing.cpp" // from //base:d via //base:b
"bar.cpp", // from //base:b via //base:a
"foo.cpp", // from //base:a
]
Alternatively, as an example of using walk_keys, if the following
generated_file target is defined:
generated_file("my_files_metadata") {
outputs = [ "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" ]
data_keys = [ "my_files" ]
walk_keys = [ "my_barrier" ]
deps = [ "//base:a" ]
}
The following will be written to "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" (again less
the comments):
[
"baz.cpp", // from //base:c via //base:b
"bar.cpp", // from //base:b via //base:a
"foo.cpp", // from //base:a
]
If `rebase` is used in the following generated_file target:
generated_file("my_files_metadata") {
outputs = [ "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" ]
data_keys = [ "my_files" ]
walk_keys = [ "my_barrier" ]
rebase = root_build_dir
deps = [ "//base:a" ]
}
The following will be written to "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" (again less
the comments) (assuming root_build_dir = "//out"):
[
"../base/baz.cpp", // from //base:c via //base:b
"../base/bar.cpp", // from //base:b via //base:a
"../base/foo.cpp", // from //base:a
