A toolchain is a set of commands and build flags used to compile the source
code. The toolchain() function defines these commands.
Toolchain overview
You can have more than one toolchain in use at once in a build and a target
can exist simultaneously in multiple toolchains. A build file is executed
once for each toolchain it is referenced in so the GN code can vary all
parameters of each target (or which targets exist) on a per-toolchain basis.
When you have a simple build with only one toolchain, the build config file
is loaded only once at the beginning of the build. It must call
set_default_toolchain() (see "gn help set_default_toolchain") to tell GN the
label of the toolchain definition to use. The "toolchain_args" section of the
toolchain definition is ignored.
When a target has a dependency on a target using different toolchain (see "gn
help labels" for how to specify this), GN will start a build using that
secondary toolchain to resolve the target. GN will load the build config file
with the build arguments overridden as specified in the toolchain_args.
Because the default toolchain is already known, calls to
set_default_toolchain() are ignored.
To load a file in an alternate toolchain, GN does the following:
1. Loads the file with the toolchain definition in it (as determined by the
toolchain label).
2. Re-runs the master build configuration file, applying the arguments
specified by the toolchain_args section of the toolchain definition.
3. Loads the destination build file in the context of the configuration file
in the previous step.
The toolchain configuration is two-way. In the default toolchain (i.e. the
main build target) the configuration flows from the build config file to the
toolchain. The build config file looks at the state of the build (OS type,
CPU architecture, etc.) and decides which toolchain to use (via
set_default_toolchain()). In secondary toolchains, the configuration flows
from the toolchain to the build config file: the "toolchain_args" in the
toolchain definition specifies the arguments to re-invoke the build.
Functions and variables
tool()
The tool() function call specifies the commands to run for a given step. See
"gn help tool".
toolchain_args [scope]
Overrides for build arguments to pass to the toolchain when invoking it.
This is a variable of type "scope" where the variable names correspond to
variables in declare_args() blocks.
When you specify a target using an alternate toolchain, the master build
configuration file is re-interpreted in the context of that toolchain.
toolchain_args allows you to control the arguments passed into this
alternate invocation of the build.
Any default system arguments or arguments passed in via "gn args" will also
be passed to the alternate invocation unless explicitly overridden by
toolchain_args.
The toolchain_args will be ignored when the toolchain being defined is the
default. In this case, it's expected you want the default argument values.
See also "gn help buildargs" for an overview of these arguments.
propagates_configs [boolean, default=false]
Determines whether public_configs and all_dependent_configs in this
toolchain propagate to targets in other toolchains.
When false (the default), this toolchain will not propagate any configs to
targets in other toolchains that depend on it targets inside this
toolchain. This matches the most common usage of toolchains where they
represent different architectures or compilers and the settings that apply
to one won't necessarily apply to others.
When true, configs (public and all-dependent) will cross the boundary out
of this toolchain as if the toolchain boundary wasn't there. This only
affects one direction of dependencies: a toolchain can't control whether
it accepts such configs, only whether it pushes them. The build is
responsible for ensuring that any external targets depending on targets in
this toolchain are compatible with the compiler flags, etc. that may be
propagated.
deps [string list]
Dependencies of this toolchain. These dependencies will be resolved before
any target in the toolchain is compiled. To avoid circular dependencies
these must be targets defined in another toolchain.
This is expressed as a list of targets, and generally these targets will
always specify a toolchain:
deps = [ "//foo/bar:baz(//build/toolchain:bootstrap)" ]
This concept is somewhat inefficient to express in Ninja (it requires a lot
of duplicate of rules) so should only be used when absolutely necessary.
Example of defining a toolchain
toolchain("32") {
tool("cc") {
command = "gcc {{source}}"
...
}
toolchain_args = {
use_doom_melon = true # Doom melon always required for 32-bit builds.
current_cpu = "x86"
}
}
toolchain("64") {
tool("cc") {
command = "gcc {{source}}"
...
}
toolchain_args = {
# use_doom_melon is not overridden here, it will take the default.
current_cpu = "x64"
}
}
Example of cross-toolchain dependencies
If a 64-bit target wants to depend on a 32-bit binary, it would specify a
dependency using data_deps (data deps are like deps that are only needed at
runtime and aren't linked, since you can't link a 32-bit and a 64-bit
library).
executable("my_program") {
...
if (target_cpu == "x64") {
# The 64-bit build needs this 32-bit helper.
data_deps = [ ":helper(//toolchains:32)" ]
}
}
if (target_cpu == "x86") {
# Our helper library is only compiled in 32-bits.
shared_library("helper") {
...
}
}

Tool variables
command [string with substitutions]
Valid for: all tools except "action" (required)
The command to run.
command_launcher [string]
Valid for: all tools except "action" (optional)
The prefix with which to launch the command (e.g. the path to a Goma or
CCache compiler launcher).
Note that this prefix will not be included in the compilation database or
IDE files generated from the build.
default_output_dir [string with substitutions]
Valid for: linker tools
Default directory name for the output file relative to the
root_build_dir. It can contain other substitution patterns. This will
be the default value for the {{output_dir}} expansion (discussed below)
but will be overridden by the "output_dir" variable in a target, if one
is specified.
GN doesn't do anything with this string other than pass it along,
potentially with target-specific overrides. It is the tool's job to use
the expansion so that the files will be in the right place.
default_output_extension [string]
Valid for: linker tools
Extension for the main output of a linkable tool. It includes the
leading dot. This will be the default value for the
{{output_extension}} expansion (discussed below) but will be overridden
by by the "output extension" variable in a target, if one is specified.
Empty string means no extension.
GN doesn't actually do anything with this extension other than pass it
along, potentially with target-specific overrides. One would typically
use the {{output_extension}} value in the "outputs" to read this value.
Example: default_output_extension = ".exe"
depfile [string with substitutions]
Valid for: compiler tools (optional)
If the tool can write ".d" files, this specifies the name of the
resulting file. These files are used to list header file dependencies
(or other implicit input dependencies) that are discovered at build
time. See also "depsformat".
Example: depfile = "{{output}}.d"
depsformat [string]
Valid for: compiler tools (when depfile is specified)
Format for the deps outputs. This is either "gcc" or "msvc". See the
ninja documentation for "deps" for more information.
Example: depsformat = "gcc"
description [string with substitutions, optional]
Valid for: all tools
What to print when the command is run.
Example: description = "Compiling {{source}}"
exe_output_extension [string, optional, rust tools only]
rlib_output_extension [string, optional, rust tools only]
dylib_output_extension [string, optional, rust tools only]
cdylib_output_extension [string, optional, rust tools only]
proc_macro_output_extension [string, optional, rust tools only]
Valid for: Rust tools
These specify the default tool output for each of the crate types.
The default is empty for executables, shared, and static libraries and
".rlib" for rlibs. Note that the Rust compiler complains with an error
if external crates do not take the form `lib<name>.rlib` or
`lib<name>.<shared_extension>`, where `<shared_extension>` is `.so`,
`.dylib`, or `.dll` as appropriate for the platform.
lib_switch [string, optional, link tools only]
lib_dir_switch [string, optional, link tools only]
Valid for: Linker tools except "alink"
These strings will be prepended to the libraries and library search
directories, respectively, because linkers differ on how specify them.
If you specified:
lib_switch = "-l"
lib_dir_switch = "-L"
then the "{{libs}}" expansion for [ "freetype", "expat"] would be
"-lfreetype -lexpat".
outputs [list of strings with substitutions]
Valid for: Linker and compiler tools (required)
An array of names for the output files the tool produces. These are
relative to the build output directory. There must always be at least
one output file. There can be more than one output (a linker might
produce a library and an import library, for example).
This array just declares to GN what files the tool will produce. It is
your responsibility to specify the tool command that actually produces
these files.
If you specify more than one output for shared library links, you
should consider setting link_output, depend_output, and
runtime_outputs.
Example for a compiler tool that produces .obj files:
outputs = [
"{{source_out_dir}}/{{source_name_part}}.obj"
]
Example for a linker tool that produces a .dll and a .lib. The use of
{{target_output_name}}, {{output_extension}} and {{output_dir}} allows
the target to override these values.
outputs = [
"{{output_dir}}/{{target_output_name}}"
"{{output_extension}}",
"{{output_dir}}/{{target_output_name}}.lib",
]
pool [label, optional]
Valid for: all tools (optional)
Label of the pool to use for the tool. Pools are used to limit the
number of tasks that can execute concurrently during the build.
See also "gn help pool".
link_output [string with substitutions]
depend_output [string with substitutions]
Valid for: "solink" only (optional)
These two files specify which of the outputs from the solink tool
should be used for linking and dependency tracking. These should match
entries in the "outputs". If unspecified, the first item in the
"outputs" array will be used for all. See "Separate linking and
dependencies for shared libraries" below for more.
On Windows, where the tools produce a .dll shared library and a .lib
import library, you will want the first two to be the import library
and the third one to be the .dll file. On Linux, if you're not doing
the separate linking/dependency optimization, all of these should be
the .so output.
output_prefix [string]
Valid for: Linker tools (optional)
Prefix to use for the output name. Defaults to empty. This prefix will
be prepended to the name of the target (or the output_name if one is
manually specified for it) if the prefix is not already there. The
result will show up in the {{output_name}} substitution pattern.
Individual targets can opt-out of the output prefix by setting:
output_prefix_override = true
(see "gn help output_prefix_override").
This is typically used to prepend "lib" to libraries on
Posix systems:
output_prefix = "lib"
precompiled_header_type [string]
Valid for: "cc", "cxx", "objc", "objcxx"
Type of precompiled headers. If undefined or the empty string,
precompiled headers will not be used for this tool. Otherwise use "gcc"
or "msvc".
For precompiled headers to be used for a given target, the target (or a
config applied to it) must also specify a "precompiled_header" and, for
"msvc"-style headers, a "precompiled_source" value. If the type is
"gcc", then both "precompiled_header" and "precompiled_source" must
resolve to the same file, despite the different formats required for
each."
See "gn help precompiled_header" for more.
restat [boolean]
Valid for: all tools (optional, defaults to false)
Requests that Ninja check the file timestamp after this tool has run to
determine if anything changed. Set this if your tool has the ability to
skip writing output if the output file has not changed.
Normally, Ninja will assume that when a tool runs the output be new and
downstream dependents must be rebuild. When this is set to trye, Ninja
can skip rebuilding downstream dependents for input changes that don't
actually affect the output.
Example:
restat = true
rspfile [string with substitutions]
Valid for: all tools except "action" (optional)
Name of the response file. If empty, no response file will be
used. See "rspfile_content".
rspfile_content [string with substitutions]
Valid for: all tools except "action" (required when "rspfile" is used)
The contents to be written to the response file. This may include all
or part of the command to send to the tool which allows you to get
around OS command-line length limits.
This example adds the inputs and libraries to a response file, but
passes the linker flags directly on the command line:
tool("link") {
command = "link -o {{output}} {{ldflags}} @{{output}}.rsp"
rspfile = "{{output}}.rsp"
rspfile_content = "{{inputs}} {{solibs}} {{libs}}"
}
runtime_outputs [string list with substitutions]
Valid for: linker tools
If specified, this list is the subset of the outputs that should be
added to runtime deps (see "gn help runtime_deps"). By default (if
runtime_outputs is empty or unspecified), it will be the link_output.
)" // String break to prevent overflowing the 16K max VC string length.
R"(Expansions for tool variables
All paths are relative to the root build directory, which is the current
directory for running all tools. These expansions are available to all tools:
{{label}}
The label of the current target. This is typically used in the
"description" field for link tools. The toolchain will be omitted from
the label for targets in the default toolchain, and will be included
for targets in other toolchains.
{{label_name}}
The short name of the label of the target. This is the part after the
colon. For "//foo/bar:baz" this will be "baz". Unlike
{{target_output_name}}, this is not affected by the "output_prefix" in
the tool or the "output_name" set on the target.
{{output}}
The relative path and name of the output(s) of the current build step.
If there is more than one output, this will expand to a list of all of
them. Example: "out/base/my_file.o"
{{target_gen_dir}}
{{target_out_dir}}
The directory of the generated file and output directories,
respectively, for the current target. There is no trailing slash. See
also {{output_dir}} for linker tools. Example: "out/base/test"
{{target_output_name}}
The short name of the current target with no path information, or the
value of the "output_name" variable if one is specified in the target.
This will include the "output_prefix" if any. See also {{label_name}}.
Example: "libfoo" for the target named "foo" and an output prefix for
the linker tool of "lib".
Compiler tools have the notion of a single input and a single output, along
with a set of compiler-specific flags. The following expansions are
available:
{{asmflags}}
{{cflags}}
{{cflags_c}}
{{cflags_cc}}
{{cflags_objc}}
{{cflags_objcc}}
{{defines}}
{{include_dirs}}
Strings correspond that to the processed flags/defines/include
directories specified for the target.
Example: "--enable-foo --enable-bar"
Defines will be prefixed by "-D" and include directories will be
prefixed by "-I" (these work with Posix tools as well as Microsoft
ones).
{{source}}
The relative path and name of the current input file.
Example: "../../base/my_file.cc"
{{source_file_part}}
The file part of the source including the extension (with no directory
information).
Example: "foo.cc"
{{source_name_part}}
The filename part of the source file with no directory or extension.
Example: "foo"
{{source_gen_dir}}
{{source_out_dir}}
The directory in the generated file and output directories,
respectively, for the current input file. If the source file is in the
same directory as the target is declared in, they will will be the same
as the "target" versions above. Example: "gen/base/test"
Linker tools have multiple inputs and (potentially) multiple outputs. The
static library tool ("alink") is not considered a linker tool. The following
expansions are available:
{{inputs}}
{{inputs_newline}}
Expands to the inputs to the link step. This will be a list of object
files and static libraries.
Example: "obj/foo.o obj/bar.o obj/somelibrary.a"
The "_newline" version will separate the input files with newlines
instead of spaces. This is useful in response files: some linkers can
take a "-filelist" flag which expects newline separated files, and some
Microsoft tools have a fixed-sized buffer for parsing each line of a
response file.
{{ldflags}}
Expands to the processed set of ldflags and library search paths
specified for the target.
Example: "-m64 -fPIC -pthread -L/usr/local/mylib"
{{libs}}
Expands to the list of system libraries to link to. Each will be
prefixed by the "lib_switch".
As a special case to support Mac, libraries with names ending in
".framework" will be added to the {{libs}} with "-framework" preceding
it, and the lib prefix will be ignored.
Example: "-lfoo -lbar"
{{output_dir}}
The value of the "output_dir" variable in the target, or the the value
of the "default_output_dir" value in the tool if the target does not
override the output directory. This will be relative to the
root_build_dir and will not end in a slash. Will be "." for output to
the root_build_dir.
This is subtly different than {{target_out_dir}} which is defined by GN
based on the target's path and not overridable. {{output_dir}} is for
the final output, {{target_out_dir}} is generally for object files and
other outputs.
Usually {{output_dir}} would be defined in terms of either
{{target_out_dir}} or {{root_out_dir}}
{{output_extension}}
The value of the "output_extension" variable in the target, or the
value of the "default_output_extension" value in the tool if the target
does not specify an output extension.
Example: ".so"
{{solibs}}
Extra libraries from shared library dependencies not specified in the
{{inputs}}. This is the list of link_output files from shared libraries
(if the solink tool specifies a "link_output" variable separate from
the "depend_output").
These should generally be treated the same as libs by your tool.
Example: "libfoo.so libbar.so"
)" // String break to prevent overflowing the 16K max VC string length.
R"( The static library ("alink") tool allows {{arflags}} plus the common tool
substitutions.
The copy tool allows the common compiler/linker substitutions, plus
{{source}} which is the source of the copy. The stamp tool allows only the
common tool substitutions.
The copy_bundle_data and compile_xcassets tools only allows the common tool
substitutions. Both tools are required to create iOS/macOS bundles and need
only be defined on those platforms.
The copy_bundle_data tool will be called with one source and needs to copy
(optionally optimizing the data representation) to its output. It may be
called with a directory as input and it needs to be recursively copied.
The compile_xcassets tool will be called with one or more source (each an
asset catalog) that needs to be compiled to a single output. The following
substitutions are available:
{{inputs}}
Expands to the list of .xcassets to use as input to compile the asset
catalog.
{{bundle_product_type}}
Expands to the product_type of the bundle that will contain the
compiled asset catalog. Usually corresponds to the product_type
property of the corresponding create_bundle target.
{{bundle_partial_info_plist}}
Expands to the path to the partial Info.plist generated by the
assets catalog compiler. Usually based on the target_name of
the create_bundle target.
Rust tools have the notion of a single input and a single output, along
with a set of compiler-specific flags. The following expansions are
available:
{{crate_name}}
Expands to the string representing the crate name of target under
compilation.
{{crate_type}}
Expands to the string representing the type of crate for the target
under compilation.
{{externs}}
Expands to the list of --extern flags needed to include addition Rust
libraries in this target. Includes any specified renamed dependencies.
{{rustc_output_extension}}
Expands to the output extension for this target's crate type.
{{rustc_output_prefix}}
Expands to the prefix for shared and static libraries. This should
generally be "lib". Empty for executable targets.
{{rustdeps}}
Expands to the list of -Ldependency=<path> strings needed to compile
this target.
{{rustenv}}
Expands to the list of environment variables.
{{rustflags}}
Expands to the list of strings representing Rust compiler flags.
Separate linking and dependencies for shared libraries
Shared libraries are special in that not all changes to them require that
dependent targets be re-linked. If the shared library is changed but no
imports or exports are different, dependent code needn't be relinked, which
can speed up the build.
If your link step can output a list of exports from a shared library and
writes the file only if the new one is different, the timestamp of this file
can be used for triggering re-links, while the actual shared library would be
used for linking.
You will need to specify
restat = true
in the linker tool to make this work, so Ninja will detect if the timestamp
of the dependency file has changed after linking (otherwise it will always
assume that running a command updates the output):
tool("solink") {
command = "..."
outputs = [
"{{output_dir}}/{{target_output_name}}{{output_extension}}",
"{{output_dir}}/{{target_output_name}}"
"{{output_extension}}.TOC",
]
link_output =
"{{output_dir}}/{{target_output_name}}{{output_extension}}"
depend_output =
"{{output_dir}}/{{target_output_name}}"
"{{output_extension}}.TOC"
restat = true
}
