First, let's see a cool demo:
-
Version 2.0 is released! It includes the following notable changes:
- minimal python version 2.7, support python 3
- Support Java, scala building
- Full support to Python
- Support custom extensions
- Only use ninja as backend build system, increases speed dramatically.
Please follow the Upgrade Notes to upgrade.
Blade is designed to be a modern build system. It is powerful and easy to use. It supports building multiple languages, such as c/c++, java, python, scala, protobuf, etc. It analyzes the target dependency automatically and integrates compiling, linking, testing(includes incremental testing and parallel testing) and static code inspectiontogether. It aims to improve the clarity and simplicity of the building rules for a project.
With Blade, you can compile, link and test multiple targets by just inputting one simple command line. For example:
Build and test all targets in common directory recursively.
blade test common...Build and test targets as 32 bit
blade test -m32 common...Build and test targets as debug mode
blade test -pdebug common...And you can combine the flags together:
blade test -m32 -pdebug common...- Auto dependency analysis, includes header files and libraries.
- Test integration: built-in support of gtest. Support incremental testing and parallel testing.
- Simple syntax, easy to use.
- Simple command line interface similar to svn.
- Memory leak checking(with gperftools).
- Bash command line completion.
- Colorful diagnostic message displaying.
- Vim integration, includes syntax hi-light, quickfix.
Sorry for Chinese only, English documentation is under construction.
- Blade is inspired by Google's public information about their building system. Here is a reference article from Google's official blog.
build in cloud: how build system works
- Blade generates Ninja script internally, so of cause it depends on ninja.
- Python is a powerful and easy-to-used language, we like python.
- Some libraries open sourced by Google, such as protobuf, gtest, gperftools are handy and powerful, we have integrated these libraries.
