24    The basic idea behind a compiler abstraction class is that each
25    instance can be used for all the compile/link steps in building a
26    single project.  Thus, attributes common to all of those compile and
27    link steps -- include directories, macros to define, libraries to link
28    against, etc. -- are attributes of the compiler instance.  To allow for
29    variability in how individual files are treated, most of those
30    attributes may be varied on a per-compilation or per-link basis.

36    # 'isinstance'.  In concrete CCompiler subclasses, 'compiler_type'
37    # should really, really be one of the keys of the 'compiler_class'
38    # dictionary (see below -- used by the 'new_compiler()' factory

46    #     should be the domain of concrete compiler abstraction classes
47    #     (UnixCCompiler, MSVCCompiler, etc.) -- or perhaps the base
48    #     class should have methods for the common ones.
49    #   * can't completely override the include or library searchg
50    #     path, ie. no "cc -I -Idir1 -Idir2" or "cc -L -Ldir1 -Ldir2".

52    #     compilers, much less on other platforms.  And I'm even less
53    #     sure how useful it is; maybe for cross-compiling, but
54    #     support for that is a ways off.  (And anyways, cross
55    #     compilers probably have a dedicated binary with the

760        The "bunch of stuff" consists of the list of object files supplied
761        as 'objects'.  'output_filename' should be a filename.  If
762        'output_dir' is supplied, 'output_filename' is relative to it
763        (i.e. 'output_filename' can provide directory components if
764        needed).
765
766        'libraries' is a list of libraries to link against.  These are
767        library names, not filenames, since they're translated into
768        filenames in a platform-specific way (eg. "foo" becomes "libfoo.a"
769        on Unix and "foo.lib" on DOS/Windows).  However, they can include a
770        directory component, which means the linker will look in that
771        specific directory rather than searching all the normal locations.
772
773        'library_dirs', if supplied, should be a list of directories to
774        search for libraries that were specified as bare library names
775        (ie. no directory component).  These are on top of the system
776        default and those supplied to 'add_library_dir()' and/or
777        'set_library_dirs()'.  'runtime_library_dirs' is a list of
778        directories that will be embedded into the shared library and used
779        to search for other shared libraries that *it* depends on at
780        run-time.  (This may only be relevant on Unix.)
781
782        'export_symbols' is a list of symbols that the shared library will
783        export.  (This appears to be relevant only on Windows.)
784
785        'debug' is as for 'compile()' and 'create_static_lib()', with the
786        slight distinction that it actually matters on most platforms (as
787        opposed to 'create_static_lib()', which includes a 'debug' flag
788        mostly for form's sake).
789
790        'extra_preargs' and 'extra_postargs' are as for 'compile()' (except
791        of course that they supply command-line arguments for the
792        particular linker being used).
793
794        'target_lang' is the target language for which the given objects
795        are being compiled. This allows specific linkage time treatment of
796        certain languages.
797
798        Raises LinkError on failure.

948    #     "lib%s.%s" % (lib_name, ".a") for Unix static libraries
