It should be possible for example to do this:
"$<AND:${FOO},$<BOOL:${TGT}>,$<BOOL:$<TARGET_PROPERTY:${TGT},PROP>"
such that it works simliarly to the C code:
if (foo && tgt && tgt->prop())
{
}
The example of generator expression code is a little bit contrived as
it could be written other ways with the same functionality. Nevertheless,
as these cases already work and are intentional, test for them.
Otherwise the comma is treated as plain text by ParseContent.
$<STREQUAL:,> should be valid and true.
$<STREQUAL:,something> should be valid and false.
$<STREQUAL:,,> should be non-valid as it is 3 parameters.
$<STREQUAL:something,,> should be non-valid as it is 3 parameters.
Additionally, this allows reporting the correct error for other
expressions. For example $<TARGET_PROPERTY:,> should be invalid
because it has an empty target and empty property. It shouldn't
attempt to read the property ',' on the 'implicit this' target.
The expressions may be parsed and then cached and evaluated multiple
times. They are evaluated lazily so that literals such as ',' can be
treated as universal parameter separators, and can be processed from
results without appearing literally, and without interfering with the
parsing/evaluation of the entire expression.
This expression evaluates to '1' or '0' to indicate whether the build
configuration for which the expression is evaluated matches tha named
configuration. In combination with the "$<0:...>" and "$<1:...>"
expressions this allows per-configuration content to be generated.
Add generator expressions that combine and use boolean test results:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
These will be useful to evaluate (future) boolean query expressions and
condition content on the results. Include tests and documentation.
