MSVS: Erroneous solution file generation with MSVSSolution and variant_dir

[jcbrill]

When using MSVSSolution with a variant build directory, the actual solution file is generated in the build directory instead of the source directory.

The expected result is that a placeholder solution file is generated in the build directory and the actual solution file is generated in the source directory.

• When using the SCons project GUID generation, the generated solution file and the generated project file have different GUIDs so the sln file cannot be copied into the src directory:

When using MSVSSolution with a variant build directory, the actual solution file is generated in the build directory instead of the source directory.

There are seemingly endless cases of mishandling of files that aren't actual build products (put in the wrong places and/or not tracked properly) when variantdir is involved - see Fortran module files, msvc PDB files, etc. And now you're telling us that when it's behaving as designed (variantdir means everything goes there) that's not correct either?

[jcbrill]

And now you're telling us that when it's behaving as designed (variantdir means everything goes there) that's not correct either?

The msvs tool for MSVSProject and MSVSSolution are designed to generate the solution and project files in the source directory (presumably with the c/c++ files) and placeholder files in the build directory.

In terms of solution file generation locations, the following should be equivalent when using a variantdir:

• scenario 1

  env.MSVSProject(..., auto_build_solution=1)
  

• scenario 2

  p = env.MSVSProject(..., auto_build_solution=0)
  s = env.MSVSSolution(... projects=[p])
  

However, the results are not the same.

Current results:

• scenario 1:

  • build
    • placeholder solution
    • placeholder project
  • src
    • actual solution
    • actual project

• scenario 2:

  • build:
    • actual solution [SHOULD BE PLACEHOLDER]
    • placeholder project
  • src:
    • actual project
    • [ACTUAL SOLUTION MISSING]

When using auto_build_solution=1 with MSVSProject, the solution placeholder and actual files are generated in the correct locations.

However, using auto_build_solution=0 with MSVSProject the project files are correct but the MSVSSolution generated file and location is incorrect.

Basically, a parallel implementation for detecting the locations was missing for the "standalone" MSVSSolution invocation.

[bdbaddog]

If that's how they're designed, then that's a flaw when using variant dirs.. Nothing should get written into the source of a variant dir.

[mwichmann]

The problem is we're writing those files for something external to consume, and they have to go where it makes sense for that tool. To visual studio, it would make no sense for the solution/project files to go into the variant dir.

Why? isn't it just a cd xyz, run scons? I'm not sure I get why it matters where this file is.

[jcbrill]

I suspect it is because the project files are generated assuming the source files are in the same directory.

I was under the impression that the solution/project files were for code-browsing via Visual Studio and that building would simply have python call SCons. Maybe?

A full example from the test suite follows. Perhaps it will be illuminating.

Sample: SConstruct:

SConscript('src/SConscript', variant_dir='Build', duplicate=0)

Sample SConscript:

env=Environment(tools=['msvs'], MSVC_VERSION='14.3')

env.MSVSProject(
    target = 'Test.vcxproj',
    srcs = ['test1.cpp', 'test2.cpp'],
    incs = [r'sdk_dir\sdk.h'],
    localincs = ['test.h'],
    resources = ['test.rc'],
    misc = ['readme.txt'],
    buildtarget = 'Test.exe',
    variant = 'Release',
)

I can't quicky test a "real" example.

[mwichmann]

if you build a project file, it's for vs to use and includes how it calls scons to build. tbh I don't know what restrictions it has, but we do have to live by them. I'm out of my depth here. does variantdir even make sense in this context? or is this "don't do that"?

[jcbrill]

I'm out of my depth here.

(raising and waving hand) Me too.

Mongodb appears to be generating their own project file. The banner indicates it is used as a code browser and for debugging. I think they use a variantdir for builds, but didn't look.

https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/buildscripts/make_vcxproj.py

Locally, I'm trying to get a hello world example to build with no joy. Tomorrow is another day...

[jcbrill]

What follows is a minimal example of building a simple "hello, world" program and generating solution/project files for Visual Studio using a variantdir build.

It appears that the MSVSProject buildtarget (An optional string, node, or list of strings or nodes (one per build variant), to tell the Visual Studio debugger what output target to use in what build variant.) should be the same as an alias for the project.

It is configured to generate the solution file in the "root" next to the SConstruct file and the project file in the src folder next to the hello.c source file. See the project layout below.

Maybe tomorrow I'll try generating the solution file in the src folder as well.

It almost makes sense to me now. Almost.
