abstract-target Base class for all abstract targets. class abstract-target { rule __init__ ( name : project ) rule name ( ) rule project ( ) rule location ( ) rule full-name ( ) rule generate ( property-set ) } Classes derived from abstract-target: project-target main-target basic-target rule __init__ ( name : project ) name The name of the target in the Jamfile. project The project to which this target belongs. name Abstract Target rule name ( ) Returns the name of this target. project Abstract Target rule project ( ) Returns the project for this target. location Abstract Target rule location ( ) Returns the location where the target was declared. full-name Abstract Target rule full-name ( ) Returns a user-readable name for this target. generate Abstract Target rule generate ( property-set ) Generates virtual targets for this abstract target using the specified properties, unless a different value of some feature is required by the target. This is an abstract method which must be overriden by derived classes. On success, returns: a property-set with the usage requirements to be applied to dependents a list of produced virtual targets, which may be empty. If property-set is empty, performs the default build of this target, in a way specific to the derived class.
