Some platforms, like AIX, when building with gcc need `-pthread` option to enable std thread support. This adds an alternate check with that option as fallback to plain gcc compile.
Surround the `CXX` path with double quotes to support spaces in the path.
Otherwise if the `CXX` variable is set to a path containing spaces like
```
C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/BuildTools/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.16.27023/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe
```
the following error message is printed:
```
'C:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
```
Using pygments.rb fails on Ruby3 because of missing class create
methods. Which makes using the same script for ruby2 and ruby3
a problem. We aren't using pygments currently anyway, so
disable it for now.
There was a systemic error of using ":=" instead of ":-" var expansion
that caused all kinds of problems. Replacing all the instances to be
correct fixed them. But also brought to light other problems. The
changes include fixing the intel detection to no leak and persist it's
setup. And to also support setup script generally if required.
Fixes#705
CXX was previously only used to replace the exec part of the compiler
commands. This change restores that aspect. It also makes the toolset
checks short circuit so that we do get the best toolset and command
detected.
This rewrites the build.sh to remove duplication of base compiler
command to combine checking the command and specifying it.
Which allows for only detecting valid working commands, and
hence toolsets. This also adds the new Intel oneAPI compiler.
In the case where multiple @() substitutions happen in one action the
dynamic choice of file vs content would apply to all. This would cause
problems as some of them might not be command options. This change
adds an ":O=" options specifier to variables that can control what type
of @() substitution can happen for each expansion. By specifying "O:=FC"
one can select to allow either file or content expansion making that @()
instance dynamic. When not specified the default is as if "O:=F".
* Define OSMINOR & OS_HURD on GNU/Hurd
Add a way to identify GNU/Hurd with b2, and also in the Python support.
* Use /proc/self/exe for executable_path on Hurd
Use the Linux compatibility procfs translator to get the full path of
the current executable.
* Define _GNU_SOURCE on any GNU libc-based OS
Make sure to enable GNU features when building on any OS that uses
GNU libc.
For bootstrapping `b2` itself, the current `borland` toolset is broken
now as `bcc32.exe` doesn't support C++11. Update that toolset to use
the Clang-based `bcc32c.exe`, which has largely the same cmdline args.
This implements the ability for response file "@()" substitution to
dynamically adjust to either expand the content or create the response
file depending on the possible command line length. This should
reduce the create of such response temp files improving build
performance.
The executable_path allocates a string (strdup) which was never released
