YAZE Build Scripts

This directory contains build automation and maintenance scripts for the YAZE project.

build_cleaner.py

Automates CMake source list maintenance and header include management with IWYU-style analysis.

Features

1. CMake Source List Maintenance: Automatically updates source file lists in CMake files
2. Self-Header Includes: Ensures source files include their corresponding headers
3. IWYU-Style Analysis: Suggests missing headers based on symbol usage
4. .gitignore Support: Respects .gitignore patterns when scanning files
5. Auto-Discovery: Can discover CMake libraries that opt-in to auto-maintenance

Usage

# Dry-run to see what would change (recommended first step)
python3 scripts/build_cleaner.py --dry-run

# Update CMake source lists and header includes
python3 scripts/build_cleaner.py

# Run IWYU-style header analysis
python3 scripts/build_cleaner.py --iwyu

# Auto-discover CMake libraries marked for auto-maintenance
python3 scripts/build_cleaner.py --auto-discover

# Update only CMake source lists
python3 scripts/build_cleaner.py --cmake-only

# Update only header includes
python3 scripts/build_cleaner.py --includes-only

Opting-In to Auto-Maintenance

By default, the script only auto-maintains source lists that are explicitly marked. To mark a CMake variable for auto-maintenance, add a comment above the set() statement:

# This list is auto-maintained by scripts/build_cleaner.py
set(
  YAZE_APP_EMU_SRC
  app/emu/audio/apu.cc
  app/emu/cpu/cpu.cc
  # ... more files
)

The script looks for comments containing "auto-maintain" (case-insensitive) within 3 lines above the set() statement.

Excluding Files from Processing

To exclude a specific file from all processing (CMake lists, header includes, IWYU), add this token near the top of the file:

// build_cleaner:ignore

.gitignore Support

The script automatically respects .gitignore patterns. To enable this feature, install the pathspec dependency:

pip3 install -r scripts/requirements.txt
# or
pip3 install pathspec

IWYU Configuration

The script includes basic IWYU-style analysis that suggests headers based on symbol prefixes. To customize which headers are suggested, edit the COMMON_HEADERS dictionary in the script:

COMMON_HEADERS = {
    'std::': ['<memory>', '<string>', '<vector>', ...],
    'absl::': ['<absl/status/status.h>', ...],
    'ImGui::': ['<imgui.h>'],
    'SDL_': ['<SDL.h>'],
}

Note: The IWYU analysis is conservative and may suggest headers that are already transitively included. Use with care and review suggestions before applying.

Integration with CMake

The script is integrated into the CMake build system:

# Run as a CMake target
cmake --build build --target build_cleaner

Dependencies

• Python 3.7+
• pathspec (optional, for .gitignore support): pip3 install pathspec

How It Works

1. CMake Maintenance: Scans directories specified in the configuration and updates set(VAR_NAME ...) blocks with the current list of source files
2. Self-Headers: For each .cc/.cpp file, ensures it includes its corresponding .h file
3. IWYU Analysis: Scans source files for symbols and suggests appropriate headers based on prefix matching

Current Auto-Maintained Variables

All 20 library source lists are now auto-maintained by default:

• Core: YAZE_APP_EMU_SRC, YAZE_APP_CORE_SRC, YAZE_APP_EDITOR_SRC, YAZE_APP_ZELDA3_SRC, YAZE_NET_SRC, YAZE_UTIL_SRC
• GFX: GFX_TYPES_SRC, GFX_BACKEND_SRC, GFX_RESOURCE_SRC, GFX_CORE_SRC, GFX_UTIL_SRC, GFX_RENDER_SRC, GFX_DEBUG_SRC
• GUI: GUI_CORE_SRC, CANVAS_SRC, GUI_WIDGETS_SRC, GUI_AUTOMATION_SRC, GUI_APP_SRC
• Other: YAZE_AGENT_SOURCES, YAZE_TEST_SOURCES

The script intelligently preserves conditional blocks (if/endif) and excludes conditional files from the main source list.
