gb is a proof of concept replacement build tool for the Go programming language.

I gave a talk about gb and the rational for its creation at GDG Berlin in April 2015, video and slides.

Project based

gb operates on the concept of a project. A gb project is a workspace for all the Go code that is required to build your project.

A gb project is a folder on disk that contains a subdirectory named src/. That's it, no environment variables to set. For the rest of this document we'll refer to your gb project as $PROJECT.

You can create as many projects as you like and move between them simply by changing directories.

Installation

go get github.com/constabulary/gb/...

gb has its own site, getgb.io, head over there for more information.

Road map
Completed
  • Cross Compilation
  • Tag handling, unify -tags, ENVVARS and GOOS/GOARCH into a single format for binary names and pkg cache
  • gb test improvements, test output, test flag handling
  • Race detector support
Todo
  • 0.4 series: gb vendor updates and bug fixes
  • 0.5 series: new package resolver (replace go/build)
Big ticket items

Big ticket items that are not on the road map yet

  • Package BuildID support (make stale detection work like the Go 1.5)
  • gccgo toolchain support.

Documentation

Overview

Package gb is a tool kit for building Go packages and programs.

The executable, cmd/gb, is located in the respective subdirectory along with several plugin programs.

Functions

func Build 

func Build(pkgs ...*Package) error

Build builds each of pkgs in succession. If pkg is a command, then the results of build include linking the final binary into pkg.Context.Bindir().

func Execute 

func Execute(a *Action) error

Execute executes a tree of *Actions sequentually in depth first order.

func ExecuteConcurrent 

func ExecuteConcurrent(a *Action, n int, interrupt <-chan struct{}) error

ExecuteConcurrent executes all actions in a tree concurrently. Each Action will wait until its dependant actions are complete.

func GOARCH added in v0.1.1 

func GOARCH(goarch string) func(*Context) error

GOARCH configures the Context to use goarch as the target arch.

func GOOS added in v0.1.1 

func GOOS(goos string) func(*Context) error

GOOS configures the Context to use goos as the target os.

func GcToolchain 

func GcToolchain() func(c *Context) error

func Gcflags 

func Gcflags(flags ...string) func(*Context) error

Gcflags appends flags to the list passed to the compiler.

func Ldflags 

func Ldflags(flags ...string) func(*Context) error

Ldflags appends flags to the list passed to the linker.

func Tags added in v0.2.0 

func Tags(tags ...string) func(*Context) error

Tags configured the context to use these additional build tags

func WithRace added in v0.3.5 

func WithRace(c *Context) error

WithRace enables the race detector and adds the tag "race" to the Context build tags.

Types

type Action 

type Action struct {

	// Name describes the action.
	Name string

	// Deps identifies the Actions that this Action depends.
	Deps []*Action

	// Run identifies the task that this action represents.
	Run func() error
}

An Action describes a task to be performed and a set of Actions that the task depends on.

func BuildDependencies 

func BuildDependencies(targets map[string]*Action, pkg *Package) ([]*Action, error)

BuildDependencies returns a slice of Actions representing the steps required to build all dependant packages of this package.

func BuildPackage 

func BuildPackage(targets map[string]*Action, pkg *Package) (*Action, error)

BuildPackage returns an Action representing the steps required to build this package.

func BuildPackages 

func BuildPackages(pkgs ...*Package) (*Action, error)

BuildPackages produces a tree of *Actions that can be executed to build a *Package. BuildPackages walks the tree of *Packages and returns a corresponding tree of *Actions representing the steps required to build *Package and any of its dependencies

func Compile 

func Compile(pkg *Package, deps ...*Action) (*Action, error)

Compile returns an Action representing the steps required to compile this package.

type Context 

type Context struct {
	Project

	Statistics

	Force   bool // force rebuild of packages
	Install bool // copy packages into $PROJECT/pkg
	Verbose bool // verbose output
	Nope    bool // command specific flag, under test it skips the execute action.
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Context represents an execution of one or more Targets inside a Project.

func NewContext added in v0.4.3 

func NewContext(p Project, opts ...func(*Context) error) (*Context, error)

NewContext returns a new build context from this project. By default this context will use the gc toolchain with the host's GOOS and GOARCH values.

func (*Context) Destroy 

func (c *Context) Destroy() error

Destroy removes the temporary working files of this context.

func (*Context) NewPackage added in v0.4.0 

func (c *Context) NewPackage(p *build.Package) (*Package, error)

NewPackage creates a resolved Package for p.

func (*Context) Pkgdir 

func (c *Context) Pkgdir() string

Pkgdir returns the path to precompiled packages.

func (*Context) ResolvePackage 

func (c *Context) ResolvePackage(path string) (*Package, error)

ResolvePackage resolves the package at path using the current context.

func (*Context) Suffix added in v0.1.2 

func (c *Context) Suffix() string

Suffix returns the suffix (if any) for binaries produced by this context.

func (*Context) Workdir 

func (c *Context) Workdir() string

Workdir returns the path to this Context's working directory.

type Importer added in v0.4.3 

type Importer interface {

	// Import attempts to resolve the package import path, path,
	// to an *importer.Package.
	Import(path string) (*build.Package, error)
}

Importer resolves package import paths to *importer.Packages.

type Package 

type Package struct {
	*Context
	*build.Package
	TestScope bool
	NotStale  bool // this package _and_ all its dependencies are not stale
	Main      bool // is this a command
	Imports   []*Package
}

Package represents a resolved package from the Project with respect to the Context.

func (*Package) Binfile 

func (pkg *Package) Binfile() string

Binfile returns the destination of the compiled target of this command.

func (*Package) Complete 

func (p *Package) Complete() bool

Complete indicates if this is a pure Go package

func (*Package) String 

func (p *Package) String() string

func (*Package) Workdir added in v0.4.4 

func (pkg *Package) Workdir() string

type Project 

type Project interface {

	// Projectdir returns the path root of this project.
	Projectdir() string

	// Pkgdir returns the path to precompiled packages.
	Pkgdir() string
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Project represents a gb project. A gb project has a simlar layout to a $GOPATH workspace. Each gb project has a standard directory layout starting at the project root, which we'll refer too as $PROJECT. 

$PROJECT/                       - the project root
$PROJECT/src/                   - base directory for the source of packages
$PROJECT/bin/                   - base directory for the compiled binaries

func NewProject 

func NewProject(root string) Project
Example 
package main

import (
	"log"
	"path/filepath"

	"github.com/constabulary/gb"
)

func main() {

	// Every project begins with a project root.
	// Normally you'd check this out of source control.
	root := filepath.Join("home", "dfc", "devel", "demo")

	// Create a new Project passing in the source directories
	// under this project's root.
	proj := gb.NewProject(root)

	// Create a new Context from the Project. A Context holds
	// the state of a specific compilation or test within the Project.
	ctx, err := gb.NewContext(proj)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Could not create new context:", err)
	}

	// Always remember to clean up your Context
	ctx.Destroy()
}

Output:

type Statistics 

type Statistics struct {
	sync.Mutex
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Statistics records the various Durations

func (*Statistics) Record 

func (s *Statistics) Record(name string, d time.Duration)

func (*Statistics) String 

func (s *Statistics) String() string

func (*Statistics) Total 

func (s *Statistics) Total() time.Duration

type Toolchain 

type Toolchain interface {
	Gc(pkg *Package, files []string) error
	Asm(pkg *Package, ofile, sfile string) error
	Pack(pkg *Package, afiles ...string) error
	Ld(*Package) error
	Cc(pkg *Package, ofile string, cfile string) error
