CppComponent (Gradle API 7.6.4)

Package org.gradle.language.cpp

## Interface CppComponent

- All Superinterfaces:
    `ComponentWithBinaries`, `ComponentWithDependencies`, `ComponentWithTargetMachines`, `Named`, `SoftwareComponent`
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    `CppApplication`, `CppLibrary`, `CppTestSuite`, `ProductionCppComponent`

      public interface CppComponent
      extends ComponentWithBinaries, ComponentWithDependencies, ComponentWithTargetMachines

  Configuration for a C++ component, such as a library or executable, defining the source files and private header directories that make up the component. Private headers are those that are visible only to the source files of the component.

  A C++ component is composed of some C++ source files that are compiled and then linked into some binary.

  An instance of this type is added as a project extension by the C++ plugins.

  Since:
    4.2

    - #### getBaseName

          Property<java.lang.String> getBaseName()

      Specifies the base name for this component. This name is used to calculate various output file names. The default value is calculated from the project name.

    - #### getSource

          ConfigurableFileCollection getSource()

      Defines the source files or directories of this component. You can add files or directories to this collection. When a directory is added, all source files are included for compilation.

      When this collection is empty, the directory `src/main/cpp` is used by default.

    - #### source

          void source​(Action<? super ConfigurableFileCollection> action)

      Configures the source files or directories for this component.

    - #### getCppSource

          FileCollection getCppSource()

      Returns the C++ source files of this component, as defined in `getSource()`.

    - #### getPrivateHeaders

          ConfigurableFileCollection getPrivateHeaders()

      Defines the private header file directories of this library.

      When this collection is empty, the directory `src/main/headers` is used by default.

    - #### privateHeaders

          void privateHeaders​(Action<? super ConfigurableFileCollection> action)

      Configures the private header directories for this component.

    - #### getPrivateHeaderDirs

          FileCollection getPrivateHeaderDirs()

      Returns the private header include directories of this component, as defined in `getPrivateHeaders()`.

    - #### getHeaderFiles

          FileTree getHeaderFiles()

      Returns all header files of this component. Includes public and private header files.

    - #### getImplementationDependencies

          Configuration getImplementationDependencies()

      Returns the implementation dependencies of this component.

    - #### getBinaries

          BinaryCollection<? extends CppBinary> getBinaries()

      Returns the binaries for this library.
