A Tour of the Dune Codebase
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This document is based on Dune 3.15.0, whose source can be browsed `here
|
|
<https://github.com/ocaml/dune/tree/3.15.0>`_. The links in this tour point
|
|
to this version, but will not reflect how this works in other versions of
|
|
Dune.
|
|
|
|
Let's start with a very high level tour of how ``dune build`` operates.
|
|
|
|
As explained in :doc:`/explanation/mental-model`, ``dune build`` will interpret
|
|
the targets listed on the command line, interpret the ``dune`` files in the
|
|
workspace as rules, and execute the rules relevant to the requested targets.
|
|
|
|
These steps correspond to areas of the Dune codebase:
|
|
|
|
- the command-line interface is defined in :file:`bin/`;
|
|
- the ``dune`` files are interpreted using a library defined in
|
|
:file:`src/dune_rules/`;
|
|
- they are registered into an engine in :file:`src/dune_engine/`.
|
|
|
|
Next, we will go deeper into these areas.
