Hi there,
I am trying to use tag feature for the project I have below is the rule itself;

rule tag ( name : type ? : property-set )
{  
    ECHO $(type) ;
    local tag = ;
    local properties = [ $(property-set).raw ] ;
    if <variant>debug in $(properties) { tag = d ; }
    if $(type) = SHARED_LIB
    {
        ECHO $(tag)shared ;
        local suffix = $(tag).dll ;
        return $(name)$(suffix:E="") ;
    }
    if $(type) = IMPORT_LIB
    {
        ECHO $(tag)shared ;
        local suffix = $(tag).lib ;
        return $(name)$(suffix:E="") ;
    }
    if $(type) = STATIC_LIB
    { 
        ECHO $(tag)static ;   
        local suffix = s$(tag).lib ;
        return $(name)$(suffix:E="") ;
    }

}

if i use static everything works fine, but when the type is shared the resulting library name is same as if the return value of tag haven't used at all
