Re: Help with Clean rule in generator

Thanks Vladimir for your prompt and clear response!

1. I tried your suggestion (creating a LIS type) and it worked! I
have two more issues:

a) Now, it generates the following:

warning: using independent target
<..!..!..!generic!libs!bqueue/icc/debug/link-static_at_../../../generic/libs/bqueue/bin/icc/debug/link-static
@>bqueue.lis

Can I get rid of this warning, specifically for this LIS type? (I
don't want to completely disable warnings).

b) When the librarian fails, I am left with files that have random
letters in their base name but a consistent extension of .AAA, i.e. I
might be left with the following files:

_1abg.AAA
3_fd3fdd.AAA
012.AAA

I would like to clean these files as well. I could do something like:

actions piecemeal archive 
{
c:/icc/bin/ilibw $(AR_FLAGS) "$(<:W)" "$(>:W)"
rm *.AAA
}

However, I'd much rather delete them when 'bjam clean' is invoked and
not when 'bjam' is invoked.

2. The prefix I need is 'lib', so I tried:

generators.register-composing icc.archive : OBJ : STATIC_LIB(lib%) :
<toolset>icc ;

and it worked!

Thank you!
