# The following methods are for modifying the CMake library[0] called
# "zephyr". zephyr is a catch-all CMake library for source files that
# can be built purely with the include paths, defines, and other
# compiler flags that all zephyr source files use.
# [0] https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html
#
# Example usage:
# zephyr_sources(
#   random_esp32.c
#   utils.c
# )
#
# Is short for:
# target_sources(zephyr PRIVATE
#   ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/random_esp32.c
#   ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/utils.c
# )
#
# As a very high-level introduction here are two call graphs that are
# purposely minimalistic and incomplete.

# 1.2 zephyr_library_*
#
# Zephyr libraries use CMake's library concept and a set of
# assumptions about how zephyr code is organized to cut down on
# boilerplate code.
#
# A Zephyr library can be constructed by the function zephyr_library
# or zephyr_library_named. The constructors create a CMake library
# with a name accessible through the variable ZEPHYR_CURRENT_LIBRARY.
#
# The variable ZEPHYR_CURRENT_LIBRARY should seldom be needed since
# the zephyr libraries have methods that modify the libraries. These
# methods have the signature: zephyr_library_<target-function>
#
# The methods are wrappers around the CMake target_* functions. See
# https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-commands.7.html for
# documentation on the underlying target_* functions.
#
# The methods modify the CMake target_* API to reduce boilerplate;
#  PRIVATE is assumed
#  The target is assumed to be ZEPHYR_CURRENT_LIBRARY
#
# When a flag that is given through the zephyr_* API conflicts with
# the zephyr_library_* API then precedence will be given to the
# zephyr_library_* API. In other words, local configuration overrides
# global configuration.

# A Zephyr interface library is a thin wrapper over a CMake INTERFACE

# files of this library will be accessible to the 'app' library.
#
# This is done because when a user uses Kconfig to enable a library he
# expects to be able to include it's header files and call it's
# functions out-of-the box.
#
# A Zephyr interface library should be used when there exists some
# build information (include directories, defines, compiler flags,
# etc.) that should be applied to a set of Zephyr libraries and 'app'
# might be one of these libraries.
#
# Zephyr libraries must explicitly call
# zephyr_library_link_libraries(<interface_library>) to use this build
# information. 'app' is treated as a special case for usability
# reasons; a Kconfig option (CONFIG_APP_LINK_WITH_<interface_library>)
# should exist for each interface_library and will determine if 'app'
# links with the interface_library.

# capabilities and it should normally be used in place of the

#
# check_compiler_flag
# check_c_compiler_flag
# check_cxx_compiler_flag
#
# See check_compiler_flag() for API documentation as it has the same
# API.
#
# It is implemented as a wrapper on top of check_compiler_flag, which
# again wraps the CMake-builtin's check_c_compiler_flag and
# check_cxx_compiler_flag.
#
# It takes time to check for compatibility of flags against toolchains
# so we cache the capability test results in USER_CACHE_DIR (This
# caching comes in addition to the caching that CMake does in the
# build folder's CMakeCache.txt)

# zephyr_linker_sources(<location> [SORT_KEY <sort_key>] <files>)
#
# <files> is one or more .ld formatted files whose contents will be
#    copied/included verbatim into the given <location> in the global linker.ld.
#    Preprocessor directives work inside <files>. Relative paths are resolved
#    relative to the calling file, like zephyr_sources().
# <location> is one of
#    NOINIT       Inside the noinit output section.
#    RWDATA       Inside the data output section.
#    RODATA       Inside the rodata output section.
#    ROM_START    Inside the first output section of the image. This option is
#                 currently only available on ARM Cortex-M, ARM Cortex-R,
#                 x86, ARC, and openisa_rv32m1.
#    RAM_SECTIONS Inside the RAMABLE_REGION GROUP.
#    SECTIONS     Near the end of the file. Don't use this when linking into
#                 RAMABLE_REGION, use RAM_SECTIONS instead.
# <sort_key> is an optional key to sort by inside of each location. The key must
#    be alphanumeric, and the keys are sorted alphabetically. If no key is
#    given, the key 'default' is used. Keys are case-sensitive.
#
# Use NOINIT, RWDATA, and RODATA unless they don't work for your use case.
#
# When placing into NOINIT, RWDATA, RODATA, ROM_START, the contents of the files
# will be placed inside an output section, so assume the section definition is
# already present, e.g.:
#    _mysection_start = .;
#    KEEP(*(.mysection));
#    _mysection_end = .;
#    _mysection_size = ABSOLUTE(_mysection_end - _mysection_start);
#
# When placing into SECTIONS or RAM_SECTIONS, the files must instead define
# their own output sections to achieve the same thing:
#    SECTION_PROLOGUE(.mysection,,)
#    {
#        _mysection_start = .;

#        _mysection_end = .;
#    } GROUP_LINK_IN(ROMABLE_REGION)
#    _mysection_size = _mysection_end - _mysection_start;
#
# Note about the above examples: If the first example was used with RODATA, and

# perspective.
