ctypes
stub generation to depend onforeign_archives
if they're provided in the enclosingexecutable
orlibrary
stanza.The use case this supports is a C library vendored in your project with complicated build rules that must run to completion before the rest of
ctypes
evaluation can proceed, like a lengthy./configure
script that produces the vendored library's header files that must be included by the generated C stubs.This doesn't change the dune
