Waf:Create custom parallel tasks - c

Question

In Waf how can I create multiple custom tasks, that can run parallel (with --jobs=JOBS)?
Sources = ["C:\\src1.c", "C:\\Mod1\src2.c", ... 30pcs] # one per call
Incl_Paths = ["Mod1". "Mod1"] # list all of them in all call
INCL_ST = "-I%s" # how to format an include path in an argument
Ext_out = "_loc" # output file extension
The goal:
C:\\LOC.exe -IMod1 -IMod2 C:\\src1.c > build\\src1.c_loc //or better src1_loc
C:\\LOC.exe -IMod1 -IMod2 C:\\Mod1\src2.c > build\\src2.c_loc //or better src2_loc
...
I couldn't get it work
def build(bld):
for i in Sources:
bld.new_task_gen(
source = i,
rule='C:\\LOC.exe ${INCL_ST:Incl_Paths} ${SRC} > ' + i + Ext_out,
)
Also I couldn't extract the exe
# find_program(self, filename, path_list=[], var=None, environ=None, exts=''):
cfg.find_program("C:\\LOC.exe", var='LOC')
To change from:
rule='C:\\LOC.exe ...'
To:
rule='${LOC} ...'

Something like this should work with waf 1.7:
from waflib.Task import Task
from waflib.TaskGen import extension
Ext_out = "_loc" # output file extension
def configure(conf):
# loc.exe must be in the system path for this to work
conf.find_program(
'loc',
var = "LOC",
)
conf.env.Incl_Paths = ["Mod1", "Mod1"]
conf.env.INCL_ST = "-I%s"
#extension('.c')
def process_loc(self, node):
out_node = node.change_ext(Ext_out)
tsk = self.create_task('loc')
tsk.set_inputs(node)
tsk.set_outputs(out_node)
class loc_task(Task):
ext_in = ['.c']
ext_out = ['_loc']
run_str = "${LOC} ${INCL_ST:Incl_Paths} ${SRC} > ${TGT}"
def build(bld):
bld(source = ["src1.c", "src2.c"])
Well it works for me on linux faking loc ...
