# Manages 'generators' --- objects which can do transformation between different
# target types and contain algorithm for finding transformation from sources to
# targets.
#
# The main entry point to this module is generators.construct rule. It is given
# a list of source targets, desired target type and a set of properties. It
# starts by selecting 'viable generators', which have any chances of producing
# the desired target type with the required properties. Generators are ranked
# and a set of the most specific ones is selected.
#
# The most specific generators have their 'run' methods called, with the
# properties and list of sources. Each one selects a target which can be
# directly consumed, and tries to convert the remaining ones to the types it can
# consume. This is done by recursively calling 'construct' with all consumable
# types.
#
# If the generator has collected all the targets it needs, it creates targets
# corresponding to result, and returns it. When all generators have been run,
# results of one of them are selected and returned as a result.
#
# It is quite possible for 'construct' to return more targets that it was asked
# for. For example, if it were asked to generate a target of type EXE, but the
# only found generator produces both EXE and TDS (file with debug) information.
# The extra target will be returned.
#
# Likewise, when generator tries to convert sources to consumable types, it can
# get more targets that it was asked for. The question is what to do with extra
# targets. Boost.Build attempts to convert them to requested types, and attempts
# that as early as possible. Specifically, this is done after invoking each
# generator. TODO: An example is needed to document the rationale for trying
# extra target conversion at that point.
#
# In order for the system to be able to use a specific generator instance 'when
# needed', the instance needs to be registered with the system using
# generators.register() or one of its related rules. Unregistered generators may
# only be run explicitly and will not be considered by Boost.Build when when
# converting between given target types.
