# Scans files for special GN target expressions and evaluates them, modifying
# the files in-place.
#
# The supported expressions are the same as within the arguments list of a
# pw_python_action target, namely:
#
#   <TARGET_FILE(//some/label:here)> - expands to the
#       output file (such as a .a or .elf) from a GN target
#   <TARGET_FILE_IF_EXISTS(//some/label:here)> - expands to
#       the output file if the target exists, or nothing
#   <TARGET_OBJECTS(//some/label:here)> - expands to the
#       object files produced by the provided GN target
#
# This template may be useful, for example, to generate an artifact file
# containing a list of binary objects produced by targets within a build.
# Typically, this is used as a subtarget of a larger template, rather than a
# standalone target.
#
# Args:
#   files: List of file paths to scan for expressions.
#
# Example:
#
#   template("executable_with_artifacts") {
#     executable("${target_name}.exe") {
#       sources = invoker.sources
#     }
#
#     _artifacts_file = "$target_gen_dir/${target_name}_artifacts.json"
#     _artifacts = {
#       binary = "<TARGET_FILE(:${target_name}.exe)>"
#       objects = "<TARGET_OBJECTS(:${target_name}.exe)>"
#     }
#     write_file(_artifacts_file, _artifacts, "json")
#
#     pw_evaluate_path_expressions("${target_name}.evaluate") {
#       files = [ _artifacts_file ]
#     }
#
#     group(target_name) {
#       deps = [
#         ":${target_name}.exe",
#         ":${target_name}.evaluate",
#       ]
#     }
#   }
