# Declare a facade.
# A Pigweed facade is an API layer that has a single implementation it must link
# against. Typically this will be done by pointing `dir_pw_[module]_backend` at
# a backend implementation for that module.
#
# Example facade:
#
#   pw_facade("module_name") {
#     backend = dir_module_name_backend
#     public_deps = [
#       ":module_api_layer"
#     ]
#   }
#
# Args:
#  - backend: the dependency that implements this facade
#
template("pw_facade") {
  assert(defined(invoker.backend),
         "pw_facade requires a reference to a backend variable for the facade")

  # A facade's headers are split into a separate target to avoid a circular
  # dependency between the facade and the backend.
  #
  # For example, the following targets:
  #
  #   foo_backend = "//foo:foo_backend_bar"
  #
  #   pw_facade("foo") {
  #     backend = foo_backend
  #     public = [ "foo.h" ]
  #     sources = [ "foo.cc" ]
  #   }
  #
  #   source_set("foo_backend_bar") {
  #     deps = [ ":facade" ]
  #     sources = [ "bar.cc" ]
  #   }
  #
  # Create the following dependency graph:
  #
  #   facade  <-.
  #    ^         \
  #    |          \
  #    |           \
  #   foo  ------>  foo_backend_bar

        #
