# 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 a build arg like
# `pw_[module]_BACKEND` at a backend implementation for that module.
#
# pw_facade creates two targets:
#
# $target_name: The public-facing pw_source_set that provides the API and
# implementation (backend). Users of the facade should depend on this.
# $target_name.facade: A private source_set that provides ONLY the API. ONLY
# backends should depend on this.
#
# If the target name matches the directory name (e.g. //foo:foo), a ":facade"
# alias of the facade target (e.g. //foo:facade) is also provided. This avoids
# the need to repeat the directory name, for consistency with the main target.
#
# The facade's headers are split out into the *.facade target to avoid circular
# dependencies. Here's a concrete example to illustrate why this is needed:
#
# foo_BACKEND = "//foo:foo_backend_bar"
#
# pw_facade("foo") {
# backend = foo_BACKEND
# public = [ "foo.h" ]
# sources = [ "foo.cc" ]
# }
#
# pw_source_set("foo_backend_bar") {
# deps = [ ":foo.facade" ]
# sources = [ "bar.cc" ]
# }
#
# This creates the following dependency graph:
#
# foo.facade <-.
# ^ \
# | \
# | \
# foo ----------> foo_backend_bar
#
# This allows foo_backend_bar to include "foo.h". If you tried to directly
# depend on `foo` from `foo_backend_bar`, you'd get a dependency cycle error in
# GN.
#
# Accepts the standard pw_source_set args with the following additions:
#
# Args:
# backend: (required) The dependency that implements this facade (a GN
# variable)
# public: (required) The headers exposed by this facade. A facade acts as a
# tool to break dependency cycles that come from the backend trying to
# include headers from the facade itself. If the facade doesn't expose any
# headers, it's basically the same as just depending directly on the build
# arg that `backend` is set to.
