No support for precious files

Closed this issue · 2 comments

In a use case we have some IDL generated files that have some user code between special tags and the IDL compiler is capable of generating the IDL files and keep the user code. On a realclean/clean these files shouldn't be removed, but when the IDL file is newer than the generated h/cpp it should be generated. Looks there is no support for this in MPC, have the concept of a precious file that is a generated file, but not removed on a clean/realclean.

We do have this as part of our taox11 extension, need to be migrated to MPC at some point https://github.com/RemedyIT/taox11/tree/master/bin/MPC/templates

Has been merged into MPC some time ago
