This is a reverse mirror of MSVC-PR-445938. The goal is for the MSVC toolset to communicate to the IDE, MSBuild, and CMake where the Standard Library Modules are located, and the simple dependency relationship between them, so that
import std;
can automatically work with as little user effort as possible. (There will be more changes in the MSVC and VS repos to add properties and environment variables to communicate where this file is located.)modules.json
is JSON without comments, because multiple tools will need to read this file, and some might not support JSON-with-comments. (Accordingly, it lacks our usual banners.)I've verified that
modules.json
is copied to the output directory (e.g. toD:\GitHub\STL\out\x64\out\modules\modules.json
).
