[GRADLE-3564] Gradle does not handle include files included via macro Created: 20/Sep/16  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: None

Type: Bug
Reporter: Sterling Greene Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Won't Fix Votes: 0


 Description   

When a native source file or a transitive header of a dource file does something like

#include SOMEMACRO

And then programmatically or via command line argument sets SOMEMACRO to a file path, Gradle cannot determine the value of SOMEMACRO and cannot determine tthe complete set of inputs for the task.

In this case, Gradle will consoder any source file as out of date that includes headers in this way when _any _ for the task changes.

This can cause unexpectedly longer compilation times when the user expects only a single file to be compiled.
