IBuild

Interface to the build system.

Executing a build typically requires a definition, input resolver, session, and function.

Use IBuild::CreateDefinition() to make a new build definition, or use IBuild::LoadDefinition() to load a build definition that was previously saved. This references the function to execute, and the inputs needed by the function.

Use IBuild::CreateSession() to make a new build session with a build input resolver to resolve input references into the referenced data. Use FBuildSession::Build() to schedule a definition to build, along with any of its transitive build dependencies.

Implement a IBuildFunction, with a unique name and version, to add values to the build context based on constants and inputs in the context. Use TBuildFunctionFactory to add the function to the registry at IBuild::GetFunctionRegistry() to allow the build job to find it.
