Previously, inquiring and validating a custom toolchain was coupled to registration, which made it difficult to simply look at the custom toolchain independent of registering it.
This change implements
ToolchainBuilder
, a builder object that finds, validates, and registers a custom toolchain. Each step can be performed independently, with the caveat that registration depends on validation which depends on finding the custom toolchain.Use cases include:
This change also cleans up some of the platform-specific symlink code by implementing a trait,
SymlinkOrFallback
, which different platforms can adopt.This change does not add or remove any existing functionality (except for maybe introducing opportunities for non-Unix-like or Windows platforms to register a custom toolchain).
