📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe build now finalizes compiler defines after gem setup. ChangesBuild define capabilities
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The change adds a stable build-time define query and documents its setup-phase boundary; the previously identified handling of valued compiler defines is addressed, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

- Around line 405-408: Update the define-name comparison in the capability query
to remove the compiler-style “-D” prefix from each define before comparing it
with the normalized name. Preserve splitting at the first “=” so both “-DFOO=1”
and “FOO=1” match the query for “FOO”.

Rakefiledoc/guides/mrbgems.mdlib/mruby/build.rb
Eight core gems announce a capability to the rest of the build by adding to
`spec.build.defines`: `MRB_USE_BIGINT`, `MRB_UTF8_STRING`,
`HAVE_MRUBY_IO_GEM`, `MRB_USE_TASK_SCHEDULER` and the like. No gem reads one
back. The three `defines.include?` calls in `mrbgems/*/mrbgem.rake` all read
the gem's own `cc.defines` or one the build configuration set, never one
another gem contributed.
The channel is write-only for a reason. A gem contributes its defines when
its own mrbgem.rake body runs, and `MRuby::Gem::List#setup` runs those bodies
in the order the gems were added, so a gem that reads `build.defines` during
that phase gets an answer that depends on where it sits in the list.
`full-core.gembox` globs the directory, and `mruby-encoding` sorts before
`mruby-regexp`, so the one pairing that would be asked about today happens to
work. Naming the two gems in the other order is enough to break it:
```ruby
MRuby::Build.new('probe') do |conf|
conf.gem :core => 'mruby-regexp'
conf.gem :core => 'mruby-encoding' # contributes MRB_UTF8_STRING
conf.gembox 'default'
end
```
Read from `mruby-regexp`'s block, `build.defines.include?('MRB_UTF8_STRING')`
is `false` there and `true` with the two lines swapped. Both builds compile
with `-DMRB_UTF8_STRING`.
`MRuby::Build#has_define?` answers the same question and refuses to answer it
early:
```
build.has_define?("MRB_UTF8_STRING") cannot be answered while gems are still
being set up, because a gem contributes its defines then. Ask from a
`spec.build_settings` block instead.
```
`build_settings` is called from `MRuby::Gem::List#check`, after every gem's
setup, which is where the answer is stable. The Rakefile marks the boundary
once per target, right after `gems.setup`, so a build with no gems reaches it
too.
The reader spans both places a define can come from, `build.defines` and the
compilers' own, and matches on the name alone, so a define added as `FOO=1`
answers `has_define?("FOO")`. The `-D` belongs to the compiler flag and not to
the define, so it is no part of the name to ask under.
### Verified
On the config above and on `ci/gcc-clang`, printed from both phases:
```
probe-bad-order setup: REFUSED build_settings: true
full-debug setup: REFUSED build_settings: true
bintest setup: REFUSED build_settings: true
cxx_abi setup: REFUSED build_settings: true
byte-string setup: REFUSED build_settings: false
```
`byte-string` is `full-core` minus `mruby-encoding`, so `false` is the whole
of the difference. A define carrying a value (`PROBE_VALUED=7`) answers under
its name, and a name nothing defines answers `false`.
`MRUBY_CONFIG=ci/gcc-clang rake -m test`, all four builds and the bintests,
KO 0:
```
byte-string Total 2227 Skip 29
full-debug Total 2288 Skip 2
bintest Total 2289 Skip 10 + 116 bintests
cxx_abi Total 2289 Skip 10
```
### No caller yet
Nothing in the tree calls it. The gems that split their tests by build mode
(`mruby-string-ext`, `mruby-regexp`) do it at run time with `skip unless`,
which needs no build-time answer and stays the better tool for that job. This
is for a gem that has to configure itself, not its tests, against another
gem's capability, and it is offered so that the first one to need it finds a
question it cannot get wrong rather than an array it can read too early.
