# This template creates a set of shared libraries, by linking a single
# "partitioned" shared library, then splitting it into multiple pieces.
# The intention is to facilitate code-splitting between a base library and
# additional feature-specific libraries that may be obtained and loaded at a
# later time.
#
# The combined library is an intermediate product made by leveraging the LLVM
# toolchain.  Code modules may be labeled via compiler flag as belonging to a
# particular partition.  At link time, any symbols reachable by only a single
# partition's entrypoints will be located in a partition-specific library
# segment.  After linking, the segments are split apart using objcopy into
# separate libraries.  The main library is then packaged with the application
# as usual, while feature libraries may be packaged, delivered and loaded
# separately (via an Android Dynamic Feature Module).
#
# When loading a feature library, the intended address of the library must be
# supplied to the loader, so that it can be mapped to the memory location.  The
# address offsets of the feature libraries are stored in the base library and
# accessed through special symbols named according to the partitions.
#
# The template instantiates targets for the base library, as well as each
# specified partition, based on the root target name.  Example:
#
#   - libmonochrome            (base library)
#   - libmonochrome_foo        (partition library for feature 'foo')
#   - libmonochrome_bar        (partition library for feature 'bar')
#
# Note that the feature library filenames are chosen based on the main
# library's name (eg. libmonochrome_foo.so), but the soname of the feature
# library is based on the feature name (eg. "foo").  This should generally be
# okay, with the caveat that loading the library multiple times *might* cause
# problems in Android.
#
# This template uses shared_library's default configurations.
#
# Variables:
#   partitions: A list of library partition names to extract, in addition to
#     the base library.

  # base libraries.  To avoid collisions, each base library target has a
  # corresponding subdir for its extra partitions.
  #
  # If this proves problematic to various pieces of infrastructure, a proposed
  # alternative is allowing the linker to rename partitions.  For example,
  # feature "foo" may be a partition.  If two different base libraries both
  # define "foo" partitions, the linker may be made to accept an extra command
  # to rename the partition's soname to "foo1" or "foo2".  Other build config
  # can name the libraries foo1.so and foo2.so, allowing them to reside in the
