From dda5e8cadbfdeee3267b1a0943c014e06bcd0100 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dylan Baker Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 13:46:07 -0700 Subject: Allow CustomTarget's to be indexed This allows a CustomTarget to be indexed, and the resulting indexed value (a CustomTargetIndex type), to be used as a source in other targets. This will confer a dependency on the original target, but only inserts the source file returning by index the original target's outputs. This can allow a CustomTarget that creates both a header and a code file to have it's outputs split, for example.
